@jennbaylor12‌ I hear that walking and sex actually work, but I think it's probably still a matter of baby coming when she's ready. But I'm getting pretty miserable and this is entertaining me while DH plays video games. Can't hurt, right? I guess we'll know it did something if I go into labor tonight. :-)

Sex worked for me! I gritted my teeth the entire time. Lol.

So now that I'm finally healing well, the circumstances of Jack's birth are finally hitting me. I didn't go in with a plan because I figured anything could happen.

What I didn't plan on happening was being so exhausted/drugged up during my eventual section that I passed out and missed his birth. I spent most of the evening ugly crying about all the memories I missed, like his first cry and seeing DH hold him for the first time. That whole first night is such a haze. I feel like I'd handle it better if I had had to have been put under for a reason, but it was just me not being strong enough to stay awake.

AW: I got peed on to get this shot but totally worth it!

@legallyginger‌ - fwiw, I had a completely unmedicated labor, and I STILL feel like I have no idea exactly what happened upon LO's arrival. I barely remember anything! DH keeps mentioning random things (like about who was in the room or who said what,) and I keep being like, "what? That happened?" So...I'm just trying to say you probably wouldn't remember lots even if your labor had gone otherwise. Don't beat yourself up about it. :-)

My BSC mother is here and just told me my kid has gas because he's not wearing socks.

GO HOME.

This completely blows my mind that she thinks this. How does that work? Is it an Old-wives tale I've never heard?

Fuck me. We are doing 40min minimum nursing sessions an hour apart. Fuck. Me.

I wanted to clean the house toooodddaaaayyyyy!!!

That was pretty much most of last night for us. DH didn't think it was normal for them to eat like that, but I assured him it is. I'm a little scared for this first week of being home alone with all three kids.

But you know what? It's okay to be sad. It's okay to grieve those things you missed.

Yes, a healthy baby is the most important part. But to say it's the only thing that matters is wrong, bc that completely dismisses the mom.

So, hugs. I'm sorry you missed those moments. I'm happy you have a million more memories to make with your boy, but I'm sorry you missed those first few moments.

So much this!

Hugs to both of you, tallash and legallyginger.

And in other news, MH is super anxious to finish the stairs before LO comes (they are framed and walkable but the actual treads aren't in).

Problem is the treads need to be varnished before installation and even with the woodstove going in his shop it has been too cold for varnish to cure.

So MH said fuck this and is varnishing the treads inside, downstairs, with both stoves cranking on full (wood and pellet) and all sorts of windows open. I am upstairs on the couch cuddled under a blanket with multiple windows open and a pretty good cross breeze. It is 15F outside.

Pretty sure it's too late in the game for varnish fumes to hurt LO but if he comes out with two heads we'll know why!

I'm having a very emotional/moody moment...
Yesterday we had a birthday party for my grandma. Lots of family members got to see the twins for the first time. I hardly got any time with them at all!
Today DHs family is over. No kids for me again. Ooh and I have to leave my normal pumping station and take all my things to the bedroom and leave them with the twins for 20 minutes while I pump. I'm just sitting here hooked up listening to them enjoy themselves and my kids! I freaking hate it!!!
MIL took K to feed her and I said I don't even remember the last time I fed her and she said too bad...you can later!

I'm ready to cry, scream, and have a meltdown like a 2 year old!!!!

nblondheim · March 2014

I'm another one with a very unplanned birth story with lots of hospital bed rest, early delivery, c section, no baby cries, not getting to see both babies right away, NICU babies etc. I knew it was coming and almost grieved beforehand but to this day, it still sucks!!!

And unfortunately some people just don't get it!

I would pay three times as much for Netflix if it would stream Boy Meets World, Home Improvement, Full House, and Friends.

I heard that Boy Meets World will almost never be available on DVD or other stuff because the cost of the music rights would be insane because each episode features such amazing songs. Not sure if it's true or not... if so, it's super sad because it was my favorite show!

@chalephoto does Netflix show older tv series in general? I was thinking of getting it once the baby is born for something to do while BF....

Thats how its been for me for the past two weeks.
I only get mia when she is hungry.

Confession: it's 4:30pm and I'm still in bed. I can't hang til 2 am watching tv like I used too, especially when this little guy doesn't cooperate with the whole sleeping thing

AnonymousMotherOfOne · March 2014

@nblondheim‌ I honestly believe that if my MIL (or anyone but MH, for that matter) tried to tell me I wasn't allowed to hold my child I would have a serious BSC mom moment all over them. That isht does not fly with me. >:/ I'm sorry that happened to you. ::hugs::

lnvane00 · March 2014

Can I please start writing 'who are you' instead of 'congrats' on birth announcements and stories? I feel stabby and annoyed when someone has to share their birth story and they have seriously only had one post... maybe I'm just jealous. Idk.

jh&kh · March 2014

Buying groceries for your husband while pregnant is apparently a no-no. While picking up the coffee creamer (I've never been a coffee drinker so literally it was only for my husband) I was rudely reminded by a stranger that "you should not be drinking coffee while pregnant". Umm ok lady, thanks for the incorrect and unsolicited advice. I can only imagine what she would have said when she saw me picking up the case of beer two aisles later...

I'm with you. If you haven't been here for the past nine months, or at least intro'd when we invited the lurkers out to play, sorry, but IDGAF about your birth story. Not that I'm a jealous heartless bitch or anything like that.

Seconded

I got three hours of uninterrupted sleep. It was amazing.

pepperedmoth · March 2014

@Jt7dreamz‌, any update?

legallyginger · March 2014

Jack has more or less been awake since 2pm, every time he drifts off he wakes himself back up and immediately is starving again. We finally broke down and asked my mom for help, and she held him so we could at least eat dinner. He finally just went down after downing 4oz of formula.

Please, please, please stay asleep for a while little guy. Mommy is at her wits end.

Family on both sides will not stop hounding us about baptism. I'm sorry, we had twins born early, weight issues, and one hospitalized with RSV. We have every intention of baptizing them but arranging things has not been high on our priority list. Stop asking, we will let you know when we have a date. And crazy grandmother, I am capable of finding my own church. I don't need you contacting pastors 45 min away from where I live and giving them my contact information.

karacakes98 · March 2014

I'd take my hubby working long hours to being unemployed.

Just sayin'.

saisongbird · March 2014

Once again, my body is playing mean tricks on me. I think they're contractions - cramping, pelvic pain, but I can talk through these. I always thought you couldn't talk through contractions? So I haven't been timing them and now I'm wondering if I should have been.

Good Luck ladies. I hope your contractions progress and you get to meet your LO's soon.

ProudMommy030614 · March 2014

@WisconsinCheese12‌ I have had a rough weekend. Starting Friday at my appointment I had a 10 pound weight gain in a week protein in my pee. Had to do a 24 hour urine monitoring labs and a BPP. I have pre-e again. I had it with both other pregnancies. Onnsaturday I finally break down and agree to an induction and the on call doctor didnt want to do it! So now I have a NST tomorrow and we go from there. I just feel like a ginormous puffer fish and am miserable

thanks for asking about me

and your baby is beautiful

amdecker1016 · March 2014

I officially have mia in her pnp for bed.
I just need to tell my anxiety that.
I want to check in her every five minutes.

benevolentforce · March 2014

I'm so behind on this thread (as usual).

@legallyginger‌ *hugs*
@ntdane My mom kept pushing on the baptism thing, and I finally just had to tell her to stop bringing it up along with any other religious commentary. She still brings things up, but at least I can just remind her that it's all off the table and change subjects.
@ ladies with contractions Good luck! I hope they progress!

ntdane · March 2014

@benevolentforce‌, our first son was baptized so it baffles us why people are acting this way. It doesn't help that DH and I are different religions, though not far off and the same baptism is recognized by both churches. If we go through DH's church some members of my family may stop talking to me, including my grandmother. That just makes us want to do it there more (and we probably would have anyway because his church is local and the nearest one for me is 45 min away).

@amymheidecker‌, how did Mia sleeping in the pnp go?

@ProudMommy030614‌, good luck with everything today!
