yay myra i'm so happy he's home with you now!!!

thanks everyone i'm trying to stay on top of the front page..becca's spreadsheet was a life saver!!!

good luck becca maybe your little one will be next!!!

my contractions have pretty well stopped I have a few every now and then..i do have a headache now but my blood pressure has been fine i'm thinking if its not better tomorrow i'll give them a call but I really just want to avoid cervical checks because the one I got last night was horrific!!!! I don't understand how some people check your cervix and you barely feel it an others make you want to scream and cry more than the actual child birth!
 
Had an emotional moment last night cause both nipples were so sore and bleeding I didn't feel I could safely latch Ethan on for a feed. It was already 7.30pm and a lot of the local stores and pharmacies had already closed for the night. We finally found some infant formula to give him at a 7-11 type of store. Holy mooly the boy can eat! He guzzled down 120ml in minutes! Yikes...I really didn't want to give him the formula but didn't want him to cry for feeding either. DH promised me he is going to do the dishes for me this morning...very sweet! We were both so stressed last night! He is back on the boobs this morning thank GOD.
 
6 sunbeams in the red now...

I think baby has dropped? I can't be sure.... belly looks a bit more 'out' and less all the way up to my boobs. I don't know. I should probably go for a walk or something but really I'd rather take a nap.

Car seat is finally in the car. Kitchen is actually clean for once. Baby is VERY active today... what's that about? Why can't I have any real signs. Something concrete like contractions or gushing amniotic fluid. LOL.
 
Congrats on little Connor's homecoming Myra! You guys must be so happy to have him home with you! :)

LOL yes.. I scrolled through over 100 pages trying to catch all our early sunbeams!! but I'm ocd like that so it was okay. :)

Can't believe your contractions stopped and you had to go home. I'd be freaking emotional!!!! Once I get to the hospital they're going to have to pry me out of there!!
 
Myra, im so pleased you are home, I did stalk you a week or two back as you hadn't been around and found a thread about the hospital keep changing their minds about Connor coming home etc. must have been awful but I'm so glad you are home now, and what a clever boy for putting on so much weight.
I love your photos, very cute!

Libbysmum, glad you got through the night and he got back on the boob today! Phew. You forget these newborn traumas!

Becca, i love how you've got my boys name on the spreadsheet :winkwink:
 
Becca, thanks for keeping the spreadsheet updated... I wish I could tell you my name didn't need to be red anymore, but there has been no change. Still just BH contractions. Still at 2cm and scheduled for an induction at 5 am on Monday, July 8th. I'm so excited to meet my little guy or gal and find out what color our little :yellow: bundle is going to turn... I have packed everything, but I refuse to install the car seat until the last minute... I hope I 'm tempting fate... Just one more full day to go into labor on my own!

Congratulations Myra, on bringing home Connor.... I'm so glad that your long hospital journey has finally one to an end!

I think that's why I kept refusing to finish packing my hospital bag! Hoped that not being ready would encourage the little guy along. No such luck!

So your induction is Monday and Alice's is Tuesday? There should be a few more babies soon come hell or highwater!

Maratobe, lovely birth story and what a chunky monkey!! I think I missed how much she weighed? I'm glad you are all ok and her big sister loves her already, how sweet.
Your photos are gorgeous, I love babies with fat rolls!

yep mine's Tuesday. They're bloody making me wait for this kid aren't they?! lol


Do I have any updates? Umm no. Is it your sciatic nerve that runs from your bum-cheeks down your legs? I swear there's something wrong with mine!

Well it's after midnight so I guess I'm 10 days overdue now. Jason was born at 10 days overdue. Looks like this one is more stubborn than him.
 
good luck Nenna and Alice with your upcoming inductions!

Myra, It is so wonderful to hear Conner is finally home with you! I will admit seeing your pics and hearing you are home made me tear up! It is so great to hear he can finally relax at home and he looks so absolutely happy to be home!

Libbysmum, sorry to hear how sore your nipples are! You really should try a nipple shield for a day maybe to help them heal! I finally got Coltyn to latch on to my nipple without the shield! I was so excited! I will admit they get sore but thankfully haven't cracked. My issue is when he decides not to open his mouth wide enough and gets mad so he clamps down on it! OUCH! I did use the nipple shield again today on the left breast as he seems to have more of an issue still latching on to that one and I want to make sure he eats off both and not just my left one constantly. LOL! I'd end up with one flat breast and one huge one! HAHA! One thing I've noticed is that he wants to eat all the time at times. Not sure if he is gassy and that's what it is, or if he just wants to suck on something. They said not to give him a binki until 3-4 weeks after breastfeeding, but I'm scared to start him on one when we really aren't that great with the entire latching on either. It doesn't take long for him to latch onto the right breast though which I was so happy with!
 
Evan has latching issues too and the bf nazis at the hospital made me feel awful.about it. I had ti tell one to back off and get outta my face! I finally started pumping alot though and he loves it so im glad he doesnt have just formula. And daddy loves feeding him so to me this is fine except the pump kinda hurts :(
 
I had my little boy Harry on Thursday 4th July!! Never been so happy in my life
 
We have some latching issues as well because my breasts are so large. I'm pumping mostly for her now though and feeding with a bottle. My nipples can handle like 5-6 feedings and then it make me cringe. I have a fast let down on top of that so she is constantly readjustment he mouth after we have a comfortable latch. It can be very frustrating
 
Proud, I noticed I have a fast let down on my right one as well, but that's the one he can latch on to well. I just have to make sure I don't squeeze it at all when he's eating or it sounds like he is going to choke he swallows so quickly.
 
My baby boy arrived fast and furious tonight .
Started contractions at 3:15, got ready for the hospital at 5, left just after 6, checked into assessment room at 7 - 3cm dilated, started passing blood clots in the toilet 45 mins later and contractions every 3-4 mins, then wheeled into a room at 845, IV barely hooked up and at 9:07 said I feel like I have to push, and he was born at 9:17.
No time for drugs, no tears/stitches needed and I feel bizarrely good. I think I'm still in shock though lol.
My little man is sleeping on my chest right now... He's like a slice of heaven.
He weighed 7lbs, 14oz, and all is well.
Ill update more later... After I stop staring at him in awe
 
Congratulations beachgal - that sounds like such a wonderful delivery!!!

Myra - so happy to hear Connor is home <3 I hope your adjustment is blessed :flow:

It's nice to hear everyone talking about breastfeeding - I'm so looking forward to it and hoping it goes smoothly.

I had a brutally emotional morning and just shut off from my family a bit :sad1: some shit is going on and it's hard to see those you love in horrible situations :( But DH and I spent some time on the boat and got some maternity shots taken (at 39w+6d...what was I thinking??!!) then went to the beach for the evening with family - so it's turned out OK and I've chilled out :thumbup:
I've been having stronger contractions~but nothing I need to stop what I'm doing for. in the last hour I've had around 7 though! Here's hoping! Good night mamas xo

Woohoo just popped on and what an exiting last few posts :happydance:

Dove, I missed your announcement too but what a big baby! We're you expecting a big one? Hence c section? Or was it a total shock...

Libbysmum, so glad you got our VBAC, poor you having to have surgery but alls well that ends well. How long was your birth from start to finish? All sounded pretty quick. Congratulation on little Ethan and how sweet he shares daddy's birthday.

Counting, :happydance: I'm so so pleased you finally have your little boy in your arms..and what a cutie! Well worth the wait I bet! He's gorgeous. Love the pictures and can't wait to hear more about it.

Tlh, your turn next... Good luck xx

Well after all that exciting news I'm never going to sleep now, just woke up with stomach ache, it's 2:51am.... Too many chocolates last night! :dohh:
