  • Good morning! Guess where I am right now... :D

  • Are you in labor?  I know you've been contracting awhile now...

  • That is great!  Congrats!  And, I'm jealous, of course!

  • Only downside to epidural for me is the itch, which is why I'm bumping instead of sleeping. So itchy.

    38w5days today. @snowbaby1214‌ I can't see sigs, how far along are you? Not much longer now! Enjoy the last few days - labor is a bitch. Fwiw, I thought I was totally tough enough to do it all natural. I am not..!!!! And you know what, I'm ok with that. Huge respect for anyone who chooses to go through that willingly.
    Agreed!  I have no desire to go without the epidural.  I don't remember it being itchy, though.  Good luck!  


    I am 39+1 today and no end in sight.

  • @elleswarth‌ That is great to know, thank you.

    @MusicFanatic‌ Sounds like a perfect morning. Can't wait to get there too.
  • Ugh, no change from 3 hrs ago when they put in epidural. Starting pitocin. Poop. My body is apparently really slow at giving birth.
  • Now I'm worried that the pitocin will lead to a c-sec :( scary... Sorry for monopolizing the thread.

    We got our daughter's ears pierced last night. She was all about it, then she didn't want it, then she did, then she didn't... it was quite amusing. She ended up getting it done, but the production she put on was priceless. She woke up at 3am because one fell out. I couldn't fall asleep after that. Shitty night of tossing and turning. This baby was very awake.

    Prepping us for outside baby sleepless nights.

    I won't write a book right now, but I will say that I was in early labor for two days with contractions every 5-10 mins, then active labor from ~9pm - 3am this morning, with contractions every 1-2 mins, and that I wimped out at 6cm/90% effaced and got an epidural. Contractions were brutal. Now BLISSFULLY waiting another hour or so, resting, until they come check my progress. Modern medicine is a fucking miracle. Might have baby for breakfast.

    Good luck! I'm just hoping you meant you might have baby *before* breakfast ;) hope you start progressing!

    DH wants to do a ton of laundry today which admittedly needs doing but I feel so unmotivated these days that I'm hoping he sleeps in super late haha. We have our hospital tour this evening so I'm excited for that!

  • Im awake. Kids are awake, fiance is at work. Oldest son is playing on his xbox360 while me and my 7yearold are snuggling and watching cartoons while I attempt to nap. My tailbone hurts too much to sit on ( the joys of baby girls weight putting pressure there) lol. Hot showers/baths are my thing lately, especially in with all the BH's/contractions. At some point I need to finish wrapping gifts but it is still early morning :-)
  • @bkmama Good Luck! Fwiw I had an epidural w/pitocin with DS and it did not lead to a c/s. After they started the pitocin I was fully dilated within 3 hrs. 

    I'm basically back on desk duty after a very busy work week last week. I only have 4 work days left this month becuase we are closed on wed/thur/fri this week and next.

     I've been so excited to see all of these beautiful babies being born. I totally kicked my baby prep into high gear as a result and I'm pretty much done getting everything ready now.

    Have a great day everyone!

  • I am officially 38 weeks today!!! Hoping to make it through to 39 weeks with no issues as I plan to head two hours away to see my family for Christmas this week. Looking forward to my appointment tomorrow to see if I have made any progress at all.... so far no dilation at any of my previous appointments even with pretty consistent BH contractions for the last month or two.

    Had a crazy dream last night about my niece and a huge blow out. I blame my mom who was warning my DH about how his life will soon revolve around poo but I woke up and almost puked. Icky!

    Get to see my parents briefly for lunch before they head home (5 hours away) and then my in-laws are arriving this afternoon for about a week (they live 8 hours away). I'm horrible and will totally take advantage of my mil cleaning and helping organize and decorate nursery for the final touches. I like doing stuff but decoration and arts and crafts stuff tend to stress me out instead of relax.
  • Good luck @bkmama‌! I hope you get to meet your LO soon!

    @HappyMonkey817‌ good luck to you too. I have to get those swabs done Wednesday (happy Christmas Eve to me). :|

    The only good thing about today is that I get to see my little sister. Other than that I'm anticipating more drama. I really hate this time of year. It was nice for the first week of December then my dysfunctional grandmother had to start shit. I won't bore you all with a long story but the short version is that my grandmother is a giant child and told everyone she wasn't coming over for Christmas and maybe even my shower (it's on the 28th) because my parents aren't doing a big dinner on Christmas Eve.... She wants Maine lobster tails and my parents told her that with all the money they have spent on her and her house ($3 grand) plus Christmas and my shower they weren't going to spend $15 a pound on lobster tails. She told them that before they moved to Georgia they always had a get together on Christmas Eve and ate shrimp and lobster tails (not true because I'm highly allergic to shell fish and she knows this!). The only get together my parents had was having my sisters god parents over. We would have a bunch of finger foods and get to open the presents they brought. I NEVER saw her or my great grandmother that day.
    She yelled at me for a good hour last night about how inconsiderate my parents and brother and I are and how she can't stand how we treat her like a second class citizen....I almost maxed out a credit card taking her 3 dogs to the vet to get up to date on all their shots and bought the expensive flea and heart worm shit because "you can't buy the generic stuff" (her words! Not mine). At the end of the appointment 1 needed xrays because his eye got some kind of infection (thank god it only needed antibiotics) but by the end of the appointments the bill was over a grand! All I got in return was "thanks hun, could you pick up some groceries on your way back?"...

    Grrrrrr! I'm done. I promise. I said I wasn't going to bore you all with a long story. I'm going to focus on shopping with my sister! We are having lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant and the thought of their salsa is seriously making my mouth water! Lol

  • @bkmama‌ Good luck!

    @elleswarth‌ You should get a really fancy mocktail just to confuse people and get their panties in a bunch...

    I am trying to convince myself to go to the grocery store. I know it's going to be packed.
  • Wait. I'm having my GBS test tomorrow. I have to have something stuck in my butt, too?

    They do it.  Just a quick swab, no big deal.

  • Mario brothers wii with DD4 and DS3 this morning then appointment this afternoon. It is my 36 week appointment and we are doing an ultrasound too. I imagine i will have the GBS too. Do they do that with RCS? I can't remember from my 2nd. I do remember they didn't go crazy with the internals which was nice. Had a dream last night that i was in the hospital for Christmas. :(. It is what it will be but i really want to get through Christmas and preferably through January 10th which is DD4's birthday party. January 14th is my scheduled Csec date.
  • haha @littlefoote, I agree, moving around in bed IS a workout! At least you can enjoy each other next week even if it doesn't bring the baby on! But hopefully if that's what you want baby decides to join you after some fun :)
