Pregnancy Info HOME

Thanks all, one day hopefully, we'll see. Didn't shed a tear this month though, becoming ok with it. 5 months left and I'm going to be done. Anyhow, enjoying my little blessings here at home. We went out for dinner last night and I looked arouind the table at the 5 of us, and I just felt so blessed already. If nothing ever changes, life is perfect!

Lm3 - good for you! We do tend to forget our little blessings that we already have.. Thanks for reminding me. Have you considered IUI or anything like that? BM5 - glad you were able to take off a day and rest. a DD huh?? did they see for sure see a p___s on the one you carring now? I have dreams all the time about being pregnant.. then I wake up & hug my soon to be dh & im sooo sad. . they feel so real.. hopefully i will some day.. You do crack me up with the s_x comments.. good for you!!.. must say i sorta kinda love it myself! H&E hows the baby cla__ses? Hi Sann - im fairly new here.. are you TTC?

TTC-Yep, saw the p___s on both ultrasounds-different places, different techs. Perhaps we're just meant to have another? And by the way, TTC, more b-ding, higher chances of conceiving, right? Enjoy away! Definitely can' t hurt. I'm always telling people that we weren't ttcing, but it probably wouldn't have mattered what form of b/c we were using with all the b-ding we do! I do think that's whats causing the bh contractions that I have daily now though. But I was the same with other 3 pgs and was always at least 8 days over EDD, so I don't think I have to worry about pre-term labor from it. And btw-Sann is pg with EDD of Apr 18-22 with a baby girl! Sann-it's great to hear from you-hope to get another update soon! LM3-great to hear you so positive, but I'm sure you will have #4 on the way soon to add to your beautiful family, hang in there...hugs to everyone.

Hi TTC, no I don't think we will do IUI. With my pregnancy history I couldn't carry multiples very easily and couldn't only keep one so we have decided not to chance that unless it happens of course just by nature. So, here we sit and see what plays out. So far other than the hormones being slightly off, there doesn't seem to be another reason that IVF or IUI wold even help i don't hink. I just know that what will be will be. How bout you? Whats your plan of action? Also, forgive me, I can't remember if you have kids now or not?

BM5....I took the one hour glucose test, and coincidentally on the day the results came back, I had an appointment with the doctor. He said the results weren't in my file, but they were probably in the "IN" box, so he would only call me if I failed. Well, before I even finished making my next appt., I got called back into his office and he told me I needed to do the 3 hour fasting test. I did the 3 hour test on Monday of this week (2 days ago) and just got the call a few hours ago that I failed that one too. So now I have to see a nutritionist and go on a diabetic diet. They will call me with the arrangements for the nutritionist. Yay, fun (sarcastic). Well, at least my weight will probably stabalize and the baby's weight will too. She is already ahead in size, so I need to be careful. The people already counter-offered for the house, so we just went and made another counter. This part of the game is nerve-wrecking! I also bought my first pack of diapers and wipes today! I'm trying to get all the things you need for the first day abay is home just in case I go early since I have been having this cervix issue. I have been very active this week. So much for paying attention to doctor's orders! There is just so much going on right now, plus I was going looney with the restless leg problem. I couldn't fall asleep until 3am last night due to restless legs. I took a nap today and woke up with it! I'm so sick of it . Well, going to go shower. I'm hot....it's in the 80's here. Not pleasant for a PG woman.

Hi all - sorry this one has to be short too as my mum arrives today and I've still got loads to do! Tracy - good luck with the house offers. Hope you get it at a nice price. And don't do so much!!!!!!!!!! (Nothing to do with doctor's orders - you're just making me feel terrible that I haven't bought anything yet!! LOL!!! Still - mum's bringing loads of hand-me-down baby stuff today and the baby shower's on Saturday so by Sunday I'll have more of an idea what I need.) Seriously though - do take it easy or you might end up with an early delivery anyway! Sorry about your glucose test. Let us know what sort of diet they put you on - I'm particularly interested as they found sugar in my urine again yesterday and I'm concerned that I could be doing something about it. Sann - great to hear from you. Keep us updated please. Dying to know your progress. BM5 and Val - aren't dreams the funniest? Mine have been pretty vivid throughout the pregnancy so when I have another "comedy" I'll share with you! lovemy3 - great to hear you sounding so positive. What progress - keep it up!! TTC#3 and everyone else - hope you're all well. Sorry this is a short one but still got lots to do. It may be that I'm a bit quieter than usual over the next week as my mum will need "entertaining" but I'll clock in whenever I can and let you know how the shower went! Big Hugs to all of you. XOXOXOXOX

Good morning ladies, hope all are doing just fine. Tracy, I am sorry you had to go through all of this, and I can hear you, I have been on bed rest for 3 days only and I am already going crazy, hang in there, it's worth it. I am glad you are keeping yourself busy with the preparations for the baby arrival, and good luck with the new house. Keep us posted. Hopeful, I am envious that you have your mom coming to visit, I wish mine was a live and with me. Enjoy your shower, LM3, glad you are in this spirit, you will get #4 soon, just keep the faith. BM5, I guess we can't call those activities B-DANCING anymore, because mission accomplished, so they are fun dancing, what do you think (wink) (wink). I hope you feeling better today. LB, did you try my ideas? Hope you are doing well now. Val, how is going? Punkin, I hope you pain is better now, wish all the best. TTC, good luck this cycle. SANN, hello there stranger, I am glad you came back and you are doing well, how is you little one doing? Any names yet? As for my updates, as you can see I am pregnant again and hoping this one will stick. Please keep us updated, we would like to hear about your progress. MY updates for all, I am still on bed rest until we have the u/s next Tuesday, wish me luck. Sorry if I missed anybody, I am typing while in bed after taking the progesterone thing : ) : ). TTYL

Morning all. bm5 - ok all boy.. I guess will see BM6 soon for that girl!! & thanks for the info on SANN - that baby is right around the corner! H&E - have fun with your mom coming in.. & your baby shower! Hope you get lots of fun stuff. LM3- I do have 2 dd from previous marriage which took 13 & 10 cycles to conceive. But this time around my soon to be Dh is a paraplegic & my ob/gyn says ivf will probably be the only way to get pg this time (due to his count, motility, morphology, etc). But we try each month until were married because we both believe it can happen on its own. But if it doesnt by the time we marry then we will try the IVF. COL-hey girl.. stay off those feet & rest til that u/s Tracy - boy your pregnancy is throwing everything at you & the kitchen sink! Hang in there! Hopefully they'll get you settled into a nice diet that will do wonders for you & your baby.. Good luck on the house.. I really need to get out of mine. I live in a set of row houses & my neighbors bas____nt is flooded & the only way to unclog is thru my bas____nt & it is such an inconvience. Now tonight I gotta let in the landlord who is extremely strange & have him snake the drain & it already stinks from him trying last night! I wish I had the money just to pick up NOW & move.

Yep, this pregnancy has thrown so many things in my path. It seems if it's not one thing it's another. I'm sitting here starving right now because the only thing I can think of to eat is eggs since they are protein and I really don't want any! UGH, the house deal is already getting to me!!! Things are on hold until Monday, if I get into why we'd be here all day, so we can't even apply for our mortgage until then. AND once Monday comes aorund, the news might not be good and we may have to wait months in order to get a house. I'm irritated because I have a baby due, that only God knows when it's coming, I live somewhere that shoots off fireworks, etc..... and my life is in limbo. I can't set up the nursery, because Murphey's law would have it that I'd end up having to take it all down. I'm just frustrated. We were happily going to rent a house until his parents told us we should buy and that they would help us, and now we ar just in limbo. I am not ungrateful AT ALL, I just don't like this feeling. It goes against all of my nesting instincts.

Morning all. So, Tracy, that's maybe why you had such a hard time with the test-because of failing? That stinks. Its hard enough to watch everything we do and eat, now it'll be even worse. To add to everything else you have going on. Well, if it's any consolation, my dd has been a pain in the neck lately and I'd love to have some leverage telling her what I went through to bring her into the world, so maybe that'll give you something later on to help with those girlie hormones. That's the only thing I can contribute it too. My 2 ds' are soooooo easy compared to her. I swear she has a "let's get under Mommy's skin" b___ton! Don't get me wrong, I love my little girl, but sometimes dh needs to stand in between us when she gets on her little rampages. Something about those mother-daughter combos! Anyways, I hope you feel better and hopefully you'll hear soon on your house and that'll get your mind off the other worries, and just have new worries-lol. Hopeful-I hope you enjoy mom around-your shower is sooo close-how exciting! I can't wait to hear how it all goes. You'll need to sleep for a week after it's all over! Better get back to work-I'll check in more later...

hi all... TRACY, sorry about the GD test results - on top of all your other problems, that really sucks! Hopefully it's just a matter of diet and that will help. Crossing my fingers for your house counter-offer... I remember when we bought our place - it was really stressful! It feels so great though when you finally get those keys. HOPEFUL, how awesome that your shower weekend is nearly here! I'm doing the same thing as you... waiting until the shower to buy most of what I'll need (except the crib/co-sleeper, changing table, and a few essentials.) My shower is a month from today, about 8 weeks before my due date. My friend is having her shower 3 weeks before her due date - I'm a little worried for her, mostly because I think she'll be really tired by then and maybe not up for it. Also I thought that having it earlier would help with planning/shopping. Oh well... BM5, sorry about your dd. It's funny, I was totally hoping for a girl originally, but given my relationship with my mom (not great), I'm actually kind of glad to be having a boy. Although I'd still like a girl eventually. COL, I'm thinking of you and hoping you're not getting too bored on bed rest. SANN, glad you're still out there. How are you feeling? More details, please! LM3, glad you are doing well despite the bfn. You are definitely blessed to already have children! Whenever I get down about a pg pain or something, I just remind myself how sad I was last year when I thought that I might go through life without any children at all. TTC#3, that sucks about your bas____nt/drains connecting with neighbors. And weird landlords are no fun. (Neither are weird neighbors!) My update... finally have a day off. Planning on sitting around reading, and maybe finally crocheting some baby booties. DH has to go to Portland later today and I'm tempted to go with him, but he thinks I should stay home and rest. We have a couple of farm interns here though, so I won't have the house to myself like I would prefer (although the interns are really nice - it's just not quite as relaxing as it would be otherwise.) Baby is kicking up a storm. I think he was kicking my liver or something yesterday - anyone feel like the baby is kicking their internal organs. Still no GD test results, so I'm a__suming it came back negative, although I may call today just to be sure. And everything is covered in a layer of snow again today. This is the 4th morning in a row with snow! Very unusual for these parts. I'm sure it will be gone by 2pm, but it's beautiful out right now. Quick crazy mother story (my mom- not me.) I called her a couple of days ago because my dad thought I should invite her to come visit after the baby is born (I've never heard of a mother needing an invitation to visit her daughter and grandbaby but whatever). Anyway, she was pretty negative about the idea of travelling up to Oregon from California and actually said that she didn't think it was worth it to go all that way to see "a baby". Isn't that lovely? This is her first (and possibly only) grandbaby and apparently it's just not worth the effort or expense to visit us after he arrives. Luckily my MIL is wonderful and so very excited, and is already planning to come up for the shower and after the birth. I'm used to my mom's mean comments, but that one is really up there. Sorry, had to vent. ttyl...

ps - sorry that post was so long! Since I don't get on every day, sometimes I have a lot to say in one post!

Good Morning, We've hit the safe zone 34 weeks... YEAH!!!! Now this little boy can is in a great place! THe doctor has allowed me two 15 walks per day, I'm so excited about being able to walk again! We have an ultrasound tomorrow to check his kidneys to see if any more fluid has built up! Which gives up another chance to see our boy. COL thanks for the tips... the flax sead worked!!!! YOu must be excited about the ultrasound coming up on Tuesday! My first ultrasound with my second son was at six weeks, all I saw was a flashing curser for the heartbeat and a sac. Still very rea__suring since I was bleeding at the time. Looking forward to hearing about your results. Hopeful and Excited, your dream was funny... you must be worried about the size of your baby's head! If it makes you feel any better once you have delivered the head the rest of the baby is a breeze! With both boys I have had an episiodime, you won't feel it as the doctor usually performs it during a contraction. WIth your baby shower coming up on Saturday you will be so busy organizing your gifts. You may have very little shopping of your own to do. Lovemy3, it's great to hear how blessed you feel. Looking around the room and seeing your family just makes everything make sense. It's wonderful you feel so blessed! With your other children did you concieve at a certain time of year? This pregnancy and my last son were conceived in the spring (which I heard is one of the more common times to get pregnanct) my other son was conceived at Christmas. TCC #335 Hope you are feeling better throwing up and having your period is just cruel! Val, do you have many braxton hicks when you walk? I love being outside but I do remember lots of contractions and being very tired also. There is a weather warning here today otherwise I would be out having my first walk in months. Tracy88 sorry you feel so unsettled... the waiting game is always the worst! The nutristionist will give you some great suggestions on how to change your diet. We have diabetes in the family, I have low blood sugar and tend to faint towards the end of my pregnancy. Let me know if you would like some of the websites I try to follow. My weakness at the moment is sour cream, which I can eat by the spoonful. YUMMY!!! Babymakes5 who knows maybe a litlte girl would round you up to a nice even SIX!!! In the begining of this pregnacy I dreamed of having a girl also. It also was around the time my DH was telling me how he would love to have a "Daddy's little girl". My surgeon made it perfectly clear that if I want to be around to watch my boys grow up there will be no more babies. My liver still is healing from my previous pregnancy! My sister has the same daughter mother b___ton that you have.. too funny! She is the cuttest little blond! when she stomps her feet and throws her arms in the air I am so glad it's mommy that has to deal with it!

I just have to vent a little-I just had a meeting with my dept (which consists of Me, the controller and the bookkeeper) and was told that I'll be taking on more responsibilities starting on Monday. Great timing-NOT! Now I'll have no choice but to make it to work every day since the duties being added are a crucial daily activity that many others rely on the information. On one hand, I'm glad that they trust me with more responsibility, on the other hand, I'm just a little nervous about taking more on right now. I guess time will tell. Maybe I'll like it and I'll want to be here more? Bed rest is sounding pretty good guys. I guess the gra__s is always greener on the other side, I'm sure I wouldn't like that either. I just don't like not having a choice. I'm the main bread winner so it puts a lot of pressure on me (now I know why it's not the guys that have the babies-being the breadwinner and the caregiver-I think that's unnatural and goes against the laws of nature-lol) thanks for listening. Val-what your mother said really stinks. It amazes me that there are people out there so selfish. I guess I can't relate, as my mother has to see her grandkids at least once a month for a sleepover, or she gets what she calls "grandkid-itis", so I guess I'm very fortunate that way. I just can't imagine it any other way. I'm glad that you have a MIL that's excited for you because there's nothing like sharing what you're going through with a mother. LB and TTC-I'm not sure I can handle six! Sometimes (as I'm hiding in the bathroom away from everyone) I wonder if I can handle what I already have. As the time gets closer, I get more nervous about stretching my time so thin to make sure everyone gets a little piece of me. Hopefully I'll have more energy to be able to do that (eventually anyways). Right now my energy level is so low, I get home make dinner, do dishes, help with homework and I'm wiped out. TTC-that stinks about your housing situation, I know how frustrating that can be. Having a BFP sure would feel good about now, I'm sure. COL-hang in there on bed rest, I'm sure it gets old after awhile (although I'd like to try it for just a couple of days-lol), but it will be so worth it. I'm hoping the next few days go fast for you! And yes, I guess it is fun-dancing, but somehow fding doesn't look as good as bding when you write it out-lol. Tracy-hope you're hanging in there-that stinks you have to wait until Monday, hopefully it'll go by fast. I would not like to poke my finger several times a day-good luck with that-yuck. Maybe you'll get lucky and won't have to do that....that's all for now, until later....hugs.

Here is one site for Gestational Diabettes chinese-school.netfirms.com/diabetes-gestational-diet-plan.html Here is my one I have followed for most of my pregnancy, it's just healthy eating. It's great!!! You can set the site up to email you weekly. Let me know what you think! w w w.pregnancywithoutpounds.com/clickbank/home.htm?hop=0index

Hi Everyone.. extremely busy at work so just stopped by to say have a nice weekend. Oh Geez LM3 - Im sorry to hear that but as long as you ok with it, good for you & it was nice to meet you & ttc with with you. Are you going hang around here once in a while?
