I HATE when I email my professors and they don't respond. Hospitality professors at that.

kseccomb17 · April 2014

Thanks everyone! Did I skip an update from vinny?

Big congrats to you @PoppySeedWindsor‌!

Thinking of you @kseccomb17‌. Your husband is in great hands.

@dani+california‌ There are many who feel the same way. I also have had some of the same thoughts. It is hard making this huge adjustment and just know you are not alone. Talking with someone is a good idea. (((Hugs)))

Dani, I told DH last night I thought we had made a mistake having a kids already. Not a day goes by that I am not in tears over the fact that I probably won't be getting any sleep at night. I can relate to everything you are feeling. I'd be happy to lend an ear if you need one.

So much this. Starting around 6pm every night i start feeling the sads about how little sleep i'll be getting that night.

My bump is seriously lopsided. I swear, I can spank this little girl and she's still inside, she's such a mooner!

This is me too! Little girls bum is shoved way out and my belly button is pointed to the left. Weird but cute.

Dang my boobs are so expensive! So far I've bought 3 nursing bras...one hasn't come in yet and the other is back in the mail because it didn't fit and my Target cheapy is going to be burned because it's doesn't fit and so uncomfortable.
Hoping this new one fits, if it doesn't I'll have to resort to making my normal bra work since it is more comfortable than any nursing bar I've bough so far.

I got a cheap one from motherhood because my underwire was digging into my belly!

Then I realized the one I bought had hard plastic in the armpits which also hurt.

So I cut them out and now it's nice and comfy.

Where did you find all this? It sounds fantastic!

I finally got a boppy pillow and I'm using it for the first time and holy crap it's wonderful! I thought I was going to get carpel tunnel before. Why did I wait??? And I love wearing LO. I got the infantino mei tai and it's easy and comfy.

I almost didn't get a boppy and my cousin gave us one at my shower. I considered returning since I didn't intend on getting one. Boy am I glad I kept it. This thing is probably one of my favorite baby items.

100% agreed!! Love the boppy and use it for every feeding.

Ok I tried to use my mei tai and failed miserably. DD wouldn't stay up in it. Does your LO's head stuck out the top or is it ok to let them snuggle down in there? I was afraid she wouldn't be able to breathe so I took it off.

cgoldian · April 2014

Survived our first poosplosion. Thank goodness DH was home to fetch me all the things I need to clean up.

JessieAlbin · April 2014

My hubs is learning how to play the guitar part for Blue Shadows on the Trail from Three Amigos so we can sing it to kiddo. So. Stinking. Cute. Melting!

Emily041285 · April 2014

@macgrs‌ that's a great idea! She is totally a sloucher!

Mamamonzo · April 2014

Boppy love!!

sking72 · April 2014

I don't use the boppy the whole nursing most of the time, but it helps me with getting her to latch. And just makes things so much more comfortable

Emily041285 · April 2014

Ok. Using the boppy for the first time right now since you all mentioned it....totally easier. I can use both hands now. Although it really does just make you feel like a milk machine...

BiggerinRealLife · April 2014

YAAAAY @PoppySeedWindsor‌!!! So beautiful!

BiggerinRealLife · April 2014

Ok, I'm gonna AW the heck out of my nursery because it's finally done! And none too soon, I think. Months of putting it off because of my MIL and it's such a relief to be done. Hardwood floors are still waiting to be installed, and still waiting on a few pieces for the gallery wall, but close enough for me to show off. Including my drawer organizers, with my stripey baby bump because I'm a big geek like that. ;;) And please note the adorable super hero cape courtesy of @MamaFantastic‌!

Posting mobile, so sorry if the formatting is weird.

Yup! Sooooo soft! So happy they matched my colors, too!

First of all, the vibrator thread? For reals?

Secondly, tomorrow I have what is likely to be my last appt before my RCS, should LO not decide to arrive on their own in the next week. I'm debating whether it not I should even bother with an internal check. Last time I was "sealed up tight" at 40w and it just depressed me for 2 days, and then my water broke. So I know that no matter what they say, it just doesn't even matter. But then if there IS progress, it might be nice to know that too.
Bah. I'm conflicted. Help me decide RTT!!
Have them write it on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope and have a cervix reveal party

BIRL that nursery is beautiful and the color scheme is everything.

hlm184 · April 2014

It figures that the cluster feeding starts as soon as DH gets home. Ugh.

Ashleypixie · April 2014

High five, @PoppySeedWindsor‌!!! I'm so happy for you! You got everything you wanted!!!

Emily041285 · April 2014

@ColleenSwerb‌ I say do it. Are you open to sweeps? That was one of the reasons I did an internal check at my last appt and got swept then too. I wanted to know I did everything I could before I was induced.

baileymama3 · April 2014

@BiggerinRealLife‌ love love love!!! It's amazing

Teresa1896 · April 2014

The baby room looks awesome, @BiggerinRealLife‌!

Got DS circ'd at his 2-wk appt today. He did great but is a hot mess now. Poor little guy. :-(

Emily041285 · April 2014

Honestly I almost chickened out and didn't do it. DH was the one who brought it up. I'll admit my ob literally said that he only did it because I was so worked up about being induced. He was shocked it worked, let alone worked in less than 24 hours.

MadBloom · April 2014

@BiggerinRealLife‌ so jealous of that nursery!! We're looking to move over the summer so I did nothing in our nursery. I didn't want to invest a ton of time into a room that she'd only have for a few months.
Loving the drawer organization!! Totally doing that!

Stace0616 · April 2014

Today has been really challenging, and my friends have such bad baby fever that I feel bad venting. LO is twice as hungry as normal and I'm trying to sneak in an extra pumping session or two to keep up. It's been two whole days of not having to supplement, and I don't want to look back. He wakes up and cries every time we lay him flat in his crib or PnP, so he'll only sleep propped up in a Boppy or on one of us which means the parent "in charge" has to be fully alert while he is in there.

In the meantime, I'm still not able to sleep on command and I think I'm about ready to hit the wall. Like to the point where I want to skip pump sessions and just sleep one normal 6-8hr deep sleep while DH is off of work. I only have 5 Percocet left and no refills and one week PP, everything under my incision hurts like a bitch. I know baby blues are normal, but I just feel so overwhelmed today. I wish I was feeling better physically so I could focus 100% on my son.

I took it worse than my LO did. His bled for a minute the day of and I had a total melt down.

Yeah, I think I rubbed it too hard with the washcloth in a diaper change and it started bleeding again, so I feel awful. On the flip side, he's worn himself out from crying so maybe he'll actually sleep tonight.

Actually, that's a shitty piece of silver lining. I take it back.

Tferr02 · April 2014

FFWC- I'm jealous of all you with good pain killers. I had a csection, only stayed 2 days and was sent home with my dr telling me to take Tylenol. I hate him
