I'm surprised it's 5am central and we aren't 9 pages into a new thread.

Re: Wednesday Randomsssssss
This has been me all night! I hope they start getting real soon. I slept horribly because of it. MIL is taking DD today so I have some time to myself today.
I hope everyone who's in labor have a safe and healthy delivery. Labor vibes to all who want to go into labor!!! And congradulations to everyone who had their babies!
@caranichole yes when I get back from the doctors today I'll have like 7 pages to catch up on!
Saw that @pnwlover12 was contracting last night - any updates???
TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.
ETA: There are definite negatives to using a nipple shield, but it is an appropriate and very useful tool in certain situations for helping baby latch to feed. It may or may not be a solution to what you're experiencing, which is why seeing an LC or Leader might help.

ETA: bedsharing doesn't have to be all or nothing either. Plenty of parents bring baby into bed for the rough patch of the night during which they'd wake constantly on their own, and for the rest of the night baby is in her own space.
I want to know where my chill, sweet baby went. She is getting so angry when she's done eating and screams and screams when we get her dressed and try putting her back to sleep. At least it didn't take me more than 10 minutes to console her this morning. I'm not sure I could handle another 4 hours of that like last night while DH is at work.
@pnwlover12 I must not have sent enough labor vibes. I'll try again.
@cantisa Nipple shields can be a huge help. I complain a ton about it but mostly because I feel like dd is dependent on it now rather than it being a temporary fix.
Good luck to all those in labor today and fx for all those wishing for labor.
Lots of sleep dust for all of you tired and exhausted pregnant lady's and new moms.
And we did a pacifier (even though I was against them) and it worked out really well - even to the point where by 6 months we took it away w no resistance issues.
Keep up on telling us how to deal with breastfeeding, I'm getting nervous reading everyone's "problems" but hopefull with all the remedies everyone is throwing out.
I'm so tired of this damn application, every time I get in it, it has logged me out and 95% of the time I'm to lazy to log back in. Grr! I do a lot of liking, but not a lot of comments being a ftm I don't have any helpful comments , sorry everyone.
I'm a little discouraged being 39 weeks and had my appointment on Monday she says I'm locked up tight, I'm not dilated or effaced, or having contractions! I think ds is staying in there forever. Since she checked, I have had a little blood and cramping yesterday. But non today. very discouraging

@Cantisa, I used a nipple shield for two months with DS1. It was for a different reason (he was two weeks early and had a weak suck). At the time I hated it and it made nursing frustrating to constantly have a clean shield when he was ready to eat, but in the end it saved our nursing relationship. Once we finally were able to wean from it we went on to nurse great for almost a year. Maybe it's worth a shot!
I don't want to be annoying and I know they're seeing patients, but if DS needs to come in, I'd like to know sooner so I can plan my day... :-w
Though I'd share this tid-bit with everyone. I was induced with DD and didn't want that experience again so at my last appointment 5 days ago I asked my OB about it. This was her advice since I'm a STM, she said that when I have a contraction try squatting until it's over and it will help open up the cervix. So I did and DD got a very good laugh at it every time. BUT I went from closed up tight at 37.3 weeks to 50%effaced and 3cm dilated at 38.1weeks today. Although squatting out in Public seems to scare everyone, but really funny to see their reactions!! Hope this helps anyone trying to safety avoid an induction!!!
I'm sending all the labor vibes I can to my LB @MissMandyD since today's her due date and I keep checking my email every hour to see if anything is happening!
Sent my car for warranty repairs on Monday to a Nissan dealer that's closer to us and has a better service department only to find out that my rear defroster isn't working because somebody screwed up royally. The car was a factory demo and had been in a low-speed accident before we bought it, which wasn't a problem for us. Come to find out, part of the collision repair included removing the back window either to replace it or fix the rear end--they're not sure. Well, when they put the window back in, not only did they not hook the defroster back up, it is glued between the window and car so it'll have to removed again to be fixed.
The kicker? Not a warranty issue, so the dealer couldn't touch it without charging us, BUT because it was a certified pre-owned car, the dealer who sold us the car gets to foot the bill because they shouldn't have overlooked it. That's the good news. The bad news was having to drive it up through OKC morning rush hour to get it to Edmond. Dear Lord...I never ever want to do that again. Ever.
ETA: THIS was my morning.

I wish DH was here, I wish I wasn't being induced, and I'm just bummed about doing so much alone. I'm sorry I keep complaining. Maybe I need a bump break until I can quit being a Debbie Downer.
On the up side, I'm at Sonic right now eating a cheeseburger at 10:45am. The girl that brought me my food said, "Wow, you're looking large!" I told her I was having the baby in a week and not to judge me for eating a cheeseburger at 10am. She said she wouldn't tell a soul and for me to enjoy every bite. I have her a $5 tip.
