I saw it in HDBD and it does not. You'll really appreciate the short hair for new mom life. It's so nice to not have to always tie my hair out of the way. He was just being mean lol. His only request of me when it comes to my hair is to not have it cut above my ears, which is fine by me. I've actually had it this short before, and I love it. My hair is just so thick that when it gets long it starts pulling on my scalp, even when I don't have it tied up. Just a big change. I think she cut a good 6 inches off! The undercut life is even better. It saves me so much time when styling my thick, wavy hair.

I don't personally like the style (JMO), and when I'm working my hair is always up. She did cut the back very short though, up to my hairline. And she took SOOOO much weight out of my hair.

My exhaustion is reaching ridiculous levels. I had my hair appointment this morning, physio in the afternoon, I went to the dollar store, planted some pansies, and did some dishes. I'm worn out the same way that I normally would be if I had been running around all day at work. I know I'm going to be exhausted after F gets here, but it's a different kind of exhaustion.

Holy engorgement. I don't remember how long this lasts, is it okay to hand pump a little bit at this time it should I stick to just hand expression?

Waiting at my OB’s.
I am really hoping she stays put until Sunday evening. I don’t know. I think she will be early.

Hand or manual pump tends to be fine; electric pump people tend to overdo it. Heat helps the milk flow (so hand expression is easier in a warm shower, for instance) and cold helps inflammation. Hope it passes quickly!

FYI, Almost 38 weeks pregnant and a toddler with a stomach bug is a new curse to wish upon people you hate.

They don’t think so. I am having contractions but only fingertip dilated and no discharge or anything. I made it through DD’s class play.

I'm all prepared and ready for my c section next week. Swabs done, cervix checked (soft but still closed), last NST done, and little boy checked (sucking his thumb again). Just have to go for pre op bloodwork on Tuesday. I don't know how to feel right now.

Our baby came! I did all the things on Monday and Tuesday, but we had sex Tuesday night and i think that might've been what did it. Or, maybe just being 40w pregnant 😀.
I woke up around 1:30 with some cramping, and quickly realized it was contractions coming about 6 min apart. I woke up MH around 2 and we called our nanny to see if she would come over. Of course she didn't answer the 4 times we called her. By that time the contractions were more like 3-4 min apart so we called another friend who thankfully answered right away. Since my first came so fast we didn't want to wait too long, plus it was starting to feel more intense so I asked the friend to come over right away. He got to our house about 2:45 and by that point contractions were about 3 min apart and I was having to moan with them. We got to the hospital at about 3:00 and my husband joked with the admissions people that he'd be back down in 20 min. He was almost right!
We got up to L&D, and I was happy to see my favorite midwife was there. I changed into a gown and they tried to hook me up to the monitor but I was having to sway so I don't think it was catching all that much. They asked if my water had broke and I didn't know, but there were a few drips on the floor with a contraction so they thought maybe yes. The midwife checked me and I was 9-10 cm and 0 station. I told her I was feeling a lot of downward pressure with the contractions and asked if I could go with it and she said yes. I was standing facing the bed and she suggested I put a knee up on it to make more space. On the next contraction I felt the baby move down quite a lot and I told her it felt like baby was right there. She said she didn't see anything but it had probably moved down a lot. On the next contraction I felt the head coming so I gave a good push and the head came out still in the membranes! Then I pushed out the shoulders, the membranes broke and baby came out. There was a bit of an awkward moment when the midwife tried to hand her to me but the monitor and the gown were in the way but I got her up to my chest and then laid down with her. I did have a little tearing. Baby was perfect, apgar score was 9 at 1 min. She was born at 3:26.
She latched on pretty quickly and pretty much wanted to nurse every hour the first day. She was definitely more fussy and awake than my first. We stayed in the hospital one night and came home yesterday. Now we're just settling in as a family of four. So far H has mostly been taking care of the toddler and I'm enjoying laying under a sleeping baby. 😍

My grandma from out of state is here and she's staying a couple of nights to help out around the house. It's really nice to have someone around to hold the baby when she doesn't want let down and I can get a few things done.
I even scheduled a hair appointment for this afternoon. But I'm bummed because when I got there, they had only booked me for a cut, not a color. The person booking it never asked what I wanted when I booked, but I'd been there before so I assumed they knew that I always did a cut and color. Oh well. At least the cut looks cute!

How frustrating! At least you got a cut but still!
