Week/fruit/EDD or how old is baby: 38w3d/ukulele FTM, etc: STM Appointments: Weekly MW visit on Friday Team/Baby Name?: Green Symptoms/How's PP recovery?: Fatigue, low BP Milestones: Baby can feel free to come anytime Rants: DH turned to me last night and said "Can you go just into labour?" I thought he was mad about something but then he said "I want to hold my baby!" Raves: I had TWO surprise showers in the past week! My doula team made me a cake & gave me some gifts including PP doula time which I super excited about! The next day my Mom & sister threw one for me too. DH was most excited about freezer food we got and the money that said it was for freezer meals, he keeps shopping for them but the local store that does them well (but $$$) is closed this week.

Week/fruit/EDD or how old is baby: 39w3d Pumpkin 8/16
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: just got home from most likely my llast one.
Team/Baby Name?: Blue
Symptoms/How's PP recovery?: everything unpleasant except swelling. No swelling this time around like last time.
Milestones: Full Term
Rants: no cervix progress at my check today. So I wanted to move my C date to Monday to give me more time but they didn’t have any openings next week. So I’m stuck with Friday. Why can’t I just go into labor so I can try for a VBAC?!
Raves: wfh this whole week so I don’t have to deal with back to school traffic.
Questions for the group?: any natural labor techniques work for anyone?

Week/ fruit/ EDD or how old is baby? 5 days old
FTM, etc: STM
Appointments: today for weight check, Wed lactation specialist at hospital, next Wed 2 week appointment
Team/ baby name: Alexandra NN Alex
Symptoms/ how’s PP recovery? I’m still quite sore. And my left thigh has a numb pocket from epidural which is weird.
Milestones: an outside baby! We’ve survived the first few nights at home.
Rants: just hate the hormonal mood swings. Breastfeeding struggles but I’m seeking out help.
Raves: baby girl is pretty easy to soothe thus far.
Questions for the group? Any tips on making it with more than 1 kiddo? DS is 4.5 so not super little but it’s hard to split time and entertain him while caring for LO.

Week/fruit/EDD or how old is baby: He is 5 weeks old! FTM, etc: 3rd Appointments: One month appointment tomorrow. I’m excited to see how big he has gotten. Team/Baby Name?: Dominic Symptoms/How's PP recovery?: Recovery was fine for me. I’m back to exercising and hoping to build up some strength again! Milestones: survived 2 weeks alone with 3 kids 👍🏻 Rants: We haven’t been spending all day every day outside like we usually do in the summer. It’s just harder with the baby. So I’m kind of bummed and feel like I’m wasting summer. Raves: Questions for the group? Do you keep a baby book? I kept a first year calendar for both girls, so I just ordered one for him and I’ve got to start filling it out since I’m already a month behind!

robinanne I have a baby book filled out for DS1 and I already have one for DS2. I like to look back at the monthly pictures. Maybe their wives will appreciate it one day.

Another question: if you had heartburn during pregnancy, has it gone away yet? I still have it ☹️. I hope this isn’t my life now!

cookswithwine: Having a deadline worked for DD. We had an induction scheduled for the Monday because DD kept moving her head and our OB/GYN was the only one who would try and move it back rather than prepping for a c-section. My water broke Saturday, her head was perfectly engaged, and she was born Sunday. Nothing else I did worked, but I didn't try nipple stimulation, which I was planning to do, so maybe follow peachesncream advice? friendofdobby: I'll be in the same place soon too. Sorry I have no advice. My BFF says it's great how watching the older one play engages the younger one(s) (this is her 3rd) so in the future that will help! robinanne: FFFC - I still haven't finished DD's baby book & first year calendar. I think #2 will not like that DD has 2 but they were gifts from both Moms so I didn't want to reject one... and you never know if the second will happen. We have a first year calendar for #2. I'm hoping have only one book means I won't get behind. beenthere: I have anxiety that was a panic disorder around the time I had DD. The panic attacks were terrible after she was born. I went on medication for my anxiety and they disappeared. I would definitely encourage contacting your PCP or OB/GYN (whoever you like more lol). My GP wants me to book in within the 6w PP period to check in on my anxiety and I think that's a smart idea in general with the rise of PP mood disorders.

@kore I was just hooked up to my breast pump... I’ll try almost anything at this point.

Baby is here! Born this morning at 8:01am weighing 7lbs 8oz and 19.25” long. Repeat C went smoothly, I had some side effects from the pain meds but I’m feeling better now. He’s a pretty good nurser, sometimes it takes him a bit to get a good latch. I forgot how difficult it is to latch a newborn.
