My nurse was sure I would have a MOTN baby but she was wrong 😂 just got Cervadil out and took a shower (pro tip: if they ask if you want to take a shower, the answer is always yes. Lol). I am 2 cm and 70%. Starting Pitocin and breaking my water soon to get things moving! And I cannot wait for my epidural.

This time tomorrow I’ll be on my way to the hospital to get this baby out!! I feel much less anxious about it after everyone’s reassurance yesterday so thank you I took 1/2 unisom last night to help me sleep since I have no been able to sleep at all lately and I slept fantastically!! Now I’ll be able to take full advantage of my last day with DD and do something special with her

Ugh I took 1/2 a unisom last night too but I think it just messed me up when DS came in to bed with me at 12:30 or so. Then I made him mad by taking him back to his own bed. Between my general inability to move, exacerbated by this sore rib muscle from coughing, I can barely get myself into an acceptable sleeping position, not to mention a solid little 2yo body. DH tried to help and take him but it didn't work, it was a night when only mama would do! It only took about 20 min or so to get him settled but it was enough to disrupt my sleep.
No news yet from my co-worker whose water broke at school yesterday. I'm hoping they are doing OK!

The baby slept all afternoon after his pedi appointment except for nursing so then he decided that between 2 and 4 am was party time. Much tired

I’m not getting in a deep sleep lately. I love a couple restful nights before labor!
There’s one doctor in my practice I don’t care for and today’s her day so I’m hoping baby stays put. I did wake up with awful lower back pain. Hoping for tomorrow or later!
I started the show Victoria bc the first seasons on prime. It takes a few eps and I’m partial to historical stuff but I really like it. I like it better than the Crown and I’m a fan of that show. I recommend if you like historical love stories. I won’t ruin it if you don’t know about her marriage. I did but definitely 🔥 ❤️.

I slept like crap again. I sat at my desk making my list of things we still need to get/get done and it’s overwhelming. I’m really hoping he decides to stay out until 39 weeks and not decide to come as soon as February hits.

I thought for sure I was going into labor last night. This baby is so active still even with the lack of room she has and was bouncing all over the place. It hurt! So to pass the time, I watched a bunch of those videos of Kelan Reacts. It’s that guy that watches cooking videos of random recipes and provides some hilarious commentary. I was dying laughing in the middle of the dark on the couch at 2am.
And now, I’m exhausted. 💤

MORE BABIES!! Can’t wait to see the ones expected today and whoever else decides to show up!!
We went to the baby shower at the school yesterday (for another couple). It was the first time we’ve had N in a public situation like that. My kids were so proud of her and protective! DD1 followed me by the knees everywhere I went holding N, and when I gave her to one of the teachers to hold DS looked up from what he was doing a couple times asking where she was. It just makes me so happy and relieved how much they love her!

Good luck today peachesncream and @aprilz21! Can't wait to see new squish pics! I had another NST this morning and baby boy looked good. I'm 36+2 today and feeling like 4 weeks left (or more) is a looooong time. I am still SO swollen and it is so uncomfortable- it's been over two weeks now of this swelling and it is starting to wear on me. They did mention the possibility of inducing next week or at 38 weeks though due to low fluid levels in the sac, but I am trying really hard to not get my hopes up for that and just assume that I still have at least 4 more weeks to go. Since we had to do IVF I am really trying to keep things in perspective and not take this pregnancy for granted- but at the same time I am ready for it to be over and to meet him!

DD had school today after taking last week off bc of Baby & she had a cold. She was exhausted when she came home haha. My mom mopped my floors while DD was gone & now she is taking a bunch of DDs old clothes & our massive exersaucer thing to Good Will. So this is my first time alone w both kids for a half hour haha. Right now I’m nursing DS & DD is listening to music in her room & reading books. I think I will cry when my mom leaves, she is so helpful & we just sit and talk for hours. MIL comes next week and I know that will not be the same haha.

DS1 and I have been playing in the house all day so far. I got the baby car seat cleaned and the insert put in, did laundry, finished packing my hospital bag. I got a new tiny Bluetooth earpiece for Christmas and it’s the best bc I can listen to podcasts while playing with DS and he has no clue lol. This afternoon I tutor and then go to barre to observe a teacher and then take a class. Baby keeps head butting my cervix, and it isn’t pleasant. I’m 38+3 and actually hoping to make it to close to 40.

We had a weight check today. She was born at 7lb2oz, was 6lb13oz last Tuesday, and was a whopping 7lbs7oz today. I’d say we’re gaining weight jusssst fine. Now if I can just get her to stretch her night feedings further apart...

We had another rough night over here. Does anyone have any experience with reflux? Just wondering if he has a bit of it. He will vomit up quite a bit if you don't burn e wry ounce or if he's lying too flat. His grunting is INSANE and it takes soooooo long to get him settled and back to sleep after night time feeds. He's currently sleeping in the mamaroo because flat on the back plus spitting up doesn't work. DS1 literally sttn starting at 3 weeks so I am feeling like a newb in regards to being sleep deprived. I literally had to tap out at 3am and get H to take him because I was so freaking exhausted

Just had ultrasound, baby has moved to be breech. Like her head is all up in my ribs. I'm 37w6d today. Thoughts? I'll check out the spinning babies website for exercises tonight. Any other ideas? Currently taking all suggestions... Haven't talked to doc yet, we'll see what he says too obviously.

Happy baby day to those being induced today (and tomorrow)! DS2 decided to party 1.5 hours MOTN. Outside of the time I was pumping I was useless to DH.
Starting reglan today so hopefully my supply increases.

DS1 had reflux. He would spit up and then fuss a lot. We put him on reflux meds and it helped. They don't stop them from spitting up but it makes it not painful anymore. We used the RNP for sleep so he would be at an incline.

maddisonrose DS was a prolific spitter. Making sure he ate slowly and thoroughly burping him helped a bit. Burping essentially made him spit up then rather than later when he was down. Honestly there wasn’t much I could do aside from go through a million burp clothes. He spat up for ages, longer than kids normally do. He was a “happy spitter” at first, meaning they aren’t experiencing pain from it. When he started screaming after every spit up his pedi put him on a liquid reflux med for a few weeks and that seemed to settle down the acid issue and he went back to happy spitter. As far as I know, there are no meds safe for reducing the amount and frequency.
