Pie. I want pie.

I realized I picked the wrong picture to post of my shower! You all want to see the cake, of course! The big cake is chocolate with mint cookies and cream filling for the top layer, and vanilla with strawberry filling for the bottom layer. The owls and little trees on the big cake are milk chocolate. The cupcakes are a variety of fruity flavors - lemon, orange, cherry, and fruit punch.

@Sisimama10 Ok, well keeping my fingers crossed SisiBaby isn't quite ready to come our yet. Either way I know your baby will be awesome and you'll be the best mom vet ready or not! You already are! Deep breaths, try not to stress, and know we're all here for you. So much love and hope and prayers your way!

Thank you to everyone for the T&P's. So bored and can't sleep in here so all your positive messages have really cheered me up.

I'm praying for you an your baby @Sisimama10!!! Such big hugs to you! We're they able to stop the labor, or are you having the baby? Take care of yourself my dear, we're all rooting for you!

Not really sure at this point. They were able to slow down the contractions tonight. I meet with the MFM doctors in the morning and will have an ultrasound. Everything is up in the air. But I'm not dilated and my water hasn't broken so that is a good sign. The cramping, frequent contractions and pressure and positive FFN test are not so great. So, just waiting to find out more tomorrow.

Happy to hear some positive news, Sisi. I'll be thinking about you and keeping you in my prayers. Thanks for all the updates.

AHHHHHHHH!!!! RTT I can't even. I CAN'T EVEN!!! I'd use all the colors and emoticons right now if She Who Shall Not Be Named didn't have a corner market on their use!!!

So I'm sure none of you remember because it was a million years ago, but when I was super new to the board I posted asking for feedback on a letter I wrote to a friend of mine telling her I was pregnant. She and her husband have been trying for a baby for over six years, and I'd wanted to be as sensitive as possible to them when announcing my upcoming baby. 

Well, they announced today that they're expecting twins. TWINS!!!! Total little miracle babies too; to call them a long shot would be generous. I just burst out crying when I heard and couldn't even talk to her to say congratulations. We've been praying for them for so long, and they've wanted a baby for soooo long, and this was their last try before turning to adoption. SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!

And I know I've mentioned that my bff is expecting three months after me, and they're due at about the same time if the twins come early, as twins are wont to do. Selfishly, I'm ridiculously excited that our kids are going to grow up together in church and have so many built in friends the same age. We are having ALL THE BEHBEHS!!! Praise God, for He is good!!!!

I AM FEELING ALL THE FEELS!!! 

THANKS FOR PUTTING UP WITH MY SHOUTING!!!!!!

Started contracting again. They're trying to decide whether to give me another shot of terbutaline or start magnesium sulfate-which I've heard is awful. :-/ they gave me a sleeping pill a couple hours ago that obviously isn't working yet. On the bright side I'm missing a horribly boring 6 hour meeting at work tomorrow and get to lay here watching tv and having food brought to me all day. SO is off work and bring DD up here to keep me company for the day as soon as they get up and ready. Looking forward to those small things at least.

Glad you're finding the bright side, Sunshine. Keep being positive and we'll keep praying your little baby keeps on keeping on. 

Sisimama10

Thanks for the support it means a lot.

@biggerinreallife! !!!!!! I do remember that post from long ago! That is amazing, magical, wonderful, fantastic news! I am so so so happy for them! How much fun will it be for your babe to have so many friends from such an early time. I couldn't be more excited for them.

As hard as it may seem, try and get some rest. Best thing for you! Glad to see you are staying somewhat positive. Just try to turn your brain off and get some rest! Praying for good news tomorrow!

@sisimama10, you're simply incredible. I love your great attitude and spirit. I hope that babe can bake a while longer but it sounds like you are in great hands.

I remember your letter and how you painstakingly wrote it with your heart. I know you worried about them and their feelings. I'm so happy to hear that they will have their turn for some baby joy!

@mamamonzo (((Hugs!))) Pregnancy and parenthood are such intense personal journeys that it's hard not to wonder, doubt, and second-guess everything, especially when things don't go the way we plan. You never know what is in store for you, but no matter what happens in the future you still have this pregnancy and this baby. You might miss having an inside baby a little, but you will love having an outside baby a lot more; I promise you that much. I do hope that whatever path you take and wherever you end up makes you happy!

Perks of having a pregnant friend (6w behind me) who lives a few minutes away: 10pm pie runs. Her DH was at work and mine was hanging out with friends.
Everyone wins.

And I bought a whole pie instead of one slice. It was way more economical that way. Duh.

Went into preterm labor tonight at 31 weeks. Got to the hospital with contractions two mins apart. Fetal fibronectin was positive. Plus bleeding. They're keeping me at least until tomorrow night. I'm crazy emotional right now. Totally expected them to send me home. Since I've already been here twice for contractions I thought they would give me the terbutaline and send me home like last time. I didn't even bring my hospital bag! I'm missing my little bear so much right now. :-(

Thinking of you tonight, stay in there a little while longer little one!!

JessieAlbin

Ouch, hips.

Sending mega good thoughts @Sisimama10!!!

@Sisimama10 many T&Ps!!

Ok so tonight my H told me he had a bad dream about the delivery. He said I ended up dying 3 days after I delivered our son. He said I had a c-section and then died from something not related to the surgery. I am seriously worried now. I know it is just a dream.....but still! Now I am really hoping for my VBAC. Would you guys be worried if your H told you this?

He should of kept his mouth shut!

Medic99

What freaks me out the most is I have had a feeling like I won't survive another c-section. That is why I am terrified even more now.

Medic99

I agree @P&B715. If I wasn't already scared out of my mind for another c-section, it probably would not have been such a big deal. I know it is still just a dream but dang!

Stressed. Luckily, I'm going to swimming class in a few minutes.

((Hugs)) for you, too, @mamamonzo. I cried the night before I was induced with DS because I was sad I'd never feel his kicks again. DH told me I was insane - but even though there were much better things to come, it was still a little sad to end the emotional, intense experience that pregnancy is. I thought I was so uncomfortable and done and ready for it to be over, but it was totally surreal when I realized it was going to be over the very next day. Once I had my little guy on the outside, though, I stopped being sad and nostalgic. It was nothing but joy and excitement - and exhaustion. Kids are so awesome; you won't want the inside kicks back when there are outside hugs! And maybe I didn't miss an inside baby because my husband made sure to help DS figure out how to kick mommy from the outside right away. DH held him up so he could kick mommy everywhere, not just the belly. He said that was their way of bonding and he was supporting his son's interests - and it would be selfish of me not to cooperate with being kicked in the head by a newborn.

Knowing this is our last one, it's definitely bitter sweet. I just want her here healthy and happy and for this pregnancy to be over, but I'm really emotional over never going through this again. Even on the sucky days.

Lindsay808

@sisimama10 oh no, I'm so sorry you're going through this. Stay positive!! T&P that little man will keep on cooking!!

rockstarlaw

@mamamonzo - I can totally relate to what you are feeling right now. Definitely emotional about this pregnancy coming to a close....and scared I won't be able to get pregnant again. Just trying to focus on the excitement of meeting my little guy and the fun we will have once he gets here. Hugs to you!

Megczapla

@sisimama10 I hope that all goes well today with MFM! Sounds like you and LO are in great hands and maybe have dd come hang with you will take your mind off things a bit so you can relax. Thinking of you and your family and praying that LO stays tucked in for a few more weeks!

Sisimama10

Update: Contractions haven't stopped with the terbutaline, so now we are starting the magnesium sulfate. They said be prepared to feel horrible. :-( as long as it works I guess.

Sisimama10

Thanks guys. It helps me to come on here and vent and see so much hope and love from all of you.
