Mighty... I added you to our list on page one for record sake. Hope that's ok.
 
Aw, thank you mail! I'm honored. :) I've been so nervous to even think about getting added, but had my appointment today and it went so well!

Cole-Cat is measuring 8+4 with hb 179bpm. :happydance:

Got my new OB today too. Put all the deets in my journal if anyone is interested. (Sometimes I feel like I'm just rambling.) :)


So so so happy for Twinkie! Lil boy looks too precious!!
 
Morning everyone (if you can call it that!), Little guy is such a good baby! His blood sugar was a little low at birth, so he had to get a bottle in the nursery, but other than that he is doing well! I don't know what all DH poster but he was born at 9:48am and weighed 9lb 6oz. I was pretty much all baby and fluid! When the.Dr broke my water he had to ask for another towel because it was running onto his shoes! Little guy ended up changing to footling breech, so was born feet first :) My Dr said he thought we made the right decision, that he didn't think little guy would have turned and if he did the cord would have probably got tangled. I am glad I started with the c-section! I am starting to get sore, but I haven't had any pain medicine since the morphine they put in my spinal. I am sure once I get more pain meds today I will be fine again :)
 
Glad all went well Twinkie! Saw your little guy on fb. So precious! And wow, 9 lbs 6oz, I'd be glad I had the section too lol. Glad the pain isn't terrible. Hopefully you will be up and about in no time
 
Twinkie we are so happy for you. We saw his picture on fb. Thanks for the details when I get home I will add them to the thread info. Have to head out for a horse show. Hoping my girl and her boy kick ass. Make sure to get your meds! Lol anytime they will give them to you take them. Lol
 
Wow, he was big! No wonder he wasn't turning, he probably didn't have room! Glad you are happy with your c-section, it seems like it all worked out so well for you! :) I hope they give you pain meds soon, I know I was taking mine religiously until day 3!
 
Thanks gals! I had a bit of a hormonal meltdown last night. I was beyond exhausted and little guy kept wanting to nurse every hour or so. My milk still hasn't came in, so I finally asked the nurse if we could give him a bottle. Well sobbed is probably the more correct term. So he spent the night in the misery and had 20 ml of formula. They brought him back once for me to nurse, which I did, and I sent him back again. I hope today is better and I hope my milk starts coming in or there is no way I will keep up breastfeeding, DH is already telling me I am starving him and I am beginning to think he is right!
 
aww twinkie, you poor girl! i bet you are exhausted. your milk will come in. it took me 3 days after birth for mine. ds also said i was starving baby and we gave him bottle in hospital. don't feel bad, you are doing your best! you have to take care of yourself too. you've just been through a major surgery and it's important to rest so you can heal. we had ds in nursery too. by that time i hadn't slept for 37 hours and was delirious, lol
 
the babies dresser arrived and it is PERFECT. love it so much. i went through ds's old baby clothes yesterday and realize that he has all summer nb clothes. oh darn, guess i gotta buy more nb outfits, lol! i've already bought 3 yesterday at carters online. they had 25% off everything!! i do believe i've found the coming home/picture outfit for the hospital. will have to see if its as cute as the picture.
 
mail, glad your daughter did well riding yesterday. saw your post on fb. you must be a proud mommy. :)
 
Twinkie... Feed your baby and don't stress. The stigma of bottle feeding is ridiculous. Heal, rest and don't fret. Either way your baby will be fine. My two were bottle fed. They are very smart, healthy, athletic and all around fine. So if they can be fine with all formula Liam will be fine with some.

Moter... Can't wait to see the nursery put together. I am very proud of my daughter. She did a great job. Next weekend we have to go to a horse show were Dhs family lives. Excited because it is a big show but don't want to see the inlaws.

How is everyone else?

well said mail! ds was bottle fed too due to his colic and he is very healthy. i can count on one hand the number of times he's even had a cold in his 2 years 4 months of life.
 
Thanks gals. I am just overly hormonal right now. I pretty much cry for no reason. I have cried in front of 2 or 3 nurses, my Dr, and the pediatrician on call who I had never even met before! Don't get me wrong I am a crier anyway, but not usually this bad. The whole breastfeeding thing shouldn't even noher me so much DS was formula fed! My mom said I need some happy pills and she is probably right, because I am seeming pretty crazy right now.

Funny story though, the pediatrician was concerned about Liam's head size (It was 15 inches at birth!) Well she walked into the room and looked at DH and said oh I am not concerned at all, he just has dad's head, LOL. Well then the Dr left the room, but later the nurse came back and said the Dr asked her to remeasure liam's head and wanted her to measure DH's head too LOL.
 
i bet it's from the pressure everyone puts on you about bf'ing. i had a TON of pressure to bf and planned on it, but it just didn't work out. once i decided not to, i kinda had the f-you attitude if anyone had a problem with it. try not to let others get to you. you will do what you feel you can & think is best. NO GUILT about it!!

bwahahahah on head size! ds's head size was 15.5" at 2 weeks old. don't know what it was at birth, but it was big. dh kept asking the nurses what was wrong with his head, haha! no one said anything about the size though. dh's dad has a huge head also so we assumed that's where it came from. i don't think it's anything to be concerned about.
 
Congrats so much Twinkie! I'm sure things will get better as things settle down as everyone adjusts and gets into the swing of a new baby. Much congrats though... :happydance:

AFM - well... AF has arrived, surprisingly she's not being very mean. Just a little bit of cramping and pretty light so far... which is nice for once. Hopefully it'll last... lol.
 
Sorry about AF Colta

I don't have pressure to bf, I actually have pressure not to do it. Neither my mom nor DH want me to bf, so both keep telling me just to give him a bottle. DH is a little better about it today. We found out he has only lost 3 oz so far so he is actually doing very well. Last night DH kept telling me I was starving the baby and he refused to help me try to calm him down when he was fussy. He would just hand me the baby and say you are the one who wants to bf.
