I didn't sleep worth crap last nite and work was long so just jumpin on to say hi. Hope everyone is well. Did great on my exam and scored a 98% in the class. Whoohoo let summer break begin!!!

Csunshine - Hope you get everything together this weekend.
Dmn - I know how Lucie feels. I don't like the high humidity either.
Meldmac - Hang in there! The group B is minor since you caught it early. Your LO will be here soon and a whole other set of worries will come along lol. You'll do fine.
Melsue - You got a LO yet chic?
Kelly - Have you signed up for the Pampers, Huggies, or Luvs coupons? I did at the beginning of all my pregnancies. The coupons save you a ton especially when you can catch them on sale too. We've already stacked up several boxes in different sizes. Hope ur prenatal classes go well.

Sorry if I missed anyone. Goodnight!

I have signed up for a ton of things for cupons and free formula and goodies and such.

Meldmac something like 80% of people test positive for group b. As for the bladder I hope it's not that.

I am sure melsue is fine, although I am excited to hear from her.

Sorry ladies... Ive been busy... LOL... I havent been on the computer lately because Ive been exhausted.... Yes we had our Lil One - Liana Grace on June 1st at 3:16pm she was 7 lbs 6 oz. and 20 3/4 inches long... She is sooo precious and we are in love... I'll put up a few pics....

I was sooo hoping to have a June baby and I got one!! Barely... The weekend of the May 31st I was just so uncomfortable and on the 31st I said to my husband we have to put that bassinett together tonight because that is the only thing we will need right away... So we put the bassinett together at 11pm on the 31st I went to bed at midnight and my water broke at 1am.. I thought I peed myself because I was just drifting off to sleep and then I couldnt stop the flow and it keep happening, so I yelled for my husband to bring me a towel and got to the bathroom and noticed bloody show and I just sat on the toilet and he was in the shower, so I had to calm him down a bit, LOL... Told him all of the things we needed to get together because I had Liana's bag packed but not mine, dummy me... So I took a shower and then got a bunch of my stuff together and then was admitted to the hospital at 2:30 having mild contractions... Spacing 7-9 minutes apart... Needless to say they weren't regular so they let us sleep for an hour and a half and then put and IV in and started potocin to get the contractions going - and then they were going, she uped the dose every 20 minutes... when they started the pictocin I was 2cm and then I was yelling for the epidural by 1 and a half hour later because I was getting contractions 1 minute apart and sometimes 2 or 3 would come at the same time with no break in between, so they checked me and I was 5cm and they gave me and epidural which was HEAVEN... I dont under stand why anyone would stress their bodies out and the baby to do it all naturally.. maybe its not so bad if you have regular contractions on your own but when you get induced with pitocin its soo much more intense, from what they told me... So an hour and a half after I got the epidural I was fully dialated and started to push and I pushed for about an hour before the dr came in and I delivered her... It was an awesome surreal experience and I would do it all over again for this precious lil girl....

Anyways, Im really sore because I tore and have lots of stitches, the dr wouldnt tell me how many exactly, but I have them in the muscle and on the outside layer of skin... So ive been having to do all of these extra things like sit on a sitz bath and use numbing oitment.. and Ive been breastfeeding which is great but my nipples look like theyve been thru a war zone, she seems to be latching on great now but because in the beginning its so new, they got cracked and blisters, ect and I ended up with mastitis the other day 101F fever and pain and redness in the boobies and pain throughout my body, I went to the drs in tears and they gave me antibotics and more pain meds.... So its been a trial thats for sure but totally worth it.... I dont have time to read back at whats going on with everyone else, let me know if anyone else delivered.. I'll check back in soon... I hope everyone is doing well..... Hugs to you all!!

 

[westbrja]

[Kelly9]

Congrats melsue! She's gorgeous! I can't wait for the groups first boy to be born! Wannabe you should be next!!!!!

 

[Melsue129]

Thanks ladies.....

Wannabe - I feel your pain that is how I felt exactly before I delivered... I was cranky and emotional and sooooo ready to give birth because I was sooo uncomfortable... So hang in there and just sleep and get your rest, who cares about all the cleaning that needs to be done. It will be there another day, dont worry about it... Please SLEEP NOW!! because when your lil one comes out you will not get any sleep, believe me I know now... soooo tired right now.... So rest up... I gave birth at 39 weeks and 3 days so you could go anytime... Hang in there.!!!

 

[wannabeamom]

40 weeks is a long time to be pg

 

[westbrja]

40 weeks is a long time to be pg

Amen to that sister...I'm having a crappy day today. My feet are swollen, my back hurts, and baby is so high up that I can't even breathe while standing up...UGH!!!

 

[Kelly9]

My guy is low! I haven't really had the breathing issues, no swelling issues either. I have been so lucky in most areas.

I am also contemplating a box of godiva chocolates tomorrow... yum, I had a dream about them last night.

 

[westbrja]

Yeah well even tho I've only gained 7 lbs I feel like she must be 22 inches cuz she punches my bladder and kicks my ribs at the same time OWW!
I think I had swelling today cuz its over 80 degrees and humid as hell.
I'm not much of a chocolate person but I am trying to get up the energy to go cut up a watermelon and cantaloupe. It sounds so good but I'm exhausted from work.

 

[Kelly9]

I had another awesome nap to which I woke up to the smoke alarm going off, DH cooking! I think something spilled on the tray at the bottom of the oven so much change that tonight once it cools down some.

Meant to get all sorts of reading done but got 5 pages! Sigh, will try again later tonight, wanted to get 65 pages done! The fact that most of the good tv is done now should make it easier.

 

[wannabeamom]

yup 40 weeks sure is a looonnnngggg time!!! got a feeling though it may end up being 41 or 42 weeks with this stubborn fella!!

in the process of trying to pick a name for him but its sooooo hard we havent got a clue, i guess still stick to the original plan of waiting till hes born
