    @Goldilocks1107: congratulations and thanks for sharing your birth story! I'm curious about the middle name last minute change....tell us more about that!

    Okay, so I have a question: now that the new thread is created, is that our go-to thread and therefore is this one 'closed?'

    The pacifier situation is working out. I think we're just going to use it in the evening before bed, which is when Nico seems to get a little cranky. And I'll use it randomly if I ever need a quiet baby, if you know what I mean.

    I've also gotten into a new breastfeeding routine. Since he is feeding less frequently, I started having engorgement issues on the boob that hadn't been drained in a while. (He was a one-boob per feeding eater). So now when he unlatches, I burp him and change his diaper and then I give him the OTHER breast. (I used to put him back on the first one again and he would be satisfied with that). And (knock on wood) Nico seems to be settling into an eat-every-3-hours routine. (A bit more frequently during his awake periods).

    Okay, so someone tell me if this thread is closed.

    I'm posting here quick before hoping over to the May baby thread.

    @Goldilocks1107: Congratulations! Audrey Marie is such a sweet name. It sounds like things went so well with your induction, yay!

    @cvbee: Thanks, I think you're right. They're feeling more full between feedings now so I think its still just my body working out supply and demand.

    @blushink: Your feeding schedule sounds a lot like mine right now. She'll give us decent stretches at night but lately has been up and nursing a lot more during the day. I'm not leaky and was never truly engorged so I think that's why I worried, but her wet and poopy diapers definitely prove she's a well fed little one.

    @pastemoo: Congrats - what's the official birthday??

    We're home from hospital. Reese was born on 5/21 almost exactly 12 hours after my water broke - less than 7 hours on pitocin. My contractions weren't picking up at all so we started pitocin but it was just enough to get my body to "get the hint" and start doing its thing. MUCH different from my first delivery.
    After an episiomoty my body literally took over and I didn't even actively push, she just came out! I sat up and watched and it was amazing.
    I posted on the May Baby thread too so there's a few more details over there.
    YAY for May Mamas!
