My pregnant friends are stressing me out.

2.5 years after having Maddox, I've learned a lot that I wish I had known before he was born. And now I see and hear friends going about their births like OK DOC WHATEVER YOU SAY.. and I just want to grab them and shake them and tell them to wake up... BUT.. I can't. It's not my place to push it on them. Is it? Other than giving advice in the beginning, I don't think there is an easy way to say something like that. I can't be like YOU ARE MAKING A MISTAKE. :[


Friend's FB status: "We have redefined the term "mamas boy" when your doctor looks at you and says "I promise I won't let u go past 41 weeks" may not be a good sign...!"

To which I replied: "Why won't he let you go past 41 weeks?"

And she said: "It puts the baby at risk to go longer! Idk what the risks are but there are some! Maybe being too big??"

***FACEPALM***



Next, one of my close friends went into early labor last night. I was texting them frantically at 4am because I'm SO excited. She went to the hospital & they sent her back home because she wasn't ready yet. A few minutes ago... around 2pm.. I get a text from him saying: "We're on our way to the hospital now. Since her labor is so slow, they are going to induce her today."

:[ Ugh. It just makes me sad.


EDIT: I think I overreacted a little bit about that text because I was cranky about the other girl's FB status. I actually just started crying because I'm so excited for them.

about to pull my hair out.

Maddox HATES brushing his teeth. It is a battle EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. And it is driving me INSAAAAANE.

I've been looking around online and found a few ideas that are worth trying. Wish me luck. :[ There is not a whole lot that is as stressful as a toddler fighting something like brushing their teeth or EATING.. which Maddox also does. It is absolutely maddening. Like, YOU HAVE TO DO THIS DUDE. HAVE TO. OR ELSE I'M A BAD PARENT. COME ONNNNN.

I need a back massage. :[
