I thought I'd go this week but after yesterday's checkup I'm not sure. I won't go later than the 19th, though. My trivia team wants to do a special Star Wars trivia night on Monday. I know as soon as we get tickets, I'll go into labor

I had my 37 week appointment today and an NST. Two more NSTs next week, an appointment Wednesday, and scheduled induction for Thursday morning if the girls aren’t here yet! I’m still hoping they come on their own, but glad there’s a date set for induction if not.

I could not find nursing bras that fit. Took a gamble on a 6 for $39.99 deal on Groupon. They are perfect!

I vetoed dh sleeping at his parents tonight Our cluster feeding was last night. Tonight E has been a lot calmer and a lot more mellow. Last night he had a lot of junk he was spitting up and that made him miserable. I'm feeling my pain the most right now. I made the mistake of not taking an afternoon dose of my meds and boy am I paying for it. Hopefully your headache doesn't last too long.

My nipples are starting to feel it. He has days and nights mixed up. I got Motrin and percoset this last dose and I think it’s fihakky helping the headache. I forgot how much the incision burns when you first start walking. I got nauseous due to the pain. Thought I was doing so much better than last time

Sorry for all the cluster feeding LOs and sore nipples!
Today I found out DH will be home Saturday afternoon so only 2 more days of this baby having to stay in! Never did I think I’d be begging her to stay in at this point!

ldubhawksfan - in addition to taking the Percocet and Ibuprofen on a schedule (I think I was still taking two tabs the second day for Percocet and only stepped down to one comfortably our last day in the hospital) - I highly recommend icing your incision. Having an ice pack on it after moving around made this feel a lot more comfortable.

I'm currently raging at my husband. I'm exhausted and this baby keeps grunting and is uncomfortable and instead of rocking her, which he is perfectly capable of doing, he says she's fine and rolls over and goes back to bed.
No, she's not fine, and only I can feed her when she inevitably wakes up next, so I really fucking resent that he's not taking the part he CAN do right now so that I can get some fucking sleep. 😡😡😡
And now he's up to use the bathroom and asked if she's rocking or nursing. So maybe he'll actually take over? Not holding my breath. Lack of sleep makes me so angry.

I got a "please let me know what and when you want me to do." 😡 what I wanted was for him to take over a half hour ago. It's now been an hour since she started eating which means she's going to be up and wanting to eat again in 30-60 min, so I'm going to get zero sleep this cycle. UGH!

I'm sorry your DH isn't being helpful. It's so hard when your tired and stressed and it feels like your DH is completely oblivious of what needs to be done. I really think sometimes they think we are invincible because we take on so much as moms. I know I need to be a lot better about voicing what I need to my DH. I always get mad at him because he's not a mind reader. Next time, tell your DH to rock DD so you can get a little rest.

I know he's tired too and I should give him a little bit of grace. I just get SO angry when I'm tired. Though, on the plus side, maybe my hormones are calming down since I'm having my normal angry reaction instead of being a weepy mess? You're right though - I'm usually pretty good at telling him what I need and instead of fuming, should have just handed him the baby and traded places even if it would just be for 30 min.

Our forecast just changed and we're supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow tonight... so that basically guarantees I'm going in to labor tonight, doesn't it? Two days ago it was barely flurries. My family in New England is supposed to get like 6 inches. SIL says my mom is freaking out, I'm surprised I haven't gotten a call yet.
On the plus side, I'm finally telecommuting and not going in to the office anymore. It was weird leaving yesterday, but at the same time I was so done lol.

I was so happy with the nurse who suggested it - provided me a lot of relief.

officedronette DS grunts and makes sounds all night is his sleep. DD did too. My policy was to keep one earplug in so it helps to keep the low level grunting quiet, but I can hear his real cries. Newborns are so loud.

I’m hoping that doesn’t send me into labor! I’m really wanting her to stay in until DHs plane lands at 430...and hopefully the snow doesn’t delay him either 🙏🤞
