Quoting Crystal+1:" Sucks that you may have to have a c/s when you don't want one but it would be great to know when he's coming."

Whatever gets my son here safely is okay with me. Knowing when he's coming and getting to skip the pain of contractions are definitely perks to having to have a c/s, though  

Quoting Crystal+1:" So not looking forward to next week. I'm scheduled 3am- 10am and then 5pm - 10pm on Thanksgiving day. ... [snip!] ... time to eat and sleep, let alone see my family. Ugh...wish I could just tell em no, I'm not going to work those hours."

That really sucks! I'm sorry you've got to work such crappy hours! I know we're all exhausted at this point - I couldn't imagine having to work those hours being this pregnant!

Quoting marissa [10 days]:" lol thank you both  "

Wow you are so close....I wish you all the best of luck and cant wait till we all can post our labor and birth stories and see some of the Dec babies!!

I know!!

A girl in my town who was due about a week and a half ahead of me had her baby last night. I was like   I'm next I'm next! lol

Just ordered some cloth diaper detergent (couldn't decide what we were doing but I figured I'll prep what I have and make sure washer is clean!) and some cloth breast pads. Not a lot but I figured I can wear them around the house and save myself some money!


I remember going through them SO quickly with my son. And the paper ones stuck to my nipples and HURT taking them off.

Love getting mail <3

Quoting **Louise**:" My bump has definitely grown in the last few days!! The skin on my belly has felt really stretched. I ... [snip!] ... it still doesn't make me feel any better about doing it all over again! Hopefully this time will be just as good but quicker!"

I know what you mean about it scaring you. I'm a little hesitant too but it's not like we can skip that part. Funny how we go through something like that and then choose to do it again isn't it? lol

Quoting marissa [10 days]:" 10 days for me. so excited."

I thought 5 1/2 weeks was soon. 10 days! I'm excited for you!

Quoting Freckleface Watermelon:" That is insane!! Are you at least getting holiday pay?! That would make it worth it but they should ... [snip!] ... I was pregnant with my son and they had me work 2-10 on black friday and it wasn't busy at all. Just cleaned up the mess lol"

I'll either be getting holiday pay or overtime. Either way it's time and a half. I've always opened on black Friday since I've worked there but never had hours like this. I really don't know how we're all going to do it. I think all of the full timers are scheduled this way this year. Can't believe Thanksgiving is almost here already though. Seems like we just started November and now it's halfway over. Time is just flying by!

Thanks for the support. I'll be sure to let you all know how it goes. Hopefully my husband will pick up some of the slack at home while I'm working those crazy hours so I don't have to play catch up at home after all that.

My MIL always said I would have enough laundry with all the baby clothes so she went out and bought me a couple huge boxes of the disposable breast pads. It was nice to be able to just toss em when they got yucky. I was going to buy the washable ones until she did that. I still have some of them left from then too. LOL

HI everyone! I am due Dec 10th with twin boys! Anyone else got twins going on??

They are teeny tiny and require zero folding. I will throw them in with whatever load of laundry is going at the time lol

Quoting Freckleface Watermelon:" They are teeny tiny and require zero folding. I will throw them in with whatever load of laundry is going at the time lol"

Yea. I didn't think it seemed like a big deal to wash them but I wasn't going to argue if she was gonna buy em for me.

Thanks! Same to you   I'm hoping to stay at home as long as possible and then go to hospital to a midwife lead ward. Would like to have another water birth too as I loved it with my son.
