  • I was up from 3am to 5am today for no reason. I know my pregnancy has been relatively easy and I shouldn't really complain at 38.5 but I'm ready for this little guy to come out. Or for some good, hip and knee free pain sleep through the night. Makes it really hard to work at my job.

  • It is -15 today and I'm not looking forward to taking DD to the bus stop.
  • @britb618‌ And @ExcitedMama2‌ I'm so with you on contraction confusion! My problem is even when I labored in the hospital on pit and got to 5cm before my epidural, I never had breaks in between contractions because of back labor. I've had several bouts already that have felt just like that (definite painful contractions with back labor like pain) but it makes them so difficult to time!! It's so annoying because you'd think as a STM Id know what the hell is going on, but clearly I don't. In case my uterus is taking requests I'd like to have either no more of this false labor bullshit and proceed to my RCS as normal, or for my water just to break so there's no question!!

    @Skylerpete‌ I'm glad to hear a good review of the hospital pump! I had major supply issues last time so my plan this time is to rent that one and then see how things go before I get a new pump.

    Also I just saw my closest childhood friend had her baby last night (she also had her first about 10 days before DD was born). They haven't posted anything but her MIL is blowing up her FB announcing it... I know that probably shouldn't annoy me, but it does!

  • 38 weeks today and 1 week till RCS! It is bitterly cold here as it is everywhere I guess. They are talking 11 below with the wind chill. Blech and the kids have preschool this morning. Going to have to start our shitty van about 45 minutes in advance to try to warm it up slightly... Prepping for Bean's 5th birthday party today then dinner at my parents. DS3 has a cold. Boo!
  • I am super crampy this morning :(  I really want to go back to bed but I need to get something done that only I can do.  Then I can go home if I'm not feeling better.

  • It is really cold here and I don't have a jacket that closes. My belly got cold even with the 50 foot walk from my car to my building today. It's time for baby to come out so I can stay warm. I am sure she is in there telling me heck no- she is warm and comfy in there.

  • I've been so ready to get this baby out...but this morning I'm getting really nervous....a 2.5 yr old and a newborn. God help me!
  • Good morning! DH didn't leave me enough coffee this morning. RAGE. I would use this as an excuse to go get caribou but it's -40 with the windchill so I can't bring DD out in that just for coffee. :(

  • @AlfiesMOM - great job sticking up for yourself!!!

     

    A truck with PVC pipes on it lost half it's load right in front of me today... I'm lucky I wasn't tailgating!  I drove around them and caught up with him two lights down, he was completely oblivious that he had lost his load!  (that sounds dirty).  Then he cut me off to make a u-turn... YOU'RE WELCOME JERK!

  • @caitlindenise and @luckypenny1231, I am sooo with you ladies on the concerns over the older baby, DD just turned 18 months and she is SUCH a mommys girl. I keep telling my husband his son better want to hang with him because I can't have two kids attached to me that are that young! Over christmas I was holding my niece who is 6 weeks old and she kept saying "my momma" and crying pointing to me holding the baby. The next day she seemed to get used to it and was more interested in holding the baby, tickling babies feet etc. but I am not sure how she will react when I'm stuck breastfeeding this kid constantly and she just has to sit there patiently waiting for my attention...as in she won't! lol. what can you do? people keep telling me it will be worth it once they are a little older and I'm done having babies and they have each other to distract each other but I am really nervous about the interim. 
  • Good morning! DH didn't leave me enough coffee this morning. RAGE. I would use this as an excuse to go get caribou but it's -40 with the windchill so I can't bring DD out in that just for coffee. :(
    @LuckyPenny1231 - oh no no no. This would be world ending for me, I'm sorry.

    It's very cold here, too.. our windchill is -19C  (uh, I think -3F for you normal people) ... brrrr. Totally staying in today.

  • I have to write a self-assessment for my performance review this morning. I've been procrastinating on it for days and the baby is finally down for her morning nap... although it looks like today might be a cluster feed day. Hot cup of coffee in hand - now I just have to actually write the thing instead of procrastinating on the Bump!

    I was really worried as a FTM that I would struggle with PPD or not be able to adapt well to having a baby - I'm just super paranoid like that, and my mom and one of my aunts I think had PPD/PP anxiety issues (diagnosing them from memories of how they acted), but so far, knock on wood, things are going pretty well. I'm in love with my little baby and she's good company to cuddle with all day even though she requires a lot of work. I feel good about the little routine we have going. I do miss DH and sometimes get paranoid that he will stop caring about me/LO, but that is definitely not a reasonable concern. I sometimes feel like I got the short end of the stick, in that 90% of baby care winds up being taken care of by me, but it's just because LO is hungry and I have boobs. Once I start pumping DH can help out more. He already helps out a bunch, but it's not the clean 50-50 division of labor we have going on in other areas of our life. 

    Anyway! I am typing all of this because I am procrastinating like crazy. But I would love to hear how other new moms are holding up!
  • Ooh, also: does anyone else have Hot Milk nursing bras? If so, how do they fit? The size guide on the Hot Milk website was giving me a 38D, when I am normally a 34F, so now I am very confused.
  • I don't find cervix checks particularly uncomfortable. Aside from the fact that there is someone all up in my business.
    Me either.

  • I was wanting to lounge around today, then I remembered I have a mfm appt at 9 am! Now I've gotta put myself together, and I really don't want to.

    I broke my silence yesterday. I told him a smidgen of how I felt. He didn't even acknowledge me.
    Mmkay then. /shrugs

  • @britb618‌, can you let your dd snuggle with you while you nurse? Or read or watch tv with her? She'll adjust quicker if you can keep her included. That's been my experience anyway.
  • @bkmama‌, I want to say I followed their sizing advice with the hot milk bras. I liked them, I thought they were pretty!
  • @labellavida - I hope things get better soon!

  • Now I'm reminded I need to find my nursing bras and hope some of them aren't too warn out. Also, my boobs have somehow gotten smaller!! So I'm not even sure my nursing bras will fit anymore. Side effect of not gaining weight this pregnancy I guess. DH really noticed how much smaller they've gotten the other night!
  • the bank is dragging it's feet on our short sale, it's been about 4 months.  and now I'm being told by our mortgage friend that we could have a problem getting a mortgage while I'm on maternity leave.  So they better hurry the F up!

  • Omg. I've had contractions 3 nights in a row. Last night they kept me up until 2. They either need to go away or progress to delivery! (Preferably go away for now since I'm not quite 37 weeks)
  • I know this was talked about earlier in the week but I'd like to reiterate that I'd like to punch everyone in the he face who is checking in with me via texts/emails about how I'm feeling. Nope, no baby yet. You will get an email when he comes. Also, why weren't you checking in this much earlier in my pregnancy when DH was deployed and I was alone? As crappy as I feel now, this is much easier than that.
