Feb '08 Mamas - Happy New Year! - Page 8

post #141 of 166
sarah lynne- i'm sending good peaceful labor vibes for you!!! and like dea says, if not now then soon can't wait for your update.

i've sent out all of my applications, now i just have to hear back and hope that one of them wants me. i keep switching between, i'm going to get in to them all and none of them will want me. ugh. now i just have to wait until the end of feb, middle of march to find out.

either way, we're moving to oregon around may-ish, just saw some friends from there yesterday, i'm so excited, it sounds like it's going to be good for us all.

rynna- i hope you have fun at the farm! it'll feel good i'm sure to get back to that space. not to be nosy but how're things with thrh? i haven't seen you post much lately and i'm curious but don't want to pry if things aren't going well. feel free to ignore this if you don't want to answer!

two more things, hanna andersson has dresses at some costcos for i think 13.99 AND don't spread the word too much(because half the time they sell out before i can pay for them) but the soft star shoe sale starts on monday at 12. just don't buy the laguna playa sandals in size 9 that i want for linnaea and fyi, the smaller sizes like, 7 and under usually hang out until the end when they are 70% off for those that have noobs and might want some little ones.

This thread is soooo exciting lately! And it's WONDERFUL to see posts from so many mamas that we haven't seen in a while!

Dea, congrats again & welcome Hudson!
Lauren, congrats and welcome Holly!

Sarah Lynne - oooooooo sending you birthing labor vibes...I hope you're in a good place right now!

I must say, I'm only 17 weeks but I'm already feeling kind of ready to just have a baby already. Birthing was my favourite part of pregnancy, and hearing about all these babies just makes me want to meet our new one! Sigh. 23-ish more weeks to go. But who's counting. Maybe I'll change my tune once the nausea & deadening fatigue go away. But - babies!!!!!!!!!!!

My redhead has been poor and thus far away. It's depressing. That said, he recently found work... as did the other fellow I've been wanting to meet up with for a while now. At this rate, I'll likely see THRH before the end of February, and the other fellow (as yet un-nicknamed-- that will change) within the next two months. I'm also probably going to hook up with an old friend from school next week. Not in love with that fellow, but there was always some degree of attraction, if you know what I mean. In other words, I'm as jammy a git as ever... just a poor one, who spent the better part of two months being violently ill.

Tristyn Jane Noelle made her entrance at 10:03 pm on Jan 30! She's 7 lbs even, 20 inches even and nurses like a champ already. Perfect apgars across the board...in fact she came out pink! We're totally blissed out and happy she is here. This definately made today a very super special day. I could feel my mom's presence just about the time Tristyn decided to start making her way out. 9 minutes of pushing

I feel pretty good right now although a little tired. She's so tiny compared to Steven and none of my diapers are going to fit her for a while LOL

Full birth story will come later!

Congrats, Sarah Lynne!

congrats sarah lynne!!!!




welcome tristyn! what unusual timing from the universe. linnaea was conceived pretty close to the day that i had to put my dog of 13 years to sleep and it's always been bitter-sweet but it's getting more sweet than bitter.

Wow, congrats sarah lynne! What amazing timing. Big Big hugs. And welcome tristyn.



Dea, slightly belated congrats here at MDC. Hudson looks gorgeous and I am so happy to had a VBAC.

What a busy time for our DDC.

welcome tristyn!!

3 babies in as many days, wow!!
post #149 of 166
rynna- forgot to mention in the excitement of tristyn getting here, i'm happy to hear that it's only been the not-feeling-well and lack of money that is keeping you from getting to it.

and i think i also forgot to mention that i'm really REALLY happy that bear seems to be doing better without the wheat and soy, even if he's not _supposed_ to be allergic to them.

Mamas! (Sarah Lynn needed her own post)
I took Hudson to his newborn check today and he's lost 6 ounces, which is still under the 10%, but I felt so guilty. Breastfeeding isn't going well, and we've been supplementing him, but not enough, which is why he's become so screamy at night. Oh the Mama Guilt of learning that you had the resources and your baby slept hungry, after screaming himself to sleep. I thought we were giving him enough, and all I could think of was when we were told to give Trixie more the forceful puking she'd do. I just didn't want to make him puke. I am in such unchartered waters. Although Hudson is a near dead ringer for Trixie as a baby, they are so different. She was so sickly and weak for the first little while, and he's more robust. I can't rely on what I know from being her Mama. So now, feed him more and revel in the happiness of being a Mama to a healthy baby!
Rynna... goodness! Can't wait to learn the new guy's alias!

May your babymoon be a time for some beautiful bonding, rest, recovery, connection and being gentle with yourself while getting to know your newest family member.
I am so happy for you mamas!

Love, love,

And news- in a different post...

We're expecting!

I think I'm in the same ddc as slgt! I just posted there for the first time tonight, so of course, I had to post here, too! It has been a long, hellish, nightmare of a first trimester. I've been in the hospital with viral gastroenteritis which makes the morning sickness, exhaustion and malaise I had with Amelia look like an all expense paid vacation to Tahiti. Oh what an experience!

We had a heartbeat at 7 weeks, but then they couldn't find one at 8 or 10- they couldn't even find the baby- so needless to say it has been scary, heartbreaking, worrysome- all that and more. At week 12 we heard the heartbeat with our OB- tears, joy, hope... 15/16 weeks now and our midwife says this baby is sticky and wants to be here. I just hope the baby is OK.

I still haven't told my friends- is this crazy? I just couldn't bear telling bad news if it didn't work out. And for five weeks, I didn't think I could live- and I didn't want to live I was in so much agonizing pain. Seriously, I didn't think a baby could pull through this.

So I am glad to be here, to be better, to have a baby, to hope and work towards health- and to be able to share this all with you. Thanks for listening!

Love to the mamas and the recent mamas again!

mishaj YAY! I'm so happy for you! SO HAPPY! Also the happiness! YAY!
I know the agony of wondering if there will be a heartbeat. (Hudson was a twin.) I'm glad that you have a happy ending! YAY BABY!
post #155 of 166
WOW! It's almost like being in a DDC!! Congrats Dea!! Congrats Sarah Lynne! Oh how exciting!

Also woohoo Mishaj! Congrats on your little one coming along! What excitement.

Wow so much fun going on here! I love it.


A little funny: somehow each winter a bird gets into the house. DD and I came home from grocery shopping to see the big kids and DH buzzing around the dining room table trying to shoo the bird away. Of course the bird is under the table. As DD put it "birdie eat popcorn" because, um, we're so very diligent about vaccuuming or something. DH had to lure the bird away using popcorn off the floor, until it finally flew out the window. And we vaccuumed the floor. Lest the bird bring his little friends back. DH is sure he's telling his birdie friends that the floors are paved with food!

I love this. We're only diligent about vacuuming because of Bear's allergies. I mean if your kid starts to wheeze when crumbs are stirred from the carpeting upon which he's playing, you kind of become hyperaware of their presence and work extra hard to eliminate them. Thankfully the kids enjoy vacuuming, so while Mike and I do some Bean and Boobah actually do a fair amount of it.

Mike very thoughtfully shared his cold with me. Isn't that sweet? While I was sick with the stomach thing, I actually *looked* as awful as I felt, so the kids didn't really want to climb on me or hug and kiss me. The cold, on the other hand, is very minor. I'm still quite functional, I just have to keep tissues nearby. This means that the kids *do* want to climb on me for hugs, kisses, and the daily loveloves. My hands are incredibly dry from washing them so much, but I'd be shocked if all four of them didn't have this by the weekend. I just can't get the point through to any of them that they do not want to be rubbing their noses against mine right now. I suppose that I should be grateful to have such problems, huh?
