Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi ladies,tought i wouldn't be back till next week huh?Hey, i still got 4 evenings of pregnancy left.Time is going by really fast now.And Jesse is sooo active.I really thought that it would slow down being this far along but nope,he keeps kicking and "swimming" from one side to the other.Oh, i promise that i will post pictures of my little man on the internet.Maybe in his newborn Oklahoma Sooners outfit?With tiny wooden shoes (that would be the dutch part of course).So Tami,getting ready for decorating the nursery huh?That is so much fun.I actually really enjoyed doing Jesse's laundry.It's so cute to fold those tiny outfits.Did you register for your shower?You are having 2 right?And Anna, i think you got your hubby very well trained.Maybe you can give me some tips? And yeah ;i think woman shoud dominate the world.I think we can do a much better job LOL.Sorry to hear about your incisions,i can imagine the heat not helping any with that.What kind of lotion are you putting on it?Oh,thanks for wishing me a record delivery,i'm kind of hoping for the same but to be very realistic i'm not counting on it.I'm not going to be negative,but i'm just going to count on a 30 hour labor,with gallstone attack,all very painfull and end up with a c-section.So anything less than that will be just a blessing.As long as my baby is healthy everything else is peanuts right? Well ladies,good night and i'll be back tomorrow evening.

Hey ladies! Hope all is going well for everyone. Shelly-Are you getting nervous? I bet you have the easiest delivery in history-you deserve it right. :) Just a few more days of pregnancy and you will hold your adorable little boy! Isn't that an amazing thing to think of? We put Kailey's crib together today, and it is so exciting to finally be getting ready. I am having a shower tomorrow and I registered at Target and another baby store here. I am thinking of registering at Babies R Us for the next shower. We'll see what happens! I am so excited to see your pictures that you post of your little boy once he is here. you should totally go for the Sooner's outfit and the wooden shoes-that would be cute! Of course you have to include some of your heritage right? My family was just in Holland at the World Friendship Games-my sister plays soccer, and they said they got a cute little pair of wooden shoes for Kailey. How fun! Well, I will talk to you later! Enjoy your last few days of pregnancy and feeling your little one move around inside you!

Hello people, I am doing ok today although I am now unable to get any sleep, the joys of pregnancy. I hope everyone is doing great and enjoying their pregnancy. Shelly, I bet you are thrilled and nervous. When will you have your gallbladder out? Can you imagine having your newborn and being able to enjoy the time with him not worrying about gallstones and getting to eat everything you want. Tami, I hope you are finally settled in, and let us know what u get at your shower. Well I talk to ya soon.

Hi ladies,actually i am a little more anxious than nervous at least at this moment.Of course that can change lol.I will have my gallbladder removed about 2 weeks after delivery,we havent set a date yet i guess we will see how this goes and hopefully it won't turn out to be a c-section.That may delay my surgery a little bit.But i think once the baby is born it will take a lot of pressure away and of course i will not have a baby kicking against it.So maybe,just maybe i will not have any more attacks??? I am being very conscious of my pregnancy since in two days i will not be pregnant no more.I have video taped Jesse on a very active moment,so that will be need to see down the road how he used to move inside of me.(nice to show later to his girlfriend?heh heh)Or his friends if he doesn't listen to mama.i am very happy that i know WHEN i will have him,that way i can prepare for everything and not forget stuff,but at the same time all my friends are making me cry b/c there like this is the last time i see you pregnant.We are all so aware of it.Well guys,till next time and think about me on monday (and tomorrow night).And Tami i want to know all about your baby shower and what you got.I got really spoiled today,(costumers)i got the diaper genie with extra refills,playtex ventaire newborn bottle giftset,a winnie the pooh outfit giftset up to 18 pounds(they figured i had a bunch of newborn clothes)and 2 carters creepers also till 6 months,a carters hooded towel with matching washcloths and a carebears fleece blanket with hat (for winter!!).that was so sweet.Well let me know,and if i dont talk to you all later today i'll be back with my birthstory mid next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAGHH!!

Hi ladies, I hope that all is going well! Shelly I am thinking of you and hoping your labor is going great! Well, I had a great weekend and a great babyshower. I got lots of good stuff-and this was only my small shower with a few friends. I am having a big one in a couple of weeks, so we'll see what happens there. I got two of the cutest handmade blankets that I have ever seen, and even some cute burpcloths that my husband's aunt made for me. We also got a travel system-combo stroller and carseat. It is adorable with cute little African safari animals all over it. I think it is called the Aura safari travel system. I also got some adorable clothes and even some little hairbows as well as a diaper bag and a ton of other stuff. It is nice that we are getting some of the big stuff (my in-laws bought the crib) so we can afford my husbands tution this semester! Anna-I know how you feel about not sleeping anymore. I was up bright and early this morning at 4 AM after waking up every half hour since my back hurts all the time and my little girl has been crazy today. She moved all through my ob visit-in fact distracted the nurse when she was taking my blood pressure when she flipped several times and my whole stomach was moving! I know I am not going to get a good nights sleep for quite a long time, so I might as well get used to it, but as for now I am goign to take a nap soon. Hope that you are doing well. How are those incisions of yours doing? Mine gets redder by the day, but it has stopped itching since I rub cocoa b___ter on it every night! Hope you are feeling well. How has your pregnancy been going since the surgery? Is the morning sickness gone! Well, I will talk to you ladies later.

Hello ladies, I hope everyone is doing fine. I am ok, eventhough my doctor called and said I have to go back for the three hour glucose test my blood sugar was a little high. She also advised me that I am anemic. I was with my first one so I need to start popping those Iron pills. uuggg...My incisions are also getting redder and the one on my belly b___ton hurts real bad, I know I have been doing to much and I need to slow down, but everything is a mess. I am glad to hear that you had a nice baby shower Tami, its good to get all kinds of goodies from everyone. I got a lot of useful stuff with my shower with my little girl. Thankfully we saved all the major stuff from my little girl and only really have to worry about the little things like clothes, new bedding, and acessories for her nursery. I hope you are enjoying you pregnancy because I KNOW this is my absolute last one. I just deal with all this drama again. I had a hard time with my first and always hoped my second would be smooth sailing but it has turned out much worse. Ohhh.......I just need some cheese with my wine.....LOL...I can't wait to hear from Shelly, I hope everything went well and she is probably having the time of her life spoiling little Jesse already.

hello i had a question and dont know who to go to. thought someone here could help? i have 1 gallstone that just gives me mild pain all the time,and have a hernia in my belly b___ton from my first kid, but want to have another baby,if i have the surgery now to take out the gallbladder and fix the belly b___ton im afraid ill have to have the belly b___ton done again after my second child. i trying to limit the surgerys....so im trying to see if its a really bad idea to wait...

Hello Kim, I suggest you take care of your surgeries before you decide to have another child. I knew I had gallstones but was having little to no problems before my pregnancy. After a month into my pregnancy my gallbladder started giving me a lot of problems. I had my gallbladder removed with laser surgery around my 20th week I believe. Although my symptons are gone, I am limited more on what I can do, which feels like nothing. My little girl always wants me to pick her up and help her up and I can't...she's always the one to help me out of bed. I would recommend having it before your decide to get pregnant and talk to your surgeon about how long you should wait before you try for another one. I would listen to their advise so the pregnancy runs smoothly without complications and surgeries that could of been taken care of before hand. Your child and you deserve a nice normal pregnancy.

Hey ladies. I hope everyone is doing well. Shelly-I hope everything went fine and you are enjoying your time with your precious little newborn. I bet you are having a wonderful time! Can't wait to hear how things went. Anna-I know how you feel about the scars-mine is getting redder and redder by the day-ick! I bet the one by your belly b___ton is really irritated-mine hurts and I didn't even get it cut open so I can understand what you are going through! So, do you know how you are decorating your baby's room yet, or are you using the same stuff? I bet it is nice being prepared with all the major stuff, so you only have to worry about more minor things. I am going crazy becuase I feel like I have to get everything ready now. I am probably driving my poor husband crazy. He thinks I need to take it easier-which I probably do, but things need to be done! I know how you feel about overdoing it, but not having much of a choice! Kim-I would also recommend getting the surgeries over with before pregnancy-especially the gall bladder one. In pregnancy gall bladder disease tends to worsen, and you dont' want to have to be in a position where you have to have surgery during the middle of pregnancy. It is very stressful and definitely not fun to go through. Anna and I both had surgery during these pregnancies to get our gall bladders out, and I am sure that if we had known beforehand the problems it would cause during our pregnancies we would have gotten them out before. Hope this helps in your decision and good luck to you!

Hello ladies, I hope everyone is doing great. I understand about how red your cut is getting Tami, I'm worried about how mine are going to look after the pregnancy all stretched and huge. Another reason Kim should have her surgeries now so they can heal properly. I have decided, I think, on lambs and Ivy Sweet as a Daisy, bedding but I am still looking for a lavender and green set with a canopy, with no luck, I guess I will just buy a white one and add a ribbon trim or something. but I am also redecorating my little girls room. Her crib is huge and she was still sleeping in it until we found out I was pregnant and since then she had camped out in our room. My husband always jokes and tells me that she moved in to late, the damage was already done. Well, we have the task of taking her bed and giving it to the baby. I hope it goes well she has picked her bedding and wants Disney Princess theme. I still have my childhood bed in our spare bedroom so she will get that for now. I am excited on decorating two diffferent rooms, I want them to be different because I know they will be two different little girls and I want to acknowledge that now. My husband thinks I'm crazy and that I should just use everything we have. But I refuse I will not have her say when she grows up that she always had hand me downs and that Annacely is the favorite.

Hi ladies,i finally got my little prince and he is the sweetest cutest boy in the whole world!!! I am going to be very modest about him.I fell totally in love when i saw him the first time.He has my nose chin and mouth and my hubby's eyes and long legs.He was born 08/09/05 20 inches long and 6 pounds 7 ounces.I dont think i'll tell you the details about my labor until you guys have had yours( really dont want to freak you out). In very short i went 36 hours into labor and ended up having a c-section.So now i can talk about incisions too! I'm not allowed to do nothing for the next two weeks besides taking care of my little boy.But when i look at him i would still do everything over again ,he is soooo worth it.I know i already loved him deeply when i was pregnant (its weird not being pregnant anymore) but the moment i saw him......wow...its just an incredible feeling.Well i hope you guys are doing alright,Tami i am happy you had such a nice babyshower,and i'l be back tomorrow.Right now i'm going to wake Jesse up and cuddle.

Shelly, I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying your little precious one. He is a good size beside the fact that you couldn't eat hardly anything. I can't believe 36 hours! Wow.. I hope you enjoy your time, I know how it feels not being pregnant. I grew so accustomed to feeling her move inside and when she was born it just woke me up, like wow, this is what all the pain, vomiting, and drama was about. I understand about it being worth it. Did you have any problems with your gallbladder during labor? Are you still on your diet? Tami, I hope you are having a good day as well. How long do your have left. I am now entering my seventh month and this has flown by so fast! I feel as big as a hot air balloon. All the joys of pregnancy. I just made a police officer go on a pint of ice cream run. It was an emergency call! They all laugh and are happy to indulge me and make fun of me as a matter of fact.

Shelly-Congratulations! I am so excited for you. I bet it is almost surreal finally having you little boy home with you. I am sorry to hear about your tough labor and the resulting c-section, but I am very glad that both you and Jesse are healthy! Go ahead and brag all you want, because I am sure Anna and I will do the same when our little ones are finally born! I can't believe that he is finally here-that means I am just one step closer to having my little girl. Did your gallbladder give you trouble? I hope they removed it when they did the c-section-that way you won't have to be cut open again in a few weeks. Let us know how you are doing. We both know how it is to recover from surgery. I hope that you are feeling good and enjoying your wonderful time with you little newborn. I bet he is so precious! Post some pictures soon. :) Anna-good for you making those police officers spoil you! It must be fun being doted on by them. How is the room decorating going? Sometimes it is so hard to find the perfect decorations and bedding-I am so picky when it comes to my baby! It must be fun having your older girl help you pick out what she wants. She just seems so adorable from what you have said! Can you believe how fast time is flying? I have five weeks left from today, which is freaking me out! I guess everyone gets jitters about labor and delivery. I am at the point where I feel I need to have everything done so soon, and I am driving my husband crazy. As for feeling like you are as big as a balloon, I understand! I swear my stomach grows by the day. Recently my sweet baby has taken to pushing my ribs outward so hard that they actually make a popping sound. It hurts so bad! I never knew that pregnancy could cause so many aches and pains, but I am learning quickly! Hope you are doing great and feeling wonderful!

Shelly-I was wondering how b___stfeeding is going for you. Is it pretty painful or going well? I am definitely going to b___stfeed, but for some reason that is something I am a little worried about. Hope you are enjoying your time with Jesse and doing well recovering from that c-section!

Ive just found out i'm pregnant (about 5 weeks) 3 weeks ago i was in hospital with gallstones and was on IV antibiotics with tramado for pain, no idea why the blood tests didnt pick up the pregnacy then. Im worried that the drugs are going to have caused damage to the baby, Im still waiting to hear from my surgeon regarding this....so at the moment im sitting here pretty scared.

My daughter had them before she delivered in June. Was scheduled to have it removed after the birth, but had a attack so bad she had to have emergency surgery. Just be real careful what you eat.
