Two graduates this week
Congrats to the new Mama's!

had to move my first appt to next Thursday and DS woke up sick last Thursday. Oh well. lol. I'm 15w today. For some reason I have some serious gas today, but the LO is also very active. It's funny.... a big gas bubble will rumble and then the baby will kick. LOL.

Gotta come back and read this when I get my own computer back - mine's broken and "in the shop" so I'm only able to hop on at my in-laws, and I hate being on for too long when I should be visiting!

I just worked 3 days in a row, had a mandatory meeting this morning and have to work another 12 tomorrow. Ugh. The little miss is still doing well on the NSTs. Though the contractions have been picking up, they still don't seem concerned so I guess I won't be either. Hope all are doing well! I've been reading along.

Only 3 weeks! Crazy!
I imagine they're not that worried about contractions because with an early induction coming anyways, it wouldn't be the worst thing if labor started on its own.

I really like the Ergo for back carrying - though that's only for older babies. For itties, I really really love my ring sling. And I had a wrap with Levi that I liked, though I never really got used to wrapping while holding baby. I did get a stretchy wrap from FSOT, arrived last week, that I'm hoping I'll like even more for the first few months.

I think I wouldn't be doing them with only a previous 35 weeker. I mean, I know that's premature... but it's not really seriously preemie, kwim?
Possibly if I felt fine I would do the shots, but not with horrid side effects. And it's likely I wouldn't even start them at all with only that history.

She weighed 5 pounds even and is 18 inches long. She has nursed twice already and is doing wonderful! Attachment 131979

CONGRATS Susan!!!!!! She's so beautiful!!!!!! all that hair!!!

AFM: Mentioned above - I haven't been away by choice, my computer's jack and cord are shot and we're waiting on the shop to replace it. Should get it back sometime next week Until I do, I have to jump on for a few minutes at my in-laws' house - but I don't like spending too much time tucked off in the computer room when I should be visiting!

In Hiccup news, absolutely nothing new, lol. I think he may be breech... but I'm not totally sure. Could be just my paranoia too, lol. But lots of movements, regular from day to day, definitely making the "kick counts". Just lovin' this last pregnancy!

I will have the Ergo, a "seven sling" brand sling, a home-made Moby, and I'm looking for a ring sling used for cheap.

I need to go check FSOT since I'm feeling secure-ish (enough to purchase a few things)
