Holla! Tomorrow is my last day of work. We are effectively locked out of all systems today and tomorrow due to a big release happening over the weekend, soooooooo online shopping for me?
Due date is tomorrow. Starting to wonder who's going to be the last holdout around here! If I was at a 4 last week, I wonder what I'll be at tomorrow with all the contractions I've had. What do they do if you're chilling at like a 5 and not in labor? I guess I'll find out, ha. Maybe I'll ask for a sweep.

@orangcrush, my H went back to work today too. Have a good day!
So a pipe started leaking through our ceiling and into the dining room last night. The whole ceiling went from normal to covered with very obvious wet spots. The pipe is from the master bath and h was able to shut the water off up there. This is definitely unexpected and poor h returned to work extra exhausted and stressed. I guess we won't be replacing the carpets as we had planned. On the plus side, we had been talking about adding recessed lighting to the dining room so there's that!

6am here. Feeding a baby. Hoping she'll go back to sleep after this one.
DH wants me to think about how many times I can handle dinner and bedtime solo next week (He usually makes dinner and leaves for work). My lifting restrictions are over on Tuesday, he wants to do Wed-Fri. I'm thinking of asking him to skip Thursday just to ease me into it.
Baby N wants to nurse right when it's time to put DS to bed. That and how to feed him dinner are the tricky parts
rinny Spoiler: it's going to be me. No progress over here. Still at a two. Ultrasound and NST schedule for three days after my due date. If I make it till that Thursday we will talk induction etc.
lakegirl, lol you just never know! I was joking weeks ago when my mom decided to come home early that I'd probably have a February baby just because of that and she hates winter so much. I am keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow since it would be kind of crazy to have 2 due date babies (like 1 in 400 odds to have 2?), but I doubt that's going to happen. Hoping baby surprises you!
heybulldog56 oh man, unexpected house stuff sucks.

It's my due date! I have a 13 day old squish!
I put a potroast and veggies in the crock pot this morning... Can't wait til I can start to smell it!
I just had a nice breakfast of a banana smeared with peanut butter and Nutella. Drinking still-warm coffee while the little chick pea sleeps. H took the toddler to day care, and had to swing by the store.
We have a lunch date today. Other than that, I need to take it easy. My physical recovery feels... Slower than last time? It's totally from lifting the toddler, having steps in the house this time (lived in an apt with DD1), and over doing it with chores.
I am folding laundry while sitting, and will likely take a few naps in between feeding.
rinny - the universe is telling you to shop! lakegirl - you're almost there!! Where's pibblemom???

I'm here, sitting against a heating pad. Wondering if I'm progressing or just being annoyed for nothing. I'm pretty sure I won't be a very good internet friend and be able to follow today though, just trying to focus on hopefully progression over here.
I texted one of the midwives, ultrasound came back good, so no real reason for the bleeding except "it can happen". It hasn't reached scary level, just light period level. I'm probably going to go for a nice long walk with the dogs to try to get things going better.

Am i weird that when I went to the grocery store this weekend, or took the toddler to daycare yesterday, all I thought about in terms of time away from baby was my boobs and logistics. It didn't really dawn on me about "leaving the baby..."

I am tired. We had e sleep in her room last night. She wouldn't sleep in the crib so we used the mamaroo. It went ok I'm sure h & I will tweak somethings and how we handle them tonight. H & I can be light sleepers so I want us to be able to get as much rest as possible. E is so fussy this morning. I'll probably need to run some errands tomorrow though we are low on a few things around the house.

This is exactly how I was with ds1 and I'm sure I'll be that way with DD too. Like, I would leave for a short time and then call to see if he was hungry or think about how hard my boobs were, but I wasn't thinking "Aww, I miss my sweet baby!" BF problems, ha!

W was so gassy and uncomfortable after about 4am last night that I think the longest stretch of sleep I got was 30 minutes before he'd start groaning and squeaking loudly again. I guess the positive was that his first wake up was at 3 which meant I got 4 solid hours at least.

B gained 5 oz in three days! Doctor and LC agree that I do have a low supply problem and that formula clearly helped in his weight gain. I am totally fine with this. I've decided to keep following LCs plan for the next two weeks (2 fenugreek capsules 3x a day, evening primrose 2 x a day, and mother's milk tea 1 x a day). If my pumping output remains as it is (1 ounce every session two hours after breastfeeding), then I'm stopping and going exclusively to forumuls. I'm honestly ok with this. I've been asking all the right questions, seeing all the right people, and doing everything in my power to make it work. I've accepted that it just may not work for me and that's ok 🙂
I am miserable, I posted in that pupps thread but I might have that or an allergy to medication maybe. I have this horrible, itchy rash all over my stomach. I'm waiting on a call back from my OB. My mom said she gets rashes from medication which I never even knew was a thing.
