It's a lot more quiet than my Ameda and the sunction seems great. You can hack Medela parts to work with it as well if you still have those around.

Especially between 3 and 4...I'd think those To would be a lot more similar but your belly looks completely different! <br /><br />I really hope you have an amazing experience with Hypnobabies. It would be great to walk away from your last birth feeling like it was your best! Epidural or not is irrelevant, I just hope it helps you keep a calm state of mind!<br /><br />Vericose veins. Blegh. Not a symptom I deal with, but they are hereditary in Chad's family and he had them bad enough to have surgery on them last year. His were super painful though, so I'm thinking if you are only now getting them and you've only got 4 weeks to go, you'll be fine post pregnancy!<br /><br />A few last things:<br />Came across The Tonight Dough last week, ironically, and fell in love. <br />Magnetic closures?! What is this magic?!<br />Been stalking that Etsy shop cause those outfits are so damn cute. <br />I was just marveling to Isaac last night that I cannot BELIEVE he was my first baby and now he is a giant. <br />And last, yay summer!!<br /><br />4 weeks to go!! Holy crap. That's insane. LOL.

I prepared a lot before Drew and kept telling myself that it was going to get worse so that I would appreciate where I was. The only time I was about to lose it with her was when we first got to the hospital and getting inside, to the room, changing, etc. made me lose my focus. Having a doula was a HUGE help too, so if you are seriously considering trying to go drug free, maybe look into that? I feel silly that I am still sad about my delivery with Paige and getting the epidural, but I seriously think interventions are the worst at letting you do it natural - but at 39w6d there just isn't anymore time to let your body do its thing so after 12 hours of contractions, 24 hours without sleep, Pitocin and the Group B drugs and still being 2-3 I just couldn't take it anymore, ha!Allenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738835840061426517noreply@blogger.com
