Wacky Wednesdays!

[oopsiedaisies]

Put it allllll out there!

[oopsiedaisies]

It's going to be a long day. I woke up at 415 due to contractions and my dd woke up at 515 ready to play! Woohoo!

Today is my sil's rcs...they'll have their baby in about 2.5 hours. My due date was first so I'm kind of jealous they're getting their outside baby first, but I wouldn't want to borrow her medical troubles, so I'm just going to wait patiently for my labor to start... :-)

[gingerygirl]

My mom is back from vacation! She got in really late last night so I'm not going to wake her up...but as soon as she does get up im dropping the baby on her for some grandma time and going to get my hair cut for some much needed me time.

Also, my husbands new job is potentially relocating him to a city about an hour and a half away so tomorrow we are driving up there to look at apartments. We might be moving out of my parents house sooner than planned! Is this real life??

Morning ladies!! Peanut has been super sleepy and lazy nursing the last two feedings. I'm trying to not worry to much, but we've been home since yesterday afternoon and I don't want to end up readmitted tomorrow at her check up for jaundice. Her color looks good, but I wish she'd dirty some more diapers and get interested in eating already.

Nelson is big on taking breaks we have to squeeze his hand, tickle feet, compress boob etc. he stays latched but just forgets what he is doing. Usually a boob squeeze is enough to set him going again, but DH and dd like to help out. Also use the sunny window if you have it , he was jaundice too.

[Laverne]

Good morning, I gave Nelson to DH after the first boob at 5:20 and he wouldn't give the kid back, they are both still sleeping while I lounge and wait for teapot! This is nice! I think today us going to be a good one! Also bilirubin is under control!
Eta: first day in real underwear!

[oopsiedaisies]

gingerygirl, enjoy your haircut and congrats on your hubs new position!

[elizabethnevadap]

Good morning! It's cold here! It's 57 degrees and it's only going to get up to 72. Pre-baby I wanted it as hot as Mother Nature could dish it out. Not so much this year.
Today is another Babywearing Meeting at the library. It's crazy fun to try on all the carriers, at the end though, Jack's face is always like "stop treating me like a rag doll."
Tonight is my postpartum appt. Fun stuff. Makes me a teensy bit sad because I know we won't be back to our OB office in awhile. Pregnancy is so exciting, and I'm sentimental. I keep thinking about all the nervous excitement... Confirmation of pregnancy, all the ultrasounds, finding out the sex, etc.
all the feels!

Dear child, please stop falling asleep while nursing and waking up rooting as soon as I put you down. Mommy is tired. Thanks.

[kaeguri]

@missava387 I always feel guilty waking up DH to change and feed her MOTN too, even though I do all of it 95% of the time. I guess it's that night time it's just us and so quiet and peaceful. Although I never think about that during the night. All I think about is "omgZzzz finish already child so I can sleeeep."

My mom offered to watch LO tonight so me and DH could have some alone time. We debated on taking a day trip somewhere but the logistics of having to pump every few hours plus the idea of being away from my baby that long made me nix that. So we're going out to a fancy dinner downtown and then wandering around the city just the two of us like we used to do pre-baby. yay!

That's the night I had, too. I need sleep and a shower.

I feel like such a downer. 41+2 today. Trying to keep my spirits up but the possibility of a 2nd homebirth transfer feels kinda devastating...especially as I'm 100% healthy this time. Her back up has great vbac rates but the possibility of doing this again is harsh.

I've been so concerned about our LO'S lack of dirty diapers after spending a night in the hospital for jaundice levels but the pediatrician isn't concerned. They said it's very common for babies this age to go a 2-3 days without a bm. So I've tried to relax about it.

Nelson didn't get the memo either, I can understand the allure of bed sharing now, but DH will have non of it, because of SIDS

[oopsiedaisies]

My SIL had a healthy baby boy! 10 pounder!

[layloo08]

Due date is today and H is off of work! We are spending it being lazy (unless Noah decides it's his birthday but I'm convinced the kid just really likes it on the inside).

I had a crappy day yesterday with my appointment (no change, etc) but I feel better today. BPP tomorrow morning to make sure things are still looking good and my Dr told me we can induce at anytime I'm ready; just call him. It's so tempting but I'm going to hold out.

Google safe bedsharing. Saved me with my first who was like that. Done right the risk of SIDS or suffocation is very very low.

I wll, but he is so overprotective, this is first baby at 52. He is a tad paranoid about breaking the baby right now.

+1 ... on nights that my H had to work, DD and I slept in the guest room and bedshared. It was the only way I got sleep

Men, so convinced that babies will break and then so willing to throw toddlers in the air over concrete. Need to learn some in between.

Do you have hypnobabies? I've been having so much anxiety about a possible transfer and last night I listened to the birth affirmations track even though I have yet to actually do any of my hypnobabies course. I also looked up birth affirmations on pinterest and read and pinned them to a new board. Seems trivial, but holy cow did it help. I feel so much more confident in my body doing what it's supposed to do before the time is up. I know you're several days further than I am, but I hope this can bring you some peace.

Seems like we all had that kind of night. I will admit to letting her scream in her rock n play for a while last night just because she was changed, not hot, not cold, didn't need to burp, just ate. She was fine and was just screaming because she wanted to be held.

Do they have you on formula? Between B wanting to sleep all the time and not wake up for feedings and the purity of breastmilk, it's the only way we got his jaundice cleared up and got him to start finally gaining weight.

He was so hard to wake up to get him to feed which makes the jaundice be drawn out even longer. He needed food that wasn't so pure.

40+3 today. For some reason all of the joints on the left side of my body hurts. My shoulder, elbow, hip and knee. What the heck. Baby must be pushing something.

I'm so over working. Way too may people asking why I'm still here.

Got an email telling me I have an appointment tomorrow at 9am and another Friday at 330pm. That's my induction! I can't believe he'll actually be here Friday. Or well, realistically Saturday. My Dad arrives Saturday so he'll get a nice fresh Grandbaby to hold! My first thought seeing that it was at 330pm was "I can work a half day." No. No Jamie you will not. What is wrong with me!?

[runningmommy519]

@oppsiedaisies. Fx for outside baby soon

gingerygirl good luck at house hunting

jgesi sometimes Ethan roots because he wants to suck and a pacifier does the trick.

kaeguri have a fun date night!

Hi abvintage! Saw you posted yesterday! Welcome back!

Dh was like this bad sometimes will still tell me to put him in the rnp, but then I give him the "ok, you stay up with him all night then" speech and glare. The only way I'm sleeping is with baby in bed snuggled against me, he's even started wiggling himself to the boob and latching on himself. When he's done he falls back to sleep.
Don't take my sleep from me.

[runningmommy519]

More unpacking to do today. DS is having the first of 2 observations today. The process to see if he qualifies for services through the district is a long one.

The 2nd observation happens next week then we meet the following week to discuss results.

That's when I put on headphones and listen to a podcast while holding him in the glider. #badmom

THE MILK HUMAN HAS HAD A SHOWER AND IS CHANGING ME! RELEASE THE URINE!

FFS, child of mine, really?

[htuzzi324]

N just spit up while nursing, which turned into me getting a face full of milk.
Ew.

I'm calling my behavioral health dept for my insurance today and getting recommended someone to talk to. Whenever I have a moment to myself, which is rare, I find myself really upset and bitter about my birth experiences. I so badly wanted to have a baby naturally, and the realization that I'm never going to be pregnant again is making it worse for some reason, even though I don't want anymore children.
Why is my brain so confusing?!
