EXCITED!!! Need to share!

[snubie]

Thank you guys so much! I can't believe how many of you all had early babies! I keep telling DH that it could happen any time now and all we keep thinking about it "oh crap! we don't have everything we need yet!!! "
We only just picked our hospital today... and even the lady who was touring us said we were a bit late...lol. We just couldnt agree until we saw this place...then we KNEW this was where we wanted to go! (And SO easy to get to from our house!)
We signed up for a childbirthing class...again...late...Our late class is the day BEFORE im due! lol. OOPS!
And now im like "OH NO what else do I need to do!" Other than buy the crib of course...Our baby shower is going to be the first week in October because I have family from england here and they will be leaving then...so it feels early to me, but nothing is ever to early.
I guess I was procrastinating because I didnt want to buy anything or do anything too early as I didnt know if we were going to make it...I've lost a total of three babies, all due to medical reasons and all 16 weeks or before...so it's made this one very hard as I've tried NOT to get stressed out for fear i'd lose another...however...we've made it this far, I've picked my hospital, everything else is just extra at this point...everything else is just another thing closer to bringing baby Victoria home! Can't wait until November!

I see you are in Western Mass. So am I! I am curious as to which hospital you picked.

CONGRATS on the new baby.

We're going to holyoke hospital. It was actually the last hopistal on our list as you dont hear too much about it, but someone referred it to us because they had their daughter there 6 months ago. I also saw they have a birthing tub, which is something I've wanted to the last 6 or 7 years! (Pretty much when they started to become more well known...it always seemed like an awesome idea!) But the staff makes you feel like you're their number 1 priority, even though deep down you KNOW you're one among every other pregnant woman. The "puny room" (room #9) is BIG...but it's their smallest room. The security measures are great, the staff is great, the food is crappy (thats what she told us...however...its hospital food...what hospital food is good???? lol) and you stay in ur room the entire time. So we thought it was good...

Her full name is going to be Victoria Lee-Ann. All of which has something to do with succeeding and be victorious...best part...we didnt look up the meanings of the names until after we chose her name. We both liked victoria and i used victoria in all the stories i wrote and Dh was supposed to be named Victoria so he also thought it was very pretty. Then he wanted Ann, and I wanted Lee...so we combined them. Lol. Very simple with us...lol

You have picked a very beautiful name, and I'm sure your little angel will be equally as beautiful.

Lots of good thoughts for a happy and healthy 12 weeks. I remember breathing a big sigh of relief with each of my kids when I reached the 3rd trimester.
Victoria is a beautiful name. I can't wait to hear all about your little Princess when she arrives.

Congratulations!!! I just reached 30 weeks and I know the feeling of relief as I have also been counting Our daughters will also be sharing their name as we plan to name our daughter Victoria Isabella and nicknaming her Bella... In a couple of months we'll be holding our baby girls in our arms, so exciting!!

that is great

I never knew how common early deliveries are until I had my son. He was born at 34 weeks. I devolped severe preclampsia. He weighed 4 pounds. After having a pregnancy 17 months earlier that I had no problems with at all, it was so scary. He just celebrated his 3rd birthday and I thank GOD every single day for both of my children.

Congratulations to you and your family.

 

[crewriam816]

I didnt realize until really this forum HOW common early pregnancies were...everyone I know has always had a late baby by 1 day-2 weeks. Only one person I was friends with was 2 weeks early... I know that its possible, but I guess it's just not commonly spead in my city.

 

[letthewookiewin]

Congrats on week 29!! Only 11 more to before you little angel Victoria is in your arms.
