Rants/Raves: rave: made a "moby" wrap. DD loves it! Now I can finally get things done.
GTKY: What did you name/what are you planning on naming LO? What were your other top "contenders?" We named DD Kaelyn Everly. Our top four were Kaelyn, Alice, Anna, and Rachel.
No idea why this pic is upside down...
I'm also worried that the birth will overwhelm me mentally/emotionally and I won't stay in the moment and remember it. You know how some things are so huge & surreal you just float away? I don't want that to happen! I will focus on my husband if I start to do that.
How are you feeling? Tired, emotional, overwhelmed, but mostly happy and lovey.
Appointments/Updates? Abrahm had his one week appt today. He was 8lbs 3 oz at birth, and lost over 11% of his body weight over 5 days in hospital. We had to supplement for a few days to get his weight on track.
Rants/Raves: Rant: my nips hurt like a sonofabitch! Rave: weighed in at pedi today: Abrahm gained 10oz over the weekend. He's going to be such a chunk!
GTKY: What did you name/what are you planning on naming LO? What were your other top "contenders?" We were team green, so if he was a girl he would have been Ibolya June.
How are you feeling? Tired, in pain, but in love!
Appointments/Updates? Contractions started on Monday and I ended up going into the hospital late Wednesday night with cx every 5 min. I was 4 cm and 90% effaced. They admitted me and I got an epidural. I had to get pitocin to get to 10cm which took forever. I ended up pushing at 4pm and our daughter was born at 5:50pm!
Rants/Raves: Rants: holy hell I am in so much pain! I had 2nd degree tearing and the stitches and swelling are killing me. Wondering when there will be any relief soon! Raves: Just nice to finally to meet the baby. My mom is flying out on Wednesday to stay with us for 10 days, cannot wait for her to meet her!
GTKY: What did you name/what are you planning on naming LO? What were your other top "contenders?" We named her Dylan, it's been my top baby name for the past 5 years and thankfully DH liked it also. There weren't many other contenders, maybe Jessa but my sister immediately told me her distaste for the name so there wasn't much contest.
How are you feeling? I'm ok. My incision keeps opening and closing I'm not sure why, but there's no signs of infection so at least there is that.
Appointments/Updates? Caroline has an appointment on Wednesday. She's been having some trouble getting the bottle in her mouth.
Rants/Raves:

Oliver was always Oliver, but we considered Henry as a middle name as well as Benjamin. We went with Benjamin just because it's DHs name. Caroline could have been Eleanor or Nora, but her middle name, Marjorie was always the same.
Feeling: Sore (2nd degree tearing) and a bit sad because Colin is in the NICU and not with us. (I posted his birth story).
Rave: our baby is here!!!
GTKY: Colin was really the only name we both loved. My husband thought of Mackenzie as a middle name and I fell in love with the combo. Eli Harrison was our backup name, but I think we both were 100% committed to Colin by month 7 of my pregnancy. We put it on the wall above his crib in April, so we knew that was it.
How are you feeling?
Pretty good a little overwhelmed once in a while taking care of 2 kids while my husband works
Appointments/Updates? He has a dr appt this Friday I think since he had jaundice
Rants/Raves:
My husband is my rant... Thinking he could try to be a little more helpful / had a nice sunny day to finally enjoy and weighed myself down 20 lbs
GTKY: What did you name/what are you planning on naming LO? What were your other top "contenders?"
Yes was set on namefor a while even though sometimes when I look at him not sure if he looks like a Brennan. I really loved the name Brayden but my nephew is Aiden so I didn't want too similar
