I go back to work tomorrow and Kellan goes into daycare. It's going to be a super hard day for me. I predict lots of crying. It has been great being able to stay home with him and am thankful for the time I did have. Lots of great memories I will cherish.

Tasha I hope your delivery went well



I saw both babies today in ultrasound! Both were literally dancing all over the place. Both measured 10w4d ahead of schedule. Heartbeat for baby A was 171 and B was 168. Baby A had hiccups too so it was so cute. we counted their fingers thats how well you could see them! Totally made my day. Doctor told me just to rest up and not worry that everything was perfect

 

[Tasha S.]

Snowflakes: Good to hear from you! I'm sorry to hear about your heart-ache about starting work again, I can only imagine! I remember when my older sister left her firstborn at my parents' for the first time when she had to go back to work, she cried too! It's normal!

May: Thinking of you hun!!

AFM: I'm sorry I didn't get back to you girls sooner! My internet is down (I'm at my parents' right now). My c-section was pushed to tomorrow (Sept 4th), DH and I have to be at the hospital for 7am!

Hey girls! Popping in really quick to say thanks to all of you for your best wishes! I attached a picture of little Anastasia Zoe Schneider! The C-section was rougher than I expected. I'm really tired right now but I'll check in on you girls in a few days to check out how you all are doing! xoxo

OMG she is beautiful! Rest up

 

[stacergirl]

Tasha-a huge congrats!!! She's gorgeous! Love the name! Hope you feel better soon!

Manda-wow you're doing a home birth?! I'm impressed! Will you be having a midwife or a doula to assist?

Hope everyone else is well!

 

[dove830]

Awwww, Tasha, she's just beautiful!
Hope your recovery is going well, can't wait for details

 

[snowflakes120]

Welcome to the world Anastasia!! She's gorgeous Tasha!! LOVE her little birdie outfit FX for a speedy recovery.

 

[MandaAnda]

Stacer, all low risk women are under midwifery care in the UK, so I'll be calling a midwife out. I'll have a doula as well (doulas are birth partners, not healthcare professionals) to protect my space and do whatever needs doing so I can get on with birthing.

 

[Tasha S.]

Hi girls!!!! How is everyone doing?!

May: Any advances on finding a urologist?! I miss you!

Sunny: How are you doing hun?!

Brandy: You already know the gender?!?! That's super early to know, how can they tell?!?!

Stacer: How is everything going with you?!

Dove: How are you doing?! Thank you SOOOO much for your advice on the high-waisted panties and nipple cream, life savers!

Manda: How is your pelvis?

AFM: I'm almost all recovered! I found the cesarean really tough. DH was only allowed in the operating room for 8 minutes (the time it took to pull our baby out, I could hear the surgeons speaking behind the curtain that she was really hard to pull out! It took 8 minutes!!) when the operation lasted about 45 minutes (plus prep time, which took about 25ish min). When baby was out, I saw a flash of her before she was ushered out of the room with DH....and then I only saw them an hour and a half later! I was in the recovery room SOOOO drugged up with others who had undergone different types of surgeries, wondering if I had really had a baby at all! Meeting up with baby and DH was amazing, but the follow-up of the c-section was rough. The nurses were so busy that they were skipping out on giving me meds... I was supposed to get them every 3-4 hours, but sometimes 7 hours would go by with nothing. It took me a while to figure out that they were doing that (like, when I'd wake up crying with pain), and then I had to start keeping track of when I was supposed to get the meds and call the nurses myself! It was horrendous, they lost control of my pain management so then I had to be put on narcotics! I was SOOOO drugged up. And then because the hospital was so full, they sent me home after 48 hours. I couldn't even walk properly or go to the bathroom on my own, and I was still trembling with pain. BUT DH was wonderfully supportive and helpful and little Anastasia was more than worth it, I'd do it all over again for the blessing that she is!

 

[~Brandy~]

Tasha- Ahh I am so sorry that your hospital stay was not top notch But you're right you LO is so worth it I am sure She is beautiful!

They were able to tell the gender with the Maternit21 and Harmony test. Normally its hard to tell with twins unless they are both girls They look for the "Y" and if there is no Y then you have 2 girls. If there is a Y present you have either 2 boys or a boy and a girl.. so we kind of lucked out

 

[MandaAnda]

Tasha, so sorry about the surgery and recovery being so tough. I'm glad you've a gorgeous baby to cuddle on though!

My pelvis is surprisingly good. (Touch wood!) just having to take it easy. Everything else normal and boring, just how I want it.
