oooooo, I'm so excited for you! these last few days are hell, eh? leane never dropped like that, so I don't know about the watermelon between your legs thing....but i had a lot of pain in my groin.....it was never diagnosed why, either, as it continued well after I had Leane. i can't wait to see her! I still remember you're first post when you found out you were pregnant! at the time, I was at about the stage that you are, lol. Time goes by too fast! LOL, I just got a phone call while I was typing this....the EA at my dh's college just had a baby boy this morning, 8lbs, 7oz. Poor lady had to have a c-section, though.... apparently she was too small (she's the same size as me (5'2))). his name is Theadore! Isn't that cute!
You'll be getting Cleomycin every 8 hours for the GBS. Start taking your probiotics now so you don't end up with a yucky yeast infection or thrush after the birth.Almost done, mama! You're doing such a great job!
They do actually. One of the reasons I chose the birth center over a homebirth. They have birthing balls, birth stools, the bed, sturdy things to lean on and squat against, and a big ole tub fit for both me and Brian... If he decides to join me. Plus, I got some numbers for free doulas....so maybe we'll have a birthing assistant after all.
The supplies of the birthing center sound great! I'd chose a birthing center for these reasons, plus, I live in a 8-party house in a shared flat, I can hear peoples music and washing machines and them doing *whatever*, I wouldn't feel comfortable if they heard me eventually screaming all night. Then again I'd have to move out if I was pregnant, or at least when the baby comes, because it's so small here... hahahaha
I'm excited too! We had a babyshower yesterday and this kid, I swear, is going to be sooooo spoiled! Brian and I had bought one set of onesies, a couple pair of socks, and a hat. That's it. This kid is now fully clothed for at least 6 months. And it's all such cute things! There is one little hippie-esque outfit I can't wait to see her in. It's embroidered denim skirt with an orange almost paisley looking top...I just squealed with delight over that one! Plus, grampa-sphere (brian's dad) bought her some cute little shirts at Disneyland last week when he was there. AND he's paying for diaper service for us. As stoic as he is, I think he's just about as excited as we are. 11 days! Give or take...Hopefully take...
ooh I'm so excited holly!! I keep checking everyday to see if you have had her yet. I can't wait to see pictures... *baby vibes*
AWWW that is so awesome that you have so many ppl supporting you guys and omg it's just so exciting that little outfit sounds adorable, and i also cannot wait to see pictures! i'm so glad things seem to be falling into place so perfectly for you.
Hey Holly, that's so cool about Brian's Dad picking up the diaper service. I was concerned about your lack of a washing machine in your building. But this is Greeeaaaat! It will make cloth diapering much more viable for you guys. Any day now, huh?
Yeah, the washer situation had me wondering...but Brian's dad offered and I was just tickled... And yeah, anyday...*taps foot impatiently*....any day...
