Pregnancy Info HOME

As for other news in my doctors appt. Everything was fine..i gained 3 POUNDS IN ONE WEEK!!!!! I WAS LIKE WTF??? lol i couldnt believe it. Baby's heartbeat was in the 140's and he kept moivng when doc was trying to check lol. My doctor kept asking me is ANYTHING wrong cause i never really have any "irregular" complaints...just questions. Everything was fine...they will do another internal when im 39 weeks

Had my appointment with my GP today, and he said to make another appointment for next week...although he figured there'd be a good chance of him having to come see me at the hospital instead! Yay! Apparantly his track record with knowing when babies are born is pretty good, so that's exciting! Maybe this time next week I'll be a momma! That would be excellent. Apparantly all of my levels are way out of whack this week...my blood pressure is spiking, there's protein and something else in my urine...but he said everything is fine. My body's just working really, really hard. But YAY! Not too much longer! JENN--I'm sooo glad for you, that they've decided on a birth day for you! I am jealous though. No fair that you get to know!! Although, I guess she could surprise you and show up early! NEMO-Congratulations!

Good Morning yall. Nothing new here. Snug as a bug. haha I am hungry though. I have had this crazy craving for corn dogs with mustard mmm. OH I wanted to tell you ladies! Yesterday at my appt my doctor did tell me that a good nights sleep and being well rested ups your chances of going into labor naturally. So for everyone still waiting make sure you get your beauty sleep! hahaMaybe its cuz the LO will get bored and want out. haha SHALA~ Did he say what it could be? It may just be water retention AKA edema. I was so upset because yesterday I found out that I had gained 4 lbs since my last appt. It is just swelling though. BUT it is so so so disheartening. haha It really sucks to keep seeing the scales go up. I am really looking forward to seeing an instant drop in weight after I have Aaliyah. haha I havent had alot of complaints this pregnancy to tell my doctor either. All I ever do is ask him questions. haha He says I make him think. haha Yeah and the thing about the nurse, didyou tell your doctor? He may be p__sed. haha Seriously what if it had been the results for GD or something and then you went out and ate a bunch of cookies and icecream!? I would let him know. JENICE~ I am so hoping you will be seeing your doctor before the appt next week! Has he mentioned anything about how far he will you go over? I have my fingers crossed for you!!! I us three are all that is left huh?! haha IS there any one else still waiting? No wonder it has been so quiet in here!! I think we all need to "Will" ourselves into labor. haha Just think positive. haha Where is Evelyn? Did she have the baby yet? you know since she hasnt been around it wouldnt surprise me. Anyways Ill talk to you later chicas!

Hey Mama's :-) Jenn...I wonder did evelyn have her baby? i need to see have she logged onto myspace. the doctor didnt say anything about my weight gain...and he didnt seem bothered about it. And yes i told my doc but he just acted professional. i shouldve got the nurses name. And i cant STAND that cat lady...she gets on my dang nerves. and....MONDAY IS THE BIG DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jenn are you nervous girl?? i bet you are ready to though. Im sooooo excited for you. i feel like i been knowing you a while so...(tear) it makes it special for me too lol. PLUS i know you will be very very descriptive about labor so im waiting to hear that as well lol. Jeniece~I hope that you get some action soon girl :) Hopefully this weekend. I dont think im going anytime soon...i havent even lost my mucus plug...and im not a doctor or anything...but i think my baby is SIDEWAYS!!!! I have been having braxton hicks like CRAZY!!! but i havent dropped or anything yet??? Can you really tell when the baby drop? I wish i would lose my MP...im the one checking the tissue like crazy now lol. I dont even feel like he is coming anytime soon...i may end up going over...(sad face)

Shala I cant stand her either. haha I tried to ignore her but then she brought up her word vomit and stank the place up. haha If your doc isnt worried then dont be. My doctor told me that I could tell it was swelling cuz you could press a finger into my leg and there would be an indent. There still is and my ankles are huge. haha It may have been DJ going through a growth spurt too though. Thats right!! I forget about good ol myspace!!! haha I shoudl go check it too. I am nervous about it to be honest. And I was so ready to pop that I think I forgot to enjoy her movements. So this weekend is dedicated to me enjoying her last few movments. I will never have a chance again after this weekend to feel them the way I do now. I am scared and happy and nervous and terrified of an infant. haha Does your doctor do external exams for the position of the baby? Hopefully he wont let you go too far over your EDD if you last that long. Hopefully you go sooner rather then later. OH and I couldnt really feel her drop. Prolly cuz she hasnt all the way yet. She literally bounces inbetween -3 and -4 station. She hasnt fully engaged so still has room. I think she may be like Stewie from "family guy" I should watch my back!! haha jk

Jenn--I'm so excited for you! I can't write much, I just wanted to tell you that I'm happy for you and I'll be thinking about you. I can't wait to see pics:)

Shala~I think that Hayden was laying on her side most of the last few weeks...she ended up coming out face up, which put me in back labor...it also gave me alot of BH contractions also...The doc said that was worse than regular labor cause it puts more pressure on the back where the hard part of the head sits on your back

Morning Gals :-) JENN~Enjoy your weekend of Aaliyah kicking your b___t :-) I know you cant wait to see her and i know she will be beautiful....im so happy for you. Its been a long journey eh?. STEPH~ I guess i wont fuss to much about you not mentioning my name :-( j/k i know that you are busy w/ logan. I hope you guys are ok. JAIME~ What made you think lo was transverse? I really think he is cause when i have a bh the two biggest areas are on the sides...which im asusming is a b___t and a head. My doc didnt try to determine position...they said they will at 39 wks...ill actually be 38 wks and 5 dys when they check. Im doing fine for the most part...just bored and counting down the days...my b/f will be back down here Tuesday so im excited about that. He keeps telling me to go walk so baby can come and he can go ahead and take off...i think he's anxious a little bit...he dreamt of DJ and he said he had a LOT of thick black hair :-) He said he was caramel complexion...like....the color of a paper bag (is that a bad example) lol. We will see....hopefully soon enough

Holy c___p, yesterday was ab it hellacious.. I can tell that Logan is becoming "no longer a newborn" which happens at 28 days.. He was up for 6 1/2 hrs yesterday... WIDE awake.. If me or the hubby were to put him down to go pee or eat, he would SCREAM.. He didn't have a temp, he's not really sick anymore, he wasn't hungry, his diaper was fine... He just wanted to be held, lol.. It sucked at the time because we were trying to pack and eat and stuff.. We only have a few more weeks here if all goes as planned. Anyway, it worked in our advantage because he slept from 3am-730am, then he went back to sleep at around 8am, its 1015am right now and he's still fast asleep. So now I have time to catch up on email and some chores ,woohoo, hehe... Shala-You're almost there I'm so excited. Sounds like your bf is excited too! You two are going to have a GORGEOUS baby.. I can't wait to see pics... Logan was weird, he was pretty much head down the whole time.. except when I were to lay on my belly.. He would immediately put his head in one hip bone and his legs around the other hipbone.. Jen-I bet you and Shon are living it up, its your last weekend,lol.. Me and Derek didn't really have a "last weekend"...We didn't find out we were being induced until Monday for that NEXT Monday, but my mom was here that whole weekend before the delivery.. So no wild and crazy nights for us... lol.. I know this is TMI..but HOLY CRAP, the s_x drive comes back 10 fold..I don't care if I have a screaming baby, if my b___bs hurt, if I'm completely exhausted, and the hubby did something to p__s me off.. I want my s_x... Thank God, I thought I was drying up towards the end of my pregnancy,lol. I hated everyone and everything.... including my face pastime.. LOL sorry that was off subject, but thinking of a wild and crazy night immediately brought up s_xxxxx.. OH girls-I forgot to mention.. I had a crazy dream last night.. I had a dream that Derek and I had TWO babies. That I got pregnant again, which isn't in our plans..I can't take BC though because of the blood clotting issues and what not so we only use condoms.. I can't complain, being preggo wasn't that bad.. except for the anticipation of it all.. Even being poked and proded at and being incredibly high risk, my pregnancy was still enjoyable.. OK.. NO MORE KIDS though.. Gosh.. lol... Have a fun weekend!!!

i want some banana ice cream.........

i can never keep up with this group the room get so full so fast. I have not read the posts yet but I will start reading them now. I just want to say congrats to all the new mommies!

jennifer- the baby is great he is eating well but have a bit of gas other wise he is fine. I had to have a c-section because Nelson was breached. He came early because my BP was off the charts.

Hello guys! I am doing good. Still the same as far as I know. I havent had any type of "different" contractions. Yesterday Shon and I went out and spent some time together. Today we are cleaning everything and doing last min packing tonight. I am really nervous about tomorrow. This is the last day of my pregnancy and I have to say I am a little sad. Last night I had a dream that we had had her and she was the most beautiful baby ever. I remember I was looking at her toes and kissing her feet. haha I am still sorta sad today. I mean I wont ever feel her like this ever EVER again after tomorrow. I mean I am glad that she is nearly here and everything and I am ready to hold her. I wonder if the baby blues start before they are even here. haha jk. I think I am just scared of the unknown. anyways... STEPH~ I didnt know that 28 days is the cut off. haha How long did Derek get leave for? Shon is taking as of Tuesday (THey gave him monday as a free day) 30 days. I hope Aaliyah is like Logan and settles into some type of routine before he has to go back. haha Before I got pregnant I had a very ferocious s_xual appet_te haha I hope thta mine returns but as of right now.... I think that river bed is dried up. haha Hopefully I can spring back like you. SHALA~ Just so you know, I have thought the same thing about Aaliyah. She prefers my right side and she is always always on her side. so alot of the time I look lopsided. haha But I was reading somewhere that only like 5% of babies are born breech or transverse breech. At your next appt (if he isnt) he can do a external feel of baby. To this day it feels like sometimes she is all over the place. I hope she comes sooner rather then later too. haha GET TO THE WALKING!! JAIME~ I hope everything is going well and you are adjusting to life with Hayden well! TYNADU~ I am so happy for you!! Even if you had to have a csection your little angel is here and all is well!! Ok guys I am going to go eat breakfast. Ill be back later!!!

WOAH.. I just read how long Shon got. 30 days.. THIRY days? Derek got 2. and he had to BEG for it.. He asked for 5 and got denied... How long has Shon been in the military? Dammit..If I'd known that he could have gotten 30 days if he were prior service, I would have waited, lol...He would still be on leave right now..Ok, I'm going to go pout now..lol Either way, I'm glad Shon got a lot of days with ya, he'll definitely need it! Good luck, doll.

Hi everyone! Jenn~almost there...just think tmrw this time ul b holding aliyah in ur arms...its a totally amazing feeling! I stil cant get over it! U lucky ur dh gets 30days,mine only got 2,luckily i had her on a friday,so wit the weekend her was wit us 4days! I think i got really lucky wit Jehaan...she was born wit a routine! Lol! Sweetest baby ever! She just sleeps mostly,only waking to feed & thats every 3hours 4 abt 20mins at a time...she makes it too easy! Jenice & Shala u guys are next...good luck!

STEPH~ He has been savinghis leave days for this since last year. haha That sucks though! The facility he works for are really cool though. JL the main boss guy there said that because we didnt know what day she would be here, he would start it when she was born. I cant believe they only gave him 2 days off! Did he barely get out of basic or grad tech school? Maybe that is why? I dunno. What BS though. SARAH~ poor you! You have been through so much this entire pregnancy and now in the beginning of motherhood. Are your b___sts feeling better though at least after he drained them? I have heard the baby blues come and go throughout the first month. That and the first month is the hardest because you are still trying to get to know eachother. Just keep in mind that you are doing an excellent job with Kerrick. You did a great job even before he was here. I hope you start feelin better soon though an dI promise I will post her pics as soon as I get home which will be hopefully Wendsay or Thursday of this coming week. RIFQAH~ Lucky you!! haha I am thinking that she will be one of those babies that sleep sporatically during the day and not at all at night. Maybe Ill get lucky but as much as she is awake now I can only imagine. I cant believe your hubby only got 2 days too! What does he do? Dang I cant believe employers are so insensitive!! I know that here in the US, although it doesnt apply to military yet, alot of employers are now offering paternal leave as well as maternal which is nice. I am glad though that Jehann decided the weekend was a good time. haha Ok guys I am off and on doing some last min cleaning and stuff. Il be back later.
