January Jellybeans 2013!...

Well dh and I survived our first night home! It wasn't pretty but we did it. We had our first dr appt today and Oliver is looking great, just needs to put on some weight. He's due for his next feeding in a bit and we are going to just see how he feels about nursing and start to reintroduce it a little. We are currently experiencing the wonder of the baby swing and little guy is sound asleep... I wanted to try it during the day to see how he would respond before we try it tonight to see if we can get him to sleep at all during the night. He's a very alert and curious baby and when he is awake he is really awake and does not want anything to do with sleep so we have quite a challenge ahead of us to get his inner clock set!!

Hope everyone is doing well and sounds like we may have another big wave of babies headed our way soon... It's so exciting!!!
 
I think I'm more nervous about having this baby than I was about having ds. Don't think I'll get much sleep tonight! Also still think it will end in a section again. I sat back earlier an it pulled all my mummy muscles tight, and baby seems to be laying diagonally across, so not sure if I can labour with it in that position?
 
Deedee, just trying to work out our time differences. It's thurs here and 5.43pm, what's it there?
 
Dtd with dh and now I'm cramping belly is so hard it's making it harder to get my little thing done before tomorrow
 
All these MIL issues! My MIL has been great so far. It's my mom that's bugging me, LOL!!! She's constantly worried about me, asking what I am eating, asking for pics of the baby in every outfit she wears, staring at me/my boobs as I nurse, not listening about the latch issues and what doctors have said about them, being a little pushy with nursing stuff, etc.

I actually told her to give me some space as I was nursing and after telling her about 6 times why Violet is having latch issues (her prematurity!) and explaining the use of a nipple shield over and over again, she's finally getting it. She's backed off a bit.

She means well. I love her. But some days....

It's 11:46 am here right now! 6 hours. :)

So when I go in at 8am tomorrow it will be 2am there? Do you know when yours will start?

We get on the cervix med tonight at 8 - 9 ish tonight and drip tomorrow morning. Didn't specify time though, now I wish I had asked lol.

You should have Matthew before I have my bean then, good luck! Hope all goes well!

I was started on Cytotec (misoprostol) on the lowest dose at 2pm. I took 3 doses, 4 hrs apart each, before I started cramping bad and dilating a little bit. Then they started pitocin. The cytotec is not so bad. The pitocin sucked. :) Good luck, DeeDee!
 
Yay, when Eva was weighed on day 5 she had lost 9.7% (12oz) of her body weight, but she was re-weighed today and has put back on 7 ounces! The Midwife was very pleased and it shows that for all my breastfeeding pain, she is obviously getting plenty of milk. :-) Tomorrow is possibly my last midwife visit and part of me is sad and a bit scared that I won't have that security after tomorrow. I am such a wuss!

Oh, I think you'll have your bean before me! They officially call it induction 'til tomorrow morning here. By then you'd be started before me.
