    Random question - What ever happened to Joules (some numbers) She lived in North or South Dakota and was a student I think. She used to post frequently and hasn't been on lately. Did she GBCB or something and I missed it since I'm not always on?

    Random Q: we live on the top floor of a secure building. Right outside our door is a staircase that leads up to our rooftop deck. DF thinks we should be able to take the monitor with us and baby can safely sleep in his crib. The physical distance would not be greater than if you had a two story house and you were on a different floor than the child. In practice though, you would have a locked door between you and it seems like it could be sketchy. Any opinions?
    Is propping the door open an option?

    my AW today - I made my padsicles last night! 20 of them in the freezer and ready to go.

    I made my pre- and post- labor granola bars yesterday! They are sooooo good. I have to make sure I don't touch them til labor bc they also make a great middle of the night snack when you are breast feeding and starving at 3am.

    I am way too excited about these!

    @otter1103 - Here's the recipe: https://www.bitchincamero.com/2010/01/nutty-banana-power-bars/

    I also added a 1/2 cup of cacao nibs (they don't melt like chocolate) and 1/2 cup of dried goji berries, then increased the brown rice syrup but a 2 tbsp. This is my way of getting "superfoods" in there. Yum yum yum.

    My OB says 10 kicks in 2 hours. If you aren't feeling much in a hour, make sure you are trying all tricks (sugary drink, being on left side, etc.) for the next hour.

    I hope everything is ok!

    10. Make sure that you are lying down focusing on only kicks and not doing something else. Drink a cold glass of juice before you lie down.

    Thanks! Thankfully boss is out of the office so I'm on an extended lunch break, on the conference couch on my left side and I just chugged a sweet ice tea. Hopefully he gets going.

    @elsa1688‌ my doc doesn't have me do kick counts, but I think the generalized feeling is 10 every 2 hours (from what I've heard). I've had periods where she's way less active than normal and my OB said its totally normal because they've now established nap and sleeping schedules and sometimes they have lazy days. She also said if I get worried to try to drink something cold and lay on my left side and if I'm still concerned to call them. But usually the cold drink makes her go crazy.

    Hope everything picked up, @elsa1688!

     

     

    I had a dr appointment today - we were in the waiting room next to a woman with her 1-month old.  DH and I were both dying!  Babies!

    @elsa1688 glad to hear that. I know with LO I've have busy days and lazy days and have been caught up in worrying because the kick counts were low. 

    Also, with all the babies that have been born lately and how close so many people are, I somehow seem to be/think/feel more pregnant than I am. I still have 5 weeks give or take a couple and seem to think this little tike will be flying out of me any day now. Although I'm thinking that some may disagree with the term "flying out" because from what I understand that is not the most accurate depiction of how it actually happens...
    @charsamm I'm with you! I have a false sense of any day now as well. We'll be there soon enough through!

    I went to the doctor today as having increased vaginal pain and my 30 hour labor highered my chances for infection. I have endometritis and it's very painful. She had to do a uterine feel which was not pleasant.
    Also not pleasant, knowing my baby is getting a circumcision done in 15 minutes. Huge sad face!

    MIL got very very sick while out of town and is in the hospital. She's totally unresponsive and they think she may have a brain infection.  It's pretty scary.  DH flew there this morning, halfway across the country.  I feel so bad for him, I know he is stressed about his mom and also worried that I might go into labor while he is gone. It's just a really crappy situation and I am worried about his mom.

     

    IF, 5 losses, 1 son, 1 on the way.

    @snuff9861‌ we went to nc with C when she was two months old. We used the PnP that the hotel had and it was fine. We did bring our own sheets just in case, but the ones they provided would have been fine. They had obviously been freshly laundered and came in a nice little bag. I'd GI with whatever is easier. No extra worries about SIDS because a PNP has mesh sides everywhere.

    Guise, what do you think about doing the AW/SS/Random thread once per week instead of twice? I'm thinking that way it won't clutter the board so much since everyone around here is poppin' out zee babehs! Thoughts? Opinions? Thin Mints?
    Double stuffed Oreos.

    I'm down for whatever.  That's probably a good idea.

    Does anyone know of any good monogram making websites? I have an idea for the nursery door but I can't find a monogram website that I like that will let me use the monogram without buying something first
