Congrats Armymama

We are doing good. Only issue is that he has trouble getting his gas out. I cried last night because he was turning red and tending his whole body. My mom eventually had to sleep with him partially sitting up next to her because every time we laid him down he would just want to eat and then it would take forever to get him to burp. Hoping my milk comes in today.

This C-section was a little rougher on me. He didn't want to come out. It felt like they were going to have to break my ribs in order for him to drop enough to come out. Also the meds they gave me to help my uterus contract afterwards made my chest feel real heavy and made my shoulders ache so much I almost cried. Once I got into my own room it was pretty smooth sailing. He has some trouble latching because he refuses to open his mouth very wide but we are working on it. He also struggles with a lot of gas and screams if you lay him flat when he has gas. Now our big issue is that he has lost almost 1 lb since being born. Going in for a weight check tomorrow, if he has lost more than 2 ounces tomorrow they will want me to supplement with formula. Please pray he starts to gain. My milk has come in and hoping that he just needs a few days to adjust to it. I will post some pictures later tonight or early tomorrow.

Congrats army...
Praying your little man just needs a couple days to adjust

 

[armymama2012]

thanks ladies. Went to his weight check and he gained 6 ounces overnight so he is out of the danger zone and no need for formula. Though with how much he sleeps during the day I may have to start using my pump next week. my boobs are almost rock hard right now.

Congratulation!! How much longer until hubby gets to meet him army???

 

[Angel wings13]

That's great about his weight army!
So, I had a private scan today, mostly because my hospital where I did my NT scan doesn't offer dvd of the session....

The place I went to guarantees gender by 15 wks, but since I'm a little shy of that she said she couldn't say for absolute certain...but sounded pretty sure and quickly found the....boy bits!
Looks like I'm team ! No girls in this family! Lol! Even my cat is male....I'm so out numbered!

Here's the main shot that convinced her, though we thought we saw a pee pee a few other times, he moved around bunches, constantly flashing us
If anyone thinks this could still end up a girl let me know, I doubt it, but was kinda hoping. Obviously health is way more important!

no clue why it's sideways

Lovely piccie Angel and I can see a little pee pee Will you be getting it confirmed at a later date. We had a gender scan at 16 weeks and it was very clear it was a boy! X

 

[girlinyork]

Looks like a peep to me and I did get boy vibes from the last scan you post

 

[armymama2012]

As far as meeting daddy in person, it'll be at least another 4 months. Daddy has gotten to see all his pictures and seen him once on Skype though. Sorry about photo delay. Here are a few from right after he was born:

Looks like a penis to me to if I'm looking at it right!

Angel, definitely a little turtle down there!!

Loving the pics army, he looks so content in the last one

 

[Harley Quinn]

Yay! Congrats, Armymama! So glad Daniel is gaining weight now. Hope your boobs adjust according to his feeding habits. I know that can't be comfortable!

 

[Angel wings13]

Adorable pics army, my favorite us the third one down!
MMM- yes, my next scan isn't until 20 weeks, but due to my summer schedule it will probably end up being at 19 weeks. Seems like forever! I really want to start shopping now! But I hate having to return things...but then again, like the rest if you, I don't think this was a close call - lol, seems pretty definite. I've been comparing on other sites and definitely seems boy! At 13 weeks, almost every girl shot had 3 lines, thinner, and not a thicker middle protrusion like that! I sorta wanted a girl, since I have 2 boys, but I feel comfortable going into familiar territory, and idk why, I've just always thought boys had cuter stuff
