It's been crazy....!!
She latches and it's amazing.... Sometimes I might cry, tomorrow dh has to work so it's just going to be us for half the day... All my family left so it's going to be a hormonal day...
My dad, mom, one of my brothers and one sister were all here.... Time flies when ya go in to feed and pump about every 3 hours or so!!!

Sorry I swear tomorrow when I get on dh's lap top I will share my last 48+ hours!
Let's just say they said I can skip a feeding (they give her what I pumped) I have slept 3 iffy hours since Tuesday night! I have to be up for vitals and feeding at 4!

I just might end up smacking the ever loving daylights out of my own mother before this whole thing is over. I am getting absolutely sick of feeling like all I am to her is the baby's incubator. She never greets me before the belly anymore, she reaches out and touches whenever and wherever she feels like it, and I swear if I hear her say she thinks I'll go early "because your doctor is too young to know what he's doing, and probably got your due date wrong" I AM GOING TO SNAP.

Sleep with your phone, have my hospital on speed dial, put up a damn crib at your house in the boonies that my child will not spend the night in until she is more than a year old and off the boob. I don't care. Just stop acting like I'm not a person anymore, and stop trying to say everything under the sun to piss me off enough to send me into labor early because you're so effing anxious to meet your granddaughter! ):<

::end rant::

Sorry, that was way more typing than I intended when I started that...

I'm feeling the hormones today. My two dogs have a drop off vet appointment today where they have physicals, blood work and teeth cleaned. I just dropped them off and started to cry that I was leaving them there. WTF. It's going to be one of those days...

Oh man, wait til you have to drop the LO off for preschool hehe

I hear ya though, I get sad when I leave my dog at the vet... He just had a tooth pulled so he had full anesthesia. I was sad and nervous!

@FarmBoysWife‌ your comment on FFFC made me want to AW every awesome thing MH does even more. Watch out, I may become intolerable.

I hate dumb people who dispense parenting advice.

I agree! And she has two kids.
Her mindset is that her first kid she let fall asleep in arms and after that he never wanted to sleep in his crib.
So we shouldnt do that so she won't manipulate us.

I think my child is setting up to be birthed during the perfect storm (RCS scheduled 3/24):

Snow storm this Sunday, OB will be gone from this afternoon/through all next week, and this is the one weekend my parents couldn't get DS and watch him.  Also, she was breathing beautifully, good weight, and plenty of amniotic fluid in utero based on ultrasound today.  I also jinxed myself by not being checked and saying I don't expect my body to have changed in 5 days.

Yep.  It is likely she will come Sunday/next week.

10lb weight gain in a week,protein in urine, 24 hour urine now with possible induction tomorrow Shit just got real!!!

Postpartum Blues.

I know they told us that afterwards it was normal for emotions to be all over the place and such but if it lasts too long then that could be ppd. I am only a week out since my c-section but I am wondering how long, if anyone has had the emotional roller coaster that this might go on? I feel fine and then out of nowhere I just want to cry. Part of it I am sure is the anxiety of being a FTM but I am terrified of screwing something up or not being a good enough mom. My husband has been absolutely amazing since day 1 and I am also terrified of when he goes back to work. I still have 12 days before that happens but today he is running out to do some errands and I am already getting anxiety over that.

Just not sure if this is all normal and I guess just needed a place to vent where other people understood what I am trying to say.

Hugs..

I have no advice (FTM.. Inside baby still) but I'm sorry you're feeling stressed

But like I say to anyone who is feeling down... Cry it out, don't hold it in, and take it one day at a time.

I hate the "you look ready to pop" comment. It makes me want to throat punch people!! I'm not all that large to begin with! I also hope they realize that getting this baby out isn't going to be as easy as "POP!" No it's going to be a hella lot of pain and effort!! [-(

@kirotea oh no! At least it's not something worse

True. But it hurts like a mother. Full-on sobbing during last feeding. OB is calling in ointment at pharmacy now.

But on the bright side, you now know that there was a really good reason you were miserable.  Hopefully the ointment does its job and BF will get much easier for you.

mrsdahamm

@bjd316‌ I was this way for at least a couple weeks. Are you getting any sleep? That helped me the most. If you start having thoughts of harming yourself or LO definitely call for help. If you have any doubts about how you're feeling call your OB or mw too

AshleyO925

@DisneyAddict1 Sending labor vibes your way. I hope everything works out for you!

I have been getting really depressed this week being home alone and waiting for this baby to come.  I have no friends or family down here to spend time with. We have a new puppy (I was trying to make MH happy) and he is very high maintenance while still potty training.  I also hurt all over so dealing with him has been really tiring.

My best friend and mom have been trying to time it right to get here for the birth. They are 11 hours away since I moved to NC to be with MH. Since I have my induction scheduled Thursday, my mom said they were going to come on Weds, but my best friend texted me today saying they are going to come a day earlier so we can hang out while H is at work.  I am SO EXCITED! I just really miss them both terribly and I only have work friends down here. It makes facing another 6 days of pregnancy tolerable.  

AnonymousMotherOfOne

Holy cow. Emotions. Where the heck did this come from? I've been fine all day, minus weird feelings where my tummy gets hard and I have to fight to breathe, but it hasn't been painful, per se, just relatively uncomfortable… because, you know... I like breathing...

And then out of nowhere I'm suddenly in tears because it happened again, and MH is about to leave for work.

Oh joy. Another one. Of course as soon as I start trying to relax!

::cue world's tiniest violin solo::

mrsdahamm

@AnonymousMotherOfOne‌ here's your violin

But seriously. Just know it's ok to be emotional, a lot is going on! Just ride the wave of emotions and take deep breaths. **creepy internet hugs**

AnonymousMotherOfOne

@DisneyAddict1‌ I just wish they weren't happening quite so close together, so often, ya know? If I weren't still over two weeks from my EDD, with a possible two weeks after that to face... I dunno, I'm just tired and I need to cry, but I feel like every time I cry someone somewhere is judging me...

@mrsdahamm‌ that is the cutest violin EVAR.

I met my mom at Starbucks today. A random male barista said to me, "Not to be creepy or anything, but I'm tempted to offer you a free drink if you'd let me sniff your baby's head."

Ooooookay. I mean, he was nice and all, but that was just weird.

That's right up there with the Cheesecake Factory waitress inquiring about someone's cervix... LOL

I am so sick of visitors!! When does the novelty of a newborn wear off? I am so ready to just settle in and be a family, but I feel like there is always someone coming over and never on our terms. Furthermore, if you are going to stop in for a "visit" can we keep it to under an hour and not 3? Ugh!

OMG!! What did you say in response??

I laughed and said, "Well, if you were serious, I just might take you up on it," and then we proceeded to talk about how cute my baby is.

pepperedmoth

We just went out for my "yay maternity leave" dinner. No cervix comments from the waitress, thankfully. One comment from a totally random stranger walking by.

But the best part? We ordered poutine.

Mmmmmmmmm poutine and pregnancy go soooooooo well together.

On another note, let me AW my newborn shoot we just did!

@Jennibeanjld‌ it cost like $5 to make at Hobby Lobby!

@FarmBoysWife‌ go ahead and kick him =]

Or at least remind him of this talk.

I'm in labor!!!!! Steady contractions 10 mins apart for the last 2 hours. My mom and best friend are flying out at 6 am and getting here around noon so hopefully they make it!!

My random thought of the day: I feel sorry for any of you who live in one of the 27 states (or internationally) who've never had Blue Bell ice cream. I'm finishing off a pint of buttered pecan Blue Bell ice cream and it is heaven. :P

SECONDED
Blue bell is heaven.

And on that note soon we are going to brenham to tour the factory and get a million tastes of new flavors =]

AshleyO925

I also got introduced to blue bell when I moved to NC. It's so creamy and delicious!!

AnonymousMotherOfOne

Guise. It happened. My mother called me before she went to bed to ask about the State of the Cervix. Also, to predict that I'll go into labor on or near the full moon, and to tell me that she would "rather not" have me go into labor tomorrow because she has plans. "Of course, I'd drop them in a heartbeat."

Heaven forbid I give birth when you have plans, mother. FFS I think it's time to just stop answering my damn phone unless it's my BFF or MH.

I'm getting my hair did tomorrow, but I'm sure now that I have made an appt for something other than having a baby is when baby will come haha!

Any other MOOBS have crazy wrist pain? My wrists feel like their bruised. Also, how did you know when your first PP period was? My bleeding stopped, but it's kind of come back today accompanied by cramps. Idk if I'm just having some bleeding that's started up again or what.

@amholley1‌ yes! My right wrist hurts like I sprained it or something. No idea about the pp period though. Are you bf'ing? I think that delays it more

mrsdahamm

I laid him down to move the boppy and close the kitchen after nursing and he rolled over to my leg to snuggle.
