Thread: KisterBaby's lodge!

Congrats on your lodge! You sound like such a great mom...Your SD is so lucky to have you.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

Congrats on your lodge! You sound like a fantastic Mom, and I can't wait to follow your journey as you birth Mikey! That is awesome to hear that the doctor didn't push a c-section or induction on you. Hoping he decides to get moving!

I had my weekly appt this morning. There's a little bit of progress! My cervix is soft and I'm a fingertip dialated. My dr is still concerned about his size, but said that so far it looks like my body is getting ready for him to come, big boy or not We also reviewed my birth plan and she's 100% on board with everything I've written into it (no meds, birthing ball, clear fluids/light snacks during labor, no time restrictions, etc) I'm so excited to meet our little boy, i can't wait to see who he looks like, what he sounds like.

Welcome! Wow, so glad to hear the you aren't being pushed to induce! And yay! for some dilation. Is your dd excited to be a big sister?

Alycia is soo excited! I think she understands what's happening, I mean, as much as a 2.5 yr old CAN understand. She sees his bed and his things and will go around the house telling everyone "That's Mikey's bed. That's mikey's clothes" I'll tell her "Mikey is going to be here soon. He's going to come live with us forever, is that ok??" and she always answers "that's soooooo ok mommy!!" and she lifts my shirt to talk to him (she thinks he's in my belly button, not my whole belly hehe its so cute) and says "mikey come out! i wanna play! don't you like me, mikey??" she's so sweet n adorable i could just eat her up

man that's cute! I think we need to see a pic of your little Alycia. She sounds adorable!
That is cool about your doctor being willing to wait for your big boy to come on his own. Hopefully he'll stay that way until the end.

how can i resist a chance to share a pic of my angel?


and a pic of me, dh, alycia, and reese

great pics, thanks for sharing. Great looking family!

Awesome picture! Great looking kids.

Welcome to your lodge - sorry I'm late getting started!

You sound like a wonderful mom already. I lived with my Dad and Stepmom from the time I was 12, so I have a soft spot in my heart for step moms - they have a hard job!

You sound great. I wouldn't be too concerned about her size. Your body made her. Your body can deliver her. When I hear women talking about having big babies, it always remind me of a Bible verse that I love (I'm sorry, I don't know your religion, I hope this doesn't offend you!) - " Would I bring you to the moment of delivery and not deliver? Would I bring you this far and close up thy womb??"

Keep us posted - and rest rest rest!
