I went to L&D today to get my labs drawn and do some blood pressure monitoring before my RCS on Tuesday morning. I was hoping the babies would arrive today, but it seems they are set on their eviction day. Either way, I've got less than 2 days to go so the end is in sight! Tomorrow is your last full day as a family of three! I know!!! =D Of course Idris pushed the envelope by taking 2.5 hours to fall asleep tonight. He knows what's coming.

Guyssssss, I had ONE really painful contraction today! Lol.... it made me equal parts excited and unexcited, haha. Bc holy cow that hurt, but also I totally can tell the difference and maybe one day I'll get more than one 😂 I hadn't had a really painful one - like this painful- ever- but some sort of painful ones in a few days. This was a whole nother level of pain! Maybe tomorrow I will have two....
Can you tell I want this kiddo out??

I swear if one more person asks me if we really don't have a name yet or if we're just keeping it a secret I'm going to scream. If I wanted to keep it a secret I'd just say that, I don't need to lie about it. I really don't fricking know what her name is going to be! I've been asked this by like 5 different people this week. It's stressing me out.

addymac, it's so annoying! I was at a party yesterday and one of my friends asked me this. I told her we really don't have one yet. She then pulled up baby names on her phone and was reading suggestions to me. I was like yeah, we've pretty much read all the lists you get from a Google search at this point and obviously haven't found one we're set on but she insisted on reading me the ones she liked and giving her opinions. Um, I'm not going to pick the name right here with you reading me names from your phone.

My ob said results this weekend but I doubt I'll find out till Monday unless they come in online. *Lurker/2 time ICP mom* How's the itching? Have you heard back about your lab results yet? Sending lots of positive thoughts your way! I think it's okay. My doctor hasn't called me which is a good sign and I have an appt Thursday. I can see the test results and bile acid is 10.2 which it says is within the range (although some sites said 9). My liver function numbers are normal except my alkaline phosphatase was two points over the normal range. I still worry about my levels shooting up, but I'll be induced next Tuesday anyway for high blood pressure.

My liver function numbers are normal except my alkaline phosphatase was two points over the normal range. I still worry about my levels shooting up, but I'll be induced next Tuesday anyway for high blood pressure. It's normal for alkaline phosphatase to be elevated during pregnancy, due to it being produced by the placenta, so that's not concerining. As for the bile acids, depending on the lab that runs them, 10.2 is either just enough to be diagnostic or is still within the normal range. Were yours run through LabCorp? Their reference range cutoff for pregnancy is 14.5. If you didn't have the induction already scheduled, I'd push for a retest this week if I were in your shoes. But it wouldn't really move your delivery timeline up if you tested again, so probably not worth the hassle at this point. I was confused but after you said that, I'm thinking it must be run through LabCorp because it says "pregnant female reference range 3.7 to 14.5". That makes more sense. So it should be okay then, I think.

Can I just rant here a second? My mom and her bf are in town and omg she is driving me nuts. I hate it because she's trying to be helpful, but won't relax. It sucks because they are both heavy smokers and are in and out all day long, when it's over 100* and we can't seem to keep the house cool. Plus the smell. She wants to hold the baby, but I'm trying to nicely sidestep it.
And then I just feel guilty because I haven't seen her in almost 2 years, it's her only grandchild and I need to let them bond. Plus PP emotions and hormones are raging.

@eaailyunamused, ugh, I'm sorry. That's tough. I honestly have thought so much about how I will handle these type of situations when baby comes because I feel so awkward having to make rules for people who want to hold the baby. Not exactly the same but I definitely want people to wash their hands before holding baby and I don't want it to come across as rude when I ask (and I casually mentioned it to my mom the other day and she said she would be insulted if I told her to wash her hands before holding the baby... whatever). I would definitely not be comfortable with someone holding my baby when they smell strongly of smoke. Sounds like you have a kind of strained relationship, but could you maybe tell her your concerned about the smoke smell around the new baby?

She'll get defensive and it'll be a bad visit. So I just try to limit the time the baby is around her. I think she gets it a little, how could you not?

@easilyunamused I'm sorry, that sounds awkward and just not fun. Trying to talk to our parents about anything that goes against their usual is like 57 times harder than with the average person, IMO. I'm sure I'll be having awkward convos with mine soon, too.
