Happy Birthday Sarah!



Hope you have a great day!

From me too!

I'll try to catch up soon...just a quick update

Ellasen Victoria was born on April 4th at 7:09pm.
7lbs 7oz and 19 inches long



Yay we're home!!!!!

Congratulations! I'm glad BF is going well and sorry your epidural didn't come through for you like you hoped. I've had a couple like that myself. NO FUN! But at least you got a gorgeous little girl out of it, right?

As far as I know.
There is a lot of stuff up there... DH and I usually avoid Pittsburgh itself but like that area.

Well, if you go that way-- stop. It's about a two minute drive from the interstate... if you know what you're looking for, you can see the outlet and factory from the interstate itself. Yummy.

I'll see how I survive the drive and the store experience, but I'll bring the directions!

From me too!

Thanks!!

Heres a pic of my DS seeing his baby sister for the first time

Anyways...brief synopsis..
11am on Saturday, my water broke as I was bringing in a bag from the car. Thought that was it... turns out there are several big gushes... LOL. My water never broke like that with any of the others. About noon I say we'll head towards the hospital way (since we live an hr away) but I'm not going in because without contractions I"m afraid they'll send me home again. Some minor contractions started in the car about 12:30pm, but nothin major so we hit Wendys drive-thru. As DBF talks me into going into the hospital about 1:30, I'm upset because I look like I peed my pants. Nice
They admit me and say I"m not going home since my water broke. Checked me, still only dialated to 2. They decide to give me pitocin around 3pm. By 4pm the contractions are ROUGH and I ask for a drug prior to epidural. I'm dialated to 3. Within 1 hr, I'm screamin for the epidural, they give it to me while dialated to 3.5 then I'm at 9.5 within 45minutes. The epidural numbed me for birth...but NOT for contractions. That wasn't the outcome I was hoping for... LOL
She was born at 7:09 pm. Worth it all but I wasn't a happy camper

I must say, I feel much better already and breastfeeding is going good

Aw, what a great picture!

Sorry the birth was kinda rough for you but the end product made it all worth it And I am glad to hear that bf'ing is going well for you. I keep hearing people say how much they didn't like it and how hard it was, it was making me nervous Well keep us updated when you can and congrats on your beautiful baby girl!

Morning everyone!

So I did something crazy last night--I tried to sleep in my bed instead of the couch. Doesn't sound crazy right?

DH came in around midnight and I got up to pee and I was in a lot of pain--all my muscles were angry. But I went back to the bedroom...I woke up about 2am and I was in a LOT of muscle pain--I felt like I had fallen down a mountain--so I moved back to the couch and woke up at 8am with only my normal amount of pain.

Weird, huh? I think it all stems from the way I sleep in the bed vs. the couch. I often wake up in a completely different position on the couch, but in the bed I almost never move--I think I hold myself more rigid and try not to turn and disturb my DH. Isn't that nuts?! Plus our bed is pretty firm and the couch is super soft.

Man am I tired this morning!

Hi everyone! I am Angela. I found out I was pregnant on April Fools Day!! I go tomorrow for an ultrasound to see how far along I am. I am thinking around 8 or 9 weeks but we will see.

Ohhh.. that stinks. Sucks that we need our sleep even more and it's harder than ever to get, huh?
Our bed hits above my belly button if I stand beside it.. and I constantly wake DH up when I attempt to get out of it in the middle of the night to pee.
Can't take the couch.. doggie has his name all over that.

I have an ultrasound at 1:30... woohoo for getting to see my boy again!!!
And meeting DH for lunch at Panera.. yum...


*ETA*
Thats so not fair- I just read my ticker and all week I've been telling DH I'm super excited for CAKE at the baby shower Saturday

Just a post to see my ticker!

 

[harleyquinn]

Just a post to see my ticker!

Ha! I'm actually in that phase (the one in your ticker)right now at 24 weeks. It's mainly my clothing though. I'm still wearing my normal shirts which were always designed to hide the belly area--so I normally just look fat.

BTW my driver's license picture was awesome to get at 24 weeks preggers--I look all bloated. And now I get to look that way for 5 years! Yay!

 

[ecteacher23]

Can you add me to the list, I am due Dec. 3rd.

My ticker is pretty accurate right now, I work at a school and still haven't told my students about me being pregnant and I just had a student come up and touch my belly and say "Do you have a baby in there?" I guess I should probably tell them soon!

You might try 'misplacing' your license and having to get a new one. Of course, this isn't a guaranteed solution as some states will just print up another copy using the pic on file.

 

[Disney Ron]

Hi everyone! I am Angela. I found out I was pregnant on April Fools Day!! I go tomorrow for an ultrasound to see how far along I am. I am thinking around 8 or 9 weeks but we will see.

Angela, welcome and congratulations!!!

I had lunch with my parents today and they got me a bunch of cute little girl things for Emma. These are the first pink things so far. I was so excited, I still can't believe we are having a girl.

 

[december]

Can you add me to the list, I am due Dec. 3rd.

That is a great birthday-it is mine! I'll be 37 this year.

I got told to go home from work again today. I started vomiting after lunch and couldn't stop. I only missed one class (I refused to leave at first but finally gave up) so hopefully I won't get docked in pay. 34 wks pregnant-you'd think it would be better by now!

Sorry you are not feeling well! Is this rare or still happening to you on a regular basis?

Ecteacher, welcome and congrats!!!!

 

[december]

I still throw up several times a week, but it usually isn't as bad as it was this afternoon. I haven't had to leave work in months.

If I can work 3 more weeks, my state tests will be over with. When May gets here, I'm only going to work when I feel like it!

 

[Piecey]

Okay, back from my ultrasound. If I overshare pictures, tell me and I'll stop.. but I'm an addict and love to see pictures!

He weighed in at 4lbs8ounces. No idea what percentile that is, I'm sure my Dr. will tell me Thursday, though. Measuring due on May 29th.
.... and he is HEAD DOWN!
He has assumed the position!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here he is.. with very, very pouty lips.. the US tech said "Seriously, those are the CUTEST lips I have ever seen." and she kept the thing on his face for like five minutes and we watched him lick his lips!

Better picture of his whole face, but can still the huge lips!

And.. a foot. Upside down. Because while he was head down, he had his arm across his face holding onto his toes because he had his other leg behind his head... so this poor foot was all alone.

 

[DannysMom]

You know without someone pointing out features & landmarks, I find looking at U/S pics to be sort of like looking at a Rorschach test & trying to figure out what it is you see. Maybe it's just me. Guess I'd be a terrible u/s tech.

Not that I'm discouraging anyone from sharing, I know I'm always excited to see my u/s -- but I do need someone to point out what it is exactly I'm looking at!

 

[Maggimus]

I was about to post the same. Im terrible at reading u/s. I don't see anything but a bunch of black and white, unless its a perfect silhouette. I wish I saw lips and stuff, I think i see a foot though! Hey, thats progress for me. I have my gender u/s next Wed and im afraid I wont understand anything she is saying or what im seeing! lol

WAIT: Im editing this. As i pressed submit i think i saw lips and nostrils in the first photo. Is it a REALLY close up of the face??
