Sticking Together Until We Are In Diapers Ourselves!

[Jrepp]

Cheryl - I can only speak from my own experience. I was dead set on my labor and delivery going a set way, and it was so far from what I wanted. At the end of the day though, once I had Luke in my arms I really didn't care that things didn't go the way I had planned.

Happy 40 weeks Cheryl! All systems go from here.

I hope Leo arrives soon, and that you are able to deliver as close to how you hope as possible.

Happy 40 weeks Cheryl..... Sorry for all these anxieties you have about birth. It's normal esp. knowing that birth is so unpredictable. You are doing great mama.... Like Kenna said, Leo will be in your arms soon....

As for Adam's passport, DH got it last Thursday. We are now going to apply for his residence ID for us to be able to get him a visa then we can have our vacation. We just can't do anything this time as it's now a holiday for all government offices until the 27th. FX we fix all the pendings next week or the next as we're planning to go on the 26th next month for our vacation.

Here's some feel good video for mamas...

Feels like I will actually never have Leo in my arms! For the ladies not on Facebook I had very clear labor Sunday night that fizzled once I got to sleep. Contractions coming at one point every 5-6 minutes lasting 30-45 seconds. I've been having them mildly every so often since then but nothing really picking up. Grrrr! My little ROA baby flipped to posterior for some bizarre reason last week and I think that's been holding things up. I did open-knees-chest yesterday for 30 minutes (not... Fun) and a hypnobabies track and I think he MIGHT be anterior now so hope things will pick back up soon. Even had bloody show yesterday. So ready to get things really going! Although I got tons of amazing sleep last night even through mild ctx so that was nice. Hopefully we can use that sleep to get Leo out!

Hoping he is on his way real soon Cheryl!!!

 

[startd]

Oh Cheryl, that's so frustrating for you. I'm glad you got some sleep, and hope that Leo's ready for action now

 

[WunnaBubba2]

Hoping she doesn't mind but thought I'd let you girls know that Cheryl is in labor. She updated a hour ago when she was at 7-8cm dilated and 100% effaced

I might be too late, but good luck Cheryl! Hope everything goes smoothly. So excited to see the little guy

 

[froggyfrog]

Hopefully leo is here by now and everything went well!!!

Yip Leo made his arrival and according to Cheryl they had a great birth. He is adorable. I'll leave the rest of the updating to her when she can as we don't have much more info either

 

[Kirsty3051]

Congratulations Cheryl

 

[froggyfrog]

Congrats cheryl! Can't wait to see him!

 

[startd]

Yay! Congratulations Cheryl!

 

[mdscpa]

Congrats Cheryl..... Can't wait to see him and hear more about your birth story.

Thanks Pam. You're the best as always.

Kirsty - we don't have long to go! How are you holding up?

Kirsty - we don't have long to go! How are you holding up?

I keep forgetting about this thread!

We're doing okay. DH is 5hrs away on business all weekend, so naturally today is the day that I start contracting. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's just my body getting in some practice before the big day!

How are you doing?

 

[Jrepp]

Kitsty how did being pregnant with baby 2 affect breast feeding baby 1?

 

[Kirsty3051]

Hey Jess.

I still breastfeed Luca the same amount I did before I got pregnant. I've heard a lot of women's supply dries up and/or baby loses interest because the taste of the milk changes as they approach second trimester. I still have a massive over supply and Luca is definitely still interested.

Are you and Ronny considering a small age gap too or just asking out of curiosity?

Holidays are over for DH

Too bad the King extended the govt. offices and schools holiday til the 3rd of next month now we can't proceed with our pending requirements. Time is ticking as our tentative vacation is on Oct 26. Not much to update just waiting for Adam's next shot which is in exactly 14 days never ending TWW.

Here's he is at 2 am in the morning today before feeding time. DH danced him to sleep 45 minutes later and woke up at 7 am for a quick feeding then fell asleep again. I'm starting to have a decent sleep lately thank God.

Hey ladies! Trying to update from my phone as I haven't taken the time to hop on in weeks, sorry! I wish everyone had FB so we could all chat regularly every day. Anyways... Cameron turned one month old! Things are going great! We have been exclusively breastfeeding since birth. He has taken a bottle of breastmilk a few times without a problem but I've been focusing on nursing while I'm on ML. I return to work October 12 and although I'm sonewhat anxious to have our second income back, I'm loathing the thought of leaving my baby OH has been doing amazing with taking care of everything as best he can for the time being. He is an AWESOME daddy! He has been super involved since day 1 and it melts my heart seeing him with his son. Cameron sleeps well through the night (except for the other night, he was up a lot but had slept most of that day so to be expected) and has started waking only once during an average 10pm-5:3am stretch. It's been quite a change, having a newborn after 10+ years but I consider myself super lucky as he has been a good baby so far. Hope everyone is well and can't wait for the rest of our group's babies to arrive!

I'll post some photos in a bit, my phone won't let me
