I did a side by side of DD1 (left) and DD2s 1 month pictures: DD1 had hip dysplasia and had just gotten her brace on so was pissed. We are actually getting an ultrasound of DD2s hips next week to make sure she doesn’t have it because it can be genetic. There is no indication of it but they just want to make sure.

Good morning! I am waiting to get G’s shoes on because the bus picks her up soon. Of course if the baby follows the same pattern he has been for the past few days, he will take a bottle every 2 hours for the first half of the day. This means he will want one right as we go to the bus. 🙄I am hoping he either starts fussing for it now, or waits until G is gone. No big plans for today. Just some cleaning and hanging out at home.

Good morning everyone! Today is my first full day alone with both kiddos 😱 MH left super early this morning and likely won’t be home till after dinner. I got DD1 ready and out the door... SIL took her for a play date this morning at church and she should be back around 1030. So at least I have some sort of break!

Question... my cramping while nursing is pretty much gone. But now the past 2-3 mornings I’ve been waking up with borderline severe cramping, but it feels different. Yesterday it was my right lower quadrant, and felt like my ovary was going to burst but also like a gas bubble was lodged in there. I took Tylenol and curled in the fetal position and it eventually went away. I was convinced it was appendicitis until the pain went away. And i was fine the rest of the day. Today, same thing happened but on my left side.
I’m thinking this is normal? With my uterus still trying to go down and with my intestines trying to work themselves back to where they belong, after being squished and displaced for however many weeks/months. Has this happened to anyone else? I’m not sure if I should call my dr or not.

amesie I had a ton of cramping for a long time afterwards. I think you are fine since it went away.

So I'm t- 2 days left of work after today. I'm finally feeling good about leaving and not stressed!
And I'm WFH today... By myself. I'm so happy. This is probably the last day I'll have to myself like this for... Many months. So I'm baking. And doing homework. And wash. But most importantly , enjoying the peace and quiet!!!!!!!!!

I took this one on Monday to see just how much I had dropped bc it felt like a lot. I can feel a ton of weight on my hips so I'm sure she's dropped a bit more. And just for fun, DD1 and I got matching Toms for the spring 😍 she was so excited!

amesie honestly that sounds like it could be normal. I had a similar episode when we were TTC DD1 and my dr assumed it was just something weird going on with my ovaries.

DD is now 8 weeks old (38.1 adjusted). She's been having tonnes of gas, and been really fussy with it at night. She seems to be constantly straining to poop during her whole feed, so it's taking her at least 45mins to finish a 2.5 oz bottle. We're taking her to the pediatric chiropractor that we used for DS when he was having the same type of issues, but unfortunately we can't get an appointment until Monday afternoon

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.

Happy Hump Day and hopefully my last one with an inside baby 🤞🏻 I am 39+2 today and have an appt tomorrow. Induction is scheduled for Monday if baby doesn’t come on her own. If my body still hasn’t made any progress, I’ll likely change the date and hope that my body starts to do something. I’m feeling some extra pressure down below today so I’m hoping that means something. I’m not getting too excited. Still no contractions. She’s just cozy in there! And, I thought I’d share one of DD this week. She got a bike helmet for Christmas and we found it while cleaning the garage over the weekend. Naturally, she’s been wearing it daily after she gets home from school.

pinkcat, you look great! I know how uncomfortable swelling can be. I had it bad with my first pregnancy. My face blew up like a balloon in addition to my legs and my skin felt like it was going to break open at any moment. Hang in there!

Thank you sunfrogger and mrsp84 ! And ouch mrsp- that sounds so painful! Sorry you had it too. Glad to hear it doesn't always mean you'll get it in 2nd pregnancies though!

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!!

I had a lot of swelling with my DD1... not nearly as bad as you’re describing! But with DD2, I didn’t have any swelling whatsoever.

I’m also such a sucker for baby clothes I’m in a bunch but I think the best is Mini Boden and Hanna Andersson BST on Facebook. Every Friday they have “boutique Friday” so people can post all brands and I seem to get the best deals then.
