Loved Parenthood so much, but never got into Gilmore Girls.
Still peeing cool-aid colored urine When you get an epidural, do you automatically get a catheter placed? Funny thing is I'm prone to recurrent UTIs that are horrible when they occur, but didn't have one during the entire pregnancy. Thanks urethra, for prolapsing, no I get irrational thoughts that I'll never pee normally again.
On the bright side, my dad came over to hang out with me today. Went for a walk on the boardwalk until I got too hot, then he made salmon, potatoes, and salad for DH and I. So thankful for that.
Can't believe one more week til baby. I wonder how all you guys decided what drugs to avoid/use for your inductions...or just went with your OB's recommendations.
Sorry my post is all over the place. Organization is hard today.
+1 for DH loving Gilmore Girls. We've both seen the entire series multiple times. The other one I've seen multiple times is Buffy. My go to show for a rotten day is that "Once More With Feeling" episode or the Dracula episode.
I don't know if I'm hyper emotional because tomorrow is my last day of work or it's hormones but I'm very bitchy and weepy today. And I'm not sure I know what I'll do for two weeks before baby comes...
DH drove me to Target today so I could pick up a few things. Everything made me hungry so in the checkout I picked up a thing of nuts. While walking out I said really loud "give me those nuts". Got a lot of weird looks and we laughed so hard.
@poppyc8 ...In that pic is nothing but Newborn & 0-3...& that's not all of it. I have all the rest put up. Its ridiculous right now.
Don't worry sully, I'm right there with ya! Between hand-me-downs, gifts and my purchases, this kid has an insane amount of clothes!!! I was actually relieved when the dr told me last night that she's going to be a small baby because that means all the NB size clothes will get used!

I think the cath varies by hospital/factors. Like they cath'd me right before pushing with DS. But after I had him and they needed to give me a 2nd bag of pit and left my epi in they put in a cath with a bag. I ended up with a kidney infection 6 weeks PP. I'm not saying it was from being cath'd, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's some correlation

I'm glad to be home. DH went on a grocery run for some basics, including bottled water. We're under a water ban. We can't drink or boil our tap water due to a high level of nitrates.
We have our first pediatric appointment with DS tomorrow and I'm interested/terrified to see how much weight he's lost. He is the worst at breastfeeding. I have to keep touching/rubbing/gently prodding him since he doesn't stay awake for very long at a go otherwise. I keep telling myself that it's early days and to just do my best.
I also really want to poop. It's been two days. I had a laxative with a high fiber dinner, so fingers crossed.
I'm stress poopin', y'all! Holy crap! (No pun intended. Ha!) But for real, this is getting ridiculous. If I can't poop after surgery I'll know it's because I'll literally have nothing left in my system!
5 hours of contractions less than 10 minutes apart (with 2 non-contiguous hours under 5 minutes apart), then nothing. My post-meal blood sugar went down to 52, despite having some garlic rolls and cheesecake. I feel like my nerves are closer to the surface than usual. And DS seems to have hit a growth spurt, making his sleep worse again. I am frazzled and crabby and so tired.

What I did: Prioritize which clothes were my favorite, put them at the top of the drawers to make sure they get worn. DS was in newborn for under 10 days, any brand (NEVER fit the Gerber NB OR 0-3.) He fit in 0-3 months until he was one month, and he was well into the 9-12 month size by 4 months (wearing it at 3 months, too). I would say at least half of his under-6-month clothes never got worn.

+1 for baby on the speedy growth trajectory. He grew over 7in in his first 4 months.
Also, while those gerber onesies are nice and slim, they are incredibly short in the torso!! So, you'll size up in those first!
