Morning ladies. I'm stopping by for some last minute baby dust :) I'm going to be joining that list soon.
Wow, that pg list is huge! I want to join so badly!! I'm trying my best :)
Deb, wonderful news about the screening, I am so happy for you.
Selaiwa, You are in my thoughts and prayers. I wouldn't worry about temping but I know it is tempting. I'm sure one small dip doesn't mean anything. Take it easy!
Gigi, She is so beautiful! I know she will be so spoiled!!
Good Luck Lori, we're a day apart this time!
Well, we're getting ready to start in again this month. Maybe I will join that list one day.
Morning Girls! Stopping by for my daily dose of baby dust since i'll be jumping back on that train ASAP!!!!
Gigi...Congratulations! She is absolutely beautiful!
Debs...I love my doppler, but I had to put it away because I was becoming obsessed with it! My daughter loves being able to hear her little sisters heartbeat though, so I still break it out whenever she asks.
Selaiwa...I'm sorry to hear about your Grandma.
I had bad cramping for the first 16 weeks. I had quite a few ultrasounds to make sue everything was ok, it got so bad sometimes. Like Debs I also temped for a while in my first trimester, but my temp fluctuated so frequently that it drove me crazy with worry. I STILL get worried if I take my temp for something and it's below my coverline. I have read that the progesterone is what keep our temps higher, and that progesterone levels can vary greatly throughout the day in pregnancy, so our temps can as well. I know you won't read this until you get back, and I hope that you are as well as can be right now.
I have my last ultrasound on Thursday to check growth. I am anxious about it now, because everyone keeps telling me how tiny I am for 8 months, which makes me worry that maybe something isn't right. I had to be induced with DD because of poor growth, and I'm just about the same size i was with her at this point.
Deb Sorry to hear of the loss of your grandmother. Try to take some time for yourself.
Selaiwa (Deb) so sorry about your grandmother. Cramping this early is very normal as the baby is getting himself al cozied up to you!! Your in my thoughts and prayers!!! ((hugs))!! Take care of yourself!!
Debbie you probably won't get this message until you are back but I just wanted to say I am sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. Please don't stress about the cramps or the little drop in temp. I was obsessed with taking mine after I got my postive pregnancy test (as well as checking for blood every 5 mins) mine went down up down up.... and I am still hanging in there! I feel sure this little baby is a 'keeper' I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs to you xx
Thanks Bridgette and Lori. I will take it easy.Gotta go now. Bye
Debbie- I'm sorry for your loss, my prayers are with you. Try and take it easy, I know your little one is just fine, stress can really play a number on our bodies. (((HUGS)))
My prayers are with you and your family Debbie. I'm so sorry for the loss of your Grandma. But I'm sure your sticky bean will be just fine. Remember to take as many moments for yourself as you can during this stressful time. ((((BIG HUGS)))))
Last night and today I have been cramping quite alot. This morning my bbt went down .3 degrees. I have heard that when your temps drop that is a sign of impending miscarriage.
Just got news that my Grandmother has passed away and I have to travel out of state to the funeral.I won't be able to post for awhile but as soon as I get back I'll let you know how everything is going.
Gigi, I fell in love with your baby girl!! She is adorable.... I thought I wanted a boy but think I have changed my mind. I hope you are feeling ok and recover well from the c-section, I am having one with the baby and am dreading it :(
Gigi- she is adorable, it makes me even more excited for my little girl to come.
I>>>>N<<<>>>A>>>>L>>>>E>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Deb- what a beautiful moment to share with your family. I'm so happy that everything is going beautifully for you xoxox
Bridgette- I wonder what our chances are of od'ing on all this baby dust and getting pg with multiples????? Hmmmmmm!
Debbie- Your so sweet! I know that we all feel the same way :) (((HUGS)))
Gigi- I saw your pics, she is soooooo beautiful! Sending her a cyber squeeze!
AWWW!! She is so beautiful!!! Congratulations!! Take care and just rest.
hi ladies- i only have a quick minute. just letting you all know Abby Nickole was born oct 14 at 6:34pm. she weighed 6lbs and shes 19in long. she is perfect and precious. we got home yesterday, only a day and a half in the hospital. i thought that was pretty good for me having a c-section. i posted some pics, i have tons more! i'll be back on when i have more time.
Gosh,I am so emotional today !! I am crying tears of joy for you DEB.
I am so grateful to be pregnant again and having such great friends like all of you.I am glad that I can be able to share my pregnancy with you since I can't tell anyone in my family yet.You all are like my extended family.Thank you for your positive thoughts! It is nice to get a Hug every once and awhile. :)
Debs - that is such wonderful news! It must have been beautiful to hear the heartbeat. Your story brought tears to my eyes.
Debbie - I agree with Deb, you're in for the long haul on this one. That baby is going to stick!! (((BIG HUGS)))
**inhaling a daily dose of SSBD**
Oh Deb!! I am so happy for you!! That is wonderful news!! That is the one thing that I am most afraid of. What a wonderful day is must be for you!! It must feel great to be able to listen to your baby's heartbeat with your family!! I feel as though I were there watching it all happen. It is going to be one of your most treasured memories!!
As for me, my bbs are hurting alot and I am having headaches and morning sickness" more like all day sickness". LOL I am definately feeling pregnant! My husband brought home a bottle of wine to celebrate.I reminded him that I can't drink! It was so sweet of him though. So he and I took a jacuzzi together with only warm water. We were privately celebrating our pregnancy and he was getting ideas of baby names.It was wonderful to actually celebrate the pregnancy instead of worrying about all of the things that could happen.
Morning Ladies, how is everyone doing?
I've had a busy week and not been able to log on so just been reading all the posts for the last half an hour!!
Erika, your hand incident sounds awful.... I'm hoping that jr dr stays away from midwifrey can you imagine him doing stitches after childbirth with those *skills*!! OMG!!
Lori, I am so sorry that AF arrived, I know what a difficult month this is for you and was praying so hard. God has a plan... just wish he would hurry up! I know you won't give up and you are gonna be on that list real soon :)
Selaiwa, Good luck with your 2nd Beta, I know you are going to have great levels, and I know I keep saying it but this baby is sticking around and going the whole way. In the UK they don't test progesterone levels or beta so I don't have a clue what mine are/were sorry... sounds like you are right on track though :-D
I am doing ok, can't believe I am almost 14 weeks! I got my letter back from the hospital 'maternal screening' service yesterday and sat it in the kitchen all day as couldn't bring myself to open it but am pleased to tell you that when I did pluck up the courage to open it, I had the wonderful news that my recent screening tests have shown baby is NOT high risk for Downs!
I celebrated in the evening by opening the box for the foetal monitor I bought a few weeks ago and had a listen to baby with the kids and DH, a truely magical moment! Because the baby is so small it did take a while to find the heartbeat and baby didn't like the pressure of the doppler so kept moving away but the kids faces lit up when we eventually found the heartbeat and a memory I will treasure forever. I'm going to leave it a few weeks and have another go as had to push down quite hard which was uncomfortable & also know I am going to find it very addictive!!
how are the bellies doing today??
Seriously..if he was I'd be worried, very worried! But, the hospital is a teaching one, so really, what can you do? lol!
OMG, how hard is it to NOT go all the way through!! At least he's not a neurosurgeon resident!
