October Babies! (continued)

Love the name Jude it's gorgeous.

MOB - lots of pains that go nowhere here as well, it's so exhausting but I was the same with DS2 as well then had a nice quick labour (3 hrs from first contraction till he was born) so hoping the pre labour is doing its job for a nice quick one again.

Dear Friends,

Got blessed with a baby boy on 10.10.2013 @ 9.11 am. Normal Delivery using mild suction.

Contractions started on 9.10.2013 @ 9.30am, reached hospital @ 12.30 pm… after nearly 24 hours of non stop pain and severe contractions. Delivered my jewel on 10.10.2013 @ 9.11 a.m

Soon after birth he was transferred to incubator for MAS (Meconium Aspiration Syndrome) he was feeling difficult to breath. We were shocked and heart broken seeing his condition, he was in incubator and oxygen pipes till 12.30pm, then he got complications later he was shifted through ambulance to a bigger hospital which was 5 kilometres away from the delievered place and was in incubator and they treated him till this morning. Antibiotics, Cardio Physiotheraphy etc etc. This morning 11 am he returned to normal ward from incubator room.

Now he is free and started smiling too. Tomorrow getting discharged and we will take home our treasure!!! He is very active and so lovable. I cant express my happiness when I see him smile!!! Feeling Gifted with my treasure

Thank you for all your support and guesses!! You were awesome and i am proud of this website and pals around!! Love you all

Congratulations Champranjani on the arrival of your little boy. The MAS and transfer must have been so scary but glad he is doing better now. Enjoy your first days home together.

Congratulations champrajani!
I love the name Jude, and had it "in the running" for ds2.
Vivienne is a champion eater so keeping me up at night. Still I feel like I got more rest yesterday than the last few weeks of pregnancy. Ds1 is in love with Vivi and wants to constatly be playing with her and ds2 seems oblivious. Overall, hectic but not as much as I feared. I'd love to get a pic up but that is a dh thing and I have him pretty busy already. I can't wait to see who's next!

This is a quick pic I snapped of Duncan with my cell phone in the hospital.

Wow, so many babies born since I was last on here! Congrats to all of you. :-)

I thought I posted a little something about how my delivery went on Monday morning.

I got to the hospital at 5:00 a.m. They got me hooked up to pitocin at 6:00. For the next three or so hours I had contractions but they were very small and didn't make much progress. I don't even feel like I can call it labor. At 9:30 they went to check my cervix and my water broke. For the next two hours my labor progressed very quickly. It was my most painful labor but I still refused an epidural. I told my nurse that when it was time to push that things would move very quickly, and that they would need to be prepared! Well, I dilated way quicker than anyone thought and they weren't ready!! They were still bringing things into the room and had not transitioned my bed yet. There was no stopping Duncan though. I actually made an effort to NOT push, but it didn't do much good. He was out without me even pushing really. The doctor came running in the room right at the last second! It all happened so quickly.

My recovery has been great. I think it's been my fastest recovery.

I am so in love with Duncan, I can't even put it into words. He is absolutely perfect, and guess what... The moment I laid eyes on him I was thankful God gave me another little man. My desire and sadness over wanting a girl was GONE. I actually broke down and cried over how thankful I was.

Life is good, ladies!!

How's everyone doing? New mommas, how are your babies? Anyone else feel close to labor?

Katie...totally jumping boards here....your little Duncan is a piece of Heaven!!! He is perfect and another cute addition to your crew!!!!!!

[motherofboys]

Katie I'm crying at your words of joy at having another little boy.
Right now I'm so looking forward to just getting this little man here that I really don't care that his not the girl I dreamed of. But I hope I can have that over whelming thankfulness and love that you speak of.
I'm now 3 days from my due date!

Congratulations Champrajani!

Katie Duncan is absolutely gorgeous!

I'm 3 days overdue here. No signs of anything happening, just lots of painless braxton hicks. I was in labour at this stage with DS2. I've got an appointment this afternoon and they told me that I should get a sweep. But it's not unusual for them to find some excuse not to do it so there's no guarantee that I'll get one.

DH has the flu, he couldn't get out of bed at all yesterday and I was worried I would have to go into the hospital on my own if I went into labour. He's still not great today but he's out of bed. If I go into labour tomorrow I'm hoping he'll be well enough to come with me.

Duncan is completely adorable, I can see why you're so in love
