Dry skin on newborns... put lotion on it or leave it alone? Personally, I leave it alone. +1 unless it's really really bad

I loooove all the pictures of the new squishes! SO cute!!! I had an appointment and ultrasound today. I am 37+4, last week I was 0 cm dilated and this week she said I am 3-4 cm and 50% effaced. I am trying so hard to not get my hopes up because I know that you can be 3-4 cm dilated for weeks, and as a FTM I am trying to just plan on going late. But she said that she thought she'd see me this weekend so it's realllly hard to not get too excited! She also wrote me a note to WFH the rest of the pregnancy because my swelling is still so, so bad. She said I win the award for worst swelling she has seen- I said I would rather be in last place for this award! My swelling is all the way up to my knees now and it's so uncomfortable. ahhh! So close! My dr said 0-3 isn’t active labor, but anything after that they’d consider you in active labor (with contractions too obv). My nurse also said it’s the hardest getting to 3cm and once you get past that 3cm hump, you usually cruise the rest of the way to 10. So that’s awesome that your body has already done most of the hard work!! When I was admitted last pregnancy (my water had broken but I had felt zero contractions so far), I was already at 4cm. Which was awesome. I went from 4 to 10 within a handful of hours. So FX your body does that for you too pinkcat! Sorry about the terrible swelling. Glad you get to WFH.

benandjerrys we have the same monkey sleeper your DS is wearing. Unfortunately, he grew out of them already. so far baby and I are still healthy. DS2 is able to keep his Tamiflu down while DS1 vomits his up so we are quitting that (even though he tested positive). Vomiting bothers him a lot more than his current influenza symptoms. I'm so tired of sleeping on the couch... I need my house healthy *sprays Lysol on everything*

Bump pic from last weekend! I'm timing contractions!!! I'm in denial that this is the real thing but they have started being consistent enough that I decided to keep track of them. TMI ALERT I also had diarrhea a bit ago and that happened in early labor with DS1.

easternshoregirl I'm sorry the version didn't work. I am glad your midwife is supportive of trying other things, maybe something could still work. No harm in trying.

I'm taking a break waiting for DD1 & MH to get home. I folded wash and folded and washed towels, vacuumed the family room, and made a LOT of good progress clearing things from the nursery.
MH is going to paint by the end of the weekend. Squeeee
I have to.. Put wash away.. Do dishes.. Take a shower.. And finish my week 4 homework tonight. We have friends coming over for pizza and while I bought everything to make it all... I'm debating on telling mh to order bc I'm exhausted and slightly concerned it won't be enough pizza!

pinkcat that is some serious progression for not being in labor yet! I’d tell your H to keep his phone charged and by him at all times. So glad you get to WFH!

easternshoregirl I’m sorry it didn’t work. FWIW, you still have time and planned C sections are much different than unplanned. Many people on this board choose to have a second C section because their first experience was not a bad one.

I am afraid to get my hopes up- since I haven't felt much that I'm "positive" is a contraction I am worried that maybe she just over estimated how dilated I am? But, in either case I am very happy that after Friday I will get to work from home until delivery! Hope things are going well with you and your new little one!

So many gorge pictures today on the board Queen Mamadala and sweetsurprise and basically everyone else! I got my professional shots back from the hospital so hopefully I’ll get my act together and post my birth story tonight. We had such a rough Monday night into all day Tuesday but she has bounced back beautifully. Today and yesterday could not be any more different 🤞she keeps this up. I was able to tie up a lot of loose ends at work today while she basically just ate and slept. H went back to work today but our Nanny was here for the older boys and it was awesome! amesie hope today is going well!

Even if she’s over by a cm you are in good position! Even if you still have a week it’s very good that you aren’t starting from zero. He will be here soon enough!

pinkcat Also, just for anecdotal reference, I had an OB appointment and was 0 cm dilated. Less than 48 hrs later baby was out of me. So...yes you could be awhile, or it could be tomorrow. 😉

When you are holding your baby and they are sleeping, anyone else instinctively close their own eyes if the baby starts fluttering their eyes?
I do this every time like if my eyes are closed, she will think I’m sleeping and she will sleep too. It doesn’t work but I can’t stop doing it!

And if we make accidental eye contact I immediately close them and pray to god this doesn't disrupt the progress 😂

All of these babies 😍😍😍 and mommas too!
We had a pretty good day, it's crazy how much more alert and awake little man is becoming during the day (also during the night 🙄). Today he was awake for close to 3 hours just chillin out in his swing looking around which seems really long but he was really content and then just went to sleep.
I took him to get weighed yesterday and he is up two pounds since we left the hospital! Despite his reflux vomiting he's doing so well so I'm a happy momma. Keeping all of my appendages crossed he grows out of the puking asap

I forget which thread or which day it was but thank you to whoever mentioned the Fisher Price Smart Connect app!! I have the smart RNP but had let someone borrow it and got it back before DD3 came. I totally forgot about the app, DH installed it tonight and had a lot of fun with it 😂😂 total gamechanger!
