i know c-sections aren't eveyones favorite but i loved that dr. s did mine! he kept me calm and was cracking jokes and singing in the O.R. your in good hands! it kept me so relaxed and actually asked G if he wanted to stand up and watch his son be born. great bedside manner! so happy your so close!!!
Hello. I've waited here for you. Everlong<3<br>
Yes I really like Dr. S so thanks again for the recommendation!
Im not too scared of a c-section being that my sister has had 3 of them. But I dont really want the birth to go down that way if I have a choice- it just feels really unnatural and it would only give my hubs a week with the baby after I was released from the hospital which really sucks. I will do what I have to in order to have a healthy baby but I am still hoping for a vaginal birth
Huh? He won't be at home ever again? He won't be with the baby in the hospital?
Karen are you looking to bring your snarkiness back to the board again?
Nic- I saw your maternity pics you posted on FB very cute! It kind of makes me sad we didnt do professional pictures during my pregnancy. I am glad you are feeling well.
Tessajd- how come you dont have a ticker? I totally forgot you were pregnant! How are you feeling minus the breech aspect?
Thanks Jezz!
Navy- step off! And while your at it why dont you get back to making your blog post where you can send all of the newbies/regulars with questions since it bothers you so much to read the same stuff over an over.
Stepping off!!! LMFAO.
Sorry I just don't think a day or 2 extra in the hospital is that bad and usually your DH is with you. They are still with the baby and at that "stage" the baby is being held or sleeping, again not seeing the big deal here.
Hello. I've waited here for you. Everlong<3<br>
This is becoming a real dumb debate.
There is emergency family leave, FLMA for fathers, etc if more time is needed, he has NO vacation more than 1 week with a such a high rank and what not for the NYPD?
I am ALONE a lot, and yes it can be hard at times but it is life. I am sorry I don't have much sympathy. I came home with Charlotte and next night DH was back at work and I had a csection and a 15 month old at home.
Hello. I've waited here for you. Everlong<3<br>
When you post on a message board you are open to being judged. You judge me, I judge you. Right?
Kate -- I've forgotten how to do tickers.
I'm due on November 23rd. I feel pretty good, although I've had to sleep on the couch in a sitting up position for the past two weeks... I can't complain, though.
I am quite thoughtful and insightful most of the time. I just have a low tolerance for some things. Sorry if you don't like that.
As for better things? my kids have been sleeping since 8, DH is working and I am doing homework in between this entertainment tonight, while watching Sons of Anarchy since multitasking is my middle name. Thanks for asking.
Nik- its totally fine. I was excited to see myself getting paged especially when it was something so thoughtful. I am used to Navys bullshiit and it sucks that some people are such attention whorres. Whatever please feel free to page me in the future if youd like!
Navy- its none of your business what my husbands rank is or how much time he gets off but thanks for being so concerned with my family.
However, as usual your debbie downer attitude is disgusting and toxic. Whether we judge each other or not on here, if you were raised with any manners you should have learned if you have nothing nice to say in response to someones post you shouldnt reply.
Kate, Nik & Tess - I can't beleive you're all so close! Congrats and good luck with your deliveries.
Kate, a certain Amanda B. that we went to HS with is also pregnant! I don't want to say her full name, but I'm sure you can guess the girl. She's due in April and doing great.
I don't usually comment on the dramz, but it's kind of sick how this turned into a comparison of who is home alone more or who has a harder life because of their husband's job. We have a lot of PD/FD wives on here and we should be supportive of each other, not cutting each other down for wishing our husband's were home more. Sheesh.
