December Rainbow Babies!!! Congrats New Mom scoobydrlp PINK!

[grenouille]

Ohh Kate that's exciting! I'm sorry you won't get the natural delivery you wanted though, but it's all for the best for you and your baby Good luck!

I feel like I have soooo much to do before the baby comes, and now I have a cold So I'm really hoping baby doesn't come early, I really don't want to have to go through labour with a cold..!

I'm really excited for the babies, can't wait to see pics. It's all happening so fast!

Crystal, good luck. I hope the doctors can solve the problem easily. *hugs*

I am a little upset about not having a natural delivery but its whatever is best for me and Harvey and I have heard it isnt too bad a recovery from a planned C-Section. Im sure by Christmas I will be back to my normal self

Congratulations JustKeep!! Can't wait to see all these beautiful babies!

AFM- the hematologist dismissed my elevated anticardiolipin iGg and said that it is transient and may not even be there next time. One little thing (sarcasm) that he didn't even mention to me was that I tested positive for Homozygous MTHFR two variants on c677t. Looks like I'll be meeting with a bunch of doctors over the next few months :-/

Crystal, sending you a big hug and I hope the doctors can find a solution for you xxxxxxxxxxx

Congrats Justkeep!!! How exciting! Can't wait to see some pics.

Grenouille, I have a cold too and it's really kicking my butt! REALLY hope I can get over it before I go into labor, otherwise it will be much more exhausting :/

Kate, as long as he is healthy and you are safe, that's most important, but I completely understand how you feel about not getting your natural birth - that has been one of my biggest fears this pregnancy. I am holding my breath until I reach 37 weeks next Saturday!

Crystal, good luck with your upcoming testing. I am sure it will be a trying time but I hope it all proves to be helpful toward your motherhood journey

As for me - I still feel like there is so much to do. I've been sick for about a week and a half now and it's making it so hard to get anything done. We finally got the baby's room cleared out and painted, but our carpet is on order so it could be several weeks until it can be installed. Fingers crossed it's on the quicker side as we can't put the crib together, fill the dresser, etc. until that happens. I am having visions of fishing clothes and diapers out of bags in the closet if she comes early!

Next week will be so busy, my niece's birthday is this Saturday, my birthday is next Tuesday, Thanksgiving is Thursday, and then our anniversary is the following Saturday. Hope to get through all that so we don't end up with another occasion in that week. I will be happy either way but it would be really nice to have at least a little time in between!

Hope everyone else is well and gearing up for their big days!

Crancherry, we're pretty much at the same point. Our nursery is painted, but we still need to sand, stain and varnish the floors before we can put any furniture in. OH is sanding the floors right now. I can't wait to have a place for all that furniture, it's all in our bedroom right now and it feels like such a mess!

As if there's not enough to do, I'm trying to get all my christmas shopping done (thank god for internet shopping). If I don't do it now, no one will get gifts from me this year! lol I just don't like the fact that it's all going on my credit card in one big chunk.

Time to go hang the reusable diapers outside

She is so beautiful and tiny!! I bet you are chuffed to bits

 

[Justkeeptryin]

I really am chuffed to bits with her, I feel like Im still on a high and living on adrenaline. You'll soon see how it feels.
Dont beat yourself up about a section. Im not saying its an easy option at all and your recovery will be a bit more difficult but during my labour it was so intense I kept saying to my husband I wish Id had a section. Ive also got the stitches to contend with and feeling very sore. The most important thing is getting the baby out safely. My milk is starting to come in aswell and my boobs are massive and sore and rock hard. Im bottle feeding so hoping that the milk production stops. The midwife told me today not to stimulate the breasts at all even with the shower and it will stop.
I think thats when the baby blues can set in aswell when the milk starts. The midwife said its perfectly normal to feel tearful and have a good cry.

Justkeeptryin: BEAUTIFUL pictures! Big congrats!

Kate: Friday is so soon, so excited for you

Crystal: Hope you get more answers!

 

[grenouille]

Lovely baby!! Congrats again

 

[Nitengale]

Grenouille: hope you feel better hun!

JUSTKEEP - Emilia is beautiful!!!

And thank you to ALL of you ladies. I'm hoping they can find answers. It's all a bit scary and I've even informed some family members since I'm homozygous it means that I got one variant from each parent... so it's a lot of people to inform for testing. They may or may not have it as it comes about later in life sometimes. I'm guessing my daughter will have to be tested. But as all other things, what happens lies in the hands of God and he himself will choose what is best for me.

Thanks again! And I'm still stalking!

 

[MightyMom]

Beautiful pictures Justkeep!

Kate: I'm sorry you have to get the c-section. I have placenta previa and will probably need one too. I'm super bummed, it's not what I want. I hope everything works out as well as possible for you. Can't wait to see baby Harvey!

Crystal: Hope they can find some answers for you. I know how frustrating it is without them.

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Thanks ladies, I really cant wait until you all have your babys and experience this. Its amazing. I still cant believe that Emilia is here and real as I thought it was always too good to be true. She's going to be spoiled so much.I couldnt be happier with her.
Its lovely all of our family and friends reactions too, after our losses it makes her extra special.
Cant wait to keep watching to see whos going to be next after Kate x

 

[Leliana]

Congratulations Justkeeptryin, she is absolutely gorgeous!! You look fantastic too! I hope I look as good as that after I've given birth

Kate - I'm sorry to hear you have to have a C section but how incredibly exciting that Harvey will be here soon! I can't wait to see pics. I'll be thinking of you
