Re: Lurkers Introduce Yourselves!
LO's name: Miles
LO's birth date: April 2
Latest baby purchase: a little gray corduroy newsboy cap from Target
LO's favorite food: blueberries, turkey, and cheese
Birth story tidbit: induced due to high BP, labored for 24 hours with little progress and lots of pitocin, decided to get epi, LO started having decelerations, unplanned c-section 6 hours after getting epi. Cord was around his neck twice, so it all ended up being a long road to the best result. (That's more than a tidbit. Sorry.)
Working my way up to pictures, but that's him crawling away from me in my avatar.
LOs name: Avery
LOs birthday: April 28 (fun fact we share the same birthday)
Latest baby purchase: a talking book that she loves!
LOs favorite food: gerber puffs and strawberries
Tidbit from birth story: I was scheduled to be induced may 4, but the hospital put the wrong date in the system and they called April 27. She would have been born the 27th but the hospital was starting to computerize everything so it took 2 hours to start the induction instead of 30 minutes!
No pictures yet sorry
March siggy challenge: Dream job = Playing with wolves
LO's name: Aria
LOs name: Mary Elizabeth
LOs birth date : 4/2
Latest baby purchase: a convertible car seat for my two door...and let me tell you what an adventure it is putting DD into the seat!
LOs favorite food:scrambled eggs and potatoes
Little bit from birth story: I was absolutely determined to have the baby on April fools day and I'm pretty sure I talked my body is into it that day because it began. Labored for 30 hours and they asked if I wanted a csection now or to keep trying. I asked "can I finally eat again after the csection" and they said "yes"(liars), so I said "let's do that then lol"

LOs name: Elise
LOs birth date : 4/26
Latest baby purchase: Pants. This girl has jumped to 12 or 18 month sizes all of a sudden and all her pants were way too short
LOs favorite food: everything! She has never shown dislike for a food. She even sucks on lemons. Avacado, quinoa and raspberries seem to be favorites.
Little bit from birth story: started getting a few contractions in the afternoon, but went about my day as usual. By 5 they were regular every five minutes. I labored for 17 hours with my first kid, so I went to take a shower expecting it to be a long wait. By 7 the pain was killing me. We dropped my son off at my friends and got to the hospital around 7:35 and checked in. I was at 9 cm. one push my water broke, Elise was born 5 minutes later at 7:55pm. So crazy fast
LO's birthdate: April 14
Your latest baby purchase: New PJs...he outgrew his old ones like literally over night
LO's favorite food: avocados and sweet potatoes
A tidbit from your baby's birth story: I was induced at 38 weeks due to high blood pressure. Got an epi 6 hours later, then just 1 hour later he made his arrival after 3 pushes! He was awesome
And a picture of your LO!
I'm weird about pictures, but he's blonde haired, big blue eyed, has a natural Mohawk (it is hilarious and I love it!), and a dimple in his chin
LO's birthdate: April 16
Your latest baby purchase: a Minnie Mouse purse.
LO's favorite food: She loves bananas and sweet potato fries.
A tidbit from your baby's birth story: my water broke but I had no contractions. Started pitocin and got an epi 12 hours later, when I was only 3 cm. by 21 hours in, I developed a fever and was only 6 cm so ended up in a c section.
Here's her bedhead this morning!
LO's name: Sophia
LO's birthdate: April 15
Your latest baby purchase: 2 pack of Carter's pjs with owls on them
LO's favorite food: sweet potatoes or blueberry puffs
A tidbit from your baby's birth story: induced 4 days after due date, had epidural (which kept wearing off), labor short and sweet (12 hours). I like to think the easy birth was the universe's way of repaying me for 2 crappy years of fertility treatments.
And a picture of your LO! Here is Sophie on the day she turned 9 months!
TTC #1 since 2011

LO's name: Cooper
LO's birthdate: April 19
Your latest baby purchase: Tylenol
LO's favorite food: he loves all food but has a soft spot for grilled chicken and shredded cheese.
A tidbit from your baby's birth story: my water broke at 9pm has I stood up from cuddling my 2 yo for a late bedtime. Contractions started about an hr later. Went to hospital around 1:30 am. He was born shortly after 5am with a brief scary moment of getting semi stuck and the nurse jumping up on the bed and pushing on me to help get him out. His poor face was black & blue for days.
The app won't let me upload pics. Any suggestions on how to fix that?

Fave foods: bananas, sweet potatoes, toast with jelly

LO's birthdate: March 17
Your latest baby purchase: books (they jump into my cart at costco!)
LO's favorite food: she will eat anything! But some faves include blueberries, sweet potatoes, scrambled egg
A tidbit from your baby's birth story:
My water broke at home, and when we went to l&d, the nurse let us look at the amniotic fluid under the microscope. I am a nurse and fascinated by such things, so I was excited about that. My labour lasted only 4 hours (2nd baby), and recovery was so much easier the 2nd time around.

A tidbit from your baby's birth story: I had an unmedicated water birth. Labor lasted about 18 hours, 45 mins of pushing. I didn't plan to have him in the tub but I was laboring there and you couldn't have paid me to move at that point. And I did NOT poop while pushing, lol!!
And a picture of your LO!

Your latest baby purchase: baby crocs. they're so darn cute, you guyz!
LO's favorite food: avocado. she ate almost an entire avocado for breakfast today.
A tidbit from your baby's birth story: took hypnobabies, planned a med-free birth but was in labor for 30+ hours and ended up with pit+epi after I stopped dilating at 8cm. I broke my pelvis in college, so I'm thinking that was a big part of the reason everything didn't go as planned.
