I can't sleep so I'm on here catching up. 39 wks today and heading in for my RCS this morning.
Super excited/nervous/anxious to meet our baby today!
Good luck to everyone being induced, sounds like 1/10 may be a popular Bday for our LOs!

LaBellaVida

Good luck! Try and catch a few hours of sleep!

I'm up because, I had sex. \:D/ and now I can't sleep, and have heartburn. Thinking I'll go grab a snack and catch up on everything I missed (Yesterday.)

LaBellaVida

Oh. I took my dog into the vet, because she hasn't been herself in a few weeks. I thought she was just being a turd, but then she started to appear like she was sick.

Turns out, she's just old and suffering doggy alzheimers. She's starting to go blind too and has some hip issues. Now I feel like a complete asshole for punishing her for her "bad behavior. " she couldn't help it!

I take her in next week to get a complete senior checkup to check everything out with her.
She's a 10 year old beagle.

Seriously. .....I can't tell you how bad I feel!

shannjohnston

I was admitted around 1am and just had my water broken, so it looks like I'll be joining you @amandad715‌ (and others)!

PS - epidurals are awesome

LaBellaVida

Good luck! Epidurals are awesome!

drwells229

Been up since 2am unfortunately not due to sex lol. DH is too tired. Psh. My mind is tired but my body is restless. 39 weeks today.
Good luck ladies!

I was a dumb pregnant woman and gave my massage appointment to a girlfriend who was having a bad day last week. Everything hurts and I'm lying here dreaming of that massage unable to sleep

hollydenton

Good luck to all of those delivering today and congratulations to those coming home with new bundles of joy!

Today is baby shower #2 for me. The preacher's wife at my church has put one together at her house for all of the church ladies to attend. I'm really excited to sped some quality time with them. DH has been attending this church off and on since he was 13 but I have only been a member since June. So it's really sweet how these ladies have taken me in and made me feel so welcome here.

I'm starving, but I can't eat. Stupid antibiotics

I'm scared to death of co sleeping, but I put Beau in our bed at our 3 am feeding because his poor hands were ice. No clue why because our room is warm but I felt terrible for his hands being cold and then for putting him in my bed. *sigh*

Their hands and feet are always first to get cold, even when baby isn't actually cold. I put the little mitts on Jude's hands.

Josie400

Every morning I wake up with a stomachache. This kid is crushing my insides.

bigbobdole

This boy is gassy. He's grunting and grunting. No crying, but I still feel terrible. Trying everything to help him get some farts and burps out.

britb618

@skylerpete don't feel guilty- your doing the best anyone can! I second @megan81112‌ baby mitts are the way to go!

So I freaked dh out yesterday- I was sitting in my office and felt a trickle texted him saying my water may have broke but it's just a little and need to wait half hour to see if continues- it smelled super sweet and I was 'pretty' sure it wasn't pee. Welp it stopped and I'm figuring it's prob super sweet smelling bc I've been eating so much pineapple lol! You think since my water broke last time I'd know the difference but I think I was just leaking discharge (ew tmi probably sorry ladies) anyway I still left work bc my pants were wet, came home and packed my hospital bag. So happy that is done! Today we are supposed to go look at beds and dining room sets so this baby can just stay put til after that. Also going to watch pats game tonight at a friends house who we haven't seen in a while and she is prego with her first so I'm dying to see her and talk baby! Other kids will be there for dd so it should be a good night- so Jack can just hang out til tomorrow or next week- whatever works! Also work is paying for a new laptop for me so I'm gonna go get that done today! So sad it can't be a Mac bc it's be compatible with our system but a new laptop is a new laptop so atill excited to have one before baby so I can edit all the pics I take on it!
@LaBellaVida‌ yay for sex! But I'm sorry about the dog!

YaMrWhite

I'm officially overdue according to my EDD. Nope, I'm not frustrated at all! Totally calm and happy.

kellyfo14

Today is DD's 5th birthday party! So excited! I am a total girly girl. DD is not but she is into the newest My Little Pony series, like obsessed. Those of you who haven't seen it don't understand just how awesome it is. So, it is fun to do something girly for a party that she will really enjoy. We always let them choose their themes.

misslizzy82

@labellavida I'm so sorry about your dog. I hope you're able to figure something out for her!

MusicFanatic

@MrsDigger10- I would probably abide by the 24 hours, even if low grade. Only because I'd be mega scared of anyone on a L&D floor (including babies) getting something.  I know when I was in the hospital, no one with fever was allowed to visit me at all. (on bedrest, I'm talking). It could be different up here, but it was a definite rule there.  I'm sorry he's coming down with something- what bad timing! Hopefully it's quick to disappear.

I need to go to super market. I think I'm leaving Zoe behind because wind chill is below 0 here still. Let my two favorite people bond   No plans, otherwise. I think it's a lazy day. With the fireplace going.

LittleB92

I slept through the night last night, 9 hours. I think I am the luckiest pregnant lady because seriously, I hardly ever get up to pee at night (and it's not lack of water, I drink a ton all day, just must have a bladder off steel).

lasawyer91

I'm so happy it's the weekend! 37weeks and my feet are sore from all the waking I do at work! Going to relax with breakfast in bed and maybe make my way to the store this afternoon to buy some more bottles and diapers. I love lazy Saturdays. Congrats and good luck ladies I can't wait to hear about your LOs ☺

Maebb

I woke up, and it was very light in our room - turns out I slept until 8:30! Woohoo!

DH brought DS into our bed for some early morning snuggles, and the first thing he said was, "Daddy, where did the ketchup go?" Crazy boy.

I was going to get a pedicure today, but I'm feeling kind of lazy, so I probably won't.

DH and I are going to a poker night with his work group tonight, and it will be my first time meeting most of them. We are supposed to bring an appetizer - any ideas for something that will make them all love me?

mowl2014

@Maebb‌ anything wrapped in bacon is always a favorite of mine :-)

aremac

@maebb my H and I always make and bring sundried tomato tapenade. It's realllly good.

37 weeks today, I was a little jealous of all the ladies with outside babies, but I'm so happy to be able to read all the birth stories!

It's been such a weird week, last night H and I went out to dinner at a new place. The food was amazing, but the service was....weird. I went to the bathroom after for glasses of water and when I was in there the waitress asked H if the baby was his!? Then she came into the bathroom to check on me, saying she thought I looked unwell!?
That's super weird right? H thought because he told her how preg we are that she might have thought I was giving birth in the bathroom.
The food was really good so I'll be back there. Maybe I'll just wait until baby arrives though.

nursemarie925

Today is our first full day home with Avery. Seems like older kids had a ball while I was gone and made small messes all around the house. Glad to finally be home with them though.

We have to take avery into the Drs office today for a weight check. At discharge time, she was down 6%. A slight murmur was also detected and she up having an echo done which showed she has/had a PDA which will just be monitored to make sure that It closes.

Aaaaaand, I has a baby!!

mowl2014

Yesterday I pulled a muscle in my back and pretty much was on the couch all day. I watched the first four twilight movies and now I really want to watch the last one but it would cost money. ..... lol I'm really not a Huge fan but I can get obsessed with finishing series. It's not unheard of for me to read one or two books a day and keep going until a series is complete. .. #ivegotissues

4littlebears

I'm still hanging in here, finally dilated to a 4 and waiting to hear when she will break my water. My cervix was really slow dilating on the cytotek, but the pitocin has sped it up quite a bit! Still haven't had an epidural but I'm planning to when they break my water. I'm exhausted and it's my 4th child. I deserve a minimally painful childbirth!

aremac

@4littlebears‌ hope it speeds up! You're almost done!

41 weeks today! 

So far, this has been an 'at peace' day. lol. It's still early, but yesterday was, so I'm hoping to keep riding that wave. 

Next appointment is Monday morning. I think I'm feeling a little more at peace because we'll probably have a plan started on Monday if she doesn't come this weekend.

kaybeeknits

Good luck, @pharmgirl1024!

elleswarth

@pharmgirl1024‌ - my friend just had that happen too a few weeks ago from stadol! She said she was seeing purple giraffes and other random crap and it really scared her. Hope the rest of your induction goes well!!!

SheHulk723

Been rocking out to Europe's 'The Final Countdown' this morning cause it's 10 days till my CS! I can't believe in ten days my baby girl will be here eek!

DH and I are going to my grandparent's house tonight for dinner... which should be interesting. I've never been close to them because of something that happened when I was 5, my dad cut them out of our lives completely for a very very long time. In the last couple years they've reconciled and I don't have problems forgiving people so I see them for big event type stuff and the occasional family get together. But, while I love them, they're from a different social class than my DH so it should be interesting to see how my two worlds collide I guess. I've been warning him all week what to expect/ how to act kinda stuff. Not that what they think of him really matters. I'm just anxious and stressed about it clearly, since I'm still rambling.

tkr7c9

DH took night duty last night and let me sleep a glorious 6 hours... woke up though with rock solid boobs from not feeding and had to pump. I know it is still too early but we have introduced a bottle (only used maybe once a day) so that mommy can get some sleep too. Now DH is sleeping while I wait for my parents to get here.

readyforround2

@4littlebears‌ you're in the home stretch! You can do it! I hope you get to meet your little one soon!

@kellyfo14‌ happy birthday to your little girl! My little pony is awesome!

@nah82 I still don't know how you can be so civil to him. I seriously admire your self control! I hope you have fun tonight at the surprise party!

@LaBellaVida‌ yay for make up sex! I had sex last night too! I wasn't very comfortable afterward but it was worth it! Lol

I ended up waking up an hour after I fell asleep to pee and with some pelvic pain. I went to the couch around 3am to try and get some sleep. It worked for about an hour then I had to get up again. I think I was having contractions but I don't know for sure.

I'm hoping to get some motivation at some point today so I can clean up the house but that probably won't happen so I'm scoping out movies to watch

kaybeeknits

Yay @babystandish!

LuckyPenny1231

Today is a good day. Some days I am totally over being pregnant and others (like today) I think I can totally rock this another 1-2 weeks.

I sent DH out to get me starbucks. That always helps!

@BabyStandish‌ congratulations!! I was so excited to see your birth announcement when I came onto the board!! He is adorable!

@SheHulk723‌ sorry you are anxious and stressed about your dinner tonight. I hope it all goes well! And yay that your baby will be here in ten days!!

Another random, Wyatt slept pretty good last night , even going 4 1/2 hours between one feeding. It feels so good to get some sleep! Is anyone else with babies here having problems with their LO wanting to be held constantly when sleeping? Wyatt, when awake, doesn't mind laying down, but he does not sleep good or for long periods of time if he is laying down. I don't remember this happening with my other kids? I love snuggling with him, obviously, but especially at night time, I really want him laying down on his own, in his own bed...

Yes! We are still having the problem with her wanting to be held/cuddled at night to sleep. She sleeps well in the rock n' play and pack n' play during the day but not so much at night.

Disneygeek77

I think today I'm just gonna sit on the couch and watch Pioneer Woman.  I have about 40 episodes on the DVR and find her show comforting.

Have you tried moving his legs around? Sometimes that helps LO who is quite gassy as well. Burping him on his belly while resting on your arm helps sometimes too.  

I do it all. He was ripping some mean ones earlier. No grunts now.

Maybe he didn't like the Chinese food we had for dinner the other night..

DD is a week old today! Today was supposed to be induction day but she had other plans. So far, she's a pretty easy baby and hoping it stays that way.

My husband is pissing me off. He is not being at all helpful. It's frustrating.
