I fucking feel you so hard on this. Dh has also requested that I either go into labor before 4pm or not until 2pm tomorrow. Okay, noted, asshole.

LOL yeah, just keep your knees pressed together super tightly just in case.  Because, priorities.

I hate how letdown feels. It's like Braxton Hicks of the boob.

I am saddened by the fact that I have lived in Denver a year and a half, and outside of my coworkers, the only people who know me are the Jehovah Witnesses who come by my house once a month.

I have been walking, emptying the dishwasher and loading it, bouncing on the exercise ball and timing these damn contractions. I think the only thing I have done is make my whole body hurt now and make myself crazy.

Let's go baby. Are you going to come out and play or not?!?!

Should I be able to feel letdown? I feel nothing (minus initial latch pain).

It probably depends. For some people it feels like pins and needles, for me it feels like tightening. I'm sure it's normal to not feel it at all. I also read that sometimes it takes a few weeks to be able to feel it.

We have lived in our house for about 3 1/2 years now. I don't know any of our neighbors names...

We did know one Family but they moved away. A very nice Asian family moved in next door, but we have had a lot of communication barriers. We do the "driveway wave" though!

@sarahmr416   thank you for the positive story; it gives me hope!  I hope my second labor goes like yours

I'm so glad I was able to see a LC today. Like I thought, DD has a tongue tie, and it will be clipped on Wednesday at her first appointment.

I got a better shield, and DD just breastfed like a champ. She has also slept so well today......translate that to me being up all night tonight.

I love my LC! She made me a handmade nipple butter while at my visit.

And since I promise you I was raised right...

Happy thoughts and vibes for all those struggling with inside and outside babies!

cshade07

Ahh what a day.. Went for the NST today and they said the baby failed. I was sent to l&d for monitoring and after what seemed like a century they determined the baby was okay for now but my days are numbered. I was having crazy contractions the entire time, and I didn't feel ONE. The nurse told me to smile and consider myself lucky. the drs prediction after seeing the contractions is that this little guy will be here by Friday! Fx he's right!!!! Otherwise another NST & ultrasound later this week and induction will be this wknd or Monday..

Let's hope this baby decides to make a grand entrance into the world before the induction date! Come onnnn baby!

Sometimes I cannot believe that we actually have real babies.

Fixed that for ya'.

....no but seriously, I stare at here at least 1x a day and tell her that I can't believe she's here and that I get to keep her.

LightBright515

She's 6 days old. Stop pissing her off trying to keep her up so she won't stay up all night...

Sleepless nights are a part of the process...

I'm crying about everything today.

On the plus side, I have a 10-day old baby sound asleep on my chest while I sit on the couch watching tv.

I've got one on mine too. The chest sleeping is my favorite. Except when it's at 2am.

Nichole7041

Just had a random ugly cry (thanks hormones) while telling my husband I want the baby here so bad but then I don't because I don't know if I can handle a newborn plus my 18 month olds new tantrum phase.

Then I proceeded to cry about how this board is so wonderful and I'm a terrible person for reading about all the outside babies and wanting that for myself!

This us so unlike me and my husband laughing was not helping....

TicketTuesday said:

Just had my 40 week appt. My doc said I'm still 2 cm dilated and that looking back at my first two ultra sounds, it had predicted my due date for the 23rd and 25th! So he said it could just be my due date was off. He wouldn't strip my membranes because he's going to be out of town Tuesday and Wednesday so he'll do it on Thursday. He said its up to me if I want to be induced, I said I'd think about it but I think I'm not going to. Trying not to cry now! My MIL flies in tonight and I feel so bad baby isn't here yet, even though I know it's not my fault.

Well shit man....either way it sucks baby isn't here yet. I feel your pain. I even had sex in a desperate attempt to make this baby come out. Nothing works. (

trisharenee0316

So, hypothetically speaking...

If you're 8 days away from your due date and your husband/SO is making you stabby and you're forced to actually kill him, it's not a real crime right?  Any lawyer bumpies know?

....Uhhh, asking for a friend, of course.

pnwlover12

Okay WTAF. I have officially seen it all. I'm on a local moms FB page and someone posted about the birth of their baby....AND the link for their mealtrain.com page. It's like the dinner version of gofundme.

Ridiculous.

No questions asked. Absolutely not a crime.

Guise I think my baby has some red in her blonde hair. Don't tell Jalopy!

I think I missed this in my extreme lurking period. What's the story behind the red hair and jalopy?

I now consider getting DD to eat two chicken nuggets and 4 forkfuls of mac n cheese a dinner win.

She had a UO back in July about redheaded kids that read:

"Red headed little boys freak me out. They look like creepy little serial killers. I'm not sure where or how this got into my head, but they seriously freak me out. 

Like, throw candy at them, back away, lock the door and grab a baseball bat heebie jeebies.

I know.....it's messed up"

My...friend will be happy to hear this.

She may PM Syllessa for some body hiding services.

Well, that is definitely messed up. Why did I spend so much time away from this board during my 2nd trimester? I missed most of the good stuff.

My feeding dd show is Gilmore Girls. I'm addicted. Why have I never watched this before?

trisharenee0316

I'm re-reading the original UO thread now and it just makes me wish that people quoted when responding to a poster because there are definitely posts missing now that she's been banned and I'm sad about missing the context.

Man... We were way to nice to her about this. Rereading what she said and I'm like WTAF!!! :-q b-(

I agree. I didn't think it was that big of a deal at first (although did think it was fucked up) but reading it again it's like...ok yeah. You cray.

Apparently I have overachiever boobs I'm getting 5 oz a boob at this rate I'm gonna be drowning in milk. How does one go about donation?

To a milk bank or locally?

If a milk bank, I think they make you fill out a bunch of forms and do blood tests and other stuff.  I'm not sure who to contact about that--maybe your OB's office or your local hospital would know more?

If you mean locally to another mom, there are two groups that have Facebook pages for local chapters: Human Milk 4 Human Babies and Eats on Feets.  They try to link up women who have chronic oversupply with those who want to feed their babies breast milk for perhaps a more long term donation arrangement, but also help with matching up people who might have a more short term need.

I agree with this. Babies sleep because they need to. If they are asleep just let them sleep. 

pnwlover12

Only 1 hour 17 minutes until DD's bedtime. Then I can relax in peace and watch the finale of RHONJ on my DVR.

I own all the seasons. I have watched them start to finished so many times. I drive my husband crazy.

Can you tell I am feeding with all my over posting.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I thought it was pretty tame/lame.  Usually finale episodes have all the dramz so then you're excited for the eleventy million part reunion.  I thought the most exciting part was the preview of the reunion.
