@iluvboba637: good luck today!!

@iluvboba637: good luck!

Just poking my head back in as a potential end of April momma, been awesome reading these updates and seeing all the new additions so far!

@Den mom: @akcoffeebean: how are you doing mamas?

I'm now about 5 hours into my induction...I was 3.5 cm when we checked in at 7:30 which was a big surprise bc I was a 0 at my last appt on Saturday.

I'm managing the pain ok for now. It was super painful earlier when my contractions were about every 2-3 min apart so I asked for an epi but the anesthesiologist was unable to get it in (I expected difficult as it was crazy difficult since I'm so swollen and it took over an hour to get the epi in with my son).

So now we wait at 5cm.

I forgot to mention that I felt like I was leaking since about 10:30 am. And when she checked it at 5cm earlier at 2:00 it really made the water gush out. My ob just checked me at 2:30 and I'm now a 7. That was great news, I knew once my water broke I would progress more. Contractions are getting a bit harder to breathe through but we're making progress and my ob was surprised I'm still smiling.

C'mon lets get this show on the road!!!

@iluvboba637: good luck! It was less than 2 hrs for me once my water broke. Hope the rest is fast and easy for you.

@Den mom: oh my goodness, what a sweet picture. He's adorable!! Congrats!

@iluvboba637: good luck! Hope the next 5cm go even faster!

@MaisyMay: How are you getting on?

@iluvboba637: so exciting to hear that things are picking up! I can't wait to see a baby is here update!

I've stalled out and we're waiting on my OB to come back and break my water I've had a chance to rest, visit with friends and rest some more. I'm ready to meet baby girl!

@Cherrybee: things are going better. Little guy's tongue tie had been fixed but we are still mostly pumping. He passed his birth weight so no more waking him in the middle of the night.

@bloved: when my son came to meet new baby, it was a moment I'll never forget. It was so sweet and made me melt. Youll have your baby in your arms soon

@Den mom: congratulations he is adorable!

@iluvboba637: Congratulations mama! You did it! Hope your babe us back in your arms really soon.

@iluvboba637: congrats! I hope she is out of the NICU soon!

That Nubain kicked my butt and made me so sleepy. But I think I'm finally a but more alert now.

Just went down to NICU. E's spending the night in the NICU. Her "color" looks a lot better than earlier though but her chest is still rising and falling a but difficultly. They did a chest X-ray earlier so I'm gonna call ~11:00 for the results.

Im praying that her lungs absorb the fluid soon and she continues to breath well on her own which she's doing pretty good with now.

Her blood sugar is normal and initial labs show no results but she's getting antibiotics just in case of any infection.

@Den mom: congrats mama! He's adorable!

@Den mom: congratulations! He is adorable! @iluvboba637: congratulations! Happy to hear everyone is doing better! Were you able to get the chest x ray results?

@autumnleaves: the NICU Doctor said her chest X-ray shows what looks to be immature lungs rather than infection. They put in a breathing tube but she's doing most of the breathing on her and she looks like she's resting better. The breathing tube will probably stay in for 24-48 hours.

@iluvboba637: congrats on babies arrival. Glad to hear they don't think it's an infection. Hope she gets out of the nicu real soon! It's gotta be tough for you! Hang in there.

@iluvboba637: oh my gosh. I'm sorry your dealing with all that. Prayers for your lo. Stay strong momma, she'll be with you soon
