The s'mores Oreos are in my mouth as I type this. They are amazing. I'm not huge on cookies like this and I never like the special edition Oreos. I can't stop eating them!
Random thought (question) and give me your honest feedback - What do you think about making a poll (or multiple ones) type thing to easily be able to glance at the following once people have had their babies: 1- Did baby arrive early, due date, or late 2- How did your labor begin? (Water breaking, contractions, induction, scheduled cs) 3 - How did baby arrive? (vaginal or cs)
If this is redundant or an extra unneeded step since there is a birth announcement thread, I get it. But as the arrivals are starting to happen more frequently, I've already been wondering how many people had a cs and how many pushed out baby without wanting to scroll through the whole thread. And I figure it'll just be harder to keep track of as time goes on because that thread is really starting to pick up the pace.
Thoughts? Dumb? Ok? Best idea you've ever heard, ever?

I'm a puddle of feels right now. DH with Oliver. Oliver waking up crying but totally falling asleep to the sound of my heart as I hold him. If I move him away he wakes. Who needs sleep when you've got newborn cuddles
Congratulations mama! All the newborn feels. enjoy every precious moment!

I'm totally with you right now. Up with a midnight feeding and now she is sleeping on my chest waiting for her daddy to swaddle her. I'm sleep deprived and sore (boobs and lady bits), but it's worth it when those big eyes look up at you.

Give me all the polls. For #3 it might be interesting to distinguish between planned c and emergency c.

Also please allow posters to pick at least 2 options on each poll, and have one option to show me the results, or if there is another way to show results before voting please do that. Polls like these are a lot less fun for us Caboose mamas if we can't see the results until we can vote ourselves- there was a previous poll that was like that, I think for the anatomy scan or GD test, and it drove me nuts

It is all so beautiful! I love seeing SO with Vera, I cant describe the feels between that and the cuddles. Nope. Cant. Glad you are able to experience that! Beautiful, beautiful times.
It was a love/hate relationship with DD. fantastic because it meant I wasn't the human pacifier. But awful because once DD became attached to the bloody things, it felt impossible to go anywhere without them. I'm so hoping this LO doesn't need one and doesn't use me as a human pacifier.
Ugh, pacis. My niece is 3 and apparently her dentist said the paci is fine until she's FOUR. I knew it was going to be bad when my MIL would pop it in her face when she was just a content baby, not fussing or looking for it. Now she's always trying to take it from her. For a while it was down until they were just for sleeping but now she walks around with it in her mouth and talks with it. So annoying because you can't understand her. But the dentist said it's ok so...
@jemomma it's super slow. I can't think of anything exciting to contribute to make it better. I think being on baby watch for all the induction and c-section mamas refreshing so frequently makes it seem extra slow.
Oh and I have a random too, I just thought of after being in the fridge. H came home with milk the other day and was like 'Look!' -it expires on the due date! Measuring time through milk expiration dates is exciting in my books, haha.
Is it just me or is this board incredibly slow this week? Is it just because of all the new squishes being born? I feel like I need some distraction since I am not due until late June and I will go crazy just sitting at home thinking about it.
Yes! I'm finally online often enough to participate and everyone seems to have disappeared.... is it me? Haha.
I wanted to but our trip to the Children's Hospital killed both of those dreams.
@jemomma, Oh SO decided to start using it after the hospital visit, I didn't want to because I don't want to wean her off it later. During the day she is fine and is either 50/50 about it at night though, if it falls out of her mouth it is like the world has ENDED. I give him a dirty look all the time. Now that he has her started I feel bad not giving it to her. Luckily, she doesn't want it all the time.

I am just having a really hard time reading posts. If it is more than a few sentences my brain says "fuck that". It is making it really hard for me to participate and respond.

After 9 months of being a human pacifier to DD, she found one in her room one day and suddenly took to it. (After refusing when she was younger.) Of course, I was thrilled at the time because I was comfort nursing constantly, but here we are now... she's almost 21 months and I have no idea how I'll ever wean her off of it.

I did this exactly! I bought milk on Sunday and was excited to show DH that the milk expired on the due date! This isn't the first time I've measured time in milk expiration!
