Ugh, I took off my bra about to pump, then I realized I left my storage bottles in the kitchen. Apparently I leak milk when I go braless. So gross that I must share to gross all of you out too.

Sounds familiar. I changed bras yesterday and flowed all over the floor.

miniwheat, get better soon!!

Just walked around the lobby of my building for 20 minutes. I feel like a freaking Olympian for all the effort it took.

[lilyelayne]

miniwheat hope you get to see the doctor & you caught the problem early enough that recovery is quick

mrsclark731 that baby watch picture is the best

mels823 definitely take a nap & don't clean the house; your family won't care (or it won't matter if they do)

lotsofdotts holy crap re: the athletic director comment. Crazy inappropriate.

maddscientist sorry your Wicked experience was disappointing.

As for me, hoping today will be the last day I have to come to the office, and I can just work remotely til LO gets here. Driving 30 miles in the rain to get here this morning was not my favorite thing.
My paternal grandmother was convinced for absolutely no reason at all that I was going into labor last night. Obviously she was incorrect. Trying not to feel like I'll never go into labor since EDD isn't til next week anyway...

[angeldcf]

TL;DR- need to vent...

Still here, still pregnant. Worked yesterday & scheduled to work Mon-Tues. No signs of labor (maybe a few ctrx/hr), bounced on birthing ball, ate Indian food last night, walked a ton at work... just nada.

DH & I had a huge fight this morning that resulted in me bawling. This is huge bc I don't cry. We met with our financial planner and after a 2hr review of all income, debt, investments, mat leave, we decided to cash in a portion of DH's stock options to pay off his pickup (2013 but high mileage already) and use extra cash to fund 2016 Roths and pay down my vehicle. We've been waiting for stock to hit $X; it did, we sold. This morning, DH says he doesn't know if we should do this and maybe should get a new washer/dryer and TV. Fight about we did meet to discuss, develop a plan together to pay off a depreciating liability and now he wants to change it. I don't feel like a partner. He's impulsive (gotten better over the years), I'm a planner. He's emotional, I'm rational.

He's made several comments this week about his frustration over planning work meetings bc of L&D. WTF- I'm the one 40wks pg, having ctrx, working 13-14hr shifts as we're slammed, running with the crash cart to code pts..... you're stressed bc you don't know if you can attend your steakhouse lunch meeting?!!

I'm still pregnant. Okay, my due date isnt even here yet so I need to stop complaining. But really. My kids tell me everyday to push really hard so she will come out. I wish it was that easy.My uterus is a crock pot and not an oven.

Eta. Woke up five minutes ago. The BH contractions have already started. Love these things...

Yes! Crock pot tummy. I'm thinking that's what I'm suffering from this time around.
Baby, why u no come?!

[calliope]

Due date tomorrow, and DS1 and I have a head cold. DH just caught it a day behind us, so we're all feeling blah. I was so happy wed'd been able to avoid the sickness going around, but I guess I jinxed myself. Sad day...

[flyster]

My mom is heading out today, so I've got LO in the ergo...we don't' have the infant insert so i can't do much around the house...but it does leave my hands free so I can play computer games. Glorious Friday it is.

[boxerrrmama85]

In an attempt to get the little one to sleep last night, H dashed to Walmart last night and bought the Fisher Price Rock and Play-- well it was definitely a more peaceful night with fewer pterodactyl noises-- but still up every 2-3 hours.

Feeling frustrated today because my husband is a great photographer and has taken great pics of Charlotte and I, but we don't have any pics of him and Charlotte (other than iPhone pics) and today we attempted to take family shots that ended with a fussy baby, grumpy dad (because I don't know how to use his camera) and a sweaty mom. I wish I just hired a photog

[GeekBeagle]

Still pregnant as well and due date is today. I was certain I would have him before my due date, so this is frustrating. He might think it's too cold being that it feels like -7 out. Maybe he'll come during the "heat wave" this weekend.

[mels823]

PikoPiko, hahaha I do that all of the time. So annoying!

[kcrosem]

hollydfromtn, Rock and play is the best thing ever. I hope your LO likes it.

Re inside babies, I hope they decide to make their arrivals soon!

@miniwheat, I hope you can be seen and that you feel better soon

G. Is back up to birth weight at 2w1d and I am so glad! Would be happier if i hadn't forgotten his metabolic screening paperwork at home so we have to go back to the pedi today.

He likes to be awake from 2-4 am. I am trying to have DH do the 11pm get him back to sleep and then go it on my own but today I got him up at 5:30 to take over.

[danitaec]

Member of the still-pregnant club, but I'm ok with it. Had a bad BP reading from the school nurse yesterday, so now I've got an OB appointment today. He's usually not terribly concerned with the numbers, but his nurse was freaking and saying he may not let me go home after my appointment. NO. I still have a week! Let me have my week! I know that my "plan" doesn't matter, but still. Sad face.

[MrsPavlov]

angeldcf, I know how that feels and you get countless hugs from me. DH and I have had blowups in the past over money (he's the spender and I'm the saver), and it just felt awful to realize that someone you trusted to make smart financial decisions for the family was just failing you. It was almost like a betrayal, in a way. Teamwork and common goals are of utmost importance, though, and when both people aren't on board it's just awful. And as for him getting his panties in a bunch over a work meeting? Sounds like somebody needs a swift kick in the balls lasting for a minute every 3-5 minutes for at least an hour, and then for the next 10 hours until he passes a watermelon through his urethra.

edit cuz i don't know how boards werk

[michelle142]

I have a huge zit on my chin all of a sudden. I'm taking this to mean that baby will be born soon so I can be photographed with a huge, red bump on my face.

When DS was born, I had a huge one on my cheek, so this would be par for the course.

[cloe111479]

Quinn and I went on our first shopping trip today and we survived. It was just to babies r us for some stuff. But we survived our first trip out.

[miniwheat]

Thank you for the well wishes ladies!

I was able to see the nurse at my Dr's office. She doesn't see any signs of infection and suspects the discharge I had could be a normal part of the healing process cause it was so minor. I don't have a fever or redness and swelling so she suggested that I keep monitoring it, keeping it dry with gauze and a touch of polysporin on the area I was worried about. If it gets worse I need to head to the ER but she seemed confident that it was still healing right on track.
Thank goodness!
Last time I was readmitted to the hospital and I didn't want to end up in the same boat.

It sounds like both of our boys are refusing to make an appearance due to the cold

This weekend it will get up into the 40's. I keep joking that he's a Florida baby and won't come out when it's in the single digits.

[lilyelayne]

miniwheat glad you don't have an infection!

Sounds familiar. I changed bras yesterday and flowed all over the floor.

With DS, I once managed to shoot milk clear across my bathroom after a shower. It was a solid 7 feet.

I was impressed.

So I just saw that there is now a winter storm warning from 10 p.m. tonight to 7.p.m tomorrow. It says potential 5"-8" of snow and ice accumulations. Eek!

Hopefully he decides quickly or waits until Sunday at this point! I was thinking of you today and hoping he was a due date baby.

Oh ew. I'm so over snow and ice.

[mamabutt2]

LO gets to meet his half brother today! I cant wait to see how my step son reacts to him. Apparently when Nana told SS that LO was born, he said "But Nana why is he out?" I guess he thought I was going to have an inside baby forever lol

[mamabisme]

Another for the still pregnant club! I can't complain because I have an end in sight (RCS on my due date- 2/25)though. We have a million things to do, since this is the last weekend before baby. I'm currently alternating between freaking out because I feel so unprepared and feeling like these next 5 days will never pass.

This morning I went to the gym but decided to skip my usual spin class because I was feeling cranky and antisocial and didn't want to deal with people. For cardio, I chose the treadmill because they were all empty (there are 12)and specifically chose the very last one in the row because it is in a corner against a wall on one side and I thought there was no way anyone would end up next to me. Wrong. The very next person that came in(complete stranger) chose to bypass all other treadmills to use the one right next to me and talk to me the entire time, even though I was wearing headphones and tried pretending I couldn't hear him. I am usually a very friendly person but I think I need to work on my resting bitch face for times like these. Things like this happen far too often. I am obviously too approachable to the general public.

I absolutely do not understand people who are overly chatty at the gym. I get saying hi if you'd like to chat, but if the other person doesn't respond / responds minimally / keeps her headphones in, get the no talking memo!!

[danitaec]

Aaand we've been admitted for induction. Didn't even make it to my appointment; nurse called while I was driving and told me to head to the hospital. Got my GBS drugs, and started Cervidil. Not what I had in mind, but oh well. Now that we're here, my BP has decided to be much closer to normal. Dumb.

[mrsclark731]

danitaec, good luck! FX for a smooth delivery

[canadian6]

My baby cam home today! She is still teeny tiny but weighed enough to fit into her car seat! It's been a long 10 days. Hospitals are no place to get sleep!

[Mom2Ms]

I don't have much in the way of spam..... BUT I will try. I didn't get a baby moon this time or last time. So, I decided that I would celebrate my daughter (her name is Maisey) this weekend with a "Maisey-moon." Today, we went and had a spa day. It was so much fun. We got massages, facials, hand/foot massage, lunch and blow outs. She loved it. I was impressed with her staying on task. Tomorrow, DH and I have rented a hotel room at a resort here in town and are going to take her. Then on Sunday, DH is going to take her hiking, while I get another massage.

The best part of the day was her and I chatting over lunch. Her idiot sperm donor decided to give her some advice on a girl at school who is being not so nice to her, this mean girl is named MORGAN. So she tells me that he tells her, "Just tell that little girl that MORON is MORGAN without a G........" I contain myself as my daughter calmly says, "Mom, Im pretty sure that does not spell moron." She is 6. WINNING.
