Made hubs give me a gas x pill and he downloaded an app to track contractions. Been in a good amount of pain all day off and on. According to the app they are on average 8-11 minutes apart , mild and moderate, and 30 seconds long on average.
My abdomen and lower back feel like Ive been kicked repeatedly. And a lot of the pains are sharp like gas so ...hence I took a gas x. Just in case...
No bloody show or mucus or anything.
Just miserable. He's letting me take the lead on deciding whether we go or not to get checked out.
I'm fine in between and rational and know this is not the time and it will be OK.
During I kinda wanna cry and can't breathe well and want them to make it stop.
So it's hit or miss. Playing it by ear. If they get stronger I'll go. Right now it's bearable so IMO not true labor. Hubs isn't so sure because my pain threshold for contractions is actually quite high.
Guess we will see.

Lol I'm sore. And very tired. They just aren't close enough to warrant a hospital visit yet. Hubs says I'm being stubborn because I apparently look like hell. But. I think I'd know. It's just a false labor spell. I'm sure I'll have more. If they regulate I'll go in. Just ...no consistency yet.

Slowed down over night. Still having a few an hour but not as intense. Not much sleep.
I had a sneezing fit around 2 am that had me sobbing.
Does that sound ridiculous? My abdomen and back are so sore at this point sneezing made me cry.
This is all very frustrating.

Ugh, that's awful. Hang in there, mama bear. This is all just part of Mother Nature's diabolical plan to convince pregnant women that life will be easier AFTER the baby is born.
Although, in your case, it might actually be true....
Hugs!!!

Thanks love. I'm OK. I apologized about six million times to L for "being a baby" about it. He told me he knows me well enough to know when I need attention and when I'm legit hurting. And if I don't sit my ass on a couch today and watch bad TV he's dragging me to a hospital whether I like it or not because it's the latter.
I'm trying to be tough. As he put it "growing humans is hard baby. And you're not a big person. Little muscles and little joints can only take so much pressure. Please... take it easy."
He's being sweet and trying to keep the kids out of my hair when he's home. I'm just very impatient. Sitting still is incredibly difficult for me.

As stupid as this sounds... in feel like because I have had so many I have no excuse to use pain and discomfort as a reason to shirk what I consider my responsibility. This is just part of it to me...

Glad you're doing okay. Sometimes sitting back and relaxing is the best way to deal with everything. Hang in there, kiddo! You're almost done.  |

4 weeks and 2 hours left. I got up off my ass and got moving today because sitting around all day yesterday just left me feeling gross and achey. Lol if I move...I feel better. already have the bathroom scrubbed and am about to tackle the rest of the chores I didn't do yesterday because ... obviously no one else is going to.
as I explained to my worry wart husband at 3 am before he went to work... I'll be fine. I'm gonna hurt. I'm gonna be tired here and there. But I'd simply rather be hurting and tired in a clean house with my errands and to do list knocked down than sitting in everyone's laundry.
He gets it. Just is concerned that with my back issues I'm gonna do the exact opposite of what the doc wants and send myself into early labor because I won't sit still.
I take plenty of breaks. The parade after a ridiculously busy week was just overkill. Happens to everyone.
Now I have to gear up to finish a commissioned wreath in the next three days, finish the babies wreath, and get two house projects organized while prepping for the girl's class parties this week. Since I don't see the stay at home pregnant mommy fairy anywhere volunteering to handle my shit it's time to cowgirl up. That simple.

I'm tired today. Like... to my bones just... fucking exhausted. p hung out in her room or on the couch in her jammies all day. I swept a floor a restarted a load of laundry and felt accomplished.
Hubs will home in less than an hour and I'm too tired to refill my water glass much less cook something.
I hurt ribs to hips. Kids are hopped up on Valentine's candy from school and literally beating on each other in the driveway over Rollerblades. And I don't care.
Where did my energy go?

I just told them that if they didn't have broken bones, or were bleeding to death, I didn't wanna hear it.
I had no idea how siblings function. I'm an only. I hated (still do, actually) not having a brother or sister. I didn't have any idea what was normal sibling behavior. I thought they were insane little people who didn't appreciate one another.
It's been explained to me since then that it's perfectly normal for an older sister to get down on her knees and beg, "Just once. PLEASE!?! I just want to hit him one time, really hard. That's it. ONCE."
Wow. That was a long time ago. 12 years?!?? Holy FSM. My little Yiyi (Amara couldn't say Eli, that's what she called him) is one month away from 17.
I'm really tired all of a sudden.

They've been arguing since they got up.
I flat out just informed my seven year old that if I were G and P I'd have punched her bossy teeth straight out of her head by now. And if she doubted that to ask Aunt Amanda how her tooth got chipped. (I chunked a softball at her face)
Told G if I were her sisters I'd drag her lazy ass around by her hair.
And told P that while Adorable... wiping her piggy bank down repeatedly with a clorox wipe isn't EXACTLY helping clean their room...
