Hellobee Boards

@NeekieRose: Good luck! We are all excited for you.

@loki: congratulations on your sweet baby girl! I am glad that it went well and you are both recovering nicely!

@neekierose: Hope your second c-section went smoothly like mine. I can't wait to see pictures of your daughter! Take it easy for the next few days and let your DH pamper you. So exciting.

@loki: ccongratulations doll!!!

Ryan is here! Born at 10:41 am yesterday. And she is not a small girl, weighing in at 9lbs 1oz and 21.25 inches long.

The whole experience was very deja vu. Same OB and midwife as with Reagan. After she was out, they checked out all my organs and said how great my right ovary looked, no sign there was ever a cyst. Well that's because it was on the left ovary last time. Then they look at the left side. Baseball size cyst. Fantastic.

So they attempt to remove it, which involves sending for an additional doctor (same additional doc as last time) and sending DH and Ryan to the nursery. They also gave me a little something extra to make me doze off some. In the end, they weren't able to save the ovary. So they removed my left ovary and tube. Shouldn't be any issues and we can still have another baby if we choose.

So it was a little more drama during the c-section than planned but it all turned out fine.

She is nursing like a champ. As in won't stop. Total boob monster. Ha. Reagan met her, didn't really know what to think.

I was, and still am, super exhausted. But happy!

That's the update for now! And a couple pics.

@NeekieRose: What a cutie! I can't believe she was so big. Does that make you kind of happy you ended up with a c-section LOL? I'm sorry to hear about your ovary but glad that it doesn't affect you having other kids. Can't wait to see more pics!

@NeekieRose: she is beautiful!

Thanks ladies!

@marionberry: so happy it was a c-section! First thin the midwife said when she came out was that since her head was very round, she hadn't gotten anywhere near the birthing canal and we likely would have ended up with a c-section regardless.

If it is even poss4, this recovery is going easier than the last. Hope it continues this way!

@Neekierose: So happy that baby Ryan arrived safe and sound, although I'm sad that there were additional complications with your ovary. You seem very optimistic, which I think plays a big part in recovery. And, like you said, it shouldn't affect you having more kids. Enjoy this time with your two girls; they look so cute together!

@NeekieRose: Congratulations! Sorry about your ovary but good that you and baby are doing well now.

Congratulations April mamas!

Going home today! A day early. Currently just getting in some baby snuggles.

@NeekieRose: A day early? You are an over achiever!

@NeekieRose: Ya I would have liked to go home early but my BP wouldn't cooperate. I'm surviving at home. With help it's great but by myself it's hard!

@Boopers: yay!! good luck!!!

On the monitors. Contractions 3 minutes apart but I'm still only 1 cm dilated. Not sure what's going to happen next. Will update soon!

@Boopers: Yay, good luck!

@Boopers: I hope this is it for you!

Well since I'm only 1 cm and 60% effaced my doctor wants me to labor at home. She thinks I'll be in active labor in the next 12-24 hours. Bummed, but hopefully it won't be too much longer.
