    @kennelchick Your baby is sooooooo cute! I can't imagine having to leave your baby at the hospital, that takes a lot of love and strength. Hang in there!

    I don't know why I thought I could handle driving 5 hours to a family reunion, going to a college football game, dealing with the heat, stadium stairs and bleachers, and then driving 5 hours home. Every inch of my body hurts. My insides feel like they are going to come out. I just want to be home and I don't want to leave again until it's baby time.

    This sounds horribly uncomfortable. Feel better soon!

    @NicholeL16 Just reading that made me exhausted. I refuse to go anywhere or do anything even though I'm off bed rest now. My body can't handle it!

    I just had my second dose of the steroid shot for LOs lungs- man that things gives you a sore bum!

    did anyone else's body turn red afterwards? My chest, face and arms are all flushed! The nurses think it's from the shot- which it probably is. But I didn't realize that was a side effect! 

    i am not really concerned just curious!

    not being able to sleep and a higher resting heart rate are two of the other things I have but I knew those could happen!

    Congrats @kennelchick!
    I was excited to see your name - you are the first name in the birth announcements that I recognized! So happy that you & your LO are healthy! I know it must be scary & so tough to leave her but hang in there!! Thinking of you.

    My chest, arms, and shoulders flushed pretty badly - bright red - after that shot.

    @AllyTheKid That makes complete sense to me.  I really just couldn't think of a reason.  And hopefully they'll be back when things calm down a bit.

    Okay, dumb question alert. Am I supposed to pack clothes for the baby for the hospital stay?

    @ashleyp625 I packed the diaper bag too with (2) outfits, one newborn and one a little bigger, and onesies just in case. I know he'll probably hang out in the onesies and the blankets they provide. I brought a blanket for him too that we will use in the hospital and for his car seat.

    @ashleyp625 - my hospital provides onesies for the baby to wear and I assume most do. So I think the answer would be no (other than your going home outfit, unless you just want the baby in something other than the hospital provided onesie. I personally don't think I'll bring outfits for her to wear in the hospital bc that just means more laundry for me.

    @ashleyp625 I have packed his going home outfit along with a cute onesie and a gown. He may not wear the other two but I figured better to have them than not. I may want to dress him up for visitors???  :)

    @ashleyp625 my hospital requested bringing 4-5 sleepers for the baby, so I guess mine doesn't provide anything.  I ended up packing 8, 4 nb and 4 0-3ms because who knows how big this guy will be.  I also packed a going home outfit which is 0-3ms, but if it ends up being too big, he'll be coming home in one of those sleepers.  I also brought a few blankets since we can't bring the hospital ones home and I wouldn't mind bringing home a smelly blanket for the dog so she can pick up his scent before meeting him.

    Yeah, with my son, he didn't wear clothes the whole stay.  If he was in his bassinet, he was swaddled.  If he was on me (which was most of the time), he was just in his diaper so we could have skin-to-skin.  We only needed a going-home outfit.  It might depend on the hospital, though, so it doesn't hurt to bring a few outfits just in case.

    I've mostly been lurking these days, but +1 for being excited for all O16 announcements.  Hell, I even lurk other boards for birth announcements and I don't know anyone there.  It's fun to read other people's birth stories and see pics of their beautiful babies.  It makes me even more excited to meet my own. ;)
