I am meeting a friend who had a baby 2 days after me for a walk and coffee this morning before I pick up DD1 from school. My bleeding had stopped and now it's back. Ugh!
I'm heading to my OB appointment -- last visit she said that if I hadn't gone into labour by today she was going to schedule induction due to the baby measuring big from GD. I'm anxious to have an end date set, but hopeful that my body gets it together before then.
DH is coming with me today, he normally only comes to ultrasounds but I feel like I could use his support and I want him to hear the details of our possible induction firsthand.
Can't wait to join all of you with outside babies sometime soon!
I feel not so great today. I've been feeling a lot better the past several days since I've been off of work and able to rest, but today is blah. DS woke up about 5 times last night all because his stuffed monkey was not in the exact correct position. Toddler problems are serious business.
babyzebra - toddler problems are serious business. Last night there were so many tears and screaming and yelling because I put DD1's water in the wrong cup for bedtime. The world was legit ending. I took the dirty cup she wanted out of the dishwasher and filled it hecause I'm still sore and tired and didn't have time to deal. Good thing she only really likes water so how dirty could it have been?!
I'm finally feeling halfway better today. I feel like I can move around (slowly) for the first time. Still painful to sit regular but I have been able to maneuver around a bit to make it somewhat bearable. I think my parents are leaving town tomorrow and I'm so sad. They have been such a big help I can't even explain. Plus I just le them being around and seeing them with my kids.
My bleeding had slowed way down and now it seems to have picked up a bit. I'm also feeling crampy today and haven't felt that way in a few days. Oh well I guess I'll take this over the extreme pain from the stitches.

I'm doing ok. We did misoprostal to star. It didn't do much and based on the time we switched to cevadril to try and avoid MOTN labor. When that came out his morning I've had contractions every 3-5 mins. They just started pitocin. So hopefully the contractions pick up but not too much before I get my epi! Lol so I guess there is some progress but it's slow. They are hoping for a baby before dinner time.
Thanks for all the well wishes everyone I'm feeling a little more optimistic because I'm now at 3 cm and much thinner and softer than last week. Hopefully labour starts on its own in the next few days, if not, induction is scheduled for Tuesday. The end is in sight!!
Good luck to everyone with appointments! We are in the June 2016 home stretch! I am at the airport waiting to pick up my dad who is coming to meet the baby! He will be here for four days.

Guys my OB/GYN cleared me for everything today. DD is only 5 weeks old but since it was an uncomplicated vaginal delivery he felt good clearing me today. I also start the mini pill tonight while I decide what route I really want to go since we are done.
Any thoughts on Mirena or Nexplanon?? I've always been on a pill of some sort or nothing so other than that I know nothing.
I'm glad your appointment went well and your OB cleared you lakecountrygal. I talked with my OB a few weeks ago about birth control options and I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the mirena. I've never had an IUD before and only have experience with the pill, so I'm a little nervous about the whole thing.
Happy walk bighair12! Good luck at your appointments ladies. Sounds like we'll have more June babies soon! My mom leaves in two days so we're going to try and get some projects done this morning. Ds2 has his 2 week appointment today. At my 6 week appointment I'll be discussing iud. I hate birth control but we do not want any surprises. Between ds1 and ds2 we just used the pull out method but I don't think we're willing to risk it this time. nymama917 I'm sorry you're pain isn't subsiding quicker.
OB appointment went okay. I made my induction appointment for the night of 7/6. No changes to the state of my cervix. So the wait(&weight...already up 50lbs) continues.
My big kids are seriously stressing me out. They absolutely cannot follow direction/rules and DH doesn't seem to care. In fact he makes it worse. I'm about to become super strict mommy and lay down the law. Why is being consistent and following through so damn hard? Probably because for a few days the girls are going to be in a constant state of screaming/yelling and time out.
It's so hard with the baby taking so much of my time. I'm trying to remember to do fun activities with them while baby sleeps...
It's been so flipping hot here we can't even go outside to burn energy...
I'm glad your OB appointment went fine GOmamab15. I hope you don't need your induction date and your cervix starts to cooperate. I hope you don't get too many pestering calls and texts today.
Today was the last day of school. It felt weird to leave since I have worked summer school for the past 13 years and am usually only off for a few days in between regular school and summer school. I'm in the pool and will probably fall asleep. DH went to a concert and I picked him up late, so I had interrupted sleep and then was up for awhile trying to fall back to sleep.

Mirena was great for me, had it for 5 years before TTC- I didn't ovulate on my own, so LOL, but I loved it. Going back on it in July (my OB wants to wait 6-8 weeks PP due to my csection) just in case my body decides to randomly throw me an ovulation bone.
