Having such a rough day today. So emotional. We had been contemplating getting our cat put down because he has not been well and today he crossed the rainbow bridge I ugly cried pretty much all day. So tired of contractions that start and stop. Hoping tomorrow is a better day!
Oh I am so, so sorry. I would have such a hard time if one of our cats decided to go- especially right now. Thinking of you and sending positive vibes your way.
Cried in the Shake Shack parking lot yesterday bc H suggested that I am 'too focused on the baby's birth,' and I should 'relax and think about something else.' Um, OK. I'll give that a try. Although we then did get Shake Shack, and I felt much better, so the crying *might* have been hanger related.
Had some teeny, tiny, possible contractions yesterday evening, so I made an angel food cake and ate half of it. Nothing else happened. I know, great story.
I did lose my MP on Friday night!
mathistm sorry to hear about your kitty. we're big cat people over here. I'm certain yours lived a wonderful life. xo
First day with an outside baby and I'm loving baby snuggles! She had some scary spit up/mucus she was gagging on making it the first time of a million more I'll freak out in her life!
I STILL have fat swollen feet! It's been 11 days since I had the baby and it will not go away. I'm also thinking about calling the nurse because my lower stomach is very sore and it kinda sorta feels like I might have a UTI when I pee but not every time and I'm just not sure what is normal..or not.
I have the same symptoms and went to the dr yesterday. They gave me amoxicillin just in case it is a UTI and are waiting until the urine culture comes back tomorrow for confirmation. I'd call if you haven't yet.

I did end up calling and just got home from the Dr. I saw the NP and she said everything looked great and that everything I was feeling was very normal and could take a couple to several months to fully fade. All the fun stuff they don't tell you when they say "oh hey we need to do a C-section"
I am currently at the supermarket by myself. This is the first time I've been away from my baby since he was born 11 days ago. It feels very weird, but oddly liberating at the same time.
This is totally random but I just found out that they hired exactly the person I wanted to cover my leave! YAY!! Oh and I'm watching the "Once More With Feeling" episode of Buffy and for supper I'm cooking pork chops with mushroom gravy which is totally my favourite meal!

I know induction talks have been covered before...but how did you guys decide between cytotec, cervidil or the foley bulb, and pitocin and then breaking the water. There seems so much conflicting information out there.
Today hasn't been the best, but H stayed home from work and I'm glad we got to spend the day together!
We both woke up at 4:30. Decided to eat some breakfast an hour or so later. And then he decided to stay home from work and we finally fell back to sleep for a little while. We ran some errands and I started feeling nauseated but we wanted to go see the Entourage movie and I figured I was probably just hungry and would be fine after snacking on a little popcorn. Couldn't eat much and after the movie I still felt nauseated but we went to pick up some lunch. As soon as we got home I went straight the bathroom and vomited. Blegghh. Nausea has mostly gone away but has now been replaced by cramping and diarrhea. Gahhh what is going on with me. I've been 'regular' and nausea free since the end of the first tri! I'm hoping this is my body prepping itself for labor! Not fun though!

I didn't decide either. My dr said I would start with just my iv antibiotics for being strep b positive. Then pitocin and water breaking. I was already dilated to 3 though when she said that.

My doctor set my induction plan with misopristol (it's the generic of cytotec, I believe?). Then when I got there and was 3cm dilated, we went straight to pitocin. The only thing I was against was breaking my water and it broke on its own so I didn't have to fight for that.
1. I had to refill my zantac rx again. I'd hoped baby would be an outside baby already so I wouldn't have to do so. SAD.
2. I ache everywhere in the pelvic region today.
3. My ILs are coming tomorrow to stay until baby arrives. Which could be anytime between now and 6/30. We have a (fortunately large) 2br apartment, they'll be sleeping in the living room. I have traveled to Europe with my ILs (w/o DH) and have a very good relationship with them, but if this baby takes his sweet time to arrive, I might lose my mind.
4. It's our 8th anniversary and DH has a work meeting tonight. Womp womp.

Close quarters with anyone when you are waiting for baby is tough and having people stay in your living room is a pain because you're constantly tripping on them. Fingers crossed that baby decides it wants to meet you all right away!
