My doctor wants to induce on the 6th (at 39 weeks) because my baby is so freaking huge. I'm scared. I know it will be fine. But I just want her to come on her own. I feel like a pouty child stomping her feet. Arghhhh.

Bernadine - Pimm's Cup is one of my favorite summer drinks. I'm sad because I won't get any this year.

Mine too!! My husband will make them for me. :-)

I got a hug from a coworker this morning. I still fucking smell like her. Holy shit, it was 2 hours ago!

Dare I ask what she smells like?

I think I'm going to go window shop over my lunch break.  I need to get out of the office.

@imback I had carpet beetles in my van last year!


I used a spray/killer diligently underneath the seats and kept it very clean and vaccumed every few days for about 6 months and they cleared out.

I have been trying to keep everything very clean, but spray is probably needed to eradicate these bugs.  They seem to really like it here, lol.

It's my anniversary today!

Work has been crazy for my husband so we're grilling steaks and sharing some cake with our kids tonight. We'll find time for a date night to celebrate just us. 9 years has passed very quickly!

We took our daughter to see her first musical last night (she stayed up very late on a school night... oops!) and she loved it! She was so quiet the whole time and behaved herself better than the adults sitting behind us who may have been under the impression it was their job to narrate the play. So annoying! But the play was funny and we had a blast

I'm at the vet for the second time this week with my doxie. They think she has a kidney infection

[latte]

We accepted an offer to buy our house yesterday, for over asking and they accepted our closing date. I had told our realtor we would accept a few thousand less if they would accepted out date, so to have them not change their offer price, I am so happy! Less exciting, MH is supposed to be away at a conference when we are supposed to get the keys to our new house. I don't want to do it alone. It will not be as exciting.

[latte]

compassrose I hope they can have her feeling better soon!

Dolly Parton tickets go on sale at 10am and I'm waiting for my dad to text me that he wants to go. Gah. He needs to get back to me.

Otherwise, I'm grading papers. Endless stacks of papers. Why, in 11 years of teaching, have I not figured out how to stagger my due dates among classes? Gah.

Seriously. I'm always spending a whole day giving exams. Then I'm all talking-deprived and I feel bad for my family

[frkls]

is there an antidepressant that doesn't take forever to kick in? like, if i called my PCP and tell her that i need something that will work NOW? does that exist?

[youhadmycuriosity]

On Sunday I talked to my SIL on the phone (she had asked me to call her because she had questions about retirement accounts). A little ways into our call, she said she had to go because her mother was calling on the other line... my husband was talking to their mom as I spoke with her- womp womp.

It's fine- I often use a hasty excuse to get off the phone when conversations drag or I'm eager to decompress, and all told my SIL and I don't have too much to talk about since we haven't gotten to spend too much time together, but I'll admit it stung a little in the moment. USE A LESS TRACEABLE LIE. Or an honest "hey, it's the end of the weekend so I'm gonna go watch TV, thanks for the chat" would have been just fine.

Yes, I realize this is stupid.

Congrats!!!! And I was in a similar situation as the second part of your post- I chose to smugly tell H I was THE KEEPER OF THE KEYS and poke at him telling him if he's not nice he will be locked out- it didn't make me feel entirely better, but it helped

Do you have GD? I was to be induced due to that but went into labor on my own at 38 wks and some change.

I have another friend who is 6' tall and her daughter was a big baby, born vaginally and not induced, and is planning to do the same with her second.

The bigger worry, many times, is the size oi their shoulders.

No GD, just a big ol' baby. I'm really hoping to go into labor on my own, but so far have not progressed at all.

I learned an important life lesson.

If you plan on eating too many treats after dinner, do not decide that all the treats eaten are from the Fiber One brand. You will be miserable the next day and wishing you never had to leave the bathroom.

I am so tired this week. Between not sleeping and having to rearrange my schedule for dental appointments, preschool dropoff, dance classes, and early closing at daycare, I've been coming in super early this week and staying later. I fell asleep last night at about 8 and didn't wake up until 6:15 when my issue from my first random kicked in. I fell asleep in my contacts, so that was fun having to peel them off my eyes this morning.

Can you decline the induction? If you aren't comfortable with the plan tell them.

I was told Myles would be over 8lbs and 23 inches. He came two days later at 7.2 pounds and 19 inches.

[malibu]

I agree with themysteriouswife. I was told Kayla would be over 10 pounds. She ended up 8 lbs 11 oz. I did get induced (for other reasons) and ended up with a C-section because I "don't have good birthing hips".
