    Annabelle Elizabeth is here!!!!!!! She was born Monday morning (June 5) at 9:51 AM via emergency C-section. (Her heartrate was dropping dramatically during contractions, most likely due to cord compression. I tried laying in every different position under the sun to remedy that, and unfortunately nothing would help.) Luckily my doctor, who wasn't even on call that morning, just happened to be walking through the hospital on her way to her office hours and saw my name on the board and was able to take me through the whole thing and deliver the baby!

    And for the record, after going through a c-section, I would not have chosen this voluntarily! ;) I'm incredibly sore!

    Here is one pic, from the hospital. http://www.infantxpress.com/depot/20093/announcement/8d6ec3f273935a8399097f6f80f96bae My husband wants to photoshop a giant cookie in her hands, because of the way they are positioned...lol. :D I've got much better ones that we have taken that we'll put on photobucket sometime later. :)

    Congratulations! :) She's truly adorable! She looks like she has something to tell and she's going to brust before she gets it out! :D

    Hmmmm...

    I never had any cravings.
    But I did know a girl who liked to have a bowl
    of ice cream and some doritos at the same time.

    Im soooo excited!
    I squeeled when i read that post.:D:D:D:D:D
    Tell us everything when you get the chance.

    How are you? Hows baby?
    Hows feeding? How are those Meconium poops?(or did you not have to deal with those cause the nurses were changing her)

    Hows the incision? And sleeping....
    I could go on for ever.

    Congrats!!!
    Gen

    Thanks for all of the well-wishes, everyone!! EddiesGurl, congrats on finding out about/seeing your little girl!!! I'm certainly enjoying mine!!! :D Those pics were really cool!

    We're doing really well, thanks! She was a little jaundiced so we had to bring a bili blanket home with her for one day but now her levels are getting back to normal and we can take her off of it. Feeding was not going so well in the hospital, despite working with basically EVERY lactation consultant available, and then because of the jaundice I decided to start pumping and feeding for a few days. (Basically, the phototherapy helps to get rid of the jaundice but the most important thing is pushing the fluids like crazy to get it through her system, and she just wasn't getting that from nursing.) However, she's still eager for the breast every time we try it and I think it'll still work for us. (If anything, she's calmer now when I put her to my breast because she's not starving!) If breastfeeding ultimately doesn't work, I'll get a hospital-grade pump and just feed pumped milk, because I'm determined to feed her breast milk for at least 6 months. It'll be a hassle, but she's totally worth it... :)

    Meconium poops are so gross! But again, she's worth it. ;) It's amazing how tollerable the most disgusting/uncomfortable things are in the name of taking care of your baby!

    My incision is not too bad. The muscles around it are pretty sore but it's honestly not as painful as I expected it would be. However, it is still VERY painful and I'm definitely not moving around as much as I could be if I had had a vaginal delivery. And sleeping is going pretty well! She's really sleepy right now and she really only cries when it's time to be fed. Most of the time, we get her fed before she can ask for it because we're keeping her on a schedule of feeding every 2 hours.

    Overall, things are great and I'm feeling better and more like myself every day! Here are some more pics....I'm bursting at the seams to show her off!

    Congrats Brain of JLo!!!! I love the name Annabelle! :)

    EddiesGurl, how cute is your little bubba?!?!?!? I can't believe how much you can see on ultrasounds now. Gorgeous! :)

    I get clucky everytime I read this thread!!!! :D Still got another 12 to 18 months to go until Leigh and I want to start trying. Got to get married and buy a house first! Been together for 8 years and been too slack to do the marriage thing! Too much to organise!! That's the plan, anyway...if it was up to LEigh, I would have been pregnant a year ago!!! :eek: ;) I'm glad I'm with someone who REALLLLY wants to be a dad! I can't wait to show him those ultrasound photos!

    PBW is still sick on a daily (hourly ;)) basis, but not as bad as a few weeks ago.

    We're heading to Cincy next weekend, so obviously I'm concerned for her well-being. We'll sit during a few of the slower ones, so she doesn't get too tired.

    Any advice from experienced mothers-to-be about attending concerts?

    thats too bad about her being sick! :( have you told her doc? sometimes they can give you something to help w/ being sick... i dont know much about that tho b/c i was lucky... i haven't been sick once!

    anyway ~ i'll be at that Cincy show! 35 weeks & all. I'm a little nervous just b/c of how far along i am, how hot it is right now in that area & how hot & loud it is going to be in US Bank Arena.... and also about having to waddle back to the bathroom 3 times an hour...THAT is gonna SUCK. But.. its all worth it, and i'm going to go & stick it out & try to jam out as much as i can. If i start feeling faint or dizzy (b/c that does happen to me if i'm on my feet to much), then we'll just leave early.... as much as i dont want to...i've got to do whats best for me & my baby.

    otherwise ~ i'm doing good... everyday is pretty much the same.. and going slower & slower. Ugh! I'm just ready to meet this little girl & be done w/ being pregnant!!!

    Annabelle is thriving! The jaundice is all gone and she's a beautiful pinky baby color now! :D She's awake more and more every day. She's starting to interact more with her surroundings and it's so exciting to see how she changes every day! Last night she figured out how to grab my hair...which is cute right now since she's a little weakling...but I can imagine the novelty of that will wear off. ;)

    I, on the other hand, am not doing as well! My incision has one little spot that's sort of infected...and I have to get it packed DAILY until it's better! GROSS! This really blows... I have to take an antibiotic, too.

    Ziggy Star, if you're still reading this thread, please reconsider giving birth vaginally! The recovery from this is not worth the ease of letting someone else do the work to get the baby out!

    I can totally relate to how you are feeling. I was going completely insane a few weeks ago! The only thing that kept me sane was savoring the last few weeks that the baby was all "mine." There's a part of me that misses feeling her little kicks and hiccups, so savor those moments just like you will savor all of the moments you'll have once she's here! :)

    I know.
    I miss feeling the little sqirms and kicks.
    Now when Adria has the hiccups I remember when she had them inside and how funny they were.
    People say arent you gonna try to get rid of them?
    I say "why she had em for 9 mos inside and I couldnt do a damn thing!" :D

    TAke care of that incision and rest as much as possible JLo.
    Kick it in the ass and be done with it. Then everything will be perfect.

    *Hugs* to all the moms and moms to be.
    *Kisses* to all the babies.
