I had some solid, time-able contractions for a good hour but they seem to have tapered off. I guess I will shower and go to bed and hope to wake up in labor.

MH put a fan where it would blow over us while we're sleeping. I think the cool air on my skin helped to keep the itchiness down because I actually got a half decent sleep last night.

We're having supper with our best friends tonight and "officially" asking them to be godparents. My MIL let it slip that we were going to ask them, so we had to ask them unofficially, but that gave us room to do something kind of cute :-)   |

Still pregnant over here. I was feeling a little crampy last night and had what I thought was maybe a contraction, but who really knows? I think I've lost a couple little pieces of my mucous plug too, but again, who really knows? I've been pretty exhausted the last two days, and H was nice enough to let me nap this afternoon. But he does this thing where whenever I'm a little sick or tired, he is also "so tired" or so sick, and it's really getting on my nerves right now. Buddy, you don't also get to be exhausted like a 39.5 weeks pregnant lady, you just had a normal day where you co-parented a child. Sorry.

I even had him stay home while I was in the hospital so that he could get rest. When I came home from the hospital, all I heard was how tired he was a how his feet hurt. Meanwhile, I was in excruciating pain from a CS and up around the clock BF and pumping. No sympathy from me! |

Maternity pictures done this morning. Talk about last minute lol. And of course it was cold, windy, and raining on and off. Oh well, hopefully they come out good :-)

I bitched on FB about still being pregnant last night and a friend swears a foot reflexology massage from this acupressure place put her into labor with her first. So I’m getting one today. I figure at the worst I get my feet rubbed for a while.

I'm regretting not having the c-section for Monday at 39 weeks. Those extra three days feel like forever at this point. robot, I hope that foot rub works for you. I love hearing all the old wives' tales about how to jump start labor. On my previous BMBs there were always a ton of people doing the raspberry leaf tea, and primrose oil, pineapple, eggplant, etc. Is no one else here doing those or has it just not come up in discussion? |

I did EPO last time but my water broke prematurely and I read that was the only possible side effect. Maybe they weren’t connected but I’m skipping it this time.

I did most of those a month ago when I was due. We had some discussions about it then. |

This is random. I had heard great things about the baby k’tan but thought I couldn’t use it because I’m so large (plus size plus a chest that requires specialty boutique bras.). But I tried a XL and it actually fits well!!! I love it because it’s qyicker to use and more breathable than the moby but the carry is the same and just as comforting and comfortable for us both!!!

That’s awesome! I have the Solly wrap and LOVE it! It wears a lot like the K’tan so nice and easy when they are so little |

We found out Gemma has Acid Reflux they started her on meds on Friday and it’s helped a lot! Poor baby was so miserable
Also life with 2 has proven to keep me pretty busy lol I feel like I’m constantly going going going.

Glad it works for you! Love the k’tan. I always tell people to go down a size since it’s so stretchy. |

Ugh. I felt so good and I was taking it easy for the most part. Apparently I over did it yesterday, even though I barely did anything. So between that and being tied to an outlet for the Bili Blanket im really quite frustrated and anxious.

Give yourself some time, you had a baby less than a week ago 🙂 |

I might have lost it if she wasn't gone during the day. |
