Hellobee Boards

Just hanging out and doing nothing .... like ive done all day. Sooooo bored!

Hello! I took the day off today because the DH got his wisdom teeth out today. I just picked him up about an hour ago. His cheeks are all puffy and he's talking weird. He's so cute.

Hey all! I'm reading my trash book - "bed rest" while DH makes dinner : )

Just hanging out and resting. Have been having a hard time since getting pregnant ( not feeling great and having a lot of anxiety because of a prior miscarriage ). So my super awesome neighbor made dinner for us so I'm waiting for hubs to get home from work so we can eat it. Then I'm going to take a unison and try to relax enough to sleep.

Phew. Just put the baby down and took a mini nap!

I'm at home after a lovely lunch at Benihana's for my husband's birthday!
My 5 week old son is napping and I'm ordering his birth announcements right now! A little late, yes, but this month has been so busy!

@mrs. wagon: Thank you! I am really glad that everyone is here. I've already posted on the miscarriage board. I told my husband that I really think this community will be super helpful and comforting in this whole situation.

@Andrea: Thank you! I am glad to be home. I took a shower and my husband is sleeping. He didn't sleep for 31 hours. Poor guy!!!! One of my friends brought us dinner and we are just hanging out. I haven't been on this site as much as somehting like Weddingbee, mainly because I was used to going there, but now I think that this is the site for me. So much of our focus is on losing our baby and now trying again, etc. The miscarriage board really helped me last night as I was just waiting for everything to happen.

@Jennimac: That's where I was too. I have been on weddingbee almost exclusively up until now, but since my son was born 5 weeks ago, I've been here a lot more.

@miss-spunkin: How is your son doing? How is your recovery coming?

@mrs. wagon: You hit the nail on the head. It's been amazing how many people in our small community have dealt with this sort of thing. I've had so many people emailing/texting me about their story. I'm so glad that everyone is here and supportive.

@jennimac: Yay! Glad you'll be on HB more often! I thougut about you all day yesterday. We're here for ya!

@Jennimac: My son is doing so well, he is a good little boy. He doesn't like being put down though, so either my husband or I are always holding him, the little dear! Sometimes I start getting frustrated, but then I remember how blessed I am and how quickly this time goes by. So I revel in it.
My healing has been slow, felt great at 3 weeks, then kinda started regressing. I can't wait to feel normal again!

Speaking of which, idk if you wanna talk about it, but what was your induction like? Was it physically painful?

Hi all! My LO is 3 months today and she rolled over a few times...hopefully it wasn't a fluke! Right now she is chilling in her swing and I am lounging on the couch.

@miss-spunkin: I bet that is difficult to have a baby that wants to be held all the time, but then you think to the future when they are teenagers and they don't want to be around you and you don't mind holding the baby at all.

I hope you feel normal again because it's an odd thing to not feel normal.

I don't mind talking about the induction. I've actually had several people talk to me about it so far. I'm thinking that I'll probably write a post in the miscarriages section about it. I can give a short version here, but I don't know if that's an appropriate 'post-a-thon' thread.

@banana: Yes, we did name her. We named her Susan Patricia, after both of our mothers. We were asked if we want to name the baby and my husband said that we had lists of boys and girls name and I was hesitant to use one that we had picked out--if that makes sense. I wanted the name to be meaningful, but we were not going to decide the name until we met the baby. My husband picked out the names for a boy or a girl that we would use and it just 'felt right' when we said it.

@miss-spunkin: I actually thought it was good experience. The way they induced me was putting a tablet that usually treats high blood pressure on my cervix. That would cause me to start cramping. They continued doing it every 4 hours. It took 3 doses to get me ready to deliver. My water broke on it's own and my cervix was opening and softening. I remember thinking these are contratctions I'm feeling and then it was time to push. I didn't have to dialate to 10 cm because the baby wasn't that big, but I still had to dialate some. The whole process took less than 11 hours to complete. there are some women that would take days to progress as far I did. It did take a lot of the fears I had about labor away. I kind of look forward to my next labor since my body responded well to this one.

@Jennimac: oh my goodness. You know we'll be here for you! I hope you and your husband find peace.
