    So....contractions got down to 7 and a half minutes apart, for over an hour.  And then stopped.  Completely.  


    Frozen was awesome, though.

  • @saisongbird‌ ::hugs hugs and more hugs::

    @pepperedmoth welcome back, glad you've got your LO in your arms finally. :)

    I managed to hand express 2.5 oz from one boob earlier, and then LO ate it all and went right to sleep. This may be my solution for getting the hideous and extremely painful, bleedy crack in my nip to heal before I let her latch onto leftie again. The right side will just have to continue to suffer, I suppose.

  • We watched Frozen tonight. So cute, even the tenth time.

    FWP: I'm thirsty and my water is out of reach.. And I'm so comfy with LO right now I don't want to move. Waaater.

  • Matthew skipped NB diapers altogether. Only a couple of NB clothing items fit, most we didn't even try on.

    @cactusgirl I hate that. I hate when H tries to be helpful and being me water or something and then puts of out of my reach on the table even more. Put it in my hand!

  • @pepperedmoth ... I'm right there with you! I keep telling Olivia her stomach is still so tiny, how on earth can she fit all of this?!?

  • Mia has found her thumb when she is super fussy.

    I really don't want her with a thumb sticking out all the time, but i also don't want a paci.
    But her being able to self soothe will be wonderful.

  • Thanks everyone.  Sleep last night was sleep for an hour, wake up to pee or be in pain.  Mentally, I think I'm about to crack.  I've had three days off and on of this shit.  DH feels helpless and I know it's killing him to see me this way when there's nothing we can really do.  Half the time I'm not even sure of what I'm feeling, which makes this even harder, because of all the pelvic pressure that's not connected to anything else.  The feelings of nausea that started last night were fun too.  Throw in a head cold?  FML.

    I really do hope for that unicorn delivery and baby, but my luck never seems to go that way.  I keep trying to tell myself that this is just preparation for what's to come...

  • I have a Medela pump in style double pump that we got when DS1 was born super premature. I used it a lot with him, and again while the twins were in the NICU. I HATE it, it works fine and everything, but it makes me feel like a dairy cow. I should be pumping to work on building a stash but I can't bring myself to do it.

    I might go buy a manual pump (which is stupid after paying for the other one). Not sure I'll like it but I think it would be better for me mentally.

  • We're headed to the pedi in the morning.
    We just switched from the advance formula to the gentle kind so it coulf be related to that but i am not taking any chances.
    Mia's last two poops have been like a dark grey/charcoal color. Not black.
    She doesn't have a fever and isn't fussier than usual.
    Thats why i think its formula related, but i know grey isn't good so off we go!

  • @amdeck1016 - I'm glad you're feeling better and Mia seems back to normal.  And thanks for the feedback!

    Since there are no contractions, I'm making brownies.  From scratch.  Double chocolate warm fudgy cakey brownies.  Mmmmm.....

    Well I think you win for having the last baby, sorry probably not a title you want :(
  • @ProudMommy030614 - I'm probably not.  Induction is set for tomorrow, there are a few ladies who aren't set until Wednesday or Friday.  My LO should be here by Wednesday at the latest, hopefully...

  • @amdecker1016- Good luck, hope everything turns out great for Mia! Also without sounding like pretencious bitch...A paci would be a lot better to give to Mia for soothing then her thumb. I work in dentistry and have seen allll kinds of dental/palatel/mouth breathing problems occur due to thumb sucking. Also when it comes time to ween, it's so much easier with the paci, as you can't ever take their thumb away from them!

    Obviously you do what is best for you and Mia, as we all do trying to survive this all but just wanted to pass along the info :)

  • @saisongbird‌
    I felt like crap...hot, nauseous, etc. a few days before my water broke at 26 weeks. The day before I went into full blown labor I just felt blah and had no appetite. I can't wait for you to have your snugly baby!!! :)

  • H is at the airport picking up my mom right now for her two week stay. Trying not to let my anxiety take over.

    She's a special kinda crazy these days. Between health and personal issues over the past few years, she's just a different person. I don't expect her to be much help, other than some cooking and cleaning. And that won't be enough to offset the crazy. Sigh. I want my old mom back.

  • Gonna vent for a minute, because I'm about to scream.

    I just wanted one freaking day this week where MH didn't leave me to go do something else. I barely get to see him anymore, and he dragged me out of the house with Mia to go sit at his mother's house, and didn't bother even to mention to her that I HATE the way she talks to Mia. She's a child, she's not brain dead, and you're not stupid. Stop talking like you have a fucking speech impediment.

    I kept my mouth shut, because she's his mother, and despite how much she aggravates me, I do love her. In small doses. I now have a killer headache now, and as soon as we got home, our annoying, lazy, bitch roommate decided to follow us into the bedroom and ask if she could hold Mia, even though she was screaming for food. Woman, now is not the time. Fuck off.

    And NOW, when I'm moody, have a headache, and just want to cuddle with my baby and my husband, he decides he wants to leave at 5:30 at night to go to the gym. He knows I'm pissed at home for it now, and yet he had the stones to ask me to give him a hug so that he would "know I'm not going to be mad while he's gone."

    >:(

  • @mndynitetragdy‌ I'm sorry, that really sucks. :( At least he took the week off though; MH can't because he's in school, and since I'm out of work he has to carry the bills. :( Which is why this bothered me so much! He had all day yesterday to do homework before work, which means he had all day to himself today. I did tell him before he left why I was crying, and he still left; he's not back yet, and he left almost four hours ago, and he just told me that he'll be gone longer because he's doing homework he should have had done days ago. >:( I am one very upset mama.

    OK, I'm a little worried.

    LO fed insanely intensely last night---between 8 and 10 he was on the breast for an hour and 45 minutes. Every time I thought he was done he started crying and cueing (rooting, gaping, fingers in mouth) all over again. Finally at 10 I had had enough and handed him over to MH who soothed and bounced and cuddled for an hour while I napped. Apparently (I was asleep) he went down finally at about 11.

    I woke up this morning at about 5:45 to the first light coming through the windows. Given my SIDS paranoia, I panicked. We peeped into his bassinet (he sleeps right next to our bed) and he was just snoozing away.

    SEVEN HOURS. Of course I woke him up and fed him right away, and he went for a good 45 minutes alternating breasts, and now he's totally calm and napping in his RnP, and he had a wet and dirty dipe overnight and another after his AM feed (9 wet in 24 hours) but.....YIKES. I guess I should be setting an alarm to feed him?

    We have his first well-baby visit at 11 am today so I'll bring it up with his doc, but.....has anyone else's baby done this?? :-/
