Hi ladies! I wanted to give you an update. I can't believe Danny is 2 weeks old today. I love all the faces he makes. He is starting to stay awake longer and he has surpassed his birth weight. He now weighs 7 pounds. Breastfeeding has been rough since we had weight gaining issues. I am pumping hoping it gets better.
Everyone is getting so close it's so exciting. June will be here within a week!
GTKY: What's your favorite fast food chain? This is my weakness... Jersey Mike's or Taco Bell... Really I love them all.
Upcoming appointments? Tomorrow is baby day! We have an appointment with L&D tomorrow at 6pm to begin the induction process. I really can't believe it. Completely surreal that the time is finally here! I can't even begin to describe how I'm feeling right now.
Any new symptoms or changes? Having a lot of BH contractions. Sometimes they're a little painful, sometimes I just feel tightness. My last OB visit was Thursday and my cervix was still completely shut, so I hope my body cooperates with the induction.
Rants/Raves/Questions? The only thing on my mind right now is OMG I'M GONNA HAVE A BABY REALLY SOON!
GTKY: What's your favorite fast food chain? I never think of those sandwich places as fast food chains but I guess they are. I have to go with In N Out though. I miss it, and we always go when we visit my family in CA.
@graceriesz I'm so sorry you're dealing with carpal tunnel! It's awful. I have had it pretty much since a week or so into 2nd trimester. So over it! I did find that the back n belly pillow helped because I could sleep very comfortably on my back. Side sleeping is awful for carpal tunnel.
@tmrussell He is so cute! I hope BF'ing gets better for you and the little guy continues to gain weight!
***BFP & Child Warning***
Me: 34, DH: 38 ~ TTC since 2014 IUI #1-3 (Nov 2015, Feb 2016, May 2016) = BFNs IVF ER (July 2016) = 7 PGS normal embryos FET #1 (Sept 2016) = BFP! DD born 5/30/17 FET #2 (April 2019) = BFN FET #3 (July 2019) = BFP! DS born 3/27/20
Any new symptoms or changes? Lightening crotch is apparently a real thing... and it sucks. Also constantly having to pee... or at least thinking I do.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rant= I'm soo tired... not getting any quality sleep (if I get any at all) is really starting to take its toll on me. At least when she arrives I'll have an adorable baby to look at... for now it's just annoying.
Rave= when Victoria kicks (hard) I'll poke her back... and she will then kick back exactly where I poked her.. it's like our own little game. I love it
GTKY: What's your favorite fast food chain? Chick-fil-A! I'm obsessed with their sweet tea and spicy chicken sandwich!
How far along are you? Baby Nathaniel is just shy of 36 hours old!
How big is baby? Born at 7 lbs 15 ozs
Upcoming appointments? baby follow up in just over a week and mommy check up in six weeks!
@wifeinraleigh28 I'll be thinking of you tomorrow! Try to be patient! Mone lasted almost 52 hours! Bring lots to do! Best of luck and wishing you a happy and healthy baby and delivery!
@tmrussell Danny looks so great! So glad you're both doing well! Can't believe I have my own now!!
@RaeR144 Oh my he is so precious!! So happy for you! And thanks for the tip on bringing a lot to do. I'm definitely bringing my computer and I'm hoping we can hook it up to the flat screens in the L&D room so we can watch Netflix. Also going to bring my kindle. I hate being cooped up so hopefully I can handle being in the hospital for a few days! Really just trying to keep focused on the baby and how excited I am for her arrival
