DVCSince02 Baby Watch

[TheBeadPirate]

So let's see... what's new today. Well, I'm going to the docs at 12pm today so hopefully I'll have some news to share.

My MIL is going to fly in from Florida from the 22-29. Need to find an air mattress for her to sleep on. I'm going to put her in the baby's room since he won't be sleeping there yet and I don't think she'll fit in the crib (although she is quite petitie). She used to have an in-home daycare and is awesome with the kids so I'm glad she is coming. Plus she cleans and does laundry!! whoo hoo!!!

Oh, my list of things to take to the hospital. Have I forgot anything?

camera
video camera
pillow
robe
slippers/socks
2 outfits for me
3 outfits for baby (for hospital picture)
make up
hair stuff
shower stuff
cell charger
presents for kids from baby
cord blood kit (I'm donating the cord blood)
snacks and a change of clothes for Chris

Hate to pack a bunch of stuff, because I don't want to have to drag it all back.

That's it for now. I'll update everyone after I get back this afternoon. Everyone pray for some dialation!!

As long as those snacks include CAKE of some kind, you're good.

Drugs? Oh wait, they give those to you there, unless you want to bring your own special kind.

oh and mesh underwear and super gigantic pads......nevermind they give those to you there too.....lol....figured i would help with the gross out factor a little.

Good Luck Jen!!!

I prefer the ice pack pads! Those rock!
That's reminds me, where is that squirt bottle, can of Dermoplast, stool softener, and tucks?
That was too funny!!!!!!! You crack me up Michelle!

Don, are you grossed out?!?!?!?

So..... went to the doctors today.... I'm 2cm dialated and 75% effaced. Doc wrote up my orders for induction for the 10th! Woo Hoo! So that means after 5am, we can expect a phone call from the hospital saying come in, we have a bed for you. On the other side, if there is no bed, I may have to wait until later in the day for that coveted phone call.

I'm very excited and a bit nervous. Have a lot of logistics to figure out. Like who's going to take DD to the bus (my mom will pick her up), and who is going to take DS to daycare and pick him up? It's hard to plan this stuff since it mostly depends on when I get a bed and when I deliver.

Life would be so much easier if I were rich.

You are so ready to have this kid extracted, aren't you?

How long do you have to stay in hospital for after the baby is born in the USA?

How long do you have to stay in hospital for after the baby is born in the USA?

Here it's 2 nights after delivery for a regular birth. 3-4 nights for a c-section.

Oh, I forgot one thing.... I lost 2 pounds. That makes a grand total of 9 pounds gained.

I was in 18 hours with my second - as long as mum and baby are good we get to leave but that may be something to do with our NAtional Health Service

9lbs - is that all!! that is fantastic - wish I had been like that

 

[chickie]

Wow Jen! 9 pounds!
That's how much I gained with my one and only. The only problem is that I came home from the hospital weighing the same as when I went in to deliver! They said it was all water weight, but I don't know. I did finally lose it, but darn the luck...I found it again!!!!
Here's to an easy, fairly quick delivery(don't want it to come TOO fast), and a healthy, happy baby boy!!!
Good luck!

Here, I'll SCARE that baby outta her!!


Hey, Jenn!!! My mom only gained 5 lbs with me..


So HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE GETTIN' WITH #3!!!! (meaning "something like me")

 

[DVCsince02]

I've been tempted to take a picture of my huge belly. Especially since this may be our last baby. I don't have a lot of pics of me being pregnant because I'm usually the one taking the picture. DH doesn't do such a great job with the camera unless you like be headless.

As far as my weight goes, well I'm not petite by any stretch of the imagination, nor am I overweight. I'd call it above average.

 

[BRobson]

You have to take a piccie - I never took enough photos

 

[parrotheadlois]

My niece has her picture taken regularly by her husband. Always standing sideways by the same wall, with her hand under her belly. It's nice for us aunts who aren't getting to share in the experience with her to see the progress! And with twins - what progress!!! She probably looks bigger than you do now Jen. But she's doing good and the babies are growing as they should - they're about 1-1/2 pounds each (or were a week or so ago) (twin girls).

9 lbs!!!

So not fair. Chubby Chicks like me gain 9 lbs at Thanksgiving!!

I bet you look great.

Take a Picture!!

 

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

You have to take a belly shot I have that as the first pic in EThans baby book from the day I went in. Oh yeah dont forget a hair dryer/curling iron they dont have them any longer and all my pics have me with a blonde afro from not blow dryer or curling iron.

quick high five for slightly above average girls!

I gained close to 30 for my pregnancy. I've lost it all at least for now and working on those last 5 of fertility drug weight. what a pain. i pay out the wazoo, stick myself nightly with needles to get prego and end up gaining weight as a result before i was even preggo. thanks a lot uterus and ovaries! why can't you work like normal people?

i might still have my squirt bottle around here, how about i pack it up and send it as a baby gift? I'll throw in some tuck's pads too! hey, those will be your best friend for a few weeks, right?

SEPT 10th is perfect....
<----my 35th bday!
