good luck. it'll be ok, caro

@ Caro, I hope he will turn for you. It is definitely not too late.

I went for induction Friday 5:30 am. Had little progress all day but epidural made it easy. Epi became much less effective when they turned me on my side to lower my BP. They redosed. Late Friday night I was suddenly at 10 cm, up from 4 or 5 two hours earlier, but he would not descend. Pushed for some time but doctor saw no progress and felt he was just too big and might get stuck and make c-section more difficult, so we switched tactics, and Rayan Driss was born by c-section at 12:19 am Saturday weighing 9 pounds 3.3 ounces. We are so in love with him. I feel good, can't sleep but getting around with little pain. We can stay until tomorrow but may go home today.

Our granddaughter is nine months old already, we baby sat her yesterday. We got her this last month with the matching doll.

Now she is reaching for the handle, pulling herself up and running all over the place, but she can't walk yet. She found that pushbutton on the teddy bears' tummy, and knows how to push it to get a short tune. We had a very joyful day yesterday. Wife took about 50 photos, one of these days, will learn how to post them.

((((((((((((((((((((((((Carol Anne & Rayan)))))))))))))))))))))))))) Congrats! I'm so glad you're doing well. Stay in the hospital one more day and let them take care of you. Why go home sooner?!? - you'll have your fun in no time. He really was a big baby...but good for you that you got to know what labor feels like and hey - c-section is not so bad.

Lots of love to you three!

On the other hand - Enzo had his 4 month check up today. He now weighs 15lbs 7.5 oz and is a whopping 26 inches long. OMG!!! He has grown 5.5 inches since he was born - and three of those were in the last month. The doc was amazed. He also got his vaccines today - dear Lord, I hate that. I think I cried more than he did. My little angel.

Congrats Caybee!!! Can't wait to see pics of Rayan

Yay Enzo! Getting so big!!!

Declan had his 15 month checkup today. I forget the actual numbers, but I remember he was in the 32 % for weight and 98 % for height and head was 80 %. That was the good part of the visit. The bad part was learning that he has mild asthma and now has an inhaler to be used as needed. Honestly, though, I kind of suspected this. Since early on (I can't remember if birth or since his surgery), hubby and I noticed a raspy sort of breathing at times, but whenever we took him to the doctor, his lungs were clear and they didn't hear it. Then, a doctor said he had trachea malacia. However, his regular pediatrician disagreed. When we saw the ENT last month, he said he did not have trachea malacia. Today, Declan finally did the raspy breathing in the doctor's office. He also has another ear infection

We were supposed to wait and see the ENT in October, but I am calling tomorrow to see if this changes things and he needs to be seen sooner. I'm sure having mild asthma is no big deal, but I am feeling really stressed now. I know it is because anything medically wrong hits me harder because of all the other stuff he has been through and I am still a bit of a paranoid mommy. Please please please someone give me reassuring words so I cam bring myself back to reality and not stress!!! Thanks

I wonder if Declan's asthma is being exacerbated by the ear infections. I was diagnosed with allergic asthma about 7 years ago. I really only get a mild attack if I get some sort of respiratory infection.

We went today to visit with the sitter and get her caught up on the duo. My summer vacation is officially over on Wednesday.

@ caybee; Congratz and get well soon!

@ Caro: Jona was PS and turned in labor at some point. He however forgot his arm/fist in front of his face... I pushed for 2:36 hours cause of this, but it's doable. My midwife has delivered many sunny side up babies!
