It’s a new month! We haven’t done a check-in thread since December so I figured a monthly thread is good enough. How’s everyone holding up? Rama aren’t you having a baby soon?!

😬😬😬 Hooooo boy, any day now! Feeling ready? Mostly. I'm definitely mentally ready, but emotionally I think I'll have some anxiety about it for awhile. 😅 Some days I'm totally good, other days I do the "WHAT DID WE DO?!" circle. 😂

Rama so so close!! So exciting but also scary! I’m 33 weeks today and we still have a lot to do to prepare but I’m starting to feel ready. MH is so funny. He’s the one who has been going crazy buying all the dresses and girl clothes! My job also sucks and has been so so stressful so I am looking forward to maternity leave for that reason. Even though having a new baby is a whole other kind of stress! 😬

I keep checking back to see if we have our first board babe yet! My induction is scheduled for next Sunday (14th), so maybe the 16th at the latest! (Big kid was born in 24 hours from intake to birth, also an induction, so probably the 15th?)

Well I got released from the hospital Wednesday only to come back on Saturday night due to another bleed. Now I am here for another 5-7 days at least. Pretty much have accepted that I’ll at some point just have to stay until she comes. Just hoping I can go home for at least a little bit in between to see the kids and pass the time not in a hospital. Less than 5 weeks until the scheduled C-section and 4 weeks until 36 weeks exactly so it’s not forever. I am just ready for this all to be over so we can know that baby and I are safe. It’s very stressful to be in a constant state of worry..

Also decided today to take leave. I was working for a bit from the hospital but it’s just too much to try to balance. Not going back to work until September. Not gonna lie I am a little excited about that!

How's the visitation policy at your hospital?

I’m 5 weeks away from csection. It’s getting longer and tougher each day. I keep counting down and it feels like it’s forever from now lol.
I ordered an overnight bag so I can start packing for hospital. You never know with twins man. I’m excited but ready and not so ready at the same time.

We have stuff to get by. But not a single thing is pulled out of the basement or sorted or washed. But it's here somewhere....

How's the visitation policy at your hospital? No visitors at all in the antipartum floor. MH was able to be there for the day I was in L&D being monitored there but got booted when I got moved to this floor. It really makes this shitty situation so much worse.

Just having brown spotting that won’t go away! As soon as I have no spotting for at least 24 hours they won’t talk about sending me back home. Been a little crampy too so hoping that goes away as well.

I am holding up okay. Lots of trashy reality TV and online shopping. Definitely open to new ideas tho of things to pass the time!

Babe looked good on US on Tues and performed for my NST today, hallelujah! MFM is talking about scheduling my CS for 36 or 37 weeks...so I will likely be having a March baby instead of April. I think we'll do the scheduling at my next US around 33 weeks.

how is it going Rama? any progress? updates? is baby here?! My induction appointment was supposed to be at 10:30pm (so, about 2.5 hours from now), but I got a call from the hospital that people aren't having babies fast enough, so I need to make sure they have space before we go in. 😂 Short answer: will be pregnant and possibly not even actually checked in until tomorrow. 🤨

Well the bleeding took a turn for the worse and we ended up deciding to deliver at 32 weeks 4 days while things were still not quite emergent but trending that way. The delivery went so smoothly. No issues getting to her or getting the placenta out..thank goodness. It’s actually a relief to know it’s over and we are both safe. She has been a Little Rock star in the NICU so far and off to a much better start than DS. She likely will be there for 3-4 weeks. It will definitely be challenging balancing the two kids at home, not being able to drive and Covid. Overall we are both doing good though and I am very happy about that. She was born Feb 12 and 4 lb 14 ounces
