Nora Margaret born at 12:33 on 12/31 at 34w5d. 5lbz 7oz of pure sweetness. Happy to be on the other side of this, I spent almost 5 weeks in the hospital due to a complete placenta previa and it was decided that we deliver today after a fifth bleed last night. She has needed no NICU time so far and we are both doing well.
I have been a little MIA while here in the hospital but I appreciate this group so much, sending you all so much love and strength for this last homestretch.
We welcomed Isabelle into the world on Saturday, 12/30. At 33 weeks 3 days, she decided she just couldn’t wait any longer. It’s been a long journey that has landed us in the NICU away from our local hospital, but she is making gains every day. We are excited to bring her home someday hopefully soon, fingers crossed!
We do not not know what caused pre-term labor at 31 weeks and then again at 33, and it was a scary experience for everyone to have to see her tranported away just hours after birth, but thankfully my DH was able to go to be with her until I joined them the next day.
Eleanor Carmen born at 5:09am January 19, 2018 @ 37w 4d. 4lbs 15oz
Born via emergency c section after my water broke and labour progressed so rapidly that I almost vaginally birthed a Breech baby in the hallway while being transported to OR for the original planned c section. While being small, baby is doing great and we were discharged after 48 hours.
Our little Kateri decided she was ready to make her debut at 38 1/2 weeks! After a night of contractions we went in and she was here in less than 2 hours. She was 8 lb 5 oz and has the squishiest little cheeks!
Little Olivia decided to make her debut on 1/26/18 after the doctors decided that the pre-e symptoms were too much for my body to take. She weighed 6lbs 6oz and was 20 inches long. She’s been living it up on the outside and likes to party mostly at night.
Miss Evelyn Quinn made her debut on 1/25/18 at 38 weeks! We went in for a growth ultrasound on the 24th where they found a placental abrasion and decided it was best for her to join us in the outside world. The process went smoothly and after only a couple pushes our healthy baby girl was born weighing 6 lbs 7 ounces and 18 inches long ♡ We're all happy to be home and doing our best to adjust.
Meet Beau Alexander! Born 1/26 at 36 weeks 2 days due to cholestasis and low amniotic fluids. Baby boy weighed in at 7lb 7oz, 19.75” tall. He had a 6 hour NICU stay until he regulated breathing. We came home 1/28, and all is well minus battling a little jaundice. Thankful for no further complications. Best wishes to all of you as you approach the finish line!!
Nicklas Braden was born 1/31/2018 at 37 weeks via planned repeat c-section due to choleostasis. 6 lbs, 7 oz and 20 inches long. Some issues with low blood sugar but hopefully they will resolve today!
Elliott Elizabeth was born Feb 1st at 36wks 5 days due to PIH. She is 6.5 pounds and 19 inches. Having a little trouble maintaining body temp and sugar but doing amazing with everything else including bfing!
Kennedy Lauren born 1/28/18 at 11:56am via c section at 36 weeks 3 days due to suddenly developing pre eclampsia which rapidly turned into HELLP Syndrome. 7 pounds 3 oz and 20.5 inches.
Camden Matthew born 2/8/18 at 8:51 am via repeat c section weighing 9lbs 10.6oz (big brother weighed 9lbs11oz!) 20.6 inches long, he is absolutely perfect and we are so in love!!!
Samantha Alice (Sammy) born Feb. 7, about 10 hours after my water broke completely off guard, after going to bed around 11 the night before. Got up to pee and it was showtime. She was due Monday, February 12th. She's got a full head of dark blonde hair...no idea where that came from, as mom and dad were both super light blonde as kids (and I didn't even have hair when I was born.) She is perfect and we're in love.
I apologize, I haven’t posted here in so so so long, but while I was awaiting baby’s birth, I really loved seeing baby’s come up here, so hopefully this encourages someone else still waiting.
Team green turned team pink! Miss Lilliana Vivienne made her entrance into the world yesterday Feb 12th (her due date) Born at 3pm weighing 6lbs 15 Oz and 21.25 inches long.
I was in the January board (with two different due dates). I was induced at 40 weeks 6 days and finally gave birth to my precious little boy, Elliott. I was induced at 7am and had him at 9:09pm. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever done. Thank you for being my valentine.
Lyra Hazel Viola came via induction and lots of struggle on 2/19 at 11:26 am (original EDD 2/8). She is a sweet and stubborn, amazing babe. 7 lbs 10 oz, 20 inches.
Charlie made his grand entrance on 2/16 at 8:43pm. 6 lbs 3 oz, 19.5 inches. EDD was 2/17. He's a sleepy little peanut who makes the sweetest little sounds.
Gabriel was delivered via c-section on 02/05/2018 at 4:14pm, weighing 9lbs 2ozs and 21 inches long at 36wks 5dys. EDD was 02/28/2018. I went to my doctor's appointment and was sent to the hospital, because I was 5cms dilated and the amniotic sac was pushing down. I'm in love with my beautiful, strong and very smart baby boy. Welcome to no sleep!!!
Leighton Noelle was born 2/27 at 2:52pm. 7 lb 10 oz and 20". EDD 2/28, so I didn't make it to my induction date, but labor stalled and I had to have pitocin anyway.
