guppy - im so flipping jealous !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you have no bloody idea !
congrats 2 weeks over and 2 weeks under !
afm- im in constant pain all the darn time
with jesse i was in slow early labour for the week before hand, contracting on and off, and they were def contractions because they got painful, but then subsided and im having the exact same thing this time
keep having contractions but then they stop. im so angry at my body. i wish it would either go into definate labour or let me enjoy the next 11 days and be pain free!
and holly is sitting so low that it really hurts to sit down and i feel like im sitting on her head. so painful
Good luck Guppy ~ Hope those tightnings get stronger & your LO arrives real soon 
AFM, I tried to go to bed at 10 last night, and Aria decided we needed to be up all night, crying and cluster-feeding and screaming and fussing and it was miserable. From 10pm - 8am I slept maybe 2 hours total, broken into pieces.We took her in this morning for a checkup because we had been discussing her reflux issues at her 1 month appointment, but last night was the first really bad night of her having problems with it. I felt awful, because she was obviously so miserable and in so much pain. Hopefully what they gave me for her problems works! I just hate seeing her be so unhappy and finding myself incapable of making her feel relief.
Anyone with reflux experience, I'm open to all ideas, suggestions, etc on how to help make her more comfortable. She slept a little bit in her carseat last night, and a little on her tummy (on Daddy's tummy), otherwise she was inconsolable.
I had to stop breastfeeding, as she was in so much pain feeding, she was only getting the foremilk & thus making it worse

I'm jealous, too!! My hips have been hurting and I've been having BH and cramps since last night.
At this point, I'm convinced I'm going to be one of the last in here to have my baby.
Id forgotton how hard these last weeks are 
We'll see how it goes until Monday.
Thank you Kelly! I so appreciate it!
The doctor was impressed because she was 8lb 3oz on Tuesday and 8lb 10oz today, so she said that she clearly is eating more than enough and thankfully, weight issues are no big deal at the moment. I'm grateful for that much. But she has major issues after eating, especially at night. During feeds, she'll sometimes arch her back and grunt or scream but I can usually bribe her back to the boob. After feeds, I burp her and during the day, I'm usually holding her for a long time so she settles nicely and falls back asleep, or is awake and happy. At night, though, I would try to hold her upright as long as possible but when exhaustion would hit, I'd try to sleep with her and she'd wail. Last night she wailed and flailed and arched anytime we put her down for 5 hours. We got her to nap briefly in her carseat. This afternoon we took her newborn lounger (by boppy) and put her between us on the bed. She crashed, and so did we. It works great and she is nestled inside the lounger so nicely. So that was helpful.
We got Zantac today for her but she hates the taste (can't blame her) and thus tries to spit most of it back out in my face.
but I think it's something harmless and I'm over reacting. Hoping one of you may have seen it before. Haha.

But I am still losing big pieces of the plug. I had heard the sweep can lead to labor in 48 hours if its going to be effective, so I'm still holding out hope, but I had hoped it would be something more significant by now.
It's been there for hours and hours, hasn't changed since I first noticed it. Initially we feared it was hives from the meds but I'm thinking not the case. Though was unsure if anyone else had seen similar on their LOs before.
This is Aria's "rash" - it's at the base of her neck. It's red, kind of hard to photograph. Basically she just has a patch of skin that's red and not raised, and then a few tiny little raised dots spread across the red.
Thanks for the tip Saphire, I will look into that!
As long as you dont notice it anywhere else on her body, im sure its nothing to worry about
it is not looking hopeful but i am just so confused about this whole bloody show and mucus plug. I had some watery blood with the mucus i lost this morning.... The other 2 times it was just mucus with blood in it.
