I'm thinking hiccups are a sign if GERD. Poor baby. Hope she grows out of it!

Sonia, that sounds wonderful :)
 
Yay Sarah!!! So exciting!!! I hope you have a nice easy labor and that we see pictures of Evan soon!

Might be taking some outdoor maternity pictures next Friday! Super stoked.
 
hi ladies! havent been on all weekend. needed a break. things are really hard right now, so im going to continue to take a break from BnB. hope youre all well. my best wishes to all of you. keep in touch on fb, please!
 
Thx for checking in Robert!! Feel better!

thanks for the info Rachel and sandy.

I don't think she acts the way you are explaining Rachel. So id say she doesn't have it. She does spit up, but I think its just a full belly. IV asked doc before. She also has lots of hiccups even from when she was in my belly. I also told doc about that and she wasn't concerned and said shed grow out of it. So I think she just had a belly ache ... Maybe from something I ate.
 
Totally understand Amanda. Hope that things get better soon :hugs:
 
Take your time Amanda n stay strong...things will get better...take care hun...:hugs:
 
How are you ladies handling Visitors after birth??

It is rude to tell everyone that we respectfully ask that everyone wait to visit until we tell them we are ready? I'm afraid that within the family, word will travel, and people will just show up, and I'm really feeling strongly about spending an hour or so with just DH and Harper. I don't want people lined up waiting to burst in the moment i've given birth. I want to come across stern/strong, but not bitchy. Is this acceptable? What is everyone else doing?

My plan was to call my mother (and my dad, they are not together) and DH call his mother when I am going to the hosptial and that be it. We can text everyone else when the baby has come. I'm just know my family and they will talk before I get to tell them. *sigh*
 
Good. I think some people may be upset, but it really is about us. I just have a feeling that DH's sister will be mad because of it. I don't get why people just want to sit in the waiting room! I've never done that! We will call when we are ready for visitors. Some people are in the hospital for hours and hours before the baby comes.
 
We only had my best friend visit at hospital because she was going on holiday that day. Everyone else had to wait until we were ready. I was so tired and sore I wanted to do it on my terms.
 
Britt I wouldn't let people visit for probably 5 hours if I ever have a baby. It's time to meet your daughter take pictures it's family time.
Ashlee can't wait to see pictures
Amanda I understand your break. Hugs
Afm I got my hair cut it is so short for me, I love it! The hairdresser joked and said can I take some off I said as long as it can go in a pony go for it.
 
I agree Katrina.. i'd love to wait longer, and if she's born in the middle of the night, i'm not texting anyone until an appropriate time in the morning. I will probably want to try to sleep.

If it were up to me, i'd make everyone wait until we were home and setteled, but my mom swears i'm going to change my mind and want to show her off to everyone. It just seems so overwhelming being in the hospital with a never ending flow of visitors.
 
Sarah-So exciting! I hope you get a smooth delivery! Can't wait to see pics of little Evan!

Britt-We've already told everyone we don't want a bunch of people visiting in the hospital. Only immediate family and our really close friends can visit. Luckily I know we don't have to worry about them visiting until later. My mom will be in the room with us and I know DW's mom will be at the hospital and my brother too. I don't mind if they come in and meet the babies. They better not plan on staying long though!
 
Britt- u aren't rude for that. We decided to tell parents when headed to hospital, but said don't come till we tell u to come. Which is smart cuz it took 15 hr till she was even here. Then we did first hr just Alia, me and dh. Then he called parents and and siblings and invited them to hospital. They were our first guests on day one. Next day was friends and any other family. Then following day we went home.
 
i think my mom will be in with us for the birth. my sister said she will stop by on her way home from work, post birth, but i asked her not to bring her (germy) kids - whom i LOVE but have germaphobia. OH's family all live too far away. my dad... hard to tell, but he wont come by until we tell him to. my older sister prob wont meet the baby until he's like 2-6months old (she lives in philly, so also a dedicated visit, not a stop in).
BB, sorry about that. my OH's last name starts with K, so i've just been calling "it" baby K until we knew it was a boy. now we've started discussing names - i think we'll be telling my family on Easter - his name will be Aleksandr (or Alexander - spelling undecided) Julian. but i will probably still refer to him as K - there will be no AJ in our vocab. ;)
 
Julie- that's what I want to do. Immediate family and friends, but I know my dad's entire family will want to come and i'm just not sure I want to see them in the hospital. If all goes well we should be home in 24-48 hours. They can wait until I get home, but I KNOW they won't want too. I really don't even like my dad's family. I didn't know my dad until a few years ago and barely know them. They all lived in the SAME town as me after my dad left and never ever tried to see me. So i've always felt off around them.

Nikki- That sounds like a good plan with family day 1 and friends day 2. I really like that.
 
Amanda, i totally get that. Hope things get better so soon!

As for visitors, I totally get (and agree!!)I with what you all say about not having people there, but I know we won't have that option. No matter what we say, our family will be there. When everything happened with my son, we had sent everyone home so we could all get some rest, and my husband was there completely alone. My in-laws got there in 30ish minutes and my parents in 45. I can't ever imagine leaving him all alone like that again, waiting and wondering and praying not to lose us both. That's why we will have more people than we know what to do with, like it or not. I was the same as the rest of you before. We even argued about it.
