HDBD lets see those last few bumps!!!

[Lucy]

I always feel like a coffee GC is a safer bet. Even if people don't like coffee, they can get something else non-coffee they would like. Wine can be hit or miss since some people are weird about what they like.

Sorry about your dads shingles That can be rough. I hope he continues to be in little pain from it.

Happy HDBD ladies!

This is what happens when you try to put your 6 week old in a basket to try to take some pictures:

[Winnifred]

crimpgirl, sorry about the shingles! Is it affecting an exposed area? Or is it just a no no generally to be around pregnant people or babies if you have it anywhere? I had it a few years ago on my hip, it's the worst!!!

mrsp121308, LOL I love it!

[Winnifred]

I'm happy that I actually have a few things on my work calendar today. I'm running out of stuff to do so having no meetings really makes the day drag on and on. Tomorrow is my OB appt first thing in the morning and they're also trying to schedule another BPP. Baby scored an 8/8 on Monday but I'm thinking dr is just trying to be cautious since they can't get me bumped up on the induction schedule.

Seriously hoping I have a baby to post a picture of next week!

crimpgirl, OMG Shingles are the worst. I had them at 18 while in first semester of College and the Dr. was not a happy camper. He looked at my Mom and said that he had never seen someone this young with shingles that my stress levels must be off the charts. That she needs to be more mindful if I ma being pushed. I was flabbergasted and my mom felt like the worst parent ever. THEY hurt so bad. I hope he recovers soon! On your mat leave here I sit at work...I hope that something happens in the next two weeks. Coming back after Christmas is going to SUCK! OH OH, so coffee is okay. I am not a coffee drinker so the GC for coffee would not go over well with me. Have you thought of finding a pre packaged coffee/tea gift to give? That would be nice. OR the wine.


mrsp121308, epic Christmas picture..."MOM what the hell am I laying in" LMAO!! Poor baby.

So the hours of 4-6pm are pure chaos around here with kids getting home from school, homework, after school activities and trying to get dinner made. Cora decided it would be the perfect time to spit up all over everything -- when I didn't have time to stop and redress her. So I stripped her down and put her in the wrap in just her diaper until I could take 2 minutes to put clothes on the squirmy spider monkey baby. She seemed very satisfied with herself.

my super awesome work bathroom picture. This was yesterday so 38w4days.

Baby was up all night moving and kicking. I really do think she's dropped a little and has more room to do legit kicks again, they hurt!

[Winnifred]

@kc295905, yay so exciting! Good luck to you!!!

[kaydee0402]

Good luck @kc295905!

[kaydee0402]

Last day of work! Yaaaaay! I'm so done. So so done.

[kaydee0402]

Also, today is my last day of only having DS. So many emotions.

[Winnifred]

This is from yesterday, so 40w2d. OMG I hope so badly that next Wednesday I actually have a picture of a baby to share. I'm thinking it's more likely I'll be in full on induction hell at that point. All of you ladies getting your babies out are making me totally jealous!! I want to meet my little squish



And here's a bonus pic of baby girl with her hands in front of her face... Hopefully we get a better view later this week.

[Winnifred]

kaydee0402, is there a c-section on the schedule tonight?

[kaydee0402]

Winnifred, tomorrow! I go in at 5 am.

[catherineoctober]

He'll of a morning. Baby Jane was not happy, peed all over the couch and her and I when I was changing her. Then I stripped her and that pissed her off, so I wrapped her in a swaddle blanket, feed her, then laid her down. Then I decided to pump for the first time. Got 5 oz and put it in the baggy to go in the freezer and it spilled all over the freezer. Ugh!!!

[catherineoctober]

[harfamilyof3]

Nora is a month old today!! Time is flying and I am begging it to slow down!! I'll share a picture of Nora + one of her awesome big sister!

[requiressnacks]

Good luck today @kc295905!!!! I can't wait to hear what team green ends up being.

OH noooo!

[requiressnacks]

Sorry about your dad crimpgirl.

And I'd go the gift card route. Although I ❤️ All the wine, not everyone is like me.

[requiressnacks]

We got matching stockings, so I couldn't resist taking this pic.

[requiressnacks]

mrsp121308.....hazel is pissed!!!!! Haha

[requiressnacks]

I'm going out to dinner tonight with just my husband! I Can't wait!!!!

Of course I love the babies....but I need a break.

[Winnifred]

crimpgirl, like another poster said before me, it was stress! I was making such little $$ and starting to realize how much I'd have to pay in student loans every month, and I'm a natural worrier (you already know that, ha ha). Hence, painful stinging blisters right on my underwear line. Seems like if he's extra careful to cover it up and wash his hands/arms, you should be fine to be around him! BUT I'm obviously not a doctor so take their advice over mine

[Winnifred]

Ladies can someone tell me if this is a thing related to labor or not?

You know when your stomach is just pissed off and probably going to be gassy - it's like tight and uncomfortable... except I know my stomach is not in it's normal place so it's probably more likely to be my uterus causing the discomfort. It's definitely not like clear contractions... but is my ute perhaps working on getting there?! I felt these for a little bit yesterday morning and they went away. It's been several hours and I'm hoping so much that this is like pre-pre-early labor or something, LOL.

I'm probably really grasping at straws here...

[lbonga1]

Good morning! I'm lounging around the house while my girls eat some cereal. I'm snacking on some zucchini carrot bread that I made yesterday. Then we're all going to go to the donut shop. It's the only one around here that has gluten-free donuts, and my FI is obsessed. I'm not a big donut person though, so I usually stop at the acai bowl place down the street, yum! Can you tell I'm hungry? After that, I'm not sure what we're doing today. I think I want to steam clean our living room carpet at some point though.

[lastnamewithheld]

ZERO progress at the appointment today. I'm going to be pregnant forever.



From Saturday at 39 weeks!

[Winnifred]

lastnamewithheld, once again, we need to live near each other so we can sit around and stuff our faces/watch trashy tv/and just generally console each other!

I'm sorry you're not making progress! I'm really hoping for some progress tomorrow morning but at the same time I'm pretty sure it will just be another 20% effacement and my dr cringing over inducing me with such an unripe cervix. ((hugs)) lady.

if you ever feel like you need to call your midwife/OB, do you just call their office?

Yep. 

[lastnamewithheld]

haha, Winnifred tell me about it!! I wanted to tag you, but I didn't know how you were feeling about your "forever pregnant" status today. I'm still 50% effaced and fingertip dilated, but GDI with the cramps and shit I've had the last couple of days I was hoping for more! The worst part is they will only start induction (assuming that the NST's and such that are scheduled for next week are ok) AFTER 41 weeks. Since 41 weeks is xmas eve, they're not doing ANYTHING until the monday after xmas... at 41 goddamned weeks and 2 days pregnant.

I'm just chalking it up to my dumb old body not knowing what to do... AGAIN... STILL... lol.

I hope you are pleasantly surprised at your appointment tomorrow!! Come on, one of us has to have SOME progress!!!
