Pregnancy Info HOME

Boodahbaby- I agree with you about the walking thing. I also tend to sleep better after I've got a good walk in. Though, its been really hard to motivate myself to actually go out and walk. I only walk in the evenings because its much cooler out, and by evening time, I'm usually exhausted. When Im not preggo my normal bedtime was like 11 or 12am, now I'm lucky to stay up after 9:00. It stinks being so tired all the time. Sadly, it will only get worse from here! Plus, of course walking helps bring the baby down and prepare you for labor...so there are tons of benefits...I just need to remind myself of that, maybe I'll get more motivated!

where is everyone today? So i had a total breakdown this morning about getting organized and being ready for this baby i was crying and couldent stop i think cuz we are so close i am freekin myself out poor joe just sat there and rubbed my back he looked at me like i was a loony tho lol..i guss that is kinda what i was like i dont know ..i hope after goin to the drs moro i will know more and be able to prepare more..alicia hope things are moving along good for you i dont know what time 2 is there so i dont know if you went to the dr yet it is almost 4 here but good luck

i've played badminton and done tons of housework and it still never goes down, actually it gets a lot worse. and my name is danielle by the way. its just too hot to walk here its been in the 90s for a while, and humid. and my lord its hotttttt. thats one reason i don't get out and walk much. if i wasn't prego i probably would tho, lol. my blood pressure goes up every so often but its been ok so far. they checked me for pre e but came back fine. this was a couple of weeks ago cuz of my swelling and i almost pa__sed out at the docs office. so i guess its ok.

Okay, so I am going to post for Alicia here.......she went to the doc and Mason weight approx 8lbs1oz at 36w5d!!!!!!! She is scheduled for a c-section next Friday the 25th!!! Yay! Katie, was your doc concerned about the breech baby? I REALLY hope she flips for you although I know things are starting to get cramped in there. I have started walking, but along with Danielle, I live in the Texas inferno and even at 7:00 it is so hot and humid, so its kinda sporadic. I have been getting quite a bit of activity handling the 3 kiddos I already have and I have been cleaning house like a mad woman for some company my parents have coming. But to be honest- I DONT want to progess at all or go into labor before my due date, so I am not doing as much as I did my previous pregnancies. I need hubby home first! He told me he probably won't get back from offshore until like the 2nd or 3rd. It is totally freaking me out because that is cutting it very close, since the 8th is only a few days after that. Anywho, Gabbi and Patti, hope you girls are great. Hell, Patti, you might be in labor right now for all I know!

Hey gals! Sorry for the late post. Today was our anniversary so we shut all phones off and disapeared to the lake by ourselves! It was great! Living in a small town where all your relatives live, it is hard to come by private time for yourselves, so we tend to hide sometimes! All is good here. Still getting some cramping and twinges, and I have been sitting on the yoga ball, although isn't that supposed to help baby drop?? I know she doesnt need to drop anymore, but maybe it will help convince her that maybe she wants to comeout??? :) TOnight I got up the energy to go for a walk with the puppy, but we made it about 5 minutes and a wild thinderstorm blew in and cut that short. Good ententions though!! At least the cool wind cooled our house off, no AC for us! Anyway, hope all is good with you all and I will talk to you tomarrow! Sleep well ladies!

WOW!! I jsut read your post Erin - Alicia that is great news that you will be holding Mason next friday!!! How exciting!! Looks likee you will be the first of us to have their angels!! Erin - no labour for me yet - but maybe Gabbi!! I am at 37 weeks today - so on the countdown for three weeks!!! Or unless she decides to make a grand entrance early!!:) Will you get to see Carl at all before then or is he offshore right now already??

morning ladies! im glad u had fun on ur anniversary patti! I bet you can't wait to meet mason alicia!!! does anyone else have a major problem breathing right now? my sinuses are going nuts and i have asthma, but i just feel like i can't breathe at all and my husband said the last few nights i've been snoring alot! and that it sounds like im having problems breathing even in my sleep. i know she's dropped down, so i don't think its her. i don't know, i just know i can't breathe at all.

hey guys... I am still in shock this morning that I will be a mom next Friday. Like I could totally have a heart attach when I think about it...lol. I went to the doctor yesterday and they did and us and he was 8lbs 1 oz. Up 1lb and 11oz since 2 weeks before. And my water was still at 21. He was so crammed in there poor lil guy. They checked my fundus and it was 44!!!!! I was 38 last week. So she fliped the script on me and said we are having a c section. So i wa sin shock because we were then we weren't now we for sure are.... So next Friday july 25th at 2pm Mason James Minchey will be born..... I am really excited to meet him just very nervous....lol. I had no weight gain this week which was cool. I love hearing that.... I am kinda sad because I wanted an 8-8-08 baby but Erin will have to live that dream for me. I am going to have my laptop at the hospital with me so you guys will get to see him probably by saturday morning. Maybe even sooner if Jeremy uploads them.

you'll probably be our first mommy!! unless patti goes, lol. where's erin been lately? and gabbi? i tried the pillow thing last night with pillows under my feet while i slept but my feet still stayed swollen. oh well, i don't know. i just wish i could breathe right now...

erin I think is out working right now making that money before she goes on leave. And gabbi is probably doing something to the house or walking the dog... She needs to get on here because she has no clue about my c section.... I wish your feet would go down. i know I put wet wash clothes on mine and it helps some... I too am having a hard time breathing. i am getting so out of breath it isn't funny today.....

my sinuses are draining, does that matter? i don't know if it does plus its been hot, but i've been in the house a lot. so its not like im out in the weather much. i am thinking about going to the beach cuz its the only thing that seems to help my feet. i soaked them last night in a bowl of lukewarm water but it didn't help at all. the river seems to help.

Morning ladies!!Danielle - don't fret about your feet - mine are the same. The swelling just doesn't go down anymore. They are always puffy, and then just get puffier. Doc said not to worry, it will go down once she is born. Sleeping with the feet elevated does help some though even though it does't seem like it! I am not sure about the breathing troubles though. That end seems ok for me, other than getting winded quick if doing stuff. Alicia - I am sooo excited for you and Jeremy! That is sooo soon!! I cna't beleieve it our turn already!! Mason is a big boy! But then hey, he has all these girls coming that he is gonna need big shoulders for all of them! Jeremy better post as soon as Mason is dried off!! We will all be waiting anxiously!! WHat is everyone up to this weekend?? Anyplans?? Alicia - this is your last weekend alone.....!! :) yeahhhh!h!!!! Have to run to the city with hubby to get some grocieries and such, so I will check back when I get back! Have a good morning guys!!

I think cool water would be best for you Danielle. But I am sure the beach will help too. patti i have so much to do... No fun things for me this weekend... Have alot to do.

Welp ladies, today is they day. I have a dr's appt in about 3 hours to get my membranes stripped. We'll see if it works. I'm counting on it too, but I know it doesn't always. My family is in town now, my husband has his leave all set up, I am ready to get this show on the road!!

the beach made me feel better but now i am really sleepy. but it didn't help my feet much. dang it, lol. wow, alicia i can't believe ur getting ready to have mason so soon! it just seems unreal we are all getting ready to have babies! woohoo!!!!

I know I can barely believe it either... I think i will spend sometime out at the pool next week... Oh and I went to red lobster with some of the girls for lunch and I am stuffed... It was soooo dang good though....
