Ok, just caught up with about a week's worth of posts!
A huge, massive thank you to all of you ladies who have been on this journey to motherhood with me over the past year, I would not have been able to do it without you wonderful, supportive and special ladies!
And thank you for all of your kind words and well wishes for little Grace!
Milos--I am so happy to hear that Callum is doing so well and gaining the weight he needs. It also sounds like you had a wonderful trip out with your family, and
on having a successful first BF in public---one of my fears for the coming weeks when we step out!
Lil--congrats on being a banana! Lovely news on the nursery progress, I cannot wait to see your pictures!!
Beth-- Congrats on
TEAM PINK!!! I love the story on how you went about findng out, so sweet! Also glad to hear that your appointment went well for the diabetes. Good luck with the echo, I had to have one of those with Grace, it is a pretty quick ultrasound, they just focus on the heart, will be thinking of you!
Sparkle--glad that your consultant appointment went well, very good news on AA's development.
for your stress and emotions right now, I hope you start to feel better hun! You have a lot on your plate right now, totally understandable how you are feeling.
Pixie--Hope you had a great trip with the family!!!
Vix--Awesome news on Libby growing so well!! I hear you on the clothes, just last night I was looking at all of Grace's "newborn" sized clothing wondering if I was going to be able to get her in all of those outfits at least once before she is out of them!! Oh, and thanks for the tip on a grobag, I will have to see if I can find something like that over here!
shell--again, so happy for you hun and to hear of little Freya's birth! I can't believe how close our little girls were born to each other. And so close statwise too! Grace was 7 lbs, 14 oz and born at 7:47 pm! I can't wait to hear your birth story!
Grand--Hope all is well with you and little Indigo, hope to hear from you soon!
Neffie--Grats on 3d trimester hun!!
Be ready, time is going to start flying for you now! Awesome news on finding your pediatrician, and I am also glad to hear the news of your sister-in-law and hope that her bloodwork results come back with the best results!
Anna--hope the MS isn't keeping you down too much!
On the smell issue, this is so true, my sense of smell was so heightened during pregnancy, I would smell things in a room that no one else could, it would drive me crazy!
SamB--so sorry to hear about how things are with you and your MIL. I did not start out with a very good relationship with my MIL when DH and I were married, we even went 2 yrs without speaking to one another. Things are better now, but I totally understand how you feel and how frustrating your situation is. I hope things improve for you.
Oh, and don't think for a second you will be a bad mommy, you will do great!!
Kizzy--good news on Miss Tinks! I LOVE all of the pictures you are posting of her, she is so darn cute, even if you are washing some of her hair out, haha! You have some VERY precious pictures there, my favorite so far is the one with the teddy bear! I hear you on sleeping patterns--Grace is already showing a preference for daytime sleeping and night time activity!
Bean--
for your little man being so brave when he got his shot. I hope things are well with you!!
Bellas/Lisa--thinking of you both and hope to hear baby news from you two soon!
AFM: Grace and I had a pretty active night, she has a tendency not to want to sleep unless she is in my arms, which makes it difficult at 3 am when mommy wants to sleep! She is resting peacefully today, probably just gearing up for another night with mommy! lol She already has her first appointment with the pediatrician tomorrow morning, and I get the staples out from my section on Friday.
BFing is starting to come around, I have loved having the time now to work on it with her. She definitely knows how to latch and suckle, the issue is getting her to be patient enough for it to get to her, as she has gotten spoiled on how fast the expressed milk comes out of the bottles. Vix-I totally understand where your friends are coming from in having issues post-section. The first few days, especially in the hospital, were torture and I was in pain and frustrated and in tears when I would just get her started and then we would be interrupted!
I hope you ladies are all doing great today!
Grace is gorgeous!!! Sorry to hear about the failed induction, but glad to hear that things are going well. Hope you have a speedy recovery, and enjoy your time with the LO.
