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.

I wish mine was rainbow. :-/

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!

That's awesome! I hope you find someone to watch them.

My breast pump just came and the sent me a complimentary bag with cooler, the ice packs, and 2 extra bottles! Thanks UHC! Lol... I sure did just try it. It was weird and colostrum came out. So weird.

Be careful. Pumping ahead of time can kick start labor!

Yessss, you sound like me and my mom!  We went to NYC for Christmas a few years ago and saw 7 shows.  We went this past labor day and caught 4.  I'm obsessed with musicals!

Felt a little leakage down below after taking a walk to get the mail/pay rent. I want to check for coloring indicative of labor... But I'm afraid I'll be disappointed. Realllllly wanting a 4/1/14 baby!!!

embear22 said:

@sismama10 really!? Ill take it. I am having cramping now and thought that may have been a bad idea haha..

@twirple I got the medela from byrum. The order was placed 30days before due date and shipped to me in 5.

Yeah nipple stimulation can bring on intense contractions and kick start labor! The sucking sensation of the pump can cause really strong cramps/contractions!

GlennCoCo... Has time to type out her announcement in rainbow vomit. Not enough time to upload a picture of her nice babi.

I have a theory that she types normally just like we do, but the magical rainbow colors just spring forth automatically. Either way, she better make good on that picture promise or I'm gonna chase her off my A14 lawn.

WWA14 do? Pasta or burgers for dinner?

Oh what I wouldn't give for a giant bowl of pasta. Buttered noodles would be just fine. I can't wait to not be a diabetic anymore!

So my doc appt didn't go QUITE how I'd planned--got sent to the hospital after a quick cervix check and swab because my blood pressure was 156/110.  Doctor was afraid we were looking at pre-e, but a few hours, 4 vials of blood, and a 10/10 NST later, I got to go home.  BP dropped down to 100/59 and James looked awesome but a little toooooo comfy in there.  According to my doctor "there's no activity happening down there" aka in my cervix. 

Doesn't really matter I guess since he is still breech and has pretty much run out of room to turn this late in the game.  So I'm back home, and it's business as usual until our appointment next week.  Depending on how things look, he thinks either next weekend or the following will be c-section time.  I'm just impatiently waiting for a date here, buddy!

So am I.  We went there to see Les Mis, but we also saw Chicago and Spamalot!  One show every night.  It was an awesome trip.

So my LB had her baby, still ticked I didn't get to play. :-w

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!

I definitely will tell you!!! Sitting at MW odfice atm for appt. Feels weird coming into work when not working!

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

Yep though its only my second day... I had a lot of comments from co-workers about being there again, because I went in yesterday for a Powhiri (welcome ceremony) for my Locum, and then again today for MW appt - so dont actually feel like I've had a day away yet!! haha

My MW has told me I HAVE to rest with my feet up. they are getting pretty big in the morning as well, and not just my feet. No protein and BP is perfect so not really worried, but she stressed to me that I must rest! Guess who will be doing dinner tonight! Love it when its Drs (or MW) orders. 

Also, I'm 38 weeks and sesame still hasn't dropped! Everyone is surprised about that as I'm a FTM. She is in by about 0.5cm and has been for about 3 weeks now. Explains why the heartburn is still bad! Again MW wasn't worried, but starting to sound a bit concerned if that makes sense...

So jealous!!! Love musicals but there is no way DH would go! We did go to the Lion King and Les Miserables when we went to London - but you have to do that. Would never get him to anything else though - built in babysitter!! hehe. 

Wish I could to something like this, but to go to NYC (or even Chicago!) for shows is a bit far for a weekend :P

Yeah for DH cooking!  I hope he cooks up something delicious!

Sorry to hear that she hasn't dropped yet.  That has to be frustrating.  My LO had dropped by my 36 week appointment, though I'm still getting heartburn.  I hope you see some action soon.

Lookit what I got! This is officially my favorite thing for the nursery so far. It's old hardback books caved into letters. The colors are off in the pic, the A is nice aqua, the B is plum, and the C is orange with a teeny but of plum. Not too bad considering they were Anthropologie! (I'm filling my daughter's room with books in hopes that she'll grow up to love them like I do.)

Nope home all day tomorrow, next appt is next week so nothing till then! DH is a way better cook than me! I just feel guilty him cooking when I'm home and hes working! though he works from home, but still... when I was working and he wasn't he would do all the cooking but you know, Drs orders! hehe

I love the RTT baby pictures! They make my day

I think I might start hanging out in here (if you guys will have me). Been reading/keeping up for about a week and you're way more fun then the other threads. Plus, I've been on mat leave and am playing the waiting game... might as well be entertained while waiting!

Me too, I couldn't even come up with a snarky comment because I am so happy "it happened."

Finished the nursery finally, and since tomorrow is April, Peanut is officially allowed to show up at any time now.  I guess that means I should pack my hospital bag now...

Of course you are welcome! These gals are a blast

When did A14 turn into
"what's a contraction"
"am I in labor"
"hi I'm so and so here's my new baby"

this is why i've been pretty much staying here. the rest of the board is just boring or annoying tome

Feeling incredibly sick to my stomach all of the sudden. Maybe it's because I'm trying to get some things accomplished today which means a lot of being on hold and resetting passwords...

Mmmm burgers on the grill. I've been waiting for this day since last fall.

Also opening day. Love my Detroit Tigers!

@Pineconey  I'm calling labor for you!

Keep RTT baby pics coming.  They are too cute not to share.

All of the "Anyone else felt this?  Is this happening to anyone else?" questions would lend themselves to a damn fine drinking game if we could all drink.  I'm going to start keeping tallies then come May, RTT is getting wasted.

This is happening, leftover birthday "cake" notice how there is only one fork .

I'll take it!! Feeling super crampy and unusual pressure in my lower abdomen too at the moment.

Lindsay808

I've spent about 7 hours building a website for a computer class. My brain was just not designed for such things. I stayed motivated by the nagging dull cramps I've been having the last few days. Need to get this shit done before baby. 

Parks & Rec reruns on FX makes it alllll better. Hope everyone is doing okay

Oh and happy April Eve everyone! I thought this day would never come.
