Re: Hodor 2.0!!!

  • So...I had my first full caff coffee in months...I am bouncing but am afraid of the energy crash to come. :/

  • Soooo... does anyone else's baby sound like a balloon that a ten year old is slowly deflating by squeezing the air out of? 'Cause mine does. All the time.

    Haha yes. Freaks DH out but I've noticed that she mostly squeaks like that when she's perfectly content.

    Anybody else's baby clear their throat after they cough or while eating? LO does it every time and she sounds so damn polite about it that it seems like learned behavior (obviously I know it isn't because she's done it since day one). I giggle every time.
  • Mine fell asleep after nursing, smacked his lips in his sleep, and woke himself up. It was insane adorable!

  • This kid is insatiable. Every night it almost brings me to tears. Pray I keep some sanity tonight as it seems he's started even earlier than usual.

    Boo!  Me too!  DH came home early and took the LO, so I could nap.  I am so tired...but as soon as I lay down, I couldn't fall asleep.  Had a nice hour long rest, but not the same!

  • I absolutely hate poop, but I get it on my hands now at least twice a day. It's not as bad when it comes from the man of my dreams (LO, not MH)!

    "I'm feeling twenty twoooo" it's my birthday at midnight! I'm actually feeling like a cow being consistently milked for the past 24-48 hours, how long does the growth spurt thing last?

    Heyyy, I just turned 22 a few days after my LO was born also! Happy early bday :smiley:
  • Thanks @gdaniels77‌! And happy belated to you!

  • If you still have an inside baby, there is no reason to jump ship for j15. D14 is for moms due in December. Doesn't matter if you deliver then or not....right?! Right! I was D10 with my DS and he ended up coming early in November. I was and still am D10 for life! :D

  • We'll stay - but only if you bishes tell us what helped get labor started for you! Been having back pain and inconsistent contractions for over a week. Been walking, screwing, eating spicy food, and bouncing on the exercise ball for 2 weeks. Fingertip dilated. Ladies - give up your secrets. I know you got 'em!

    I've never commented on this thread before, but I hope it's ok to start - for really, really sore nips get some soothies gel pads - you store them in the fridge and they're reusable for 72 hours. They are expensive but they work so well. The nurse in the hospital with my first gave me a pair and they were a lifesaver because he turned my nips into hamburger meat for fun. 


    The lactation consultant told me I should squish my boob to help lo latch in. She said, "you know, like how you squish a Hamburger so it will fit in your mouth?" I think of this every time she latches on, and usually tell her to get the Hamburger in her mouth. Motn sleep deprived feedings it makes me laugh so hard!

    I used my breast pump for about 5 minutes on my due date, went into labor a few hours later and had her the next day! Coincidence? Worth a try.

    I stopped doing anything. Tools baths and naps and had a glass of wine. The day after I had my first glass I lost my mucus plug, then the next day with the same routine I went into labor! Lol
  • Not leaving. Just having a pity party last night since I didn't have a D14 baby.
  • At dinner the night before I delivered, I just told everyone I was fine, no sign of going into labor anytime soon, and I would see everyone the next day at a party we were going to go to. Woke up at 4:30 am when my water broke. So, just tell everyone you're not going into labor anytime soon and you'll go ;)@amedbery‌

    Poor latch could be the reason behind sore nips. Something here might help:

  • @amedbery‌ medical induction! Chalupa was ready to come out but my uterus was trying to hold him in. It took a team of nurses to convince it he needed to be an outside baby. Also, stress from dealing with my family. It made my blood pressure go sky high. ;)

  • Yeah - I go in Tuesday and I think we will schedule an eviction date. My OB didn't seem real comfortable with me going much past next week. I'm just really hoping to avoid a cs and if labor begins on its own then that may help my chances. Patience was easier before the pain and nausea set in, but I can deal for another week or so. The weepy-ragey hormone cycle keeps things interesting. As long as baby's healthy, I'll deal.

    @Serunatu‌ - I've definitely been enjoying baths and the occasional glass of wine, too! @irish2014‌ - I've told everyone the baby will have the same birthday as DH (January 11). So far, she's calling my bluff. This baby is already obstinate as hell.

  • @amedbery‌ - I got a manicure and my water broke less than 12 hours later.

  • So did anyone's water break before they were really dilated at all? Obviously plenty of women go in to labor before their water breaks and most have their water break in the hospital. Just kinda curious on the dynamics of that. My fluid is on the high side so if it breaks before I go in it could be pretty epic!

    Yep. My OB thought I was still a few weeks out so she suggested I start pumping for a few minutes a couple times a day just to give my body the idea of preparing for labor. I pumped for 15 min that day and the next morning woke up with back labor so I pumped again for like 5 min before starting to have real contractions.

    I know who's gonna start testing her pump tomorrow! Oh Lord - when y'all did - did anything come out? I had thought about trying this but I'm not sure what I'll do if milk comes out. Freezer, I suppose.

    I've heard listeria works but I wouldn't recommend it personally.

    Hmmm. Think I'll try the pumping thing first. Then maybe listeria. But definitely pumping first!

    You won't get milk or anything, but you might get colostrum!

    -----QBF-----

    I just attached the little vials that only hold a couple ounces, and combined I only got about a cm of colostrum (can't remember how much it was in volume...). I froze it, but I forgot all about it until after my milk had already come in!
