Don't even get me started on the baby wars. 4 close friends all had babies one month apart-January to April. ALL THEY DO IS TALK ABOUT EACHOTHER.

'Jane says her baby was crawling but there's no way.'
'Alice told me her son said Papa but I've never seen him talk so I doubt that's what he meant to say.'

UGHHH shut the fuck up! Not to mention their kids are all geniuses because they showed some semblance of understanding to something (Little Peter dances every time he heard this song! He's SO SMART!) or my personal favourite-their kid is advanced because quote 'he's only 6 months old but he's already in 9 month old clothing.'

Yes. That happens...a lot. Calm yourself.

I don't get the clothes thing AT ALL. People talk like it's a sad thing that my DS is short and small. Um, guess what? I married a short-ish guy from an even shorter family. Turns out, my son might take after his dad and just be a small dude. It's really not a big deal that my 2.5 yr old can still wear some 18-mth sized clothes and is borderline "petite." My own mother talks like it's too bad that DS is short and I'm like, since when was height a persons' best asset?

I just let out a silent fart that I told hubster about warning him it "may or may not be smelly." 

His response 30 seconds later:

"OH MY GAWD that thing is RANK! How do you manage to produce such horrible smelling gas ALL THE TIME?"

He then left the room and took the plate of chocolate chip cookies with him. 

Does this mean I'm in labor (asked with laden sarcasm)?

Omg @dani+california‌, I can't stop laughing at the clothing size making them advanced.
Or, they're just fat. Or tall. Or big. Wtf does that have to do with intelligence?!?! LOLOL!!

Exactly! I don't know. I just sit there and listen to this garbage and laugh to myself.

I'm so glad my baby is a year younger than all of theirs so it's not constantly being compared.

They may put even more pressure on your LO. Every week they'll probably be all "is your baby doing this yet? My kid was doing this by that age."

My hubby has the strangest ability to come follow me when I'm politely going somewhere away from him to fart and then complain about the stinkiness. To which I say "THEN STOP FOLLOWING ME!"

@dani+california‌ that is hysterical but so true! The end messes with your mind like crazy for sure!

Mm, pregnancy. Lowering the bar for the win. I feel like human of the year tonight because I cooked dinner, washed all the dishes after dinner, the laundry is kept up and folded, AND I FLOSSED. Excuse me while I victory waddle up to bed.

Eta: dinner, btw, was a gourmet balanced meal of French toast and scrambled eggs.

My baby hasn't been born yet but I'm sure she's already rolling over. In fact, I'm 100% certain she rolls over quite frequently. She's so advanced. We're so proud.

I've been in labor for. 3 months if all it takes is deathly smelling farts.

Someone better explain to my male dog that he can't have farts as bad as he does since his being pregnant and in labor is not physically possible.

Skipping like 350 posts so yay baby, t&p and fx for anyone who it applies to.

Today I had a massage, took a nice long bath and got a pedicure. Had my me day... Now baby needs to hurry up!

deidremaria

Ugh!!!! I know you guys want me to shut up about it but I really want my damn baby. This anxiety is annoying.

I didn't get my first tooth til my first birthday. My brothers were like fucking Jaws at 4 months.


I'm totally smarter than they are

Your brain was too busy forming synapses to have time for something silly like teeth.

I don't think my baby is going to come early at all, however if he does, he has to wait at least until after Sunday when I am getting waxed!

avidkeo

Ok ladies, Im not worried, but worried.

I just had a fall (maybe 5 mins ago) where I landed on my right side, fell down 2 steps onto our deck. Landed pretty hard. Bit sore but ok.

No movement from LO. Ive had some OJ and am laying on my side. I told DH I'll give her 30 mins and if no movement Im calling the MW.

Good plan?

MadBloom

Boo.... had to put away my wedding rings this evening. They've been getting tight for the last 3-4 days and I've been noticing a bit of swelling in my hands and feet. Could hardly get them off this evening. Almost made it! 

Edrami

@avidkeo‌ sounds good also try really cold water. Hope everything is ok!

Oh no! I hope everythings ok. If it makes you feel better my doctor told me later in pregnancy you have to take a really (like really) hard hit for it to hurt the baby. There have been a lot of women (on here even) that fell flat on their stomachs and were ok. If anything, you'll just induce labor right?

Hehe thats what I told DH

I'm convinced this baby has fashioned some kind of shank and is sticking it to my left ovary.

avidkeo

So I've had maybe a couple of really small squirms so far (like was that a movement or just my breathing) but not enough to say its anything. I've just been in touch with my MW who is on her way back from being out of town. Due back in town in about 40 mins. Ill give it another 20 and if no change we will drive into the hospital to meet her.

pineconey

Decided to make up some shortcakes, red wine reduction sauce, chocolate, etc. dessert fabulousness is about to happen up in here.

Twirple

I hope everything is OK @avidkeo.  Falls are definitely scary.  Please keep us updated.

avidkeo

Annnddd now I feel like an idiot...

Just had a couple of bigger definite movements. She has had a quiet day today anyway so these movements are a bit more normal for a quiet day. My MW is going to call when she gets into town - may go in if she suggests it just for piece of mind.

Scary stuff! My logical mind was saying that everything will be ok, and the chances of any damage are virtually none, but my hormonal baby mind after about 15 minutes started to freak out.

Still is at how quiet her movements are but I'm going to try listen to the logical mind more than the freak out mind!

Thanks for being so supportive ladies!!!

Saline drops in his nose to loosen it up and use bulb suction to pull it out.

I've been doing a lot of lurking and the shit talking of A14 is going off all over other BMBs. Dont say her name, thus summon the minions. I came across this and found it amusing though:

Yezbick9 said:

Taking a quick break from L&D stories for a moment...  I was browsing a few other BMB boards, and several have "longest thread ever" stuff.  April '14 is 1158 PAGES  Yeah.  Crazy.  I'm totally okay with this being ours, and @nkhead can get notified 30,000 times (if we keep up with April, of course).

Carry on.

Got home from work today, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, did a load of laundry, pre-treated some carpet pet stains, shampooed the carpet in the baby's room and scrubbed and oiled the kitchen cabinets.  Holy nesting Batman!

Watch out with the carpet cleaning! That's what put @mamamonzo into labor ;-)

I was just joking around with DH about the fall - saying things like "I've always told you babies were made to bounce" (my way of dealing with stress - to make really bad jokes)

He told me it reminded him of that blimp that went down in a fiery ball...

He compared me to the Hindenburg!!!

Twirple

This is so wrong!  (though if my DH had done that, I probably would have laughed)

fireflygirl12

Went to L&D Sat. night, hooked up to monitor and was having contractions every 3-5min for 2 hours (plus every 5-7min for almost 24hrs before we came in). I got sent home b/c I didn't progress from a 3 during the 2hrs. Contractions dropped down to every 6-8min yesterday and completely gone today. What the heck?! 

Now I have no clue when to go back in either. You would kind of think 3-5 min contractions would be a telling sign.

hehe, I have to admit I found it funny - any other time I would be laughing my ass off as well. 

Doesn't help that I'm wearing a red sundress thing...

He must feel a bit bad, cause he's just agreed to watch One Born Every Minute with me.

Ok, minor dilema. I'm due wednesday.... induction date is set for the 17th just in case. DH goes in for surgery on the 21st... We've been waiting over a year for this surgery for him and we really don't want to cancel because if we have to wait much longer then his ability to do his job could be affected. 
Do you guys think it's ridiculous for me to ask for an earlier induction date so that I've had a chance to get home from the hospital and get at least a week in at home before DH goes in for his procedure?

I see my OB on Wednesday. 

pineconey

Is it still pregsomnia if the reason I'm wide awake is because I slept past 10 and napped 3-5?
*sigh*

I would talk to your OB and explain the whole situation and see what they say. Hopefully they will be open and understanding with your situation and be able to be accommodating on the scheduled induction as long as they feel that it's something that can be done safely without posing harm to your LO!

I just ate a pound of pineapple and I'm still hungry X_X aaaaaaaaand of course can't sleep <:-P

Tferr02

I hate waking a sleeping baby to get him to eat!! It's so hard to motivate myself to wake up so I can wake him up.
