  • Awww yay finally! Congrats momma! :)

  • yayyy congrats.... i haven't been on here in ages cos my fone not wrkin but i came on esp to c if u've given birth and am soo happy u did!! :)
  • Me and baby Zorian r doing great! :) just loving being a mommy
  • @sexysecondtimemom i dont get on much either still learning how to balance it all out and this is my least important thing to do all day..lol .. @ExcitedForOctober i know i feel like it all happend so quickly im almost in shock.. like i was with my first child.. weird.. but i love him very much .. just like a dream,.
  • That's why i chose the hospital that i did because there's no way i would share a room with someone else.
  • Congrats♥
  • @Steph_Due_101611 believe me if that was an option for me i would have but since thats were my insurence demands me to go.. thats were i go.. :> the nurse as she was rolling me out said come back in two years and we will have individual rms for all patients.. dam.. just missed it .. @myHEARTZx3 thank you.. :O
  • and i know what u mean about sharing rooms! i have kaiser permanente and over here the hospital is not big...so with my daughter i had to share rooms for a while because it was over crowded. it was separated by a damn sheet curtain! LOL i really hope its not crowded when i give birth this time.
  • Geeze im on medicaid and i had a choice.
  • @myHEARTZx3 i had to share rms with all my kids but this one was the worst.. good luck i hope you dont have to share either .. its such an intimate time in life and it sucks when you have to share it with people you dont know.. thanking god it was only a 24hr stay..
    @Steph_Due_101611 Yeah im also on Medical .. and i think because of the cuts they put so many new rules and reg on where you can give birth.. i had a chioce between two .. but they had the same emenities so it probably wouldnt have made a difference.. at least i had great nurses though
