Welcome to another week!
I'm just oh so tired!
I definitely have a clogged milk duct in my left breast and it's so sore
(
I'm also afraid something else is going on bc my nipples both burn so bad. I tried to brush it off as something normal due to pumping, but this doesn't feel normal. Ugh. My first PP OB appt isn't until Friday but I may have to call today to see if I can be seen sooner.
Happy Monday ladies!

Re: Monday Randoms
@JamieK1882 good luck even with stool softener it still wasn't comfy for me.
@uncharted01 hope you get relief soon.
@NinerGirl52 hope your able to get some sleep.
DH who's mostly asleep was kind enough to remind me to put the SIDS detector on DD. So far tonight it's had 2 false alarms that he's slept through & 1 that woke him up. It's been turned off since 20 mins after we went to bed. I get he's worried since his brother almost died of SIDS but I feel it's over kill and we tend to have so many false alarms that you slept through. I'm going to blame them tonight all on DH since it wasn't clipped well to the diaper and hopefully I did it correctly.
You will be totally fine while H is at work!!!
Any input would be fab.. I will ask the nurse when she comes in again but she is not very nice.

@minibean16 The randoms threads are how I keep track of days too! Otherwise it's all just a blur
Still pregnant! Maybe I'll end up having my Turkey Day baby after all. There was a time last night that I must have peed three times in the span of five minutes and was wondering if one of those times was my water breaking. I'm searching for any signs that I'm going into active labor now since the due date is on Thursday. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow that I was hoping to not have to go to, because I was crossing my fingers that I'd have the baby by then. Well, I've still got the rest of the day!
@Ashris13 - I was frustrated with the nurses in the hospital too when using the nipple shield. They kind of just gave it to me and said, here use this to help LO latch on. Here's a website with so me good information on nipple shields: https://kellymom.com/bf/concerns/child/wean-shield/
I would recommend contacting the hospital's Lactation Consultant to have them help you out it. Good luck to you!
I'm in so much trouble as I have a mini me who only wants things her way.
I timed feedings so she'd eat when DH's alarm would go off and she wakes up 30 min. before screaming with an insanely large amount of poop in her diaper.
@heisenberg and @audreym0824 good luck with your inside babies fingers crossed for a smooth and quick labor.
Then I started changing her diaper and cleaning her up....more poop all over the changing table.
Happy Monday.
She finally ate pretty solid got the hiccups and is now asleep on my chest as DH is sleeping as well. Looking forward to my turn in the sleep line.

I've had a very easy and healthy pregnancy and I almost feel like this is my punishment. I keep thinking of someone I know whose baby died under a very similar situation to what is a probable outcome for me- failed labor, fetal distress and emergency section. I just want my baby to be healthy and honestly for myself to survive the ordeal without any serious complications. It's hard for my head not to go to dark places right now.
I do have a stroller and plan on using that for the appt today.
@Ashris13 - Yes, I was concerned about that too while in the hospital, but LO literally would not latch on unless I used them and I was getting desperate. Eventually he wouldn't even latch on with them, but I think that may have been my fault because my nipples were so torn up that I was probably tense and he could sense it. You can try to wean off of using them as time goes by, but I think as long as you're diligent about emptying your breasts AFTER each use, you should be fine.

I hope you're all doing great!!
@hiketheworld good luck with your induction! Sending prayers and positive thoughts!!
That is very encouraging! Thank you!
We are now snuggled in bed and she is sound asleep. Praise Jesus!!
Good luck to all the mommas welcoming LOs today!!
Get well wishes to all who are sick, fighting mastises, healing from delivery and to my sweet little adopted niece, Addison!!
Inside baby here, @heisenberg and every morning I wake up depressed that I didn't go into labor in the night. I think I miiiiiight be in early labor now thoigh...I'm having contractions about a minute long, every 4 1/2 minutes...we shall see of they continue!!
@hiketheworld - I am so sorry about the scares from your doctor! Successful inductions are done all the time, but if so thing does go wrong, at least you're in the right place!!!
@uncharted01 - hooray for a successful BF session.
@hiketheworld - I haven't had a chance to post my birth story but I have to tell you about my induction.
I had super high blood pressure during my NST and they made me stay for induction. I was petrified because of the negative outcomes I'd heard. I also developed GD so everything combined made me more at risk for c section and complications. Also, I was not dilated and baby was still very high up.
I had a freak out emotional crying session when doctor told me I needed to stay and discussed complications.
Then I got my head in the game.
I was started off slowly on misoprostil, we did 6 doses of that which got me to 4 cm, then we did pitocin. I began the induction on Friday at 9:00 pm and began pushing on Sunday at 2:30 pm. Labor was slow but I only pushed for 30 minutes and had a successful vaginal birth! No issues or complications!!
I say that to say this- your mind frame is so important when the induction begins. I reminded myself that millions of women have perfect inductions. I stayed positive and celebrated each little victory. Also, use your nurses and their knowledge. My nurses were super supportive when I told them of my fears. We connected and I feel like I had them on my team.
Give yourself a moment of freak out and then get focused. Don't be afraid to use us and share with us your little victories. Going from 0-4 cm was a huge victory for me and i told everybody! lol
Take it one moment at a time.
Good luck and I will be thinking of you.
Towards the end of this pregnancy, I was all... hell no to baby #3, twins & done, I'll never do IVF again. My thoughts are starting to change now that our girls are here though. Not looking to be the next Mrs. Duggar, but at 27, the thought of closing up shop makes me sad.
...Things you probably shouldn't contemplate while hormonal / sleep deprived lol.
It's twin girls!! Born on 11-2-14!
She also sleeps in the snuggle nest between us at night. Would your DH be open to that? We compromised on it.
@hiketheworld I was induced at 37w4d and from induction to baby it was 6 hours. It can be done. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
As for another baby, I'd like to be pregnant again by this time next year. I had a high risk pregnancy, with hypo active thyroid diagnosed, as well as pregnancy induced high blood pressure, and felt great the whole time. My dr laughed when my daughter was born at 9lbs 4.8oz that everything they worry about with my complications clearly did not effect us. Within hours of the birth, my bp was back to normal. I'm back below my pre pregnancy weight now, but ideally would like to lose more before getting pregnant again.
Mama to sweet baby girl, Emerson Rose, born November 7th, 2014
Question about BF. I am returning to work in about 5 weeks. How long before should I start pumping and storing? Also when is a good time to start introducing the bottle?
@songbirdsinging55 I don't have the answers except that my pediatrician recommended introducing one bottle feeding a day at 3-4 weeks so she doesn't reject the bottle once it's time to start daycare. The LC at our hospital also said to start stashing one month before going back to work.
In other news...First day home alone with Lila also happens to be the day the building is testing out the fire alarm system! Talk about timing...
I was so excited last night. I got all 3 kids down early. Instead of going to sleep though I worked on homework that I'm way behind in. When I was about to go lay down, Alexis woke up. Before I got her back to sleep Levi woke up too. I sat and nursed him for over an hour with Alexis still awake, when Evan also woke up. It took another couple hours to get all 3 back to sleep. That included tandem nursing and DH coming home from work and helping me in the middle. I eventually went to sleep putting Alexis back to sleep, while DH stayed up with Levi who just wanted to be held.
@uncharted01 woo hoo! So happy baby loved the bitty!!!!
