    I'm the opposite of @litera‌ . I'm sitting on my butt as much as possible to keep this little guy inside. My FFFC: I'm not doing it for his benefit but because my FIL keeps telling me I need to go into labor this week (actual due date is the 18th) so his mom has plenty of time with the baby while she's in town. It's not that I don't want her to have time with him but the comments annoy me and I have this fear that they'll try to camp out at our house.

    GFIL surgery is scheduled for next week Friday (the 18th). MIL is coming into town and would be more than happy if I gave birth while she was here. I'm right there with you- plan on doing as little as possible for as long as possible to keep this baby on the inside. I want alone time right after the baby and I KNOW it wouldn't happen if she was here.
  • Thanks for all the internet hugs.  I definitely feel better hearing that I'm not alone.   
    Even though I currently have 4 different sleeping receptacles I'm considering getting a bassinet for our bedroom since bending down to get Alex every time he cries in the middle of the night is annoying. 
    Dooooo it!  We have 6 of these sleeping receptacles and I use them all.  I'll do anything in the name of sleep.

  • Background: OH has pretty much abandoned me during the night. Ordinarily, I wouldn't mind since he's working but he said he'd help and said specifically yesterday that he'd take a night feed because my nerves were in shreds after the baby fussed for 4 and a half hours which I had to deal with because he...who knows but he was outside.
    Come 2am, I asked him to take the feed he said he'd do and he brought me a bottle (after whining) then just expected me to do it. He then yelled at me when I said he'd offered to take a night feed. He got sent to the spare room (I mean, what is the point of me expressing then feeding her the bottle myself? Stupid man)

    Confession: He came home from work and started an argument with me so I finished feeding the baby, put her down in her bouncer and left them. I'm not a single parent and the sooner he realises this, the happier we will all be.

    I'll go back in soon. It was that or strangle him.

  • I need a husband who's not an ass.
    One night feed (all I wanted from him) in the 2 weeks she's been here would hardly kill him.
  • I had my growth scan appt with my high risk dr today and mentioned I'd have no problem if he sent me to be induced today. He asked if I was serious because he would go ahead and call over to recommend it and my DH and I looked at each other like "heck yeah, let's do it!" But the on call dr with my ob-gyn office said she'd have the office call me Monday to schedule it. I'm kinda bummed because I was looking forward to possibly meeting my little man and also getting rid of this carpel tunnel crap I have going on in my arms.

    I'm at a religious hospital, so no wine on the menu:( so I had my friend bring me some last night and omg that little glass was yummmmnn!! I'm now hiding the rest of the bottle in my mini fridge !!
    Wait, what? There is a hospital menu somewhere with wine on it? You could always request communion service and chug when they aren't looking ;)
    Our hospital is Catholic and they used to have wine on the menu for the "congratulatory meal".  They took it off right before I had my last baby and I was pretty sad.  Also, you have a mini fridge in your room, that's awesome.

  • I sent the baby shower board over to FB's latest mess of a post on A14, it's getting awesome and I have no regrets.

    It's HILARIOUS how they're all jumping to bunni's defense. Obviously they don't know the level of crazy and SS that comes with her.

    I had a grilled chicken salad for dinner & am now enjoying mini donuts & beer. BAM! :D

    Edit: Just to clarify, beer & donuts are my FFFC.
  • My confession is that , after 5 weeks, I have quit trying to BF/pump.  And I want to cry whenever someone says - wait, you aren't breastfeeding?  And I stumble through - well, my milk never really came in, and he was in the NICU and I've never been able to pump more than 1-ounce total with a hospital grade, electric double pump when trying for 20-30 minutes every 3hrs and so I gave up.  And they say - did you talk to a lactation consultant?  Ie. Did you even try?  

    And I apologize, because I was totally that FTM several months ago who came on the FFFC and said - I don't care about BFing vs FFing and I will just go with the flow.  And I realize now how heartbreaking that making the switch can be.


    AWE, I'm sorry- if it makes you feel better, we have hormones play a role in that, it's not just you and your mental arguments over it. A++ for effort, mama, you did your best. Maybe they should try a day in

    OMG that is so DH- I'm more concerned with the way he's always sleeping through diaper changes- and DH1 is in pull ups still and he f-ing gets out of those too. I have resorted to giving him a hard kick to wake, then pretending I'm asleep and don't hear the crying so he'll change at least one stupid diaper once in a while.

    My FFFC: I'm out just looking for a Bump pot to stir...in the mood for some BINGO tonight.

    Also, concur with the lack of understanding of FFFC and UO threads. c'mon ppl, it's no fun reading the same whiny shit all week long because ppl can't figure out what words mean. Hel-lo each day has a different variation on a theme of sass.

    So induction is planned for Thursday. Before this all I wanted was the baby to come now all I want is for him to stay in until Thursday so I can plan out my week because knowing when he is coming just seems easier

    I was the same way when my induction was scheduled. For me, it was two more days to rest and having peace of mind being able to plan who would watch DD while we were at the hospital.
