Updating the list because our dedicated list keeper @kjpugs is a MOM now! I'm not sure if she wants to share her precious daughter's name on here, so for now I will just put her birthday!
@ladybee, I added you & your sweet boy as well!

@abbylyn: Good luck! Keep us updated! By the way, it doesn't look like you were on the due date list, but very excited to add you to the babies list hopefully soon!
@TFrances: It's 2 minutes til 2pm PT - hopefully you are holding your baby soon!
As for me... today's my due date, but I don't anticipate having this LO anytime soon. I didn't even have as bad of cramps last night as I normally do, though I had terrible insomnia. I'm doing every old wives tale in the book at this point, and DH already knows he is going to be doing DIY acupressure this evening when he gets home!
PS: Isn't it fun to look at the list and see that we have had a new baby almost every single day since the end of September? I wonder who will be next!
-
@ladybee: congratulations!!! He is precious.
-
@daniellemybelle: thanks for updating the list and sharing @kjpugs: news! So excited for her and hope your baby comes soon so we can add you to the baby list.
hope the acupressure works!!!! And I agree, I love seeing a new baby daily.
-
We have a baby! Lucy Grace was born at 4:14 this afternoon, and everyone is doing just fine.
-
@abbylyn: yay!!!!!! So happy for you!!!!
-
@daniellemybelle: It's so much fun to see all the new babies!!!!
@abbylyn: Congratulations on your sweet girl!!!!!
-
Arthur Dent Hall arrived at 2:30pm today. 9lbs 1oz and 21 inches long. After some puking (me) after surgery, we're both doing well. So far he's an amazing nurser. Hope that continues. Will post more pics tomorrow.
-
@TFrances: congrats!!! He is adorable! I puked the first time they brought LO to nurse. She is nursing and I'm throwing up in this bucket above her. Ah, memories
-
@abbylyn: congratulations! I love your name choice!
-
@TFrances: love those cheeks! I'm glad you both are doing well.
-
AFM, I'm struggling. We are EPing or supposed to be. The c-section was a lot harder on my body than I expected. It's been about 30 hours and the pain has just hit. I was doing so well yesterday with moving and walking. Now my meds have been switched because perkaset (spelling?) made me loopy and unstable. Now I'm trying vicadin but I'm struggling. DS has been in the nursery all night again and I want to get up to pump but the keep saying I need to sleep and to worry about pumping tomorrow. This c-section thing is harder than I thought and I hate not being able to care for DS.
-
@ladybee: I'm so sorry!! We had a rough first two nights at home. We are bf, but we needed to pump because my booba are so large it was difficult for LO to latch on. Yesterday was the first time I didn't take pain meds and my section was a week ago. Hopefully they can find a medicine you feel okay on. Hang in there! I think it is the worst right before it suddenly gets better, which makes it super hard on us. But somehow it works out. Do what's best for you and your LO!
-
@abbylyn: Congratulations mama!
@TFrances: What an adorable cutie. Congratulations!
-
@ladybee: *hugs* Take care of you first. You have a long time to work on your supply but right now you need to heal!
-
Jumping in to update because NOT doing so would be so unlike me! Effie Jeanne was born 10/15 at 7:28 am, 7 lb 12 oz and 19.5 in long! She is so gorgeous and totally takes after her daddy. Labor was super rough but went pretty well- I progressed fast but she didn't want to drop. Was able to deliver vaginally after an epi. 2nd degree tears are making me feel non human still, combined with no sleep. Hoping we can figure out how to sleep when she sleeps soon! This is the most amazing and terrifying experience I've ever had!
Ps- Effie was DH's grandmas name, and Jeanne (pronounced Jean) is my moms name, and my own middle name
-
@TFrances: Look at him! He is so handsome and I love his name!
@ladybee: You poor thing! You have to take care of yourself first. I'm sorry you are in so much pain! Maybe you could try hand expression of they don't want you pumping just yet. I hope the new meds work for you and your pain gets under control soon.
@kjpugs: Welcome to the world Effie! I love her name and she is gorgeous! Tears are no joke, mine is just a 1st degree but it was rough until yesterday.
-
@kjpugs: It was hard for me to sleep in the hospital, so I tried to rest when she was sleeping. And once I got home, I decided I would do anything for decent night sleep, so for the first few days she slept in our arms or on my chest. On her stomach on her chest, and the parenting police didn't get me. Last night she slept all night in her Moses basket (hallelujah) but right now she's back on my chest clutching my boob. You do whatever works for you.
I bought a belly bandit yesterday on the advice of my chiropractor. It's amazing! You are supposed to wear it even with sleeping, so I'm super sweaty right now (so hawt) but the support it gives is worth it.
-
@TFrances: congrats! He's precious!
@ladybee: sorry to hear you are in so much pain. Did the docs give you any other options for pain management? I hope you feel better soon! Agree with @MapleMoose: take care of yourself first.
@kjpugs: congrats! So happy to hear Effie decided to make an appearance. She's adorable!!!
@evansjamie: what does the belly bandit do?
-
@evansjamie: I am waiting on one to come in. It's recommended especially if you have a csection and I'm so excited about it. Glad to hear good things!!!
@kjpugs: so precious!!! Love her name!!!
-
@Sadieloo: The belly bandit is an abdominal binder. My chiropractor recommended it because I carried so high and had a lot of pressure on my hips. It gives your core, legs, and back some support as you heal and helps you shrink. I don't feel as loosey-goosey as I did before.
-
I'm just catching up on all the adorable additions and wanted to say congratulations to all the new mamas!!
-
@kjpugs effie is so adorbs! love the name and her heart slaying smile!
-
Last night was super rough. Arthur woke up every half hour to nurse for 5-10 minutes and then go back to sleep. Plus the alarm on my IV went off three times. Ugh! Not so happy! This morning they removed my catheter and got me up and to the bathroom. That first time is the worst! Finally we both settled in and took a three hour nap between feelings. I'm feeling energized. Hopefully I can get some good awake pics from him today.
-
So we went for a weight check from our appointment on Monday. M&m weighed 8 lbs 4 oz on Monday and I'm proud to announce that since Monday she gained 2.5 oz!!!!!! They like to see a .5 oz weight gain per day, so she exceeded that! Made me feel pretty good considering what a bad day we had last week. We will go back next week and hopefully be back to birth weight or beyond.
-
@kjpugs: Congratulations mama! She's a darling. I have a 2nd degree tear too. I completely feel your pain and discomfort.
@evansjamie: I started wearing my Belly Bandit today. I am able to move easier and I feel less flabby so that boosts my self esteem.
@Jennimac: Good work mama! Your baby is thriving.
-
@abbylyn: @TFrances: @kjpugs: Yay!!! Congrats on your perfect babies! Hope all of you are getting rest when you can & doing okay.
@evansjamie: I've had the belly bandit recommended to me too - I think I might preemptively get one. Even though I am starting to think I will be pregnant forever, haha.
@Jellyfish: Glad to see you around here! How is your LO doing?
@Jennimac: Woohoo!!! You and that baby are both rockstars
@ladybee: Sorry to hear that you're struggling... Hope things get better soon!
-
@abbylyn: @TFrances: @kjpugs: Yay, congrats Mamas!!!
@evansjamie: I'm jealous your little one slept on her own, Josie does not like to be put down and wakes almost immediately as soon as she's out of our arms.
@Jennimac: yay for weight gain!!! We just got back to birth weight today. Never thought I'd be so happy about her weight gain.
@ladybee: I hope you feel better soon!!
-
@Redmini1: It was glorious. I hope it wasn't a fluke. She's going through her first growth spurt and has been so fussy, refusing to be put down or even let Daddy hold her much.
@daniellemybelle: I hope your girl comes soon! The Bandit is amazing. I got the BFF on the recommendation of the salesperson because I could use it longer (apparently you shrink fast while wearing these).
-
@evansjamie: agreed hopefully it sticks... Inspired by you, we just took a nap and instead of holding her I laid her on the couch and then slept right next to her so she couldn't go anywhere. We got a good two hours of sleep for both of us!!! I see co-sleeping will probably be in our future.
@daniellemybelle: rooting for your baby girl to come soon!

Updated list! It's crazy that we're only halfway through October, but most of our active members have had their babies!

@MrsMed: Did you used to go by @Corilyns? I was doing some list housekeeping and it looks like that may have been your old username...?
This might be the overdue pregnant lady in me that's turning me into a list Nazi... but how do we feel about taking some of the ladies that haven't commented in months off the list so we can see how many babies we really have left in our current group?
-
@daniellemybelle: hi! I used to be @corilyns.
-
@MrsMed: I thought so! Thanks - mystery solved
-
@daniellemybelle: sounds good. Can't wait to see you updating the list with your info!!
-
@daniellemybelle great idea! let's keep that list updated!
-
I think... I THINK... this might be it. Burning/pulling pain in my lower abdomen (not really crampy, actually) lasting for 45 seconds or so, every 7-8 minutes. They have a definite peak to them. I'm hoping this keeps up, but I am doing to do my best to get some rest...
-
@daniellemybelle: yes!!!! I have no idea since I didn't actually have to go into labor, but yes!!! Glad your body is doing something!!!
-
@daniellemybelle: very exciting! I hope this is it. Keep us updated if you can. Come on baby!
-
@daniellemybelle: I hope this is it and you are in labor!
