I wrote on here several weeks ago that once I hit the 30 day mark things will feel more "real". Nope, I still must be in denial that in a month I will probably have a little baby. Now i'm like "I bet once I hit 38 weeks it will feel more real". haha.
Also, everything down there feels so sore and sensitive, it feels like when I was on my period around 3rd or 4th day, slight cramping but not too bad. Anyone else?
I'm glad it's Friday. I'm going to see my mom this weekend and do some shopping. I'm finally starting to feel better about my appearance. I'm excited to see my bump grow.

cheeseandcrackers I think the same thing about 30 weeks. I'm almost there! The size of my belly isn't letting me deny that shit's getting real!
I have my last monthly OB appt today, then I'm every 2 weeks. I weighed myself this morning so there wouldn't be any shock factor. It showed a 3 lb gain since last month, that's without clothes and on an empty stomach so I'm guessing it will come in around 5 lbs bringing me to 30 so far, so maybe 40 total? I can live with that.
I "gave my notice" as far as teaching fitness classes. I'll teach my last class next Sunday at 30 weeks exactly. The lower back and pelvic girdle pain I get after is enough for me to stop.

My mom has known forever that I just want my H and I in the delivery room. She sent me a text this am saying I wish I could be in the delivery room with you (sad crying emoji). She has a way of always wanting to control things her way. Im not budging on my decision but it annoys me that she acts like this. Im just waiting for her to critique and nitpick my baby registry like she did with our wedding registry too.

Don't let her harass you! And feel free to keep her out as much after as you want. You're in the hospital such a short time that you need to use that time how you best see fit.

That's frustrating and unfair of her to be manipulative like that. But, stick to your guns! Is it possible fro you to not call her until after the baby is even born?

Tell her the labor was so quick and there was no time to call, so very sorry mom! lol

38 weeks 3 days here and I also feel crampy and sore. I figure it's just pressure from her being soooo low.

Ugh. I am sorry kellsbells. Your mom sounds so fun to be around. :-( I am definitely team not telling her about labor. Especially if all she is going to do is try to guilt trip you and nitpick everything. You don't need that energy.
My random is that I don't know how I feel about this baby yet. Sometimes I have all the love and excitement, and others I think WTF did we just do? It doesn't necessarily feel real to me either. Just an extended stomach bug. I don't really "feel" maternal. Huh.

That sucks, I'm sorry. My MIL has simply said "I want to see a baby be born". Which is her way of saying she wants to be there without actually asking. Sooo passive aggressive. DH has started telling her to YouTube birth videos if she wants to see that
29 weeks and I'm starting to freak out that this is really happening. I feel guilty but I'm scared and anxious that we won't be able to handle a baby. Things happened so much faster than I was expecting and I feel like I am not prepared. I'm sure it will be fine... it just doesn't help that I'm super stressed about work and life and I feel like everything is up in the air right now.
This month has been nuts with a lot of travel, I'm exhausted. My sister and her H are coming out this weekend to help us move furniture to convert the office to the baby's room. We're so not ready! But it will be fine, her help is so awesome and they even got her in laws to watch their kids for the weekend to come out and help us. Super sweet. I just hope we can get everything done.
I totally just need a day to relax and do nothing though and I don't think we have one until next weekend. I'm so tired...
I'm annoyed because my H texted me today to see if we should ask his sister if she would like to come to our next ultrasound. I know she's excited to be an aunt, but no, just no. And she has two kids of her own, so it's not like she's never seen an ultrasound before. I guess I'm already irritated because I was trying to be nice and asked my MIL if she would like to come to the fetal echo with me in a few weeks because H is going to be out of town. And then she invited FIL to come along too. What does she think this is, a 3-ring circus?
On a happier note, I finally admitted to my students that I'm pregnant. They are very excited and are saying they have known for months, but didn't want to ask. And they want to have a baby shower for me, which is cute.

My mom was upset too. We originally weren't going to tell parents until after they were born but my mom ended up driving me to the hospital. She stayed in the family room though while I labored. I didn't even tell her when it was time to push so she had no idea until it was all done.
My ILs booked airfare and if i don't have the baby before 39 weeks and they induce as planned, my ILs will be arriving on the day I get home from the hospital if it turns into a c-section.
I know those are two big "ifs," but I am annoyed that H doesn't get why I want a couple of days to adjust to motherhood before we have company. He thinks the timing is perfect because they'll be there to help us cook and do laundry. No. My ILs are not washing my bloody undergarments.
I want to be able to figure out feeding and just lay on the couch and recover. I think about how I felt after gallbladder surgery and I can't imagine having people over for 4.5 days.
I get along very well with them, so hopefully all will be well and I'm just emotional. For example: MIL told H that she doesn't like one of our name choices(those weren't her exact words, but the message was clear). I'm not sure I love it either, but I was ready to insist we name the baby that when he told me her reaction. I am feeling weirdly territorial and defensive this week! I don't like it.
kellsbelles - another vote here for you to not even tell her until after baby is born. The last thing you'll need during labor is the extra stress of having to tell her no again and again.
krystee and @choco - I'm similar with my MIL and names. We haven't told her the name we've picked yet (haven't actually told her we've picked a name yet either, just that we have some ideas) and she has pestered me about it a lot. She'll say things like, "I think you should tell us what names you're thinking of. It can't be worse than [cousins baby's name]" - um, what part of that sort of request would make me want to tell you what we're thinking??
We had sex last night in hopes of something happening. I had good, strong ctx for a couple of hours, but they died down. major pelvic pressure, low back pain, and I think I've lost a little bit of the mucous plug this morning. We'll see what all of that amounts to over the next week+.

Omg, this is my mom. I told her I do not want her there and she is extremely bitter because my sister let her stay. I said "oh, good for her, but I am not comfortable with it". And then she proceeded to brag about how she was the first one to hold my nephew, even before my sister. OMG. NO. lol

Thats so funny I have a younger sister who insnt even dating anyone yet and mom will say "well SHE will let me in the delivery room". I just have to remind her that she can watch the miracle of life happen with her and not me then. I can so see my mom trying to take the baby from the midwife before my husband even got to hold him ha!
I've decided what pre-baby gifts are the greatest, all of which are happening right now in my house:
A trusted handy-man who is hanging new blinds, fixing our suddenly-stopped garage door, and replacing a few outlets with smart outlets. A one day job that would take H a month.
A dear friend who just dropped off a few meals and a ton of muffins for the freezer.
A sweet mom who is flying in to shower DD1 with attention for the next two weeks.
