Hi ladies, I'm starting to get a taste of the sleepless nights, because Odinn sleeps a lot during the day. During a growth spurt, it seems it doesn't effect his nighttime sleeping. But the past couple nights, he has been up for two hours every time he wakes, which is a change for him. Still the nigh...

Hi ladies Odinn is officially a week old. He's been doing well. I'm still struggling to increase my milk supply so that he exclusively breastfeeds, but it's going as well as it could considering C-section ladies often have to wait a bit longer to have their milk flow. Add to that the fact the edema ...

Michele, His name is Odinn. He's named after the Norse god who helped created the world. He's the papa of Thor, which is better known from those myths. Anyway, my dh is Icelandic so we wanted a name from his country. As it turns out, Odinn looks a lot like my dh and his paternal grandpa so it's brin...

Hi everyone, I am so sorry it's taken me this long to get to a computer to update you all. I am fine, but it's been a harrowing couple of days. To make a long story short I went in for an induction on Sat. night (was supposed to start the Cervadil to soften and dilate my cervix) and by Sun to get pi...

Hey girls, It's the lone non-mommy among you. I'm sure you're all busy. Yesterday four hours of menstrual like cramping all added up to nada. And somehow in the last day I've managed to catch a head cold. Still can breathe fine, but my head is throbbing. The good news? I think I lost my mucus plug t...

Melissa, Thanks for checking in on me! Had an ultrasound this morning and the baby is measuring (wait for it...) 9 pounds 8 ounces. Yup! Huge. But the baby's head is so low in my pelvis the docs think i'll be able to push him/her out. Amazing. Then again I am not a small girl. Anyway, I've got some ...

WashingtonDa, I'm so sorry about last night. Sounds brutal. I do hope that the baby wakes and eats today so she won't stay awake all night tonight again. I've got to go run some errands, but will check out the newest pics later. As for me, no baby yet. My due date was last Friday and we were thinkin...

Welcome to Michaela Skye! Hopefully soon my baby will arrive too... Lostgirl

Hey ladies, So I had a really good due date even though the baby didn't come. I went for two walks (one twilight walk with the hubby I'll remember forever as a special moment) and did loads of stairs while doing laundry. At night I had some contractions and when I went to bed at 10:30 was finding it...

Hey girls, Well I'm dilated 1cm so there's a wee bit of progress (baby is still super low and I'm still 100 percent effaced). My ob gyn thinks things will start in the next couple of days. I hope! But we made a plan to induce me on Sun. 9/28 after my due date (9/19) if the baby hasn't arrived yet. I...

WashingtonDA, Yup, I'm finding the waiting game a little hard to take, but some afternoons I am enjoying having time to myself to read, or watch a movie. But still, enough already! The pressure down there is constant, the baby is soooo low. I just hope the ob-gyn tells me this morning that I've dila...

Wow MLB so you're basically jetlagging. Night is day and day as night as far as the baby is concerned. I'm glad you got the hang of sleeping during the day. A friend gave me those eye covers that people wear on planes and I had to ask why; she said she used them for exactly that. Being able to shut ...

Has anyone heard from Elca? I wonder how things went for her on Thursday and hope that everything went smoothly. As for me, on Thursday I saw my ob and she liked how soft my cervix was and also said that my sciatica has improved because the baby has dropped even lower. She predicts that I'll be eith...

WashingtonDa, I am still waiting. Patiently? Not so much. I really want the baby out. My husband will say sweet things, like you mean you really want to meet the baby? And I'll say, no I want the baby out! Of course, I do want to meet my baby, but I think nature at this point gives mothers-to-be eno...

Elca,
Hope you're hanging in there. Is your induction for tomorrow definite? If so, are you excited?
