My sister called. She went for a checkup and they sent her to L&D. She has too little amniotic fluid and the heartrate of the baby was not OK.
Now I am hoping and praying that she and her little one will be safe and sound. They might induce her but I think chances are that she'll have a c-section.

The upside of this is that my mom is arriving here at 1:30 pm - and they asked me to go and pick her up in their stead. That means my mom will stay with us until my sister has had her baby - unless my mom decides to take a cab there and be with her. My sister asked if it would be OK with us if my mom slept over in case she won't have the baby until the evening. Are you kidding me??? The more time I can spend with my mom the better - I haven't seen her since January 2004!!!
So here I am ... nervously awaiting the arrival of our nephew.

OMG Nadine!.. I hope the baby and Mum are both okay...:hug99: to you and your family! great news that you get to spend some time with your Mum... My fingers are crossed all goes well.

I know she's been waiting too, Nadine, so I'm really happy to hear the baby is on the way! Keep us posted!!

Hope everything goes smoothly :bighug: enjoy your time with your mom :)

I hope that everything goes smoothly and Mom and baby are healthy! Enjoy your time with your mother!

How exciting and what timing.

I hope everything went smoothly and you have a new niece or nephew by now!!

That's exciting. I hope that everything goes smoothly for your sister. :)

Your Mom is flying in from NY? Did you give her a big list of stuff to pick up for the kids from the States? :)

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!




:bteddy: He is here!:bteddy:
I am proud to present my nephew!! (Name will be given in a week at the Bris.)

Both mom and baby boy are OK. :suck: She even managed to nurse him right after birth.
They came to L&D and checked her. TG everything seemed OK with the baby. So they stripped her membranes, let her walk around and around 7 pm contractions started without a need to induce her. At 1:45 am the little man arrived, weighing 3.4 kilos. :sunny:

:woo: Congratulations Aunty Nadine!!!! (is that what you are called there?) Welcome little man :bteddy: What a beautiful boy! :love3: I'm glad all went well. Can't wait to hear the name :)

Thanks, Clare!

I am really worried. Julie is still bleeding heavily and she fainted in the shower and then again when she was on a wheelchair on the way from the shower to bed. She was put in the room that is closest to the nurses for observation. That could be so dangerous! I hope she will be fine soon.

Firstly Congratulations on the safe arrival of your nephew! :hug99:

Secondly that is really scary with your sister, I hope she recovers fast... keep us posted!

Thanks, Deb.

They gave her something to take of the bleeding and now she is sleeping. I hope for the best.

I am hoping for the best too! :hug99: my girlfriend had bad heamoraging after giving birth too and had to have a transfusion. it was pretty scary but thankfully she was okay.

Hang in there

Nadine, what a beautiful nephew! Congratulations. Best wishes that your sister feel well soon.

:hug99: I hope the bleeding has stopped and that Julie is feeling better!

Congratulations on your nephew! :)
I'm glad your sister is doing better and hope that she'll be fine...

Congrats on your new nephew! :love:

I bled just like that after Micayla. They ended up giving me pitocin after birth to contract the uterus and slow my bleeding. Obviously I turned out just fine. I'm sure she will too. :nod: :hug99:

Congrats Aunt Nadine! :woo: I hope your sister is feeling well soon. Can't wait to hear the little guy's name!

Moved to Good Times

Congratulations Nadine and Julie! I hope Julie is doing better and that you are enjoying your visit with your Mom. :) Baby is a cutie!

Congratulations to you and your sister, Nadine! Mazel tov! ;)

I hope she's doing better and that the bleeding has let up for her. :crossfing

Thanks!
Julie and the baby are fine. They were released from the hospital last night and had their first (sleepless) night at home.
I'll know the name on Thursday.

Awww, he's beautiful!!! Congrats, Nadine and family! :teddy:
