We'll start with the good. NB arrived bright and early Monday morning. She and I are 100% healthy. She was 9 lbs 6 oz (I won the bet) and 21 inches long. Great sleeper and eater. Everyone has been joking that I perfected human cloning, she looks identical to DH. BD2 and SD3 both love her to death and are tripping over each other to help me with her.

Help!

I'm going to be 1 week overdue as of tomorrow. NB is being stubborn.

I had a horrible reaction to pitocin with BD2's birth. My blood pressure spiked and I ended up bleeding for 3 months afterwards. My doctor has promised me he'll use it only as a last resort, but I'm still very very worried about it.

I've tried black cohosh, evening primrose oil, walking, dancing, spicy foods, castor oil, and jumping jacks (re: the last two; I'm getting desperate lol). Dr. stripped my membranes on Monday. I've been doing lots and lots of praying today...

How to be a good BM

A friend of mine is expecting. She will be a BM. She is not getting back with the father.
She was telling me today she doesn't want to be like BM or the other women we know. She wants to give the father every other weekend as soon as she and the baby can handle it and work up to 50/50 by the child's first birthday.

I gave her 3 "basic rules" for being a decent BM.

Thought I'd share my funny of the weekend separately from my vent

DH's phone started ringing on Saturday. It was BM's brother, B's number. DH and B are best friends and coworkers. They kid around a lot.
DH answers the phone, "Hey Ugly!"
I can hear BM's voice answering. DH turned bright red and bit visibly bit his tongue to keep from laughing. Apparently BM borrowed her brother's phone. Biggrin DH got to call BM ugly and not get in trouble for it. I'm still giggling. Small victories...

Focus on the Adorable...

We picked up SDstb3 yesterday and DH stood outside the car to talk to BM for a minute. SD was chatting happily. She pointed at DH

SD: That my black daddy. (DH is about as white as you can get. People think he is albino occasionally)
Me: :? Um, no sweetie, Daddy is white.
SD: NOPE! He my black daddy today. And Mommy is my black mommy!
Me: And what am I?
SD: YOU are my purple mommy. And that my pink sister!

At this point I realized she was referring to the shirts everyone was wearing. Boy, I got a laugh out of that one.
