Re: PG/Mom Check-In
My MIL just left after staying with us for 10 nights. She is very sweet and means well, but it has been a hard 10 days for me. H has been very understanding and made sure to stick up for me when she got a bit overbearing at times. I love her to death, but I just felt like she was criticizing and invading my privacy a little too much. I know I would feel differently if my mom were here, if that makes sense. I think part of my frustrations with her are that she is not my mom and I'm used to my mom doing things a certain way and acting a certain way. I don't think I am explaining this very well, but I hope you guys know what I mean.
Zoe loves to be wide awake around midnight. Sometimes she stays up till 3-4 am but luckily that is only 1-2 nights/week. She feeds every 2-3 hours during the dy and she usually goes for 4 hours at night around 3am-7am. I am looking forward to the dau she goes longer periods of time in between feedings.
Tomorrow we go to Shriner's to see the orthopedic pediatrician again. They are going to assess her again and do an ultrasound. I am REALLY hoping she gets this Pavlik harness off then. It really doesn't seem to bother her that much, but it's more of an inconvenience for H and I lol! We still have to sponge bathe her, and changing her clothes is quite a chore (and she hates it). We have kept it on the entire time, even when we change her clothes, because we want it off ASAP! They told us the less we take it off the more effective it is. Fingers crossed that she will not need it anymore!!
Laney, I'm sending lots of vibes that this appointment is much better than the one you walked out of.
I'm doing well, still tired as anything. I can't tell if it is b/c of the time change or if I'm just not truly sleeping at night. I recently got a leg pillow from Bed Bath and Beyond that seems to be working wonders for my sciatic pain.
Next week DH and I go for the Anatomy scan. We are so excited to see the Munchkin again, especially since I haven't been able to feel him/her. We are contemplating having the tech put the sex in an envelope and letting MIL open it and tell us what we are having when we go visit her that weekend (she is having a double knee replacement this Wednesday) in Miami. Regardless if we do that DH and I have promised not to tell anyone until after we tell MIL so I'm sure there will be pictures when I post the news here.

Yes. Yes, I know all too well what you mean. And I am sure I hurt MIL's feelings a million times when she visited after DD was born, but I was too tired/exhausted/drained to care. Hopefully, she got over it. Having Mom here was much easier - we fold towels the same, we operate well without ever speaking a word, and I learned to mother from her. I do so many things that she did, that it made it much easier.
Totally get it!
Oh Jen, I am so sorry. I can relate, totally. My MIL just moved out after living with us for three months. It was such a blessing to have an extra set of hands, plus she watches our twins while I am work. But, my heavens, there are many days where I would give up my salary to put these kids in daycare.
Jen - I totally get what you are saying. I am already dreading how its going to be when I have my little one. MIL is the nicest lady and means well and would do anything for us but its just not my mom. I dont think she will be able to take any time off once I have the baby which will be fine with me. DH is going to take the first 2 weeks off with me and then my mom is going to take the 3 week with me. I should be fine, but you never know with this being my first.
I have been feeling great still. I officially broke down and bought 4 pairs of maternity pants on Friday. They are so much more comfortable than me trying to still wear my old work pants with the belly band. I have been feeling movement but its definitely more over the past week. DH finally got to feel the little guy on Saturday.
This morning I had to go in for a couple tests at the hospital to make sure all is okay since I am past 40 weeks. Honestly, even though I chose not to get induced last week because I wanted to give her a chance to come on her own, I was kind of hoping we might have to induce today. I've had the most intense contractions all weekend and today, and I'm beginning to feel miserable. But she passed all of her tests, so unless I go in labor on my own, no baby until the induction they scheduled for Thursday. I'm trying not be frustrated but I am so over timing painful contractions that conviently stop just when they begin getting regular and close together. But I am grateful to know she is doing well in there, she's just doesn't want to come out.
Oh man, I was hoping you would have had a super moon baby!
Sending labor dust your way!
