Sticking Together Crew

Believe me, I'll be thrilled if that's the case! I'm just trying not to get my hopes up.
At least now I have a list for my hospital bag, so if it would happen, I'd be somewhat prepared.

DS got his "I'm the big brother!" t-shirt in the mail today. He told me he's going to wear it every day. I said, "But you're not the big brother YET." He said, "But I am! I AM!!!!!!"
Okay.

I was determined up to a certain point that we wouldn't pick a name until we saw her face, in case a certain name didn't fit her, but it took us SO long to pick one, that there was NO way we were going through the stress of picking another one, so she was an Eden whether she liked it or not xx

 

[sspencer99]

Still no news from Logan

Aww Jen thomas is just too cute I live him hehe

How's ur app gone xx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Yeah, I haven't heard anything else from Logan. Hope everything is okay and she's just bonding with peanut. I think she had said she was debating on whether to take the computer or not... but if she went straight from the dr to the hospital... probably didn't have anything with her and had to have DH bring her stuff!! And isn't her dr/hospital like an hour from home?
Anyway, Logan, hope everything is going well!

My appt was boring. BP, fundal height, baby's hb, everything fine. No internal. I didn't mention I have been having BH because I'm sure that's what they are and they're not causing problems or anything. So basically I'm pregnant for six more days!

It was weird being there, though, and knowing I won't go back for seven weeks... With DS, we were just waiting for labor and dilatation and all that, so even when I had gone on my EDD, we still scheduled another appt in case the baby didn't come by then.
It was weird to just say bye and everyone was saying good luck and stuff.

oh congrats logan on baby boy!!! cant wait to hear all the details..

 

[FloridaGirl21]

Logan announced her son's name on FB! 'Bryce Jarett' I love it!

 

[DrGomps]

ooh what a cute name...miss you logan....can't wait to see pics..

how is everyone else doing?? Josie had a bit of conjunctivitis and had to take her to the Dr to get drops...but I got to find out how much she weighs...she is 15 lbs (between the 90th and 95th percentile) and is 23.5" long (between the 25th and 50th percentile).

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Aww, 15 lbs sounds nice and healthy. Hopefully the drops will clear her right up. I had that once and it was no fun waking up to an eye that was crusted shut. Ew.

Awww, Bryce is such a cute name!! Yay!!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Aww that's a lovely name! Can't wait for pics - I can't believe I don't have logan on fb! xx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Nothing exciting for me... probably pack my hospital bag this afternoon...

[Sun_Flower]

Mine's going ok - stayed at my mums last night as OH went off to London to pick up a piano for my Grandad (yes random, I know!) going to my grandparents for dinner again tomorrow afternoon, other than that not got a lot of plans. Doing my Big 5 fast again for lent this year (don't know if you remember me doing it last year - can't believe I managed the whole 40 days even when I found out I was pregnant like, 2 weeks in to it lol) so from Wednesday it's goodbye to Cheese, Chips, Cake, Chocolate and Crisps for the 40+ days between then and Easter. Hoping to raise more money again for Breast Cancer research, plus it'll help me lose the baby weight!

 

[QueenVic]

Thats great Raych I'm impressed!

I'll do chocolate again like last year, which is the first time I've ever been able to do it !! And is going to be VERY hard this year as I've had it nearly every day since I was about 6 months pregnant !

I've just expressed 5oz so I can have some red wine this eve, whooop !!

Enjoying Mum being here she's been such a help as we've had some sort of appointment or other every day and I don't know wat I would have done on my own ! And she helps with all his crying phases and nappys obviously..

Got to go to Steves fams tmrw for lunch, dreading it, have managed to put visitors and things like this off while I get used to things and while Harry is so unsettled in the days but can't get out of this! There'll be 9 adults there and dogs, which I'm not a fan of, urgh...

On the plus H slept for 5hrs straight last night then another 3 !!
He fed every hour throughout the evening before bed last night though so that may have something to do with it ??

Love to all and hope Logan is well !!??

xx

 

[sspencer99]

Hey vic great to hear from you xx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Well, didn't pack the hospital bag yet... apparently my nesting directed itself at DS's legos instead. And the LR floor. So that's something. But I'm thinking the bag might be more important than the legos...

Stacey, is Mo home yet?

Rachel, you're a brave woman, doing that again! Haha good thing you call them "biscuits" and not "cookies" or I feel like you'd have to give those up, too! I could never, ever do it... I love my sweets (and cheese!) too much! But I know you'll do a great job and raise some money, too!

Haha Vicki, I remember you said you were eating loads of chocolate. I have been, too. Hopefully won't crave it so bad when I'm not pregnant... are you still eating it a lot? Maybe Harry will be an absolute angel while you're out and he'll just get passed from person to person and you can just sit back and relax... take a little nap with your eyes open! (I totally used to do that when we went visiting in the early days with DS. After all, they don't even notice you once you have a baby!!)
And yay for some good sleeping!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Haha good thing you call them "biscuits" and not "cookies" or I feel like you'd have to give those up, too!

and that, Jen my dear, is one of the reasons I love Great Britain

 

[lilrojo]

Thank you all for all the well wishes.. Sorry been MIA.. Got home yesterday and have been busy with my dd and visitors.. as well as my baby boy and trying to heal..

So in a short had appt at 130, baby's hb was down and was actively contracting, did the nst and dr said it was okay but he wanted to just keep me.. I was 3cms and head was really low.. walked with him to the hospital and called my family.. got hooked up to iv at 430 and had to have that for a bit before getting the epi, which i will never get again.. didnt work right had to do it twice and it wore off before i even started pushing.. got checked and was 4, water was broke, then went from 4 to 8 in an hr.. started pushing at 8pm he was born at 8:08 with cord around his neck.. been going great since though and happy to have my family home

Thats the short version on the birth..

Postpartum is hard with the hormones, bleeding is tapering quite a bit, soaking helps with the tear.. had a second degree tear down the middle ouch.. boobs are rocks as milk came in, now to dry up lol as bottle feeding.. will get some pics up soon.. have to copy and paste my story lol..

 

[sspencer99]

Glad to hear all is good Logan but ouch on the tear
