I feel you. I have a rash on my back from the epi tape.
It took me a week to get the tape off my thigh from the catheter and I had a reaction to that, too. What is it with the tape they use? Awful. I got a giant blister from the tape over my incision last time and had to have antibiotics because they thought it was infected.

Oh man, the blister sounds painful!!!!!
I don't know, the tape gave me a rash with ds too. I even got it wiped off sooner. The mesh undies were really bothering it.

Oh boy ellebelle, good luck! 5 weeks is way to long for even the perfect houseguest. Do you have space for them? Will they have their own room at least? I hope it turns out ok, but I will be sending you good vibes.
I'm drinking one of my raspberry leaf teas for the first time. Blech! I am not and never have been a tea fan and this one isn't winning me over either. I don't mean to offend tea lovers lol but I just don't get the hype.
Is needing 2 naps a day an early sign of labor? Lol
Sometimes! I slept alllll day the day before my last labor.
Two weeks ago I was all, "I'm done. Get him out!" but now I'm in denial. I'm acting like I have a month to go or more but it's like 2 weeks away from go time most likely, maybe less. Now I'm scared. We aren't ready. What have I done?!!
rungirlrun they are staying in the room that should be the nursery. Since we're rooming in for the first two months at least it's not a huge deal but it's just kind of obnoxious because there's really nowhere to put 5 weeks worth of crap in there with the baby furniture plus a full bed.

Yeah my parents are coming next week for 2 weeks (can't complain bc they are extremely helpful), but they are staying in the baby's room. So the room has a queen bed temporarily which means we can't set up any baby stuff which is frustrating me. And we put baby in baby's room in crib from day 1 so it's stressing me out. I want to set up the room, but my parents will probably have to do it while I'm in the hospital. Logistics were so much easier with kid #1!

This is me. But I am acting like I'm giving birth next year! You would think I'd have accepted my fate at 37+ weeks pregnant but nope. I am so not ready!

Add me to the tired all the time club. I got up 4 times to pee last night and that really doesn't help.
Not wanting to go to work tomorrow... You would think they would be slowing up and not giving me as much work at this point but because I am one of the only ones who works the new system I still handle a lot of cases and my boss keeps giving me high profile and escalated work...
Baby is inside, but coming out on Monday! Started losing my mucus plug Wednesday and was thinking maybe I would go into labor by monday....so far it's not happening!
GL, labor buddy!! Happy to share any c-section tips if you want.
Omg yes...send tips this way for sure! I'll send an update tomorrow via pm!
My in-laws fly in today and don't leave until August 14th (staying with us the whole time). They originally/I wanted them to come in later this week (Friday) and then last week they changed their tickets to come in today. Goodbye last week of peace. Someone save me.
I totally feel you...my parents have been here since last Wednesday and are staying until Aug 6. I thought it was a great idea months ago...now not too sure!
housecarder, are the girls formula fed? I'm curious how much they're eating, or how much they were eating a week or so ago. Max isn't gaining weight, he sleeps all day and just will not eat. Yesterday he ate 8.5 ounces, the doctor wants him to eat 16 a day. He's doing better today but it's still a huge struggle.
How old is your baby and how much is she eating? Also what bottles are you using?
Dd is only 4 days old. We just bumped her up to 60 mls today. I've been a little worried about her intake , like yours, she is sleeping a ton. I'll know tomorrow after the pedi if she's gaining weight.

I think she ate 6 or 7 times so far today.....50 to 69 mls each time.

So that is like 12-14 ounces, I started keeping track of how much he's eating last week after our appt and he's averaging about 12 ounces a day. I do think he's eating more everyday though. Ds1 used avent bottles which max seems to like, we do have some dr brown bottles he does well with too. He does not like the ready to feed bottles they give you in the hospital.
Did you guys start out with sensitive or switch to it for some reason?
