I see a lot of my OH in him, but I see some of my features too. Oddly enough, Everett looks a lot like my older son, Aiden which is weird because they have different dads. His hair color is definitely his dad's though. I can't wait to see what color his eyes change to - I have brown eyes and OH has blue but there's a chance of green eyes too. :)
 
Congratulations Aidens, he's such a cutie! :happydance: :cloud9: <3
I gave birth around the same gestation with both DS and DD, DS was 38 weeks exactly and DD was 37+5 weeks. :D

I really wasn't expecting to have him as early as I did. Throughout my entire pregnancy I was expecting to need to be induced for sure. With my oldest, my water broke at 38+5 leading to an induction, my older daughter was an induction at 39+2 and my younger daughter was an induction at 40+4. I figured this LO would be difficult like his big siblings. He had other plans :haha: It was a different experience going early and naturally.

Just wanted to pop in for a quick update - On August 23 at 4:44pm Everett Michael was born. :happydance: He was 6lb, 12oz and 19.5 inches long. He is such a cutie and I am so absolutely in love with him. :cloud9: He decided that he needed to join our family a bit earlier than expected - I was 38+2 weeks along. But he's happy and healthy and that's all that matters. :) He is also the first baby I've had that I went into labor on my own with, so that was a nice change. We had actually just celebrated my daughter's 7th birthday the day before, so at least Everett was polite and let his sister have her birthday party before arriving :haha: We're home now and getting settled. On Monday, my big kids will be coming home to meet their baby brother and then get ready to start school. So there's going to be a whole lot going on the next couple weeks. I'll try to get a picture posted soon.

I hope you all are doing well! :flower:

Congratulations!! He shares a birthday with me! :)
 
Hey how's everyone doing?? I've been busy with school and mid terms. I had two last week, one today and two more tomorrow!! :wacko:
 
How exciting Tara!! How are you enjoying your program?

Things are okay here. I am finding ttc to be more and more draining as the months keep going. But I am trying to stay positive (most days) that our time is coming.

How is everyone else doing? It has been awhile since anyone has been over here. Anyone still wtt or have we all moved onto ttc?
 
My ds was born 10-12 after my water broke at home. 9 hour labor and 2 minutes of pushing. Big brother is still learning to like him lol

I'm back to WTT if that counts :haha:

I understand TTC being draining. It really sucks when it doesn't go as you hope. Keep hanging in there, I'm sure your time will come soon :hugs:

Congrats! He's a little cutie :)

AFM - I haven't been posting as much as I would have liked because we've had a really, really hard time with Everett. :nope: Our poor little guy has been diagnosed with reflux and is being evaluated for a possible milk protein allergy. It's been really, really hard. He cried constantly from the time he was 3 weeks old until now (he's 8 weeks). We've tried medication and all different types of formula and nothing seems to be working well for him. He's primarily breastfed so luckily he's keeping up with weight gain (mostly). Today Everett had an xray which showed that everything is normal, although it appears that he may have some damage to his esophagus. :cry: It's been hard on all of us but I'm holding out hope that soon we will find a solution that works well for him.

In addition to Everett's medical problems, Aiden and Mady are having some problems, too. Aiden has recently seen a psychologist about possibly having ADD. Well, the psychologist thinks he may actually have undiagnosed autism. So next month he goes in for testing. Mady has started seeing an eye specialist because she has a lazy eye that seems to be getting worse. We have new glasses for her and have to patch her eye every day, but if there's no improvement when we go back in three months, there's a strong possibility that she'll have to have eye surgery.

All that being said, things aren't too bad. OH will be starting a new job soon which is both exciting and scary. Aiden is absolutely in love with having a little brother and has been a huge help taking care of him. Seeing all my kids together just makes my heart melt. :cloud9:

I hope you all are doing well and soon I'll start posting more again. :flower:
 
Aidens - I'm sorry about the reflux and everything that's been going on with the kids! :hugs:
I hope that your OH's new job goes well! :happydance:
I'm a tad jealous that you're already back in WTT. DH and I are still undecided about whether or not we'll have another baby and it's driving me crazy. :wacko:
 
Hi everyone! I haven't been in here for ages, so I'll have to catch up.

Aidens that sounds so tough, I really hope things improve for you all soon.

Congrats Ashley!

Tara I'm glad you're enjoying your classes!

Krissie I'm pretty sure you're over in the same ttc thread so I'll say hi over there!

Kiki, can't believe how quickly time has flown since you had Thea. You have plenty of time to think about #3!

Afm. We were ntnp and back and forth from April time, officially started trying July so we've had 3 proper cycles with no luck. I thought it would be as easy as ttc#1 but no such luck &#128546;

Now we're having 2 months off as dh has to go to Sweden next July and if I conceived this cycle our due date would be a few days before he'd have to leave and I really don't want to be on my own with a newborn in the US with no family. August is out too for similar reasons. So I'm pretty gutted at 1.not being pregnant by now and 2.having to wait for two cycles. Hopefully December will be the charm!!!

I'm sorry it's taken longer this time hun! I'm also sorry that you have to wait two more cycles to try again. I have my FXed that December will be your month. :hugs: :dust:
 
I am finding balancing two kids harder than I ever imagined. Ds1 is acting out terribly and just can't understand. I've tried everything to include him and spend time with him. It's just so frustrating and I feel so guilty.

Oh has been great at taking the first part of the night but he works long hours and is tired too. Just as I get ds2 back down to bed and settled, ds1 wakes up ready to play.

I am not being the best mom I can be and I just feel so guilty. And to top it all off, it's my birthday tomorrow and I'm dreading it. I should be so greatful for these two beautiful boys and I just can't catch a grip
