38+6 today. I really thought he’d be here by now. I’m sobbing into my cornflakes because emoshions. I did this with DD, too. Haha. She came at 40+2 and I cried when my nephew arrived two weeks before his cousin. I SWEAR, I’M SO HAPPY FOR YOU. IGNORE MY TEARS AND SNOT.

Who else is left that doesn't have their baby yet? I am still hanging out. 37 weeks today!! I am hoping she comes soon. DS actual birthday is this Saturday so I am hoping it is not on that day. I want to be there for his birthday but I also want to get this baby out, so I am conflicted.

Well, the quiji baby might be coming sooner rather than later. Went to my 39-week appointment this morning and my blood pressure was high with a trace amount of protein in my urine. Off to the big hospital.
Hooked up to the monitors. Baby boy looks phenomenal (nurse’s words). IV is in. Blood work just went down. 2-3cm dilated but baby’s head is high. Having contractions but not in labor. So, lots of practicing happening.
Just chilling until we get word on whether I’ll be induced or sent home. EEP.

Fake out: Doc sent me home. Blood work was all good. BP was slowly making its way down. Nurse was pretty perturbed because she was convinced that I’d be staying and did an IV. I have to see this doctor tomorrow at 9am for another BP check and we’ll go from there.
He put me down for induction on Friday but not sure I’ll keep it. If I’m healthy and he’s healthy, leave it be. Let’s discuss at 40+ weeks.

This kid nurses all the time and it's messing with my mind. I haven't been engorged at all this time around. We have a weight check next Thursday, hopefully all this nursing means good weight gain and not that I have low supply this time around.

charlotte LOLOLOL. Seriously cracking up. It’ll be such a relief to have him in my arms. Between him being our rainbow, the BP issues, and being a week from our due date, I’m so ready.

Anyone have thoughts on BP being 135/95 and non-painful contractions happening every 10 minutes all day? Do I wait until my 9am check or call the nurses line to see what they think?

It’s baby day! Blood pressure was high enough for the doctor to offer induction for today. I took it. Let’s do this. In triage now. All hooked up. Just waiting on our next steps.

There are currently no rooms for me, so I’m stuck in triage on a low dose of pitocin. I was 3.5cm dilated. Baby’s head was high. BP still cranky but not overly scary.
I can’t wait to be in a regular bed and/or be allowed to walk around. My back is killing me.

Who else is left that doesn't have their baby yet? I am still hanging out. 37 weeks today!! I am hoping she comes soon. DS actual birthday is this Saturday so I am hoping it is not on that day. I want to be there for his birthday but I also want to get this baby out, so I am conflicted. If quijibo goes next, we might be the only 2 left? I’m 39+3 so I call dibs on next!😉

We have a baby. DS arrived at 12:45am on Thursday, December 6 (39+1) in very dramatic fashion. That will be a tale for another day.
Unfortunately, he’s in the NICU, so I don’t have any fun stats on him just yet, except that he has what looks like blonde / red hair! I can’t wait to see it when it’s all washed up.
We enjoyed some skin-to-skin time, but he was having trouble with his breathing and transitioning into the outside world. He went for chest X-rays and they put him on a cpap machine. I feel like this is par for the course for our babies, no?!
Once I get myself a little more rest and put together, we’re going to head over to see him.

The OB doing my c-section yesterday did tell me though first signs of real labor she wants me in ASAP and we will just do the c-section, no waiting it out to see if it is really real. With my history she doesn't want to risk not going the c-section route. So I'll just be hanging around obsessing over whether I'll go into labor before the 19th...
