Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[BERDC99]

Twinkle-congrats he is cutie. Yours baby weighs a much as olivia does now at almost three months.. It took me a day or two to start making milk. Don't sweat it.

Mail-Finn is going to be a boy.the countdown is on till the walkers are back on. Seen they will start playing season one on Saturday 13th and season two on Sunday leading up to the season premier. I can't wait.

Colts sorry af got you. Start dtd as soon as she leaves. We always done it every other day until after I populated and it worked both times for US.

Mighty-things are looking good.

Menb how are you and the twins?

Afm- Olivia is sleeping better she slept from 930-530 last night. I have pulled a muscle in my back some how. I have seen the witch again for the second time now in a month. Just wish I could get straighten ed out.

I think you should start breast feeding and then give him a bottle after til your milk comes in. Maybe that will help. Mine never came in so after that advice I have nothing. Lol good luck and tell everyone to leave you alone. It's your decision. And send your hubby to get you a beer. I have heard that helps.

Berdc.i can't believe Olivia is almost 3 months. Crazy how time flies. As for walkers.... We were just talking about that. Crazy excited. We just finished watching season 2 on DVD Wednesday night with our neighbors. They hadn't seen season 2 yet. I told dh that our luck Finn will decide to grace us during the walking dead and I will have the tv on during delivery. Lol we get 16 episodes. I am just glad that there is no chance of him interrupting the season finale. I just can't wait to finally meet michonne (the person that saves Andrea) and see what happens with the group. Gonna be an amazing episode.

Afm... Still sick. Hoping by tomorrow I will feel better. Felt slightly better today but think its the Claritin I took. Still have all symptoms other then my nose running. Gonna be a long week. Finn is kicking like mad. We are able to feel,his feet from time to time. I never expected to have this amount of movement this early. Maybe because he is large? Who knows. Two weeks to my next scan/drs apt. Getting another glucose test and my 4d us as well. Plus seeing the dr that seems to be most proactive on making sure Finn doesn't suck me dry. I am pretty sure he will induce near Christmas. If that's the case I have about 12 wks left. Super ready to hold my boy.

OMG Twinkie YOU ARE NOT STARVING HIM!! AAAAAAARRRRRG!! The misinformation about BFing just really p***es me off!!

Ok, here is how it works. For the first three days, the baby has meuconium inside the intestines. It is a black, tarry stuff that sticks to everything. But God already figured this out, so the first three days, a mother will only nurse colostrum. Colostrum is like super-lube. It cleans all the meuconium out of the baby's digestive tract so that the baby can begin to nurse. Colostrum IS breastmilk. It IS nutrition. Your baby is NOT starving. The baby is born with a stomach the size of a MARBLE, so the baby only needs a tablespoon or so per feeding, which is why they feed so often in the first week. If you try to force them to eat 2mL they usually throw up because there is just no room.
Don't feel bad, you are doing JUST FINE. This is how nature designed it. There is nothing wrong with letting the nurses give the baby some formula if you are too exhausted. Let them take the baby to the nursery for the night and get some rest.
Don't define success on when your milk comes in, most women will see the whiteish milk come in at 3-4 days. The more you BF, the sooner it comes in.

I hope you feel better with a little rest. It is such a hormonal time after birth, you just feel so burnt out for a bit. I felt better when I went home and didn't have to deal with so many strangers asking me questions all the time.

Also, babies born in hospitals lose more weight than home-birthed babies. It is believed that it is due to the fact that you are given an IV which fills you (and the baby) with a bunch of fluid that neither of you needed. So you can expect your little man to lose some weight that he took on while in the hospital anyway.

Yet another reason why October cannot be here soon enough!

 

[baby_bray]

confession! I have definitely been stalking this thread for the last little while.

I am so much more excited about The Walking Dead than I should be lol.
I'm looking forward to Game of Thrones too, it's supposed to start back up just a bit after Baby Bray is due, lol

 

[television]

Im thinking or starting nursery after scan going to do disney bambi, i have already got a few bits just need to decorate and get cot and maybe draws.

 

[baby_bray]

TV- oh my gosh...bambi is such a cute idea. The thought of the song "Love is a Song" right now makes my eyes well up with tears just a little bit. I haven't been overly emotional during this pregnancy, but for some reason the thought of certain Disney songs is almost enough to get me going...my achille's heel is "Baby Mine" from Dumbo....if I even think about the song I start seeing the lyrics and I get choked up...

 

[television]

well ive started buying a few things with thumper on soooo cute so and also blanket and nappy stacker so its my theme now

 

[mailcmm]

Welcome baby bray! New comes are always welcome. Especially ones with great taste in television. Lol love game of thrones. Have read all the books. I think I am the only watcher in this group though, unless mighty is a follower. Walking dead is amazing. (Thanks you berdc for the clip. Hadn't seen that one yet.) thrones will be back in April I believe. So what's your story? If you would like to share we would love to add another member to our little group.

Moter.... Omg 20 weeks!!! That is so awesome. How are you feeling? Tear still all healed etc?

Tv... Yay for 20 week scan. Can't wait for pictures. Nursey theme sounds awesome. I will keep my eyes peeled on amazon uk for Bambi stuff. I didn't think of it before but I should have sent you money to buy me the Phillips avent baby food maker. They don't sell it in the states and I wanted it so bad. Wound up getting the brezza. Oh we'll. hopefully it will work. Lol

Mighty... Are you a walking dead fan as well? So far it's been just me and berdc. I am super stoked about this season. Gonna be intense and Merle is coming back which can't be a good thing. Just when I was liking Daryl now his shit head brother is gonna return. Knew it was coming. Hubby has been reading the comic for almost 10 years so I have some insight as to what's coming. Lol

 

[mailcmm]

I have to go to the drs today. Called the nurse about medicines for my cold which has gotten worse and they said you need to come in. So I am off. The Claritin I took over the weekend just turned my snot into cement for 2 days. Couldn't blow my nose. More snot packed behind it. Thought my head was gonna explode. Finally this am it started draining again but I didn't want to take the Claritin again. Lol been a week with this cold.

Season 3 starts March 31st 2013, been on my calendar for a while haha, I've got a "sticky note" on my Mac when all my favorite shows return.
LO is due the 20th, so I was all excited I'd be on maternity leave, hopefully I'll be able to DVR it or something and watch at my leisure if Baby Bray cooperates.
My story is DH hubby and I met a little over 6 years ago, we were co-workers for a while, really good friends, then started dating. We had an unexpected BFP after dating a few months (I was on The Pill, so it was a *huge* surprise). Our joy ended at about 8/9wks... We were devestated but perservered. We went back on The Pill and we were *extra careful* for a long time. We got married a little over a year ago and we decided it was time to try on our own terms. We got pregnant almost right out of the gate but unfortunately it ended in another miscarriage. Not long after the 4th of July we had another BFP and I'll be 16wks this Wednesday!

DH and I are both in the US Air Force. We both worked as surgical technicians, and I specialized in Urology last year. So he stays up in the Operating Room working and I work in the Urology Clinic and just head up to the OR to help out my docs with just Urology surgeries, but I can only help with some since I'm pregnant. I'm not allowed to help with surgeries that involve x-rays.

I think I just decided this last week to stay team yellow (I never thought I would! LOL) but I love the idea of the surprise! I want to use the motivation to help me get through labor and meet my little one! But my hubby wants to find out. I'm okay with him and the immediate family knowing, we all just refer to baby as "Baby Bray" and everything is pretty neutral anyway, I've never been a pink person, haha. Plus we're asking family to bring any gender specific stuff to the house after the birth. DH's family is very close and my family is making a trip after the birth.

 

[moter98]

hope you feel better mail

 

[MightyMom]

Welcome Baby Bray!

Motor: Hope all goes well at the scan. Don't be nervous!

TV: I am loving the nursery theme! What a cute idea! Bambi is one of my favorites, I like the Rain Song. Very playful!

Mail: DH got me into Walking Dead, can't wait to see how this next season goes. I'm trying so hard to limit my tv shows, but Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice just aired the season openers and I'm so excited to watch those as well. I hope the nurse can figure out how to make you feel better. We all seem to have gotten a head cold and it is ROTTEN to have it when you're pregnant and can't take anything.

Colta: Sorry came. But on the upside, it's a new cycle of trying! I'm very hopeful for you two.
