Been thinking of you sarahh. Hope things are going better. In other news... when you already have pelvic pain I don't suggest straddling/ bouncing on a peanut ball. I followed that with some easy Zumba. I know I'm trying to avoid being induced but is it worth causing myself pain? Inductions can go so many ways. I was induced at 40+5. I was a “generous” 1cm. I was on the highest dose of pitocin for 24+ hours, I did the cervidil twice and used the peanut. I couldn’t really get up bc I had GBS and was on antibiotics. And unless I laid on my left side DS heart rate went wonky. After over 24 hours I got a fever and we did a c section. Even though i went through all that, I don’t have bad feelings about the experience and I don’t regret my c section.

Guys, we picked a daycare!!!! I wish it were cheaper (I'm sure we all do) but this is a few blocks from our house and on the cheaper end of the spectrum of all the places we called. Their model is actually a "drop in" model but they offer full time care for those who want/need it. If Faith is sick, we go on vacation, or just keep her home with us a day/week/whatever then we don't pay for the hours we don't wear and we don't lose our spot! Every other Saturday they are open in the late afternoon and evening hours for drop in "date night" coverage for $9/hour. Now I just need to get a pediatrician, and I'll probably just use the one my sister takes her kids to as long as they are accepting new patients. Sounds like a great daycare! I wish we didn’t have to pay for days we don’t use

I hope you also have a good experience if you do end up being induced

I had a routine OB appointment today. Baby is measuring small (two appointments in a row of baby measuring small).
I have a growth ultrasound scheduled for next week. Hopefully it is nothing to be concerned about.

Oh no pippiann. I know this is the opposite of what you were hoping for, but it seems like he is in great hands and they are really taking the best care of him! And yes, 2018 will be better!!

Is pain at the top of the bump normal? Like where it meets my ribs? It's been off and on for a few weeks but today I laughed and it killed.

I’m sorry, pippiann, that has to be upsetting. But the good part is that your LO is getting great care! I hope everyone is healthy again ASAP.

I was supposed to have an OB appt today, but the nurse-midwife I was scheduled with had a delivery. I don’t like bumping back appts, but this way I do get to see my usual doctor because she will be back from vacation, so that’s a positive. I got the TDaP today and my arm is sore. For this and the flu shot they asked what hand I use (right) and then give it in my left. But I keep forgetting that since I try to sleep on my left side, that bruised feeling in my arm is annoying. Oh well.

I puked again this morning. Good news: I am 34 weeks and now averaging once a week for getting sick so that means maybe 5 more times. Bad news: the past two times have been after breakfast so now I have a short list of things I can't bring myself to eat.

Thanks ladies had to vent. I swear the NICU has this domino effect going on (even tho yes it could be worse). It’s just for precautionary measures to run a few tests that they can’t do at the hospital he’s (was) currently at. Sad story for sure.

Thank you for asking! Today was his 10th hyperbaric oxygen treatment so we are halfway done with those!! Woohoo! The drive there and back is such a beating. Also, insurance agreed to approve us for more (they initially only approved half of what dr requested) after nurse kept telling the male insurance agent over and over that we need these treatments to save a little boy’s penis. 😂 Overall, DS is doing wayyyy better. He’s finally off pain meds and is playing happily again!!! Penis still looks scary but it will for the next 6 months since it’s open, but it is clearly healing and the swelling has gone down a lot. I feel like I can finally breathe again!!!
