Hellobee Boards

@sunnyday: hope things pick up!
@babypugs: I am hoping it is another case of the Atl news making a big deal of nothing. LO will be so bummed if she doesn't have gymnastics again this Saturday. Things are good here. I feel way better after showering. Pedi said baby looks great. Small lip tie that we will watch and have to watch her jaundice levels but so far she is good.

@babypugs: @Smurfette: my biological father lives outside of Atl (Pendergass) and his snow stories there are hilarious. He grew up here with boatloads of snow, so to see GA shut down, it's kind of crazy! I haven't been down in years, best thunderstorms ever there though!!!

Stopped timing contractions, until they get more annoying or consistent, figured there's no point tracking.

Midwife appointment today. Bump is measuring 4 weeks behind so she suggested growth ultrasound. She wasn't too worried though since I had the same issue with my first and it was just the way I was carrying .ultrasound next Thursday hoping everything is okay .

@snowjewelz: you are right!! Anytime I'm standing they really amp up.

Losing plug now.....eeeek!

@IRunForFun: I will be 37 weeks on Saturday and I'm measuring just about 33. I've been consistently 2-3 weeks behind, but my midwife said since I'm just about early term now they'd consider inducing if they thought she'd grow better on the outside.

Since this happened last pregnancy too I considered declining the ultrasound (especially since my midwife was very its your decision !) but I figured if there was an issue id act on it so even though it's likely nothing I'd rather peace of mind.

@Peasinapod: It sounds like you are in good hands and it sounds totally normal, but glad you will be able to have reassurance next week!

I don't think I ever had a bloody show last time, but I'm not sure! I'm still not letting myself get too excited since random people online are all "la la, I lost mine three weeks ago and still haven't gone into labor!".

@Peasinapod: yes times 100000! the logistics around our daughter is the number one thing stressing me out right now about labor. we live very far from family, so we have a whole tree of friends that are going to be helping out, which I am eternally grateful for.

@madger: we have my parents pretty close so they'll be coming to stay with her. But I still worry that something will come up and they won't be able to. I've also never left her with anyone other than daycare before. She's super attached to me.... So I just hope it all doesn't stress her out! I tried to convince my husband to stay with her.... Apparently he wants to witness the birth of his second child

@madger: @Peasinapod: I have no idea what we will do with my son. We have no close family nearby (some extended are nearby, but not family that he would know), and not many friends either.

@sunnyday: @babypugs: Good luck, maybe you'll have those babies soon.

Had my 38 week appointment today. Other than measuring a bit behind (37), no issues. I have had no signs or symptoms of labor, so I figure I will be waiting for a while. My first was an induction after a small water leak at 40+1. Good thing is that it is head down and I am not GBS+. I tried to get them to let me stay home from work, but with no medical reason, they won't give me medical leave until my next appointment, closer to 40 weeks.

Fast and furious.

Arrived at hospital with my legs crossed at 10:20pm last night, I was an 8!!! Waited for doc, nurses got me into the gas to distract from wanting to push as we were waiting on doc! Water broke in water balloon like explosion mess over many and 11pm on the nose Bronwyn Patricia arrived!! 40+1. 8lbs 12oz. I had a lot of bleeding after and was in some pretty crazy shock. Woweee on hownit all went down, she's as cutie and DH and I are pretty pumped!!

@sunnyday: Congratulations, what a big girl!!

@sunnyday: holy moly!!! congratulations speedy!!

@Chillybear: @sunnyday: ack congratulations!!! The babies are just pouring in now!!!

@Chillybear: Congratulations!!

@sunnyday: @Chillybear: congratulations!!! Alright when I can get on a computer later I gotta start a new thread to talk about these babies! It's hard to type with one hand while nursing lol

@Chillybear: congrats!!! Hope you are both doing well!!

I need OUT of this hospital, hopefully this am.

@babypugs: thankfully yes. Mid afternoon yesterday. Have to go back today for another bilirubin blood draw but so so so nice to be here overnight! We didn't do too bad overnight, I feel rested today.

My older two are insane, like on her like glue obsessed with her, it's so cute. Trying hard to set fair, safe boundaries and let them all adjust to each other!

DH is staying home mon and tues at least, maybe Weds, then my Mom and a few neighbour Moms have offered to help with school dropoff/pick up for DD, I should be okay for DS drop offs. Of course it's like -20 here with windchill this week!

I think my milk is in, not quite full force, but definitely full! Nursing is going ok so far, I'm not sure how to get her on deeper sometimes latchwkse, so sometimes the first few mins on are wiggly, getting adjusted.

Basement guys started Friday, basement is framed! Looks so good! That is probably the worst job noisewise with all the cutting so I am glad we weren't here!

@snowjewelz: thanks for checking in! We just got home about 15 min ago. So good to be back on my comfy couch. My dog is equal part excited, confused and curious all while looking for my older LO who spending the day with my mom

@snowjewelz: hormones are going here, I've had some solid teary moments and DH has been my total rock and balance through those moments. Thank goodness. Perspective is a great thing, but also allowing the feelings to happen is great, too.

I haven't seen an LC yet, nurses were very "you know what you're doing" at the hospital, I made sure to have them watch her latch and they said all was good, but something doesn't feel 100%, so I just need to make sure I stay on top of it.

@Chillybear: welcome home!!!

We had a rough night last night. I finally got her to sleep after being wide eyed for hours but only sleeping on DH. Not used to 3.5 hours of sleep. So tired!
