Hello ladies Im back after a long stressful break (read todays journal and it explains it all) I hope all is well as I try and play catch up here!
Started New Thread: Still Calling all Women Of Strength!!!!
Rachjas- I had morning sickness from like 6-8 weeks, but barely...! Guess I'm getting lucky this time around, hehe! ;) I just feel completely different this time around, totally different then when I was pregnant with the girls, and I know each pregnancy is different but it just amazes me at how different each one can actually be! :) Can't wait to hear your update from your apmt on Monday! I know you're anxious to see that lil bean! ;) How are you feeling?
Guesito- The baby's room is adorable! :) I'm glad the contractions have stopped, what a relief!! Wow, you're good! You've already got your bags packed?! I didn't pack mine till like a few days before I was set to have her, lol! You're on it! ;) 7 weeks will be here before you know it!
guesito- That's great news! Have you posted pics of the room yet?
Luvkayln- I can't believe you are that far! Did you not have m/s at all with this pregnancy?
AFM- Baby C is 6 1/2 months and growing by the day! Her finalization could be any day now. I am now 8w3d. I am on z.ofran for my m/s and still on progesterone. Our next appointment is Monday with our RE!!!
30 wks 5 days...Nothing new to report... Contractions have stopped Im just having the worst backaches, scheduled Prenatal Masages becuase it was too much to bear. Other than that Baby's room is ready, hospital bag is done, Baby shower gifts are pouring in even though is not til the 19th. Our fam and friends have been awsome! Just so grateful and the count down begins...7 weeks to meet my lil girl =)
Luvk- Yes Im on a medication to help stop contractions, Dr said that I will only be on it fro 2 weeks, after that they will let nature take its course... Baby was 4pnd 3 onz, last week so we are looking good... Thank you for the sweet note on the baby's room pic!
trh819- Aww, you're almost there, yayyy!!! :) How cool that the baby will be born on Valentine's Day!! Not too much longer! :)
Guesito- Wow!!! I'm praying those contractions stop!! We want your little one to stay in as long as possible!!! Did they give you anything to stop the contractions, or did they just advise you to monitor them? That is scary!!
Well, 12 weeks today ladies!! :) Half the time I forgot I'm even pregnant, I'm sure you wonder how that's even possible! Haha!! Trust me, it's easy to do when you have no symptoms and you're chasing a 1 year old around! :) She keeps me busy 24/7! It truely amazes me how this prengnacy is SO different from Kayln's and Addy's! I mean, my tummy is showing already and my bbs are super sore, but that's it. Otherwise, I probably truely would forget, lol! My car is completely buried from all the snow, and I have to be at work in a couple hours! Better go get the hubby on it! ;)
Well, I made it to February! 12 days to go! Most of the women in my February group jumped ship early, but my little one is hanging in there. I'm scheduled for a c-section on Valentine's Day unless baby turns, although that's unlikely at this point. I can hardly believe this journey is about to end and new adventure is going to begin. I am so incredibly grateful to the many amazing women I've met on medhelp who have encouraged and supported me along the way.
Guesito- I don't know what all this means but I am scared for you. Keep us posted and rest up. Your baby may be here before you know it!
Just returned from OB, was put on monitor and sent home. Contractions every 20 min so Dr said unless they are 6 per hr, every 10 min I should just go home and rest... Off to rest will keep you posted..
lost mucus plug headed to drs with minor contractions.....30 wks today!!
Hi ladies, hope everyone is having a great weekend. Sugar suddenly high and had mild contractions this afternoon... Im on bed rest waiting to see. baby is moving like crazy today so nothing to be concerned about unless my sugar continues to rise. I will poke myself in about 30 minutes to see numbers.
U/S pics posted... Baby got big cheeks!!
Yes, almost there. 17 days to go, if we can make it that far. Had a little scare at my 35 week appointment and have been put on partial bed rest at home. Just taking every precaution now to ensure baby stays put for as long as possible. I'll be 37 weeks and full term on Monday so we should be good to go. Just watching baby's weight at this point.
OB appt went great!! Baby has huge cheeks, weighs 4pnds 3 onz already at only 30 weeks. Bp & Sugar were great!!! so happy!!! 8 more weeks til c section!!!!
Hi ladies! :) I had my 11 week apmt yesterday, and everything went great! We didn't get an u/s :( , but we got to hear the baby's hb which was 174! It was funny b/c we were literally there for 5 minutes waiting, and in the room for 5 minutes! She came in and asked if I was having any problems/concerns and I said no, she listened to the hb, and then said... Ok, see ya in 4 weeks! I was thinking... Hhmm... probably could've skipped this apmt and done this all at home! Haha! (Since we have our own doppler). Next apmt is 2/24, and they'll do the second trimester screening then. I had the chance to do the first trimester screening (for down syndrome, etc) but I always opt out of that one. We get to find out the sex on Mar. 31st, which'll be the apmt after next, and I'm sooo anxious for that! :)
Dnikki- Haha, so BOY ya think? :) That sounds wonderful to me!!! ;) OMG, Peyton's b-day is here already??! Her cake sounds adorable! I bet ds will be ok with it all! He'll probably be distracted by all the other kids being there. Have you talked to him about it, telling him this is her day but his will be here soon? Aagh, the jealousy stage must be fun for mom and dad! ;)
Rachjas- Congrats!!!!! So happy for you guys!!! :)
Bfromthed- Good luck sweetie, fingers crossed!!!! SSBD!*
Guesito- Wow, 120 guests!!? Sounds like you'll never have to shopping ever... EVER! Haha!! I'm glad your levels are under control, and hopefully you'll get good news today at your apmt that they still are. 30 weeks, congrats!! You're almost there!!! ;)
K ladies, gotta run! Running behind for work! I'll check in later, hope everyone has a great weekend!!!! :)
Im doing better Sugar & BP under control for now. OB appt tommorow so we shall see. Think I have a growth U/S tomm hopefully I can see my lil girl again. I'm so excited 30 weeks on Monday unbelieveable. Im getting a little bigger everyone keeps telling me that im small for almost 8 months but Dr. says its perfectly fine so im not concerned specially since I had a tummy tuck 3 Yrs ago so it was really really flat and its just pulling really hard to stretch to point of being painful but No complaints! Feel so blessed and hoping time flies by to finally see our little girl, As far as the baby shower, we had to postpone it to Feb 19 Since we already have 120 rsvp's Yes 120!!! and the hall we had originally rented only had a capacity of 80 and had to find another with 150 capacity.... SSBD to all.

Sooo, since we have so many BFP's, here are my guesses ;-)
Krichar: Girl
Luvkayln: Boy
Rachjas: Girl
These are just my thoughts lol, it's always fun to guess!!!
I've been keeping up with everyone, just not much time to update everyone.
Rachjas: I am soooo happy for you guys!!! Do you have any u/s pics posted? How are you feeling?
Guesito: How are you doing? You are getting closer!
trh: Girl, you are almost there!! How are you hanging in there? Feeling okay?
AFM: Well I am going back to my RE on Monday for a surgical consult. I am so tired of having daily pain and headaches or migraines (mainly from birth control since they started up bad again around 8 months ago...). It's just exhausting. So he'll refer me to a surgeon so I can finally get a hysterectomy done. I am fed up with my current GYN. She just doesn't listen or give me the time of day. She literally told me that she feels that in order to control my pain, "We just have to find the right medication"...Um no! I don't want to be medicated for the rest of my life!! Okay, so there's my rant lol! I'll let you guys know what my RE says on Monday. Thankfully I've kept a pain journal since before Christmas. I'll hand it to him and let him read what he wants...
On another note, we have Peyton's 1st birthday party on Sunday!!! I'm making her a butterfly cake and a bunch of cupcakes since so many people will be there :-) It's going to be so cute! Oh, and she is walking everywhere now!! It's so dang cute b/c she's just her own little person lol. I'm hoping we don't really have any issues with DS since it's not his birthday and he's not really getting anything. I did get little bags for all the kids and him and my mom also picked him up something, but still...Hoping he does okay!
Anyways....! I hope you ladies are all doing well!!
Hugs, Love and SSBD to all :-)
yayyyy God is so good congrats to you and dh
How exciting! I still can't believe it... Congratulations to you and DH god bless!
OMGoodness, I am so sorry to keep you waiting. We had to wait an hour in the waiting room before we even got in and then we went to dinner. I posted that from my phone.
Everything looks great. I was even measuring one day ahead of what I should based on the last ultrasound. I am 7w3d today. We even got to hear the heartbeat. She didn't measure it, but she said it was 140-150 bpm and that it was normal. It was sooo amazing to hear. We had never heard the heartbeat in any of our previous pregnancy.
I am still in shock. It's still sooo hard to even think that we may be bringing home another little one in September.
Our RE is seeing us again at 9w and then will release. However, she has already given me a referral from an OB. I may go ahead and call.
We have told in anyone... but you all.... We still need thoughts and prayers!
Good luck!!! ~*~*~*SSBD*~*~*~ being sent your way!!!
