Good Luck Brai!

Congrats to Blessed! Can't wait to hear update and see pics

 

[braijackava]

I am home. No baby in the near future. Had a really bad night so will get on tomorrow.

 

[membas#1]

sorry brai--baby will come soon tho, can't stay in there forever

 

[rottpaw]

Sorry Brai. I know the frustration and hope we both get our LO's here soon!

 

[rottpaw]

PS anyone heard from Melissa Sarkozi? Hope all is well!

 

[readynwilling]

I saw a couple FB updates - it sounded like things are moving slowly for her

 

[braijackava]

I just can't stop crying. I don't know why. I have a horrible headache too. Me and hubby are arguing over stupid things. It just feels like the end of the world right now even though i know its not. I am sure its just hormones, but that doesn't make me feel any better.

 

[rottpaw]

Thanks Sara!

brai. I have been tired and crabby myself all day. Just jealous of everyone who is done with it I think lol.

 

[readynwilling]

Sorry you guys are having a down day. We are allowed to have down days. Don't worry our time is comming soon!!

 

[rottpaw]

Thanks Sara. I've really enjoyed my first day home on rest, at least in concept. Gotten several small things done around the house, and our iPad came today (we ordered it on the recommendation of some friends who are using one to track their newborn's care, like "fed at x time, changed at y time" etc. - easy to share with family etc. who are visitng and helping out) so that has been fun to play with. But basically, aside from nesting I've just been driving myself nuts now worrying about how big this baby actually is, and how he's going to get out!

Hope you are having a good evening! Please keep us posted on Melissa S if you have access to her FB page.

 

[readynwilling]

Have fun with your Ipad!! I use the babybump app on my iphone for pregnancy and really like it. If i see anything from Melissa i'll let you know! I think im off to bed - try to get a full nights sleep in. And by that i mean a full night of sleep with only 3 wake ups to go pee

 

[rottpaw]

Thanks Sara! And I understand completely. I'm going to bed early myself this evening.

you know i've noticed that i often get crabby and grumpy around the same time everyday--and poor DH--it's usually around 5-6pm, so that's either his break time at work when he's home or right when i get home from work....i'm trying to recognize it and not get so bent out of shape but i hate seeing stupid stuff that needs to be done around the house..like the recycling, or go pick up the milk, or build a fire...just makes me grumpy--and he's helping plenty...i barely have to clean house as far as sweeping, dishes etc...right now...but i still get grumpy when i have to do more than a thing or two. sounds silly--part of it is that he only works 2 days a week and i work 5 right now so i think i get grumpy when i have to do anything whatsoever...even tho that's not entirely fair. i don't expect not to do anything but right now i guess it just annoys me. i feel bad for DH cuz he's like "are you okay?" and he'll tell me i seem grumpy...so i know he's not enjoying me being around right now a lot

you know today i stayed home from work cuz i was coming down with a cold. i wanted to stay in bed all day--instead DH and i stayed in bed til noon (getting some cuddles and in, which was great and really nice) but then he had to go to work so i ended up grocery shopping, working some, going to the post office, making dinner, picking up milk, building a fire, folding baby clothes, packing baby's bag for hospital etc. I did take a bath and now am in bed at 7pm...but you know i just wanted a WHOLE day in bed--don't ask me why, just feel like being lazy for one entire day.

okay--rant done. sorry.

brai, hope you are feeling better! sara, hope you get some good rest!

 

[rottpaw]

I know how you feel, Membas! I'm oddly grumpy myself these last few days. I wonder if it's too much to hope that it's a hormone shift that will signal my cervix to get this show on the road, LOL!?

 

[membas#1]

I don't know but it's one of the few things i do not enjoy about pregnancy--

 

[blessedmomma]

hi ladies! hope everyone is doing as well as expected being 9 months pregnant.

just got home and its really late so will only be on a minute, then im going to bed. have been up since 3am monday morning.

my induction was a dream. i would have 10 more if they all ended up like that...

7:30 arrived
8:30 started pitocin, was 3 cm dilated 80% effaced.
10:30 they broke my water. found out it had blood in it. they figured placenta was pulling away a bit and may have been responsible for low fluid in first place.
12:00 checked me. fully effaced and only 3-4 cm dilated. i thought oh my, this will take forever!!!! only 3-4 by now??? upped my epidural.
1:00 checked me. fully dilated!!! was at 10 cm from 3-4 in one hour! had to wait til OB arrived to push.
1:40 OB arrived. pushed twice, he was born at 1:44

was the easiest fastest labor ever for me.

well, im gonna get some sleep, but will update with pics tomorrow.

 

[braijackava]

Congrats Blessed! Can't wait to see pics.
I am getting ready to go to sleep. Hubby is grumpy and tired, so i just told him to go to sleep and hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. I am going to take my own advice now. Night ladies.

Congrats Blessed - sounds like it all went well. Can't wait to see pictures.

Brai this stage of pregnancy is hard without any additional complications. Hope your BP stays down.

Rottpaw glad you are enjoying your rest - don't over do it at home - just rest!

Membas and rottpaw - I definitely got very grumpy before baby arrived. It does get better after the birth (although I did cry a bit 3 days on but not so grumpy)

Are we going to have a baby thread sometime? I think I have mastitis - after yesterdays fever I am showing signs of it now though thought it would be more painful as I am still feeding Kirima fine. Have an appointment early this morning so will see - I am very sore in other places so need that checked too.
