Carole, so glad the baby is doing well, I guess he doesn't have a problem latching on, ay?
Glad to hear your healing well too, I was wondering about that since it was your fourth.
The two of you would have probably had 9lbs + babies if you carried to full term! I couldn't imagine!
Nicole, sorry the sweep attempt was another bust, that sucks but completely understandable on the doctor's part. I heard from an ob nurse that newborns don't really "feel" pain. They know something not so great is going on and they cry but it's not really "painful".
Such a busy weekend, house cleaning (which didn't get completely done) Saturday morning, then shopping at the baby consignment shop with my sister in the afternoon. She got me a baby bouncer/vibrating thing, a portable swing, two swaddles, two night shirts with the elastic on the bottom so you just pull it up to change the diaper, and two of the sleepers with footies that zip all the way to the foot (so obvious I don't know what these things are called). Tomorrow night I'll post pictures, I'm too tired right now. Today we did church, watched Jeff's two nieces get baptized, went to the family party afterward, then to my niece's 5th b-day party and got home just an hour ago so I'm ready for bed! Oh, and I'm getting cankles!
I went to the hospital bright and early but they were packed. So we drove around town, took Lexi to the mall playground and I called my dr. to check and see if we should come back (she's on call all weekend). Anyways, she said she was due in surgery and had 3 women in active labor but that we could keep waiting. But, she also said the labor ward was SOOO FULL that they didn't have any rooms, to the point where women were getting triaged in the nursery b/c the triage rooms had women in labor! OMG! So she said even if she was able to do my sweep (during deliveries) that she worried I would go into labor quickly and have no where to really go other than wait through the pain. She said if sweeps work you typically go into labor within 23-48 hours, more towards 24 hours. She told me that they had 10 discharges planned for tomorrow and that would free up rooms and she recommended I come in Monday morning and get the sweep instead just in case it works quickly. I agree, no way in hell do I want to be in crazy active labor waiting on a room! So, I'll just keep hanging out till MOnday. Maybe he wants to make an appearance that day? It will be my bday after all. Regardless I don't think she will let me go passed due date. Blah
