My MIL, done.
I am not at pre pregnancy weight yet and I don't give a rat's arse.
Oh, can I post that 3 times today?
I could've scheduled an induction to better fit my schedule (none scheduled yet), but I'm hoping to go natural - no induction, no epi, nothing. Part of me wishes I didn't care so much about that, though, because now scheduling of grandparent visits is going to be difficult, too. They'll probably end up overlapping which means someone will need to get a hotel (they're both from out of town and my parents are making a cross country drive of it)... I don't want to make the decision on who has to do that.
I think I am finally reaching the irritable stage of pregnancy. All I want to do is sit in the sun with a beer and a cheeseburger (DH makes the BEST burgers!) and tell everyone to LET ME BE. Baby will come when baby's ready.

I wrote this all out last night but felt like I sounded like an ahole, so I deleted it.
I want my mom to stop checking up on me on a daily basis. I know she's doing it because she loves me, but would I really go into labor and not call her?! NO! I feel the same as yesterday, and now I'm just bothered by the fact that you've reminded me that I've figured out how to be patient and forget about it for a second. *kicks dirt*
JERRY JERRY JERRY!!!
I let my baby sleep on his stomach in my bed! Gasp! The horror.
Also, in true chubby girl fashion, I have a box of snacks in my night stand for during night time nursings.
Is there some kind of drama surrounding Emily right now with them? I know that my parents are much more attentive of my daughter right now than the baby, trying to make sure that she is feeling the love.
I'm going to sounds like a terrible person when I type this....
My mom has been since Wednesday and she brought my sister with her. My sister is 24 and mentally disabled. She was awesome on Wednesday and part of Thursday, but then the novelty wore off and my patience for her is gone. I am ok with my mom here, but I wish she hadn't brought my sister.
Ugh. I feel awful saying it, but it's just too much at this point. I'm ready for them to go.
and not so flame worthy- I really want newborn pics, but I just can't rationalize spending 800-1000 on them and that seems to be the going rate. I might let a new photographer who posted on cragislist take newborn photos for her portfolio in order to get them cheaper. If they suck we don't have to buy them anyway.
Oh where can I start? First, I think the freaking township should ask residents if they approve of putting a fire siren virtually in their backyard. Quite frankly I am not a fan being that they set it off twice last night and once again this morning, waking up the whole house! Honestly, can't they place it somewhere where there aren't babies?!?!
And I have to add that I am frustrated that DH apparently does not think I do enough around the house daily. My baby is not even 2 weeks old, I am getting used to my new sleeping patterns, I am also taking care of my 16 month old. I think a week or two to adjust to being home by myself should be ok. I am pretty sure he is joking about it most of the time, b/c it's not like our house is a mess (other than toys) or I am not keeping up on daily things (like dishes and laundry) b/c I am...but whatever, it just annoys me! Give me a break!
They just hated that I got pregnant with her. The entire pregnancy they called her "it". I honestly think it has to do with her being the second child. They are kinda mean to my older brothers daughter- never to his face but behind his back they try to ignore her and only mention his first born (son).
Speaking of which, I turned that on yesterday for the first time in I don't know how long and now Jerry kind of looks like a retired porn star.

He needs to give you a break. Make a list of things he needs to do around the house- mention that you just gave birth to his child. If you got stitches add that in for additional reasons why you need help.
You just had a baby- house guest are not needed at this point. Help maybe but if the guest need to be entertained how is that helping?
Why are newborn pics so expensive? I do not get it.
Oh man, I already missed him today. Retired porn star gets a
in my book, haha. I didn't realize he was still on TV!
Well for one, he is on duty tonight! I determined he can do nighttime feedings on Fridays, so hopefully a full night's sleep will get me energizied for the weekend!
I only paid $65 for our sitting fee and I get 50% off all prints (this photog was advertised on the bump, so I get the deal) and they start(full price) at about $15. I've budgeted $100-$150 to buy prints.
My FFFC: DD likes me more than DH. I never say this to him, but he goes so crazy when she cries that it makes her more upset. I try to make suggestions of how to help her, but her just gets frustrated and says 'I tried that!'
He also keeps trying the tommee tippee even though she hates it. Yet, everytime I hear her cry he has that damn bottle in her mouth!!
I was lucky enough to get a deal on LivingSocial - a two hour photography session, props provided, all pictures provided on a CD/DVD with full copyright release, plus 4 prints of our choosing for $55. The photographer just moved to our area and is trying to build up a base of customers. Her portfolio looks great. Now I just need a newborn for the photo shoot...

That is a really awesome deal! I am totally obsessed with Living Social/Groupon etc. I am pretty sure I buy something from one of those deals sites on average of once a week...needless to say, DH and I have plenty of certificates for date nights!!!
We have a stockpile of certificates, too... I love those deal sites!

I just pumped in attempt to move things along. My MW recommended it on Monday but I couldn't bring myself to do it until today. I'm supposed to do it 10 min/side every 2 hours but once milk started coming out, I got upset and stopped. I actually cried...strange.
I'm barely dilated and baby is way, way high which is why she suggested this. I can't have sex with DH because he is sick so that option is out. She won't let me go past Tuesday so I had to do something but I feel really strange about pumping. Not sure I can do it again in 2 hours.
As far as I know, milk is not produced until a few days after baby is born. What you're pumping out is colostrum (and you will make more for baby).
Pregnancy hormones are a real b!tch. If you're not comfortable doing it, don't!

Oh of course, colostrum. Maybe that is why it made me sad. That is meant for the baby, not to sit in my pump. I just don't want to be induced. I was stuck at 5cm with DS and they put me on the pump and I flew into active labor. I had such difficulty nursing DS that "wasting" any liquid gold bums me out. We'll see how I feel in a few hours.
I lied to my mom about when I am being induced. I don't want her to know because she will come to the hospital. The other day I had a painful contraction and she told me "breathe Megan". I looked at her and said STFU I am breathing!" I can't handle that in labor!
So only three people know besides DH and I ;my best friend, my grandma, and my sister (Who is watching the dog).
She will find out Wednesday morning when I post a picture of Emmalyn on FB announcing her arrival!
Oh, and I don't feel bad at all!!
My 70+ year old neighbor sits on her porch all day long, every day and calls out to me every time I go outside whether it's to put the kids in the car, get the mail or bring the garbage can up from the curb. She can seriously say "hi" to me and "you Ok" 5, 6, 7 times a day. She is old and lonely so I feel like a royal b**tch for even saying this but I do not want or have time to engage in conversation with her EVERY time I step out the front door. And now that Oliver is here she runs across the street asking to "see the baby" when I am carrying his car seat to and from the car.
I've tried making a quick, low profile escape through the garage or stepping out when I don't see her there but then she just comes over and rings the door bell or lurks in the garden in my front yard pulling up weeds, pruning dead flowers or whatever.
Sometimes I wish for rain or cold weather just so she will stay inside for awhile.
Come back next week and see if you've got the same story. Things change day to day with my little guy... the first week was way easier than the last couple. Once he "woke up", he's been way more demanding and doesn't just pass out after night time feeds.
My confession: I love the attention I've got for going out (with the baby) so quickly. I'm sure that's about to wear off, but I totally loved every single "You're out already! You look so good!"

I get the sister thing. My uncle has cerebral palsy and he lives with us so we can take care of him. Its hard. You aren't a bad sister for feeling that way. Just human. My dad is exasperated a lot with his brother.

I am waiting for the other shoe to drop. With #1 it was at about 3 weeks but this kid is so different (she eats, Jack didn't so that was a struggle). I had a c/s and was out of the hospital 36 hours later. I am 30 lbs. lighter than I was when I got pregnant. I like this so far.
<-------- yep

My OB is only letting me go until Tuesday because I am showing some signs of pre-e. I am on bed rest until then, so he suggested pumping. I was kind of scared because I figured if I pumped for a few days, my milk could come in and my baby would miss out on the colostrum. I have been looking for info on this and have found nothing, so I don't think there is any harm in it. I am going to try it today and see, but I can totally see where you are coming from. I don't think I would be able to do it every 2 hours.
