Hi ladies, I hope you all are doing well! I've been doing okay, getting a little better each day, moving on a little more each day. However, I've been dealing with early/false labor for three weeks now! It seems that every other day I'm going to see my OB or going to the hospital to be checked b/c of contractions 4 minutes apart. I haven't slept in three weeks, I'm up to my stress limit! So, today it started again. I went to see my OB and he took one look at me and saw how exhausted I was and agreed to induction tomorrow. I go in at 4am!!! So, on to the bad news....STBX will have to stay here with the boys while I'm in the hospital. His place isn't suitable for children, plus his roommate is a partier (have I mentioned he pays his rent with a bottle of liquor every two weeks???). I had a civil conversation about not having anyone over here while I am gone and he is responsible for the boys. It seems like this may be a problem. He's also not supposed to drink while he's got the boys, not a huge deal if he is seeing them for a couple of hours, but a couple of days on a holiday weekend is another story all together. I'm also afraid that having daddy at home with them will only be confusing, but I just cannot find another option.
I'm a little sad that I am once again going to give birth without a loving husband there with me. With #1 I was single, STBX was the father, and he was there, but not really 'there'. With #2 we were married, but he was a jerk during my labor. At one point I asked for his help through a contraction and he told me to hush, it wasn't that bad, he was trying to watch Sports Center. I have invited some female friends, and my mom will be there, so I'm sure it'll be okay.
Okay, I have tons to do!!!! I've got all the baby stuff ready, but I'd like to get a manicure and I need to make some muffins, I like to take them to the OB nurses :o)



Good luck honey!
Please let us know when you have the little one.
Hugs to you and the new baby :)

Congratulations! I hope you have a safe and easy delivery. You're better off and will get more support with your mom and friends in the delivery room.
Good luck!
Hugs, Brenda
Sweetie, I lurk a lot but rarely post anymore, but wanted to send lots of easy labor vibes to you as you are induced today. Hopefully, as I post this, everything is over and you're holding your precious little boy in your arms!
*hugs*

I'm a little late, but I hope everything went well.
