@wpowell I wish you all the best! Just the thought that my DH won't be around for the first few hours due to work gets me, I can't imagine the emotions you and your H are going through. Keep us posted!

Children are like casseroles; it takes a lot to mess them up.
#firstworldproblems BF, ahoy! I bought a super adorable maternity blouse during my last pregnancy. We moved when DD was 5 months old, last December, and I've yet to find that shirt! It's driving me nuts because it's one of the few that fit me until the very end last time and I'm totally convinced it'll show up like a week after I have this baby and it's not nursing friendly so it won't even do me any good!
So I just have to add now that the same SIL is throwing a fit over our name choice. at my fiances jobs Xmas party, he sat with her and his BIL (they work at the same place). for the last 2 momths, she kept telling me she liked it, not that I really care but he does. and our other 2 names, his sisters and mother literally all told us no, like they get any say. so she's badgering E about the name (i had to work so i wasnt there) and he finally looks at her and says next time we'll run the name by you and make sure you like what your niece/nephew is named. she got all pissy and spent the night upset, his BIL thought it was hilarious. then Sunday, when we went to pick up our son (him, and their daughter and the other niece spent the night) and they were there before we got there and as soon as I sit down, she's asking me why we picked the names we did and if there were any others at all I liked....I should have said the name she has picked for their next if it's a girl, Scarlett Olivia. that wouldn't have pissed her off lol. I don't get why the sisters are so possessive of the names.... it drives me nuts. I told E our 3rd if it is a girl will be Raeliene, whether anyone likes it or not. if i wasn't so attached to Delanie/Delainey (I'm still arguing for the latter spelling lol) I would tell them to deal with it and name her that.

This happened with our first but we stuck to our guns and this time we haven't told anyone because we don't any "Where did you find that name" or "Who picked that name" everyone can find out when the baby is born
My neck/shoulders are in such pain today. It started last night and I thought it was the chair I was sitting in. I was fine this morning until I sat down to work. Now it is back and I'm just miserable. Anyone else?
We called the L&D hotline last night for our hospital hoping to speak to the on-call OB because I was a little bit concerned over the fact that the baby was having some abnormal behavior... he had hiccups like 6 times or something yesterday and was suddenly thrashing around violently for like half an hour... the OB wasn't available (understandable, could have been delivering a baby or who knows what)... that's not really my MBF, what is though is that no one ever called us back. Not even this morning.
I already feel stupid enough calling about things sometimes and maybe "my baby is hiccuping and moving like WAY MORE THAN NORMAL" sounds idiotic to an OB, but by not returning my call, it just makes me feel like the only reason I should ever call is if I'm hemorrhaging or something. Thankfully my doula called us back and was like, "You're just experiencing the baby transitioning from fetus to newborn baby size... if he wakes up and has hyperactivity, he's going to squirm around a lot and you're really going to feel it. I know it seems weird and new, but I swear it's very normal. As long as he's still moving this morning, things are likely okay." Very calming and quick to talk me down from my worry.
If we decide to have another child, I'm definitely not going to go with the same OB and hospital.
@canavara that really sucks and is so unprofessional. I called L&D over the weekend for probably an equally silly-sounding question (to an OB) and got a call back within like 3 minutes. To just ignore the call is totally unacceptable. I'm glad your doula called you and could put your mind at ease.

That's frustrating @canavara. Hopefully it was something that slipped through the cracks (whoever answered the phone never actually passed along the message to the OB or something?) and wasn't an intentional no call back.

See that's the annoying thing, it did happen with my son. it's so weird like his siblings seem to think that everything has to be okay'd through them. like I get they're all very close but it's irritating. with my son they all kinda threw a fit over Declan cause it didn't have a nickname, which was my issue too, but it was the only name I loved. we call him deckers now mostly. I really love it. now with the girl, I had three names I loved and SIL 1 threw a fit cause name #2 was too close to her daughters name. I wanted Averille nn Averie and nieces name is Avah. name #1 was Raeliene but something about too many rays in the family that have done bad things (all uncles/cousins). So that left Delainey. and while I don't like synchronized sibling names, I had Delainey picked LONG before I ever found Declan. and she's trying to say they're too close together. I'm like....not really, her NN is Lainey. ugh. just infuriating that they seem to think they have to have a say in everything. SIL #3 has the names Scarlett Olivia for another girl or Uriah Hunter for a boy.....I don't like ANY of those names, but I'm not gonna tell her she can't name her kids what she wants. and she's trying to do that. My fiance liked the name Lydia and I don't really at all and she loves it, so she keeps telling me, just name her Lydia....no. I don't like it, I'm not gonna name her something I wouldn't want to call her.
@sldp123@ashanne88 Agreed, pretty unprofessional. I'm guessing they just forgot to call back because of shift turnover and that it was pretty late or something like that and it slipped through the cracks. Frustrating still because they told us "30 minutes to an hour." I guess if it really had been super urgent, I'd have called back but still, not a very good excuse. I was able to call my OB's office this afternoon and got a callback from the nurse about an hour later, thankfully.

Ahh that must be terrible I'm sorry that you're having to argue with other people about what to name your own child you shouldn't have to maybe having a word with the SO will help?

We've talked about it, he doesn't even like dealing with her. he tries to avoid her as much as he can. I told him I can't handle her anymore. she's just gotten terrible since my son was born, like she has to be in charge. it's irritating. he barely sat with them at the party and that seemed to make her mad cause he's only worked at the place for about 2 weeks and he already is talking with a bunch of people whereas her husbands been there 2 years and only talks with people he works with. I was like tell her to be more social able then lol
I'm so late but want to complain. I to am tired of sex dreams I haven't had sex in over 6 months! I already left work at 36 weeks I couldn't take it anymore. But my mother omg my mother is so annoying! She's staying with me till Feb first and think shes helpful but she's not in the least bit.she talks really loud on the phone while I'm sleeping. She snores really loud she doesn't clean up after herself and she ask dumb questions daily plus act helpless. I've told her already she I have my baby in 9 days she has to go but she has not made any araingments. I'm exhausted all the time and my baby isnt even here yet.
