Haha I'm losing track of days too. We've got C's first pedi appointment this morning. Looking forward to seeing what her weight is, hoping she's gaining good. And then we get to go to my ob's office to have c/s staples removed today, woo!
vlagroupie that's exciting! Keep us posted! How are you feeling from the c/s?
Surprisingly decent, thanks for asking! This is a rcs for me, I feel like the recovery is easier for this one. As long as I keep on top of meds I feel good. I probably need to take it easy on the stairs though, this is when I wish we lived in a ranch instead of 2 story.

I'm so glad. I actually just saw your birth story and saw you posted about it there too. Definitely take it easy with the stairs this early!
My app't at L & D (after 36 weeks you see midwives and the OBs at the L & D instead of your ob/gyn) was eventulful. Baby hasn't grown enough, he hasn't gained any weight since my check at 35 weeks. My c-section was scheduled for the 12th but was moved til tomorrow. H's parents will stay until Sunday, my mom comeS Monday and I will leave the hospital monday. I have so many emotions right now! Especially about DD not being my one and only.

biscotto oh my goodness, how stressful! I hope baby is okay and you can spend some quality time with DD today even if it's only an hour. Sending good thoughts for all of you
Hope you survive your first day back tex. I'm worried that I won't...
I'm waiting for my u/s. I really really want a VBAC but how awful is it that I wouldn't be upset if they told me that I had to have a c-section today? I just feel awful. The idea of going to work after this makes me want to cry.
I woke up today, and only had to brew half a pot of coffee because the in-laws are GONE. HOORAY!!
I'm so checked out of work it's not even funny. Yet here I am.
Thankfully, I have two mind-numbingly boring but easy tasks to focus on today and tomorrow. Then I'll work fro home on Thursday. I might spitefully assemble to gosh-foresaken crib myself.
Good luck biscotto!! Can totally understand those feels, I bet it's even stronger knowing it's the last day.
I'm back at work today. Still coughing, but feeling a lot better. Anyone have any tips on what to do for tension headaches when you can't take ibuprofen?
My anxiety has ramped up these past few days. I've lost almost 10 lb since christmas, and I feel so much smaller than with DS. I know it's because I've been sick, but blah to needless worry. While babe has been moving, it feels like a lot less too, but I think it might just be in my head.
biscotto, thinking of you. Can't wait to hear from you tomorrow with the stats on your LO. Good luck with everything!
I am only in the office for about another hour and then I officially start my ML. I need this. To quote the great Leslie Knopes (and lakegirl,) "everything hurts and I'm dying"

So then u/s tech casually asks how big my first kid was. I answer 8.3 or 8.6 lbs/oz, can't remember exact. She then tells me this one is 10 lbs. Super nonchalant. I know measurements are not accurate but jeez, way to drop a bomb. Let's see what doctor says... maybe I will be getting that c-section after all...
lakegirl, here's hoping it's a minor leak and can be fixed easily. Do you have someone close to you that is a handy mechanic and maybe wouldn't charge as much as shop or dealer?
So, while I have a decent amount of opinions on not taking the ambien the MW prescribed, I decided to give it a shot for 2 days to follow up with them weds. I slept the best I have in months! I was still up to pee 4-5x, but not every hour and got 9 full hours of sleep! I feel like I can conquer the world today... But I'm still in bed getting puppy snuggles. I have a list of things to do today, so here's hoping I attack it
I feel marginally better than yesterday, so that's good. It was like my round ligaments and abdominal muscles were just like "uncle, uncle, I give up".
I'm at work today and Thursday, working from home tomorrow and Friday. I may go into the office once or twice next week but then I'm calling it quits. I do not want to be making the 45+ minute commute anymore.
Also, I wish I could answer honestly when co-workers ask "how're you feeling?". In the name of polite chitchat, I'm being the gracious pregnant lady and saying - "oh, pretty good" when really I want to say "i feel like my body is dying".
Doctor at hospital says it's c-section time... I have an appointment with my ob tomorrow morning to discuss today's u/s. We'll go from there I guess.
Sending you positive vibes for whatever the outcome. I know you've been aiming for a VBAC, so I hope if they push the c-section it's based on good evidence. As you say, those scan estimates can often be way off. At any rate - lots of ((hugs)) for having to deal with the curve ball.

The doctor at hospital was very c-section minded so I just nodded. I will definitely be asking my ob tomorrow about induction first and see what she says. That would be ideal.
I'm so ready for my house back. Dd is suffering from way too much attention. Next week is going to be a nightmare with the grandparent detox. We tried to tell them to give her some independent play today but it's like MIL has no idea how. She can't help but talk to her and play and ask questions. Today is sorting through clothes given to us and doing laundry, all while my mil holds my baby I guess.
So apparently my NST today is also going to be my normal OB appt. I will be seeing an MD for the first time this pregnancy. I let my supervisor know an abbreviated version of what happened at L&D. And I'm still hurting from the cervical check Thursday.
