January 2013 babies!!! Happy New Year!

[Celestine]

Hi ladies,
Its been about a month since I posted here and I was wondering how everyone is doing? This Jan thread is extremely slow!!

Anyway, to provide an update...I had my glucose test and I think it went well as I have not heard anything back from my Dr and LO seems.like he is doing well. He gets very active at times which makes me wonder just what the heck he is doing in there. LOL

Hope everyone is doing well and can find the time to check in.

Hi everyone,

Celestine, so happy you passed the gd test. I've never had gd but I understand it is no fun at all.

I am 22 weeks along now. I had the anatomy scan ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. We resisted temptation to find out what we are getting so are still team yellow. Baby is looking really good. I was nervous since I am "geriatric" now and it seems that over and over I hear about the risks of genetic and other abnormalities in mothers over 35. But so far, so good, and I am very grateful.

I am still feeling well. Been having some low back pain, and I really need to be careful of what I eat because I tend to bloat up to the point of being really uncomfortable.

How are the other January moms to be doing?

Afternoon ladies.. All is well here and my next midwife appointment is on Friday morning. I have to have a GTT but its not until the end of October.. I thought they might have done it a little earlier? What do you think?

Hello everyone, is anyone still checking in?

Hey, I'm still here, and we have the same due date! I have my glucose test tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it at all. With the other two it always made me feel sick for the rest of the day. Anyway, we're having another boy, and have already named him Grayson. I'm also having tons of BH and am so tired I can hardly stand it. I managed 7 hours of sleep lastnight and took a nap today, but I can't shake the exhaustion. How are you feeling?

IF I get a good night's sleep ( and that is a big if), I wake up feeling great and energetic. But I get worn out throughout the day and I can barely climb the stairs at bedtime. Plus am overdosing on Tums most days due to heartburn.

I know I should be exercising ( I was pretty good at going for walks up until about 3 weeks or so), but I just can't find the time or energy.

We don't know what we are having but have agreed on a girl name. A boy name we both really like is Mason but I just learned it is extremely popular and I am not sure how I feel about that. My oldest son is Tyler and I like to joke about having a Tyler and a Mason- we really support the trades! Har dee har har...no one else thinks I am as funny but I do amuse myself sometimes

Hello ladies! I wanted to check in to tell everyone that I had my beautiful baby boy, Christopher Elijah, on January 1st! He is perfect in every way and I consider my husband and I so very blessed.

Today is my 1st day back at home and it has been quite hectic with the baby. For any FTM reading this: Sleep? What's that??? No matter how much you prepare, you never can prepare enough!! Trust me...if you still have anything to do regarding the baby's arrival at all...do it now! LOL That may include getting your meals precooked and ready to go for when you come home or just getting the last minute things such as a nipple cream if you plan on breastfeeding. You can NEVER go wrong by having the smallest details checked off your To Do list.

Anyway, I pray you all have healthy babies, easy deliveries, and speedy recoveries! Take care everyone!!

Congratulations Celestine!

What time on the first was he born? Was he one of the first to welcome in the new year at your hospital? How exciting for you! Enjoy every moment you share with your new addition x

Im still waiting... my due date is not until Thursday but I thought that she would have come earlier. My DD was 10 days early, no such luck here though. On a brighter note, im feeling just fine and dandy.

Mrs. A: We arrived at the hospital at 6 AM per Dr orders as he was scheduled. He did not cone into the world until 10:16 AM and was indeed the 1st baby born at the hospital. They made such a fuss over him that for a very private person (me), it was pretty overwhelming.
But I relaxed and just enjoyed what will probably be a once in a.lifetime experience for me.

I am so happy you are feeling well and it is any day now for you. Yay!!! Pls try and come back to update when LO arrives. Hope it happens soon!
