Going home today girls, have a spinal headache but will post our story as soon I can. This is just all so awesome. Little peanut is amazing. Thinking of you all!! Xo

 

[frsttimemama]

Yay Kara!! That's so exciting that I I hope you feel better soon!

I still feel awful. I'm trying to hokd out til my appointment tomorrow because I don't want anyone else giving me medicine anyway. I'm too nervous. I'm having iced light orange juice for breakfast. Pathetic, i know. I have to email my doctor today anyway because 3/4 of yesterdays sugars were too high..

 

[Cowgirl07]

Yay Kara glad all is well.
Sandy hope you feel better soon.
Afm off to work it's so cold. I didn't sleep well last night.

 

[goldstns]

Sandy- be sure to tell the doc that ur sick...that can effect your numbers.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Welcome Back Sarah!! Little Evan is just adorable! Glad everything is going well.

 

[goldstns]

Just my observation...although the cookies r yummy....i am not finding that they are increasing my milk supply.

 

[clynn11]

Sarah Evan is such a cutie. So glad all is going well.

Kara Makayla Is just such an adorable tiny little thing, so glad you're getting to go home!!

Julie I hope recovery is going smoothly for you!

Sandy I hope you feel better

Afm, gestational diabetes test this morning and then get to see my baby girl again in 3D if she's cooperating. Cannot wait!!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Kara- that was a quick trip in and out! Lucky you for going home already!!

Cassidy- Enjoy seeing your girl today! I haven't seen mine since 20 weeks, and likely won't until she's born. It makes me a little sad, but I'd rather have no complications and not see her until she's here. (they said the only reason I'd have another scan is if there was a "problem")

 

[wavescrash]

Morgan --- if you're reading, good luck today! Thinking of you, hubs and Marley

 

[clynn11]

Yes- thinking of you Morgan!! I hope your sweep gets things jumpstarted!

 

[asmcsm]

Good luck with the sweep today Morgan!!

Kara yay for getting to go home already!!

Cassidy, good luck at your GD test today! Can't wait to see what Zuri is looking like now.

AFM, I was dying the whole time I was at my sisters ultrasound yesterday because I just wanted to use the transducer on myself for a second to see what Lux's face looks like now lol. Last time I saw her was 24 weeks...but I guess I only have about 8 weeks to go till I get to see her IRL so I can hold off lol. I'm sooo tired today and have no idea why. I seriously still sleep really well and only get up to pee maybe 2-3 times a night and can fall right back to sleep so I'm surprised I'm feeling so tired today. I just hope that I continue to be lucky and get good sleep before baby girl shows up and I'm on the exhausted mommy sleep pattern lol.

Saw this on Pinterest. Power smoothie for breastfeeding mommas - 2 cups organic spinach + 1/4 cup milk, almond milk, or water + 2 cups frozen or fresh berries + 1 banana + 3/4 cup plain or vanilla greek yogurt (or a scoop of vanilla protein powder) + handful of ice

Also - not sure which lactation cookie recipe you ladies were using but I found these two which are a little different than the other ones I've seen. They're both similar to each other but one has a little twist to it that I think would make it more yummy.

[CantHrdlyWait]

Good luck today Morgan!!! I really hope this kick starts everything for you!!! I am going on our babymoon this weekend, i'll try to make sure I log on to see if Marley has come!

Ashlee- I'm so jealous of your sleep!!! my back hurts so bad every night that sleep is nearly impossible. I toss and turn all night. I have a body pillow, but it's just not cutting it. I get this pain in one very specific part of my lower back.. it's so annoying.

 

[asmcsm]

Britt- when I used a body pillow at the beginning of my pregnancy I didn't sleep at all. It just didn't cut it. They're too soft. I have a pregnancy pillow and it's much more firm and the perfect shape. I'll have a hard time giving it up after baby is here lol

AFM- I'm fucking pissed off right now. Our hospital has decided to discontinue water birthing and now you're only allowed to labor. Don't see how it's right that someone can choose to have an elective c-section but I can't choose to give birth in water. Both have risks of infection and it's not like I didn't know that before making my choice to do water birth. Figures this shit would happen when I'm almost to my due date. High five assholes that just want to make delivering babies easier for yourselves and disregard what the woman wants!

Kara glad ur getting to go home....im sure ur having just the perfect time with Makayla

Julie hope ur doing well...waiting to hear an update

Morgan thinking of u ... fx the sweep does its job and u kick start the coming of little Marley

Cassidy glad u liked the glucola...i dint think it was bad too...

Ashlee tht sucks tht your hospital decided on cancelling water births...have all the hospitals in your area done tht??? Can u not choose to give birth someplace else?

To all the breast feeding moms who wanna increase their supply...in india women tend to have alot of tapioca porridge after delivery which seems to increase their supply alot...mayb u girls can give tht a shot...worth the try

Afm - 33 weeks today....honestly the last few weeks r just dragging...sometimes i feel oh so close and sometimes its like really how long can a week take to go by....mayb its just tht im becoming more and more immobile by the day i tend to get breathless very easily....cant sleep well at night but oh boy i can sleep all day long!!! on the gud side only 4 weeks till my parents get here...they r coming from india to help us after baby is here and will b staying a whole 6 mths...i know thts overwhelming for some of u but honestly i cudnt b more grateful for them to b doing this....also i get to meet my dad in person after 4.5 yrs...its goin to b awesome
