Expectant parent club! Where the pregnant people hang out.

Thanks everyone.

We had a good first night home. I'm a co-sleeping, breast-feeding mama, so it makes it a lot easier at night. My husband commented this morning that he didn't hear her wake up and cry even once last night. I told him because she didn't.

I slept on my side with her cradled against me so when she woke up and was hungry, she just had to root until she found her meal.

Course, I did have to wake up enough to help her latch on, and I did have to get up and change her diaper a couple times, but even at that - I got more sleep last night than in the two nights at the hospital.

Baby Girl had her breakfast just a little bit ago and now she's sleeping in her bassinet.

I'm working on her birth story, and I also have a story about my second day in the hospital and student nurses - it was awful!

So glad she's doing so well! And how lucky are you that your nights are going peacefully!

She's beautiful!

What a wonderful update! SO glad you are all home and doing well!! We have alot in common it sounds like- I have co-slept and breast fed all 5 of my babies. I am not sure if I will be co-sleeping full time with this one though, but only due to exhaustion. I know I will be more tired than ever and I dont want to take any risks (yes, I acknowlege there are risks with co-sleeping), so I am planning on trying to only do so when I feel like I can be alert enough to feel baby squirming for food!

Will be looking forward to your birth story.

Student nurses? Oh no! That can be scary!! I remember telling anyone and everyone who walked into my hospital room- "I DO NOT want ANYONE who is not fully accredited working on me or my baby- NO STUDENTS!!" I said it over and over. I know they have to learn and need real life experience, just not on me or MY baby! Guess Im a bit paranoid, Im positive they wouldnt let someone in the room who had no training or education, but still.....

student nurses or not.... a RN tried to send me home when I was pregnant with the last baby because my 5 min. contractions we not doing anything to my cervix ( I was 4 CM) and Blake was 6 weeks & 1 day early. I had been in the hospital the night before with a temperature, dehydration and vomiting..... I had Blake an hour later. I told them I wasn't leaving.

I am so jealous.... a baby girl! Hope you come to Columbus so I can see her.

Adorable baby girl QA! I'm hoping for a girl next time around

although saying that out loud probably jinxes me.

Wyatt is almost 14 months already and I've been stalking this thread ever since I was preggo with him. Now we're trying again! Well, considering that we've only "tried" once this whole month b/c of our hectic schedules (and I was out of state around the time of ovulation) I guess we're not really trying that hard yet.

However, I'm off BC and ready whenever. It would be great if I got preggers again in Nov. so the babes are exactly 2 yrs apart, but any time in the next few months would be ok. I just don't want to be having the next one during hunting season or DH won't be there for the birth.

Good luck to everyone who's getting close!
