Update: still on the pitocin. Doctor doesn't think the baby will come today. I'm not in active labor yet and the doctor says it'll likely be about 12 hours from when active labor begins.

Who knew that being 38 weeks pregnant would be so boring without prodromal labor...starting to make me wish I was having sporadic contractions! I missed my MP anniversary and was in early labor by this point last time. I'm creeping on my TP like I'm back in the first trimester. Nope, just urine 😐 I need a hobby..

oldbaylover1024, congratulations! And I'm sorry LO is in the NICU. Did you have skin to skin time with him at all? Btw, I love his name!
DS1 dumped a glass of water on our couch, I did my best to soak it up, but it's a couch. H knew about it, but sat down anyway. He stands up and goes "my pants are wet?" Me: "OMG? Did your water break?" I thought it was funnier than he did.
oldbaylover1024- love tit for new baby! Hugs on the NICU...hopefully he graduates out of there earlier than 48hrs. Is DH able to go see him in the NICU? Not sure if sending him in with a mission to take some pics make Help ease your mind...
Pedi visit wasn't amazing. Neither twins weight is even on the growth charts....so now get to supplement with formula after every feeding now and have a weight check on Monday. I am feeling so discouraged BF these two...

Sorry for the weight gain troubles, @jacks605 . BFing two sounds very challenging. FX they get back on those growth charts soon. You're doing an amazing job.

((Hugs)) mama. I had to supplement with DS. It ended up being a really good thing for us and actually meant we BF for longer. I know how easy it is to feel discouraged, but please know you're doing a great job. Supplementing doesn't make you a failure. It means you're doing what you need to do to have healthy babies.

Hang in there and try to get some rest while you can! You're going to meet your baby soon!!!

I'm sorry for the discouraging news. As others have said, be kind to yourself. I can't imagine how hard BFing two must be. You're doing what you need to do to have healthy, growing babies. And you are still making food for them from your body. That's no small thing!

We went to the park this afternoon. DS1 was getting crazy at the house. Anyway, 1. We attract all the chatty kids at the park. Like flies to honey. So we spent most of the time talking to several 3-5 year olds. One of the straight up took off her pants and her parent/grandparent said nothing. Not a huge deal, but not something I want DS1 to emulate. Also not the most sanitary thing for sliding. 2. Another mom approached me about DS2 and asked how old he was and I told her he was just over a week to which she replied, "Jesus, you must have really needed to get out of the house." The judgement in her voice was palpable. I somehow managed to remain civil. But seriously, it's not like we were at chuckie cheese or I was passing him around to the little kids.
@jacks605 sorry you're discouraged. Hugs your way!
We are home with Ro. She has been very sleepy today. Nursing a bunch, but yesterday she cluster fed in the evening...so not sure if I have that to look forward to shortly. My nipples feel slightly better than yesterday- but they are pretty raw. Thankfully there's some improvement and my milk feels like it is about to come in. (Not bad for 48 hours post partum).
I don't see how she will continue to be this sleepy tonight. So predicting a long night. K has been so cute with her, and very happy. So far so good.
She referred on her right ear for the hearing screening- so we have to get her retested Sunday after we see the pedi.
I keep checking in to see on everyone in labor, and still awaiting babies. Sending good luck to all.

@jacks605 you are doing amazing! Don't feel bad. DD1 had trouble bfing at first and we had to supplement, too, but doing that meant we also breastfed longer. Like pps have said, whatever ends up happening, you are doing the best you can for your babies

oldbaylover1024, so exciting that he is here!! And pretty funny about your water breaking right before lol. I'm sorry about the NICU stay; I know that is so hard. Thinking of you, and hoping it is an uneventful stay!
I'm starting to get "when is that baby going to be here?" messages. I got 3 today. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I don't fucking know, and I haven't even hit my due date so please PLEASE leave me alone and don't ask stupid questions that cannot be answered at the moment.
Pregnancy rage is real with this one, so I'm all ready to block people on social media and on my phone, but I am trying to stay rational here. Lol.

Dh is a all-star in my book right now for asking his catering friend to make us some frozen meals for when the baby comes. We keep fairly separate finances so it seems like a gift to me to get a bunch of yummy meals that I don't have to pay for or prep! He had me look up some casserole ideas and I came up with chipotle style burritos, bread pudding, baked ziti, chicken noodle soup casserole, and sloppy joe tater tot. Yeah they are craving inspired picks lol. But ze chef picked apple cinnamon bread pudding-I can't wait for that to be my breakfast!! Now we just gotta eat everything in our freezer this weekend lol.

Yeah weekends are pretty special because I don't have any coworker comments about my size or how I'm "feeling" when they just mean any contractions or fluids coming?? Lol. Luckily strangers leave me alone and we rarely see family lately.

I'm still getting over the fact that my Mom texted me the other day asking if I was dilating since there was a storm coming. Ummmm.... I don't know....?
The only IRL person who has asked if babies are here yet is MH's disfunctional ex-wife. None of your business, woman who helped screw up your younger son and left us to fix everything. 😒
