Facebook group is up, and it's labeled as "secret" so your posts won't show up in your family's newsfeeds. (Cause really, that's painfully annoying.)

 

[Emerald87]

I concur, at least on facebook we can make our group more private

Plus here is baby convo.. and we dont want to lose our thread. Then Ill be forced to socialize in baby club, which terrifies me so.

If you leave me, I'll hunt you all down.

 

[ashiozz]

we're not leaving. =) Promise... well I promise for myself.

I need to find a way to plan my meals using the interwebs so i can better keep track of calories.........

 

[Emerald87]

Girls. I'm scared.

I think I'll be joining the popular c-section club. They can dissect me all they want, I don't give a shit what happens to me. I just want her to be ok.

Ash... www.howdoesshedoit.com is a good one. Has a TON of recipes, you can sort by breakfast/lunch/dinner, remove ingredients from recipes that you don't like, and then you can mark what ingredients you have in your kitchen vs. what you need to buy, and print out a grocery list that matches what you intend to make for meals. It's pretty cool!

I've had 2 csecs, and honestly, I didn't mind them at all. I know I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but still, I was fine in days from both.

With the second placenta, I'd almost be in the "can we schedule a csec to make sure that it doesn't abrupt during labor?" camp myself, but I don't know if you're allowed to do that.

Yeh, the c-sec doesn't concern me in the slightest; I'm only concerned that she'll decide to come before my scheduled one (if I get one that is) and that'll just rupture everything anyway.
BTW I'm toasting marshmallows in your camp - I will be hounding the midwife at my 24 week scan about it. I refuse to take any risks.

I had a c-section! (oh duh we all know this) .. from what I experienced of real labor, the C-section was MUCH easier. all I had to do was lay there on the table while they cut me open and removed the tyler. I wasn't OK as fast as Lia, I was using my pain meds until a week after, but I still have leftovers so I Didnt do too bad. Make sure you understand that laughs, coughs, and sneezes all come from the same place and they will all hurt like hell for a few days, just an fyi..

BUT ... C-sections really arent that terrible.. they've done this forever now and now the scar is SO low it's not even visible at all.. you'll be ok in our club

Colin says he couldn't imagine the muscles on that surgeon to be able to lift out the mega baby

 

[ashiozz]

I really hope it stays attached well, you can probably schedule for 37 weeks and hopefully it'll be all good until then? Yes, talk to her about it, because it isnt worth the risk!

 

[Emerald87]

Okies, so I'll get a better pic on Monday but for now, here's Kaida - as usual with a hand in her mouth (at least its not up her nose this time).

 

[Emerald87]

So far every single sonnographer has said "Wow, such an easy scan with someone who is thin - thanks" Thanks?! Lol it's gotten so bad they have to thank their slimmer patients for making their job easier? Lets see if she references my weight on Monday.

 

[Emerald87]

P.S. She had Daddy's nose

 

[ashiozz]

AWW! KAIDA!!.. yeah weight is an issue i think for a lot of people these days, I know even before I had Tyler, I had 25lbs I wanted to get rid of that I gained since meeting mitch ><

Now I've got 35 ><

Kaida looks gorgeous. I love how you can tell what features they have so quickly, I said from the second ultrasound, that tyler has daddy's nose.. check this out..

HIS NOSE IS A MINIVERSION OF DADDY'S!!!
