@saisongbird I know I already told you a little about my induction but I was pretty late (9 days by the time she was born) and there was no meconium. You guys will do awesome! Try not to worry too much (easier said than done, I know).
@FarmBoysWife did he act like he was surprised that you were upset? That sucks. Maybe take up drinking?? Pump and dump hah.

@theluckiest - but that's EXACTLY my timetable. Induction is starting at 7 days late and my OB thinks I won't give birth until Wednesday, at 9 days late.
Being late blows.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me. You made my wedding day complete.
@saisongbird It is more common to have mec when baby is overdue, but it doesn't usually cause problems (it can, but it's rare). It does mean baby will go over to the team to have the mouth/nose suctioned to prevent aspiration. They will try to prevent baby from crying until after the suctioning, so don't freak out if baby doesn't cry immediately if there is mec, it's a good thing!
I'm irrationally annoyed with my MIL right now. Can I trade her in for a new one?! Ugh. Also, @WisconsinCheese12 Emma is wearing that exact outfit today
I have been christened in the fount of motherhood. Mia just projectile vomited all over both of us.
And then she just stared at me like "You gonna clean that up, or...?" My little unicorn is completely unperturbed by being covered in her own spit up. I consider myself the luckiest mother in the history of ever.
Fuck baby blues. This feels entirely too similar to the depression I fought so hard to recover from. This is bullshit. I cry at everything, I don't want to do anything that doesn't have to do with Mia's survival, I can't even make myself get up to shower or eat because it seems so fucking pointless.
My mother just decided to bring up to me today that she's considering trying to help MH and I get out of our current living situation and get into a home of our own, and all I could do was cry because a part of me is so sure that as soon as I get my hopes up, something will happen and we'll we stuck where we are forever. Yay, pessimism.
All in a day's work. I kinda wish the client had gone with the original design. It's supposed to be 3 tiers, with the top tier being a reverse ombre. Oh well, still pretty!
@FarmBoysWife not yet, but I definitely will be at the next appointment on Wednesday. I'm not having any self-harming thoughts, and I would never in a bazillion years think of hurting my little girl, or I would call right now, even if my doc's office is closed until Monday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get a handle on my mood swings before then, or I may end up crying hysterically at the appointment and every day in between.
@FarmBoysWife I know, which is why I'm not going to do what I did last time and ignore the fact that there's a problem until it turns into something a lot worse than just being blue all the time. I was reaaaaaally stupid last time. I don't want to put MH through that emotional turmoil again. But hey, at least I recognized it this time around, I guess. >_>
I owe the creators of the Moby a huge thank you card.
Stupid 6 week growth spurt has come early. She has been eating every 1.5 hours. And will not let me put her down. I ran out of bottles and thank goodness my brain clicked on and wrapped her up so i could do dishes.
FBW - thanks. We're having an at home date night with Frozen and movie theater candy. Hopefully they get closer together - they're about 9 minutes apart, but not very intense.

Thanks @FarmBoysWife. I have been pretty miserable and have not felt like bumping. Hospitals suck. Also my anxiety is THROUGH THE ROOF. So glad I've already started an SSRI. Now just waiting for it to kick in.....
BUT Arthur is doing well! It's so nice to snuggle him with no IV.
@pepperedmoth glad you're home! It's hard to do anything with a dang iv attached!
@saisongbird I'm rooting for those contractions to kick up a notch and the real thing to happen. Hopefully your labor is rainbow labor! (You deserve it with all the nonsense you've been having to deal with)

I really need a dishwasher.
Agreed! We used ours today to go to an auction LO loved it and it kept the crazies from trying to touch her
Edit: quote fail
The twins are 2.5 weeks past their due date (9.5 weeks old) and they seem to be going through the 3 week growth spurt. I have been feeding one or the other (sometimes both) for well over an hour. The nips are getting tired of this already. Better be a quick growth spurt!

@FarmBoysWife i am so sorry you are having a rough day. *Creepy internet hugs!*
@FarmBoysWife my MIL did something similar once. I was beyond livid (not to mention painfully engorged couldn't pump until I drove 40 minutes home).
