Hellobee Boards

@youboots: that’s coming up! Sorry to hear about the gd and pre e issues.

I dug out all the white coloured newborn stuff from DS just need to get some baby detergent and wash it all.

We’re having babies next month!

@IRunForFun: congratulations! I’m excited to see the first of the September (August) babies Sounds like it was quick and hopefully smooth as well.

I’ve been silently following along and wishing you all well. If you don’t read the other boards, I’m 6 weeks pregnant again and just counting down the days until we hopefully get an all clear on the health of this little one. It’s been a rough journey but hopefully there’s a rainbow soon.

I can’t wait to see more updates as you welcome your precious babies soon!

@JennyPenny: congratulations to you too! I’m wishing you all the happiest of rainbow wishes.

@IRunForFun: I (as I did both of my earlier pregnancies) was fighting preterm labor for most of my third trimester. I went to an appt on the morning of the 16th, was told I was now 4-5 cm dilated and almost fully effaced and had “bulging waters” and my doctor thought there was no way I’d make it through the weekend without my water breaking so she sent me to the hospital so I could get steroid shots for B’s lungs and then did the C-section later that night (while at the hospital I had pretty intense contractions all evening and the nurses in triage kept asking if this was what I’d been feeling earlier and I was like yes, every night for the last month! That’s how I’ve gotten to be dialated.) My Doctor said given my history (several complications with my first two—both of whom were early—she preferred delivering me with the benefit of steroid shots at 36 weeks 3 days than waiting and having my water break at 36 weeks 5 days and risking infection or a vaginal delivery (there were several reasons that had developed that meant repeat c was the plan) and not having time for him to get the steroids.

So here he is! In my arms and on the outside. Two weeks old and perfect.
