Hey! 900 pages! Sweet!

My mom is like all those other entitled grand parents. We haven't quite had the talk yet but if she gives me the impression that she's gonna do as she pleases while my baby is in the nursery she WILL be put on a no visit list. My mother is such a drama queen she'll probably blow shit out of proportion anyway. Luckily my bf is not affraid to stand up to my mother so I won't even have to worry about that.

Just got a call from the OB, tested positive for GBS. So much for being IV free during delivery but as long as DS is healthy that's all that matters.

@mammonzo I showed DH a picture of Lucas and he said "That's one f'ing cute baby." This is coming from someone who has says all newborns are ugly.

Someone mentioned the other day just getting a heplock instead, if you're just using it for the antibiotics. I've had heplocks before. I was even able to play a concert with one in my arm :-) No IV pole to drag around with you. So, while you still have to have the whole needle deal, I think its a good thing to ask about!

How have I never seen Archer until last night? This show is funny as hell!

DH loves it. I can't stand it.

What? Why?

Not really sure. I tried to like it, but just can't.

He also loves It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Workaholics. On a good day, those are "meh" to me. Just not my style I guess.

I feel like I should move to England sometimes. Brit humor is where it's at. British TV in general, actually. 

Are we twins?? Highfive!!

(except I agree Archer, while eyeroll-worthy at times, is still pretty funny. Same w/the other shows. Doesn't mean that I have any interest in watching them though.)

Luckily our hospital only allows baby daddy to stay overnight

Ours allows as many people as you want and doesn't have regular visiting hours-people can come and go all night. 


Where do you live?? That sounds so awful!
I can have up to four people in the delivery room but not over nighters. There are also visiting hours an no one is allowed to just be in the halls of the family area. You have to be coming, leaving, or in a room. No waiting area.

Umm so the procrastinator in me is left taking the labor and delivery tour 2 weeks before my EDD. Now my other two kiddos did not come early so that would have been completely fine, but I feel as though I set myself up to go into labor early.

They don't give tours here. They have video tours you can watch. I was up on that floor yesterday visiting an anesthesiologist making sure I could have an epidural, if needed, because of nerve damage. The L&D section is locked up like Fort Knox! In fact, if you call the hospital and ask if I'm in it, and I'm in L&D, they refuse to tell you (but, if I was on a regular floor, they would tell you.) Its the only place like that in the hospital. I found that a bit weird.

@kseccomb17‌ many hugs and T&P to you and your DH.

@thomas930 did they call you back to set it up or did you have to make another dreaded phone call? My hospital tour was pretty useless. I won't be doing it again with Subsequent babies even if we are at a different hospital.

kseccomb17

@aronie82‌ good luck! Thoughts and prayers for a healthy and smooth delivery!

thomas930

@sking72‌

thomas930

@snmetz7 They called me back  

This is the first one we've done but we've never used this hospital before...really DH just wants to know where everything is so that we aren't running around when we get there. 

@aronie82 Good luck! You got this!!

eireyes

@kseccomb17 ((hugs)) to you and your DH

@chichi589 Hooray!! I wish tantrums were more socially acceptable for adults from time to time for this very reason

@aronie82 GO MAMA!!! Keep us posted, and FX for a smooth delivery!

Edited because HOLY CRAP PEOPLE DUE AFTER ME ARE HAVING BEHBEHS!!! 

:-O

@kseccomb17‌ I'm so sorry. Thinking of you today, and sending prayers for peace for you and your husband.

katieharpiceland

@aronie82 OMG!!!! Good luck!!

KatieGummow

I realized I am not witty or interesting enough for RTT but I still stalk you ladies like not other.

T&P for you all @kseccomb17‌. I will be thinking about you.

@3crazykitties‌ sorry to hear! How frustrating.

snmetz7

I just realized that my comment about my step mother could be offensive to step mothers here. I just wanted to clarify she did not marry my dad until u was 20 so she is not a real mother figure in my life.

Bluebird2318

@aronie82 FX for a smooth delivery! 

kseccomb17

Thanks everyone. I just got the word that she passed this morning. Three people in 5 days is a lot to bare.

JessieAlbin

@aronie82‌ all the healthy baby/mama vibes to you!! You are gonna do great!

We have a funeral to attend today. I can't begin to prepare to see DH cry. His friend in the car accident was buried yesterday and he could only choose to go to one because of work. I know he's harboring guilt. Last night, one of the girls we grew up with was found unconscious. She's been battling cancer for 6 years. Her future looks grim, but she made it through the night, which was unexpected. I'm such a downer today, sorry guys. I just needed to get that out.

*Hugs* Sorry today is a suck ass day for you. Cry, breathe, let it all out. xoxo

WHAT?!  I love your humor.  Bring yourself back to RTT.   Is your mama still in town?


@poru‌ you're sweet. She is! Until Saturday. . She cleans my house every day and makes me grilled cheese sandwiches at 10 at night. How do I convince her to move in? I will totally be more active once she leaves!

Being induced. Water broke.

Another outsider?!  :-SS. The logical side of my brain says I should start getting things ready. The procrastinator side says nah, you're good. 

Procrastinator is winning. 

T&P's that all goes well!!!!!

@aronie82‌ seriously? Congratulations! FX!!!

@fourthnlast‌ thanks, love. Seriously though you ladies are incredible.

edoliesmom

@olenkapdx‌ I can 100% relate! I'm a size 10 wide and usually have to go up to 11 when buying dress shoes. I got a pair of really cute, simple flats from Payless for $17! They're the American Eagle brand, and I got them in size 11. So comfy.

@aronie82‌ Good luck!! Can't wait to hear an update! Sending prayers your way!

Stace0616

@kseccomb17‌ - Hang in there! Lots of thoughts and prayers for you and your family. What a rough week

Emily041285

An hour and a half into a two day work meeting and I am so uncomfortable I want to cry. Why didn't I take my dr up on his offer to write me a note to get out of this?!?! :-S

On entitled grandparents, I had the talk with my mom and it went well. Grandparents can be there during early labor (probably at the house) and camp out during active labor and visit for a short time after LO is here.

What has been bothering me about my mom is she really, really, really wants LO to be a preemie like I was. She wants us to have as close to the same birth experience as possible, hers was terrible by the way. She even got offended when I said I was going to do this med free because she used meds and ended up in a C-section. It drives me insane, I never in anyway insinuated her delivery was any less of a birth. My mom is loco...

Um...wants a preemie? JFC my mom is praying that I make it past when she delivered me (mid 32 weeks, which basically means today) because she hated the NICU and all of the IVs.
