I sent my mom a text today saying "babyyyyy! Guess what I'm gonna have a baby and you're gonna be a grandma!!!" Just because it's all hitting me now. About 45 minutes later I realized that kind of made it sound like I was going into labor... Whoops. False alarm mom!
Why do my boobs look so good? Then I peed on a stick...
Luckily our hospital only allows baby daddy to stay overnight
Ours allows as many people as you want and doesn't have regular visiting hours-people can come and go all night.
Where do you live?? That sounds so awful!
I can have up to four people in the delivery room but not over nighters. There are also visiting hours an no one is allowed to just be in the halls of the family area. You have to be coming, leaving, or in a room. No waiting area.
I'm in Louisville, KY. Their thinking is that babies are born all hours of the day/night, so allowing visitors that may be coming in from a long distance just makes it all easier and they can come whenever they (or baby) gets here. Cute idea, but ugh. I hate my MIL, I was hoping to put some strong restrictions on her... She will be the entitled gma we are all talking about, but she has yet to call me or acknowledge me or this pregnancy since finding out. She's something else, that's for sure...
@Mamamonzo you better AW that cute baby!!!! After all the crazy ups and downs you had throughout that pregnancy you have every right to. And I'm sure I'm not the only RTTer who feels like they know this little man.
I met the lady who is doing my placenta encapsulation this morning. We didn't do it with DS and I'm so freaking excited to try it this time. FX it can help with PPA
April 2014 May Siggy Challenge: Funny Animals- Kangaroo Mating Ritual
I was all motivated to finish my Thank you cards because I said "Oh I can drop them off at the post office before I go see my friends tonight!" Too bad I don't have stamps...so now I want to procrastinate the rest til tomorrow...
Why do my boobs look so good? Then I peed on a stick...
Am I crazy to have gotten a white duvet cover? We have a white down comforter with a fleur de lis pattern on it, and I love it, but it's a bitch to wash/dry. I was thinking getting a white duvet cover would be good, so I could bleach it if necessary. Now I'm wondering if I made a huge mistake..
I personally have white sheets, towels and duvet for this reason- bleaching the shit out of them.
Seriously, are our babies just skipping the March BMB? We've got some attention whore babies! They do not care that technically it wasn't their turn!
Luke's weight dropped they wanted to start formula. Luckily the LC noticed my milk is coming in. Spent an hour with us. This whole time he actually has been nursing wrong! We got a nipple shield and now he's doing soooo much better! No formula for us!!
Ok btdt moms: I know we've gone over this a bunch of times, but which medela pump is the best? Originally I wasn't going to get a choice and had to get the freestyle. Now my insurance is changed and I can get one from BRU so I have all these options now. Which one is the best?
Another furbaby update: kitty ate some of his wet food AND ate his lysine treat. He's getting a weepy eye (symptom of herpes flare up) so I have a feeling it's a cold or allergies. I hope that he eats a couple more times today. It just seems like this happens, I take him into the vet, and he's fine. So FX he's feeling better!
Glad he ate something! Keep encouraging him to eat hopefully you can avoid the vet for now.
I'm watching "Look Who's Talking" on Netflix and realizing that almost everything I knew about pregnancy/birth was memories from this movie. I'm totally fucked.
Felt my first contraction...not fun. BHs are nothing compared to real contractions.
Aside from that... Is it normal for baby to hate it when I sleep on my left side? Last night I tried going to sleep on my left side, problem was I kept getting cramps and baby would just keep moving. So i flipped to my right side. I got no cramps and baby stopped moving. Could it be that he is more to the left and it just bugs him?
Just saw a commercial and kids were getting on the bus they were so small! I started to get anxiety.. Do we really have to go through these things!? He's not even out yet an I don't want to watch him leave on a bus!! (
September Siggy Challenge: What I Sing in the Shower: Little Mermaid "Part Of That World"
Some car was flashing their lights at me the other day and when I pulled over he informed me that both my brake lights and turn signal were not working. Got them fixed, but I'm still kind of freaked out about how long I may have been driving with that. All my driving is highway/freeway... Cars not knowing you are turning, changing lanes, or braking at 50+MPH, not good. Especially with baby on board! :O
DH has the norovirus really bad. He is now passed out in bed and I want to nap so bad too, but there is a toddler running crazy in my house
It's not fun at all, poor guy. The worst of it only lasts a few days, but be prepared, he isn't going to be right for a few weeks. My hubs had THE WORST gas for a week after he started feeling better. Like, corpses.
Wash your hands like crazy, keep the sheets clean, and down the vitamin C. You don't want to get it too!
As if I can't cause any more drama, I'm in l&d having contractions 2-4 minutes apart. I'm only at a 3, 75% effaced. I'm getting fluid to hopefully stop things from going any further.

I'm the opposite lol! I'm already thinking "Five years til she goes to school." "Eighteen years til she's out of the house." But my favorite: "Twelve more years and I never have to wash dishes again."
Psh a ten year old is more than capable of washing dishes. Don't short change yourself.
My almost 3 year old loves to help unload the dishwasher. We have our cabinets set up so that the bowls and plates go in a low cabinet next to the dishwasher. He started off at about 20 months pulling things out and handing them to us. Now he does that part all by himself, then hands us the stuff that goes in higher cabinets.

it is probably all that stress, try to relax and hopefully the fluid will help them stop. FX everything goes alright.

You can stop advertising pregnancy tests now. I am fairly certain there is a baby in there and I also own my weight in wondfo tests.
