TTC and Beyond!

[Ingodshand]

Congrats sandy!!! Yay for team blue!

Nikki- totally agree with not keeping them up for more than two hours... Evan gets very cranky!

Also Evan loves to be held and i love holding him but would love to take a nap by myself!

 

[wavescrash]

In regards to the "2 hour rule"... I shared this recently but I'll share it again. Nifty little link for reference about how much sleep babies/kids need.

Adorable pictures Kara! I wish we could have gotten newborn pictures but definitely couldn't afford it.

 

[Kiamaria83]

Great news sandy.
Bb fab . Glad you're being looked after and that they've prescribed aspirin.
Kara cute pictures.

 

[goldstns]

Ugh really don't wanna wake Alia for her doc apt.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Great news sandy.
Bb fab . Glad you're being looked after and that they've prescribed aspirin.
Kara cute pictures.

Just hoping it all works!
He put me on 5mg Folic Acid and 75mg Dispersible Aspirin.

Been having a few cramps today, trying not to worry!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Glad you got the prescription BB!!

hey momma's - How many items of clothes did you take to the hosptial for yourself? I'd rather not live in the gown after the baby is here, if I dont' have too. I've only got one pair of maternity capri's and a tank top set aside. What else do I need clothing wise? Should I bring several shirts? I hate this whole not knowing thing. haha. I'm too OCD for packing for something i've never "done" before.

 

[Disneybaby26]

I had a bag with three outfits packed but word the Johnny coat the whole time bc of the epi complications...the only think I wore was sweats and a hoodie home! Lol-def don't overpack, it's just more crap to riffle through/lug around!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Oh yeah. I'm trying not to over pack at all. I'm doing REALLY simple. I just didn't know if several outfits were useful. It doesn't sound like it. I think i'll just take my maternity work out capri's and maybe a shirt or two. That'll be enough. Hopefully i won't be there that long.

 

[frsttimemama]

I got dressed in comfy shorts and t-shirts the next morning. I took 3a outfits. I hated wearing the gown with company!

Adorable pictures!

Is a consultant a doc?

 

[clynn11]

Yay for a boy Sandy! Glad everything is looking great

Boo for protein in your urine Britt but glad your bp is good! And yay for not being breech! That's one of the things I dread. I hope Zuri is head down lol. I think she is but who knows.

BB- that's great news and your lines are looking great! Sending you lots of sticky dust!!!

Awww Nikki i'll probably cry too lol. She's getting to be a big girl! It all goes by so fast. I can't believe my niece is 8 months old already. It's insane.

Kara- OMG Makayla is just so stinking cute!!! Love love love your pictures! I have an appointment already scheduled for Zuri's newborn pics with an amazing photographer, i'm super excited!!!!

 

[morganwhite7]

Yay for team blue Sandy!!!

Kara- I have GOT to get newborn pics done after seeing those.. they're precious! They did a great job and your peanut is just beautiful!!

Britt- I packed 3 outfits but never really got dressed until we left!! We stayed 4 days and I used 2 nightgowns with spaghetti straps for nursing. Don't bring anything that isn't boob-accessible. I just wanted to be naked really.. I gave birth with nothing on at all lol. Everything just gets super messy and dirty really quick so keep that in mind and don't over pack. Hospitals really have everything you could ever need! Esp for baby, they had EVERYTHING and I didn't use a single thing I brought for her but the going-home outfit!

Katrina- That is one high temp again! You def O'd! Whew now keep busy

 

[goldstns]

Alia apt went well. She's 25 inches (70%) and 13 lbs and 13oz (43%) and I think 15" head (49%). Doc said we can start baby cereal if we want then after a week of that she said do veggies (5-7 days per food) and then fruit (5)7 days per food). She said after her 6 month apt shell move to meat/beans....

dh is going out of town this coming weekend, so we r going to start when he's back. Also she's holding her own bottle!! My big girl. I LOVE this stage...shes getting a personality and I feel like I understand her needs better.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Yay Nikki I can't wait to see food pictures.
Thanks Morgan, I'm not feeling to confident. As sad as it is to say mothers day is not helping.

 

[clynn11]

I have everything crossed for you Katrina!!!! I so so hope this is your month!!

 

[goldstns]

Oh and I brought too much clothing to the hospital...i also didn't want to be in the gown, but I'll tell u the nurse or doc comes all the time to check u down there that it seemed that it would be a pain to take on/off my pants. Plus (tmi alert) I bled lots and when going pee it would drip all over the place... So glad I wasn't wearing clothing I liked.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Britt I am of no use. I lived there for nearly 3 weeks so I had lots of clothes.

Very cute pics Kara.

I left Ellie for a night out for the first time. Had a wedding rehearsal then dinner. I did pretty good. Wedding is tomorrow. Hopefully I can stay sane

 

[brunettebimbo]

I think I only packed one outfit but I lived 2 minutes away from the hospital so hubby could have got me more. I just took plenty of underwear! I was home the next day.

Sandy I think a consultant is a Specialist Doctor.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Bb - I'm late night stalking for more tests?!!

 

[brunettebimbo]

I can't decide if it's darker or not. My boobs hardly hurt now. I'm scared.
