This is exciting all the little babies getting ready to come. I had an appointment yesterday. I'm 1cm and baby is low. That doesn't really mean anything but maybe means progress. I'm in so much pain tho. Doc said I can dmtake unisome to get some sleep. I took one last night. It definitely worked and j felt all groggy and drugged this morning. But I needed it. We went to schlitterbahn yesterday to go swimming. It felt sooo good to float in the water.
Is anyone else feeling like we have a lot of things stickied on our board? Is there anyway to clean that up a bit? I feel like I have to scroll down a lot just to reach regular posts when I log on via my laptop.
pismoduo idk if it's a state thing or national thing, but my H takes 6wks of paid family leave for bonding time. It pays out the same as STD, but the sucky thing is that you're taxed on it. I get so mad that our STD for mat leave is only a portion of our pay. I feel like we should get 100% bc it has an end date (unlike someone on it for an injury) and it's our money that we've paid into it!! End rant. But that's awesome that your MIL is getting shit done. Woohoo!
cbowl ugh ditto. After I post this I'm taking a nap while DS does.
singingsea sucks about the wet bed! It's been a pissy and shitty last couple day for S16 lol
I didn't feel like cooking/cleaning up breakfast today so I took DS out to our local health food market/restaurant. I had to grab some things from there today anyways so it all worked out. After lunch I think I'll take DS to the park then make a target run. Hopefully my energy level is up for it! We're celebrating my stepmom' bday tomorrow so we get a date night!
Good luck lpj ! Hoping for healthy baby news soon!

I can clean up stickies but the problem was what to get rid of. I was going to unsticky baby items and/or freezer meals a couple weeks ago, but then baby items got used again and it was suggested freezer meals would be used more once we got closer.
We're probably getting close to being able to unsticky the baby shower thread.
Thanks everyone for the good wishes! Baby was born about 2.5 hours after we arrived at hospital and is doing well. He is 5lb 11oz and just under 20 inches. He's currently in the nursery for blood sugar monitoring but will hopefully come to my room from tomorrow.
flyakite, I'm hoping it'll work out well. And he has something like 200 hours of leave banked and is still accruing at a rate of like 7 hours a month, so he should be able to keep it up for a while.
Well my appt was interesting today. I was 4cm, so basically little to no progress since last week. But his heartbeat was pretty high and he hadn't been moving all morning. They had me monitored for almost an hour, thankfully everything was fine and they think I was probably dehydrated.
My doctor says her gut tells her that I'm not making it to my appt next week. I hope her gut is correct, she was right when she predicted that with DS. Fingers crossed!
DH and I finalized middle names for the girls and who will be their Godparents. Now only if we could agree on how to navigate the logistics of how we will introduce DD1 to the babies, then we would be all set....he wants her to come the afternoon/evening after I have the babies (if it's before bedtime) but I think it'll be best to have her come the following morning after I've showered and feel a little more normal.
