Saturday randoms

good morning all! I am up feeding my LO. This time last week I was getting settled into my post-partum room and enjoying a night of epidural assisted sleep. This past week has been the fastest week ever but has also felt very slow at times. It is amazing at how much better breast feeding has gotten since day one. LO should finish soon so I won't be up much longer.

Re: Saturday randoms
Hubby works for a moving company, driving the trucks and loading/unloading people's homes. During the summer, one check would take care of the house (we are some modest people at about 1600/month). He tweaked his back falling in the rain late july on the job. Went back to work, and two weeks ago reinjures his back lifting a piano (not by himself!!) The company is dragging their feet with getting him seen to strengthen his back, and called him in 1 day out of 6 when he was averaging 5 out of 6.
I dunno what to do anymore
Sorry so long, but needed that off my chest
Edit: cause mobile is hard
I also think our dog just keeps thinking: give the new puppy back, she's loud and takes away me time.
Hi ladies -- it's 3:44 in the morning and I went to bed a little less than four hours ago. Just up no real reason... Kind of wish it was because of labor but no such luck right now. Kind of frustrated because my OB told me Wednesday he had a "gut feeling" I was going to go into labor this weekend. Really buddy? It's Saturday morning let's see how much that gut feeling of yours is correct /:) my Grandma also told me "she's coming very soon I had a dream." I didn't know she was the family psychic lol... Needless to say I had my hopes up and had false labor Thursday but I keep telling myself I'm probably going to be induced so I might as well stop listening to people and getting my hopes up of going into labor and delivering at 39 weeks.
Hope you all have a good weekend!

I think I'm going to try an outing to the grocery store with little one today for the first time. I just plan to babywear and hope for the best
I'm surprised by how much better I feel from my c-section I feel already. In the first 24 hours I couldn't imagine walking down the hall but when were released on day 3 I walked out. When I first get up I'm a bit sore but it goes away so quickly and I can move so well.
@FhSTAR81--I'm so glad that crazy lady leaves today! I hope A recovers. And the sheets are up to you! I put them on beforehand, but it's not necessary!
And I hate when OB's tell you that you'll be early. Don't get our hopes up!
Louie hates sleeping on his back, to the point where if you put him down he will immediately wake up. This means he only sleeps on me. I brought up maybe just not swaddling and trying to put him on his belly (he napped next to me on the couch yesterday for 1.5 hours on his belly), and you would have thought I'd suggested boiling him in oil. Because somehow it's so much safer to cosleep (without a cosleeping set up) than to belly sleep? My H's logic confuses me.
And DD is sleep regressing to the point where she takes hours to fall asleep and requires someone in the room with her. I'm all about tough love for her, but H is a softy and sat in her room for 3 hours tonight. It's his choice, but he's creating a monster!

Wait, What?!? - EDD 11/1/19
Today is my due date. I knew deep down that I wouldn't be having a baby before today, but I really wish the midwife I saw 2 appts ago hadn't said, "I'd be surprised if you made it that far." It just got my hopes up for no reason. I also wake up every morning with strong back pain that comes and goes, but as soon as I stand up, I'm back to normal. Boo! Hiss!
The nonstop texts requesting the status of my ute started at 6:30am (!) yesterday. I feel special at the moment, but I'm wondering when that feeling will turn to annoyance. Oh well. I'm sitting on my couch in comfy clothes and trying to enjoy these last few blissful days of quiet.
GL to all the ladies having baybeez today!
He apologized this morning for being "lazy". He said he is sooo tired all the time because everything is so new with Emmy and work. I don't see how that's possible because I literally do everything for her so he can focus on work. I don't mind doing it all. I actually love it because I know she is safe with me and I don't have to worry about him or anyone else messing up!! It's just so frustrating to have him snoring away while she is pitching a fit!!
I feel like a bad mom though. She wasn't fighting sleep last night she was starving!! I finally figured it out after trying to breast feed her on and off for two hours. I had no milk coming out because she has been cluster feeding. Luckily I had a bottle in the refrigerator that I pumped yesterday morning. As soon as I gave it to her she calmed down and went right to sleep. I'm starving my child.
I'm 39 weeks and 4 days... And *fingers crossed* something happens today. I know it isn't an exact science but seriously... I'm tired of waiting.
Today is a Mother and Baby expo at the convention center this afternoon. I'm excited to go with FI. I love expos and all the booths they have to offer. I know I'm gonna find some cute stuff plus bonus - some walking around to encourage LO to make his appearance. :!! I just hope I can keep walking. Lately walking leaves me so severely out of breath. I literally have to hold on to FI or on something. I can't even stand for a long time without my feet and calves burning. So odd. Maybe it's scooter time? I can't wait to get back to exercising.
Still no baby for me. Shocker.
They just said we can expect 3-5" snow Sunday night into Monday. Maybe that will cause me to need driven to the hospital.

Eli was up every hour
And I really don't think it was because he was hungry.. He even had a 1.5 oz pumped bottle I between after I asked my hubby to please take him for a round and he was awake again a half hour later
I'm so tired... I love breast feeding but it's just so hard to be the only one who can do it.. It feels a little lonely sometimes I guess.
Plus on top of that it's been really hard for me with my other son. He has been soo sweet to Eli but you can just see how jealous he is! He just wants my attention so bad and I feel awful that I can't give it to him like I want to.
Anyway, sorry for the rant, onto another day!
Edit: off to do another blood test:((
I know a lot can happen in a week, but I'm starting to worry about induction. :-/
DH also keeps checking her temp, is convinced we need a faster thermometer and DD is always cold. She ran low end if normal all 3 days in the hospital.
The puppy sniffed her bobby last night and was very interested in it but backed away when I set down on it. Silly dog is now afraid of her and her crying.
So yup, officially starting to worry I'll hit Friday, 42 weeks, with no signs of labor and need to be induced
He was at a 15.3 Wednesday. I just want this to be over with:(
@IndianaMommy08 totally normal to cry along with them.
@hellosweetie18 I know what you mean about feeling like you're neglecting your other kid. Poor Gabby is getting shafted on mommy time, and I feel terrible. I can see her jealousy too. It should be an interesting weekend.
Operation take baby to grocery store was a success. He slept the whole time and the baby wearing kept anyone from trying to touch him! Good luck on your outing @bethas.
I'm so boring, and all I do is work, so I never have cute stories: today I have to AW what happened yesterday. My last class on my last day at work was my student government block. We get everything set up for the meeting when they announce that they're cancelling the meeting for today because they needed to find an appropriate way to thank me and say goodbye (since I get the whole year off).
So we all head outside to the student lounge, and they have secretly set up a huge baby shower for me! Every student I currently teach, or have taught, was excused from class to attend, and lots of other teachers were there too. Several families had sent in gifts, and the whole area was decorated in pink. They had 18 dozen sugar cookies, and endless supplies of frosting and sprinkles set up at a decorating station.
It was incredible! I could barely fit everything into my car to go home (resulting in a potentially unsafe balance of flowers and helium balloons!). Such an awesome way to say goodbye to my 'other kids.'
I was very impressed that I only cried four times yesterday (the fifth time no one could see, so that one doesn't count!)
