Thoughts and well wishes goes to:

magdalina.h, had her baby boy Aiden on Monday 2/1/10 at 28 weeks and 4 days. He is a fighter in NICU.

Sejabernathy, in the hospital with contractions and 1cm dialated here is her post on the board https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/30357878/ShowThread.aspx#30357878

UPDATE: She came off of the meds over the weekend and is moving out of L&D and into anti-partum room for observation. Doctor says they have a few more weeks! She and babies are doing really well but will probably be in the hospital for the rest of her pregnancy. Babies are measuring 4lbs 3oz as of 30 weeks!

lindseystenlund, on modified bed rest due to low amniotic fluids, going in once a week for NST (non stress test).

Jessys_Girl, has been put on modified bed rest due to a short cervix and its contracting. She is taking steroids to increase the LO?s lungs and has to check her sugar 4 times a day due to this. LO needs to cook a little more, she asks for T&P please!

Kelcat, going to a high risk specialist due to elevated BP and her cervix has shortened 3/10 of a centimeter to 2.3cm. She may be put on bed rest because of it. UPDATE: cervix is now 3cm and she?s off bed rest CONGRATS! 2^nd UPDATE: her BP is still very screwy and is going for biophysical scans every week now and will most likely go on bedrest before the end of her pregnancy. Waiting to hear back if this is just PIH and not Pre-e

StrawberryAlarmClock, on modified bed rest due to high BP

Aa+C, has found out she has a uterine fibroid and has another u/s Feb. 10th to see if it's interfering with babies growth and to determine if it's covering her cervix creating a need for a c-section. They are really hoping for a natural delivery so they?re hoping this isn't the case! Keep us updated! GL!

Mrs. R. W., hospitalized bed rest for the duration of her pregnancy due to leaking amniotic fluid. She asks for T & P please! Keep us updated hun!

my1andonly, she is currently in the hospital on bedrest 8cm dilated, please keep her in your thoughts and prayers she needs to last until December 15, 2009 to get to 24 weeks

UPDATE: my1andonly said goodbye to her beautiful son 13 hours after delivery on 12/17/09. Our hearts go out to her and her family.

CharlotteBelle, she lost her son on 11/20/09

carolinah, she found out she is a carrier for a genetic disorder that effects the liver and ability for the LO to break down protein. Good luck over the next couple of weeks/months until you find out if you?re LO has this disorder. Good Luck at the u/s this week! UPDATE: She is having a girl and the chance goes down to 25% and it?s much more manageable with a female rather than a male! CONGRATS GUYS!

Jen N El, her little boy has two heart defects that need to be watched over the next few months. Please T&P that he will not need immediate open heart surgery! Next appt is Nov 30^th and amino results right around then or right after due to the holidays. Amino results came back good and all testing has been normal! They go in for another u/s today (12/16) and hoping for good news! Good luck and congrats so far guys! UPDATE: echo u/s came back with good results and the doctor is happy the baby is measuring 1-2 weeks ahead of schedule! Next u/s is 1/13. Congrats and rest up over the holidays guys!

MNdesigner, she lost her twin boys due to pre-e our thoughts and prayers go out to her and her DH.

annierific · February 2010

Good Morning!

I am at work- so cant post pics! we should get some more next week at our growth scan.

This weekend it is supoosed to snow. I was scheduled to take a civil service test and would like to get it over with- so i really hope it doesnt get cancelled.

Sunday for the Super Bowl i hope my husband and i will just stay in so i can take a little nap!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

kwhitson · February 2010

most recent bump pic in siggy @ exactly 30 weeks.

We're getting ready for the big snow storm here in MD - could be a cabin fever filled weekend!!!

stacynikki · February 2010

No belly pic but we have a busy weekend! I'm getting my hair highlighted and cut pretty short! Then DH and I are going out with friends for my birthday. The rest of the weekend is finishing the nursery and washing baby clothes! I think we'll finally be ready for little Owen!

Mrslisvenn · February 2010

only T W O months until my EDD!!

dont know how to post pictures so am unable to show my bump

no plans at all this weekend - i plan to sleep and sleep.. it has been a long week at work with late nights everyday to the point when i arrive home feeling physically and mentally exhausted!

missyjg · February 2010

No pics, but weekend is going to be full of getting the nursery ready!! yeah... I'm so excited b/c it's been a long process since the room was gutted and DH unexpectedly had to leave for a training mission for a few months so there it sat. But my wonderful family stepped up and it's done (structurally anyway) Pays to have 6 older brothers I guess!! Now shopping this weekend with my SIL's to decorate. Furniture is going to be delivered this morning.

Other than that I plan to sleep and get over this nasty nasty cold I've been fighting for a week. Ick.

Happy Friday Ladies!!

rachelbeth85 · February 2010

No recent pic. This weekend I get to see my bestie!

shortone26 · February 2010

QOTD: Do you have a current photo of your bump to show? Post if you do! Anything exciting going on this weekend?

Answer: I don't have a recent picture of my bump. That reminds me, I need to take some.

I plan on a nice exciting weekend of lounging around. I worked all last weekend.

Cakemom10 · February 2010

HI everyone.... I dont check in often because im never around on friday mornings. Today I have off to get ready for my shower tomorrow. I am crazy and making the cake/cupcakes because im a baker and I wont eat anyone elses : ) So I have to finish those up and relax : )

I really need to get my bump pics off the camera. We take them weekly but they just live on the camera.

Had my 31/32 week visit this week and LO looks great. I cant believe its almost time!!!!

kmuir44 · February 2010

Hi all. Can't believe how fast April is approaching. No recent pics....but I feel HUGE!!

This weekend we will be spent remembering our daughter Samantha. Sunday would have been her 1st Birthday. She was born at 30 weeks and only lived for 5 days. Missing my beautiful angel.

vixen3031 · February 2010

nothing exciting this weekend because of the snow but will still watch the superbowl with my family.

amynicoletta · February 2010

I don't have a current pic right now - tomorrow I finally reach the 30's!!!!!

We are painting our guest bath and just relaxing this weekend.

Jennicap · February 2010

My weekends are pretty busy now that school is back in session. I have class from 8-11 then yoga until 12:30 and then I can relax. I'm working this Sunday (last sunday for a while) so it'll be a nice change of pace when I don't have to work on the sunday!

Jessys_Girl · February 2010

Well, I've now been diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes on top of everything else (short cervix, modified bedrest). I'm bummin' a little because now I have to take insulin twice a day. But whatever I need to do to keep LO healthy and inside for a while.

As far as my weekend plans: Not much because of restrictions, but my stepkids will be here this weekend for thier visit, so taht should be fun.

Bump Pic:

Anna&Rich · February 2010

Good morning!!!

QOTD: Do you have a current photo of your bump to show? Post if you do! Anything exciting going on this weekend?

Weekend plans include working tonight through Sunday, hanging w/a couple friends tomorrow, fights tomorrow night, and just getting anything I can done since I was away for a week. I did take some bare belly pics last week at 28 weeks, but they came out really bad, so I'm gonna share this one I took this morning at 29w2d.

Llamakeeper3 · February 2010

No pics here. I have been avoiding the camera like the plague. I guess I should get a couple before my son gets here, but I just feel huge right now and not in a picture friendly place.

This weekend is going to be low key. I am exhausted and need to catch up on my sleep. I really don't know how I am going to get through the next 7 weeks at work.

My midwife appt on Wednesday went really well, but my midwife told my that my son's head is already engaged. That scared me a little because I thought that meant I would go in to early labour. After doing some reading online, I now realize that that is not necessarily the case, so I feel much better about that.

Happy weekend ladies.

DASHSKIDADDLE · February 2010

My most recent bump pics:

https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/30780115.aspx

They are also in my baby blog in siggy!

felecia_hope · February 2010

TGIF Due Drops!!

QOTD: Well I'm excited because my sorority sisters are throwing me a shower tomorrow afternoon. I expected it would be small, maybe like 10 or so of us, but it has taken on a life of itself. So far 40 people have RSVP'd! It is such a blessing to be so loved and for so many people to want to celebrate our joy!

Also, we captured some really amazing 3D/4D images of our little girl yesterday. She is such a doll! I'll load those and shower pics next week. Stay tuned!

sejabernathy · February 2010

QOTD: new pics yes but i don't have my camera cord here at the hospital. as far as this weekend, of course i have big plans! nope, although DH has the whole weekend off and will be staying with me! i have not seen him since Sunday :-( DS is going to stay at a friends house for the first time...i wish i could be there but i know he will have a blast!

UPDATE: checked again and still hanging on to that 1cm! OB is discussing going home late next week...waiting until i hit the 32 week mark. babies are doing great! last check, 4lbs even and 3lbs 10oz. i probably won't get another u/s until thursday. still contracting and some back pain but obviously not enough to do much. i have been granted a wheel chair walk daily (30 mins) b/c we have been stable for so long! i am soooo looking forward to it b/c i have not seen the outside of this room since i came over from L&D on Sat. After talking to OB, our ultimate goal is 34 weeks! if i make it that far, i can opt to go back to original OB (who also delivered DS) b/c i most likely will not have the need to be at the hospital with the NICU.

Tired of being here but doing WHATEVER it takes to keep our Peanuts baking as long as they need to! my DS spent 6 1/2 weeks in the NICU and I so badly want to know what it is like to bring our LO's home from the hospital with us.

Thanks ladies for keeping my family in your thoughts and prayers!

lildevil968 · February 2010

Good Morning ladies!

QOTD: Do you have a current photo of your bump to show? Post if you do! Anything exciting going on this weekend?

Unfortunately the one pic I have here at work cannot be posted online because of some stuff in the backround, and I don't have many pics at home. We have not been doing the weekly, or monthly pics with this PG like we did with DD.

Our only plans for the weekend are we are having DD's birthday party on Saturday, we are celebrating her birthday Sunday afternoon with Family, and then heading to a super bowl party after that. We might try and squeeze in straightening up the nursery. I have been just buying things, and throwing them in there instead of putting them where I think they belong....shame on me!

danto · February 2010

TGIF! I love all the bump picts and updates!

This is my 29 week

Duke01 · February 2010

No bump pictures. I plan on cleaning my house this weekend and getting the laundry done. Sunday is the superbowl so I guess I will be watching that with my DH and friends.

Hope everyone is doing well.

lindseystenlund · February 2010

Well my exciting plans for the weekend are... to stay on the modified bed rest that my dr. put me on. Fun. Hopefully there will at least be some good snacks around on Sunday for the Superbowl!

Aa+C · February 2010

no current pice b/c I have no idea how to get them on here!

but this weekend should be great!! My shower is Saturday!! then the superbowl Sunday then on Monday we're getting new windows installed to replace our 103 year old ones!!!!! so we have to move things out of the apartment and put tarps over everything b/c there is a risk of lead dust since the originals are so old....

Busy Busy!!

and we have an U/S Wednesday to figure out what these fibroids are doing

Rasz39 · February 2010

QOTD: Do you have a current photo of your bump to show? Post if you do! Anything exciting going on this weekend?

here's me at 28 weeks.

I'm due to take a new one on Sunday. I'm not sure what happened to February, but I don't have a free weekend this month at all. This weekend I've got rehearsal & a super bowl party. Next weekend is tech. The 20/21st is our L&D class and then the 28th is our shower. And all I want is a nap

MommieAdams · February 2010

Hello,

Here are some updates! My due date was scheduled for 4/22, but can you add that I have a scheduled c-section for 4/16 and I am on team blue.

Also, I don't have any updated pics, but I need to take some. I have no plans this weekend because I am starting to feel the third trimester exhaustion. I am excited and ready to meet my busy little one!

ptran6 · February 2010

QOTD: TGIF!!! My sister-in-law is getting married tomorrow, so we have the dress rehearsal and decorating tonight and then all the wedding craziness tomorrow. Should be lots of fun but exhausting!

FemmeNat01 · February 2010

I am trying to work and do homework right now. I have a midterm on Wed and I am SO busy. I have a video conference at 4 so I have to do some work and get ready for it. I hate video conferences because I cant even zone out because everyone can see me! I am trying to do sociology right now! I had to go into the office this morning at 10.

Tomorrow is my sister's birthday plus I have to work in the morning. We are going to the club tomorrow night. Fun. Not!

Sunday is superbowl weekend! We're (and by we, I really mean ME) having a party at our house with food and TV. I cant wait. BUT, I have work to do so I am going to multitask!

It's a busy weekend!

Hope324 · February 2010

Happy Friday Due Drops!

QOTD: Do you have a current photo of your bump to show? Post if you do! Anything exciting going on this weekend?

Haven't taken any bump photos yet (I'm camera shy :u). Maybe I'll take a couple in the coming weeks, just to have to share with the twins when they are older.

This weekend is my first shower. It's with a group of lifelong (30+ yrs) friends so it should be lots of fun!! Sunday, I think I'll paint the last piece of furniture (a cabinet) for the nursery. Then the room will be completely finished!

update: We've found out that Twin B (girl) has a heart defect (av canal defect). She will most likely need open heart surgery to repair it when she is about 6 months old. It also carries with it a high probability that she has Down Syndrome. We have another echocardiogram set for March 2nd to check the size of the hole in her heart. We are hoping that it will be small since that could delay the need for surgery and lessen the chance of Down's. Growth is good for both babies...at last u/s, twin B measured 1 wk ahead and twin B measured 3 wks ahead. I can't believe that they will be here in only 4-6 wks!! Time is flying by now! :u)
