I hope we have some babies this weekend! I feel like we still have a lot to go?
DD went a 5 hour stretch last night. I wasn't able to sleep that whole time, but nice to know that she's able to do that! I knew she slept a long time before I even looked at the clock because my boobs hurt so bad!
The membrane sweep did nothing (I figured) so I am at work and have zero to do. Please keep me entertained today ladies. I will take all the baby pictures.
microworm I have had 2. It's frustrating for sure! I feel like my body hates me at this point.
So glad it's Friday and DH will be home for 2 days with us. Hoping something happens this weekend but not holding my breath. At this point I think I'm going to at least go to Wednesday if not over. Today we are having a play date. I am happy they are coming to us this time. It will be good to visit with another mom today. It's been a long week of car appointments and foundation appointments. DD and I haven't gotten out much to see others.
I'm not working after today. I wanted to work up until I go into labor, but I physically can't do my job anymore. It sucks because I'm just taking off 6 weeks regardless, so the longer she takes to get here, the less time I'll have after she's born before I go back to work.
On the good news front, DS has pooped on the potty for 4 days in a row first thing in the morning. He's doing great with PT at home. Now, if I could only get his daycare to reliably continue to take him to the potty, I think we could be almost trained by now. Yesterday his new teacher told me that sometimes she just changes his pull up because he says he doesn't want to go to the potty.....yeah I didn't have a good response for that one. He's 2. He wants to do almost nothing that I want him to do. That's irrelevant. He's starting at a new place soon, so I'm picking my battles.

I'll be praying she comes ASAP so you can maximize your time with her!! So sorry.

I'd be happy to have my baby this weekend. I was having mild contractions all night about 7 minutes apart. They stopped when I got in the shower this morning. Darn it! With my first, I woke up at 4:30 and knew I was in labor, and I was. With this one, I feel like it's just a tease every couple of nights that leads to nothing.
On a bright note, the doctor's not going to let me go past the 28th, so we at least have a definite end in sight.
We have G's allergist appt this morning and I'm super proud of myself. My goal was to have all 3 of us ready and out the door by 8:30. Yeah, we pulled out of the driveway at 8:25!! Fingers crossed that his appt goes well and we get some answers today!!

Still just waiting and hoping to go into labor before my induction on Monday night, but there's nothing going on to make me think labor is in any way imminent. I go in for another iron infusion this afternoon. The hematologist wants me to get another iron infusion Monday, but I'm trying to get out of that one. Otherwise just taking it easy today. If I am feeling very ambitious, I might go grocery shopping.
I hope she comes soon for you babyzebra! Having such a limited amount of time off for leave stinks, it would be nice to maximize it. I'll be thinking labor thoughts for you!
soultrane, nice work supermom!! Getting out the door early...color me impressed!
Today is my last day of work!! Yayy! These babies will be here Monday at the latest, and oh my gosh I just keep getting more nervous. I'm sure it's all FTM nervousness but I'm nervous about labor, I'm nervous that one or both won't be healthy (I have no medical reason to think this), I'm nervous that I'm going to be responsible for two helpless humans! AHH.

Great job! Getting out the door is so hard for us...and you did it early, too! What am I gonna do when I have to do all 3 girls hair?!? We will never be on time again!
txmommy14 yay for DD's sleep! I really hope you're able to start getting more rest yourself. microworm, I hope the work day goes by quickly. Long lunch & leave early?
Love tits out of commiseration-- I hope that things start moving along for all of us with inside babies!
I didn't schedule much of anything for today, I hope I'm not too antsy all day. I have a bunch of projects I could start but there is the new season of OITNB so I might just be lazy and watch that.

Yessss, microworm. DH has four more full days off with me - we are going to finish Kimmy Schmidt and the burn through OINTB.
C had a check up today. 99th percentile for height, 75th for weight and growing great. DH is a slim 6'5", so I'm assuming DS will be following in his footsteps.

Motherhood is so much more glamorous than I could have ever imagined. I was just on the toilet, gingerly patting my poor vag dry, when I feel water dripping on me. No, not water, milk. Milk dripping profusely through the bra I'm wearing.
We've also pooped up the back of one outfit and vomited down the front of another this morning. She's just hanging out naked now. Haha
I'm really impressed with this doctor! He took quite a bit of time with us today taking our family history and looking at the pictures we took of G's reaction last week. We weren't able to do the allergy testing today because he had taken his meds within the past 5 days (today is day 5 - womp womp) so we have to go back on Tuesday for testing. But by the time we got home, I had a follow-up voicemail from him mentioning some additional info and a full recap of our appt by email. Color me impressed!!
babyzebra, that's impressive progress on your DS's potty training! Pooping in the potty was harder to get the hang of for my DS but once he did it was smooth sailing.
Quiet day here today, DH is working from home and DS is at preschool. I had to go to see my OB yesterday since I've been having headaches pretty much since giving birth which now appear to be caused by high blood pressure. My BP was normal/good all through pregnancy and blood tests have (fortunately) ruled out post partum preeclampsia so not really sure why it's high.
I figured out this baby likes to sleep unswaddled during the day which is nice as she seemed to waking herself up trying to fight the swaddle in the middle of her daytime naps and I like that her movements aren't bothering her. Plus she looks adorable when she is sleeping with both of her arms up, will need to get a picture.
We had an awesome anniversary dinner last night. When we got home i was really feeling crampy and assumed it was from my apt. earlier that day. Then I was feeling pretty gassy so I assumed it was the food since it was way nicer and more than I have been eating regularly. I slept terrible and got up a few times and I'm not sure if they were contractions that were then causing me to have to pee or if the fact I had to pee were causing contractions. That continued this morning...pooped twice (super unusual for me) and have been having random cramping/pain/contractions maybe? I was just at the doctor yesterday and was only 1.5 cm with no signs of labor. I feel ridiculous that this is my second kid and I don't know if I'm in labor. My guess is very early labor but who knows how long this could last. I'm now in a panic of when I should have my parents come (they are 6.5 hours away) and lining up a sitter for DD1 (of course it's the 1 night our nanny can't stay or be flexible). Or then again it could just be nothing.....it's not easier the second time around ladies...at least not for me!
I feel like I've been in the hospital forever and waiting for milk forever. I'm also so tired. This hospital is great in some ways and sucks in others. Like I've been waiting over an hour for a bottle of donor milk. Luckily she isn't freaking out at me but she sure could be. My wife went home to be with our daughter who we haven't really seen in 4 days so I'm here alone. And I'm that bitch who is gonna push the call button every 15 mins.

There is a limit to how many clothing changes I do. On the plus side her diapers are at least cute.

They've made you wait AN HOUR for a bottle?! Holy cow, that just doesn't seem right!

Do you get to go home soon?
I agreed to stay til tomorrow cuz I wasn't comfortable with her feeding or lack of weight gain. But seriously I buzzed them at least an hour ago and have fed her on both sides since and she's started to get mad cuz there's nothing coming out. Yesterday I was a hormonal mess of tears. Today I seriously might turn into a sarcastic B.

Sent DD1 to daycare today. Iv feel bad, but seriously can't handle another day of screaming like yesterday. Idk how those of you with toddlers without help do it. Hopefully she has a good day. She really struggled after daycare Wed and has been a fussy, clingy, screaming toddler since then.
I plan to do noyhing but snuggle the baby and nap today. My house is a disaster but I'm going to ignore it
