Wow, my deliveries have always been pretty good. Labour, on the other hand, is horrid for me. Labours last forever and inductions take days to take. Yuck.
Yeah, the loss board is pretty busy right now. Very sad but I am happy that the people are going there to get the support they need. It is one of the more active PL boards I have found in my research.
In the end, yes, she was born vaginally and completely naturally. The only drug I had was the local for the episiotomy. The doc couldn't fix my neck. What I did was push incorrectly and ended up swelling my neck bad. I was so drained that I didn't see Tiana until 9 in the morning, she was delivered at 2:37 A.M. I'm proud that I pulled off a natural child birth, but it wasn't a wonderful experience in my eyes.
I had no interest in natural childbirth with my first! (or my second) Idk if that's why I didn't have any issues pushing, and then by 3 and 4 (when I did it natural) I knew what I was doing, oh wait, never got to push with number 4...stupid nurses...

Yes it seems someone is joining everyday. Its very draining sometimes. We had a couple later losses this week which those are especially hard on me this time of year with my losses. This year my first loss has hit me especially hard. I am glad to be there for the ladies and help them but sometimes I check the board and am so wiped emotionally I just close JM and go watch a movie or go to bed. Sorry . I love hosting the board though .
Had a fun weekend this weekend. Did a Star Wars marathon Saturday and then Sunday took 2 naps and played Rockband with the kids. All in all a good weekend. I have a dr appointment Thursday which is good. I hope to talk to the nurse about heartbeat checks for the next couple weeks to get me over the hump . Once we hit 14 weeks I will relax a bit..... I hope haha.

Yeah I was only 19 and figured if women had been going natural since cavemen days, I can do it too. Boy do I regret that decision. By the time I asked for drugs it was too late and I had to deal with it. With lil guy I knew better but didn't get there on time for the epi so I convinced the doc to give me half a dose of demoral instead.

Jess, I agree about it being emotionally draining. Often I go there or RPL first and just have to get off JM too.
On a different note, I think
I caught the JM cold. I feel like crap. Add that to the fact that I only got 3 or 4 hours sleep Friday and Saturday nite, I feel horrible. Think I am also run down from all my volunteer stuff. It keeps me busy, which is good but sometimes it is too much.
November is my difficult month. Aidan would have been 8 years old in Nov on the 26th. It doesn't seem like it has been that long. It's crazy how fresh all the emotions etc stay, and how often I think about him and wonder how he would fit in with our family. I wonder how my Gracie would do with a big brother. I sometimes feel like life would be easier for her with a little protector in her life She has the perfect personality to be "the oldest" though so I think it works for us! God knows best. . . .I have to keep reminding myself, lol.

Bridgette I am so sorry. I know how hard those dates are.
CrystalAnne I didn't know you had a son before. I am sorry he isn't with your family.
Today was a busy day and tomorrow I don't have to go to the office tomorrow. I get to go to one of our ships in a different city so I get to do something fun tomorrow. That is nice because it keeps me busy until my next appointment on Thursday. I can't believe daylight savings time is starting on Sunday.

Yeah I think it would be super hard to do what you do and have a board that you are on each day that has that focus, by hard I mean emotionally. I know when we had our 5 month old death in the June PR in Nov I was astonished how bad it got to me and I'm barely a part of the group.

I think it is more like the world cold, it is like everyone is sick!

Well, certainly a good attitude to keep about it. Hard though, really hard.
losses are definetly difficult and sad . When my niece was born in June 09 2 days before my angelversary of a little girl I lost in June 02 .
Boy did I ever have a heck of a time and I really couldn't share my feeling with my families because they just act like you should forget about it and be happy with what you got or it's been that long how could that be able to still bug you .
on the other hand they are going to start to do work around our apartment with putting siding up on the apartments which is going to drive me bonkers because it will proably start at 7 am then end at 5 pm .
I'm just glad it's going to be warming up a bit more that I will be able to do some walking this week .
I had a long work day yesterday so chillin at home today. I mostly just want to go back to bed. But I want to be able to sleep tonight. Its a vicious cycle. I have a dr appointment tomorrow hoping for all good things . Not much else going on here.
Thought it was going to be a snow day today. Busses are cancelled in the neighboring town but running here. I don't think Fintan was too happy to go to school.
My cold is clearing up. I still find the tickle in my throat at bed time bad.
I wonder if I have ever posted anything less than 5 words in length.
Morning folks. I've been busy with work and school as usual. We're looking at a 36 hour rain period. Fun fun fun. But I'll gladly take the rain over the snow.

Man I can't imagine that anybody would act like you should just get over it or something because I don't think that'd be something I'd ever let go of. Maybe let go of some of the pain as time went on, but not the whole ordeal, that'd just be wrong.

Man I could nap (especially pregnant) for a long time and still sleep at night!

I am feeling pretty good right now. Hit 12 weeks yesterday. Few more and we are out of the woods so to speak. We had a heart beat and a busy baby on Friday at our appointment. Last night Jeremy was so sweet. He turned to his sister and asked "sister (yes that is what he calls her) do you love me?" And Linda said "yes" and Jeremy said "I love you too, your in my heart" It was so sweet. Then he said that mommy is in my heart too . He is such a sweet boy. Then they both got on a conversation about who was in their heart haha.
Jess that is so sweet and that's great your 12 wks.
Crystal hope you get your natural delivery
Today I went and had a manicure oh and it turned out great .
I am so happy with the weather today it's so nice out that I'm not wearing any coats.
Also, imy ndoor garden it seems like we have 4 tomato sprouts so I'm hoping they will continue to grow well this spring & summer as in hopefully we will get some good tomatoes for this season.

By the time I asked for drugs it was too late and I had to deal with it. With lil guy I knew better but didn't get there on time for the epi so I convinced the doc to give me half a dose of demoral instead.
