Hellobee Boards

@jaguar: I’m dying for a baby update!!

@honey786: great minds think alike! Good luck with the boys name.

@Jessiemuller88: Hope things are going smoothly with the adjustment to life as a family of five!

I'm feeling really nostalgic about losing all the one-on-one time I was used to with DS, but know that soon we will find a new normal... loving the baby cuddles!

@Sams Mom: hope everything is ok!! She’s probably just running out of room. I remember mine having weird shaking movements too. It’s an odd feeling!! Any word from doctor?

@periwinklebee: I hope things are going smoothly for you too! I’m sorry you are missing your one on one time with DS, I had a few meltdowns at the hospital over the same thing, but now that we are home, I’m finding I have plenty of time to love on him and give him attention too. Plus he is smitten with the twins!

I’m loving the baby cuddles too. Though I do find myself able to put these two down more than I did with DS. I think it’s because they have each other!!

@Jessiemuller88: I hung out in L&D for about 90 minutes. She wasn't moving much at first, then the doctor walks in and she starts having a party. So I felt ridiculous for going in, but the nurse assured me they'd rather tell me all is well than tell me I should have come in sooner.

@Sams Mom: I agree with the nurse! So glad all is well, and the peace of mind is enough of a reason to go in!

They are SO snuggly

@Jessiemuller88: So so so precious Congratulations! Can't believe they're here!

@periwinklebee: So glad things are going well!

@Sams Mom: I'm glad nothing came of it!

I went for a growth scan yesterday (32 weeks) and baby boy is already 5 lbs. Dr said I have to manage my GD even better I reaaaally don't want him to be too big and I'd have to get a c-section...

Oh my gosh you guys, sorry for keeping you! What a 6 days it's been.

Our induction went beautifully - walked into hospital at 3.5cm dilated already, waters broken at 9am, drip started at 9.15am, and Amelia Grace was born at 11.55am - gas and air, natural delivery, happy and healthy. She weighed 3.9kg (8lb6oz) and was 50cm long, giant 36cm head!

We were in hospital for our standard 4 nights, and one of those was spent under the blue lights for jaundice (again - we make orange babies!) but got home and are adjusting to a family of 5. How did I get so lucky?

Bebe spam incoming!

@jaguar: she is GORGEOUS! Congrats momma!

@graceandjoy: I'm thankful for my scheduled c-sections at this point. If I would have had to push my son out, he probably wouldn't be getting a sister at all.

@jaguar: she is absolutely adorable! Love her little waffle thermal and the blanket or whatever floral she's lying on too

Thanks guys! She's so sweet and the girls have been amazing with her. Had a few unsettled nights now that she's a week old and started waking up a bit more.. and my boobs are insane right now, but otherwise, all well and happy.

Bring on more babies!!!

@Jessiemuller88: I take my hat off to you Mumma. You're doing an amazing job!

@graceandjoy: I'm due on the 16th! Baby is head down, at -2 station, and I'm dilated to a 1. And we all know that means nothing. 🤣 But at the very least I'll have a January baby, because my midwives won't let me go past 41w.

@honey786: Hope you have the baby now, or will soon!!!

@jaguar: @Jessiemuller88: DS (will be two in a month) hasn't paid a lot of attention to the baby, but when he does acknowledge her, he's been really sweet and gentle. I think he's a little young to fully understand the significance of it, but fortunately doesn't seem very disturbed by it either... Over here, knock on wood, BF so far has been much more smooth than it was with DS. Baby is gaining really well, I still let DS BF once in the morning and once in the evening, and have been putting away a better stash than I had with him, just through using the haakaa pump, with the added benefit that it prevents leaking all over the baby She's been such a chill baby compared to DS, I keep expecting that to change everyday but so far she remains pretty chill...

@honey786: Any day now!!!

@helloperidot: YAY! Can't wait to meet bub xx

@periwinklebee: I love my haakaa. Best thing ever! My supply is doing so much better this time around.

I am in major denial that my baby girl is 10 days old already. I want to cry... the newborn days just go by too fast.

@periwinklebee: Yes, I started using the Hakka with #2 and it was great! Building a stash without extra work! BF with #2 for me went SO smooth, I hope you have a nice & easy journey with her!

He’s here! I had him 2.5 hours after my first contraction started on Saturday night (he came Sunday after midnight). We were only at the hospital for 20 minutes before he came out!! Luckily I was able to get in the water for a fast water birth! He was 8lb 14oz. Big healthy boy with a full head of hair. We are home and settling in.

@honey786: Congratulations! A super quick labor/delivery!
