I hate that... when you change the diaper only to be met with an explosion two minutes later. My hubby just came downstairs because he thought I was killing the baby... he was just protesting spitting up in himself and being changed lol!
Can't sleep.... again! Nervous for my 39week appointment today. We are going to talk about induction. I have to be up in less than an hour for work, and I've already been up for over an hour...This is going to be a long day.
@ShanRum3. Good luck today. It's 5 am and I've been up for 3 hours.
Its also my 39 week appt today and we will talk about induction for either this Friday or next Friday. As much as I want a smooth induction I'm not ready to last another week.
yes. Right there with you. I've been up for hours with back labor and cramps. I'm playing the delightful bathroom game of is it pee or amniotic fluid? Tons of fun.
I have my 38w appt today but not sure if I should wait until then 10am, or go to L&D, ugh. I've been so miserable the last couple days.
@AliKay20 if he's only peed then I wait until after I nurse him to change him.
Of course earlier I changed a poopy diaper, fed him put him back down and 2 minutes later heard him poop. I may have waited until he woke himself up to change that one (which sadly was only a few minutes later)
@ThisisNumber3, Doc wasn't willing to schedule an induction yet.... I have to go in for an ultrasound on Monday and back for my 40+ week appointment on Tuesday. I'm going b to beg and plead for an induction then! I could have this little guy on my birthday. 8-19
@jkershaw2013 Yeah, I'm still only 1cm and 50% effaced. He wants to see how big baby is at the Ultrasound on Monday. Baby's long bones were measuring short at my 32 week ultrasound, and was only estimated to be 6lb. 1 oz by 39 weeks. By the ultrasound at 36 weeks, he still hadn't caught up completely, but they said he was following a perfect growth curve and they just figured he would be a little baby. He was estimated at 5lb. 9oz at 36 weeks. I'm really ok with having a smaller baby than my other 2, and as much as I trust and respect my OB, I'm super frustrated with having to wait another week (at least) and having someone else deliver baby boy. At this rate, he and I may share a birthday... the 19th!
@ShanRum3 I was also 1 cm and 50% at my 39 week appt. Also measuring a week or so behind. So I had an ultrasound today and DD is estimated to be 6.5 lbs which is more 36.5 weeks gestation. Nothing wrong with small babies
Part of me wants to have her here, but I don't know if I want an induction. I think I'll be close to 41 weeks when they will discuss induction with me.

Of course as I go to bed tonight I tell DH how tired I am and how much I don't want to get up at 3 am. His response, well don't wake up at 3 am.
So so tonight as the toddler cries at midnight, he spends five minutes in there and comes back to bed saying there isn't anything I can do. So I spend 30 minutes rocking him and DH is now snoring in bed next to me. Ugh. So annoyed.
As i stay up all night partying with baby i watch the olympics. I'm watching taunt perfect body after taunt perfect body, i find myself thinking you look nice but i created and pushed an entire human being out with my body. In fact i have made three humans with my body.So there.
My baby just slept from 10:30pm to 5am!! he's three weeks old... I'm praying it happens again lol!
I can't wait til A is back up to birthweight. He's finally giving me stretches where I have to wake him to eat instead of him waking in his own. I'd love to sleep more than 2 1/2 hours at a time!!

I thought this too but then there is Kerri Walsh Jennings, the patron Saint of badass mothers. Three kids, perfect body, and won a gold medal while 5 weeks pregnant with her daughter!?! What!!
I haven't even gone on a post-partum walk for longer than ten minutes yet...
DS has been taking naps in his crib since we got home, but sleeping in our room in a bassinet. I decided to try having him sleep in his crib tonight in hopes that I wouldn't wake up to every little cough or movement. Yet here I am, wide awake just staring at the monitor. This is so much harder than I expected!

@Curls919 this is our last night in the hospital and baby has decided his cluster feeding time is now. We have been at it for an hour now. He will fall asleep on the boob, then when I try to lay him down je immediately wakes up. I am so tired I can barely keep my eyes open.
I'm up too... DS nursed, pooped 3 times (of course I changed him for each one, thinking he was done), and then decided he's hungry again, so now I'm waiting for him to finish. His eyes are finally closed so FX he'll actually go back to sleep this time!
Well here I am at 315 am pumping. My milk finally came in yesterday. DD cluster fed before bed last night 3 times and left me tired and sore. And now it's been over four hours and she does not want to be fed at all. I can feel such a fullness is my breasts that I know it will feel better if I pump. So glad we picked up a bra to pump hands free yesterday. Now I can bump and pump. Hehe.
I feel like tomorrow is going to be a long day with a few visits from family to see baby and our first pediatrician visit is in 5 hours. I'm so tired, but at least I am feeling productive.

I'm up again. Yesterday they were supposed to call for an induction between 4-7am. They were backed up. It's 4 am now and I'm debating calling again for a status update.
DD is an escape artist tonight and keeps getting her arms out of her swaddle which in turn is waking her... I'm apparently also the only one out of DH and I that hears her fussing at all. My CS incision loves me for getting in and out of bed repeatedly, lol.

Since we're supplementing with formula I had to pump tonight. And I was up late making lactation cookies and drinking mother's milk tea (my supply is tanking). A needs to eat again in about 40 min so I made the decision not to go to bed before that feeding no just couldn't handle getting less than an hour before getting up to an alarm. Thankfully DH said I could sleep in a bit if DS1 is up early. I'm going to need a caffeine IV line tomorrow.
I just learned an hour ago through FB that my friend had passed. We haven't seen each other for a year and recently had conversations around meeting up. It's so unreal to me. I haven't experienced what it was like to lose someone until now and I am more in denial than anything. She was incredibly smart and had so much to give to this world. DH suggested we say a prayer and I just about lost it because somehow saying a prayer meant acknowledging that she was really gone. I feel so sick to my stomach.
For once though, baby A is deep asleep. This would be an ideal night for us to get some sleep but here I am, not even nursing, just up even though I am pretty tired. It makes you think. It definitely will make me think twice about rescheduling to meet up with someone (if I can help it). We are not promised tomorrow. Give your loved ones extra hugs and kisses. I wish I didn't take my friend for granted and thought there will be other days to catch up.
Re: Moms who bump in the night
only for her to grunt and poop some more and you're left speechless whether or not to change that diaper or just feed her and put her back to sleep...
sigh, I changed out her diaper again. Just had to after hearing the sound that came
along with round 2.
Maybe I'll feed her first next time...
Its also my 39 week appt today and we will talk about induction for either this Friday or next Friday. As much as I want a smooth induction I'm not ready to last another week.
