37 weeks
Yay! I'm officially considered full term. If Lily decides she's ready, they wouldn't try to stop delivery. After my appointment today I can say that she's not ready. LOL. I'm not dilated at all and my cervix is still thick. She was not overly happy about my doctor trying to find out either. Lily went a little crazy kicking when my doctor was checking my cervix. My sister was disappointed I wasn't dilated yet. I had to remind her that Lily isn't due until March 10th.
I worked on packing our hospital bags a bit more this weekend. Trying to be mostly prepared but there are some things I just can't pack yet since I use them every day. We only live 5 minutes from the hospital so DH can always run home if we do forget stuff. I'm wondering when this nesting that people speak of will kick in. I had some nesting a month ago with all the cooking I was doing. But right now I do not have crazy bursts of energy or the desire to scrub my house. Heck, I'd be happy to have the desire to do more than the dishes or laundry.
No new pictures to update. The nursery is still the same. We did get our lamp in, but I still have a few other things to do. Darn this no energy thing. And I do have a pregnancy lady vent to add here at the end. Feel free to skip it. I just didn't feel like creating two separate posts today.
I know family drives you crazy. I think it's part of what they are there for. But my in-laws say the darnedest things sometimes. We had dinner last night with my MIL and one of my SIL's and her family. I'm sure most of what bugged me stems from pregnancy hormones. I really don't have much tolerance these days. LOL. First MIL and SIL were giving us a hard time because we didn't call them ASAP when we got the Subaru to show it off. Honestly I didn't even know hubby hadn't told them until yesterday. Plus it's only been a week and we've both been pretty darn busy. No biggie, just seemed silly they were making such a big deal out of us not saying anything. Then later when we were leaving, both my MIL and SIL asked if we were going to call them when I go into labor. I looked at both and was like "yeah, why wouldn't we?". I asked hubby later at home "do they honestly think we wouldn't call them? WTF?" He said it probably came from not telling them about the car. He doesn't feel the need to call them with every single little change or detail, ect. Again, no biggie, just weird to me that they would be like that. Last but not least, in the middle of those two things, SIL and BIL were giving me crap for ordering a hamburger at a steak place and how if they can afford a steak we can too. Okay first of all - pregnant lady here - not supposed to eat meat that is not well done. Why would I order a steak well done? I'm a medium rare steak kind of girl. So I gently pointed that out How kind of SIL to say she never followed that rule. Good for her. I have been. Secondly, rude much to make a comment about who can afford what. This I didn't comment on but I wanted to. And SIL gets all cranky wondering why we picked a steak place if I wasn't going to eat steak. We didn't pick it, MIL did. Any single one of these things would just be annoying, but I ended up feeling like we spent 2-3 hours being criticized for all sorts of things and I was at my limit. There were other comments including one about me already having our car seat installed and how it was "too early", but I didn't even respond to those. I just ended up talking to and playing with my niece to avoid the "adult" conversation.
Re: 37 weeks
I am so glad you are doing well. Congrats on reaching 37 weeks!
As far as your in-laws go, I would ingore them all. But easier said than done because my in-laws annoy me and I have a hard time just ingoring them. My SIL makes rude comments to me all the time and I usually say something back. I also go home and complain to my friend or my mom. Lots of luck dealing with them. Pretty soon all you'll be worried about is your little Lily.
Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.
Wow!!! Full term! Congrats!
As for the inlaws, I would have been just as annoyed. I hate when people assume stuff. There are things you say and things you should just think to yourself.
Wow! Full term already?? = ) Congrats!
My MIL is pretty much the same way. She's used to always having kids in her house and at home. Now that T has been married/moved out for a year, his oldest sister is engaged with two kids and has her own place, his other sister is married with three kids and they just bought a house and will no longer be staying there and his brother got married in October and lives in an apartment...she's lonely. So she calls and calls and calls and wants to know every single detail in our lives.It gets annoying but I try to ignore it.
Way to go on keeping your mouth shut though lol. I should do that more often but don't.

LOL, thanks ladies. Usually I don't get so bothered by what they say. Like I said, pregnancy has given me a lower tolerance level for drama and all that jazz. It was hard not to say anything at the time, but I know it was for the best. Thanks for letting me vent.
