Re: Tuesday Ticker Change 10.18.16
What size is baby? Still teeny! Hopefully almost back up to her birth weight of 5lb 13oz by now.
Upcoming appointments? I see my doc on Nov 4th, she she's the ped on Nov 8th.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Sorry I've been absent lately, you guys! I feel like a stranger here now. I just really friggin hate the bump app. The desktop site is the one and only reason I miss being at work!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? Still dealing with gas and constipation from the c-section. Blehh.
GTKY: Now that the end is near for the rest of us, what's one thing we are looking forward to? And for the mommas who already have their LO's what's one thing you are happy you can do again? Lie on my stomach!!!
ETA a pic of bitty bit. This was taken after her bath last night, wherein she peed all over daddy. That hair tho!
37 weeks! So happy I made it this far! The nurses in L&D (as well as my OB) were shocked I made it this far with a complete prévia and 3 bleeds.
What size is baby?
i am thinking around 7.5lbs because he was 6.6lbs at our last ultrasound!
Upcoming appointments?
Had my post op yesterday and my c section is tomorrow!!!
Rants/Raves/Questions?
my post op went well and I feel like they are really prepared! But I am really nervous with not knowing what to expect in terms of blood transfusions, having to have my uterus removed... I am just happy that baby has been looking great so I don't have to stress about him as much. Although my nesting instinct hasn't kicked in so I don't feel as prepared now.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
none really! Just uncomfortable- weird tender pain in my ribs. Not sleeping.

@copperboom86 so jealous you can sleep on your belly! I am soooo looking forward to a more comfortable sleep even if it's only for an hour at a time!
What size is baby? 7lbs 8oz at his appointment yesterday.
Upcoming appointments? Weight check on Friday, hoping he's closer to his birth weight of 8lbs. I think I'll feel a lot more laid back about feeding once he's reached this milestone.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Baby is now feeding without the nipple shield but I'm struggling with getting a good latch and now my nipples are getting sore. My rave is just the amazingness if being home and out of the hospital/NICU with our little family. Looking forward to newborn photos tomorrow!
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions? So excited that my post delivery swelling is gone! Feeling pretty good and trying not to overdo it because I really don't notice any symptoms from the csection.
GTKY: Now that the end is near for the rest of us, what's one thing we are looking forward to? And for the mommas who already have their LO's what's one thing you are happy you can do again? Every day I have more and more clothes I can actually fit into! Although I need to take nursing into consideration which leaves out a lot of them.
It's a boy!
Almost 1 week PP
What size is baby?
Baby is almost back to birth weight after a 8.7% loss when we went home. He was 7lbs 11oz yesterday.
Upcoming appointments?
Newborn hearing screening tomorrow.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rave- he is such an amazing sleeper. He is consistently sleeper 3-4 hour stretches. He is great at night, just wakes up to eat and goes back to sleep. I'm so thankful for this cause my second child was a miserable sleeper (well never did sleep)
Rant- my incision effing hurts. I'm a week out and still getting out of bed is brutal. I don't remember being like this with my last two kids.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
I'm constantly STARVING breastfeeding is going well but I've been pumping like crazy to build a stash and my boobs are going crazy with the output. It's making me so ravenously hungry though, I don't think I'll be loosing much weight cause I'm sure I eat more calories still than I burn from the nursing and pumping.

I am happy to not have to pee all the time. Even though I haven't had wine, I'm still looking forward to the next opportunity to have some.

He's growing like a weed and should be with as much as he's breastfeeding.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Breast engorgement is no joke.

Absolutely loving being able to sleep on my belly again, which is surprising since i rarely slept on my belly before pregnancy.
39 weeks
What size is baby?
A pumpkin, still measuring big (95th percentile), but running out of room.
Upcoming appointments?
39 week appointment yesterday, the plan was to induce today if the cervix was favorable but I'm only 1 cm dilated and no effacement, he isn't descending. Next week we get another ultrasound to check fluid and baby size. OB set a cutof for 41 weeks so we won't go past Halloween, but still not sure how we're getting this baby out.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Ready for this baby to be done, went on a 3.5 mile walk with the dog toda, hoping it'll help.
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Hips and pelvis and pubic bone are so ache-y, walk didn't make it better or worse. Random vomit inducing heartburn.

He weighed in at 8lbs 3oz at his last appointment, and has no doubt gained plenty since, the little piglet.

25th PP appointment with OB
27th Johnny's appointment with the neurologist
28th Johnny's 1 month (wow...) appointment with his Pedi
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I just love this little human ♡
Symptoms/Cravings/Aversions?
Just feeling all the feelz and eating all the foodz. I have an aversion to people and leaving my house. I will be inquiring about whether or not I should pick back up on antidepressants at my next appointment, I'm a horrible she'll of a person right now.

Honestly having another outside baby has proven far more restricting than having an inside baby. I was happy I could sleep on my belly again... for like a day... until my boobs ruined that for me.
