  EDD/Weeks + days: Dec 18th.  Little man arrived on 12/22/2023 at 9:16 (40w 4 day). 
  
  Baby is the size of a(n): 8lbs 2 ounces at birth ! 
  
  Team Green/Team Blue/Team Pink: Baby Boy 💙
  
  Upcoming appointments: appointment tomorrow because I had high blood pressures during labor so have been at home assessing since we left to make sure it stays down.
  
  How are you feeling? 
  I feel AMAZING!!! So happy he is here for Christmas. I have zero pain from delivery. I did have a 2 degree tear that needed stitches but I was up and walking 5 hours after labor without any issues !! Little man was up all night last night crying and feeding every hour but I am so grateful and just love this experience as a mom. 

  
  

  My birth/labor was absolutely beautiful ! Labor for 10 hours and pushed for 30 minutes. I had an entire plan of doing a natural birth and it didn’t go that way at all. I got an epidural and I’m so happy with every decision we made during the process!! 
  
  Raves/Rants: none ! 
  
  Questions: none ! 
  

  
  

  MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!! To you and your family. If your still waiting on your little one, they are coming soon !! Hang in there. I know the last few weeks/days can be hard, but soon you will get to meet them and be filled with limitless joy !

  Raves/Rants: Raves - a little relieved baby wasn’t born yesterday or today (hopefully I don’t jinx it lol - but don’t want the baby to have a birthday on a holiday). Rants - daily reminders from family and friends that the baby isn’t here yet. Giving me A LOT of anxiety.

  EDD/Weeks + days: 39 weeks + 4 days 
  
  Baby is the size of a(n): Small Pumpkin 
  
  Team Green/Team Blue/Team Pink: Blue
  
  Upcoming appointments: My regular weekly appointment on Thursday
  
  How are you feeling? I’m just so ready for baby to be here! We are on the waitlist for an elective induction and so, we are just anxiously waiting by the phone for a call from the hospital to come in. A little sad baby wasn’t here for Christmas this year. 
  
  Raves/Rants: Everyone keeps asking if baby is here, and it’s getting harder and harder to be patient and wait for baby boy to arrive. 
  
  Questions: None

  EDD/Weeks + days: 12/23 or 40w2d
  
  Baby is the size of a(n):  watermelon 
  
  Team Green/Team Blue/Team Pink: 💙
  
  Upcoming appointments: non-stress test 12/26
  
  How are you feeling? Started having contractions every 4-6min apart that are…. Intense. Will hang out at 4 min but then I will take a bath and they will drop down to 6min. Obviously hospital does not want me there yet to check and see if I’m progressing and so I’m just at home feeling frustrated and wanting this kid to hurry up.
  
  Raves/Rants: like most of you (I’m sure) I am so so over everyone asking about the baby.  Turned my phone on do no disturb and just ignoring everyone for the time being.  Also, my doctor scheduled an induction without my approval which was such a disappointment and was so frustrating.  Yes I want this baby out- but it’s my body and I have the right to determine if I want an induction.
  
  Questions: None
  
  Merry Christmas and I hope everyone is doing well!
