cloe111479 happy due date! Sorry you're going to work & I hope your coworkers aren't too obnoxious about you still being pregnant.
dacora happy induction day! Hope all goes smoothly this afternoon/evening!
So over being at work. I'm making myself dedicate this whole day to wrapping up my least favorite project & handing it off to someone else.
My two best friends & I started a tradition where we get pictures taken every other year (the past 3 times we've hired the woman who did my wedding photos) and this year we took them in early January to double as my maternity session. We should get access to the online gallery today so I'm obsessively checking email looking for the link. Come on, photos!!
I know she had a home birth, and I didn't want to make a big deal about it just in case I'm totally uneducated about something. I Showed it to H and he was freaked out.
Ahhhhhhhh...that slightly helps explain it.
I've seen similar home birth photos where they put baby in a pretty scarf or wrap & weigh him with a tension hanging scale. Maybe similar photo without scale attached..? I think it's the bag/scarf color that threw me at first glance.
Can someone explain to me where there is a picture of a baby in a bag on the birth announcement post?
YES, I wondering about that too! I know there are people from all over on here, so I thought maybe it's a Canada thing? It seems like something Canadians would do
I think she's from NYC (or another major east coast city). I'm open minded, but I wasn't ready for that pic. Maybe that's how they weighed her?

That makes sense. At first it looked like an orange trash bag so I freaked out for about 10 seconds before I realized it was more along the lines of a scarf/wrap (I think).
I think I'm going to happy cry. H starts back at work tomorrow with 80+ hour weeks. He went around and asked several of out friends and family if they would pick a day to come help get DD fed for dinner and down to bed. I'm super stressed about everything and having two littles basically by myself. That was the sweetest thing he could so for me.
Re: baby in a bag- I'm guessing that's how they weighed her. At least, I hope that's what was going on. Or maybe it's supposed to simulate the womb? Idk someone tag her and ask.
Re: sex- my FI somehow and I have been managing once maybe twice a week lately. Still no baby.
My question of the day is why do docs think you peed yourself when your water breaks? We don't just all of a sudden lose continence for like one time out of the million times a pg women pees. It makes me irrationally angry.
And yeah that baby pic threw me off too. It's def the color of the scarf that caused initial concern from me.
Happy Monday! One week of maternity leave gone for me already
I'm going to blame my husband for the fact I'm still pregnant. He needs to get over himself and have sex with me.
My husband was freaked out at first, but now I think he has realized that he won't have sex for a long period of time PP so he is all about it now. He is telling me that we should do it every night to try and get the baby to come. I'm all up for some sex, but every night is a little much. I'm tired!
Can someone explain to me where there is a picture of a baby in a bag on the birth announcement post?
Yes, that's how they weigh the baby. I gave birth in a birth center and have a similar pic of DD. It's a long piece of fabric that the baby is wrapped in and then it attaches to a scale that the MW holds up.
Have you all noticed the quick tags? Just above the reply box (or at least on the desktop version of PB). You can tag all the folks who have posted on the page.

I think it's how a lot of home birth babies are weighed. Put them in the bag and use the handheld scale thing, like weighing fish? I've seen them in the mesh thing before, but never all the way covered in it like that one. Anyway, just my guess.
I screwed up my knitting a bit and have to take out almost thirty rows. Stupid me for not reading the charts and instructions fully. I am choosing to focus on this today.
kaydee0402 I'm here! I'm glad sleezeball got the ban hammer. I feel like if I met her in real life, I wouldn't like her.
Good luck dacora! Can't wait to see your birth announcement!
I'm glad I wasn't the only one freaked out by the baby in a bag. I just assumed it was something I didn't know about and let it go. I did have a weird dream after see the pic, though. I dreamt I was delivering the baby and the doctor handed her to me in a bag like that. Weird..
@seamoster One billion gold stars for the pic! If I could love tit you 40 times, I would. You are my favorite for the day. Lol
Background story: My FI has two sons from a previous marriage and I have twin girls from a previous relationship.
Well BD and I have split custody and have had an alternating schedule that's worked pretty well for the last year or so. He texted me today asking what I was going to do with DD's when LO is born and if he was going to get DD's more. I said no that things would remain the same as they have been. Well he starts asking a bunch of roundabout questions trying to figure out who is going to have the girls when I'm in the hospital. Thursday DD's will be with my mom since it's still my day until Friday when it's his day then I should be discharged in time to have DD's on my day again. So they will only be with my mom and dad Thursday and until he decides to pick them up on Friday (usually ranges between 4-6).
Well he immediately says that if he wants more time with them that he can and regardless of whether or not I'm going to have help after the baby is born that he's DD's father and if he wants to see them more he can. Nothing I say is making sense to him. I keep saying that our days remain the same and I'm going to have my girls on my days and that nothing changes. He keeps telling me that once the baby is born and I'm taking care of 5 kids I'm going to change my mind. I told him that I'm not going this alone, I will have help when DD's are here and when they are not here. My FI will be here and my mother lives down the street.
I could understand more if he thought that I won't have DD's here with me whatsoever during my days but they will be. And as for the one day I will be in the hospital and DD's will be with my parents and that's still on my day. My parents want time with their grandkids and DD's are going to spend the night and have a blast. I'm not robbing him of time but he's trying to rob me of my time because when he had a baby with his GF he didn't see DD's for nearly two weeks and sporadically got them on his own accord.
Our shower was Saturday, and if I could get pictures to cooperate I would be a total AW, but that hasn't happened yet. The best part was that my daddy made us a cradle; a gorgeous, handmade, cedar cradle. I sort of knew it was coming (he made one for my brother's kids, he darn sure better make me one!) but the fact that he made it just for us is so special.
Don't you love that handmade stuff? We have my husband's cradle that his grandfather made for him. We also have a little rocking chair that matches. I love them so much. That is why it took me forever to find a crib set that sort of hand that hand-crafted wood look. I love it.
