Peeking in to wave. I'm never around much on weekends and yesterday was OH's bday as well so I was distracted. Didn't do anything big this year though, kept it nice and simple...

No induction! Woot! My OBGYN didn't agree with it when they discussed my case this morning before seeing patients. I have an appointment on Friday to monitor everything if baby hasn't already come but if nothing is out of the ordinary, they will give us the full 42 weeks.

I hope everyone is doing well! HHenderson, I hope your day gets better

Celtic, quiet with 3 littles ones huh? I guess you figured it out then! Maybe there is something about having more! Hehe I'm teasing, I couldn't have that many in this country, there'd be nowhere to put them. Plus, OH is not so young, I'd have to be pregnant like twice a year to make it work, which obviously doesn't... Hope you are enjoying yourself!

As if things couldnt get worse. Went to purchase a bassinet online this morning, they were saying my card security code was wrong and it WAS NOT so we went to 3 different stores today and a consignment shop. NOTHING!! Ahhhh so I made a new account online with the same damn card information and went to order the bassinet and the shipping inside of a few hours changed from Aug 22 to Aug 27th! ARE YOU FUC*ING SERIOUS!? Now Im screwed. My laptop started dying when to plug it in and the charger is broke, out of no where seriously! My cell phone battery two weeks ago decided it wants to stay charged for only 4 hours at a time. I am seriously freaking out. Cried for awhile this morning because I cant shake the feeling being fat and asthmatic that on Thursday Im going to die and am not sure if I should write my 8 year old a letter telling her how much I love her.

I just want today to be over with and find $500 on the ground.

Also been having a really weird back pain in one small spot but it feels like a needle was in there. Its worrying me. Shit what would put today over the top if I went into labor and needed an emcs.

 

[Barhanita]

Henderson, I am sorry for such a bad day. I hope it gets better very soon.

 

[onebumpplease]

hhenderson. Hope tomorrow is the complete opposite kind of day!

[Sooz]

HH I hope you get it sorted, not what you need right now.

Celtic we had Mason's newborn shoot done today. I can't wait to get the proofs back, he was awake throughout so loads of eye shots!

 

[CelticNiamh]

Lots of contractions tonight

 

[JolleyGirl86]

Ahh I hate my phone I just tried posting my long reply to everyone's post and it wouldn't post cause I lost connection and it erased the whole thing!
I can't remember everyone I replied to now!

Hhenderson hope you feel better and have a good day tomorrow

Celtic glad your having a good day with your kids how exciting that your sis is having a girl!

Sooz sounds like the pictures are going to turn out beautiful

Babyhopes hope those cramps mean business!

My left nipple is split and hurts so bad! I have been putting lanolin on it trying to get it to heal but it's taking forever. Any suggestions on how to make it heal quicker?

 

[Scottish]

Celtic congrats to your sister on her girl! Glad all is well

Sooz can't wait to see pics! Glad it went well xx

Baby hopes good luck hope it's the beginning for you

Hhenderson I really hope tomorrow is a better day for you xxx

Afm I am having an extremely hard time bf! Hama just wants fed all the time! He literally wants more 5 mins after each feed and doesn't sleep more than 1 hour during the day. I have been almost stuck to the couch for near 2 weeks and I am not getting anything done . I am at the end of my tether I don't know what to do. Every day I think I will persevere as it will get easier but it just doesn't seem to I give him a bottle of formula at night and tonight he drank 4oz! That was even after been fed from me 45 mins before. He's still awake now but shokd settle soon and give me couple of hours sleep. I don't want to give up bf at all but Iam worried my milk supply is rubbish which us why he feeds constant. I even express and today got 3 oz altogether. Anyone else really struggling with similar? Xxx

 

[HHenderson]

Thanks ladies. No child tomorrow, husband will be at work. I will take tons of naps! Lol Trying to take it easy before Thursday.

 

[Barhanita]

Jolley and Scottish, sorry to hear about BF issues.. I feel like for me BF completely determines my mood. On a good BF day I feel great, and any bad day - I feel horrible.

Lena her 1 month check up. She is in 54% for height, 57% for weight and 70% for her head circumference. No other issues.

She has day and night reversed.. She sleep during the day and awake during the night. What do I do?

Do you swaddle her in the day? I found something on B&B that sounds really useful Im going to try. Only swaddle her at night. Get a routine going, it might actually help. Other than that I My daughter was the same way but went away around 6 weeks.

 

[HHenderson]

Well ladies I managed to get an email about a bassinet. $20. Its blue too. baby doesnt know colors so its ok. Its big as well. Tore it apart and bleaching the crap out of it in hot water. I dont trust anyone or anything. Will be washed several times and lastly in baby soap. Also came with 4 sheets. But Im satisfied for last minute thinking I wasnt going to even get one.

 

[Barhanita]

Scottish, I know, everyone recommends against it, but what helped me is to get a scale and weigh her every time before and after the feeding. So I know how much she is getting. I got one for $50

Bar-I am starting a routine with the Raptor tonight. I won't bathe him at night since he screams during bathes and is wide awake after. I am going to put lotion on his legs (since they are dry anyway) the lotion smells like lavender and vanilla, put him in his sleep sack and give him a bottle (5-6 oz) and rock a bit. I also got a night light for his room so when he wakes up at night for a feed I don't have to turn on a brighter light (I'm not afraid to admit I have issues hanging out in the dark, too many horror movies). Hopefully this will help, we had a much better night last night than we had Saturday.

 

[mac1979]

Bella-thank you for the ppv updates. I can't believe they won't let Daniel Bryant keep the title, even though Randy Orton Jr is my fantasy husband. I see a match for the next ppv.

 

[Barhanita]

we only swaddle her at night..

 

[Barhanita]

mac, we'll start a routine tonight too..
