  • TGIF!!  I love fridays for obvious reasons but even more so now b/c that means moving into the next week of this pregnancy is right around the corner....11 weeks here I come! 

    Still feeling like a fat blob but this too shall pass...trying just to focus on the baby and enjoying this special time as much as I can.

     Have a great weekend, Ladies!

  • Morning all!

    Today we have an appointment with our perinatologist to talk about our SUA diagnosis, which we got last Friday (two vessels in the umbilical cord instead of 3). I'm excited for the appointment because I've Googled this to death and have freaked myself out royally, so I want to hear the word from our doctor and get some answers/informed perspective. I don't know how I'm going to get through this work day--luckily it's a half day.

    Send good thoughts our way today if you would; I could really use some peace of mind! :)

    Have a good weekend!

  • TGIF!!! Even though it is rainy and nasty today. My parents are visiting this weekend. I'm very excited, I haven't seen them since I was only 6 weeks pg. They are buying our travel system as well as a few other things so we will do some shopping to get all of that. Plus I think my nursery furniture may be in this weekend.

     

    Lisa- Good luck today. I'm sure everything will be fine.

  • Please change my due date to 12/15! Thanks again for doing this.....

  • I'm here!  Nothing new to report.  Can't wait for the weekend!
  • after 2 "big" ultrasounds I'm elated to report that "everything looks great" as far as development, etc and we are having a ... GIRL!!

    I cried when finding out - mainly because it was like the tech was telling me that it was really ok to finally fall madly in love with baby, that this really IS going to happen... finally after so many of years of wanting this. But I was also very shocked and it took me a couple hours to wrap myself around the fact that he was a she as we were both thinking it was gonig to be a boy.

    SO HAPPY! : )

  • Thanks for taking this on, Shannon!

    You rock!!!

    And we're hanging in there... Aaron's baby nurse left this morning so it's just ME from now on (DH will help on weekends, but his work situation is thus that he may not be so helpful other times).  And Aaron's two week pediatrician appointment is this afternoon at 2. I'm thinking he'll have gained close to 1.5 lb since he was last there?my piggy is taking 3 oz at each feeding (around every 3 hours).

  • I had another OB appt this morning and seeing the specialist this afternoon.  Everything appears to be right on schedule for the induction on the 9th.  This afternoon the peri will go a complete growth scan, probably the final one before I deliver.

    My house is finally beginning to look more normal.  The wood floors are down, and the kid's rooms have furniture in them.  I just need to put up the accessories, window treatments, ect.  Oh and put away the bazillion tools and paint buckets and clean the house.  Then I can relax for a minute!!  The next step is the tile in the bathrooms, laundry room and kitchen, but I think I'll wait another month to start on that project.

  • Shannon - thanks again for taking this over!

    Lisa - good thoughts coming your way!

    KMTFU - congrats on your baby girl!

    Well - last Thursday I had my 1 hour GTT and passed.  I now start going every two weeks instead of monthly.  However, my H&H were low, so they called to day and want me to start taking an iron supplement daily.  Anyone have to do this?  I hear they can make you constipated - and fortunately I haven't had an issue with that during the pregnancy so far.  This weekend we have our meal-assembly session where we assemble and freeze our meals for the next month.  I hope we can afford to continue this after Delaney arrives.  And finally, we're still trying to decide/agree on how to paint the nursery.  I was thinking pink/green, but DH likes yellow (which I do not) - we tested all three together (like stripes) and it looks like Candyland threw up on the wall.  So, we're still working on that.

    Glad it's finally Friday.  Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend!

  • Not too much to report.  I'm in the process of switching OB's.  I'm counting down the days until my first ultrasound (in 2 weeks or less!).  I've been so worried there's something wrong with my peanut.  I can't wait to find out if he/she is okay in there.  My m/s has lessened a bit.  I've got other symptoms full force, but I'm surviving! I'm looking forward to getting to 12 weeks so we can start telling everyone!

  • Good morning.  Can you please add me to the list (cause of work I had to take a break and think I missed the start of this cool post).  Due 9/19 BOY!  Scheduled c/s 9/10.  Thankyou and thanks for keeping this up! 

    Happy weekend to everyone.  Just trying to catch up on everything these final two weeks before the little one arrives!

  • Hello Everyone,

    There is a new Spanish/Mexican take-out place across the street from my work. I tried them out for lunch. I got a veggie burrito w/rice and beans and chips and salsa for $6. Not a bad deal! Yes

    Anyway, I had my step B test yesterday. The dr. said everything looked good and said I was growing a 7.5 pounder. I was glad to hear that since I was an almost 10 pounder and I was a little worried.Huh?

    This weekend I am meeting with my doula to go over my birth plan and try to sort through all gifts from last week's shower.

    Have a great weekend!

  • Happy Friday to all you lovely ladies!  Things are great here Big Smile  Had a great visit with mom and my shower was so much fun. The crib was delivered on Wednesday and looks awesome in the bright purple room!  Our little girl has been kicking up a storm and the 3D ultrasound went very well.  I've been feeling really good and can't believe there are only about 9 weeks left.  DH & I are going to the fair tonight to junk out on midway food & then we start L&D classes tomorrow morning.

    Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!

  • Thanks Shannon.

    Today I'm officially 3/4 done!! 30w and starting to feel like this pregnancy thing is actually happening.

    Planning a picnic for 50 people on Sunday and may still be heading out on our annual 800 mile road trip (1600 actually-round trip) later in the week.

    Someone tell me I'm an idiot.

  • Shannon, thanks!  And Robyn, I'm glad to hear that you're doing well.  I lurk on the parenting over 35 board, and I will send good thoughts to you and your dh regarding your employment situations.  Aaron is so cute :)

    I will be 12 weeks tomorrow and the morning sickness is subsiding.  So I need to get myself back on track with healthy eating.  Lately, I had been eating anything I could stomach, even if that meant it was a steady diet of ramen noodles and mac n cheese. 

    I am still running and feel good.  I have 12 miles on tap for tomorrow.  Our 12 week appt is Tuesday, so hopefully after that, I can spill the beans about our happy news and won't have to keep this secret anymore.  It's been so hard.

    Happy weekend to you all!

  • Glad to hear everyone is doing so well.  I had my 28 wk checkup last week.  Baby is growing on target, bp is excellent, urine test was good.  I was told that unless something changes drastically, I likely will not have any further tests (other than the urine dip at each appt).   The docs scale said I hadn't gained any weight since my 24 wk appt, but I'm pretty sure his scale is wrong (mine said I'm up about 6lbs).  In any case, he didn't say a word about it, so I'm not worried.  Our little man is definitely growing.  Doc said he thought he was head down already....I found this surprising because I do not feel any movement really low or above my belly button...it's always generally in my mid abdomen at the sides, so I thought the LO was transverse.  I go for my next appt at 32 weeks, then every 2 weeks for a month, then weekly.  I am so excited.  10 weeks to go, give or take.  I absolutely can not wait to meet this little man.Smile  He is the light of my world already!

  • Hi! Can you please add me :-) kberlyab (kim) due 3/8/10

    Thank you! And hi everyone! 

  • Hi, all!  Thanks again for doing this, Shannon!

    No big news here.  I'm starting to get the feeling I'm forgetting something.  I think all new moms-to-be must feel that way sometimes.  I don't like waiting to buy a breast pump, but we decided we should wait and make sure I *can* breastfeed before investing.  I think everything else is ready to go.

     Maybe I'll clean this weekend.

  • I'm always the late one to the party! :(  Hope everyone is doing well.  Been crazy with work and getting our house ready to put on the market.  I just want the chaos to end!! :)

     Congrats to eveyone who had their LOs - you all must be so excited.

    Welcome to the newly BFP!!  This is a good group. I mostly lurk and occasionally post!

  • Thanks for coorindating, Shannon.

    I passed my 1hr Glucose test. I am now starting my bi-weekly visits with Peri and OB. Will now get biophysical profiles done at every appointment. B is doing great. I met with a grief counselor to discuss our birth plan for A. I was doing good emotionally up until then. It's more of a reality that I don't want to deal with and, thankfully, don't have to for a while....

  • My how this board has grown!!!! Welcome and congratualtions to all the new ladies.

    I am so glad everyone is doing well. I hope everyone's upcoming appts are good and am very glad everyone is passing their tests.

    Nothing new here. Had my 39 week appt on Wed and I have nothing going on. No dialation, nothing. My growth scan on Tuesday said I was having an 8lb 13 oz Turkey but as my doc says they are not always that accurate. Other then that everyone is doing fine and we are just waiting for the LO's arrival. Now I am starting to think I am going late. LOL. Next appt is Tuesday my due date. Wish me luck!

    I hope everyone has a great weekend and good luck to those due around me.

  • Hi, My real name is Amy  AKA  iluvtom and I had my baby girl on 8/20/09 and her name is Callie Rose..Thanks
  • Hi! Congrats to the new moms and the new BFPs!

    I had my nurse appt this morning to go over my test results from last month's appt. Everything looks great, and my due date is officially March 10. I'm having a c/s, so I won't go any later than March 3, and possibly a bit sooner. Which is fine by me as I am really not enjoying being pregnant this time around!

    Anyway, I see the OB next week and all is well so far. I think we'll start to tell people after that, or possibly a couple of weeks later (depending on when my amnio gets scheduled).

    Have a great weekend, ladies!

  • School started this week. It was just workshops and staff development, but I am exhausted, so I don't quite know how I am going to make it once the kids start.

    I still have not foud anyone I like to refinish my floors, so it may be a while until we can set up furniture, which is too bad, because it is starting to come. My shower isn't until October 4, but my husband's family has already started sending thigs. I just looked at my registry and all the big items are purchased, which is super amazing, but a tiny bit overwhelming, since we have no place to put it right yet..

    Turns out there really is a baby person coming, and it is getting closer and closer.

  • Oops! I missed this check in on Friday! Nothing big to report, my NT scan is Thursday and I pulled out the maternity clothes this weekend (although I don't need them YET) I hate the morning battle of this is too tight, that doesn't fit. So at least I have options!

    Happy Monday to all!
