Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

[Praying4Pink]

Ack, p4p! Your poor son! That's awful. Any news on what he's got?
Hopefully, it's just a little bug and it will pass soon. I'm super bummed out to be sick yet again during this pregnancy...I'm the last one in the family to finally catch it. My throat is killing me! With my due date only 2 weeks away, I'm nervous about being sick while in labour or with a newborn. Hopefully, it runs its course quickly and moves on. Any advice for how to kick something faster??

Jadis - Nope! After all of that he didn't have strep nor an ear infection. He is doing just fine today. I am also sick and maybe he was trying to fight that off. He only had fever that one night so...I think it was just his body trying to fight something off. Yeah I didn't get over my illness the first go round and then I went to get my hair done last Friday and caught chill. Now I am sick again and this time it is much worse. I have just been doping up on vitamin C. The doctor's said no way to really kick it...just making the symptoms more bearable . I would think decaf green tea, lemon, honey, OJ, stuff like that.

Maple - omg the countdown is on. How awesome!!

Praying - glad your son is feeling better, sorry about his poor little throat! Hope you get better soon!

Jadis - feel better too! I've just heard the usual things to help: lots of rest, water and vitamin c!


Hudson is 2 weeks old! Weighs 8lbs 9oz today he gained a pound since last week! I think he's going through a growth spurt - he's nursing every hour/hour and a half right now!

Things really are getting exciting in here!
Have been super busy with the boys. We are getting over food poisioning and have had a lot of family vistors lately. Hopefully things come down a little and we get some down time before the birth of miss.macy!

cvd- congrats on your sweet baby!!! he is soooooooo cute!!!

Maple I am super jealous that you are going to be able to meet your girls in a few short days! I wish you a very successful delivery my dear. And remember...WE WANT PICTURES

Pearl I heard about EPO and Red Raspberry Leaf Tea. I almost did the tea for these last few weeks but I was never in a store that sold it. I know the Vitamin Shoppes here sell it but I didn't live near one and I was too lazy to drive to get it, lol.

AFM: The anticipation is killing me! I was never this anxious with my first even though I was more insecure with him. It doesn't help that I am SUPER huge and everyone is saying I won't make it to my due date. Truth is...I hope I don't but I probably will with my luck. 38 weeks tomorrow so I am completely comfortable having her at this point. I kind of feel like she might come this weekend but I know she will come when she is ready. Also wondering if I will go into labor naturally or if my water will break and I won't go into labor at all. So many variables

Wow Maple how exciting looks like you may be first!!!!!

I've been considering epo and raspberry leaf tea now that i can go natural but am a bit nervous, never really heard it done before, are they any risks to mama or baby anyone know of?

Mrs. P - I know that the RRL tea is herbal so no caffeine or known side effects. EPO is also said to be safe but I have read some other negative things about it that may contradict it. Personally, I think both are fine. I asked my doctor about the RRL tea and she said she personally had not heard anything good or bad about it which I find odd because there are three midwives in that practice. The only other thing is that you would need to pretty much start today because it needs time to work.

[Jadis]

Maple-I'm so excited for you. I'm pretty sure your girls will be the next to grace this board!

P4P-You're sick too?! That's craptacular-we're both in the same boat We have to keep these babies in until we're well enough to be freaking lionesses in labour.

cvd yep that sounds like a spurt to me. I am actually kind of nervous about dealing with all of this breastfeeding stuff. Like I mentioned before, my son never latched so I just pumped until he started having reflux issues. I hope I do okay with this one. Hudson is so cuddly by the way.

Falling so sorry to hear about the food poisoning. That is certainly NOT COOL! Especially when your are preggers. Ugh I hope everyone feels better soon.

Jadis yes craptacular is definitely the word for it. I agree with you on the getting better part because frankly I don't have the energy to do anything now not to mention laboring with this awful bug. Plus it is hurricane season here in Florida so it stormed this morning and I got soaked. It is certainly not looking favorable for me. I need some big time rest and relaxation before this baby comes. Hope you also start feeling much better.

AFM: I am working on my final assignment and I can't wait for this class to be over!!! 38 weeks and this cold is kicking my butt. Just waiting now and counting the days down until I meet my little bundle. Might blow up the birthing ball tonight and have a little exercise....Or maybe just rest, Ha-ha.

Ah! I so hope you have a good experience this time, try not to worry. I dread pumping!!! I want to start a little supply but I have been putting it off lol I'm going to start after this growth spurt. I couldn't imagine having to pump all the time. Not long now at all, she'll be here so soon - hopefully that sickness packs it's bags!

Hi ladies so sorry I haven't posted recently and probably won't but my dad got taken ill then my eldest was hospitalised for 5 days with breathing issues relayed to his asthma then we were due a week in Spain cut short by my dad taking a turn downhill and sadly dying just before I got to him . I'm in turmoil right now. On a brighter side I get to see bub next week as I'm measuring 5 weeks too big for my dates so they want to check baby . Hopefully it's just water retention.
