Hellobee Boards

Just a little update on Evie... her NG tube is out and she's been taking good volumes all day. If she can keep this up overnight and tomorrow, we'll get to go home from the NICU Saturday morning. I'm afraid to get my hopes up, but feeling cautiously optimistic!

@MissLace: That's too funny! I'm glad everything went well with your surgery.

@yellowbeach: Absolutely precious! She's grown so much already!

@MissLace: Oh my gosh How are you feeling now?!

@yellowbeach: Look at that sweet face! Glad she's doing better and you will all be home soon!

I'm in so much pain today. Keep waking up with painful contractions. Threatened to strangle SO if he kept moving the bed during one. This is either really extreme false labor or early labor. Not sure which yet. Thinking more along the lines of false. Not timing the contractions yet though.

@yellowbeach: Yay Evie! Keeps going little one!

@psw27: @mrsmacSLP: I've been laying down and drinking lots of fluids. Still having contractions. Laying on a heating pad for the time being until I can't stand the pain any longer. If it goes away then cool. If not then I'll be in the hospital later.

@yellowbeach: welcome home Evie!!

@littleblessings: Ahhhh! Hope you get it figured out!

@yellowbeach: Yay!! So happy for y'all! I have a few of those dresses and bonnets for Annabelle (some from when I was a baby), so that pic is making me swoon

DH got his wisdom teeth removed yesterday and today I took DD out for a breakfast/park/target date, which went well. But now that we're home shes crying in her room because I won't stay in there to play with her during her rest time. DH is complaining about having to eat small and slow (seriously, dude?) And lack of variety of what he can eat and I kind of lost it on him. I'm 34 weeks pregnant and you're complaining about eating ice cream and yogurt and potatoes? Ooooook. Grr. Just need to vent.

@abbydabbydoodlebug: haha men can be such babies! I would lose it too. My dh complains about being tired and I'm like.....

@JennyPenny: @psw27: @MapleMoose: I think we're all at that point of like, "don't say anything or be prepared for glares/words." I could tell that I was super hormonal yesterday because everything made me want to cry.

I really want to play hooky from church and go see Beauty and the beast by myself, but....I shouldn't. Lol.

@abbydabbydoodlebug: oh yea. I'm so at that point. I'm like oh you are sore from running? I'm wearing a 30 pound weight vest and its crushing my bladder.

@JennyPenny: Your freezer is amazing! My husband actually organized our's today so it looks good but is still pretty full of odds and ends. I've never made freezer meals but I wish I did. I'm hoping my mom cooks for us a few times like she did last time but otherwise it'll be interesting.

2+ time moms - did/will you do a gift from the new baby to your older LOs? I remember when I first heard of this idea I came up with the perfect present. DS was super into pictures on our phones and I thought he'd love a tiny digital camera all his own. But he's not so into it now so I'm not sure it'd be a good gift. And I can't think of anything else, so I'm thinking about scrapping that plan all together.

@JennyPenny: wow, I am super impressed! Way to go!

I'm probably not doing any freezer meals, but we have a large group of friends and family that will put together a meal train / care calendar for us for meals for the first month or so. At least, I'm counting on that since they did it with DD1! Lol.

@bubblegum: Yikes! I've heard that is definitely more of an issue with baby girls. Hopefully the clothes are to your taste. And YAY for finished nursery!!

I was just peeking over at the March boards and it looks like they had 3 babies in the 2nd half of February. If patterns follow we should have a few babies showing up in the next week or 2!!!

@JennyPenny: Wow, impressive!! Also, I didn't do a gift to DS1 from the baby last time because he was only 20 months. I'm considering doing it this time though because he'll be 3.5 (DS2 will be 21 months, but obviously I'll include him too).

@ValentineMommy: Aww I love the idea of the older ones giving the baby something! I think DS1 would love that!

@bubblegum: Yay!! I got lots of clothes too, but some other stuff as well. It's crazy watching the pink pile up, isn't it?! Our nursery is pretty much finished, we're just waiting on the glider which should be here in 3 weeks!

@JennyPenny: I was thinking of getting DS something from the baby. He's really into Paw Patrol so maybe a new "pup" to round out his set.

@bubblegum: aw so sweet! I hope if I have a third its a girl - I'm sure I will go crazy for girl stuff if I ever have one!

I don't want to jinx myself or anything (knock on wood!) but today is 34 + 5 for me - I'm officially more pregnant than I ever have been before! DS 1 came at 34 + 4! I'm so happy I've made it this far!

@psw27: Aww well sending girl vibes your way for your hopeful third pregnancy! I must say the clothes are adorable. Much more variety than boy clothes that's for sure. Awww congrats to making it this far! Fingers crossed you get to make it to full term!

@bubblegum: That's exactly what it is, I think. I had to buy all new bottles this time, because after two boys, who ate non-stop, they were totally spent! Actually, after two rough boys, most of our stuff was pretty worn out! I think we are finally done shopping, at least for now!
