I am so ready to meet my little girl and hold her but nervous about labor and the big time life adjustment of not having a little one in the house for 12 yrs. please say a little prayer for us that everything goes smoothly tomorrow.
    Good Luck!! T&P that all goes well!

  • Happy birthday @Elress21 & @ginabina11!!!!!!!! 

    @Ohioloveyou I had a cervical check yesterday and I did't feel a thing!!! I'm a HUGE baby when it comes to anything happening in that area, so I was absolutely shocked.  She did say she felt "around" and didn't poke inside the cervical opening because she didn't want to disturb anything, but I was shocked that it was so painless.

    Today is my 7 year wedding anniversary!  We are putting off the fancy dinner since we have one planned for next weekend, so will be having yummy bananas foster brioche french toast this evening.  I can't believe it's been 7 years already.  DH has been so wonderful during this whole pregnancy that it has reminded me why I fell in love with him 12 years ago.
    @golfingdarwinfish - Happy anniversary!  Also I envy you.  Had a cervical check last night and it hurt like shit! I swear that nurse rammed her whole hand up vajay. It made me think..if i can't handle a cervical check maybe I won't do well with labor :/

    @mrstinmke

    I doubt the bolded is true!  I think a lot of it has to do with the skill of the person performing the check and the actual position of your cervix.

    5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional.  5 BFPs.  My rainbow arrived 10/15/14.
    TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.

  • My appointment today was pretty good.  Joined the butt swab club...cervical exam was uncomfortable but I think that's mostly because my cervix is super high and not at all dilated. He had to put his fist under my tailbone and have me arch my back to even feel it.  Baby is head down, though, so that's good! 

    Plus baby is kind of a butthole already.  I swear he had changed position over the weekend because I didn't feel movements in the same places AT ALL.  No baby feet poking my side.  Made me worry a bit and I planned to ask the doc about it. Then what did I feel on the way to my appointment?   Baby feet.  Pushing on the seatbelt.  What an ornery kid.

    Last night must be the night for contractions.  I had an awful sore back after work last night that turned into a cramp like feeling that wrapped around to my sides. This happened on and off all night despite position changes and my pillow fortress. Then, this morning I was having cramps in my pelvis with obvious peaks and then they would subside.  I feel better since I got up and ate some food and drank some OJ and water.  Still having occasional contractions so I guess we'll see what happens today.

    Happy birthday to all who are celebrating today!

    Happy anniversary @golfingdarwinfish !




    We are so excited to grow our family!

    Yes! I feel like he wants all the sympathy right now... and I'm just like try a day in my shoes.  I do however think most of it is because he is excited.  He was so excited thinking the baby was coming last night. I don't think he realizes how he is sounding right now!

    Taking a toddler who still has a cold, didn't want to wear pants or shoes today to walmart for groceries wasn't one of my finest ideas X_X

    Oh no! Is it her naptime yet?!

  • So.  I'm stalking this D14 thread about all of them being nasty (hilarious, of course), and I'm noticing that many of these lady's have D14 badges for being bitches, and it makes me a little sad.


    Someone should make us one for O14 Notches...
    Really? Something good goin on over there? Everytime I lurk N14 and D14 it is boring.

  • Happy birthday @eiress21 & @ginabina11!!

    I am counting the minutes until lunch time today! I usually don't eat until 1 (so that I have less time to work after lunch...that's how I roll) and I am starving and my lunch is so good. I feel like LO has flipped transverse again. I feel hiccups higher up on my left side and lots of moves in the middle area.

    @SPurp13 - Finally had my childbirthing class this Saturday. I was as sick as a dog so in between the congestion and blowing of the nose I didn't ask many questions like I intended but the instructor did bring up swaddling. She didn't give much info as to why it's no longer recommended, just said there's been an uptick in SIDS recently and I guess they think it "might" have something to do with swaddling. They recommend swaddling for comfort but not for sleeping. She said to use sleep sacks or place a blanket over baby and tuck the blanket into the sides of the crib to prevent it from moving. 

    UGH, Now I don't know WHAT to do. We have a bunch of the SwaddleMes and some Sleepsacks (with and without the mummy-wraps). I'm SURE if I ask the jailspitol, they will say "just swaddle her," or, worse, "just put her in this cardboard box in the garage."




    Dude, swaddle that shit. I mean, swaddle that baby. Make sure she's not too hot but use the fucking swaddle!

    I can't believe they are trying to do away with swaddling....

    This! We got the special swaddle ones. DD doesn't seem to like them but we use a blanket. What's the bfd? My niece likes the velcro sacks though.

    Meanwhile, the nurse in my newborn care class said to swaddle over using sleep sacks, because the swaddling is what gives the baby that cradled, back-in-womb feeling that will help soothe them.  She said not to use the sleep sack.
    For what it's worth, what I HEARD is that swaddling isn't good because they can't throw their arms out to startle themselves awake. And, overheating. But SO many people are still using swaddling that I don't know what to do. I KNOW our jailspitol does. Not that that is here nor there.
