AW/Appointments: Dr app Tuesday. We will discuss induction for next week if LO doesn't make its appearance before then.
GTKY: What are you thankful for this year, besides LO/being pregnant/not being pregnant anymore? My husband. This pregnancy has been so much more difficult than my first and he has helped so much. Both in general and with DD. Love him!
Symptoms: disappointment that I don't have a baby yet.
AW/Appointments: I have one tomorrow.
GTKY: What are you thankful for this year, besides LO/being pregnant/not being pregnant anymore? My family and friends, they've really been there for me and helped me out a lot this year. them.
Symptoms: Just recovering from a bit of a wild birth. Feeling better today, though. Nips are a little angry, too.
AW/Appointments: One of my midwives is coming over for my first postpartum home visit tomorrow to check on me and the baby. Looking forward to it.
And our new daughter is doing so well. Her little personality is really shining through already. She has changed so much already since she was born. It is neat watching her get used to the world and experience the littlest things for the first time.
GTKY: What are you thankful for this year, besides LO/being pregnant/not being pregnant anymore?
EDD/ Baby's Birthdate: EDD was 11/23, but Audree came 11/18!
Symptoms: sore nipples (nursing), swollen feet, and sore from my csection.
AW/Appointments: Audree was born 7pounds 12 ounces, dropped 8 ounces before we left the hospital, but as of Friday was only down 5 ounces!
GTKY: What are you thankful for this year, besides LO/being pregnant/not being pregnant anymore? I'm thankful we can afford to have me take this year (and probably next year) off from teaching.
EDD/ Baby's Birthdate: edd was 11/9 but birthday is 10/31
Symptoms: still dealing with bleeding (thought it was slowing down but then picked back up), exhaustion, constipation
AW/Appointments: little man alternates good nights with bad...last night was good and he slept well in his cosleeper, but tonight he wakes up every time I set him down and has been up from midnight to after 3 am
GTKY: What are you thankful for this year, besides LO/being pregnant/not being pregnant anymore? Netflix because day time tv sucks
EDD/ Baby's Birthdate: Yesterday was EDD, but LO came on 11/3, so today I have a 3 week old little girl!
Symptoms: Glad to be feeling almost normal again. I could really use a massage, but I'm worried that it would get a little soggy with my ridiculous oversupply of milk... I assumed I'd have issues with production (my mom did) but I've got the opposite problem. Still working on actually getting her fed from the source and not a bottle of pumped milk. Regardless, she's getting fed and the rest is just bonus.
AW/Appointments: LO has her 3 week ped appointment today. I've got my fingers crossed she's going to impress them with how well she's chunked up in the past week. I had my 2 week postpartum appointment last week and it was really just catching my doctor up on all the fun she missed during our birth since it was on the weekend and we had the on call doctor instead.
GTKY: What are you thankful for this year, besides LO/being pregnant/not being pregnant anymore? H has been so so great with our little girl. He's been just amazing. Beyond that, I'm really thankful that while I own my own business, I've been able to take a step back and enjoy some time with our baby. I'm also thankful I can get back in whenever I want and bring LO with me since I'm the boss.
GTKY: What are you thankful for this year, besides LO/being pregnant/not being pregnant anymore? My husband for sure. He's been an endless supply of support and strength. My family in general....also Netflix and chocolate milk
Symptoms: I'm still bleeding and still sore down there. Constipated as all hell. Sleep-deprived. My breasts/nipples are sore from breastfeeding, but I'm determined to keep at it.
AW/Appointments: DS's 1mo appt is December 23. He'll be more like 1.5 months at that point but I wanted to schedule it when H could come with us. My 6w pp checkup is that same day.
GTKY: What are you thankful for this year, besides LO/being pregnant/not being pregnant anymore? My H, who has already proven to be the greatest dad ever. He's such a natural at this, I'm almost envious. Also for my parents who have been staying with me and helping me out tremendously.
Moving from Thursday's to Monday's now that LO is here. Baby's Birthdate: 11/3/14 (3 weeks old)
Symptoms: postpartum bleeding is very light.
AW/Appointments: my appointment isn't until 6 weeks and LO is next Wednesday. I went on a 30 min walk today. It felt so good to get a little sweaty again, although it was more from the warm weather instead of the cardio.
GTKY: What are you thankful for this year, besides LO/being pregnant/not being pregnant anymore? Same as everyone else, my hubby. He is such a natural at being a dad/parent while I'm having a hard time adjusting at times. He doesn't let her meltdowns phase him and is willing to give me a break as soon as he gets home f
Symptoms: mostly just tiredness; luckily, DH has been home and handling school drop-offs and pick-ups for the other kids but I'm terrified of what things are going to look like when he goes back to work next week
AW/Appointments: This LO is so far a pretty easygoing baby; she seems to like her rock n play and swing and will spend some time sleeping in each of those during the day/early evening. My older kids love her even though she cries a lot (their words) and think we should keep her. She has her two week appointment tomorrow, and I'm hoping she's back up to her birth weight by then (and I'm guessing she will be with the way she eats). I have my 6 week pp appointment 12/19, but in the meantime, I feel great, and this is by far the easiest recovery I've had with any of my kids.
GTKY: What are you thankful for this year, besides LO/being pregnant/not being pregnant anymore? I'm thankful for my husband for taking care of the older kids so I have more time to focus on the baby (since I'm breastfeeding, her care mostly falls to me). He also pushes me to take care of myself since I tend to let my needs fall to the wayside when the kids want something.
