Got Baby? Avez vous un bebe?

[Autumnchik 6]

I haven't been here in ages (life has been crazy), so I had a lot of reading to catch up on.

Reven, she is beautiful. Congrats on baby Angel!

I am on Day 5 of being in CT alone with Declan (my mom had back surgery on Monday). Hubby is in nursing school and couldn't come. I am absolutely exhausted, as I have been staying in my mom's non-childproof, full of breakable knickknacks house and had to be constantly alert.

Mtlgato, hoping baby comes soon

Thanks, ladies for your kind words!

Ant, I agree on baby wipes. We're using cloth diapers, supplementing with newborn disposables so we won't be needing that much disposables diapers, but I will certainly stock up on baby wipes. Angel goes through at least 10 a day!

Reven-You're welcome...You and your Angel baby deserve it!

I loved reading about your birth story and seeing the photos of angel too..

Lol..I liked the basket photo the best...And that photo with the hairdryer was the funniest...

Great too, that you're using cloth diapers along with the disposables, as that saves on the bills and the environment!

Lol...My son does the same thing with the wipes too..About 10 or so a day..If not more...

We usually buy a case a month...uggh....

As well, you can try using a wet cloth/towel..That works too.....

Btw..Are you nursing still, and if so, how is that going?

All the best to you and Angel...Congrats again!

Ant

As for me...I'm still waiting. I guess I'm only 3 days overdue, but it feels like longer! Today I feel pretty queasy and crampy--so possibly this is early labour. But it's not for sure by any means.

I'll update when I can.

C.

Mtlgato-Hope you will deliver your baby soon too. Don't worry, it won't be too much longer..

You'll see your baby in the next 1-2 weeks or so..

If it gets too long of a wait..Then it's time for an induction...

In the meantime, it's just a waiting game, as mentioned before, babies don't come when they are supposed to..lol..

Good luck..Wishing you all the best for delivery..

And yes, update when you can...Definitely share the good news here on VJ!

Ant

Everyone-Anyone else have any baby-related updates? Good luck for your pregnancies and babies/children too!

Autumn-Welcome back! Nice to see you again here on the Canadian baby thread! How are you and Declan doing?

Sorry to hear about your mom's situation. I hope she gets better and that you are ok with Declan at her house..

Lol..I totally understand what you mean about the other houses not being child-proof..

One can child-proof their own home...But when it comes to other people's houses...That's another story..

Lol..It's the same problem with my son when he goes to Grandma's...Have to be careful of the knickknacks and stuff like that

Glad though, that you are keeping an eye and hopefully Declan won't break anything there..

@ Autumnchik, thanks for your kind words. I hear you on the life is crazy thing. I've had to cut down on the internet, ha.

@ Ant, yes I'm still breastfeeding her. Had a rough start but things are going well now. :-)

Angeline says hello: Hello VJ Canada!

Your little girl is so cute! She has so much hair for such a wee one. Adorable indeed. Congratulations!

Hubby came across this site tonight. It has some cute Can-AM infant onsies, and some maternity t's. The onsies are kinda pricy at $15 a piece, especially for the amount of time that they wear them, but having a couple would be kind nice. link

Reven-I agree, life gets crazy with a little one and yes, we've all had to cut down on the internet too....

Good luck with the breastfeeding! Likewise, I had a bit of a rough start too, but once you get going...It gets easier....

I breastfed my son for 10 months..(6 months directly, 4 months pumping it out...)

And keep sticking with it too, as the benefits of breastfeeding are definitely good for both baby and mother.

Cute pics and video, thanks for sharing those too! Awww.... She's so Angelic, just like her namesake!

*****waves hi back******

Wishiing you all the best with you and your baby! Take care.

Colleens-Thanks for the link to the baby Can-Am infant onesies! Lol..Wish I had found them earlier, as I was looking for them awhile ago. But better late than never, I suppose....Luckily, my son can still fit into onesies and at this point needs new clothes..So maybe we can get some for the holidays....I'll definitely have to check into that website more..See what else they have in store...Thanks again.

As for clothes...The key is to get them at the beginning..So that they can get the most use of of them..

For example, if it says 1-3 months...Get them at the 1 months mark....

Good luck with your pregnancy too.

Ant

Lol...Speaking about clothes...My son has some clothes and other items he has outgrown..

Anyone here interested in baby boy clothes and other items?...Send me a PM......and I'll be happy to share with you Canadian friends..

Hi everyone!

I'm finally ready to update, though this will be brief as I have to head to bed soon.

I had a baby *girl* on Sunday, October 17--7lbs, 4oz, 21.25 inches, very healthy. She's pretty much bald, but in a cute way. I had a c-section in the end, and I wasn't very happy about that (6 nights in the hospital really messed with my mind), but 2 weeks later it no longer seems important.

I did have to reschedule my immigration interview It had been set for October 28, but that was impossible once surgery (and recovery, etc) was in the mix. So it's now rescheduled for January 19, 2011. I could feel bad about this delay, but I feel like I can't afford to do so: I have to focus on the baby.

Congrats on your little girl!!! I am sorry to hear that you had to have a c-section, but we all know haivng a healthy baby (and Mommy) is what is important in the end!

The delay would be frustrating, but it will just be that much better once it happens!!

[antda 13]

Mtlgato-Congratulations on your baby girl and thanks for sharing about it here on VJ!

What a nice suprise that your baby ended up being a girl...

All the best to you and your new baby and to your family and may you enjoy your new bundle of joy!

Lol..I totally understand about the c-section and the delay thing messing up everything (lol..the same happened to me)...Don't worry, once you're out of the hospital, you can forget about that and focus on the new baby and weeks of recovery..The important thing is that you and your baby are healthy in the end....

Btw..Are you breastfeeding or bottlefeeding your baby?

Good luck with your interview....

All the best...

Ant

P.S. I'll update the list later...Thanks for the update..
