Curious question to moms with outside babies: when did you first stop back at the bump to update/read/love tit when you had them? And how many times on the day of the birth did you do this?
I am being half snarky, but also half serious. I feel like she's posting so much, but at the same time I don't remember how long it took you ladies to get back on the RTT or to post your story in relation to birth/labor/whatnot, and even if it was in the middle of a push that you did, I wouldn't have side eyed you like I'm side eyeing her (judgemental I know, but being honest)
About 12 hours later when DH was sleeping and Luke was in his cribs an I was WIDE awake sitting in the dark. I couldn't figure out how to work the TV lol!
Cluster fucking feeding, and a clogged duct.
My boobs and nipples feel like they are going to fall off. Luke has been super clingy today. We're in for a rough night!
When I was first pumping for DD I got these really bad scabs over my whole nipples and I seriously thought my nipples were falling off because the skin would be really raw underneath! Total panic attack moment. So glad it was only a temporary problem.

LOL wow you guys really hate her eh? I feel bad. I'll be 'that person' I guess.
I don't hate her. I find her a little extreme with things that make it a little to easy to snark but atleast she "goes here".
I can see why she's a snark target, but she's generally pretty sweet and handles the ribbing well so I try not to give her a hard time. And yeah, she does "go here" and isn't a crazy, aggressive GBCBing random. She gets credit for that in my book. The same posts from a complete stranger with an attitude would get to me a lot more.

Cluster feeding sucks, but nursing is the best way to clear a clogged duct, that a massage the clog toward the nipple, in the shower if possible. Hugs to you.

Ok this is no longer fun anymore. This kid is big and her movements are becoming increasingly painful and uncomfortable! It seriously feels like she is simultaneously trying to claw her way out of the top of my uterus and head butt her way out of my cervix!
I edited my post to fix the link... Apparently the photographer updated it to her birthday right after I posted!
So I FTFY in your quoted post.
ETA I'm wonderful! Considering the lengths we went through to get that baby out of me, I'm recovering quite well. We're being discharged tomorrow around 11am (that's the goal) - Holy shit balls, I have 2 kids now!!

Forgot to mention our water heater broke this morning!! I was planning on a hot shower to help this along! What a nightmare!!!

That stinks that your hot water heater broke. Since you don't have a working hot water heater, you can heat some water on your stove and use a hot water bottle, hot compress, or a heating pad. I hope you get some relief soon. I know how uncomfortable they are.

So, we have neighbors two units up in our condo building that we know are Heroine dealers. They moved in a couple of years ago. Earlier this week, one of them was evicted. Now, the police are pounding on their door with a warrant to search the residence.
So excited for them to GTFO so I can be more comfortable spending time out there with my kids when I'm on Maternity leave.

I'm cluster feeding my own face... Can I party too?
Me too! Well, I was. I just ran out of M&M's and milk. Luckily, DH is going to go for a quick drive to the store (primarily so that he can see if the police have made it into the condo they're trying to search) he's going to pick up more for me!

So, maybe this is a stupid question, but... Can you really go from a 6 to pushing in 15 mins? Everyone I've known has taken I really long time to progress to 8.
It's definitely possible, I went from 7cm to baby on my chest in 10 mins.
~Missed MC at 8 weeks. D&C at 12 weeks on 4/17/13~
Crabby time needs to be at 1 pm not 1 am. The girls took over my spot in bed. Not pleased. Plus Evelyn keeps farting and waking herself up. I just want to sleep!

This is my dream. Took me 13.5 hours to get to 6 cm, then they broke my water and I was at 10 within 30 minutes. Took me 1.5 hours to push him out.

Quick update on the neighbor drama. There are four police in helmets, carrying AK47's and they have a warrant for someone's arrest. They've been pounding on the door for 30 minutes, but haven't gone in yet. Clearly they are expecting someone who is armed and dangerous.

Well, one of the people that lives there just pulled up in his car. The police are talking to him, and still trying to get the other guy out of the house. Apparently the driver of the vehicle is not he person they're looking for.
We were watching a movie, but it has been paused for a long time now. The neighbor drama is much more interesting.

Looks like the driver was called in to help run interference. He spoke the cops for a few minutes, then called up to the condo and the occupant came out and left in handcuffs. The police and the driver all left, drama over.

I love neighbor drama! We live in a large complex and for like a week the sheriffs police were trying to serve a warrant to someone the next set of buildings over! We watched it like a soap opera until they finally got their man!

I have been trying to win stupid moccasins on IG for weeks for the baby... Today they announced a winner for one giveaway and the stupid bitch has won three pairs this week. THREE. THIS WEEK. I don't know her, but I hate her.

Ok I know someone was JUST talking about this a day or two ago... I got woken up twice tonight choking on my own acid. Scared the shit out of me! What was the pill people started using when this happened?
Because that was scary and needs to NOT happen anymore!!
(Edited because my fingers are too fat to type everything without getting submit-happy first)

It is really scary! I had it happen 2 nights ago! Oreo cookies and milk was the culprit! I take pepcid (generic famotidine) before dinner and it has helped immensley! Good luck! Heartburn is a bitch!!!!
That was the most intense thing I've ever endured. Thank you, RTT. I love you all. I will write a birth story at some point. I love my little squish so much.
Omg what on earth has happened here! I am mia for 2 days handing over to my replacement, and there is like 1000 posts, 14 birth announcements, and @twirple is having neighbourhood drama! How oh earth can I catch up!
PS did I ever tell you about the time DH was held hostage...
Angel baby June 2013, DD born 22 April 2014, BFP 10 Sept 2015 - Due 22 May 2016
I just woke up with a dream that SO was standing in the doorway to the room, staring at me, super mad at me and yelled, "you need to stop sleeping..." Now I'm laying here like that was a dream right?! Because that would be creepy as hell.
PS did I ever tell you about the time DH was held hostage...
No but please share... Pregsomnia, going on 3 hours strong here...
Pregsomnia sux!!
Ok so a few years ago for DH birthday I decided to shout him a hair style, colour and close shave (using a cutthroat razor ...) from this new male grooming place that opened up. It looked very upscale and had good reviews. I dropped him off, met the hairdresser, then left him too it, going back an hr later to pick him up.
When I arrived to collect him, I saw all these people outside, including the hairdresser. Walking up to them I noticed the cop cars... I called out to the hairdresser asking what was going on. He said the owner had gone crazy and was holding a customer hostage.
At this point I noticed the police dogs and handlers, and one cop walked past me saying to the other cop "you better get your glock out" - note NZ police do not carry personal arms, they have to get them out of lock up and only if they think its absolutely necessary
Angel baby June 2013, DD born 22 April 2014, BFP 10 Sept 2015 - Due 22 May 2016
Hearing about the guns made me completely freak out. (never seen a gun before) and I kept saying to the cops thats my partner in there (weren't married yet).
They made me stay back and i had to watch as they tried to break in- the owner (a woman!) had barricaded all the entrances!
Angel baby June 2013, DD born 22 April 2014, BFP 10 Sept 2015 - Due 22 May 2016
The cops managed to break in through a window at the back of the place and only about a minute later came out the front door with DH. They kept him aside, talked to him for about 10 minutes. - i wasn't allowed near him. Then eventually let me talk to him.
Apparently the owner was asleep in the back of the shop, and about 5 mins into the appt came out wearing nothing but a robe, accusing DH of raping her. She attacked the hairdresser, who got out the front door, and attacked Dh when he tried to leave. She barricaded the door and called the cops. When the cops arrived, she didn't believe they were the police and called her parents, who also called the police to be told they were already there. Thats about when I got there.
