  Alright I'll start... 
  
  Status Update: she is 2 months today! Time flies... 
  
  WUN: 2mo pediatrician appointment next Monday, can't wait to confirm she's continued to gain weight. Her little cheeks indicate she probably has! 
  
  RRS: Rant - boo to pumping at night. Rave: the LO let us sleep from 11pm t0 5:30pm last night, well done!! Symptoms: Soooo tired...........
  
  GTKY: For the LO I love anything by Tea Collection, though she mostly wears cute little things from Carter's... She's been rocking this little crab romper lately... So happy the heat wave in the northeast might break today!

  Status update: 17 days
  
  What's up next?  Doctor appointment today, after weight gain stalling last week really hoping he's putting it back on. I've been so obsessed/ stressed about his weight gain
  
  Rants/Raves/Symptoms:  Rant- just really frustrated with my milk not coming in. Rave- I love all this time I get with Duncan, I could just cuddle him forever. Nothing prepared me for just how much love I'd feel. Symptoms- Why doesn't he want to sleep this morning??
  
  GTKY-  A lot of his clothes are babyGap and we have some super cute dinosaur bodysuits we were given that I love

  Status Update: Mikey will be 2 weeks on Sunday 
  
  What's up next (appointments/ milestones/ anniversaries)?
  Mikey's 1 month appt is on August 17th. 
  
  Rants/ Raves/Symptoms: struggling with the breastfeeding and I hate pumping. I need a hands free bra ASAP!!! Also, I'm still swollen from the CS! The nurses told me that it was going to get worse before it got better but it's going to be 2 weeks and my rings still don't fit and my ankles are huge!!! Anyone else still dealing with this?

  @Kellyj103 I'm still puffy. It's gone down a lot, especially in the feet but I'm not there yet

  Still pregnant
  
  Here is a text I sent out. Copied and pasted easier than typing out again. 

  
  

  "Came in Wednesday night at 7:30pm as planned to find out they didn't have a room for me. Went home and came back at 10:00pm when a room was ready. They started the cervix ripening medicine cytotec which is a small pill they insert close to the cervix every 4 hours. They did it 3 times. When that didn't work they used something else called cervadil that stays in for 12 hours that didn't work either. They started pitocin at 1:30 am and nothing bumped it up every 15 minutes started at 2 and we got to 14.  I'm still 1cm not enough to break my water.  Baby is healthy, I  am healthy (just very very uncomfortable). They took me off the pitocin and the recommendation is we go home for a few days and try again Sunday. They don't want to do a major surgery if Baby is not at risk even with being Poly. Baby is doing just fine.   Apparently this happens a lot with first time moms. Sunday evening we start over if it doesn't work then they will call it a "failed induction" and proceed with surgery."

  
  
  Congrats to to all of of those who have had their sweet angel babies! Thinking my July baby will be an August baby now unless a miracle happens this weekend.

  @Lynna813 Good luck! My induction took forever too and my body did not respond very quickly to cytotec or pit until they'd really upped the dosage. Once I got to a 3 my water broke and things went much faster after that. Hang in there, hopefully your body will be more ready on Sunday!! Your babe will be here so soon!!
  
  Status Update:
  4 weeks today!! Can't believe how fast time is going.
  
  What's up next (appointments/ milestones/ anniversaries)?
  One month appointment on Monday
  
  Rants/ Raves/Symptoms:
  FINALLY feel almost totally healed up, just a tiny bit itchy still. Breastfeeding is going much better now that my boobs have gotten with the program and aren't way overproducing and getting infected and all that nonsense. LO has been eating like an elephant, so I feel like all I do is nurse nowadays. Hormones are still a little wacky and I've been all over the place, but it's getting better. I love my little man, he's growing so fast and getting more personality every day. I think he's trying to figure out how to laugh and he keeps finding new sounds to make, which cracks me up.

  Carters has been my favorite for LO, they fit the best and are easy to get on and off, plus they're pretty darn cute! I'm a Modcloth girl myself, when I let myself buy what I want, or places like that. If I could afford it, I'd buy my clothes at Anthropologie, but my wallet says a big nope to that!!! I also LOVE Stitch Fix, but that takes a big splurge so I can't really do that much either. Moral of the story, most of my clothes end up coming from Target, and I drool over everything else. Lol.
