I never thought I'd wish that my OB would finger me twice a week instead of once.

Somehow in the middle of the night our dog managed to sneak up between SO and I and snuggle up on our pillows.. he's never budged from his spot on the foot of the bed before. I totally want to take this as a sign he knows somethings about to happen........
Our Basset has been acting all sorts of strange for the past couple of days and the same thing has been going through my mind! Hopefully animal intuition is kicking in!

My Yorkie woke me up when my water broke so could be!

@ghostof5letters‌ she is so precious! Congratulations!

DS just nursed one tit for 35 mins... I feel like a rockstar.

Btw, I just bought a Brest Friend pillow and so far would def recommend it.

@ghostof5letters‌ she's adorable!! Congrats!!

@ichamommy way to go!!

I was so excited to lose my mucous plug last week- I know it doesn't directly correlate with starting labor, but it seemed like it was at least forward momentum, know what I mean? Well, since then, nothing exciting. I mean, I know loose BMs and diarrhea are early signs of labor, but I could really think of a better way to welcome my child into the world than two days of explosive shits. This blows (BAD pun, wow). Sorry for the TMI, I just knew you all would get it. Come on, baby. Mama's SO ready, and measuring 45 weeks (I REALLY wanna know how high that chart goes! Can I measure 60 weeks at some point?).

@ghostof5letters - she's amazingly beautiful! Congratulations! ETA - and what the hell do you mean by "TB stalkers emailed my mom?! Creepy!

I shouldn't say TB stalkers, I should say The Nest stalkers emailed my mom when I vent/ranted about her a few months after our wedding. At the time, mom and I were living together while my house was being built (closing was delayed)....AWKWARD. It almost ruined our relationship.

Hence, why I'm not too keen on sharing too much personal info. You can figure out a lot about me on here enough to put the pieces together, but I'm not doing the leg work for you.

Well,that's super-dee-duper creepy, but I'm still glad you shared the picture. She's absolutely gorgeous, congrats! :-)

Precious baby, congratulations on a safe rcs, hope you recover quickly.
I agree about being cautious with serving personal info on a platter, the internet can bring out the crazy. Sucks you dealt with it first hand.

I'm waiting to see if baby is going to want to share daddy's birthday today. Doubt it, but at least that means we will be able to keep our dinner reservations for tonight!

Today is my dhs bday also! Baby girl came early to celebrate! Enjoy dinner if baby doesnt interrupt.

netsirk2013 · July 2014

Today is day 3 of everything hurting.

really hope labor is soon. Drs today & I hope there is good news. Her movements hurt. I won't let my husband touch me. All I do is sleep & complain of pain. It hurts to the point I have no energy. If she was to come today idk if I'd be able to push. Going to the bathroom and showering is exhausting. I always thought I had a high tolerance for pain. Guess not.

jnnfrrose6 · July 2014

When mom came over yesterday she also brought some smocked dressed my grandmother had made for me when I was a baby. Can't wait for baby girl to be big enough to fit in them!

I think the worst end of pregnancy symptom is that my trip to Target was officially a chore instead of pure delight.

emineminem · July 2014

You guyssss labor hurts. Enjoy your inside babies while they're still behaving!

Lhalliburton · July 2014

I know dilation and effacement don't mean much, and this is why people don't get cervical checks, but I'm feeling rather defeated. I just came back from my appointment (2 days before my due date) and theres still no change. I'm still 1 cm and not at all effaced. Dr says he's still "floating" and not engaged at all. This makes me nervous. DD never dropped through my whole 22 hour induction. I've been having useless contractions and cramping for weeks and I feel so discouraged. Sorry for the rant, I know others feel this way too.

Ugh, ok. I just got home from a sad and unfortunate situation.

There's another mom who happens to be due in July who sends her kids to the same camp that I send mine. We bump into each other sometimes and chat. Well, today, as I'm picking the kids up from camp, someone decided to take her wallet. Apparently, when she was signing her daughters out, she accidentally left her wallet by the sign out sheet. Well, right after that, someone picked the wallet up and left. The mom checked her car multiple times and the staff all checked the entire camp grounds. Since I was there when it happened, I even turned out my belongings. So one of the teachers who was down stairs at the time was clever enough to read the sign out sheet and noticed that shortly after the mom signed her kids out, another parent signed their kids out. This other parent is known for beating her kids (like punching) and is very possibly homeless. So, all eyes are pointing at her now. It's still not 99% certain that it's her but, she's got a shady personality (I've seen her). So, the school gave her the suspicious woman's name for the police and I guess that's as far as I will find out. I feel terrible for the mom though. She's a great lady and from what I can tell a very loving and dedicated mom.

As for you miss @litera‌ , wishing you the best!

I've never asked for much from you ladies, but if you could say a little prayer, send some good juju or vibes that my cervix has advanced at today's appointment I'd be ecstatically grateful. Never thought I'd say THAT

I have honestly never thought positive thoughts for someone else's cervix before. So...firsts all around

@ghostof5letters -- what a pretty baby! Congrats!

rach1285 · July 2014

Today DH and I went for walk #2 of the day trying to encourage LO into labor and we saw the cutest father / son duo in the world. Dad was mowing the lawn while his son (about 3) was "mowing" with his play mower following behind. It was so cute! I can wait for my little man to get here.

TugboatSheila · July 2014

I am getting what I think are contractions for the past 2 hours. Scattered all over the damn place in how far apart they are. And I have to pee every 15 minutes. And I just keep thinking if I go in they'll tell me I have a case of "actually need to poop you silly girl" but if I wait I'll have this baby at home.

netsirk2013 · July 2014

I've been venting on this board about pain. Thinking I've been just a big baby. Drs apt was today at 2. After multiple tests some time at the hospital I just got home at 9 pm. Dr says cervix is closed. Ultrasound says baby is 7.5-8.5 lbs. She doesn't want to induce without some progress with my cervix. My blood pressure is through the roof and her heart rate has been jumping all over the place while being monitored. ( they thought maybe due to my gd but after blood tests it confirmed whay i said that ive had normal nimbers) I also have an increased blood count. Monday I have another apt and a another non stress test. She wants to see me 2x a week until she comes. However if my blood pressure is still high Monday she is going to check my cervix and see if I'm better off just getting a csection or if there has been any progress and they could induce. So I might just have my baby next week. Until then I am stuck on bed rest. So much for weekend plans & if anything gets worse o have to go straight to the er.

* mobile writing is hard. Too lazy to get out of bed for my laptop.

kenziebug22 · July 2014

Scheduled my c section today and now im beyond excited knowing i only have up to 8 days to meet my little guy. Now.. what to do to keep myself occupied, until of course the excitement wears off and the nerves set in!

SuperTinkerham · July 2014

@netsirk2013‌ I hope you get some relief soon! That sounds miserable.

SuperTinkerham · July 2014

I just watched this video of where a local guy and his wife were racing to the hospital, but she wound up giving birth on the front steps of the hospital. https://gawker.com/95-mph-race-to-hospital-and-last-second-birth-captured-1602884621 I cried for some reason. And do not want that to happen to me.

WTAF? I'm just trying to get shit ordered for this baby and Toys R Us checkout is being a fucking asshole and telling me our debit card is enrolled in Mastercard SecureCode. We have never enrolled our cards in that. We have no fucking SecureCode. JUST LET ME BUY MY SHIT DAMMIT.

I had a problem the other day ordering from them, it took a few trys and a little yelling at my computer lol

ichamommy · July 2014

I wanna know how many people are opting for the mirror during delivery. I did and don't regret it.

I just kept telling them to angle it down so I didn't see my face in it.

It finally let you through without the SecureCode? I think we might have to call my bank.

Eventually it went through, i had to restart my computer and everything it was extremely aggravating, hope it works for you.

My baby may come home from the NICU tomorrow and now I am panicking. I feel like I'm completely unprepared. Thank God DH is taking the next 8 days off.

helloblueeyes · July 2014

Serveral days ago there was some drama with my family. Which is kinda still being dealt with. Today...massive drama with DHs family.

Its 3:30 and because of all this shit I am now wide awake and pissed off.

Seriously why the fuck does everyone keep involving us in shit that does not concern us? Can they not see that we have other more important things going on right now?!?!

These people are adults and should be capable of handling their own problems.

I am so tired and just want to go back to sleep. I really miss all the things that would help in this situation that I can't have right now, like NyQuil or ice cream or beer.

@TKT17‌ Mine does that too sometimes. I just close out of the app and reopen it and it seems to start back up w/o glitches

My 3 year old attends a Christian pre-school. Wednesdays are arts & crafts days. Please tell me, what does one do with a baby Jesus made out of a recycled toilet paper roll and a clothes pin?

There's an announcement on some of the other boards about an update to the app (version 2.0 or something). I ignored it because I don't use the app, but that's probably what your seeing.

It feels wrong somehow to say throw it away... but...

ghostof5letters · July 2014

MSUDucks said:

@ghostof5letters‌ you know baby Jesus is into recycling. Or, could you make a Christmas tree ornament out of it (assuming you celebrate Christmas)? Then it can live with all those other decorations in the bin for most of the year.

That is a great idea!! Hmmmmmm let me figure out how to attach some ribbon. Don't want to drop the baby J or anything.

ghostof5letters · July 2014

So I was just watching the news on the JCrew XXS - They said they created the size to the asian market that is really blowing up for them, however they don't make clothes small enough to meet the demand of the teeny tiny market. (forgive me if that part was mentioned before)

Anyways the pants size is 23 inches. I just measured my head...23 inches.

You obviously need to make an entire toilet paper roll nativity scene for this Christmas.
