The BFP Before The 'Would Of Been' Due Date Thread - Any Joiners?

[B&LsMom]

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, whigfield. I hope you get your forever BFP very soon!

I'm not looking forward to the snow, we're supposed to get 12-17 inches in less than 24 hours, some of which will be during work tomorrow, followed by heavy winds creating blizzard conditions in the afternoon/evening when I'm supposed to be coming home. I think there's a good chance I'm going to get stuck in snow in the country either getting to work or getting home, trying to shovel myself out of a ditch while 8 and a half months pregnant.

Yikes be careful out there!! We're suppose to get 3-5 inches which sounds much more manageable!!

Yep, you ladies are right. It doesn't matter if it's from a bottle, at least it's still breast milk. Iz had her two day check up today and the pediatrician was very pleased I didn't just "give up" and start formula feeding her (which he assured me would also be just fine!) and said "she's still getting the boob juice, it's ok!" Haha, he's FLAMING gay and I LOVE it!

lomelly, I can't believe you got so much slack for formula feeding for a few days. Were you supposed to starve your child or something? Sometimes it just takes a few days for the milk to come in.

kate, don't get stuck in the snow! It stinks enough without having to be pregnant in it.

We got about 6 inches of snow last night, but the roads were at least partly ploughed so it wasn't too bad getting into work. But I did have to shovel just a tiny bit to get the huge chunks of snow out from the bottom of our driveway from when they ploughed (I know, I shouldn't shovel, hut my husband works night's and wasn't home yet). Now I'm just worried about getting back home since it's supposed to snow more during the day!

I hate when you get plowed in!! Our roads were really bad last night we only got 3 inches but it was a layer of ice under the snow. Driving home from dinner out our car skid around a corner and we jumped a curb sideways DH hates my car in the snow to say the least!

12 week scan tomorrow. I can hardly believe it! I'm so nervous

I have everything crossed for you girlin x

We are supposed to get up to 7 inches tonight plus another 1-3 tomorrow morning. The bad news is that my toddler gets very very crabby when she is restricted to stay inside the house because we don't have snow gear for her.

I have many feet of snow outside my new house you're all more then welcome to it.

We're all moved into our house in the Northwest Territories just waiting on the rest of our stuff to be delivered.

Breast is best but it doesn't matter if it's bm from a bottle or boob! I have more respect for someone who pumps exclusively cause it's twice the work to pump then feed! I had to pump full time for a few months while i was in school after having my son.

Girlin good luck for tomorrow!

 

[kategirl]

Girlin, hope everything looks good on the scan!

We got a hunch more snow - hubby won't be making it to work tonight since he can't get out of the neighborhood, and I'm glad I left work at noon or I might have end up spending the night at work! My hubby is worried I'll go into labor on a night like tonight - I hope I don't!

 

[samj732]

girlin good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to see pictures

Aww we aren't getting any snow from this storm Too far south of me. Kate, I was scared to death of going into labor during a snowstorm too but it didn't happen thankfully!

 

[B&LsMom]

I had Blake during the snowiest week on record for our city we didn't even get hospital pics cause it was so snowy the photographer couldn't make it in. If DH didn't have a big truck I don't think they would have let us take him.

 

[armymama2012]

I'm glad my baby isn't due til spring but since i'll be all alone my biggest fear now is that I'll go into labor or have my water break while driving.

Hey, Sam, just now stopped in to see the picture of Izobel. She's gorgeous! Congrats!

I had my first u/s on Monday, and everything looks great. Baby was measuring one day behind the original due date, but I had an appointment at the maternity clinic today and the doctor said she's happy to stick with the original date of July 29th. We got to see the little flutter of baby's heartbeat! So amazing; what a comfort to see that, too.

 

[lomelly]

Good to hear, b&l's mom... He isn't really familiar with me as I don't see him a whole lot so getting him to listen can be difficult. I agree that if they're both mine it would be easier... Glad Lukas is doing well!

Kelly, why the move to nwt?? I'd love to move out west, like to Alberta or somewhere with the mines/oil sands. I hear there's a lot of job opportunities. I want some of your snow we only got a dusting

Sam, you'd think they wouldn't want me to starve him but I heard nothing but crap from the nurses in the hospital. They're like try this position, that one, let him suck for longer... On the second day I was in the hospital I demanded formula for him, and got flack for that too. I swear people emphasize breast feeding way too much.

Girlin, hope it went well!!

Kate, is it time yet? Lol

 

[Kelly9]

^ it's all about going with what the mom wants, I'm a nurse and a big breast feeding supporter and pusher but I'm just as happy to help as mom out who decides to use formula, both will get the job done and a healthy happy baby is all that matters.

We moved up north from just outside Calgary actually for my husbands job, he's an RCMP officer, we both wanted to go north to see what it was about, make the extra cash and get back to Nova Scotia after, one of the only ways to get back east if you're from there is to do a crap (ie northern or isolated) posting, we just lucked out cause we have other motives for doing it. And please have some of my snow! I have more then enough up north!

 

[girlinyork]

Hey everyone - my baby is perfect pictures on the front page of my new journal. I have the world's most stubborn and hyperactive little baby I think

 

[Kelly9]

Awww yay!!! Congrats

 

[kategirl]

Yay, girlin!

 

[kategirl]

Kate, is it time yet? Lol

Lol, I hope not! She's not quite cooked yet.
