Re: FFFC
It isn't bad and I figure strangers at the store won't even notice.

So, DHs sister and her sons birthday is on the 15th so I really don't want LO to be born on the 15th because I want her to have her own birthday, not share one. FWP lol.

The other day we ran out of toilet paper and I used baby wipes instead. I figure, if works on a baby's bottom, why not mine? DH totally side-eyed me.

I told DH that in the delivery room I only want him no one else. Every one is okay with that but they are already planning on going to the hospital when I arrive there. I told my mom if I happen to make it to my inducement appointment that they do not have to arrive with me since the doctor said I'll probably begin pushing the next day and I don't think they liked that.
I plan on just texting everyone when I'm going to start pushing and then by the time they arrive DH and I will have time with LO alone. But I'm already annoyed by this.
I hope you go soon, lol.
Its not that I can't go, it just hurts like a bitch when I do.

Trust me... you need to let these people know that you appreciate their excitement, but that they don't need to text you constantly to see what's going on. You'll be a lot less stressed out if you let them know. We had to flat out tell DH's mother that she was NOT allowed to call and discuss anything baby related or else we'd hang up on her. It was stressing me out and as we got closer and closer to my EDD, it was getting me discouraged. The last straw was when she asked me if my vagina was puffy and I threw the phone across the room onto the couch next to DH and told him that I was done with it. We told everyone that if they hadn't gotten a call from us, that everything was fine and it was not baby time.
This morning I had issues finding a parking space in the garage at work and when I finally did find one, it was a tight spot. I opened my car door and realized my belly was too big for me to squeeze out, so I had to continue circling the garage until someone left.

DH decided to tell his mom around 10pm when they decided to start some pitocin. He told her not to come to the hospital. Well sure enough a few hours later she showed up. Not cool MIL. Fate stepped in and made her have to go to work (drive a school bus) For 2 hours so she had to leave just before I started pushing and got back shortly after I had her. We did tell some people while I was laboring but not me...my mom and DH kept people informed so I don't even know who knew what.
Anyway, what I am saying is that it is okay to wait until the last minute to decide who is getting notified!
@lb1117 I didn't think it would be that tough to give up wine but man did I want some while pregnant. I think it was because I knew I couldn't have it.

Also, I purposefully didnt do laundry this week cause I knew we were going away for the weekend and it would force DH to do it today while I'm at work. He was gone on a business trip until very late Wednesday. Oops!
ETA: clarity
I honestly don't even know how to deal with it. If anyone asks me about my vagina I would have flipped too! My SILs husband works for us and he texts DH every day asking if I had baby yet, it's really annoying DH and I.
I'm over this gentle crap. It's nice and all...but it's just not getting it done for me.
@lb1117, I had a glass of wine or two (or three) throughout my 9 months. My kid is fine. Even just a sip was good enough.

Madeline - I told H at least twice a week how I now understood why people take off time before the baby comes. Because you are effing miserable. I know B came two weeks early, but even though I was getting pretty uncomfortable, I was still glad to have something take my mind off how miserable I was and you really will want that time after your baby comes. I ended up going back when B was just shy of 10 weeks and I wish I could have had a full 12 with him. Even in the past week, he's gotten so much more interactive and fun and Henerally not as difficult and I wish I could be there with him.
