We had a looooooong night of fussing and no sleep... Luckily, our newborn photog posted this teaser on Facebook of our little beach bum baby that reminded me why being so freakin tired is worth it! It makes me laugh every time I see it!

I'm dying.

@satrimm‌ my sister put up the same fight. I finally called the Walgreens by her house, made sure they had it and gave her $60 to go get it. After she talked with someone else who had a two year old, she finally understood the necessity but before that, she acted like I was being a crazy overprotective FTM.

kbellizio3 · June 2014

@emilyh107‌ hugs! I'm on a higher watch for PPD and my OB said that if I ever felt how you're describing or worse (harmful thoughts etc) to call and talk to them. Hopefully you and your OB can figure out something to help at your appointment! Kudos to you for realizing this may not be normal and asking about it. You have to take care of yourself too!!

ETA: I'm a FTM so I have no experience with this, but because I'm bi-polar it was discussed early on with my OB and these are some of the things they told me.

Cwg22 · June 2014

FTM and just had my first bit if nipple leakage. Totally caught me by surprise and really just a few drops that went through my shirt but got me excited! Just another symptom to make it all seem more real

meritsamomma · June 2014

Here we go...
Officially being fed oxytocin as I type this. Went to a BP check with my clinic today and BP was high again. Doc did cervical check, 4-5cm dilated 75 % effaced with bloody show. Sent me on up to the hospital saying that my body clearly knows some thing's wrong and is making sure we can get Miss Kennedy out safely.
Looks like my LO will be here by tomorrow at the latest!

@meritmacalpine‌ good luck!

lest12 · June 2014

Good luck @meritmacalpine‌ !

rainbowdashh · June 2014

@emilyh107 I was the same way after DD1 was born. I cried a lot. I loved her but I cried about everything. I was so overwhelmed. I never ended up talking to anyone about it other than my mom, but looking back I should have. I'm glad you get to see your doctor soon! Hugs to you.

Also, PPD isn't something that happens immediately. It can come on any time. I felt it the worst around 6 months pp. Please ladies, from experience, see someone! Don't just try to "deal with it" like I did. It won't help you.

roadspeckle · June 2014

@emilyh107‌ - hugs to you. mastitis and sleep deprivation certainly don't help.

Taymiller · June 2014

I just counted out my last 12 days left of allergy pills (all 48 of them) and I can't wait for these hives to be gone!! Well hopefully, because if it isn't this baby then we have no idea what is causing them because I have been tested for everything else.

MrsCase1 · June 2014

@mrsdbc lincoln got his eyes checked with a machine/helmet thingy at his 2 year visit. They referred him out to an opthamologist and she specializes in children. She determined his vision is perfect but said it is way better to see an opthamologist than an optomestrist for kids because of the extensive training they receive. I trust our pedi 100% and I am a "better safe than sorry" type so I didn't mind taking him for the peace of mind it gave me. She said if you catch stuff early while the eye is growing you can prevent lifelong glasses in some instances. So, pediatric opthamologist is the way to go IMO.

MrsCase1 · June 2014

@strawberrydreams219 i have a son so this may not be relevant but he is sort've ready to potty train. however, the pedi said not to introduce "hardcore" till he was 3 and that ESPECIALLY if a baby was coming not to bother because he could regress and then i'd have to train him twice. ugh. no thanks. we potty for fun at the moment.

k318 · June 2014

Going for prenatal massage today wth the same therapist I saw the day before I went into false labor. Hopefully this time things will move along? I'm due in 3 days and want to help things progress, and I haven't slept well and find massage extremely relaxing

Mia081081 · June 2014

Walked 2 miles this morning and heading to the mall to walk some more because it's way too hot out. Trying to get things moving

cMichelle0423 · June 2014

DH and I get a night alone for the first time since September. MIL is watching DS so we can relax and get caught up on sleep. Yall have no idea how excited I am to just sleep!

cMichelle0423 · June 2014

So adorable @shannonliggett‌!!

sparklenshine_89 · June 2014

DH and I drove 4.5 hours away from home yesterday with our kids-we left at 10am. We ended up breaking down (in an out of service area). We were able to get on the road but ended up having to pull over again at 4am to get some sleep. I don't even sleep well in my bed and having to sleep in my truck was just exhausting and uncomfortable. We have been up since 530am and right now we are at a tire shop 2 hours away from home. I just want to sleep. Hopefully we will be home by noon.

whoberry · June 2014

Is it just me or is this board getting scary? There have been some scary birth stories, and major complications with babies and mamas. I feel so bad for everyone going through scary stuff.

eta: words

k318 · June 2014

@whoberry‌ I agree. As much as I want my baby girl out, all these scary stories have me telling her to stay safe in there as long as she needs.

However, baby girl, I am spending the day pampering myself as a distraction so if you decide to make your appearance today please let me finish my to do list (mani, massage, hair, BBQ) first

thank you! Love mommy

@sparklenshine_89‌ Oh my gosh! Praying you can get home quickly and have family nap time!

We are about 15 minutes away from home right now... It's been a long day all I want is a cold shower and nap!

diagonalley · June 2014

2 exciting things today. 1, my wedding rings finally got again! Haven't worn them since December. 2, I put together Max's crib

caitb413 · June 2014

@MommyP710‌ YES! I finally got my wedding rings on today too!

My other exciting thing today is that I got out of the house alone for the first time to do some light grocery shopping. I fed T and left him with DH for 45 minutes and they did great together. Now DH is making me a sandwich.

It has been! As someone who had a scary delivery I promise you... it's just a blip in the radar after your baby (ies) are here. Don't be worried, everything will be absolutely fine

cMichelle0423 · June 2014

@ugabamafans‌ with my last pregnancy i gotmy mmembranes stripped twice... The second time it was done on a Thursday and I spotted off and on until Sunday, which I think I ended up getting my bloody show that morning because there was more blood than the days before... I went into labor at 12:30 am Monday morning. So it totally could be!

kbellizio3 · June 2014

Ben and Jerry's was on sale when I went grocery shopping. I am quite a happy girl (even though I'm not so happy at DH)

ricecakes1216 · June 2014

H is making me watch Lone Survivor. He's a former Marine (yesterday was one year since he's been out). I'm ultra sensitive to war/military movies, I have such bad anxiety right now.

rainbowdashh · June 2014

@lizardbreath14‌ I really want to order a bali breeze too! I've got woven wraps, but with the temperatures already in the 90s and 100s, I think the gauze will be nice. My baby carrier stash would be complete if I had one

DH is a former firefighter (as is my dad) and made me watch Ladder 49...yea...nope. I cannot watch movies like that. Does he know you don't like movies like that? After we watched Ladder 49 I told DH never again. He can watch them all he wants without me.

Yeah, he's been begging me to watch it with him since it was in theaters. I finally gave in but played on my phone the entire time. I bawled at the end when they showed the pictures of the actual people.

kbellizio3 · June 2014

@ricecakes1216‌ yea I probably would've too. Movies like that are way too intense for me. Hopefully he cut you a little slack and didnt complain about you playing on your phone

We're watching it too. I already told H no making fun of me for crying because today has already been rough for me.

ricecakes1216 · June 2014

It was actually pretty good. Emotional and intense but I think they did a really decent job. Mark Walhberg said that he wanted to do the movie to honor those men. It just makes me so sad that people have gone through that. Makes me very thankful that H was an air winger and fought from a helicopter and didn't have to be on the ground. I know he's seen some stuff, but he was spared a lot of the trauma.

k318 · June 2014

Hoping these contractions regulate and become the real deal. I'm so ready for baby

k318 · June 2014

The contractions fizzled out, again. It was getting pretty painful last night too, getting my hopes up. And so week 3 of prodromal labor begins. I feel like an ass for starting my maternity leave and I am losing precious time at home with baby girl.

ricecakes1216 · June 2014

It's 4:30, I've been awake for the last 45 minutes. I'm so annoyed and incredibly uncomfortable. I blame my dad. He called me yesterday and told me to get some rest. I told him he was a jerk, I haven't felt rested in the past nine months. Ugh. Sleep is all I want.

MrsCase1 · June 2014

Fresh Sunday stab is myself. I have the maid coming for a deep clean tomorrow and I still need to do the pre-cleaning. Oh, and I still haven't gotten out my thank-you cards and this would've been my one oppotunity to hand out in person the cards for people I don't have the address for. I suck.

elsa1688 · June 2014

Last night was our first night home and J was really fussy after a 3:00 am feeding. DF was on baby consoling duty. I woke up to him in bed with us at 6 and panicked. I know he really didn't mean to fall asleep like that but it just seemed so dangerous

Pepper6 · June 2014

I started having a few mild contractions yesterday evening and got excited, but of course they stopped pretty quickly.

I guess I should be glad because today is the day my mom is annoyingly hoping for, so once it passes I can finally stop hearing about it. Lol.

ElTrain5 · June 2014

My parents are out helping with the house this weekend (and hoping I go into labor), and I know I shouldn't care and just be grateful that they are here, but I'm incredibly anxious about LO not coming out and just feel like shit that all the "you can't do that!!"'s are driving me fucking nuts. Here is a list of things I shouldn't/can't do so far:

- get out of my chair
-pick anything up off of the ground
-paint with low odor no VOC paint
-mow the lawn
-trim the hedge
-switch the laundry from the washer to the drier
-take the laundry out of the drier
-go up or down stairs
-drive

I love them so much, and I sure as hell hope I get such a great pass at not having to do anything once this kid is out of me, but seriously folks...this is my home and I can't sit on my ass all day in from of the tv watching you work while I focus on how I'm still pregnant and uncomfortable. I mean, I can do that for like 5-6 hours and all night...but at some point I'm going to have to walk up the GD stairs. Chill the hell out.

I'm currently doing yard work and wearing myself out because I'm not "allowed" to do the easier stuff inside.

lest12 · June 2014

@eltrain5 - I am not allowed to do anything either. At all.

We had a 'party' for my dad's 60th birthday last night - aunts, uncles, about 15 of us. I sat on the couch for a minute... and then I wasn't allowed to get myself water. Or food. Or a blanket. I had to just sit there and be fawned over.

When I finally stood up to watch my dad cut the cake, and everyone started telling me to sit all at once, , I kind of snapped, lol, and told everyone I need to stand for circulation. Only my 1 uncle laughed but whatever. Leave me alone!
