I need to poop so bad, and it's not happening. I'm jealous of all the poops.

@mamamonzo - I rarely washed the actual tubes because they really shouldn't be getting anything in them. I never pumped more than once a day so I can't speak to combining them. Try the stupid questions thread, lots of BFers are checking in there.

Eat all the dates!!!

Well, that Chinese food should make you poop. It always does for me.

DH wants pizza tonight but I really want Chinese now

Okay I'm all for nursing in public etc, but this just doesn't seem right/safe LOL

She probably heard breast feeding helps melt the weight away so.. Kill two birds!

@Mamamonzo‌

I would run the pump not attached to anything for a minute or two to help dry out any excess moisture that accumulated in it.

You can combine milk from different sessions- just make sure that when combining milk that you try to make sure that there is a combo of foremilk and hindmilk rather than all foremilk from multiple sessions

@aviola329 that is coordination at it's finest!

Congrats @aronie82! Pics pics pics!!

@nikki912‌ and @poru‌

If I pump should I put it in the fridge right away and then the next session combine the cold and freshly pumped?(I'm feeding on one boob pumping on the other, flip flopping each session) does that make sense? He's getting all the pumped milk in the same day, it's never sitting more than 8 hours.

Gotta love the premie aspect and having swallowing issues and palate issues (that's why we are breast and bottle.

@ColleenSwerb‌ yes I got a belly binder! In Love!! It's helped so much!

I think what you're doing sounds good! I'm sorry for the other issues- they will get better as baby gets older

Mamamonzo · March 2014

I'm having half a beer tonight!! \:D/

KatieGummow · March 2014

@Vinny424‌, anything for you, boo! They've been pretty good/easy so far, so I think i will make it another 3 weeks, no problem.

pineconey · March 2014

DH is working later than he anticipated (yay overtime) but I have to leave in 3 minutes for a meeting that goes til 9. *sigh* I always miss him so much by the end of the week!

sking72 · March 2014

My SO is more concerned that the dog is puking than the fact that I've been crampy and feeling like crap all day. TP to him big time.

rockstarlaw · March 2014

We got the diaper bag today. SO is THRILLED. I have never seen a man so thrilled about a bag before. I hope he remembers this the next time I want a high-end purse.

Another hospital bag question... I was going to pack just one suitcase for h and me (and almost empty diaper bag for baby). It is a large carry on on wheels. Will I look ridic? I have some Vera duffles but I find them hard to find stuff in and they don't have enough pockets.

Also am I foolish to only have one bag or should I have a pre and post labor bag? The hospital we are at is pretty big and the lot is far away and I don't want to make h have to schlep out there once the baby is born.

Sorry if this should have gone in the stupid questions thread.

I think whatever you can fit your stuff in is fine. I only pack one bag for myself. I literally only take clothes and toiletries lol. My hospital provides almost everything for baby and I, and I only live half a block from the hospital. Even so, I think a lot of moms over pack and don't understand the necessity of two bags.

He only reason I ended up with two bags is because I decided to bring my super fluffy robe and I couldn't get everything else to fit with that In the bag. Otherwise I would have just one carry on sized bag.

DH can't find the hardware to put the crib together. The crib had been discontinued and the parts aren't sold anymore. This could be one costly mistake. :-w

Seems like lots of us are pooping again! @mamamonzo fixed us!

I have in fact been on a regular schedule the last few days! It all makes sense now!

kseccomb17 · March 2014

@jellysparkles I called the manufacturer to get our options and the lady I talked with just said nope, and talked to me like I'm stupid! lol. Maybe I will try again and hopefully get someone helpful. It's better than having to buy a complete crib again when we have one in great shape, just can't find the screws. It wasn't recalled and is only about three years old.. hopefully they can send us something.

kseccomb17 · March 2014

OMG I take that back. He just found it all after looking for two weeks. It was like an act of God.. orrrr The Bump Gods. Yayy!

Sisimama10 · March 2014

My and DD's amazing pinkalicious creations!

eireyes · March 2014

Ugh - sneezing is downright painful...

Sisimama10 · March 2014

What is going on with my belly?! Yesterday he definitely dropped because all of a sudden my belly sticks straight out like a shelf. He's still head down because the dr could even feel his head at my check, but wow my belly looks 1000X bigger. I even hit one of my students in the head with my belly today because I'm not used to it being doubled in size! Those three year olds better watch out. They are at a dangerous height being eye level with the belly!

The South Park video game is hilarious.. So graphic. It's like a bunch of mini shows. I do wish I was in vodka state of mind while playing though.

Do you think it's inappropriate for a 12 year old, who's not allowed to watch the show? I want to get him that game so I can play it!

We thought we would let DSS play and he's 12 but after further review... Nope! One level is getting smashed by hairy balls and big boobs while she's getting done from behind screaming "fu*k me harder you pus*y" lol soooooooooooo, up to you.
Like I said its graphic!

DH is a good egg. He came home last night and was saying that the company Oriole's tickets came in. The girl who handles it said Oh! The Pirates are coming into town! He asked her to put his name down since he got screwed out of tickets last year. She said "wait, when is Colleen due again....?" He said end of April. She goes "you're not gonna believe it...."

Poor guy. My EDD is 4/26 and the Pirates are in town 4/29 and 4/30. He told her not to bother. I told him he should still put his name down and he refused. "What if you go into labor while I'm at the game? Or if he or she is already here?!"

If you go into labor during the game then id say the team and the babe will have a special bond for life cause what are the odds! He can always leave the game and run to the hospital, movie style!

KatieGummow · March 2014

She really is an amazing person.

Sisimama10 · March 2014

I do not remember it being this hard to move, get up and get around while I was pregnant withDD.

irisheyez7 · March 2014

Spent my day at the ER. I developed a large abscess on my left leg/buttocks that apparently became infected. Went to my OB and she freaked and sent me in. Due to being VERY pregnant they couldn't put me under so I had to have it incised and drained with nothing but a shot of lidocaine. That my friends hurt like a BITCH. He did give me 2 norco afterwards but nothing more for pain but freaking tylenol.

I am starting to get nervous about how this is going to feel when the numbness wears off :-(

Little girl needs to stay put for a while so mama can heal up before she makes her grand entrance! What a flipping day!!!

kseccomb17 · March 2014

@irisheyez7‌ sorry about your day. hopefully you feel better now that the infection has been drained. That sounds terrible. Rest up, if you can. Sending thoughts and prayers that you have done relief.

Ditto to this- They'd get a little steamy so I'd leave the pump running a couple minutes to dry them out. I don't think I ever rinsed them.

@irisheyez7 hope you feel better!

I was at target today and when I walked in the greeter goes "aw when are you due?" Me: first part of April Greeter: oh bless your heart. Well at least you are almost there. I feel like this if strangers are going to comment on your pregnancy this is how they should all do it.

You know you're in Texas/the south when...

Congrats @aronie82! Can't wait to see pictures!

Happy thing of the day: my husband and I went out to eat before our birthing class tonight, and when the hostess seated us, there was an empty booth between us and another couple. I noticed a little while later that a server walked by to take a drink order from the booth that was originally empty! So this means the guy was seated after us but got his drink order taken first, and I had been noticing it was taking a while for someone to come by our table even though it wasn't that busy. I got up and politely informed the hostess that no one had taken our drink order yet, and a manager came by and gave us a free appetizer. Score! <:-P

I was going to post an annoyance of the day, but I'll wait on that until tomorrow if it doesn't get situated by tomorrow... Be thankful. :P

spano41 · March 2014

@ColleenSwerb‌ I have a similar situation. DH is a HUGE royals fan but we live in Seattle so he gets to see them once a year and always tries to go to every game when they're in town. It's a big deal for him. Two years ago we picked the one weekend they were here to get married so he missed all of the games, last year they came in Sept right when I was in the height of morning sickness so I got sick and made DH leave early, and this year I'm due the week before they come. I'm hoping he will at least get to go to one of the games since there are 4. Worst case scenario is either the baby won't be here and I'll go into labor during the game or we will have a 4 day old and he will go alone. I'm hoping to make it work out for him since he has missed the past two years. Anyway.... long story. It's sweet your DH is willing to give up baseball to be there for you!

spano41 · March 2014

@irisheyez7‌ that sounds horrible! I hope you feel better soon!

sking72 · March 2014

I better just be irritated with SO right now because the only other reason I can think of that I am awake still past midnight, vacuuming the house and doing the dishes is that final surge of energy before labor starts that we talked about in our class.

I also really want to eat cookies and candy right now, but if my energy fades and I want to go to bed, I don't want to be spitting them up in my sleep. Tough decisions right here.

mrscrcalli · March 2014

This kid is jumping rope with his umbilical cord. It's the only logical explanation I can come too.

BE NICE PLEASE LO!
