Miss Bryleigh made her appearance on Weds June 27, 2007 at 10:20 pm. Born via c-section, she is a very healthy 8lbs 8oz and 20 3/4" long. The surgery went well for the most part...except the anesthesia began to wear off at the tail end of the procedure. I never actually felt any thing other than pressure, but I could feel the numbness wearing off. But the "pressure" quickly gave way to lots of PAIN! Unfortunately, since the spinal block was supposed to last 6+ hours, I couldn't have anything other than 1/2 a dose of demerol for pain--even though mine was wearing off after only an hour and a half. The demerol did NOTHING! By the time my hour in recovery was up, I could already move my legs much more than I should have been able to--and that came from one of the nurses. So, I guess, I have developed a tolerance to the pain meds/anesthesia.

Congrats!!!!

The pain in my feet has gotten so much worse...I can hardly stand to even be on them for more than 30-40 minutes at a time. :(

The fact that for the past, oh, three weeks or so I have been traveling back and forth between TN and LA is not helping me much either. Hopefully I am back in LA to stay until birth.

My little man turned 8 months today and he can crawl!!!!!!!!!!

Well ok, so it's more of a Commando wriggle at the moment, but he is mobile in a forwards direction and there is now no inch of our living room he can't get to (well within a height of about a foot and a half off the floor). Thank goodness we invested in a playpen when we did, as at least he now has somewhere safe to be while I'm fixing his lunch or answering the door etc.

8 months, eh? And I bet it only feels like last week that you brought him home! :)

Aah, I remember it well - and my "little one" turns 14 this Hallowe'en.

I've lost track: When are all the Pixie babies due?

not til early november but both my other kids were 38 weekers so maybe late october, maybe even on my own birthday - which would be pretty cool. either way, they won't schedule the c-sec this far in advance so i don't know an exact date yet.

i already look like i swallowed a very large beach ball, strangers i meet think i'm due next week (even the delivery nurse i met at the pool yesterday), all sexual positions except oral and manual are becoming extremely uncomfortable, i can't eat a decent meal 'cause any amount of food in my belly makes me feel fuller than thanksgiving seconds. they say you show quicker with your third but this is ridiculous. i actually demanded a recount.

:p

Mine made her appearance June 27th...but Lou already knows that, we've talked about her already...LOL! :loveshowe

Gortta keep that next generation coming.

Grandbaby due mid Sept

Oh yay for you, themi01! My mum's partner is expecting twin grandbabies mid september too! I'm guessing they're having one of each.

Supposed to be late November, but I dont think he is going to wait that long.....

I feel like someone pumped my belly full of air.

That's what I thought of my little one who was also due late November, but 4 days after my due date I managed to convince them I should be induced!

Well, I'm gonna be an uncle again this December.

Lessee...that would make 9 nephews and no nieces. What's the odds of that???

I have been having migraine headaches for about three weeks and it seems like I may be coming down with one right now....my head is not pounding, it's a steady (intense) ache. I cant wait till November.

This little one is due on the 23rd of December...however, I tend to let my kids cook a little longer and since my first was born on the 26th of December, I think that it is fate that this little one to be born on his/her sibling's birthday. Either that or this little one will be born on Mayhem and my first anniversary---the 29th of December....

This little one is very active! I have a feeling that he or she will be an active baby as well!

I am craving weird things all the time and poor Mayhem has a hard time keeping up with what I am craving... Last week it was tomatoes, fresh tomato salad, and green fried tomatoes. Now I am so hungry for turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie, but I haven't got the gumption to make a whole Thanksgiving meal, so we are going out to KFC tomorrow. Oh, and I normally loathe colas--Pepsi, Coca-cola, storebrand--I just can't get enough of it right now---geesh go figure. The three constants, though, have been Cadbury chocolate bars with caramel, cold cold milk, and lots and lots of SEX :D:D:D Mmmmmhummmm
