I feel like I blinked and here we are, 6 months later, wow! Iris temperament DID in fact change haha, she is another fiery little girl just like her big sister. In fact they remind me so much of each other it's scary. She is a heftier looking girl to me then her sister was BUT they weigh almost exactly the same at the same age..weird. Anyways life ( Read more... )

Today is her third day of life, so far she is a very even tempered calm little girl. She is soothed instantly from full on screaming to content when momma holds her..unless she is hungry. She nurses like a champ, seems to have a great latch and also seems to be using the colostrum well (4 big big meconium poops in 24 hours) and I am waiting to hear ( Read more... )

Had a Cervidil put in last night and that resulted in regular mostly painless contractions all night long every two minutes. Went into hospital this am at 3cm and so they decided to try breaking my waters and see if that alone did the job. It, things went fast and Iris was born 4 hours later.

Update: I am at 2cm dilated and 50% effaced, NST and ( Read more... )

Still no baby. I will premise this by saying I know I am lucky that my babies like to stay put and grow big and healthy, as I have friends who were not so lucky and spent lots
Of time on bed rest begging baby to stay put awhile. That being said....come on baby! Paaaaallllleeeessseee come out, induction will be booked in 2 days if you do not. Quit ( Read more... )

35 weeks today :) up 20 lbs total. It's hot and I am large and uncomfortable, but seriously; I can't complain. Of the three this has been my best pregnant. I have virtually no swelling, even in a heat wave, whereas with Evan by 29 weeks I couldn't fit into any shoes but runners. I still have my wedding ring on, something I never accomplished this ( Read more... )
