PAMPERS JULY 2010

Hi everyone

Just a quick update...
I was admitted into CT medi clinic yesterday at 4h30pm and was induced this morning at 5h30 so should be going into labour soon. Only had minor contractions so far.

To all the mums, hope you are all enjoying your beautiful babies and goodluck to all the moms to be!

Hi everyone!!

Shew what a hectic ride the last few days have been I am finally at home settling in now.

Well we went into the hospital at 5am and had the c section at about 08h00. LB was born at 08h20 on 21st July 2010.

The first few hrs, from a pain perspective was the worst, but the way the morphine was making me feel was even worse. So I stopped taking it and took normal pain killers instead, and only then started feeling a little but more normal.

From Thurs onwards though the pain has been bearable, so I am very happy.

Was discharged today and my milk is coming in fast and furiosly, and LB is latching nicely. I've had to express already because my boobs are so full!!

Other than that, LB is doing very well. He weighed 3.2 at birth and weighed 3 kg's when we left today. He is so tiny!!! I cannot remember how to deal with such a tiny baby LOL and it is quite nerve wrecking, to say the least....!! Changing his nappy takes a lot of guts )

I was very emotional coming home this afternoon as I had not seen my LG for a day and she ran to me when I got home. I cant pick her up very well, and had to feed when I got home, so was feeling really guilty at first. Still not sure how I am going to do this, to tell the honest truth. Hubby and I realised we have 2 kids now, and we barely coping, with all the help we currently have... not sure what we going to do when everyone leaves.

On the flip side tho, I am also feeling very claustrophobic in my own house and need to find a routine for myself and the kids, but cannot do that with everyone here. So its like a catch 22 situation and I am not yet sure how to handle it. sigh....

any advice is welcome right now

other than that, I love my LB and LG SOOOO much and they are the apples of my eye right now.

Hope everyone else is doing fine.

Morning Mommies and Moms-to-be.

Morning ladies (well it's 1:30am).

Just fed my LG & can't fall asleep. So here's a summary of my birthstory

was going to be induced on Tuesday remember since LG was past her EDD. Monday afternoon took a walk with MIL & I felt my hip-joints abit sore ( probably LG's head dropping down de canal). Relaxed the rest of afternoon, had supper & chilled watching tv. Around 18:00 I thought I accidentaly peed in my panties as I was pressed! Was having minor cramps thruout de weekend,so didn't pay any attention.
21:30 we r al going to bed, as I reach bathroom door a gush (sp) of water just flows down. Even wet de track-pants I had on, de look on DH wen I told him "it's time" LOL. Took a quick shower as I stil didn't hv 'contractions' & was worried I haven't shaven 'down there'/ my toe nails r not looking good/ other silly things . . .
Minor contractions started on de way to hospital. Midwife checked & I was 2cm! Was in bed so they monitor lg, she wasn't too active so had fizzy drink to stimulate her. Then suddenly around midnight my amniotic fluid was coming out heavily, brownish in colour then bcame greenish
LG had made her first poo in de womb & risk of her getting al that stuff in her nose/lungs,etc so had to go for emergency c-sect.
She was born 1:13am Tuesday morning weighing 3.1kg. Her APGAR score 9, then 10 after 5min. So she didn't even need to go into incubator/ICU for observation.
Al is going great & breastfeeding is a breeze so far! Going home today (Friday).

Wil load pictures soon, she looks so much like her dad [file/]

Congrats Patty! Hope you and your LO are well.

Goodluck with today Ashbabe and Dee!!!
