H made the comment last night that today is April Fool's day, and the giraffe's name is April...giant, elaborate hoax? Because that giraffe has been in labor for weeks!
Guys. I got 6 hours of sleep. I went to bed around 10:15. H put the baby down. He likely gave C a bottle. Not sure when baby went down. I slept until 4:30. Usually I wake up to per, think I hear the baby, the dog makes noise. But I was out. It was amazing. (Of course it's now 5 am, and when I'm done feeding the baby, he'll probably end up wide awake and I'll be up for the day, so there's that.)
That poor animal is still in labor? Is that normal for giraffes? Everyone was already freaking out about her giving birth when I was still pregnant over a month ago
I don't think she's been in labor, just close to her due date. I haven't really been following, but now she is apparently showing signs of readiness.

I'm up for the day. I just walked around the house nursing dd while I waited for the dog to get doing whatever he was doing outside. We got my pump stuff ready so it was productive.
jnow fwiw, I've had even fewer BHs/contractions in the last 12 hours than I've had all the last couple of weeks. So I'm pretty sure I'm heading for induction next Friday. At least April has a pretty birthstone...?
Today is my due date! Nothing exciting to report. Going out to lunch with family, then for dinner I might either make ribs for the first time in my life or order that labor pizza. It's supposed to be pretty nice out today (SUNSHINE!) and 50 degrees, so perhaps a little walk/hike is in order too.
My dog's jowl is normal this morning, so the swelling was probably something pretty benign like an insect bite or maybe he bit his own lip when chewing his bone or something.
I'm pretty sure my child just tried to dive head first through my cervix. I just had limbs shooting straight up and crazy pressure down low, I felt like I was being split open. I was hopeful that would break my water but no luck. Going out to shovel heavy snow to see if that helps!
I just stumbled across something kind of cool- it's called g.et rec.ently and you can basically make a magazine out of your camera roll either once a month ($10 a month) or quarterly ($13 a quarter), and family can "subscribe" to it and get a copy too. Kind of a cool idea to automatically print pics as baby grows- I might do the quarterly one. I always forget to print photos and they inevitably get lost in digital land. This sounds like an ad/commercial and I'm sorry- maybe it's total shit, I'll let you know.
It's April; my son turns 2 this month! I can't believe how grown he is. *cries a little*
For you ladies that remain, the birth stone of April is a diamond! It pairs super well with all the other stones so if you are trying to get mother's jewelry of any kind, you can't go wrong lol
