I'm glad you were able to find some peace in talking to him :3
I think a dog is a good idea. They're really good at cheering people up and going on walks is good for both of you.
I wish you the best of luck 8u/

Sounds like a good plan, mem!
By some universe coincidence, J just did that thing again yesterday 
It's because I was really upset and tired and in pain the other day and he freaked out and had a panic attack about it, and I had to end up looking after him, and some days later when we had cooled down from it all I tried to talk about how that made me feel - like I couldn't get support or couldn't even be upset/emotional right now because he would just instantly freak out and take all the attention which ultimately stressed me out and wore me out even more.
And yesterday he was being kind of weird and I tried to ask him why and he basically said he didn't want to stress me out. So, he missed the whole point of the discussion the other day... I wasn't trying to say I didn't want him ever to admit that he was upset or stressed out. Just saying that there are times when I need support as well :/ he says he gets it now, but we'll see. I tried to explain everything again but sometimes he says he understands something when he really doesn't, just to not admit that he doesn't understand.

Back again, had to read back quite a bit...
@ Mem: Yeah, that stinks. I understand why you cannot go right away. In that case, do use technology, babies are still super patient and still super adorable in front of a screen. :)
Then there was a lot of baby talk, epidurals sounds aweful, just like C sections. Remember that someone else's baby is super different, I've never gooed above any baby and still don't. I do love my own. Hormones are awesome, the best pain killer available. I had one baby at home, accidentally, but even that one came out and was the least painful imho. Never had c-section, I did share a room with ladies who got that procedure, after I gave birth at home, the accident and I was walking around the next day, while they were in quite a bad shape. It's great there are options and that docs are there to help if needed, but bodies are quite capable of doing weird things. Like, hormones, it's a natural pain killer and makes you forget everything quite soon afterwards. Or maybe that's baby love? Dunno why else I did it 3 times. Thinking about it in a sober way = no good. Wait for the hormones. :)
And sorry to hear about the depression. No idea what to do about that, a dog might work out, but I have no idea. Cannot give you advice there, just wish you all the best and look after yourself. Search for help if needed.
<3 Sending love your way. <3

Adrenaline plays a big part, huh? 8u
I find it really interesting the things people can do and overcome because of adrenaline.
I remember this dancing competition show where a dancer actually tore off her toenail while dancing and didn't realize it until after she stopped dancing.
I've actually tried to think of times where I did something because of adrenaline but I couldn't think of much...
I know when I was a kid, I was running straight but my foot got wedged between cement and while I landed on my back - my foot was still facing forward.
I was so used to falling that I tried to stand up but I couldn't - my leg collapsed under me and I fell back down.
I thought I had broken my leg but I don't remember feeling much pain until I got home and my ankle like...popped back into place ._.
I shed a few tears because it hurt xD
I hope all of you are okay and I really wish you the best with what you're all struggling with -hugs- \8u/

-hugs Mem- 8u
One of these days I'm going to type Meme and not notice it xD;
Then everyone's going to say "Haha Moi typed MEME xD"
The baby's gotta be fully baked before he comes out 8u/
I mean...you should be lying on the sofa like and upside down turtle xD
I'm sorry you're so uncomfortable, though >< -hugs-

@jacob: Baby boy is probably too cosy in mama's belly to be planning an early escape
@Moi: If you ever do type "Meme", I'll throw a confetti rain just for you

It would be a late escape already, he was due last Thursday And that's even with their estimate, which has always bothered me because my maths based on when we were trying to conceive would suggest he was actually due a week earlier. My midwife even admitted the due date can be up to two weeks wrong, so.
Two days left until my first sweep, I'm not looking forward to it now because J can't get the time off work to take me 
I have to get a lift with his parents, which is going to be super awkward. Like... right after I will probably end up with some bleeding and it will definitely be uncomfortable down there, and then I have to go make small talk with my father in law :X aaghhhh. I just hope it's worth it and it works.
