    @speechie517  My DS is the same way with tucking in his lower lip while eating. I am constantly having to pull it out.  Luckily, he is still getting enough to eat.  I am thinking of going in to see a lactation consultant.  Hope nursing gets easier for you and your DD.

    Congrats to the new moms, consolation to the miserable moms in waiting, and general hello from RTT MIA!!

    I think I'm going to put together one more slow cooker freezer meal today and make some lactation cookies. Leaving the house is pushing it so I'll schedule a mani/pedi for tomorrow. Jack's not coming for a while (he's moving around like crazy)and I'm ok with that. I kind of want him to wait for my parents to get here. But I had my final wax and car seats are in, so I'm ok if he decides to come too.

    I'm at that point where if I stand too long my feet and legs swell, and the pressure on my cervix/bladder feels like I'm trying to hold in a bowling ball with my pelvic floor muscles. But if I sit too long my tailbone and back hurt and I can't breath. But if I lay down too long I get heartburn and boredom. It's only been a week of this so I can't really complain yet. Especially with the OD ladies... Hang in there! :)

    Well after wandering my house last night trying to breath without wanting to rip my ribs out my DH made us go to the ER. I am officially so uncomfortably big in the belly that I sprained my freaking ribs turning over in bed....

    Total mindfuck! I was admitted for my induction, and the baby decided to roll away more and more sideways with every check - so after the 3rd ultrasound he's totally transverse. They're discharging me and giving him a week to flip back. WTF child?! I'm going to eat all the things for lunch after this morning.
    That stinks!  Come on baby!  Your mommy wants to meet you!

    Honestly I'm relieved! I mean disappointed about the no baby part, but I thought they were going to push for a c-section today. My blood pressure and labs were good, so they're letting me go to my due date, and if I think he's flipped before then, I go in to check and they'll induce right away if he's in position. I could even just go into labor - wow. I hadn't even really considered this thing just happening on its own!
    My fingers and toes are crossed for you that you go into labor naturally!

    If I could stop pissing myself every time I stand up or sit down or just move in general that would be great.

    Oh and since I'm bitching.

    Whyyyyyy must your baby be so cute?!?!!!! Are you able to put this kid down at all? I know I wouldn't.

    Just got back from Logan's first appointment. His bili levels are really high and I'm waiting on the call to find out if he is going to be re admitted to the hospital for treatment. He has also lost about 9% of his birth weight but my milk came in so we should see that going back up soon. Poor guy also had his tongue tie clipped, Mama is looking forward to pain free nursing!

    Hopefully you don't have to go to the hospital!  Can you get a bili bed or blanket to use at home instead?  Mikey just got cleared on his bili levels today, about four days after my milk came in and a day after he really started processing the milk (lots of 'output').

    In other news, I love my husband, he's a fantastic father, but if he tells me again that he's going to "snooze" the alarm one more time before getting up, I will not be held responsible for my actions.  He's getting almost a full night's sleep (I ask him to change a diaper maybe once a night) while I'm dealing with cluster feeding, and he's taking more naps than I am!

    I'm sweaty and I have all the gas. Also, very angry vajuterus. Carry on.
    When my OB told me I had a tear she was stitching up, apparently forgot inwasnt in a room full of RTT friends and exclaimed "oh no, I don't have a vagasshole do I?" Cue room full of awkward laughter moments after my daughter arrived.
    You are now officially my hero.
    I said something similar to DH!  He thought it was hilarious.

    I'm pretty sure it'll be the hubster who says something like this in front of the nurses/doctor/MIL/etc. He thinks it's the funniest term in the whole wide world. Cue eyeroll.

    We had bought 3 bottles of orange juice several weeks ago to ensure we would have some for our home Bradley method birth. If you aren't familiar, one of the little fun quirks about Bradley is that it's a big deal to have a glass of orange juice right after the baby is born to help with recovery.
    I was very sad today to have to open the last bottle with no baby in sight. I really wanted OJ but had been holding out hope for that damn bottle. Ugh.

    Thanks girls, I'll update as soon as I have answers. @hlm184 I'm not sure if that's an option or not, but I don't think it is since they specifically said he would be admitted to the ho

    This probably belongs in the stupid questions thread... But is there a differnce between contractions you feel up high and ones that are down low? I've been having some mild ones sporadically for a week and some I feel really high and others are super low.

    My high ones ended up being just a pissed off uterus. Are you doing different activities that trigger one vs. the other?

    I've turned myself into a lurker while I wait for this baby. Pretty much anytime i start to type something it comes out as a whine so I'd rather not turn myself into that right now. Trying to stay positive!

    I'm so happy for all the moms with outside babies and hugs to those who need them!!

    ::returns to lurking::

    I know the feeling... Though that doesn't stop me from opening my mouth. :)
    Hugs as you wait *patiently* for your LO!

    Anyone have a yonanas blender? My mom just bought us one, and I'm excited to use it! I just hope it works like it says.

    DH and I just attempted a trip to Target with our 6day old. I have never been happier to be home in my life. This kid may spend the next 2 wks sitting on the couch with me.
