dashook We have two Coscos in my mom’s car bc she watches my kids one or two days a week. She drives a Tucson but Idk If 3 seats would fit. We also have a Diono we could use-not sure if that’s more narrow than the Cosco. 🤔 Off to google...

CharlieB so happy that you’re at home and enjoying all the baby snuggles! ❤️ I was having some contractions last night but as soon as I went to bed nothing again! Looks like we will be heading to the hospital right after the super bowl for my induction. Now to try to rest and relax today and not freak out all day! 😬 Enjoy the quiet while you can! I don't rest well when I'm anticipating something so good luck with that lol

Today just doesn't seem like a perfect day for a shower. Slept awful last night and even though H took care of the kids so I could sleep, I'm still not feeling 100%. I think there must be a pressure system or something moving in. My ears keep plugging up and my head and throat feel off and of course, I'm tired. A feels so low that she could just shove a hand out of me everytime she moves down there. And so much pressure in my butt, sitting feels awkward.
Not to mention, my MIL went to Sam's Club to pick up the party trays my parents ordered for today and she was told there was no record of an order for us and that they don't even make those trays anymore. Like, excuse me? I was right next to my dad when the lady took his order for it the other night. So my dad is livid and went to go have a heart to heart with one of the managers about it. Luckily, MIL decided to just grab a cold cut tray and rolls just in case but what the hell, Sam's? So bizarre.

I hope they can fix it and put something together for you on the fly! So I guess they don't get the kits to make them anymore? Idk. MIL said they comped the fruit tray she bought and when my dad talked to them, they offered a fruit tray, too, but he turned them down and got a sandwich tray from Costco instead.

Good luck with induction strawberrykiki! With your symptoms it will hopefully be easy to jump start for you! ❤️ You got this, so excited for you to meet your little boy! 💙💙💙 And remember, as soon as the placenta is out you are GOLDEN to eat whatever you want. 😉 I'm planning to make DH stop at the store on the way to the hospital for muffins and a few other things I've been craving but can't have just so I have food IMMEDIATELY available. Perk of induction, no rush to the hospital so you could stop for anticipatory goodies too!

Good luck strawberrykiki! I also ended up with an induction after sitting at 1cm and 50% effaced for about 5 days, with contractions every day. I hope it goes smoothly!

Well, just when we thoughts that things were on the upswing...B was pretty lethargic all day and wouldn’t wake up to eat for longer than a few sucks at a time. And the kid looks like a tiny Oompa Loompa...jaundice. His bilirubin was fine on Friday, but it must have built up over the last couple of days. We’re being admitted so that he can hang out under the bili lights for a day or so. 👎 My poor husband just left to attempt to pack an overnight bag with my pads, pump, pajamas, colace, etc.

CharlieB oh no! I hope his levels come back down soon so y’all don’t have to stay too long. Sometimes they’re able to send a bili blanket home with you, do you know if that’s a possibility? Hugs lady.

CharlieB, That sucks you are having to be readmitted. Hopefully, things get back to a good level soon and you can get home. I'm so tired this morning. I slacked on getting work ready this morning so I laid back down for an extra almost 15 minutes. I had contractions last night that I couldn't sleep through and it really put a dent in my sleeping hours.

I’m in the hospital now. I was having too many contractions for them to put the miso in when I got here so I had to have an IV and chill until they calmed down enough for the first dose. They’re going to check me again in an hour or two and see how it looks. Fingers crossed. They said it could take awhile 😱

Happy induction day, strawberrykiki! cch I’ll definitely ask! I would rather not have to come back if his levels go up again. ETA unless we have to, of course...but if home treatment is a possibility, that would be easier for everyone. B’s bilirubin went from 19 last night to 15.6 this morning, so hopefully it won’t be too much longer. We have to be below 14 to discharge. His awake times are still really brief, but he already seems a little perkier. This child is certainly keeping me on my toes.

strawberrykiki, I hope your induction doesn't take too long. I'm such an impatient person, I'm thankful I haven't had long waits for my kiddos. But you never know, this one could decide to take her time.
