We have SO MUCH FOOD. First world problems and definitely a nice problem to have with a newborn. We’ve had friends bring meals (3 separate pans of lasagna haha) and now my mom is here and she is a phenomenal cook so fresh cooked meals every night. H jokes that he’s going to gain 50 lb in the 2 weeks she’s here. And I thought breastfeeding was supposed to make you hungry? I hardly have an appetite, which I’m attributing to being the laziest human alive these past few weeks.

I just got a call from my OB while at work saying that the final results for my ultrasound two weeks ago are in and there is a vericous in the umbilical vein. I am headed to the hospital now for fetal monitoring but will likely be induced Friday now.

Baby is fine but it will be Friday. I am 3 cm dilated already which is good. I was worried I wouldn't be anything.

Still here. Still pregnant. I did start to lose my mucus plug I think (ugh so gross, that never happened w/ Em). And I had some contractions overnight but nothing that lasted. I felt so confident yesterday it was imminent but nope. Between the contractions, pregnosomnia and Em having a bad dream, I slept like craaaaaaaap last night. And Em's preschool is closed today so I have to entertain a 2.5yo and work all day. Super fun. This happened after my first membrane strip. I lost so much mucus I couldn't believe that more was still coming out because I had lost a huge chunk of it the week prior. My water broke two days after the last membrane strip I had done so fx it's baby time for you soon!

Sorry for the scare @starbuck84 but yay for baby soon. Will they monitor you until Friday or just today? And that is a great place to start at for induction. I hope everything goes smoothly on Friday.

I hope everything goes smoothly on Friday. No they said everything looked fine with the baby so they don't need to monitor anymore. He just needs to come out just in case and since I am 37w today there is no reason to wait much longer. Unfortunately my OB is away for spring break but it will likely be the OB that delivered my DS (she wasn't my doctor at the time but the OB on call) so I at least have some experience with her.

Would be nice to have in a few weeks when people stop bringing stuff.

mattsgirl2004 sorry about the pain from the injections but i’m glad you are finally getting some relief. hoping that surgery will do the trick for you! calendula fx that baby gets a move on! woodenshoes im sorry about your dad i will be thinking about you and your family after tuesday’s horrible night, dd2 gave me a 5 hr stretch then a 2.5 hr stretch so i got about 6 hrs of sleep last night...i feel so much better. i need to figure out how to deal with no sleep a little better. the appointment went well yesterday - she slept through being cathed and the u/s. the dr still needs to review the u/s results, but it looks like the cyst is shrinking (!!) which means it will most likely just resolve on it’s own and no surgery will be necessary. i’m so grateful, but i feel like this whole thing has caused so much unnecessary stress at this point.

We actually got decent sleep last night but I'm so much more tired for some reason.
Baby starts off the night being super uncomfortable and gassy it seems. We sit her up and rub and pat her back to get her to burp but that doesn't help. I'm not sure what else to do to help her.

I'm making nutella stuffed double chocolate chip muffins and craving pizza and ice cream cake. I'm going to gain 20 more lbs if this baby doesn't come soon.

polson that is great news. Sorry for the stress it caused. cp3 DS2 also seems to have a lot of gas at night, which has made sleeping difficult. Once he gets over it we get a couple 3ish hour stretches.

Oh my gosh. Do not wear nipple shells out of the house if you are prone to leaking. I just poured so much milk on myself in a public bathroom because I did not realize how much the stupid shell had filled up. Luckily I had already planned on swapping them out for pads because they were getting uncomfortable and I had my shirt pulled up when I leaned forward. So it really just soaked my bra. SO MUCH MILK.

Can you get those milk savers you stick in your bra? I’ve heard they’re pretty comfortable and it would be nice to save a few ounces here and there!
