Yeh... I'm starting this thread at 4:45 in the morning AND?
My right boob. Where to begin. Cu doesn't like the right side as much as the left so there's that. It also just naturally makes more milk. So when he does eat on the right side, by the time he's latched, there's milk ALL OVER me, his face, his hands, my hands, and my freaking bra. And yeh, I'm the effing twat that only bought one nursing bra "to see how it fit after my milk came in"... eyeroll... So now I am laying here in a soaked nursing bra until Cu falls asleep then I have to start a load of laundry!
Effff ef eff efff.

Re: BM Monday
I had the most ridiculous rehearsal of my life yesterday. I'm choreographing my church's community production of The Wizard of Oz. I wrangled and instructed 25 munchkins, kids in grades 1-7. I also had to run the dance numbers during scenes. People who weren't on stage kept grabbing me in the middle to ask choreography questions. So I'm 39 weeks 2 days pregnant, running all over the church,dancing an answering questions. And people keep telling me I'm totally about to go into labor. OMG shut up. If I look uncomfortable to you, it's because I'm pregnant as hell and you keep asking me dumb ass questions and making me run all over the place. Of course i'm uncomfortable. everything between my knees and shoulders hurts!
I am so ready to be done, I'm sitting here eating a whole pineapple. Get this kid out of me. Please?
Rachael- could you pump the side he doesnt like while feeding him?
I have been up since 3am. I am so ready for a nap-- for either of us.
I am in some pain and thinking about seeing if I can get into the Dr. However, I have no idea if it is poop pains or my ute is inflamed (can that happen?) It is all crampy and hurts if you touch my lower belly.
One handed typing sucks.

I have to go to the maternal fetal medicine specialist this afternoon so they can look at my sugar levels, nst results and growth scan to determine if they prefer to induce this week or let me go until 39 weeks as planned (next week - so only 1 week difference really). If they say they want to induce, I have to have an amnio first. Ugh. I avoided the amnio when I did genetics testing because I am deathly afraid of having a needle through my abdomen and now, here I am possibly stuck having one anyway.
They aren't even going to do the amnio today. They will schedule it for tomorrow. So I have to sit around all night tonight and freak out about it and then likely get no sleep from being so anxious.
This. Minus the 3:30 part.
Even though I am quite happy to have my LO go past his due date to give me more time at work, I'm getting a little frustrated that he seems not to want to come out EVER. Last Wednesday, I was leaky, so I went to the OB to be checked. Turns out, I had peed myself and there was no amniotic fluid leaking. Which, of course, is good. However, finding out that with only 6 days until my EDD I was absolutely, positively not dialated was a wee bit frustrating, especially when the doctor started talking about induction. I have a bad feeling that if I go over my due date, they will push me for one because of the holiday, and I really do not want that.
So this weekend, I stayed nice and active. I worked a large breakfast on Saturday, went outlet shopping with SO, walked around the mall, put some furniture together. Then on Sunday, I went with him to help unload some Sandy relief supplies (7 buses-yay!), went out to lunch, went home and did 8 loads of laundry and cleaned. So this morning, I went to the doctor and expected to be a little bit more progressed, right? Wrong. Still 0. UGH.
It's really cold outside. The thermometer on my sliding glass door says 15 degrees. I don't want to leave my house today. Part of me wants to quit my job because of it (which is really extreme and not going to happen). I'm daydreaming about it as I sip my apple juice and stare out and the ice covered environment outside. "Hi boss, it's too cold to work today. I quit."
Also, in less than a week, my MIL will arrive. She's staying with us until mid-December. I love her and I'm looking forward to her visit, but I'm not ready to have a semi-permanent house guest. It means I need to go grocery shopping sometime this week. Waddling around the grocery store and putting away groceries sounds awful.
This. And my induction is scheduled for tomorrow. I'm less than excited.
If it stays high they're talking about "getting things moving" as the dr said. I'll see what she says at todays appointment..
I don't WANT to be induced but I feel like at this rate it's going to happen anyway as they won't let me go past my edd and I'm so sick of going to the Dr every 2 days to be monitored!! Lets do this already!!
Oh and PP, that sounds more like pelvis symphisis than lightening crotch. I have that too and it's horrible. I want to seduce DH to get the labour party started but am terrified of the pain it will cause. Argh!!
Tell her to talk to you in 25 weeks. Facepunch!!! People kept telling me yesterday how miserable I looked and how I would be fine and to go home and scrub my floors and other stupid crap. Then my stepmom called and I wanted to just be like "NO I DIDN'T HAVE HIM YET"... but she was like "Hi how are you feeling? I just wanted to know if you needed anything or if there was anything i could do to help you out. I remember when i was where you are and it's just the worst." Everything bad I ever said about my stepmother? Yeah, I take every single word of it back. She is officially the best ever.
She gets the gold star today!
I have several coworkers in other departments who keep telling me to take the time off now for myself. That is all nice and good, except two things. 1. I have a ton of clients to meet with this week. If I don't get them to commit for next year early, someone else may get them while I am on ML, and without that revenue coming in, nosy coworkers may see their hours cut. 2. I am not eligible for FMLA due to the size of my location and earnings. I was lucky enough to get 8 weeks off, but that 8 weeks is it unless something goes wrong. I want to spend as much as possible with my little man.
On a positive note, though, my younger brother needs money to pay fraternity dues next semester. I told him if he watches LO for the two weeks between when I go back to work and when daycare will take him (Feb 1 or 10 weeks), I will pay his dues for him and give him some book money. Crisis averted, WITHOUT my MIL moving in with us.
Anytime I have any kind of symptom (runny nose, headache, sore back) everyone tells me it's because "labor is coming!!"
No, no it's not. It's a headache.
This.
And I'm STILL pregnant and it makes me furious. Yes. Furious.
And labor isn't coming because apparently none of my children will ever come out on their own without medical force.....induction is scheduled for Thursday and I'm angry. Ugh....
OMG, seriously? She's got a LONG 27 weeks to go if she's already "uncomfortable".
This.
This except its my left boob. Also I am an over producer and I get engorged so quickly and it hurts! I take a burp cloth and tuck it under my boobs as soon as I undo my bra and this helps keep things from getting milk soaked most of the time.
Not sure if this might help, but if LO has trouble on one side, you could try a different position. I had to do that with DS. I'd do the crossover hold for him to feed on the left, but the football hold to feed on the right. It was the only thing that worked for us... worth a shot, maybe.

I wish they wouldnt. I know my little girl will get here when she wants to, but at least let me get to my due date before predicting she will be late.
Went to the Dr today for 39 week check up. My Dr had a medial student with her and they asked if it would be ok she interviewed me and then my regular dr would come back in. I was fine with it but she asked a MILLION questions,most of which the doctor and I had already covered at our other appointments, kept repeating herself, and just generally took forever! One of the things that bugged me the most was she literally asked me 3 times if we have carseat. All I could think was I'm having a baby in about a week, if I don't have a carseat by now I'm screwed. When the doc came in she did an internal cervical check that was the most painful thing I have ever endured!! She was sure my cervix was at 3cm so she basically stretched me from a 2 to a 3 and I have been spotting since the appointment. She also offered to sweep my membranes but based on how uncomfortable the last cervical check was I'm not sure I could handle that.
