Members Khan Posted April 14, 2015 Members Share Posted April 14, 2015 Can we de-SORAS GH's Spencer so we can cast the SON Baby? He's way more charismatic and besides, he could use the money for his college fund? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted April 15, 2015 Members Share Posted April 15, 2015 Wow, I'm really touched by the sense of community in this thread. Thank you for sharing with us Julia. I also had the cord wrapped around my neck but I think I turned out wetty prell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted April 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just a little update. The baby is doing well. He lost about 11 ounces in the hospital, which is pretty normal. They want his weight back up to his birth weight by 2 weeks. At his pediatric appointment yesterday we found out he only has two ounces left to go, so that's a relief! Thanks Q! By the time I had him I was very calm. The anesthesiologist was really amazing. Not only was I feeling no pain, but I was calm and mentally present. I've always had a lot of respect for the people in the medical field and this experience just solidifies that. All My Shadows: My husband changed his mind about the name Benjamin, which I really loved. He has a bee in his bonnet over Benjamin Netanyahu though and there was no changing his mind, so the baby's name is Nathaniel Mark. And even though I'm not religious the meaning "given by God" feels right under the circumstances. SFK: Me too. Everyone's support means more than you can imagine.

Members marceline Posted April 15, 2015 Members Share Posted April 15, 2015 So when can you start having sweets again? You were a good girl for months so I hope there's at least some cupcakes or a Snickers bar in your future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted April 16, 2015 Author Members Share Posted April 16, 2015 Aww, since I know you aren't really a people lover, this means a lot Chit. Thank you. Yes, I can eat sweets again. My doctor wants me to stay on the GD diet, but only as a way to lose weight. The stakes are much lower at this point. I celebrated with a Reese's peanut butter egg. LOL! Sodium is the issue now. Not to give TMI, but my legs are super swollen right now, which can be normal, but this is not. I went to the doctor today and I took great pleasure in showing the nurse my legs after she made clear she thought I was wasting their time. Her reaction was "Oh Wow! You were right to come in. I've never seen anything like that.". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 16, 2015 Members Share Posted April 16, 2015 I like the name "Nathaniel," too. Of course, yours is the SON Baby, so when he grows up (which will be, like, a year in soap opera time) he'll want something "edgier," like "Nick."

Members slick jones Posted April 17, 2015 Members Share Posted April 17, 2015 Nate is a nice nickname if he wants one. Let's hope he's creative, like Nathaniel Hawthorne of Scarlet Letter fame. We already know he's strong, and adorable. Enjoy him every day,my dear... Even when he's crying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Becki Posted April 18, 2015 Members Share Posted April 18, 2015 Happy to hear the baby suffered no ill effects from his dramatic arrival. Little boys are so much fun. I wish my two were still smaller. (Maybe not in diapers, but young enough to still enjoy hugs from their mama). Treasure these days. There is absolutely nothing in life more joyous.
