Hi Ladies,

AW/Appointments:
GTKY: What's your biggest struggle right now? What are you feeling really good about?

Re: Friday/Saturday Ticker Change - Do we still do these?!?
Symptoms: mucusy, sore, contractiony
AW/Appointments: I went to L&D the other night because I was having some pretty intense timeable contractions 3-5 minutes apart for 4 hours. Only dilated 1.5cm. Same it's been for 4 weeks. Got sent home... Still having consistent contractions 2days later. Have a dr appt Monday. Hope I find out I'm making progress at least.
GTKY: What's your biggest struggle right now? What are you feeling really good about?
My biggest struggle is worrying I'll go into labor on Friday when my daughter is in surgery. She is usually such a daddy's girl and I was feeling good about maybe not being able to be there if he could be, but he was holding her at the surgery consult and I could tell she was terrified and she started crying for me. I just know I'm gonna feel awful if I can't be there the day of....
Good stuff- I'm really happy that they finally checked baby's position to make sure he's head down. I was almost certain he was transverse and I'd def have to have a c-section but he isn't!
Symptoms: blood pressure rising; trouble sleeping; gremlin child dancing inside me
AW/Appointments: I had an emergency appointment yesterday because my BP was high. No protein in my urine, no swelling, and my BP goes down as soon as I rest, so baby stays in. Membrane sweep Monday though!
GTKY: What's your biggest struggle right now? What are you feeling really good about? STRUGGLE: I'm useless. Because of my BP going up, I'm basically on modified bed rest. That means everything I was going to do in this final week/two weeks, I am now banned from doing. I would be feeling really good about the fact that my mom and sister are currently in a tizzy around me doing EVERYTHING, but lying around watching is both boring and guilt-inducing. But I'll have a baby in less than 2 weeks (have to induce by week 41 here).
11/29. Come on baby!!!!! Please don't make me wait until December
Symptoms: lots of Braxton hicks still. Come on real contractions. I took a two mile walk today trying to make something happen. Now time to find DH.
AW/Appointments: appointment Monday. Fingers crossed for some progress.
GTKY: What's your biggest struggle right now? What are you feeling really good about?
Struggling with a name. Seriously. We thought we had it now I'm not so sure.
Friday was my last day of work Bedford leave. so I am feeling pretty good about that!
Feeling good: The fact that I made the decision to do bed rest instead of induce. Things are going well and I still have a shot at my vbac!
EDD/ Baby's Birthdate: 11/19 @ 10:24am!!!
Symptoms: Milk came in so boobs have become rocks. And pretty darn sore from a rather rough labor. Having a little trouble getting a great latch every time so sore from that too. Also, my feet are so swollen from all the fluids at the hospital it's disgusting.
AW/Appointments: OMG I LOVE OUR SON. I thought I bonded while pregnant, but it is like 1/trillionth of what I felt the moment he arrived. And I'm shocked how happy I am with breastfeeding. I thought I'd just be okay with it but definitely enjoying it.
GTKY: What's your biggest struggle right now? What are you feeling really good about? Trying to take it easy/do nothing to recover. I keep setting goals/plans for the day of staying in bed except for one or two things and it always turns into doing way too much. And my posture during BF is horrible and I'm quite sore as a result. But I think I'm doing really well at making sure Jackson gets tons of feedings and skin to skin time with both me and dad.
Due date was yesterday 11/22
She was born on 11/4 - induction due to high BP.
Symptoms: All the pregnancy stuff disappeared immediately - heartburn, BP, etc. now I'm just tired as shit and super in love.
AW/Appointments: Tuesday was our 2 week check up at the pediatrician. Everything looks great and Emily is gaining weight like a champ!
GTKY: What's your biggest struggle right now? What are you feeling really good about?
The good: Emily is an amazing baby. She only fusses when she is hungry and is a little doll the rest of the time. She is amazing.
The bad: I'm beyond exhausted. I think my hormones were bsc when decided at the last minute to breastfeed. I feel like all I do is feed her or sit around waiting to feed her. I know I'm supposed to sleep when she sleeps but I suck at sleeping during the day.
Symptoms: Nothing new... think I even stopped losing bits of MP. I need to have sex.
AW/Appointments: Tomorrow is another appt, I wonder if we'll check my cervix...
GTKY: What's your biggest struggle right now? What are you feeling really good about?
People asking questions? How am I supposed to know when she's coming? I feel okay if she's late. Just really glad she's staying in the LOA or OA position.
Symptoms: So tired. I was up every hour with one kid or the other. I got a nap in, but it wasn't enough.
AW/Appointments: Louie goes in on Tuesday to repeat his hearing test. He failed in the hospital, but the audiologist said not to worry because he wasn't 24 hours old yet. He definitely reacts to noises so I'm sure he's fine, but I'll be glad when this is behind us. After that, he gets circumcised on December 3. That's also when he had his next weight check appointment.
GTKY: I'm struggling with adjusting to 2 kids. I feel like poor Gabby is getting shafted on together time with me. I tried to plan a playdate with her friend from daycare, but it didn't work out. I also worry I'm not bonding with Louie as well as I did with Gabby.
Congratulations! I was true to my word, and let you go first! I had my little girl yesterday, on her due date - go 4%! I'm in the not-remotely-settled-stage! I hope those extra 4 days with your LO have been nice!
