July/August (Summer Sunbeams) 2012!

It's not fair for them to ignore your fears because anxiety is not good for you or baby and strep B is definitely not something to just shrug off!

It makes me so mad in this day and age that you have to pretty much chase your own care lest you be treated like a number, in and out of appointments and ignored.

I know exactly what you mean puppy half the time i go to my appointments and they say so what are you here for today, it shouldn't be my place to tell them how many weeks i am and what i need doing that week etc i had this with my anti d appointment it made me so cross i was like look at your computer screen and see for yourself

Congratulations to all the new mummies.

My pink bump arrived at 40+1 on 29th July weighing 7lbs 10ozs. Her name is River and she is perfect.

I didn't get my homebirth as baby had other ideas. I had a really positive induction experience. Birth story is up in appropriate section x

Emz - CONGRATS! There is a birth experience area? Gonna have to look for that. I am still trying to find someplace for premie support.

Hey everyone! Just caught up on all the news here. Congrats to all the new moms!

My lil man decided to make an early appearance and was born on July 29 at 5:18 a.m. via c-section after a 23 hour "unproductive labor." He was 6lb 15 oz 20.75" long and a full head of dark hair. His name is Gavin Edward and he is adorable! He does have some medical concerns and was transfered to Childrens Hospital. He is being followed by a hemetologist due to having low blood platelets and also has low blood sugars. He is 4 days old and has only had a tiny bit of formula so far. Today they are going to start him on a continuous tube feeding. He did get a TINY bit through a bottle today and he LOVED it but was super MAD when he realized that was all he was going to get! His personality is so funny and his facial expressions are priceless! Cant wait to hear about more Sunbeams being born!

Well, tomorrow is the big day for us. Our c-section is booked for tomorrow morning at 8am. We have to be there for 6:15am. Had a total freak out/meltdown today. Just not coping i guess. My DD also has a UTI anf was crying and it was heart wrentching.

Feel better now. DH took care of DD and my mom came over to help out. Im sure I will cry once or twice more before baby is here tomorrow.

Well, i will update when I can.

Good luck to everyone else!

We had our chunky little guy this morning at 8:50am via planned c-section. He weighted 10lbs 8ozs! 22 3/4 inches long. He was crying before his bosy was even fully delivered. He stared peeing as soon as he hit the air and peed on one of the nurses! Lol

He has been amazing. Right now he has been attatched to the breast for a while. Doesnt want to give it up lol

[jmandrews]

Oh wow congrats on all the new arrivals!!! Good to hear that all the mama's and babies are doing well.

My little Everlee is 15 days old now! I can't believe it. BF has come easy and she's gained all her weight back plus some. She was 7 lbs 1 oz at birth, went down to 6 lbs 8oz, and now is 7 lbs 8oz

 

[apple_20]

Lovely name ttcinbc. Jm- wow time flies how is tour lo at night?

 

[DHime]

TTC - congrats! can't wait to see a pic! Love that he peed right off. I got peed on yesterday was suprisingly not grossed out. Dean is great name btw.

Apple - love your pic too! how adorable!

Kozi - how is your LO?

Jmandrews - Yes it flies very fast.

AFM - They got the pathology back from my placenta. The official cause of my early delivery, Retained placenta, hemoraging, and pain prior to labor was an acute placental infection. It is normally caused by to multiple internal exams but I only had 2 internal ultrasounds. (who knows) Anyway my body basically kicked the baby out before the infection could spread to him.
Oh and Tristan is up to 5lbs 11 oz! Newborn stuff is still big on him but at least he is almost out of the preemie sizes.
FX for all those still baking!
