wirtlehm Holy. Shit. (And I promise I don't curse that much. But seriously.) I just looked at your ticker and realized two things: 1) we have the same due date. 2) Your Fiona's middle names are my middle name and my sister's.
I just got full body chills. Wanna be my birth buddy? I feel very invested in your Fiona right now!!!
Blaugh. It's official. I need 3 impacted wisdom teeth taken out asap. I have a consultation on Thursday. I'm in so much pain, I can't believe I have to wait that long just for the consultation. The surgery will probably not be till next week
My husband had bought me a groupon for a massage but it expires on Tuesday. Should I try to get it done on Saturday, even with this dental pain? The real pain is coming from infected and swollen gums caused by one of the teeth, so I am starting antibiotics today. Maybe Saturday I will be feeling a bit better? Or is that just wishful thinking?
mels823 so sorry. Such terrible timing. You should feel significantly better once the antibiotics kick in, so that part of the pain probably won't be an issue by Saturday. Also, swish with warm salt water, it helps draw infection out and make your gums feel a bit better.

Yay!
It's probably meant to be anyway! I will be your birth buddy! (I feel like I'm accepting a proposal of marriage )
Had my 38w appointment today and am so relieved that my blood pressure is very normal now. I was definitely freaking out over the 150/100 reading two weeks ago.
mels823, maybe call the massage place and see if you can schedule it for after the extraction and maybe they will extend the certificate by a little bit??

So last night I had extremely awful abdominal pain. Being 12 days PP, I was concerned it could have something to do with my uterus since immediately after the pain started I began bleeding bright red again after it tapering off the past few days. I head to the ER and they did a CAT scan which showed my appendix/organs surrounding appendix are inflamed! I didn't have elevated white blood cells though, so they wanted to keep me overnight to observe. Cue tears of leaving my LO for the first night!
Since my blood results came back fine today, I was allowed to leave and monitor my temperature at home and come back if I had any more pain. Man was it great to see my baby!! H said he cried all night long and he has been such a good sleeper.
Here's to hoping my organs chill out! It's been pretty painful and not what I need while trying to take care of a 2 week old.

Omg that's scary! Glad everything came back ok and that you're reunited with your LO. FX nothing else odd happens like that!

Good luck to everyone having babies today!
toadandbuggie -- that is scary! Good thing you went to the ER. I hope your organs chill out
My spam today: the damn granuloma in my mouth has regenerated itself. It is pushing my front teeth apart and it makes me really, really sad. The only thing that is making me feel better is the vagina varicose vein thread I just read on the Dump. That is one pregnancy related ailment that has mine beat.

Thank you, it was amazing to see him after almost 12 hours apart. It was scary! The one doctor was like "How long did you have the pain for?" And it was about 45 minutes of excruciating/can't focus pain before it turned into just uncomfortable. He made me feel bad for not waiting any longer. I was like, um... I am postpartum, wouldn't you rather me come in than run the risk of hemorrhaging or some other serious issue?

The hell? I'm heading over now to read this shit...

wirtlehm -- it was on another months board.... I can't remember which one. Apparently it is very painful and there were quite a few women that chimed in as sufferers.

Oh this sounds awful! Now I'm counting myself lucky that I don't have vagina issues!!!
toadandbuggie glad you're back with your LO; hopefully it was just an isolated episode of inflammation and you're past it now?
Getting ready to go to my OB appt, and this evening DH & I have an infant care class at a local-ish hospital (not the one I'm delivering at; the bigger hospital 30 miles away). I've spent way too long today thinking about where I want to eat tonight, since we have to go to town anyway!

I found it! It's on the second page of March 2015 and is literally called 'Vaginal Vericose Veins.' How's that for some illiteration?
That's the attitude I'm taking (DD and DS think it's no big deal. DD said "God, no one she goes to school with will even know what that movie IS!"). I hadn't even thought about it--the only movie/TV Fiona that occurred to me was the Irish assassin from Burn Notice. Which = awesome in my book.
I haven't told ANYONE the baby's name since the kids and DH and I agreed on it, except people directly involved in her birth (midwife, doula, mom). Found out last week that he's been "running it by a few people". (He then assured me that it wasn't a big deal, because it wasn't anyone we know. As in, he's been asking strangers' opinions. Finally he admitted he's basically told all of his friends. And maybe some of mine. Argh.)
I love that name so much that I really don't care what anyone else thinks about it, but I did kind of get into the joy of having some kind of secret. I am typically a very private person (anonymousish interwebbing aside), and this pregnancy it feels like all of facebook has their head up my cervix. So it was nice to have something no one else knew... Next kid, I guess.
And I'm actually excited that there's another Fiona in the BM. That feels reassuring somehow...
I would like to let you know that that is the EXACT reason we chose Fiona as well... because she's beautiful and bad ass!
I understand how you feel completely about DH, my DH and I said we weren't going to tell anyone and then he went around dropping hints all over town and now everyone knows... I always said if someone GUESSED the name I wouldn't lie about it but I wasn't going out of my way to help anyone. I felt the same way you did, like, EVERYONE knows I'm pregnant, EVERYONE knows it's a girl... so why not make SOMETHING a surprise?!
I'm pretty stoked too that there is another Burn Notice Fi over here! And then I saw that RedGiant also has a Fiona too!
Did you and DH come up w a middle name? That was a toughy for me (I kept thinking "Apple" hahaha!)
If this one was a girl, we were going to go with Fiona too. I still want to use it if we have a girl down the road!
Just got back from a bunch of daycare tour and am pooped. Haven't read any of your spams but will get around to them after a nap. So much for working from home!
Had a terrible night of fake labour, barely got any sleep. C'mon Little Lucas, don't you love mummy? Be nice, please.

Good luck to all the mama's giving birth today. I'm jealous since I've been having contractions for two days and nothing is really happening. I'll have them irregularly for a few hours and then it will stop. They are just enough to be slightly painful and annoying.
But on a positive note, it is English teacher Christmas today because Harper Lee has announced she is releasing another book! I squealed with delight when I read the NY Times article at lunch!
Good luck to all the moms heading in today to meet their little ones.
It's official. I want this baby out so I don't have to be at work anymore. Yes it is a selfish reason but I only have 6 wks and I want to spend them with her. So please get here. I'm over and done with it.
Really little miss feel free to make it here as soon as you want. Mama is done. Your due date is close enough. It's just monday. It would make mama happy if you came now. Really.

I am exactly right here with you. I'm just ready to be done with work, but won't be finished until baby girl makes her appearance. Since we're now 38 weeks I am ready for her to come on....then remember DH is gone with the Marines through this weekend and she needs to wait until Sunday. So any time after Sunday she can come on already!
