Spencer's echo-cardiogram looked good. No problems found!

History: I started EC'ing my LO when she was 2mo. I started over a hospital basin on the kitchen counter and sometimes just the sink. I got a BBLP and even sometimes took her to the big potty eventually. Shortly after her 1st birthday, though, I had knee surgery and our EC practices just went right out the window ( Read more... )

When I was 5 weeks pregnant with Sasha, I got a stomach bug and wound up in the ER getting fluids. I was dehydrated.

I'm 5 weeks pregnant again and woke up with a stomach bug. Thankfully, no vomiting this time. I think I'm past the worst of it.

Still, it increases my concerns of a repeated threatened abortion (miscarriage).

I haven't had too much nausea just yet. I haven't had much heart burn. I did over eat one night and really regretted that, for HOURS! I am definitely more tired! That helps me to remember to take my vitamins! I need all the help I can get ( Read more... )

• I want to make a post about the trends of my period of late, but I haven't had time yet.

• I... already lost track of what all I was going to say here because I have too much going on right now.

• I have baby fever, but don't have another pregnancy in the works / plans just yet• I'm spending some time quite worried about finances right now ( Read more... )

The more I think about trying for another child (trying for a boy), the more I itch to be pregnant again. It is a little too soon yet, but it has been on my mind a lot lately. So... I've dug out my old chart files and requested the Natural Family Planning book as well as the Choose the Sex book from the library. So, I'll begin the research again so ( Read more... )

We also asked our doctor if we should not consider having another child. Elmo said "we want one more." We've actually been toying with the idea for a while and I told Elmo he had until I turn 39 to decide. I don't want to be having a baby after I'm 40. Doc said "who wouldn't?" (He has several children of his own.) He asked why we wouldn't. I ( Read more... )

My colostrum came in before Sasha was born, so she got that. It helped her meconium start passing right away. My breastmilk came in within 48 hours. Textbooks say it can take about 4 days. Within 24 hours or so of that, I was engorged and swearing that I had enough milk to feed a third world country. I still get engorged, but it has calmed down a ( Read more... )

On Tuesday morning, we got up at 3:30 for Elmo's Monday of work. I stayed up, though I usually sleep while he is gone. I took a half hour nap before our doctor appointment at 11:30. Sasha was healthy and the doctor stripped my membranes again. It was obvious none of us really expected it to work this time, since it did nothing the week before. We ( Read more... )

That's right, boys and girls, Sasha Bella has arrived! I tried to update via mobile, but it wouldn't work. Sasha and I are home now, though. So... this is the short / pic update version. I'm sure I'll post my entire birth story, but for now - the bit for which I know everyone is really waiting!

( Show me the baby! )
