My step brother just got engaged to a girl he's been dating for 2 weeks and I asked him why. He said "YOLO". He was serious :-?
Omg. My bro did that with a girl who he dated for two months and she was a minor!! Thankfully, it didn't last. But the girl still messages me saying she wishes things would have worked out between them and that she will always think of DS as her nephew. Like what?! I didn't even know you!!
I've never met this girl and I have a feeling I never will!! I don't understand people who rush into marriage! Whhhyyyyyy do you have to get married?! This is also his 2nd marriage. I'm not even sure if his divorce is final yet.
She's probably trying to get to your brother through you! Or she's crazy. Or both
is it ok to post baby stuff here or should we keep this pregnancy related?
If ok... LO's head is finally looking less squished now on Day 5. also, I thought he had this beautiful tan, and then the midwife today said he's a bit yellow but nothing to worry about. so here I am, thinking my kid is finally looking decent... new mom of the year, right here! lol
I did the same thing! After seeing DS purple, then red, I thought it was a good thing when his complexion started getting nice and golden.

Occasionally, I follow a blog from a Mom that my sons had gymnastics with. It's usually a "fun read" and a "I can't believe she wrote that". She is due around the same time as me and just posted about what she packs for her hospital bag. It actually was a decent list, except for Spanx. All I could think was OUCH! I guess it's he same as an abdominal binder, right? But still...ouch and ugh.
Wth? Why is my profile pic now a blue background with flowers?
Its like the random profile pic curse, or something
I just tried to change my username (again). I'm pretty sure it failed, but instead I got a random profile pic of a girl with brown hair and a green background. Ughhhh.

Ya'll I don't know where to put this, but as it is completely random, I guess no better place than the random board. DH has been growing his beard since September and calling it his baby beard. He said he wasn't going to shave till LO is born. On the way home from work today he was telling me his dad was telling him to shave soon so he didn't scratch the baby and I suggested that he might want to or he was going to have to wear a hair net over it during c-section. When I got home he was in the shower and as he walked into the living room (my back was to him) he said, "baby, I love you so much", I thought I'd done something annoying and asked what I'd done now and when I turned around, he had shaved! Not clean shaven, just a short beard, the way I love him to be. I started crying and he said he knew how uncomfortable and miserable I am and he just wanted to make me smile. I knew I married him for a reason.
@KarasTwin that means you'll probably go into labor soon! Lol
Haha, as ready as I am to meet this kid, hopefully he stays in till scheduled c-section....I think I would be really freaked out if I went into labor and had to rush to get to the hospital for an emergency one!
Was my friends labor support today. I bawled and bawled. I don't cry at deliveries.... I see so many but I just lost it. It's so real! This baby is actually coming out in a week..... Ahhhhh!
I had a strong urge today that melly is having a girl........ I am the minority ! @mellymar Not going to lie. My friends team green delivery was soooo exciting!
She had her 3rd girl.... Really wanted a boy but it was so cool! The anticipation.....
So definitely my next kid will be team green (next kid in 5 years when the mirena comes out) also I promised DH we would not find out if we had any more kids

My epidural vanished when it was time to start pushing (!) so I was pretty out of it when baby was born. Until the day I die, I will never forget DH's voice exclaiming, "Oh my G-d, we have a LITTLE BOY!!!"

:-bd Hooray, someone is on my side! We'll find out soon enough! I still think its a girl, my family makes girls (all girls on my side except for my uncle jimmy. But that leaves me, my sis, my mom, her twin sisters, her singleton sister, my gramma -who was a twin sister...). And my genes are more badass than DH's, of course. Actually, I don't remember right now if his birth mom has more boys or girls...hmmm.
Even tho it totally blew my mind when @virginiaunicorn11 had a boy. I fully expected a girl for you, lady! As soon as I saw your announcement and that it was a boy, I was totally shocked. And then I thought selfishly 'that means I'll probably have a boy too'.
Team Green is so fun! So weird to think that I'll know the answer to this 9m question soon
is it ok to post baby stuff here or should we keep this pregnancy related?

I noticed how "tan" LO was in the hospital. DH and I are super pale, I actually made a comment to DS that its a good thing we know he's yours! Then the nurse came in and said, "Oh I love Jaundice babies, they are so beautiful" And bam we earned ourselves an extended stay in the hospital. He's 17 days old and still looks like he just returned from a tropical vacation.
And LO's head is perfectly round but with a huge 9cm lump on the side where he got "stuck" improperly positioned sideways for a few hours. At hospital they said it would reabsorb. At one week appt they said oops maybe not, but once he's larger it would disappear into the anatomy of his skull. Hmm, hope it keeps shrinking or he has a giant head because that's not disappearing quietly. Sorry little dude.
Here's a question, I got a gift certificate for a pre or post natal massage at my shower. My due date was yesterday. The earliest appointment I could get is Tuesday. Should I schedule a prenatal for Tuesday and tempt fate or wait and make it a post natal massage? I feel like at either point I will be in dire need of it.
Wanted a relaxing mani/pedi to forget the fact im not in labor and have weeks to go. Lady doing my nails proceeded to tell me everything horrible about both of her child birth experiences! Thank goodness for the language barrier...I only caught half of what she said. Then she said how Im not close to delivering because I haven't dropped far enough. I wanted to say "Bitch, go read the "no one can tell you when you'll go into labor" thread." grrrrrrr....

Ooooooooh! I'd do post natal, personally! Either way you can't lose, a massage sounds like a dream right now!
Just wanted to say congrats to @virginiaunicorn11 I've been MIA! But I'm soooo happy about your little boy! I would totally assume my baby was all glowy and tan too! I hope your first few days have been manageable!
Best of luck @NotISaidtheCat can't wait for the announcement!!!!

Celebrating with you all!
Thank you and glad you're back!
And hooray, @NotISaidtheCat! Wishing you and LO all the very best!!
This is awesome! My husband was telling me about one he found, but I don't think it did it like this where it updates as the days go by and you haven't had the baby yet. I'm going to spend the next half hour pouring over the numbers, excuse me.
ETA: They have stats up to 44 weeks, and I'm NOT going that long (I don't know anyone who's medical team would feel comfortable with that!). So really, the date it says 88.3% current probability of going into labor by that date . . . that should be 100%. So maybe your numbers look more favorable than you think, @bbnmama2012!

I personally feel like I was more in need of a massage before baby was born. But before you make the appointment, I'd double check on their cancellation policy just in case you do go into labor between now and Tuesday. I've never had a professional massage so I don't really know how these things work, but could they hold you liable for payment if you schedule it and don't show up because you're at L&D? If they have a strict policy like that, I'd definitely go for the postnatal massage.
@Serenamarr heck yeah schedule it. I have one scheduled for this coming Wednesday. They are the best thing that's ever happened to me..... Love massages. If they held you liable because of labor that would get them a very bad reputation. And there's actually no way they could MAKE you pay. They don't have your card number.
I just squirted milk and I'm not gonna lie...I feel pretty cool. Probably more excited than I should be.
I've been squirting LO in the face all day today. Part of me feels bad about it but she always makes this completely bewildered face when it happens so part of me thinks it's hysterical lol
