2016 May Miracles

[busytulip]

Oh man ja that stinks about the insurance I feel like they can be so cold sometimes.

Thank you for sharing your birth story baker. Sending loads of healing thoughts

drjo my LO's had reflux as well as some sensitivities so I would supplement with Nutramigen...it is expensive, but well worth it. I can't believe she's rolling from her tummy already, well done Nora!

Happy Belated due date NZ, you have a great attitude about things. Praying your labour goes well once it kicks off

Awww Spiffy look at those right eyes, Levi is a handsome boy

Good luck sugar. I went over with 2 of my girls 40+4 with both, little stinkers.
Hopefully induction isn't pushed on you.

Sugar I hope you have a lovely birth experience! (quick but not too quick! )

I'm so excited for the last of our May ladies to meet their little ones!!

We're doing pretty good here! Hubby has a cold/allergies so sleeping has been difficult, he's a bit of a baby when he doesn't get enough sleep... but hopefully it will pass quickly!

Any new babies yet!!?

Happy Memorial Day weekend!!

 

[busytulip]

Oh my goodness baker he is so cute!!

NZkiwi .... sugar how are you ladies doing?

 

[sugargully]

Hi, no baby yet! We were driving in the car this morning and I was having some promising period type cramping. I think the heat (no a/c in TX-hubbys working on it) and the bumpy ride brought them on. After getting out the car they went away. I listened to my Hyponobirthing tracks and promptly fell asleep for 2 hours. That felt great and baby moved around a lot. I'm trying to stay relaxed, mindful, and optimistic. Right now I think best case scenario is for my cervix to get in better position and dialate more. I keep wishing for cx or my water to break and it's just not happening.

 

[busytulip]

Aww sugar, waiting is so hard. I hope things happen on their own very soon.

It's so nice to hear how everyone is doing!

Busy - congratulations!!! So happy to read this news!

Sugar - hopefully things start moving for you soon! Baby sounds like he/she is very comfy in there

Ja - sorry to hear about the insurance. That is so frustrating they didn't give you much warning. I hated breastfeeding so much in the beginning with my DD. She had a bad latch and I had so much pain I ended up using a nipple shield for 6 weeks. I will say it does get easier, I think 3 weeks was a turning point and 6 weeks was even better. Both you and the baby are learning and it takes time. But I also firmly believe if it's making you so miserable there is nothing wrong with stopping. I think the breastfeeding issues definitely contributed to my postpartum depression with my DD and I vowed I would not repeat that experience with this baby. I agree with the other ladies the only thing that matters is that your baby is being fed, whether it's formula or breastmilk.

Baker - wow what a birth story!! That was incredible to read! William is so sweet love that picture!

AFM - we are finally settling in. This little guy is such an easy baby compared to his big sister. He mostly just sleeps all day and would sleep all night but the pediatrician has us waking him up every 4 hrs to eat. We go back on Tuesday and if he is back up to his birth weight we no longer have to wake him up at night to eat. My DD has been extra clingy since we've been home but she is adjusting really well, all things considered.

 

[NZKiwi]

I'm the same as sugar, yesterday I had af like cramps and tightenings and so much pressure, then later that night they became a little painful I thought for sure I was in early labour, but alas I fell asleep and they fizzled out. Glad to read things are mostly going well for you em and spiffy. Sorry about the insurance ja.

 

[Em260]

Drjo - sorry I somehow missed your update before. My niece had horrible reflux and they ended up switching to Nutramigen after trying all of the Similac and Enfamil sensitive ones. I think they also put her on reflux meds prescribed by the pediatrician. I used these probiotic drops when my daughter had painful gas and they helped a lot. They are called Gerber Soothe drops:https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Soothe-Colic-Drops-Packaging/dp/B00CQNR64M

Spiffy - that is such a cute picture of Levi! How are the other kids adjusting to having a new brother?

NZKiwi - that sounds like something is happening! Hopefully it gets started again!

 

[Em260]

Are any of you postpartum ladies having night sweats? Mine are crazy this time around I am sleeping on a towel and soaking through it . It's so gross!

 

[sugargully]

Um, I think I might be in labor! Feels like period cramping and it's been going on since 6 this morning. It's uncomfortable but not painful. I'm timing them and they' re all over the place. 40sec to 2 min long 7min apart. This doesn't fit the 5-1-1 the doctor told me was the time to call them. What's crazy is that we're at a car dealership doing a transaction! I haven't said anything to hubby yet bc he has a lot on his plate right now. I guess I'll sit tight a little longer and see if they continue or fizzle out.

 

[bakerh518]

Definitely sounds like labor to me!! At the beginning they are always a bit all over the place!! I hope you get to meet your little one today!!

 

[busytulip]

Exciting sugar!! I wouldn't be strict with the 5-1-1. If they are painful, consistent, and don't fizzle out after a while it never hurts to give them a ring. FX'd this is the start of things!

 

[busytulip]

Em my thyroid went crazy after a few of my babies and night sweats was one of my first signs I needed to get things checked.

 

[Em260]

Sugar - yay! Sounds very promising!!

Busy - thanks I'll email my OB and get it checked. I had these last time too after my DD but not quite as bad and I don't think they lasted this long.

 

[NZKiwi]

Good luck sugar!! I really hope this is it for you!!!!
