Pregnancy

Eleven O Five

August 4, 2011

When I was pregnant with Judah we knew he was going to be big. I mean, that’s what it seemed like from the ultrasounds. It’s hard to tell with Polyhydramnios though, all that fluid skews things a bit. When he was pulled out my OB said “He’s not 6 pounds!” to which I said “He’s [...]

Make Plans, God Laughs.

July 12, 2011

  Isn’t that what they say? We’ve been waiting for my sister to have her baby for weeks. Things didn’t seem to be moving along and she finally had a plan to get things going on Monday evening, followed with an induction on Tuesday if she didn’t deliver over the weekend. Friday night I texted [...]

D-Day (Let’s get it Started)

July 3, 2011

Today is the due date for my lovely and talented sister’s first baby. This is her first child and the first girl in the family. To say we are excited is an understatement. This will also officially give me a new title- AUNT! I’m the only one with kids in my family and I am [...]

Heart, Meet Sleeve

June 30, 2011

I’ll admit it, I wear my heart on my sleeve.  For better or worse, that’s just how it is.  When it comes to blogging and social media this can be a good and a bad thing, especially when it comes to parenting choices. Social media is spectacular for finding like-minded people to support and commiserate [...]

Bringing Home Baby: Then and Now

March 24, 2011

When we brought Judah home from the hospital, I couldn’t help but notice the similarities and differences in that first days compared to the first days and weeks home with Lincoln and Wyatt.  Both times we went to be discharged, someone (I’m looking at you Lincoln and Judah.) had a bilirubin spike leading to hours of testing and [...]

C-Section Bliss

November 22, 2010

I’ve had two pregnancies.  Both were terrible ordeals fraught with constant nausea and vomiting until long after 30 weeks.  I wanted to be a happy while I was pregnant.  I wanted to have that glow and contentment.  I hated pretty much every minute past 6 weeks.  Until the end that is. With the twins, once [...]

There is an end in sight. Thursday, 11-13-08 at 1:30pm. That’s right. If they don’t come on their own before then we have scheduled a c-section. After going back and forth over our options we decided this was the best plan. Between the extra fluid and now this nasty rash- seriously, I might scratch them [...]

Not to worry.

October 25, 2008

Everything is fine, just an overly cautious midwife. We had another Ffn and it came back negative. Contractions were 15 minutes apart and classified as “irritability”. I’m dilated to almost 2 but still not thinning. Both babies are high above my cervix, so no pressure to speak of. So we’ll keep these two inside for [...]

Polyhydramnios. So far it’s just been “extra fluid” now they’re actually calling it what it is when there is too much “extra”. Today we’ll go in to the MAC and see what another doctor thinks. It’s unlikely that they will do an amnio. I think the biggest thing to be concerned about at this point [...]
