Hello May mommies!!

Nothing that new with me, had my rhogam shot today and my arm has been sore since. My birthday is tomorrow so I am looking forward to see what my hubby has planned! I have a haircut,massage and pedicure all booked for thursday so i am looking forward to that as well!!

how is everyone else doing?

[mandy38]

Happy birthday hkenny hope you have a good'un... and  lots of pampering comes your way!!

[Cyrena]

I had my rhogam shot on Monday in my hip (they said I couldn't get it in my arm) and it wasn't bad at all!  I don't know if it's because I have to give myself shots in the stomach every night now and I'm more used to the pain, but it just seemed a lot worse when I had it after my miscarriage.  I also did a one hour glucose test this past Saturday for which my results came back normal, thank God!  My cousin had to deal with Gestational Diabetes and I would imagine that takes a lot of discipline which is hard for me!

I have my 3D ultrasound next weekend on the 7th; cannot WAIT for that!!  Next Monday is my Baby Basics class at the hospital.  I'm curious about what all I will learn in it!  I'm kind of excited about that.  I have a "Mothering the Laboring Mother" class which is all about breathing techniques on the 21st, then my shower on the 22nd!!  Then hopefully I'll be ready for our baby boy to arrive!!

when do you start packing the hospital bags then?

[hkenny]

Thanks for the birthday wishes!!

claire- I LOVE MINI EGGS> i eat them almost everyday, i buy the big bags now b/c i eat so many. I also am finding i am more hungry and have been eating sweets like cinnamon buns!! i have been trying to balance that out with fruit and fruit smoothies.  
mandy- i craved curry a few weeks ago and had some, then that night i had the most disgusting heatburn, it was so bad i threw up so now i am worried if i eat it again if i will get sick again! i love it though.

good idea about the bag packing , i was thinking of doing that but i have no idea about what to put in it!! i;ll go look for the post!!

happy birthday today! i agree it's been way too quiet in here, nothing new for me just getting very tired, sore, and can barely bend over to even tie my shoe lol i go on mar 10th for my glucose test again, and then mar 13th is my 3d ultrasound. can't wait for that.... :) glad everyone is doing great, but ........... i am ready for her to make it into the world already lol and we are still debating names so we may not have a name until she gets here lol

I just started the post, I guess we are going to have double the ideas, even better lol.

Happy Birthday hkenny!!!!  Hope you have a great day and a wonderful time tomorrow being pampered!  I wish I was going!!!

As for me, nothing new.  Just getting bigger and uncomfortable.  I go back to the doctor next Thursday for my 4D ultrasound.  Can't wait to see what and who Reece looks like!!!  I'm officially to the point where I can't lay AT ALL on my stomach!  So, sleeping has not been my friend.  And DH is heading out of town, so I know I will definitely not be sleeping as well as if he was here.  Luckily it's just Wednesday to Friday this week and then Thursday to Friday next week...so I can suck it up and deal with it.

I was given some great ideas about packing...I'll start that post Jen so everyone can chime in.

Have a great day ladies!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!!! I am jealous of your pampering day. I want to have one.  But we are in the process of moving so I have to save money(easier said than done)lol.  

Nothing new to report on my end.  I have an appointment tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to that.  He is going to set up an appointment for an ultrasound to see if Ms. Nicole is head down, and if I have enough fluid and what not, then I will see him every two weeks instead of every month!!! Time is getting near and I couldn't be more excited.

I'm thinking about preparing my bag too.  I want to buy two of them.  One for the baby and one for me and my husband!!.I just don't know what to put inside.  we need to start a post and just name some of the things that we need to take with us!! That would be really fun.

Oh, I almost forgot.  Last night I was sooooo uncomfortable. I got nauseous (sp) dizzy, pain in my back and lower abdomen, I couldn't stand up straight.  I never felt like that before, but I guess it comes with the pregnancy.  I'm almost in my single digits!!! Meaning only 9,8,7,..... weeks to go instead of 12,14,15........lol. I will be 30 weeks on Sunday!!!So exciting!!

hkenny ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY~ Sounds like you will have a wonderful day of pampering tomorrow!

I just told Hubby last night I needed a pedicure REAL bad! I'm trying to wait tilll it's a litle warmer though so I can show off my piggies with my flip flops!

claire~ I have been eating like crazy too, for about 2 weeks now! I had to stop myself the other day and I bought a bunch of different fruits and yogurt to try to battle my sweets, & chocolate binge I have been having! So far so good.

I got to put my maternity notice in at work, so 1 more week and I will be off, I think time will slow down for me then, right now I still feel like time is whirling by me and I can't grasp hold of anything. It seems like I no sooner finish up classes for the week, then I have to work, and it's back to class again with no time for anything in between. I still have a mound of stuff to do with the nursery.

Any one start packing their bag yet, or getting ideas for what to take? I need to do that, with my history I could end up in the hospital tomorrow, and I have nothing ready, that would be awful, I don't trust hubby to do it! LOL

[mandy38]

last night I got the urge for curry and chips again!!  With all my girls I have a need for curry.. how weird is that!  Don't go back to hospital for 4 wks now, then I'll have a scan to see if baby is still growing on the 97th centile, if so they have talked about me being taken early.  As long as I don't have a caesarian I don't mind.  It will be the first time though every bay so far I have done to 42/3 wks with and then induced, so this would be new for me!!  Anyway we'll see.

Nothing new here...This just a boring time right now i guess, but i am happy to not have to report any bad news.  Just the normal aches and pains...Our little one is permenently camped out in my ribs and it makes it really hard to sit at my desk all day.
