Anything else you would like to add or PIP? My SIL was due on April 7th, and my mom and I were traveling 4 hours to her shower this past Saturday. About an hour before we were to leave, she called and said "Change of plans, my water broke!". We still went to visit, but instead of a shower we got to meet the baby! Healthy 6lb 15oz little girl. She is just precious, and I'm so excited to be her aunt!

Best: She slept 3 hours in her swing last night. Glorious!!!
Worst: Night feedings and breast feeding in general. We are having a lot of trouble latching at night, staying awake during the feed, and going to sleep after. She wants nothing to do with any of it. DH starting giving one bottle of formula when I'm asleep just so I can survive.
I really don't know if BF and I are meant to be.
Milestones: 1st pedi appt went great. She is still at the weight she was when we left the hospital.

Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? Got him an Easter outfit since he will definitely be here by then.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? Had my 39 week appointment this morning. Admittedly ugly cried when I got to my car. They were an hour behind by my 9:15 appointment, I waited for 30 minutes with no pants on, had the only dr in my practice who I don't really care for, a pretty uncomfortable cervical check where he said 'still closed up, see you next week'. Just felt really deflated. I know I haven't hit my due date yet and LO needs to cook, but something about the wait, the painful check, and his attitude just set me off. Poor DH got a not so nice phone call afterwards and I just cried for like 20 minutes.
Have you / will you found out the sex? Little man
Any names picked out? Yep
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? All ready!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Just ready for an outside baby. 14 days or less no matter what since my practice induces at 10 days past.

Have you / will you found out the sex? Baby boy
Any names picked out? We have it narrowed down to two names but we probably won't decide until we actually see him.
