Rama sorry that your baby is being uncooperative. My NST took longer today but it was due to my BP. The baby did great. My lab work looks good so it looks I get one more week. I have so much laundry and prepping to do. It looks like it it is going to be a busy week.

I will take all the recommendations! Do you have one for prefolds? I have just some random ones from freebies, but I haven't stocked yet. Any feels between Gerber and Osocozy and all those other guys? I've only ever tried Osocozy and Grovia bamboo prefolds. In terms of absorbency, both are great! The Grovia ones are a LOT trimmer so I liked that about them. I bought the "better fit" Osocozy ones, so they're a bit shorter in the length and are designed to simply be folded in thirds and laid in the cover (as opposed to folded up around baby and pinned). They always worked perfectly fine for me, but DS was exclusively formula fed and his poops were likely never quite as runny as a breastfed baby's. I've heard that some of the fancier folds + pinning works better for babies with runny poops. They are?? I have been pinning the better fit newborn ones on DD. I have even been doing the bikini twist... Is she just teeny? They fit her perfectly right now. I don't remember reading anywhere they were not meant to be folded.

So tomorrow is DS's 100th day of school and today he came home with a homework assignment to fill a ziplock bag (provided) with 100 of something. By tomorrow. Preferably not things that roll because they will be using them for math class tomorrow. Tomorrow. I'm standing in my kitchen at 5:30 freaking because we literally have 100 of nothing. I don't have enough cereal or pasta or beans and DH was working late so I couldn't send him out to the store. Fortunately my son is a problem solver and found 100 small rocks in the backyard. Hope you like gravel, teacher! The calendula household at its finest these days. I mean, the night before? They should give you at least a week to find something. I have no idea what we would have 100 of here.

H found a bag of halloween candy on the top shelf in the back of the cupboard with about 12 fun size bags of M&Ms. M&Ms were sent, sorry teacher.

Rama Hope you get to head home soon, and of course that baby stays safe and cozy in there for awhile longer! Huh. My Group B strep results got posted to my online patient portal just now and it looks like I'm negative this go-around. I just assumed that since I was positive with DS, I'd always test positive? Not that I mind. I had to remind the nurses to do the second round of antibiotics when I was in labor 🙄

They're gonna fit every baby differently.

katietopaz I thought the opposite- since I was treated for it last time, I thought chances were better I’d be negative (I am). My understanding is once you’re positive it can still be in your system after treatment but basically have “flair ups”.

Yes I think it is always in your gut but just randomly travels to your vagina sometimes. Like it comes and goes and is nbd until you're delivering a baby.

I mean, Iggy is doing great. Passed the BPP with flying colors and we're just waiting to be told we can go. I am so goddamn hungry. I haven't eaten in over three hours and the nurse can't get ahold of the OB to ask if I can have anything.
Something tells me this is bullshit when I have GD.

I’m done. I’ve felt so large and awkward the last couple days. Add that to being exhausted and.... this baby better come quick or I’m gonna hold a grudge. I’ve told H the last week or so how warm I get when sleeping and that’s why I haven’t been turning the heater on in our room. Well last night he decides he’s “freezing”, gets up to put extra clothes on and turns the fan on. Meanwhile I’m woken up, sweating and then can’t fall back asleep because it’s so warm. So... down to the couch I go. Then the dog was whining to go outside. I’m gonna need another nap. Oh man. I can only sleep with a fan on. Even in -30. I hope you got that nap in

I’m in that weird place of being freaked right out about having a baby and also get this baby out of me. I’m only 31 weeks. I know I’ll be fine but I feel ill equipped to have a newborn, like I’ve forgotten everything. I want baby out but I don’t want the newborn schedule at the same time lol. I’ve been googling “how to breastfeed” because I swear I have forgotten everything. Every. Thing.

I've been so uncomfortable the past couple of days. The worst is the rib pain on my left side, I just cannot get myself into a position that relieves it. 6 more weeks feels like an eternity to me today. This morning my mom brought over some of the newborn clothes that I wore, and I loved all of them! I have all the newborn and 0-3 month clothes washed and stacked in the dresser, and all of my newborn diapers are washed and ready to go. My mom brought me old newborn clothes as well!! I am super bummed she didn't get things to me sooner (she said that was originally her plan) because I would have loved to bring baby girl home in my coming home outfit!! A lot of the outfits she brought were things she wore as a baby too. So cool. Wow, that's so cool that she had stuff from when she was a baby! My mom didn't remember which outfit I wore coming home or I might have changed my plan. There is the most adorable knitted newborn sweater, though, so if it's a chilly day I'll put that over the sleeper I have planned.

Remember to start a thread if you need to, yo. Oh you bet your ass as long as my phone still has power, my labor is gonna be liveblogged. Absolutely. I wouldn't hold my breath for today, though. Live blogs of labours are my actual favourite thing ever. Totally here for it!

I mean, it's not that they can't or shouldn't be folded! just that that the lack of excess length makes them better suited to padfolding than their longer counterparts. I never even tried to pin them on DS because they worked fine padfolded, but he was also a big baby and I used the newborn size ones way past the actual newborn phase.

Rama, I'm glad that Iggy is doing good and I hope you can leave soon. I'd be kinda annoyed at that nurse...surely there must be at least one OB in the hospital that can look at your chart really quick and determine if you can eat. woodenshoes, I hope your blood work comes back ok. Yay for getting to meet your baby soon though!

whatsit, I feel bad for my poor husband because he's so cold at night lol. We set our heat at 17 at night and we have the coolest room in the house, so on really cold nights our room is 12 degrees by morning. He's got a pile of blankets on his side and meanwhile I'm sleeping with one blanket and my arms and chest completely bare 😂

The heater and cold spouse conversation is making me laugh because I have always been the one that's freeeezing and turns the heater up while DH says it's hot. Except in bed. Do not get cold sleeping with a 5'8" heater.
Then about when I hit 7 months pregnant I became unreasonable about any heat and DH is 😳. It feels so strange.
