Best of luck, MP!!! I'm sooo excited for you!!!! The pic of baby boy is so precious! He looks like Lucas did in the last ultrasound pic I have of him before he was born....which I had done about 24 hours before he decided to come....lol!!! Love those chubby cheeks!!! Now I hope you have some awesome dinner plans for tonight....because you won't get to do that again for awhile, girlie, sorry to say!! Go out and enjoy yourself as best you can, and get some good rest tonight! I'll be thinking of you, check in when you can!
JGator, I definitely recommend some alone time when you get home with your hubby and kiddo, especially if you will be nursing. I don't know how you are, but its really hard to be breast feeding every 2 to 3 hours when you have so many visitors. I'm not even a private person and it was kind of uncomfortable for me, especially in the hospital. Between the drs, nurses, techs, friends, and family coming in all day and night, it was nuts. It got a little better when I got home. I can just about handle my Mom and sister here when I'm nursing and that's it. If my Dad or brother or another guy is over, they go into a different room until I'm done. It's so hard though, because all I feel I do is nurse him! It's insane!
Sunny, glad you got your bag packed. Sounds like you're ready to go!
monkey I'll be thinking of you tomorrow!! It's good to hear that you're at a good place mentally with the plan after talking to folks - I think getting the mind right and feeling good about things is such a big part of it all. That is one precious picture!
mp i'll be thinking about you & baby boy this weekend. i hope your induction goes quickly & smoothly. and so excited you'll get to meet your little man before the weekend's over
blondebunny i failed my one hour GTT too! my doc said the levels were "slightly elevated" whatever that means exactly. i don't go back for my 3 hour test till the 23rd. someone on this thread (i think mp) mentioned that there is a high probablity of a false positive w/the one hour test. i'm hoping that's the case for both of us! how funny about your cat. we have 2 dogs & are a little concerned about their adjustment. but we'll see....
jgator maybe that baby will get moving before next week! sorry it didn't happen this time.
Thank you everyone! Induction was successful and baby boy is here! 8 lbs 5 oz. 21.5 inches. So far so good. Epidurals are amazing! Delivering a baby is hard work! More soon.
Congratulations Monkey and Mr Monkey!!! And welcome Baby Monkey, can't wait to hear all the details!
Baby Monkey is almost exactly the same size as Wee Button... So looking forward to having you over on the new Mammies thread with me and Dani, our baby boys are all so close in age!!!
