Hope everyone is ok!

Thank you all for your prayers - I am home and doing well. The doctor says it can happen again which has me very nervous as it was the scariest event in my life, but hoping that it will not. All your thoughts and prayers mean alot to us and I hope that you are all enjoying Mommyhood or the last days of your pregnancy - it may be hard to believe, but you will miss them being in there once they are out!

[Tabitha]

celeste - so glad to hear from you. hope you don't have any more scares.

[Tabitha]

holly - jaden is a cutie! hope that your appt went well today.

[Dellemma]

I'm so glad you're ok Celeste!

Celeste - I'm glad you are ok. That must have been scary.

before I forget, my post from this wknd got lost in the crash. I have the contact list done but I can't send attachments through PM. If I don't have it already, send me your email so I can email it out.


Just have a quick sec but I'm slowly typing up the whole story from Sunday to post. Claudia - Thank you so much for posting my messages the last couple days. If you have myspace, here are pics my dad put up - MySpace.com - Ron Jaden A couple of the same ones are up on facebook for those I have found on there.

Except for the pain from back labor, Sunday went really well and we are so in love with Jaden. As Claudia said, we do have a jaundice issue going on that has kept us busy. Before we left the hospital he had lost 6% of his birth weight and the bilirubin was up to 9 so we went back in today to be seen. He had lost some more weight and levels are up to 16.

They said 17-18 was high and at 20 he has to go back in the hospital so we are feeding every 1 1/2 - 2 hours and then giving formula to supplement. In addition, they had a bili-light blanket delivered that we have to wrap him in as much as possible. It makes him look light a glow worm, LOL!


His color looks better to me and he seems more full on the new feeding schedule, but he isn't having enough urine diapers yet so I'm still concerned. We go back tomorrow afternoon for more blood work and then go from there.

Baby Jack and Jayden!! You are both handsome little men!!! Congratulations ladies, you both did excellent!!

Celeste- What a blessing you are okay!! You need to take it as easy as you can lady!!

How are all the new moms doing? I am finally beginning to feel like Christie again! And Celeste is right, as much as I disliked the "pregnancy" feeling, I miss having her in my belly. It is so weird!!

We are going to a Halloween party Saturday for a couple of hours, I will make sure I look decent and try to get some good pics of me and Bailee together! I have very few with her, mostly of my family and her daddy holding her. Now that I am alone with her, noone is here to take pictures!!

How are you ladies waiting to deliver doing? It won't be long now!!

[CatIz1]

Celeste - what a scare you had. I'm glad your home and hope that it doesn't happen again.

Holly - I am praying that Jaden's jaundice is getting better and that he doesn't have to go back into the hospital.

Here is probably my last belly shot before Amara comes, only 6 days to go. The second one is us testing out the car seat.

Great picture Melissa! You will have Amara in your arms before you know it!

Holly, I loved the pictures on your myspace page! Too cute! Hope Jaden's Billi levels come down soon!

Christie glad you're feeling more like yourself! I'm still waiting on that LOL! Truthfully though, I am still so stiff from being on rest for over a month! Maybe if I start exercising I will be able to work it out! It's just my knees! We have the Wii here and when I was pregnant my hubby bought Wii Fit -- maybe now is a good time to give it a go!

Mellissa, you look lovely.

Hmmm. Do I miss my baby belly? maybe a little. I really enjoy being a ble to move again, and get up from sitting/standing without using my arms. Yeah, I miss it in some ways. I think I was pretty anxious during my pregnancy. I don't miss that. I do miss the attention , and the excitement and even the suspense. I miss the kicks and the punches. I don't miss the moodiness and getting up to pee every 5 minutes. I miss prenatal yoga. One thing don't miss is how lonely I felt when I was pregnant. This group heed me so much, but in my daily life I felt like no one understood how I was feeling. I found that really difficult.

I forgot to mention that we had another peds appointment on tuesday....Natasha has gained 9 oz this week! she is 7 pounds 6 oz now. What a little porker! She also has a little staph infection on her finger which was drained and we have been putting some topical antibiotics on. This caused me a lot of stress when we discovered it on monday, but it is getting better now. N kept us up until 3:30 am last night fussing and crying. urghhh. Good thing she is so cute . We are soooo tired today.

[Tabitha]

melissa - you look so cute! I missed my belly for a while, I think mostly because of the way everything happened so quickly.

I signed up for a stroller fitness class yesterday that starts on the 28th. I really want to start getting some exercise, but I am a little unsure if this class is a good idea. first of all, it is at the rec center, and it just seems like a gym would be full of all kinds of germs. also I have no idea if george will be agreeable to stay in his car seat on the stroller for 45 minutes. oh well, I already paid $20, so we shall see.

claudia - I hope natasha's finger heals quickly.

[norcal]

Hi ladies! Just got the levels in and the bilirubin is going down!!!!! YAY! I can't wait to post the glow worm picture though.


Melissa - very cute! Hang in there.

Claudia - I can only imagine how stressed you were. Anything wrong with our little ones, even minor can make us crazy, esp right now.


Has Amy been on lately or is she having the baby?
