I would just like to take a moment to complain about the dry run we had to make to Labor and Delivery Friday night. I worked a half day Friday (my last day in the office) and then went into school for my first of five in-person Chemistry labs for the semester (I am doing an online class). In the middle of labs, I started to get an upset stomach and ended up rushing to the bathroom and then I started to get a migraine. Then the cramping and lower back pain started. Thank goodness we got out early because I was in so much pain that when I sent my OB a text, she told me to go to the hospital to get checked and if necessary she would come in. I drove all the way home in pain to grab my husband and he drove us in..for NOTHING! The second we pulled into the parking lot, I was already starting to feel better. Apparently I was having all sorts of irregular contractions, which I could feel because of the back pain and my daughter was moving around like crazy. I was stuck at 1cm and still about 50% effaced. I am so ready for this little one to just get here already and I have 2 weeks left!
I think little boy flipped breech. I had suspected transverse for awhile but I thought he had gone head down. Over the weekend, he felt weird, and I am pretty sure his head is up by my belly button.
I really wanted to have another VBAC, but after 36 weeks, not sure if he will flip back and cooperate. :-(
Ultrasound tomorrow morning and we can find out for sure.

My H just called and informed me that his mom called him in hysterics this morning. She was visiting with her dad this weekend and he told her that she is probably not going to see her granddaughter very often since I am closer with my family than with her. My parents and my MIL live in the same city about an hour and a half from us. We go down there to visit pretty often. But my family also comes to see us at least once a month. My MIL on the other hand, has only been to our house twice in the past year and a half. So sorry about it, but you don't make the effort. That's your fault, not ours.
@Partyof6? Oh, that's so frustrating! Fingers crossed; if he can move breech this late, he can move back, right? Is your practice willing to attempt a version? Are YOU willing to?
I hate NSTs. Something about being able to consistently hear the heartbeat makes me anxious. I am hoping to do intermittent monitoring once I go into labor. I also hate the hiccups, sorta the same reason. Remind me of a pulse and makes me anxious.
I am currently hooked up to the NST machine and baby has the hiccups at same time. It's like my worst nightmare come true!!!!! HELP!!!!!

Okay, I have a story from last night, so not technically Monday. And while it involved a lot of work and clean-up, the humour of it almost balanced out the bitchfest factor. But I figure it's Monday, you all can laugh at my misfortune.
My husband and I gave LO his first bath last night. Everyone had made such a big deal about "ooooh, they hate baths, he's going to hate it, get ready, he's going to scream." etc etc etc. So we prepped for that. He LOVED it. We have the AngelCare support, so dad was in there with him, the water was nice and toasty, and we used the blow dryer to warm up his towel, and then on his little body. He was practically vibrating with happiness... also, went totally spread eagle voluntarily so we could get his undercarriage. Hilarious to see. But not the funny part.
I guess it relaxed everything down there. He's already a prodigious pooper. But he let go a nice one right after the bath. Into a diaper, thankfully. So dad takes him to the change table in his room to deal with it. As soon as the diaper comes off, explosive poop that actually has airtime. I come running, just in time to see a second explosion go off. While my husband is doubled over laughing (baby was strapped in!), kiddo pees all over the table and himself. And the best part? The reason we decided to give him a bath was that he'd had a massive spit-up. So he covered all his excretion bases in under 20 minutes.
Upside is that I determined my incontinence has resolved itself: when my husband started laughing uproariously, I was in the bathroom changing my mattress-sized pad. I came running out before replacing it, saw the scene, and immediately doubled over in laughter, too. And nothing happened! I'd say on balance, it was a win.
We took our hospital tour last week and I was so irrationally annoyed and sad that we didn't get to see a labor room because they were all in use. I mean I get you obviously can't kick a laboring woman out to show a tour group but that was what I most wanted to see on the tour and didn't get to. I'm still kind of annoyed about it but there's not another tour coming up before my due date.
My 6 year old son had a chips and salsa lunchable yesterday in my van. I told him if he spilled cheese or salsa in my van, I'd make him lick it up. Well this morning, I discovered cheese and salsa on the floor. I asked him why he didn't tell me so I could get it cleaned up, and he gets all puppy dog faced and pouted "Mommy, I didn't want you to make me lick it off the floor." Now I have cheese in my van carpet and my kid took me too literally when he never does so I kind of feel like a bad mommy.
@CurlyCupcake21 is there any chance that you could just go see that one room without needing to wait for a group tour?
@SawyerRichardson it drives me crazy when people say things that 1. Don't concern them and 2. Just stir up issues. We live an hour away from all our family, and I just told my husband how glad I am that we moved out a little ways... because of my BF...
I had a novel written up about how bad our DDs bday party went this weekend, but I decided to delete it. To make it short and sweet, my mil sucks big time. She had me so irate I literally went up to my bedroom and cried about it, DURING THE PARTY. I already struggle with the woman, but since becoming pregnant, I just can't stand her. I started to cry now everytime we have to see her. I'm confident a lot of the emotional instability is due to pregnancy, but it's basically just my repressed feelings are surfacing about her and it's rough.
I've had a sore throat for 2 days and a headache since this morning. I'm hoping I can kick whatever this is soon. Who has time to get sick at this point??

SITB - I actually doubt that he would he is a high risk doctor and while he's very open to certain things it's not like seeing a midwife. Plus from what I've read that sounds incredibly painful. I've been looking at websites that show the different positions to try and I also have a chiropractor and an acupuncturist in the area that I've used in the past that I would be happy to talk to if they had suggestions. I had suspected he was transverse just because it seems like I always felt a lot of back all the way along the top of my belly so I don't know if he was head down and completely flipped or just went from transverse to head up. As much as I don't want a section there are parts of me that recognize just how much easier that would be for timing and scheduling and getting the kids places etc.

So i woke up at five to call the SDI people to make a claim. Then fell back asleep and 30 minutes later fheyncalled back tontell me my company doesn't use them anymore and to contact HR.
What the absolute fuck HR. You had one job. It's not like I don't work for a huge company.
@Partyof6? Totally reasonable; versions are not without their risks and complications. It's an option that's out there, but there are less risky ones. A girlfriend of mine who had a baby in December (who is a maternity doc, BTW) made the same decision you did. Do everything possible to move baby, but she ultimately decided a scheduled C was safer for mom and babe and future fertility (perhaps less of any issue for you ) than the small risks associated with a version.
I feel like I say this every time the "a" word comes up, but I'm a huge fan of acupuncture for all things pregnancy related, and I know there have been some studies showing it can help with breech positioning; make sure to ask for at-home points. One treatment probably wouldn't do it, but repeated stimulation of acupressure points (maybe with a moxa stick) might gently encourage babe to shift. Can't hurt, anyway. Are you checking out Spinning Babies? My friend I mention above swears by them.
I am so sick of my employer. I was informed (in staff meeting, in front of all my fellow employees) that my boss is planning on kicking me out of the office I have had for the three yrs. I've been here, and sticking me in a shitty room with no windows and no door, that my desk won't even fit in. All to accommodate new employees they will be hiring, in my current large office with brick and windows, and a door that closes. Tell me that is not complete and utter bullshit?! They have a habit of treating people shittier and shittier until they quit when they want someone out. Ever since I had a all disagreement with the director's butt buddy, and then even worse since I announced the pregnancy, I have been treated completely differently. I really feel like I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown. It took everything I had not to start screaming and crying and walk out the door. It's one thing after another and I feel like I am about to crack...
My MBF is work. I thought we had a fantastic plan of wrapping up things already on my plate and then all new stuff would be divided among the rest of the team, even if it's stuff I had experience with and could just "help" the team member working on it. This plan is entirely out the window now and my boss has assigned all these new projects to me. I am absolutely tapped out after 9 hours of being here every day and I cannot convince myself to work another single hour, so I'm falling behind very quickly. It is going to be a sh*tshow when this kid comes and I'm suddenly out with 20+ projects in the works.
And I asked if I could do a part time return starting at 8 weeks PP working from home and slowly transition to be back in the office, with the intent to be back full time in the office at 12 weeks. They've denied this request and said I can only do part time if I, today, decide what days I'm going to work and what hours I'm going to work, and it needs to 100% be in the office.
@poetryandoceans, yes Spinning Babies is the website I am looking at. Trying to figure out how to do that with kids around, they were all over me just on the fitness ball that came yesterday.
I used an acupuncturist during our fertility treatments, and I believe it helped absolutely!
Married - 7/29/06 Ben and Maggie - 4/10/09 Mia - 6/16/11 Surprise! due 2/23/17
@Partyof6? I used an acupuncturist when trying to get pregnant, and also had an induction session the day my prodromal labour started (could have been a coincidence, but I want to believe!)
I guess mine is technically a Sunday BF because it happened yesterday. My sweet little hamsters decided to build a giant bedding fort under their water bottle Saturday night while I was asleep so when I got up and went over to feed them Sunday morning I discovered they were sleeping in wet bedding as the bedding had been pushed up against the water bottle and drained the entire bottle. Well I was planning on cleaning them anyways but not right at that moment so that changed. They were both dry themselves thankfully and seem to have recovered just fine but it scared me b/c now I need to come up with a plan for them when I go into labor. I knew this was a risk as I've had hamsters in the past that have done this but this is the first time these 2 did it so I was hoping to just leave them be with plenty of food and water while I'm at the hospital. I shouldn't complain they are much easier to take care of then say a dog or cat but it's just one more thing to worry about.
Though they did make up for it by taking treats from my hand this morning. These two are really goofy, they love treats but won't take them if they are outside the cage and in the cage they prefer that I set them in their food dish or they won't touch them. I still always try to get them to take them from me because otherwise I have no way of making sure that 1 hamster doesn't get both treats and that is what usually happens because I give up and Gronk is way faster than Dezi at snatching food. DH just laughs as I shower them with praises for taking treats.

I can't get my body to shut down. We haven't even been home from the hospital for 24 hours yet and my body is screaming at me to take it easy and let my stitches heal... but I'm so anxious and feel like I'm still in nesting mode. I haven't slept for 3 days but I still can't decompress or let myself heal, I don't understand this and I don't like it
@yogadevil Totally normal!! My midwife warned me it would happen and gave me permission to take a gravol. My doula gave me permission to have a glass of wine (like, an adult sized glass, not a "I'm pregnant and have researched it and concluded that 4 carefully measured oz is okay" glass). Don't do both, but either one could be an option, if you're comfortable with it. That philosophy when it comes to alcohol and breastfeeding may not feel comfortable to you, but they were both ways of just giving your body permission to relax into this new place. What are your go-to self care things?
Oooooh, and my MIL decides to make an appearance on this thread. And it's not even noon where I am! She is texting me asking if it's okay for her sister to come and meet the baby. Her sister who has an undiagnosed personality disorder, her sister who is incredibly draining to be around when you, you know, don't have a newborn, and, on top of that, her sister who has a fucking UPPER RESPIRATORY INFECTION RIGHT NOW (which I only know because she ran into a friend of mine AT THE HOSPITAL* while we were still admitted).
Now she's playing it off as "ooooh I know, I didn't actually expect you to say yes, I just told her I'd ask"... Oh come on, if that were true, you would just wait an appropriate amount of time and say "Oh, I asked and she said no". Or, even better, "That's a dumb idea, you're sick. Wait like a normal person." I've always been pretty laid back with my MIL about things because I have a pretty thick skin, so I think she's testing boundaries right now. She is going to be unpleasantly surprised if she expects me to just roll over and make her happy.
*Now, she lives nowhere near the hospital. So she either was sick enough to be there for treatment OR she was sniffing around for the new baby. Either way: unimpressed.
As of Saturday morning our dishwasher is busted. It should be covered in the home warranty but ugh. What a PITA. Yes this is totally a FWP but keep in mind we have a house with 4 adults and 2 kids and we often entertain. We actually had people over for brunch when this discovery was made.

This is completely me, cora is a week old and the minute i feel halfway ok i end up overdoing it and knocking myself back to having to just go to bed and leave my husband to deal with everything as im just not able. After a rough few days ive had to admit im not superwoman and take things a bit easier. Your body has been so much and itll take some time to heal & recouperate.
@Xstatic3333 and @madamerwin haha I should set up a hamster cam. I used to have an app that used my old phone as a camera and i could look at them at any time but with them being nocturnal and all they didn't do anything during the day so I was just watching a bedding pile or sock (yes they like to sleep inside old washed socks) and hoping I saw wiggles every once in a while lol. I ended up stopping it b/c I'd drive myself crazy wondering if they were ok when I didn't see movement. Sometimes I'd catch a midday snack or water bottle trip though

@concreteangell, I hope you feel better soon! That's especially not fair after everything you just went through with your DS. You deserve some sick free time!
@yogadevil, I'm sorry you're feeling like that. Please know I'm here anytime if you need to talk. I hope you're able to get some sleep or rest soon.
@Rachelbd and @Patience7150, so sorry you're both dealing with crap at work. @Rachelbd, I'm so sorry they're treating you like that and making you feel that way. @Patience7150, could they be any more unreasonable? Seriously though? Wow.
@poetryandoceans, you're hilarious. I look forward to all your posts because they're usually one of three things, if not all three simultaneously... funny, relatable and actually interesting to read. Please, keep it coming!
@poetryandoceans why do sick people not logically know they can't be anywhere near your brand new baby?! Ugh! Sorry!
@yogadevil I think the first few days home from the hospital can be overwhelming for anyone. But if things don't settle down, maybe make sure your doctor knows? A friend of mine had post partum anxiety and didn't recognize it for months, thinking it was normal.
On the 11th (less than two weeks ago) my director officially assigned me a new analyst. I'd lost my previous analyst to a re-org that happened before the holidays. Now, I get asked almost every day if I've shown him X or if he knows how to do Y. No, he's not going to know how to do my entire job by the time I leave. Six weeks is not enough to train someone when I've been here 9.5 years.
Plus, the analyst is like a chihuahua, he wears a puffy coat inside the office all the time because he's so cold. (Go buy a few sweaters and layer, buddy.) And, he's left early (due to sickness) twice in the last handful of days. He's working from home today and had to re-schedule one of our training sessions.
I'm so frustrated because I brought up maternity leave over and over during re-org talks... And, now that it's a couple of weeks away, everyone if finally realizing that I'm not going to be here and that there are some things I do that no one else can.
I'm trying to get as much done before I leave as I can. But, I am tired and emotional and just not running at 100%. And, if anyone thinks I'm working on maternity leave, they have another thing coming.
Thanks lady! That really means a lot. I invest a lot in words and using them to connect with others and express myself, and it's really lovely to hear that it sometimes works
@FreshBakedBrownies I know, right? ESPECIALLY in January. One week old + influenza? So not on.
@MLRocha Totally feel your pain girl... It's like standing on a train saying "guys, this is a terrible idea" and every one ignores you until the wall is thirty feet away. H said last night he's taking my work phone and work laptop away when I go on maternity leave because of how they've been treating me the last couple weeks.
@MLRocha I totally get it. They stuck me with a new hire to train starting last month (our training program is 4 months long so I won't even get to finish training him) but they have yet to figure out my actual replacement for when I leave. I know they are secretly hoping I deliver late because if I go early, they are screwed. I barely have energy as it is, so doing two people's jobs right now is really starting to wear on me. Do the best you can but once you're on leave, completely unplug and let them figure it out!
@MLRocha I FEEL YOUR PAIN! My replacement is technically 2 people -- one is FINALLY coming on next week on Monday. The other hasn't even been hired yet. So I am trusting my boss to train them and I do NOT trust my boss to train them. God knows what I'm going to come back to but it will be chaos.
@Patience7150 I'm in the same boat. I'm turning off my phone. I will not be answering calls. I'll be busy.
