I slept all the way through labor. Have you had any contractions yet?

I have according to the thingy but I've been sleeping the past three hours. I'm up now because our little guy is being difficult and they can't get his heartbeat on the monitor. He's fine, just being stubborn.

Mine did the same they kept making me flip. Glad y'all ate doing well. I hope you've had him by now. I can't wait to see his little face!

DD is outgrowing her newborn clothes and diapers. It seems like it is going so fast and yet I never expected her to wear NB clothes for more than a week. Bring 3wks early changed that!

I had a terrifying dream last night about my teeth falling out. Apparently it means "a particularly difficult transition." Um, yep.

One of my friends had this dream over and over during her entire first pregnancy. Sounds like a totally freaky dream.
I dislike all recurring dreams. Gives me the heebie jeebies, no matter what the dream is.

I had this dream my whole pregnancy as well! I would be carrying on with my day and all of a sudden I was pulling my teeth out. I hope the nicu stay was what it was talking about because after that I think it should be sunshine and rainbows for awhile

I'm so not ready for this. Glad you girl is doing well! :-)

Which thread had the birth photography discussion?

My two SILs and my sister got us a year of photo sessions for our baby shower gift (newborn, 3 mo, 6 mo, 9 mo, 12 mo) and the photographer is friendly with my SILs and to some extent DH... And she offered free birth photography ("before/during/after" depending on our comfort and her availability).

I don't want to reject offhand since it's such a generous offer, but, um, birth photography. Anyone have good things to say about it?

I posted this in spam but I'll post here too.

Holy hard let down batman. No wonder kiddo has problems eating from one side. I've been pumping for maybe 5 minutes and one side has about an ounce and a half. The other side has almost 5. I'm drowning my poor baby.

Seriously! Who fricking cares. Why has this become a thing??

Lol. Sorry.

I thought it was so interesting. My DF and I both saw the dress completely different from each other so it was interesting to me, at first. It is a bit of an overkill now.

I have the same issues. I've been struggling with a horrible oversupply. Nursing was choking my LO so I've been trying to wean off the pump.

[aggiebug]

Another one with an over active let down. I think that is one reason the shield has really helped me. It wasn't choking her any more.

[xoxolicia]

One bad latch will ruin your whole day. :-\

[misshart00]

Can I make a confession?

I think part of the reason that I'm having so much trouble with this kiddo is because he wasn't planned. DD was such an easy baby and spoiled me. Sometimes when he's keeping me up late at night, I wonder what would have happened if we hadn't gotten pregnant and then sometimes I get mad at H for getting me pregnant. My emotions are crazy.



ETA: I love both of my kids very much and I am not thinking about harming them or myself. I feel like that could be misconstrued by what I said above.

[lilyelayne]

misshart00 I've got to post & run, sorry, but I wanted to send you hugs. It's okay to feel how you feel (since it's not to the self harm / harm others extreme). I think the second kid is probably harder than the first, and unplanned can make a big difference in your mindset. I'll check on you later - sorry for the short response.

Mine was preemie size when he first came into the world. Now he's outgrowning NB too. I feel so sad that I missed so much of his growth in the past few weeks cos I'm on night shift and spend all my life at the pump.

I'm really sorry you're feeling like this. You'll feel better when your hormones balance out. *hugs*

Non-reg drive-by. Because I can.

I wanted a ridiculous streaking photo that didn't show off the streaker's cash and prizes.

Four pages?? We have to do better! Anyone have anything they want to brag about this evening?

I had sex. I'm not so good with following rules. But it was fabulous.

[lilyelayne]

DH and I are watching Dallas Buyers Club. It's intense.

[lilyelayne]

That's not a brag, just a random statement to up post count for the thread.

I love this movie.

[lilyelayne]

Now we're watching Doctor Who reruns. I miss cuddling with DH but I can't sit comfortably on the couch anymore (baby sitting too low? Maybe. Contractions? Maybe.) so I'm across the room on the yoga ball.

[xoxolicia]

This kid can eat. Geez. I can't even begin to build a supply.

I'm so not interested in sex since the baby is born, am I the only one? Then again, I'm still bleeding out of my crotch. It's like I'm having all the periods I missed over the last 9 months.

I'm living the milk equivalent of the paycheck-to-paycheck life. Everyday I run out of pumped milk and have to use formula, that's like a cash advance.

I totally understand not wanting it. I do not think you're the only one. I'm the weird one that has trouble even going a few days. But I am done bleeding so that helps.

[PikoPiko]

Still got 120 posts to go. Ugh, I missed out on sleep again, LO has been extremely fussy after his 3 hours nap.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with both BF & FF, but your wording on this is awesome.
