My son just projectile vomited all over a restaurant (and me). As we were attempting to clean up, he did it again. We immediately left and he threw up again outside. And I felt horrible because I am still nauseated and throw up at the drop of a hat, so as soon as I'd get near him to hug and help clean, I'd start gagging and have to back away before I threw up. It was like a comedy of errors. Thank goodness for my mom, who we are with. She totally saved the day and was able to take care of things while I poured water all over all of us.
Did I mention we had just started a 2.5-hour drive home? Send good thoughts. And maybe lots of paper towels and some spare clothes.
Oh krystee, I'm so sorry! Is this where I confess that this is the one thing I am petrified of when becomming a parent?!
I could have sworn I felt baby move earlier this week. I wish I would feel something that I knew for sure was baby, and I said as much to my SIL who is 17 weeks ahead of me. She told me to be careful what I wished for. Apparently my nephew keeps her up at night...
I feel like I over did it. MIL was here doing yard work so I feel like I had to be productive the whole time too (even though I know that's not really true). Except she was doing the work all weird and inefficient so she's coming back tomorrow
Only I realized I ate from a salad bar tonight and I don't think pregnant women are supposed to do that, but I refuse to google to find out exactly why since it is too late to do anything about it. The baby will be okay, right?

I cannot believe I'm letting a cold knock me out like this. I am so miserable. My husband is amazing. I've been on my own all week, but now that he's home he took our son allllll day so I could rest. (His new job isn't quite 40 hours a week, and a lot less money, so he's been dogsitting and stuff for people to make up some of the difference- so crazy extra work all week, never being home, and did all the parenting and errands today!!!!) I'm hoping I can rest a little more tomorrow, but I also have some stuff to do for work that would be nice to do while the kid isn't underfoot
I bought one of those target nightgowns a bunch of you were talking about a few weeks ago. I never took it off today. It is so comfortable!!
Since I've been resting today, I've been binge watching call the midwife- which may have been a terrible plan? Is it making me very glad for modern medicine or petrified of things going wrong?!?
And in great news-- after weeks of fighting with it, my Medicaid is approved and I have the insurance cards for it and everything. My old insurance ends next week so it is such a relief to have something else in place!!! And it covers the screens my midwife wants next week, which my old insurance doesn't. So that will be nice!

I have eaten from the Whole Foods salad bar allllll pregnancy. Pretty sure I wouldn't have eaten from weeks 13 to 17 without it.
If you get sick, seek medical attention immediately, but otherwise, don't worry.
I am so so jealous of this weeks baby boom. Even though I know mine will be here soon (I hope!), a week of prodromal labor has me extremely frustrated. And I'm having a bit of pregnancy rage at my husband.

My understanding is that there can be a risk of listeria. Nowadays this risk seems ever present, so I'm pretty meh about it.
We went out to eat today for lunch, it was billed as a Spanish food festival, and they had advertised paella and churros as the main attractions. It was meh - I was totally unimpressed and needed to come home and eat a Lindt chocolate(s) and an apple to feel satisfied.
I've been up since 3:30. I was still only at 1 when I was checked 2 hours ago. My OB couldn't even get a foley bulb in. So we're just waiting on Cytotec to do its thing. I'm hungry, but I am not allowed to eat. I'm exhausted but can't fall asleep. And I suspect labor is going to be a minimum of 24 hours. FUCK ME. I am cranky AF.
(((@angryharpy))). That is the worst. Can your H sneak you some snacks? Part of my epic meltdown mid-induction was from lack of food. I'm planning to take my own snacks this time. Hangry Lucy is a nightmare.
We're meeting with our doula today. Meeting is loose, as she is a friend working on her certification and we know we're going to have her present during birth. We already know and adore her. H and I had to fill out the questionnaire and it was kind of cathartic to write out DD's birth story. Its good, but brought out some feels about labor and delivery.

Thinking lots of good thoughts for you @angryharpy. I hope the Cytotec works wonders for you. My cervix was in the same state as yours on Monday so the foley bulb was taken off the table. And since I had a previous c/s, Cytotec was a no go too. That's how I ended up with the RCS. While not my first choice, it wasn't terrible and I'm feeling pretty good at 4 days post-op. I truly hope you avoid the same fate but if for some reason it comes to that, know that it's not too awful.
Maybe TMI, but definitely random: all my IV tubes are connected to my right hand and it's sort of bulky. That means today, at 36 years old, I am learning to use my left hand to operate toilet paper for the first time.

On a related note, I got round ligament pain wiping today 😢
@angryharpy I am glad you got to eat. Hopefully things progress quickly for you!
We just got home from a week in Maui and I am so sad. We had a blast and I only threw up a couple times (though those couple times caused an ear infection. So. Gross.) We also took pictures with ds to announce this pregnancy and we got a funny one of him glaring at the onesies we got. I'm excited to announce after my ultrasound on Monday.

LOL. As I predicted, that will not be happening. Dose 1 of cytotec has caused some contractions that I can't even feel, but my cervix has made zero progress. Still at a 1 and not effaced. I've already been at the hospital for 7.5 hours. This is going to take forever, and it is exactly why I didn't want to be induced. This baby isn't ready to come, plain and simple. And the real punch to the gut is that they wanted to induce for hypertension - except my last 2 BP readings have been 102/49 and 113/67. I am so dejected and miserable.

I'm sorry. Given the circumstances, would they consider letting you go home and trying again later? With my induction and zero progress, I got the impression it would have been an option if I wasn't already 41+ weeks.

I'm sorry @angryharpy, I hope things pick up soon.
My induction took forever. I'd recommend that you take a sleeping pill tonight if you still haven't made much progress. I took Ambien the first night at least. Also, the L&D beds are definitely not made for hanging out in but at my hospital the eventually offered me an egg crate to put on top and it was amazing. So ask if they have something to cushion the bed of it looks like you will be tied down for a while (which you will be when/if they start pitocin).

Nope. I did ask about something for sleep, so the nurse is going to see what we can do to go with my next dose of cytotec. I just managed to get a little nap in, but you know how these beds are. After less than an hour, I woke up from hip pain. I still feel zero contractions and fully expect to have made no progress at mg next check. All along, my dread has been that my body wouldn't be ready and I'd wind up with a c-section. So far, everything I predicted would (or more accurately, wouldn't) happen, has gone as I predicted. So to say I'm not feeling optimistic is an understatement.
@angryharpy I'm so sorry things aren't progressing faster. My induction with DS went similarly, it was like 18 hrs on cytotec and pitocin before I made it beyond 1cm. I hope your baby/body isn't as stubborn. Thinking of you!

Considering I've been here for almost 10 hours, I suspect it is. I feel like I can't get out of this negative mindset because I'm over here thinking, I TOLD YOU ASSHOLES THIS WOULD HAPPEN! And I'm just so fucking uncomfortable here.

We have spend the weekend at the pool and beach and I am so exhausted now. Keeping up with a 3.5 year old around water is tiring.
I bought a new curling wand to try a curly style on my hair. I can't tell if I like the look of not.
I had plans this weekend to start clearing the spare room to start the process or moving DS1 to his big boy room. Never happened. We did pick paint, but that's about it.
