Just found out a major rollout is happening in my department while I'm on leave. I know I shouldn't care but my type A personality can't handle it! I don't trust my coworkers to roll it out for me....

Bees Everywhere

So we have an outer storm door on our front door and the wind caught it and bent the hinges so now it won't shut. I want to run to Lowe's for new hinges but I'm having a lot of unusual cramps right now and I'm paranoid about my water breaking in public. Maybe I'll trying hammering them back into shape- worked last time...

Anyone with a birthing ball, what size did you get? I got the 55cm because the guide on the back said that for my height that's the one I should have but it seems to small.

Mine is a 65 and comfy. I'm a short kid too- 5'4"

I was so MAD last night. Like I just wanted to be mean and grumpy... and then I remembered my DH saying his coworker said to beware if your wife gets really mean for 2 weeks....it means she going into labor. So I tried to be nice. I am NOT ready for this baby yet.

Just read the cervical check thread...I really hope the person who said, "you think that's bad...just you wait for labor"

no shit Sherlock. ugh. I HATE "just you wait"-- you effing wait! clearly the grumpy hasn't passed.

I would ideally start labor tonight, sleep on and off, then progress to full blown labor by 7am, baby by this time tomorrow. Let's do it.

I can understand that.  I may or may not be checking my phone multiple times a day to find out if my LB is in labor.  I don't want to miss it!

Yes to both.

I would do burgers, but only because I've eaten a lot of pasta the past week.

Be more specific about the pasta

TMI - my vag has been feeling super itchy/irritated the past 2 days and my discharge is darker. I have an OB appointment tomorrow and I'm hoping it's not a yeast infection. Has anybody gotten one this late? I can just picture my baby coming out covered in Monistat.

ETA: on second thought, it might not look that different than all the other gunk the baby will be covered with.

Hamburgers sound amazing right now and I say this on a full stomach. So I vote hamburgers!

I'm not gonna lie, glad my LB went first! Now I get to just check in on her and enjoy baby photos while I'm becoming less and less of a functioning person without worrying I will sleep through the event.

Yeeeaaaa I'm team hamburgers

Cheeseburgers! With pastaroni on the side. Omg why did I leave the store with hot dogs and Mac and cheese instead of cheeseburgers and pastaroni????? Grocery fail!

I am not a cat person, but that cat genie litterbox looks AMAZING! I want to buy one just to give as a gift!

So in a thread about baby cuteness and "will I think my baby is cute?etc" ...some one made a comment about "the doctors could've handed her a gremlin (the scary kind) and she would've loved it"....I think about that and STILL laugh....hahaha, while trying to find the comment, I found this:

An ode to all our little babies (gremlin or not!)

Surely there has to be a recipe for labor-inducing cake out there somewhere. Sniff it out, A14! Impatient utes need to know!

This recipe was devils food cake with a pudding packet, sour cream, and chocolate chips. What about that makes it a labor inducing cake, idk. But I made it, and it tastes great.

I bumped the induction recipes thread- it's on there guys!!!

I love the way Don Draper smokes a joint.. :x

i think its the endorphins  you get from chocolate overload

sking72

Well then I should have been in labor this entire pregnancy! And, at our career conference, our director made us all goody bags that were basically five chocolate bars. Ate all of them.

Is anyone else producing crazy amounts of colostrum? I have so much already. I think my body forgot that the baby hasn't arrived yet.

200+ posts missed since last night, but I'm caught up again! I had a very busy, but good weekend. We had a major shopping spree and target and BRU on Saturday, and then made some additional purchases on amazon. Then yesterday I washed baby clothes. Things are coming together now. I had my gbs at the dr today, and she checked me. That was not a comfortable experience, but baby girl is definitely head down

mrscrcalli

No colostrum
Mom fail?

Oh yes. And sometimes when I orgasm they squirt a bit. Good thing SO thinks it's hilarious.

This never happened to me with DD. In fact, I felt like I never produced enough. I've been using the milk savers for the last three weeks and I literally have 29 oz in the freezer. I feel like a freak.

I can totally understand, that would feel weird!  Are you enjoying your leave?

mrscrcalli said:

Lol no way! It never happened to me with my first. And I definitely feel like it's not normal to have as much as I do. I don't get what's up with my body.

mrscrcalli said:

Not at all.  I wasn't producing any colostrum before I had DS.  I ended up making a TON of milk, DS was EBF and we continued BFing until he was 2.  Clearly leaking before hand is not an indicator of things to come.

nikki912

My nips are pretty dry- no colostrum here either! Baby will get it out though, they are pretty amazing.

Twirple

Squee!  Just got an email from our local concert association.  The touring cast of Les Miserables is going to be here in October, ON MY BIRTHDAY!  I love this musical so much that right before DH and I got married, my Mom and I went to New York for 3 days, just to see this show!  I'm totally dragging DH.  Do you think it is too early to arrange for someone to take care of the kiddos for the night?  

Sorry for the totally NBR post, but if I ran, yelling, through the office right now, it would freak out my boss!

My colostrum isn't coming out on it's own, but I can pretty easily express some. 

I wonder if GC's will be pretty colors :P

I'm pretty sure it is rainbow like her god damn text.
