Re: Randoms and Questions 12.19 - 12.25

  • Sounds like so much to celebrate over the past few days! 
    @Kipperoo -sorry for news for an early induction- continue to remind yourself that you are doing what's best for your little girl and push your doctors in making this as easy as an induction it can be for both of you! 

    Today is my first day of winter break. We don't go back until Jan 3. I am
    behind on Christmas prep and have some serious plans for home organization! Praying I stay motivated to get it down.

  • I work Tuesday and Wednesday and then I'm off until the next Thursday! I'm excited for the break.  Plus we have our AS Thursday so it should be a good week.  I still have a small amount of stocking stuffers to get. I have no idea what to put in DHs stocking. My brains too tired to think of things.

  • I think I might be getting sick. A few people at work have been and my throats been scratchy and now I have a sinus headache. I'm SOL on meds besides Tylenol, huh?

  • I forgot to add congrats on a good scan @chickyclg!! Also @Kipperoo, I'm glad that you have time to adjust to being induced at 36 wks. Praying for no NICU time for you guys! 

    @softsoprano DD is off for two weeks and it's a nightmare! Luckily we have lots of family close by so everyone is pitching in and taking days off.

    @nda_roxybabe ugh getting sick while pregnant is the worst. Cough drops and increased water intake help. And sinus spray when the nostrils get stuffy (if they do).

    Oh and ice cream. Totally a temporary but delicious relief =)


  • @chickyclg I'm very curious as well. I tried the spectra s2 had used my 3rd hand me down pisa to trade but it just didn't feel right and I was soo nervous about pump amount I never tried to keep trying to see if my output would get better
  • That new bp sonata sounds pretty cool. Some website said there's going to be an app coming out that has the same smart technology and will work with all breast pumps. Not sure how that will work but it would be cool. 
  • @nda_roxybabe sorry about your incoming cold!  I'm just recovering and it sucked.  Your OB office might have given you a list of "ok to take" medicines but I pretty much didn't take many (cause I'm a chicken).  I used cough drops, drank lots of fluids, and used some saline nasal spray.  I hope it passes for you quickly! 
  • @rosemarylaff I had my AS today too and had a similar experience. They could see the 4 chambers of the heart but couldn't get a good picture so they're going to look again at what they got and let us know if they want us to come back in 10 days. 

    We we found out we're team PINK which has totally shocked me. We have a 2 yo son and I really thought this was a boy!  It started getting real and DH and I both felt guilty when we came home that DS wasn't going to be the only baby anymore. He's the center of our world and the only grandchild on both sides and it's just going to be an adjustment. 
  • @Kipperoo Sorry you are in that position and that baby will have to come early, but I am thrilled for you that you have such a great team that will help you through the process! Also you are most definitely a rockstar not a failure! 

    @nda_roxybabe Getting sick while pregnant blows! Hope it's quick!

    Congrats (and I kinda hate you) to those ladies that have had their scans already!

  • You ladies are making me excited (and jealous!) for my a/s! I won't be having mine till 22wks since DH will be out of town (boo!)

    We leave tomorrow for two weeks (one week with each family), from CA to northeast. I am not packed at All!! And I'm not sleeping but bumping. No regrets!

    safe travels to everyone who will be :)
  • @nda_roxybabe, being sick and pregnant is the worst. At least you have an excuse to do (and eat) WHATEVER you want! Hoping you feel better soon.

    @Louise_Belcher I'm so glad you got your eye checked out! And I'm glad it will likely clear itself up soon. Hoping you pass your glucose test with flying colors!

  • TEAM PINK! Congrats @Hansolosparka I have to say it was a tad bit difficult not peeking when we were told not to look. But thankfully that feeling passed quickly and now I just have 20 more weeks until we find out. Okay seriously I have GOT to get some work done today.  Wish me luck!! :blush:
  • @rosemarylaff I'm glad it went well! Yes, I could not believe how hard they push down, it almost hurt sometimes!

  • anyone have or had a partial placenta previa? They told me I had this at my anatomy scan this morning. The doctor was pretty short and said they will check it again later in the pregnancy. From what I hear, most peoples placentas end up moving and resolves itself. Naturally I headed straight to google after my appointment.
  • @lrwardrop hope everything turns out ok for you and baby!

    However, I didn't think the placenta could move once it was in place?

  • @lrwardrop with older daughter I had a low lying placenta (although they didn't use the word previa, so maybe not as low as yours.) They rechecked again in the third tri, and it had moved up. I think technically the placenta itself doesn't move in its placement on the uterus. Instead as the uterus stretches, it brings the placenta up and corrects the possible previa. I think worst case scenario if the placenta doesn't move up on its own would just be the need for a c section. 
  • @lrwardrop at my NT scan they said I may have placenta previa. My OB is not worried and said that the placenta is in a good position right now. They will check again at my anatomy scan. 
  • Random- my neighbor is apparently doing tree work today, and decided to wait until nap time to pull out the super loud tools. Sigh. I know that he has no clue that it's naptime, but it stinks because I know I'll have a long afternoon with cranky kiddos.  :(

    That's the worst @Squirtgun. Yesterday during nap time, the girls (aka our dogs), decided to have a barking party. I kept checking the monitor but luckily S slept right through it. Surprised the hell out of me because with the start of this leap a week or two ago, he's been scared of their barking?? I guess I could've went outside and handled them, but it was waaaay too cold and I was on the couch catching up on Top Chef!  ;)

  • @Jkp7749 Me, too! I hope the energy lasts. It's so nice to get stuff done, considering I did nothing in the first tri. 

    I was talking to my MIL yesterday, and she commented on how excited she was to not know the sex of the baby. I was so happy to hear her say that! Hubbs and I know, but we're keeping it a surprise for everyone else, and I'm glad to hear it's a good decision. 
  • Random: bad cold and I'm 17 weeks. I'm a bit granola and trying to do everything all natural. Finally had to take Tylenol last night after a fever all day, and I was bummed (but toss up between fever going on too long and taking medicine.) I'm still battling the cold but no fever today. :(
  • I, too, am nesting/energetic.  I've been harnessing my energy into Christmas prep.  All my family and Santa presents are purchased and wrapped, my house is (mostly) clean, and I'm finally starting baking tonight. I hope this continues in to January because I still have a nursery to clean out/paint/decorate and a headboard to refinish for DD so I can kick her out of the crib.

  • @RainyDays86 I am so sorry you are going through this, especially right now. Cancer is incredibly scary and even more so for those who have lost loved ones. I'll be thinking about you and hoping this turns out to be nothing more than just pregnancy impacting it!
  • @RainyDays86 - I am so sorry you're going through something so stressful, especially now. It's great that you and your doctors are on top of this. Hopefully it turns out to be nothing serious.

  • @RainyDays86 what a scary time. I'm glad you're getting it checked out and that your doc is taking your concerns seriously. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts/prayers. I will add that one of the biggest things we learn about cancer in school is to be afraid of painLESS lumps because they are more often malignant than a painful one. So my hope is that you fall into this stereotype! Typically painful lumps are more irritation/inflammation/infection than anything else. I wonder if your fibrocystic tissue makes you more prone to things like clogged ducts, etc. would be early but since you're a STM (right?) things may be happening earlier this time around. I have to say this is an area I'm ignorant about. 
  • @RainyDays86 I'm so sorry you are going through this and happy that it is being addressed by your doctor. Feel free to vent and please keep us updated. You are in my thoughts.

    I had it with DS (he was Baby A) I'm sure it resolved because the Doctors stopped mentioning it, and until his heart rate dropped the OB was talking about doing a vaginal delivery.  It did give me these really bad spotting issues (made worse by blood thinners) so keep spotting in mind.
