Cinss, that picture is great! Haha.

Still no teddy over here. Labor stopped completely. Going to go walking today, see if I can get it started again. I think yesterday's contractions probably brought me to a 4 so it will go quick once it gets going.

Isn't it funny how we are in a hurry to have a lot of pain and zero sleep?! I really am scared to go late though as I am vbac and the rupture risk increases with baby size. Doc finally agreed my due date is probably right since its more ovulation based. He said he trusts that over the early ultrasounds.

Argh. My husband promotes gigs and most often has the bands/musician crash at our house. When it was just us I was okay with it but with our son, I've been increasingly uncomfortable about it. All these people are not questionable or suspect, and are all very nice and aren't wild/crazy. It's merely the fact that I don't like using my home as a crash pad anymore. Now with Willow on the way, I've been more vocal about it (especially today as there is a musician from Austria staying who he says he told me about but I don't remember so wasn't anticipating the visitor) and it really pisses my husband off, like I'm being unreasonable?! Just... arghhhhh! (He runs a music website.. reviews music, puts on gigs, etc... so I think he perceives it as an attack on his 'hobby' but when it comes to my private space, I feel I'm entitled to having a say?!)

Anyway, just venting...

[Bimby]

Oh that would pi$$ me off too Gena. No way would I be letting people stay, especially once Willow arrives. You don't need to be dealing with that. I'd feel uncomfortable with strangers around me and my kids. I mean yeah I'm sure they're nice people but does your dh really know them?? I don't think you're being unreasonable at all.

Rosie I hope the walking helps hun

Like I told him, there is the odd one I've met many times who I'd be totally fine with but like... early into this pregnancy, the place he had set up for a band of six Italian musicians to stay at fell through at the last minute... so they ALL stayed at our tiny house... for two nights! They were all lovely and cooked for us, but it was chaos as our house is small... my son's room floor and living room floor was used as bed spaces so our son had to sleep with us... AND it was during my first trimester aka morning sickness. My son and I stayed trapped in my bedroom because I felt cramped and sick and it was a little stressful. Just... ehhhhh. Obviously something I'm going to have to keep talking to him about. I in no way want to get in the way of what he does but I've got to cross the line somewhere.

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

I agree!! You're a better woman than I am. I would've set my dh on fire in front of the band.

[suregena]

Hahah. The tough thing is these aren't bad people and I know it's cheaper for my hubbo to have them stay here then pay for their accommodation... but... priorities! We're a family household now... need my private spaccccccce!

[Bimby]

You totally need and deserve your private space, your DH needs to understand that. If he has to have them stay then he should put you and Otis up in a fancy hotel lol

[Cinss]

I have a similar situation coming up suregena... So i will have bubs in May, then DP's sister and her family are coming to stay for the Pink concert in July. She and her partner have 6 kids! so our 3 bedroom house will supposedly have to hold 12 people, thats if we dont have DP's 2 daughters staying too! I can't believe he offered to let them stay with us! I have never met them yet and as much as i would like to i just feel like i am going to have to go stay somewhere else while my house is over run by strangers with a 2 month old baby.

[Bimby]

Oh gosh I feel for you both, I just couldnt imagine having to deal with a newborn and a house full of people. I have cleaning ocd when people come over and would want to be cleaning up all the time and it just wouldnt be possible with a newbie..

Any news from MP, Rosie TT and any others??

YNWA sooooooooo close one more sleep yay!!
