I tried the Windi last night after feeding when C was being fussy. Let's just say that thing is no joke. It def helped. And definitely heed the directions about having a diaper ready though lol.
I think W got the rest of his meconium out overnight. They did his 24 hour screen around 1 am and kept him for an extra hour so we could nap. Everything went well and we should be discharged after the circ today. I'm ready to get home.
I've been having more often contractions and definitely had some MP come out last night. Contractions aren't getting painful or timeable so it could be nothing. H is starting to feel better, so maybe this weekend would be nice for her to make her entrance (or exit). I just don't like feeling like a ticking time bomb. I can now see the appeal to a scheduled CS, but I absolutely have a weird fear of surgery, and will do anything to avoid it.
I always tell myself that if Bs sleep is crappy over a period of a few hrs he's due to give me a longer stretch soon thelittleredm. Hopefully W gives one to you!
Lol glad the windi worked for you @valgroupie!! You are a brave woman for trying it. 😂
Omg I forgot how gross meconium was tex. You could literally pave potholes with it. I think it too me half a pack of wipes to get Bs first off his butt.
Sounds like stuff is moving in the right direction pibblemom!
B and I are hanging out. He's been a decent sleeper at night so I may even get through the day without a nap. I feel like my supply is good and his output is good, but I'm still so self conscious about his jaundice. We don't have a pedi visit until next wed, but hopefully by then it'll have subsided.
I have to log on to work today to organize a few things for my replacement. Because I ended up going out 2 weeks earlier than expected, there are some loose ends I have to tie up that only I can do. Boo to that. Also on my agenda today is to bang out some thank you notes....both for DD from Xmas and random baby gifts people sent us.
Jelly pibblemom. No real contractions over here except those mild ones the other night. 2cm but still high. Doctor said he gave me a "really good" exam in hopes of getting things moving. Guess I should stop hoping she'll show up tomorrow for my grandpa's birthday. *cries*
The nurse said I looked good for 38 weeks. I can't decide if she was serious or just being nice. I'll go with nice. Thanks for the boost nice nurse!
Glad your appt went well lakegirl ! I'll sit on the "impatiently waiting" bench with you and pibblemom . So many contractions here, none of which are going anywhere. And if one more person at work tells me "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE STILL HEERRREEE" I'm going to slap someone. I've had 4 already today and it's 10 am. Someone also needs to buy my mother a crystal ball. She has been bugging me many times a day asking for udpates because she's trying to plan for when my dad should fly back, and "maybe he can get here 2 days before instead of the day of". Um, mom, how the hell am I supposed to know 2 days before I go into labor?
Bright sides: I set my phone down today on the carpeted floor and it somehow cracked my screen. I did some searching on replacing the screen for a Samsung s6 edge and it all seemed crazy expensive, but I remembered I had insurance! They are sending me a replacement S7, so I am getting an upgrade, AND I got 50% off my deductible, so it was only $100. Win.
rinny, lol at your mom wanting to plan ahead 😂😂 she sounds like my MIL, who means well but asks many times a day how I'm feeling, and if neither me or my H get back to her she panics and calls and makes sure we didn't forget to call her to tell her we went to the hospital.

Looking good lakegirl! ellabee - I've logged on a few times too, to wrap stuff up. Also went out 2 weeks earlier than expected. Also, IT put a cap on our email space. So I need to check in weekly to clean up spam.
rinny - LOL at your mom scheduling your dad's visit around your super predictable birth...

rinny, my parents were the same leading up to DS2's birth. My mother would ask me, on a daily basis, whether my ob thought it would be "soon". Maybe they've forgotten how babies and birth work?
Morning! C and I went to bed at 12:30 last night and I mistakenly thought I would get a few good hours of sleep.
She was up until 2:30. I would nurse her, she'd pass out, id try burping her, she wouldn't. I'd lay her down, roll over, she'd start crying again 5 min later. I'd burp her- she'd nurse- repeat until 2:30. Then she slept til 4. Then slept from 5:30 til I had to get up at 7....
pibblemom that sounds promising! Go for a long walk through target or something! Curb walk!
ellabee jaundice stressed me out with C too. At her one week she had dropped 6 oz and was really yellow so I had to feed her every 2 hours for a few days.
rinny your mom sounds like mine when they were planning their trip out here. They tried to plan for a week after my EDD, and I told them to push it to mid February. This was before I knew I was getting induced and I didn't want my mom here if I was a week overdue lol.
heybulldog56 I'm going to try when L goes for a nap. Every day we've had things going on but today we don't so nap while toddler naps is my plan. That's only 2 maybe 3 hours from now lol. Love tit for sympathy friend. Are you able to sneak in a nap??

On H's shift so to speak E slept from 11:30-4:30. I hope this becomes a new normal. I asked H if he slept any and he said no he kept thinking she would wake up any minute. He is not allowed to complain about being tired today.
Trying to figure out baptism stuff. It will probably be in May. I'm debating if we should make it a big thing invite a lot of people and have a party at a near by restaurant or keep it small and have everyone back to our house for a BBQ.

Hi guys! I have a baby sleeping on me and we're supposed to go home today, in the next 3 hours. I think we're going to miss that window.
I'm super sore today. My entire lower half hurts when I'm standing up. Had to ask for more of the good meds. Currently starving and hope my breakfast shows up soon.
