I have been having mild contractions all morning since I got to work. 3 mins long about 12-15 mins apart. I’m trying not to get too excited because I know they could fizzle out at any time. I wish I knew what was going to happen.

I passed my mucus plug this morning. I know this may or may not mean that labor is imminent (how annoying!)- does anyone have any anecdotes? DH says I lost mine the night before my water broke. I have terrible vision and didn't bother flushing when I was pregnant/rarely turned on a light during night pees. No idea if it was bloody ... probably if dh noticed it. What a fun morning that was for him lmao.

They sent me home. All my labs and tests were normal. My BP stayed high though so now I get to have 2 NST a week until delivery. Yay!!! (Not lol). I go back again Sunday and am to call if I get headaches or start swelling. Not gonna complain too much though because so far it's nothing bad and no talk of induction so far. I really wanted to avoid that this time around

I'm done. I'm out. I am on strike from parenting until this baby comes. I can't even deal with my 5 year old anymore. He is like hot and cold and just had a ranging tantrum for 10 minutes about who knows what.

So my doctor checked me since I’ve been having cramping and contractions... cervix is still long and I’m only a fingertip dilated. I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that these contractions aren’t doing anything... I know I have to have a c-section, but I’m just feeling like crap and ready to be done... #12moredays

I get it, it's super discouraging. Keep your chin up, there's a light at the end of this.

Oh and H’s POS employee in Tampa... yeah, apparently people are complaining about his “views”. I’m not sure if I shared here or not, but it was mentioned to H after we got back from Dallas (and asked not to be made into an HR issue at the time) that the guy is a racist and claiming white people have genetic superiority over all other races, but especially black people. H lost any patience he once had with this guy... anyway, H’s boss told him today that people are complains to him and H needs to do something about it. He also told H that the guy was wearing an Iron Cross polo and mentioned to someone it’s a “club” that he’s in... so yeah, the guy is a freaking Nazi... this is the shit that H will have to deal with instead of enjoying any time with Jack when he’s born.

Also... DD1 is dealing with harassment from a customer at work. So far only on the phone, but the guy is asking really inappropriate questions. She works at a photography studio. The guy has an appointment on Saturday and she and her manager don’t feel comfortable so They reaches out to H for advice. He told them cancel the appointment, contact HR, the district manager and file a police report. They contacted the DM, I’m not sure she’s doing anything, she did ask that they not cancel the appointment and said she’d be there tomorrow. DD1 went to the sheriff station yesterday and filed a report... she said she started crying when she had to repeat the things he has said to her. They don’t have caller ID at work so there is no way to screen the calls. Edit to change to DD1. I originally put DD2 by mistake... DD1 is 21, DD2 is only 2.

cdnfarmgirlLT for commiseration. My 3.5 year old is...um...."spirited". He's such a giant PITA that I really cant handle him most days. The tantrums and talking back are ridiculous. On top of that, the one year old has recently developed an attitude. I'd like to ship them both off to boarding school in Switzerland for like the next 2 months.

WTF? Who asked him not to "make it an HR issue?" Fuck. That. Get rid of that asshole.

I would definitely see on the side of cancelling his appointment.

WTF? Who asked him not to "make it an HR issue?" Fuck. That. Get rid of that asshole. H’s direct report that gave his notice today. Super nice guy, he mentioned it to H as a “can you believe the conversation we had at lunch”? He asked H not to bring it up since the guy hasn’t mentioned anything like that at work. H has been struggling with this for the past few weeks and now it’s worse with the things his boss said today. H also googled the guy and found a a mug shot from March... he was arrested for domestic battery by strangulation... H is really pissed and doesn’t understand how that didn’t come back on the guys background check. He was asked t hire this guy by his boss and some other executive... he would have said no had he privy to any of this. Unfortunately he can’t just fire anyone... everything has to go through HR and it takes forever... last guy took almost 3 months to get the approval to let him go.

DD is upstairs running around her room singing “I like to move it move it” while H tried to wrestle her into pajamas. She refused to put on underwear until he sang along. I really wish I had a video of this.
