MONDAY!

[suelou18]

ladytiffany24 - Having DD in DC has been huge for us. The routine is so important for her, plus she is so happy there. Also, naps for me during the day.

GL to all of those having babies today!

I had a friend ask if DS was sleeping through the night this weekend. I told her yes while laughing. Obviously, this is not true. I agree that no one should ask about sleep, unless they are going to be the ones getting up. If you want to know how much sleep I'm getting so you can volunteer to get up in the middle of the night, then ask away, haha.

Update: Baby is breech. They are scheduling a csection probably for the afternoon. Not the way I wanted to go, but we just want to get her out safely.

It'll all be fine! Fwiw I have found recovering from a c-section way better than a vaginal delivery, even taking into account the fact that I fainted when they first got me to stand post op.

Hopefully you have a quick procedure and speedy recovery!

This baby farts like a grown ass adult

Finally got a good fit in cloth diapers on this girl! Yaaassss.
I am excited to not buy many more disposables $$$

[kaits8]

Pretty sure I've thrown my back out I thought I was just hurting the last few days but on a scale of 1-10 it's up there near 10 now & is giving out when I move wrong (which is all the time when dealing with a toddler). I just scheduled an appointment for tomorrow with a prenatal chiropractor..I'm a bit nervous to go while pregnant but I'm desperate. Anyone get chiro work done while pregnant?

GL! Hopeful that things go smoothly for you two from here.

@corrine good luck. You get to meet your baby today! So exciting.

I'm currently chugging water and shoveling chocolate cake into my mouth while pumping. Both kids are napping (although DS2 very briefly startled awake when my fork hit the cake plate a little too loudly). Hopefully they'll keep napping after I'm done being hooked up to this milking machine so that I can get some other stuff done this afternoon.

Now I regret asking DH to buy "healthy sustainable snacks" last night.

Fruit cups and greek yogurt for my pumping snack. I really want cake now though!

[erinshelley21]

SIL, SSIL, and 3 nieces just stopped by to visit while they were out. Dh and ds came home shortly after. Then my brother and his wife showed up so I could sign things for work.

My house was so f'ing loud!

The good news is dd slept through all of it!

[amandamh2]

Ugh if my mom mentions when her holidays renew one more time I'm going to lose it. I know it would be more convenient for her if this baby doesn't come until April 1 or later but I have no control over that. Plus I'm really sore and uncomfortable so I would love for baby to arrive earlier haha. She also keeps mentioning how I'm further along than she ever was so she has no idea how it feels to be this pregnant (my brothers and I were all born at 34-37 weeks, this baby is currently 38) and it's driving me insane. She means well but it needs to stop.

[callmeKD]

Good luck @corrine!

[kaits8]

Fearsy, awesome, thank you so much for sharing! I'm basically only getting my left foot off the floor now if I'm able to support myself 100% on something solid so I'm really really hoping they're able to make it at least a little better tomorrow.

Edit: because I screwed up quoting on mobile so had to go back and tag instead.

[Quinstar]

kaits8 , I went to one, I was in so much pain I couldn't even walk. It really helped, I don't regret it in the least.

ETA: I was scared to go at first too, but I went to a prenatal specialist and that eased my fears a lot

[Quinstar]

Brian has a gooey eye, started last night. The doctor said to call and schedule an appointment if it's still around tomorrow. She said it could be a clogged tear duct or pink eye. :/

Clogged tear ducts are really common. Max has been a little goopy, too, and his pedi was less than concerned. Hoping it's nothing for you!

I know I'm supposed to enjoy the baby but all I ever find myself thinking is, "only *insert number of weeks* until she's 6 months".

So yeah, that's where I'm at.

[amacbaby]

corinne good luck! Hopefully you are snuggling baby now or soon!

You're still in the hospital right? How's it going?

[skk]

Yay for more babies and good luck to all the moms!

Recovery is going well and we came home from the hospital a day early, but I'm still a bit overwhelmed. I'm thankful for all the help from my mom and DH and am hopeful to get my feet more planted soon. Recovery from this csection has been much easier so far but it's also a double edged sword. I feel good enough to do things but then probably overdo it a bit...ugh. one day at a time.

Hoping to catch up and be more active here soon...

[erinshelley21]

Fearsy not alone. They take a second to load on tapatalk and I always end up hitting a pinned post when I think I'm hitting an actual active thread. The anger is short lived but still annoying.

[moutonrouge]

The rest of my day has gone much better than the morning started out. I took a solid nap, and the baby was up 1 pound at her 2 week weight check.

[jnow]

Today was a day and everything below my belly button but above my knees is throbbing.

[kristhegirl]

I think part of the problem is we don't have an official mod for this board - just a handful of us are mods on other boards and pinch-hitting when we need something (which is not often.)

Do we need to pick a mod?

AW post:

Yesterday during tummy time Jack rolled onto his back. Figured it was a coincidence, didn't think it was "real". Welp. The three times I've attempted tummy time today he has rolled over. Ahhhhh!

DD rolls over, too...

Okay so if we can agree on which ones and no one has issue with it, I can unpin some of them. LMK!

I'd say we don't need the roster, or the hospital bag, pinned any more.

I hate to unpin our Angels but then I wonder if it's weird to have it up indefinitely? Please forgive me if that's insensitive, I don't mean it to be.

[cosmicav]

Who here knows a lot of stuff about breast feeding??? I'll post details on the breast feeding board but.....

I just took a shower and I noticed a little white blob on my nipple. I don't know how long it's been there. It's been awhile since I showered #newbornlyfe
I lightly squeezed it (idk why) and MILK CAME OUT?

I am 3 weeks and 2 days post partum. We haven't attempted the breast for like 2 weeks because I just never have made milk; it was kind of like why bother? I don't feel engorged or anything. I have never had milk come out of my breast before. Should I even bother trying to pursue breastfeeding or should I just KOKO with the formula and don't even worry about it? I am thinking I am going to try since i always wanted to breastfeed but I don't want to set myself up for angst and failure. I want to be realistic here.

Absolutely the most WTF moment of my day. Possibly of my year, tbh

Is this real life?

[erinshelley21]

cosmicav there's no harm in trying especially if it's something you really want! Do some skin to skin and see if she'll latch on that boob.

I agree with those. And I know what you mean about not wanting to be insensitive about the angels thread. Unpinning it doesn't mean we have or will forget those lost babes, though.

Re: electing a mod - I haven't been around consistently since our board started so I could be wrong but I feel like if we made it this far without a designated mod, then we probably don't need one now. Although if the group wants one, then let's get one!

I say leave the angels thread up through this month at least, then perhaps it can be unpinned.  I know personally I didn't expect my old BMB to keep the angels thread up forever, but I think it's important to have up during the birth month.

Am I the only one irrationally annoyed by the ridiculous number of pinned posts we have?

No? Just me?

I need this baby out so my hormones can take a chill pill.

Yes!! I'm so glad I'm not alone in this, especially on the days when there's eleventy site wide posts pinned too #notbreezy

+2 I think we can let some go.

I can't believe it. I don't remember it happening with my girls for much longer. I am interested to see if it is a skill that stays.

March 17 babies must just be extra strong!

A has done it a few times when Latin on my chest but I kind of think my boobs help a bit. Her face when she suddenly ends up on her back is pretty amazing though

Also, talk to me about tummy time. I know we should be doing it but it's kind of fallen to the back of the to do list in favor daily survival. So, how often? How long? What do you do?

Ok so, if I have a moment where she's happy and awake I put her on her tummy till she gets a little mad.

No set time or anything, but I'm very go with the flow.
