Stokely Olivier Levien (SOL ☀️) 4.8.16
8 lbs 0.2 oz 21"
Married to my best friend in the world. Professional visual artist, born and bred LA girl, fur mom to Frenchie named Lucien.

Just finished a late night feeding and changing…trying to get Stokely into a steady sleeping pattern through the night before hubby goes back to work from paternity leave…*fingers crossed* he's doing great so far!

Contractions are 6-7 minutes apart…yay!

Went to the doctor and my fluid was low (4.7 AFI) so now I'm in the hospital about to get induced…but my L&D room is one of the best here (i have a window and a tub #winning)

Sometimes I feel like I'm being crazy about what others consider "little" things when it comes to my baby…I constantly check product guides on gimmethegoidstuff.org and search for the healthiest versions of baby products for literally everything and rolls act like I'm being crazy or bourgeois because I prefer diapers without bleach and formula without palm oil and chemicals.

Just got off the phone with the placenta encapsulation service and it's going to be $305 for everything which seems a bit high to me…

I cried over avocados today. Avocados!

Just sent the initial email to the placenta encapsulation service…officially ending my procrastination today on prepping for Stokely! Next I have to get his Pediatrician squared away.

I have PUPPs and they're killing me…I bought Grandpa Pine Tar soap after reading a bunch of forums on it and the itching is still killing me and I really don't want to do a prescription steroid or antihistamine cream. Some women experience so much irritation they get induced to make it stop…I'm almost seriously considering it 😢

Do other people's families and friends text/call them all day asking if they're in labor yet or is it just my crazy bunch of loved ones? 🙃
