  • @FamousEa ugh, I hate that. Rest those hips today.

  • We get to go home today!! The nurses keep coming in and asking if they could take DD so we can get some rest. They really just want baby snuggles. "No! My baby snuggles, all for me!" Can't wait to be home and in my own bed.
    Aww she is so sweet! Yay for going home!!
  • Im up.. headed to work.. boooo hiss!!
  • I was up until about 3:30 am with back labor. Finally found a sleeping position that got her off my back and got abut 3 hours of sleep. Now wondering if the labor will return or not.

    Married 10/06

    Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)

    @FamousEa‌ sorry you're sore! @Syllessa‌ Hope your swelling goes down. Mine was worse after than when I was pregnant. Up nursing over here too. The last two nights she slept awesome, not last night! I think DH is getting annoyed that I keep holding her but sometimes it's the only way I get sleep!

  • We 're up nursing. Hoping to get released today. Teddy's bilirubin levels were high when the tested his skin at his 48 hour point, so they had to do a blood test. We should know by 7am our action plan.

    I'm up nursing. Every 3 hours, like clockwork. My whole body is still painfully swollen, but the on call doc said I was exaggerating, and that it's normal for lower legs to swell.

    I'm super glad we only bought one pack of newborn diapers. We made it through half the pack, then moved up. He is a monster baby.

    @FamousEa‌ I hope the soreness doesn't last long.

    Is that the doctor that's on-call all weekend or can you try with someone else today?

    I had a spinal with my C-section. I'm not sure exactly what it's from, but it's been getting worse since Tuesday. It's both legs, butt, hips, and belly. It's bad enough that the jeans I wore to my last appt won't fit.

  • Purchasing last needed supplies this morning. DH finished the tree mural on the wall yesterday so I will totally be awing our nursery today since I have no outside baby to AW yet!

  • I am also in the "did way too much yesterday, now I'm sore today" club. Made sleep a little rough but I did actually get some shut eye.

    I had some weird dreams last night one I woke up from because in the dream I was bleeding pretty bad and I had to check if I really was because it freaked me out. Labor dreams... Luckily none of it is really yet I have too much to finish up this weekend.

  • I really don't want to be up. I have developed a headache in the past hour and a half that I have been up with DS. He always wakes me up, yet his dad is still sound asleep and he keeps telling me to "shh dad's sleeping" for once it would be nice to get to sleep in. Oh well that's for another day I guess. **Rant over**

    @Syllessa‌ swelling over your whole body post c/s doesn't seem normal. Some swelling but not excessive swelling. May want to call the on call doc again.

  • Hope everyone who is sore from busy Saturdays get some rest today!

    FX LO's weight stops dropping so you can go home @theresat858‌

    @TheOtherJacobsons‌ your post makes me so nervous. I don't want to wish away or miss a second of her life but I know I will be so exhausted too! Excited things are going well for you all.

    @Syllessa‌ Feel better and stay away from the mean doctor if you can! :-p

    I'm awake and I'm not happy about it. I overdid it yesterday cleaning and doing laundry, my back and hips are so sore.

    This is me today as well.  We ran around all yesterday, to the cider mill and then out to eat as a family.  Then I decided it was a good idea to finish organizing the basement.  It looks great after I spent nearly 5 hours down there, but I woke up feeling like I was hit by a truck!  So sore.  Hope we both feel better asap!


    Me too. I have a nesting injury. Lol. I decided I needed to scrub every door in my house and the constant up and down was a little much on my stomach, leg and butt muscles. I could barely get up and d own the stairs last night.
  • My baby now breastfeeds, but for some reason doesn't feel like it during the 4am session. So I heat up a bottle, leak out like an ounce of milk from each boob while feeding it to her and now I'm pumping. I can't master the pump and feed thing. Too much shit in the way.

    Today was her EDD. She's 3 weeks old and changing before my eyes. I swear, she's not the same baby I put down to sleep 4 hours ago.

    Look into Milkies Milk Savers. They'll collect those precious ounces that leak out!

  • @savagek7‌ I'll join you on the overdue couch. Only 2 days for me. I had my NST yesterday and everything was perfect. I'm really glad she's good, but I kinda wanted something to be a little amiss to push the timeline up, but no. I do really hope I don't get to keep any of my next appointments.



    I'm up with DS this morning. H was a grumpoppotamus yesterday because he's so tired. Because he keeps staying up too late playing video games. Dude, I think you forget what real tired is like.

  • I'm actually glad to still be pregnant today. Yesterday was so exhausting that all I could think was "no." I definitely wouldn't be able to go med-free if I went into labor that worn out. I asked DH if we could please try not to see or talk to anyone today.

    Do you have one of those hands free pumping bra things?? Totally worth it!

  • We went out for Mexican food last night and I for some reason thought I could eat salsa "since I'm close to my edd". Big mistake. Huge! I still have heartburn since I'm still pregnant! I took pepcid last night and had a ton of tums and I still have major heartburn.

    I only got 4 hours of sleep last night because dh and I are planning to move cross country as soon as we can but we need to sell our house and he needs to find a job there. Last night he was freaking out that we need to get the house listed and I was getting annoyed with him because he hasn't even applied for jobs. What if the house sells and he doesn't have a job there yet? Where is our family of 5 and two dogs going to live? Plus, there are two other houses on our street for sale right now and both are the same model as ours. I would rather let those sell so we aren't competing with them for buyers. Then ds decided to wake up super early and not go back to bed.

    I had a dream last night that I had the bloody show.
    But alas, woke up to nothing.

    Being overdue makes me want to use all the obscenities.

    I had mine two weeks ago and have had brown discharge ever since, still 4 days past due. Either my kid loves me so much that she just wants to stay inside me or she hates me already and doesn't want to see me.
    I'm pretty convinced my kids would both still be in my womb if they could. Especially my dd! They have both been super clingy lately and trying to get as close to me as possible.

  • BRU still hasn't sent me my registry completion coupon.  They emailed me 2 weeks ago and told me it would be here no later than today.  I am now on hold on the phone trying to get them to give me the coupon via email or in-store today. 

    Bastards.


    I never got mine either, even after I called. I just went there and told them I wanted the coupon. Now they keep calling and sending me emails wanting to hear from me since I told them I never received mine in the first place!! Annoying

  • I dreamt about labor and we went from team blue to team pink, FI wouldn't come to the hospitol, and I forgot the girl name we picked out earlier.....

    I want waffles.

    I hope everyone is feeling better or will feel better today.

    My friend posted on FB yesterday about homemade blueberry waffles she made, so I went out and bought some Eggos. Disappointing.
    I have a waffle maker and I love it! We use box mix but they are still way better than frozen waffles. We make waffles almost every week. You can mix in different seasonings, fruit, chocolate or any other waffle flavor you want to the mix.
