Wednesday Randoms

Okay @SPurp13‌ conclusion of appointment.
1) Cervix is still too posterior.
2) Doc doesn't want to induce on Monday because if I am not ready and induce too soon it will be a looong labor that could result in a c section.
3) Doc stripped the membranes and it hurt, but that's because of the posteriorness...(that's a new word BTW)
4) I have gel appointments (what's that anyone?) Monday and Tuesday.
5) Appointment set for Wednesday to talk induction if gels don't work.

Conclusion? Outside baby sometime between now and next Friday. I am pretty excited

Hope this makes you feel like there can be an end!

@pnwlover12‌ OMG LB! FX you didn't just pee yourself ;-)

@MrsSinner402‌ EPing is hard and a lot of work, but what a gift to give to your baby! It takes a rock star strong mama to EP for her baby. If that's the route you choose, serious kudos!

Have you considered meeting with an LC or LLL Leader to evaluate her latch? Sometimes the answer is as simple as a position change and then patience as your nipples heal.

Whatever you choose, your daughter is so secure in your love. There is no one she loves or knows better than her mommy. It will be ok. Better than ok! ((Hugs))

I decided to get all kinds of craft stuff yesterday and I'm knocking out projects. I am making a wine cork wreath for my mom for christmas. This is probably a uo but I don't like wine and neither does my mom but the name of her street is a wine name so she now likes wine decor. I asked people in my neighborhood for their wine corks and apparently people around here really like their wine because I got over 300 corks!

Then I got this cute frame for my mil that I can have a picture of my three kids in and then on the matting next to their picture is space to put their handprints in different colors.

Then I went to the bead store to get some final supplies to make my daughter her "sister" necklace which is going to be her present from her new brother. It will have each of their birthstones throughout the necklace and then I got these letters made of crystals that spells out sister. They had a sale when I went yesterday and everything was 40% off. Score!

Eh, I'll discuss my amniotic fluid issue on Friday.

I'm intrigued you can't tell us now?

I can. I just go for my second u/s in the same week on Friday cause my fluid is 1/10 of a point away from getting my kid snatched out. They want it above an 8, and the MFM got 5.16...

She kept asking me if my water has broken. I told her that with all these juices and berries free flowing in my underpants, I have no clue. I was just waiting to give a more complete response including a plan of action from my OB.

I'm such a grumpy notch today. I don't know why, but everyone and every thing is annoying.

I have 64 minutes until I can leave work. It can't go by fast enough.

I seriously don't know. I don't think I peed myself but no more has come out. I'm calling false alarm for now. No contractions or anything.

That makes me sad because from what I understand their mod is actually fine, but the board has skewed expectations of what a mod is actually capable of doing. But, I haven't been following the entire thing, so I could very well be wrong.

Also, I'm so curious what your friend is crowdfunding to buy!

I love the mod that stepped down! I am sad for her that she seems to be taking a lot of crap. She's actually a really nice person.

And she's crowdfunding to fix a nice camera so she can return to blogging. Which...not to be a bitch, but c'mon. C'MON!!!

We are the awesome parents who took a 6 day old baby to the apple store bc DH wanted to see the iPhone6 in person.

Sounds legit to me!

trisharenee0316 · October 2014

@knittymeggy - that little girl sounds like a jerk. Is that normally what girls that age are like? I'm not prepared for that!!!!

In random news, my daughter decided that a good use of her milk would be to purposely shake and spill it on my back. I changed out of my t-shirt into a button front PJ shirt that I've been contemplating wearing postpartum because it's easier for breastfeeding. Except you know, I damn near popped the bottom two buttons off trying to get it across and covering my bump. Did I change shirts? Nope. Just sitting here with my belly hanging out, giving no fucks.

Why is there still no option for zero love titting something? I'm going to be jumping every time my phone goes off again tonight. Lol

I hid chewy chips ahoy cookies in my desk and sneak them when DS1 isn't looking so I don't have to share.

The cupboard over the fridge has ALL of my snacks. The kids don't know there's anything in there and hopefully they never will. Mommy doesn't share.

lrobi13 · October 2014

So time for some real talk. I have been crying pretty much all day so I have bit the bullet and made an appointment to see my ob tomorrow because if think I am struggling with post postpartum depression.

I love my baby but it is really tough especially when he only sleeps for 30 minutes every 3-4 hours. If he is not nursing then he is crying. It is really hard to admit that this has gone out of my depth and I hate crying every time I talk to someone. Especially DH. It sucks that every time he gets home I am a crying mess.

So hopefully tomorrow will be helpful and in the meantime I hope that LO stays quiet longer than 20 mins.

Sorry to be Debbie Downer but I needed to share.

Thanks for providing me with a few laughs to distract me!

First...big hugs to you. Becoming a mother is so terrifying and such a huge change. I struggled with this for about the first two months. I was so tired and BFing was such a nightmare for me, that I felt like everyday just...sucked. I never talked to my OB about it because I didn't really feel depressed at the time, just scared. It did go away but I applaud you for making an appt to talk about it. It will get better, I promise.

yella726 · October 2014

@Spurp13 Lola is gorgeous and you are amazing for having hope and faith in her. Also, science, man. Science.

persephonerose · October 2014

@Irobi13 I am sorry you are having to deal with this. DS1 cried a lot due to his reflux and he slept very little in the beginning because I had been cautioned not to nurse to sleep. But honestly he slept the best when he was nursed to sleep and once I gave in to that we had a much easier time.

I hope your OB is able to help you, I remember feeling so helpless but I was terrified to talk to anyone or ask for help so DH and I suffered through all my PPA issues for a year with no outside help.

My Cousin in next door to us, she just had her son this morning.

Coinsidence? Or Super Crazy Eclipse?

Making garlic knots !!! I love garlic knots but no one in Texas sells them

bumpuser10309732 · October 2014

@crawford411‌ FX! @lrobi13‌ I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. It's a big deal to recognize that fact and talk to someone about it ((hugs)) it will get better. I hope he starts sleeping for you.

golfingdarwinfish · October 2014

@crawford411 FX this is finally it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@LRobi13 It takes a lot of strength to acknowledge issues early and tackle them head on. Sending lots of creepy internet hugs to you. You're doing the best thing for you and your LO by talking about it to your ob and receiving treatment if necessary. Please feel free to vent here whenever you need to do so !

jenndub · October 2014

@lrobi13‌ Good for you for talking to your OB. That's a hard step to take and you're doing the right thing. New babies can be so overwhelming. They're cute, but man, they can be real assholes. Best of luck to you.

@savagek7‌ There is only one thing to do here. Cooter punch your "friend".

@savagek7 try not to let the comment freak you out..my son was 10 lbs 12 oz and I'm a wuss
if I can do it, anyone can!

Also, my DD was 10 days late and only weighed 8lbs

MrsSarahRenee · October 2014

@lrobi13‌ Sorry you are feeling so down. Good for you to call your OB! It will be better for you, DH and baby to talk to someone and get treatment that works for you!
Good luck

AmandaJean12 · October 2014

@trisharenee0316‌ That may be the worst crowd funding reason I've heard of. Am I the only one who thinks these things should be used only during like natural disasters or when a family member is horribly sick? Not because I just want stuff?

savagek7 said:
I made a Facebook post updating my friends that there's still no baby. And somebody commented that their baby was 10 days late and weighed 10 lbs 12 oz... Um, is that supposed to make me feel better??
Because it didn't. It only terrified me further of the fact that every day longer this kid stays put, the heavier he gets.
Thanks, "friend".

Ignore her! I was two weeks late and just over 7 lbs. My sister was 6 days late and still not 8 lbs. Your body kept that baby in there for a reason, and he will be perfect when he finally comes out!

MrsSarahRenee · October 2014

@FamousEa‌ thanks for the tip on relaxing and not tensing up. The check was Super uncomfortable and a bit painful but not as bad as I was expecting! I am 1/2 cm dilated. I will take it!

andrieya · October 2014

@savagek7‌ @keelyd I put up the haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com site up on my fb today. On Friday someone at work asked me that....to my face....I looked down at my belly and said, "yes-she's at home and I'm already back". Boys can be so dumb.

I'm trying out acupuncture in an hour to see if it helps!

@knittymeggy‌ I love your cat!

Can't keep up with the randoms threads anymore. I feel like I never contribute anymore. Pretty soon y'all'l be like TOJ who?

I got my hair done today. My stylist came to my house, which is neat. I decided to go back to my natural. Not quite there yet, but closer. I am trying to be frugal especially since I'll be making zero salary soon. Just can't afford the upkeep of platinum right now.

How us everyone else doing?

Was reading the BSC thread on M15 - did anyone else see that @TheOtherJacobsons got a baby name shout-out? She was saying how she enjoys reading our board's birth announcements and Tesla really stood out to her.

You're pretty much famous, lady.

Holy shit dude. Should I be excited or not about this? Haha. You just put BSC and M15 in the same sentence.

MrsTinMKE · October 2014

@irobi13 - Big hugs. I have no good advice, but just wanted to say I hope things get better for you soon!

I just got home from my OB appointment. 80% effaced and only 1cm still. We have an induction scheduled for Sunday morning at 6am. Going to do all the walking, boning, eating spicy foods whatever to have this baby before then. I really don't want to be induced, but there maybe no other choice... oh well, baby will be here soon either way. OB said its common for women to go into labor right before their induction date, hoping this happens to me!

Also DH had me laughing so hard I almost peed myself after the exam (he was in the room with me). I had a different OB today who was a little rough with the exam. After feeling around and digging around she says, "I'm pretty sure there is no change and you are still the same." and continues to prob and dig around! She took a long time. I told H she was really digging around and he says, you should have said, "Hey lady this ain't no Fing happy meal, you won't find a toy if you keep digging around in there." Had to share that, that man makes me laugh.

TheOtherJacobsons · October 2014

Also, I barely have time to read our own board, how do people have time fo dat?

Saragoeswest · October 2014

Omg I'm so behind on randoms! And I'm so tired I feel like my face got beat up! Here's what I've got so far. Just pretend like I'm posting from 50 years ago since that's how far behind I am.

@deezidee04‌ you love DTD? Snort giggle. I'm mature.

@sabby2 you have convinced me to buy the gel soothies that have been sitting in my Amazon shopping cart for weeks. Thank you.

@golfingdarwinfish‌ I totally feel you on the meeting thing tonight. Luckily my board meeting was last week and this is just a committee meeting. And it's at a Mexican restaurant. On "endless enchilada" night. So I think it's gonna work out in my favor.

@knittymeggy‌ I'm glad you didn't actually get hit by that car!

pnwlover12 · October 2014

*gigglesnort*

I just saw on a local buy/sell/trade FB page that someone is selling her mixed breed puppies for $275 each. She also requests that NO ONE comments unless they want one. Then someone gave her a hard time about selling mutts for so much and her response was....wait for it.......GET OFF OF MY POST!

I about died laughing. I thought this was only something people said on TB.

Saragoeswest · October 2014

@keelyd I want exactly what you had for lunch. Now. Forget enchiladas.

@BreandMikewedding you have inspired me with the cork craft. That sounds like an excellent use of my waiting for baby time.

@crawford411 necesitamos mas updates, por favor!

@lrobi13 I'm so sorry you are feeling sad and overwhelmed. FX they get you back on track at your appt.

MrsSinner402 · October 2014

@lrobi13‌ I've got this for you >:D<
@crawford411‌ ahhh LB!!! Keep me posted!

pnwlover12 · October 2014

Well, I've officially heard the worst advice out there. My BFF's kooky sister just FB msg'd me with ways for me to induce labor, including stripping my own membranes or breaking my own water...

I didn't even know how to respond. What the fuck do you say to lunacy like that?!

I ended up going into L&D and I am indeed having contractions every 4 minutes. However, my cervix is still 5 and they are bow telling me that they don't believe its labor because my membranes were stripped. So they are giving me an hour to lir on my back and progress. Right....

Send me some good juju. I want to murder my nurse.

What the fuck?! You're dilated to 5cm and having contractions 4 min apart and they still arent convinced?! What else do they want from you?!
