Oh, here is an interesting article on breastmilk if anyone wants to read it.

https://thefunnyshapedwoman.blogspot.com/2011/05/foremilk-and-hindmilk-in-quest-of.html?spref=fb
 
We started giving one bottle of expressed breast milk around 3 weeks last time because our ped wanted my husband to feed baby so I could get some sleep haha. We will probably do the same this time too because I'll be back on call at work after 6 weeks post delivery.
 
So both of my Dr's apts went well!
My AFI went up a little, so baby is doing ok! :)
She now weighs about 6lbs. She gained a pound in two weeks! :)

Dr says I've opened a bit more since last week. Not sure how many cm's, she just said "a finger" :blush:

My daughter says that tonight we have to play the WII, because she thinks that will bring on labor! :haha:
 
Glad to hear the good news!!! I've heard finger is JUST under one and a good solid ONE but at the same time one MW said "ANYONE CAN FIT A FINGER IN!" but she was a bitch

JNA- she's doing great. They also told us not to introduce any sort of artificial nipple until 4 weeks but she got a pacifier at 2days. She wanted to suck and suck and suck but she took a paci no problem and didn't have trouble with my breasts either. We did keep it to a minimum though- now she gets them any time she's fussy but is picky about taking them.
I waited around 3 weeks for a bottle of EBM but i have a hard time with getting extra milk out with my hand pump. Gonna have to keep up trying after each feed to see what I can get out :) It's tricky but if you are dedicated and lucky like I was it wont be too hard at all! So far we are using Dr Browns bottles b/c Rosie gets gassy. She doesn't have any problems with going back and forth with nipples but have a feeling it's b/c she took a binki from so early.
 
Yay for progress southerngal.

Nothing to report here... same la-de-da boring kind of day, lol. Went walking in the mall... at least my other daughters enjoyed it because they got a sucker from See's candy and some silly candy flavored lipgloss. I do have to admit that the hightlight of the walk was the free sample of keylime with white chocolate from See's... I know it is against the GD rules, but DANG it was SO GOOD! It was not too bad on my blood sugar either, go figure.

I have an OB appmt in the morning when they said I could have a sweep done, so we'll see, eh. I don't even care that my OB is not on call all weekend. Let's just get this show on the road before this baby won't fit into any of the newborn clothes, lol.
 
lol... well my LO actually does fit in newborn clothes and you know he's a big boy!

Lisa, my son was 9.4, not quite as big as your Daniel, but still big. He fit in the newborn stuff comfortably for maybe 2 weeks. Anything with feet was then too short for him as he was also a very long boy. 20.5 inches, I think, it's hard to remember.
 
My guy is 22 inches.. the only areas we have trouble fitting are getting his giant hands through some of the sleeves (wish I could get handprints done, but his hands do NOT cooperate!).. and his butt, because he's wearing size 1 diapers since the newborns leaked with every pee (sheer volume of the pee!).

Of course ask me again in a week, lol!
 
Haha, I totally remember with the two big ones of mine that I could not really ever fit them into newborn diapers, lol. Size 1 from the start. Lucky me, I have mostly size 1 ready and one small package of newborn open with a case that can easily be exchanged. We shall see how big she really is. I guess at least 8 pounds, but not quite 9.

I have:
9.4 (1 wk late)
7.0 (3 wks early)
8.7 (1 wk early)
 
Rosie made it through 2 packs of newborn. Were alsogetting to the point that some of her newborn clothes don't fit. Pants do but things with feet are getting too short
 
Appointment today, wish me lots of luck!!! I want to get this show on the road already.

Southerngal- glad your appointment went well.
 
Admitted to the hospital for PIH concerns. Hoping baby decides to come while I'm here. Lots of labor dust needed. I'll be here until at least 2 am.
 
afraid to share my labor dust, lol... you deserve a faster labor than mine
 
Haha Lisa, at least it was labor. They decided to discharge us early *woohoo* since baby was doing so good on the monitor. They figured it would be nice for me to sleep in my own bed. I have to go back for NST testing and every time I pee I have to pee in a hat now, which hubby then has to drive to the lab in 24 hours. I'm also on strict bed rest which really sucks considering I'm full term. She said I can't even take a long shower and that my husband will have to do everything, so he is officially on leave from work. Come on baby, mommy doesn't want to be on bed rest until the end, come on out!!!
