    I went to L&D Friday night because I was have BH contractions every two minutes for over 3 hours. Nothing I did stopped them. So, I called and went in for monitoring. They were one minute apart and lasting about 30sec when I was there. Not doing anything though, so they sent me home. BH were back to being sporadic yesterday. Between all the contractions and cervical checks, I am SORE.

    Glad that LO gets to stay put a little longer though. This is going to be a long month, I think.

    I feel like a bad mom. I keep switching from breast to formula. I don't feel like a bad mom because of the formula, but for the constant switching, I feel like in confusing the hell out of him. Poor baby :( one minute he lathes perfectly like before, and now, nothing but is soooooo hungry. Anyone have any tips?
    @VioletGjoni Have you worked with a lactation consultant on these issues? There are tons of things that might help, but it all depends on how committed you want to be to breast feeding. I think it is super hard in the beginning for most people. It was a HUGE struggle for me with my son at first, but we did everything in our power to make it happen. I worked with a lactation consultant and just stuck with it. I will promise you this, if you get through the first 6-8 weeks, it gets SO MUCH easier. I had to use a nipple shield for a while. I honestly hated it, but without it we probably wouldn't have made it because of latch issues in those early weeks. Good luck!

    French toast this morning for me also. It was amazing.

    I finally feel like my "must buy before baby list" is pretty much completed now. H has been amazing lately as I go through mini anxiety freakouts or complain about pain/discomfort/frustration. He has truly been amazing! I think he's just as nervous as I am, but is taking his role as support person very seriously to keep me calm. Thank God for the birthing class. Ever since the class it's like everything clicked for him and what he should do and he's very proud of his role.


    Waaay too many "amazings" but I'm too lazy to think of synonyms.

    Tell me about it! I'm pretty much experiencing the same thing you are.

    My H is still sleeping! It's freaking 820 am! He is supposed to take the kids out shopping today, and I was hoping they'd be gone by 9 am so I can enjoy a few hours alone. (Seahawks are on at 125 pm so they'll be home for that.)
    I want to paint my nails. Wrap presents. Do laundry, and pick up my room.

    A pedicure sounds so delightful though, so maybe I'll go do that, or maybe I'll wait for tomorrow since my H is on leave for a few weeks.

    Decisions. .....

    His ass needs to get up though, fo realz.

    We're brewing the Baby Beer today. It's a mango hibiscus blonde ale, which will turn out pink. It should be ready right around when she is due.

    That's awesome! My H used to brew beer but never did anything fun like that!

    My randoms: I downloaded a parenting book. I never thought I would be one of "those parents."

    We are going out to dinner for my sisters birthday tonight. I'm not looking forward to it at all. She is 22 years old and acts like she's 2 most of the time. She actually called me last night to make sure I was making her a birthday cake?! What?! This was never mentioned before! She said it's not a birthday without cake and I told her to make her own damn cake! I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable because I'm 8 months pregnant or if she is a giant self centered ass like I think... I kind of want to return her birthday present because of it. ;)

    I am also sick of people saying things like: "How great would it be to have a Christmas baby", "You would get a ton of great stuff if she was born on the 1st!", or of course "If she is born before the 1st you get the tax deduction"....... 1. A Christmas baby would be difficult to ever have a good birthday because we would be traveling to see family all the time.... 2. My birthday is New Years day and it SUCKS because nothing is ever open (including the drivers bureau which really sucks when you turn 15, 16, or 21).... 3. I don't care about the tax break its still too close to Christmas! 

    I really just want to go off on the next person that makes one of those comments.... pretty sure becoming ever more uncomfortable is bringing out the b**ch in me. Look out world, we got about 3 more weeks of this! LOL

    My EDD is Jan. 3 and I'm getting so sick of people saying they hope baby comes early so we get the tax deduction. I so don't care about that.

     

    That annoys me too, My due date is Jan 8th and I'm actually hoping baby hangs on to at least Jan 1 because if I go out before the end of the year, my 2015 vacation time that I am adding to maternity leave would be pro-rated. I dont want to have less days with the new baby because its 12/30 instead  of 1/2 or something

    Ugh. Baby has settled in my hips, it feels like. This whole past week my hip, the whole belt area, keeps getting this stabbing pain. The only way to get rid of it is to sit on all fours with my head on the floor. It hurts! If anyone else has other ideas to get comfortable, I'll take them!

    This.

    Try a heating pad- it has been my saving grace!! The pain is the worst at night.

    It drives me nuts that we have had dense fog for the past 2 days and cars still drive around without their headlights on. I can't even see down our road more than a couple houses.

    My EDD is Jan 14th and I keep getting it too. I always respond, that'd be two weeks early so let's hope not. Also the further away from Christmas the better. It's ridiculous how often people feel the need to say it.
    Same here - my EDD is Jan 14 and ppl keep telling me that he might come during the holidays. I am so annoyed that I've started telling ppl that if that's their thoughts we can talk after baby is born.

    @LuckyPenny1231‌ I totally think your sister is being selfish. I'm also confused as to why she just can't get dessert at the restaurant.

    Just got a call from my husband. He's on his way home. He thinks he was pick pocketed. His whole wallet and all the cash in it, gone!

    I know. He's pissed. I'm pissed.
    It was supposed to be enjoyable spending time with the kids shopping for me, but the kids are fighting. Owen crying. Now his whole wallet and couple hundred bucks, gone!
    Hopefully he just misplaced it. Or someone was kind enough to turn it in.

    I'm not holding my breath though.

    @LaBellaVida-- but the license is in it?  Not having to get a new one might be worth losing $100 since you'd lose more than that in time equivalent of your life waiting for a new one at the DMV...  (Or are you a Canadian mom...  Do they have such inefficient offices up there?  haha)

    Yes. Everything was in it. Just $100 was taken. Only in $20's. He had 5's, 10's and dollar bills in there, but only the bigger bills were taken.
    He said he remembers leaving it at customer service because he was going to pay and order something. Then he left. The customer service employees claim that a store worker turned the wallet in, but "didn't know who. " anyway. .... He's heading back now to talk to the actual store manager since he's the only one allowed to watch the film back. Hopefully it'll show who at customer service had possession of the wallet.

    I told him though, at least it was only 100 bucks. It could have been worse. Still shitty. ... But it's not the end of the world, and we'll recover just fine.

    Just sucks though that someone (potentially a store worker) would steal.

    Sorry to all of the ladies with aches and haven't been sleeping well :( I've had some aches but I have been sleeping ok. We're almost there!

    I had a really weird dream last night that I tried to breast feed my dog. Then I had another dream I worked part time at an adult store.

    I texted my mom during church this morning (my parents played church hookie) that "baby" wanted her chocolate chip cookies. I...I mean baby, had been craving them. She text me back saying she was in the process of baking them. Guess where I went after church :D

    @LaBellaVida‌, @StarLiteKiss‌ is right - my friend lost her wallet, and someone turned it in to customer service. Everything was still there. A few days later, huge charges started appearing from her CC and debit, which she still had. Her having the cards gave the thief time to do what he wanted without worrying she was going to cancel them since she thought she was safe. It's a total pain, but I would prob cancel everything in that wallet. OR, at least make the banks aware that his wallet wasn't in his possession for a bit in case charges do show up. We're still fighting with Comerica over charges to my husbands debit he didn't make that are over $1,000 when he didn't report his card stolen in a timely manner. Not fun.

    Ugh that sucks about your husbands wallet and the 100 bucks. Some stores request a warrant to look at security video so reporting it would be good.
    I hope they catch the person who did it.
