NOT looking forward to that part! How many hours is he sleeping between feedings?

 

[agnes_day]

well, during the day of course, he sleeps a good deal of it away but at night he will wake up at midnight, 230, 430, and 630-7..its really not so bad but i am so tired..my husband has to go to work in the morning so i have been doing all the getting up..i have him get the diapers and wipes and stuff though.
i am still sleeping far better than i was while heavily pregnant..that was a nightmare! and now since im not whale sized, i can snuggle up to my husband again

All my babies get up in the middle of the night.....A LOT..... i was so tired the next day. The last baby I would change him if he needed it and lay in the bedwith him to breast feed. Took a few tries to get the hang of it but the next day I felt like I had more sleep. When done I would put him back to bed.

I finally talked myself into a bella band. I hated spending $26 on one but I am ready to get another one after wearing it today. You know how the pregnancy pants make you look fat when you are at the between stage.....with the bella band you can wear your own pants and leave them undone. The bella band covers the button and zipper and smoothes out the belly. You can also wear it with pre-pregnancy shirts to cover the belly and the stretchy part on the maternity pants.

I'm planning to make my own tomorrow out of an old tshirt​

No fair EBWY I am due before you and you get to have yours 1st.

I was going to buy a band too but I am so poor that my pre maternity clothes were given to me and it was so long ago that I do not remember who it was. I was happy to be able to demand some new maternity clothes.

LOL not due until the 23rd of July but the doctors made their decision and I don't get a choice!
could do without the thought of all those stitches etc at the height of summer though... but if it'll keep me & the baby alive and with brain-function, I'll go along with it.

(scares me though!)

2 weeks early isn't much time, you could still have yours first!

I am due July 15th but I am usually late. One son I had in my 10th month.
You can tell they are late by the skin the more dry it is the later they were (usually just the hands and feet)
