Tuesday Spam and Eggs

[wanderinga]

I haven't been over here much but I have been reading birth announcements and love-titting for all these adorable baby vipers!  We have one of our first snowy days here today (sorry New Englanders) and I am still pregnant.  That means that as soon as our road/hill ices over I'll go into labor and we won't be able to get to the birth center, right?

[michelle142]

It's my due date today. I'm just done. I lost that thing that shall not be named or pictured between yesterday and this morning, and I've had some spotting. Hoping things are getting moving.

My favorite of the 3 MW's is on call until Thursday, so I'm hoping I have DD between now and then!

We live in NC and are experiencing the joys of unpreparedness on our roadways. Which of course was why I lost my mp all day at work yesterday and had super sporadic contractions that didn't hurt but were enough to wake me up throughout the night. I'll take my time heading into work this morning. A very short, very quiet day in the office sounds perfect! Plus my single digit EDD countdown is on, woot 9 days!

[FlutterOfYoshis]

Good morning ladies and good luck to others delivering or caringfor LOs today! This hospital bed is NOT comfy and it's harder than I thought it'd be to move around while strapped to monitors. Waiting 1 more hour before the Cervidil comes out and they can set me up with Pitocin. Schools and administrative offices are closed with the snow storm so I'm thankful I'm here but I wish I knew the process would be over quickly to meeting our LO! DH has been a champ, massaging away my aches and sleeping in a recliner. Am I done yet?

[hernsy]

Due date: today. I've been having real, but inconsistent teasing contractions since yesterday afternoon. It has made for a very long night while DH snored away next to me. Now I'm going to attempt to do some work. I am not in a good mood right now.

[babycfeb2015]

I just got 7 hours of (very broken) sleep! Yayy baby!

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

Today is my due date too. Yesterday I had some light contractions for a little while then nothing. Today I woke up morning sick. It's snowing here too...roads are bad. Ugh!

[cloe111479]

Morning ladies!

Everywhere else it is just Tuesday but Happy Mardi Gras!

Quinn and I will be watching from the couch but next year it will be the best first birthday celebration ever!

(It falls on 2/9 next year)

[hernsy]

Did I mention that I had three texts asking how I'm doing, how I'm feeling and if there is any news all before 7am? For real.

[misshart00]

Kiddo only woke up once last night. Happy momma over here. But now I desperately have to pump.

I shut my phone off and stopped checking my email this morning.

Just start sending people this link: www.haveyouhadthatbabyyet.com/

wanderinga, that was my thought process yesterday since I am in NC and we don't have the equipment to clear the roads. Here in Raleigh we try to plow but mostly we have to wait for the sun to do it's job.

kcwnc,my husband is outside now trying to clear the ice from the steps, sidewalk and driveway because he is convinced that today is the day, and he doesn't want to worry about me falling. I lost the thing that shall not be named over a week ago, so who know when the main event is going to happen. I'm 6 days from my due date, so it could be any time.

FlutterOfYoshis, sorry that the hospital bed is not comfy. Hopefully things will progress quickly for you and you will have some baby snuggles sooner rather than later.

hernsy, I feel your pain with the texts. We are teachers and are used to being up by 5 am. Our teacher friends have been texting since at least 7 am because they are all stuck at home and bored. I just turned my phone to do not disturb and ignored them.

[danitaec]

Good morning!

We're on "winter break" right now, but were supposed to report for in-service today. The threat of black ice cancelled that, so it's one more day of not showering until right before my husband gets home!

38 week appointment was yesterday. Doc said baby's firmly entrenched in there, so that makes me feel better. AND he's letting me start maternity leave this Friday, because of my BP issues. Aaaaaand I still don't have a sub. Whatevs.

Happy Tuesday, y'all!

[lilyelayne]

FlutterOfYoshis hope the pitocin treats you well & you have your LO smoothly & soon!

Good luck to all you mamas with due dates today! Hope your LOs get moving!

cloe111479 if my LO has to be late, I hope he's two days late (2/28) so his 2nd birthday can be on Mardi Gras day.


Happy Mardi Gras, y'all! My OB had a death in the family so my appointment's been pushed back to Thursday. The temps this morning are in the high 20s but the sun is out and I haven't heard anything about ice on the roads, which is good 'cause Louisiana can't handle that. Sending sunny thoughts to all y'all with or expecting snow & ice.

Good luck FlutterOfYoshis! Hang in there, you are so close right now.

I'm up breast feeding. Tonight has gone much better than last,; I'm feeling better because of it. Current concern: LO doesn't like one of my breasts. The nipple is shaped differently than the other and I think she finds it hard or unpleasant to latch on to. Now that my milk has come in and my breasts are even fuller, she's even less into that breast, mostly refusing it. Arg!

[michelle142]

Good luck today FlutterOfYoshis!

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

I stayed home from work due to snow (driving risks) and now I am boredddd. Hgtv makes me want to spend $$$. Wow would that bathroom look good here....

[pitdigger]

I'll be headed back for a c section in the next half hour or so.

Good luck momma! I'm getting my staples removed today. Hope it's a quick and easy procedure for you

[hernsy]

Good luck FlutterOfYoshis & pitdigger!

Good morning! Well it's 815 here. Getting ready to head to the lovely DMV because I forgot my license expires tomorrow... Oops

You could try expressing some milk by hand just to relieve some of the fullness and this might make it easier for LO to latch.

We have no water on the top floor of our house but the cleaning lady is here so that's awesome!

[AppropriateChocolate]

Morning people. It's a serious snow day here. Ugh. To all so tired of people calling asking how I'm feeling have I popped yet and tell the baby to sTay in until the roads clear. Smh. Have a good day ladies.

[nomnomasaur0426]

Good luck laboring mommas!!

Last night was pretty awful. LO wouldn't stop fussing or crying for three hours straight. Then this morning he wanted to nurse every 45min. And nursing has started getting extremely painful. Just hope he goes down for a nap soon so I can maybe shower.

But good news, I can put normal shoes on again and my carpal tunnel appears to be easing up! So nice to have my ankles and the use of my hands back.

[MrsPavlov]

This is my fourth day home from work (PTO and icy roads) so I'm glad I have more time to lurk around on here.

39 weeks officially yesterday and these super-intense BH are beating me up. No real contractions or other signs that anything will be happening soon and it's driving me nuts, mainly because as soon as the roads are better I have to go back to work where everyone is absolutely awful and I hate them. I'm also a terrible pessimist and am convinced this little boy will require an induction, which means I have to stay at work even longer. Wah.

Good luck to all you mamas in the home stretch!!

[miniwheat]

Good luck FlutterOfYoshis and pitdigger!!

Today is my first go at 2 kids by myself. DH works from home but today he is helping with some repairs on his parents farm. So far so good! My 2.5 year old is in a happy mood so we have had a good morning and she ate a big lunch so I think I may even get her napping.

DS is 2 weeks old today which means I have been indoors for 2 weeks. I need to get out!!! I hope this is an early spring.

[mands1125]

Good morning everyone! Just enjoying not working, staring at my LO, and watching bad TV. DH had to work today because he had a new hire to get acclimated but will be home later. We are going to attempt our first sponge bath today! Eeee. She is going to hate us.
