I'm so ready! Lets do this!

I am not counting caffeine mg anymore. I just drink as I please now. I am a total diet soda junkie and I've been living it up last week!

This just inspired me to have a second cup of coffee. Wed night I had a full glass of wine and some Italian deli meats that were being passed around as an antipasta - and it was delicious!

Breastfeeding secretly skeeves me out. I get it's the best thing for the baby, and I am going to try my hardest to do it of course. But it still completely grosses me out - just the whole idea of it. I don't know why, but milk coming out of my boobs? ew.

I took the day off work because I didn't sleep and am in all kinds of achy pain. I'm five days past due I was so looking forward to going to the community indoor pool and just floating on my belly for like an hour to relieve ask of the pressure. I'm irrationally upset that there is a major thunderstorm right now and the pool will be closed.

Cantw82bamom · October 2012

1. I sit at work on the bump and craigslist not really getting much done...

2. I am borderline rude to the annoying guys who come up and want to tell me how big I am and how I must be ready to pop, and that they are ready (squatting down in a "catch the baby" stance.... -_-

jenmccon · October 2012

Ok here goes. I caved yesterday and took castor oil at 730am. By 530pm I was in awful pain. Woohoo, I thought! It's working!! Umm... no. No it wasn't. From 6 to 8 I was experiencing the full force of what castor oil is actually intended for. And it's NOT to have a baby!!! Needless to say, I am still very much pregnant, about 10 lbs lighter, and REALLY thirsty!!! Embarrassed

Lesson learned. And little man is all active and bouncy in there today. I think he's mocking me. LOL

Sarelnad · October 2012

Oh one more: I seriously watch a tv show targeting teens (Vampire Diaries) b/c the guys on it are so crazy hot. Soooo hot

thetwinkies&Vivi · October 2012

I let DD1 play happily and quietly in her crib for a bit after waking this morning because I was tired and my bed felt so warm and comfy.

I also let her eat Cheetos in the car yesterday after vowing never to have messy snacks.

Im quickly learning to never say never concerning parenting. If it keeps your kid quiet and happy,doesn't hurt them,and makes getting things done easier; then woohoo!

CLLDLL · October 2012

DS1's suppers since we've been home from hospital:

microwave breakfast sandwich and grapes

spaghetti o's

pork chops & rice that my mom made

chicken noodle soup that MIL made

McDonalds happy meal

Subway sandwich

Gyros made from pre-cooked meat

Chicken nuggets & fries

I think I'd better start planning meals again instead of feeding him whatever's easiest!!

Mrschica · October 2012

Gonna stay away from the subject of pregnancy, because frankly, I am too frustrated after not sleeping at all last night.

i get really stabby when people complain that Obama has deported "too many illegal immigrants". Really?! I'm an immigrant, I had to jump through HOOPS and pay a FORTUNE to get where I am today for the last 10 years. I pay my taxes and still have NO RIGHTS because I'm not a citizen... What makes you think illegal immigrants have a RIGHT to be here? Yeah, immigration laws should be revised, but don't tell me that you disagree with Obama because he is deporting people!

My protein intake this trimester has sucked. Also, I think there is a lot of stupid on the 3rd tri board.

Sillygirl85 · October 2012

Right now, I hate breastfeeding. It seems like every time I start to think it's going well he decides not to latch. It's so frustrating. And it makes me feel like a bad mom because I can't get it right for him.

that was me earlier this week. i switched back to pumping to up my supply. don't feel bad! you're trying!

my confession is that my husband invited our best friends to come over tonight, i'm so tired from a week full of no sleep and company over that I wanna think of a reason to cancel...

I could have written this post today. There is a lot of stupid on 3rd tri, I have stopped lurking over there. This board is so much more useful and way friendlier.

My FFFC: I am deathly afraid of c-sections. I know there is a VERY very very small chance that I will actually need one but surgery scares the sh!t out of me. Every surgery I have ever had has been an emergency and has had complications. That is the only thing that scares me now, I am not afraid of labor or having a newborn but the idea of a c section? It is almost crippling.

tatercater · October 2012

Yesterday, someone posted about eating cheesecake, and I couldn't stop thinking about it. I mentioned it to DH and he came home with an entire cheesecake. I ate 2 pieces. And that was my dinner.

I don't even feel bad.

Olivebeinmamma · October 2012

I had half a monster this morning... Embarrassed

I dont even like them but DH was drinking it and I asked for a sip just for the fiz and ended up drinking half of it... it tasted so yummy today.

I felt the same way after DD... and then it didnt matter but now TMI... when MH goes for my nips during sexy time I giggle a little bit... yep they are no longer sex tools lmao

I just wanted to let you know it's not really that bad. I can understand being afraid because you've had surgeries with complications before, and that makes everything more scary, but my c section went really well and recovery wasn't too bad. I think in a lot of cases our fear makes things worse. If you do happen to need one, try not to panic and know that it really isn't that bad. I'm even planning to do a repeat c section when we conceive #2 because of how easy it was on me.

rhodesign · October 2012

I confess that I had a coke last night and a half-decaf salted caramel latte this morning, and I'm okay with this. I don't drink a ton of caffeine anyway, and I usually try to limit it to 1-2 caffeine drinks per week, but lately I can't sleep well and have about two f@*&!s left to give.

I also have eaten bacon, hot dogs, and the occasional deli sandwich as well. Wanna know where the listeria outbreaks have been this year? Salads. I happily still eat those, so why not the others?

I confess I'm a bit jealous of my friend who was due two days before me and delivered yesterday. I have an appointment in 30 minutes and I secretly wish he would find a reason to induce me, though I really don't want to be induced. I'm a contradiction to myself.

I also confess that I wore yoga pants to work today because my work pants are dirty and it's too cold for scrubs. I'm not working clinic and am just in the office today, so there goes that last f@*&!

Whew! I feel better.

nycgirl88 · October 2012

Although I said I wouldn't do it, LO has slept with me in bed almost every night since he got home. We have a bassinet in our room but everytime we put him in it, he screams. Even if he is sleeping, he'll only last 10 minutes before he wakes up crying. I know it is dangerous but I usually feed LO laying down and we both fall asleep. He managed to have 2 4 hour stretches the last night which was amazing!!!! I know I have to stop doing it, but this tired mama is doing what works right now!

lady dixneuf · October 2012

I easily drink over 300 mg of caffeine daily. Easily.

oh well. The evidence that it is harmful is nil.

tatercater · October 2012

wonknessmonster:

At my gestational diabetes appointment yesterday I said "I have a question about post-delivery" and the Dr. said, "Oh, you haven't had the talk" and proceeded to tell me about how my blood sugar was going to be monitored and the baby's and the follow up visits at 6 weeks.

I said, "Actually, I would like to know how soon I can eat cake."

Your priorities sound just like mine.

beege17 · October 2012

It's my first day of maternity leave due to my dr putting me on bedrest yesterday. I was planning on working until next friday. But I slept until 9 and now I'm lounging around watching TV, and plan on doing so for a majority of the day...I definitely am not upset that I get a few days off work before my life turns around and I have a LO to take care of.

schmidters10 · October 2012

I LOLed at some of these. I am with some of you I have eaten the occassional deli sandwich and it was dang good. Along with my recent craving for hot dogs.

As for the cheesecake comment. I also seen it yesterday and had avoided the 3 pieces in my fridge for a week...ya they didnt last 5 mins after reading that. Dh got mad cause I even ate his blueberry piece.

Mine def is I am getting super jealous of all my friends that were due the same day or after me and have had there babies already. I had 3 girlfriends from college that were due after me and 3 friends from home that were due either the same day as me or after and they have all had their LO's already. 2 don't bother me so much because 1 was twins and 1 was medical induction. But come on give me a break. The other 4 were at least a week if not 2 weeks after me.

There are safe ways to bed share. No shame in getting sleep. You don't have to stop if you're taking the proper precautions and its working for your family. Trust your instincts mama.

Starry Again · October 2012

I napped on the couch this morning holding DD propped up. It was literally the ONLY thing that would calm her. What is flammable is I don't feel guilty, but I am hiding it from DH. He freaks about SIDS which I understand, but sometimes with a newborn survival mode prevails.

My in laws are coming again today for the weekend and my only feeling is dread.

misscheapandchic · October 2012

I never remember to take my vitamins. I feel a little guilty for doing so but at this point if I remember to brush my teeth it's a good day.
I skip over all the "am I in labor?" Posts and wish people would stop answering them. If your first thought is "I should consult the Internet" then you're not in labor or are in very early labor and have a while to go!

nealbl · October 2012

We are having breakfast at our house Sunday with my parents Brother his wife and my squishy nephew.

When SIL asked what to bring I said OJ we are totally having mimosas!

Thank you. I had forgotten about my vitamins. And I think its a good day when I get a chance to shower.

It's nice to hear this perspective. My MIL was an immigrant but came over as a child and didn't go through the process of becoming a citizen until about 4 years ago (I had already met DH). I have a friend that married a man from another country and I know how hard it was for her to get him here, even after they were married. I don't know all the details, but I know it took at least 2 years after they were married for all the paperwork to go through for him to come to the United States.
It irritates me to see people work so hard to go through all the right steps and take all the time and see how many people are here illegally. I live in an area that has a very high number of illegal immigrants, many of whom don't even bother to learn English (which I find especially obnoxious if they have kids because their kids don't get any support to help them in school) and just expect everyone to cater to them in terms of communication. Living in the area that I do has made me incredibly prejudiced against the people here (which isn't good either!).

i COMPLETELY agree. My parents are immigrants and came legally, learned English, and worked their butts off to make it. My DH has been here 8 years and it has been such a process getting his green card and citizenship, even after coming legally via work and us being married. If they could do it legally, why should other people get to skip the rules?

nealbl · October 2012

I have another one. As new girls show up on 3rd tri saying finally I am in 3rd tri, I just feel really sorry for them and happy for myself that I am not them

Agreed! And it makes it so much harder and longer to bring loved ones here the legal way because of the ones doing it illegaly.

Edit: I brought my husband here a year ago and took us almost a year to get hin here. Luckily I did it all myself so saved us some money. Visajourney was a great help for anyone that might need it.

We bedshared with DS until he was 6 months old and then transitioned him to his crib in his room with no problem. Now at 2 years old, he will not sleep in our bed. Go with what is working, just make sure you are taking the proper precautions.

Agreed. These breastfeeding classes and Babywise books aren't making it any better either. They're all "you'll be so exhausted that you'll fall asleep on the toilet...you might have bloody nipples, but it'll get better eventually, probably." I wanna cry thinking about it.

StefanieM522 · October 2012

My FFFC is that I am secretly hoping that I can't breastfeed. I know that sounds bad but none of the other women in my family have been able to due to there milk never coming in. But I think I want it to happen because I know it will piss my MIL off and I really want to.

Also I gave up on the caffeine count a long time ago. I needed some release to deal with the stupidity that I have to deal with on a daily basis.

WenchHeart · October 2012

I want to get pregnant again just so I can join the tri-boards. Lol they have been pretty entertaining now, and weren't that way when I actually belonged on them. Back then they were a total bore/ghost town.

While I was about to put baby in his bassinet for a nap, I notice the cat in it. So I walked all the way up stairs with baby so I wouldn't disturb the cat.

Agree with all this and surprised at the number of people on this board who have had similar situations. It makes me stabby thinking of how much money we ended up spending (and continue to spend) to make my H a resident and eventually a citizen. And the amount of time I spent putting together the paperwork to prove our relationship was legit was ridiculous.

My FFFC: I totally plugged H's nose this morning to make him wake up when LO was fussy in her bassinet after the 6am feeding. I knew she wasn't going to sleep soundly and if H heard he would take her downstairs. I feel slighly bad because it worked and he got up even though he was tired too... but those almost 2 hours of uniterrupted sleep afterwards were heavenly and I'll probably do it again.

LMAO
