How are YOU doing? Pretty good, just getting used to bedrest....It is difficult to not get up and do stuff....Just uncomfortable and I feel ya on the out of breath, I can't walk up stairs without panting....

Appointments? Tomorrow, We are every two weeks.

milestones? uhm, none just making it through third tri!!

Worries/concerns? Just the normal ones, I am worried I will go into labor and not know it.....

Anything else? Nope it has been a slow week so far...

Glad you are doing well Jen and hope all the other Jan mama's are too!! I was just looking for Liam updates on the preemie board but didn't see anything..Has anyone heard??

Eris-Alexis · December 2011

Hey Jen! I'm sorry you are having a rough time breathing, but I'm so glad little girl is doing well. GL at your next appointment.

I'm doing okay...getting really tired of laying down all the time. My hips are getting really sore and it's difficult to sleep, but whenever I sit up for more than a few minutes the contractions start up again. I've decided that I am really not cut out for bed rest, but obviously I will do whatever I need to to make sure Connor is healthy. He's been moving like a champ, which is a huge relief. I'm still pretty concerned about the decels he had while we were in the ER and the tachycardia I was having. We have a lot of people trying to figure out holiday plans around whether or not I will go into labor around Christmas. Obviously I don't have the answer to that and wish I did.

I have my OB follow up today, so I will post a separate update once I have more info. I hope everyone's doing well.

rosenb2b · December 2011

Hello lovely ladies!

Appointments? Had an appt Monday for growth u/s, etc. Next is in two weeks.

milestones? LO is in the 50% for growth and we got to see him in 4D. He's so freakin cute (and yes, maybe I'm a little prejudiced )

Worries/concerns? If he doesn't move as much from day to day I start to freak out and I've been a little crampy on and off lately.

Anything else? I should get my c/s date soon. I have a ridiculous list of stuff to do for holidays and to get ready for baby and I am too tired to be motivated to do anything!

Hope everyone is doing well and hanging in there! We are so close!

mamacrunch · December 2011

Hi everyone. How are you?

How are YOU doing? I am surprisingly good. H has done a excellent job at keeping me occupied. He had a shard removed from his finger this morning and I got to watch.

Appointments? I go Monday for a follow up NST because of Austin not doing so great at the one Monday. They said if he does like he did again I have to go for some test at the hospital.

milestones? Nursery is 90% done.

Worries/concerns? PgAL worry that I will loss this baby today because I lost my twins a year ago today.

Anything else? Got more crafts from Wal-Mart today so I am going to get back to work. And stay busy.I hope everybody has a great day.

amu1234 · December 2011

Hi Ladies Jen- glad to hear that you're doing well. Totally feel ya on the breathing thing, it's getting a little more difficult for me also.

How are YOU doing? I'm doing pretty great! I'm still in shock that I'll be giving birth NEXT month- where did the time go?!?!?

Appointments? Not until Monday the 19th

milestones? Everyday continues to be one for me. Although now actually getting out of bed and going to work is becoming one for me.

Worries/concerns? My continued worries about everything.

Anything else? Just so happy to be pregnant and so close to meeting my little princess.

Fififa21 · December 2011

How are YOU doing? Pretty good, moving around and breathing like normal are becoming more difficult, but other than that I?m feeling good, just tired

Appointments? Just had my 34 week appointment yesterday, Lucas is still looking great! He?s still in the head down position and now weighs 5.3 pounds!

milestones? Just making it this far! I?m so thankful for each and every day of this pregnancy! Also, I have my second baby shower this Sunday :-)

Worries/concerns? It?s pretty dumb, but I get worried about my weight sometimes. Aside from that, finances, going into labor early, cord accidents, etc.

gerberva11837 · December 2011

Hi - sorry I've been so busy I think I totally forgot to update last week!

How are YOU doing? Doing well, although I'm moving so much slower these days, and I've almost given up on tying my shoes myself. Although I still have a little under 7 weeks to go I'm ready for this baby to make it's appearance.

Appointments? December 22nd at a little over 35 weks, then it's every week from there on out. My younger sister will be in town for Christmas then and I'm going to surprise her by bringing her with me and my doc has already ok'd an impromptu u/s, so she'll get to see her little niece/nephew Smile Figured that might be a nice surprise for her.

milestones? Every day for the LO. Also, we got daycare situated so that's a huge weight off my shoulders. Man is it expensive though!!!! Once we've used it for a few months we're going to re-evaluate it to see if it's making sense financially for me to work. So we'll see how that goes.

Worries/concerns? I've started with the concern about the health of the baby. We opted not to get any prescreening tests done and although every u/s has shown a healthy baby I'm still starting to get scared with all the "what if" situations. It doesn't help that my husband's uncle has downs so seeing him regularily brings up that fear in me again and again. I know in the end I can just pray for a healthy baby.

MissAutumn · December 2011

How are YOU doing? Im doing good. Trying to get everything done before baby comes with work and life. My 2nd baby shower is this weekend and my best friend who is throwing it at my house just had a hysterectomy last week (she found out that she had cervical cancer after we sent out the invites) so we changed the date a week back so she could come. Im just really taking over on it because I dont want her to get stressed out about it. So im planning my own shower

DH family is coming in for the shower and staying with us so I also have to get ready for that.

Work is freaking CRAZY. It always is at the end of the year. Im also shopping for new insurance since our office insurance went up 17% which also means that the money that we saved to pay the ded is probally going to be different and much much more. ugh.

Appointments? My next appointment and last u/s is Friday!!!!

milestones? Everyday

Worries/concerns? Normal stuff, Ill really believe it when I see it.

Anything else? Im stressed out.

sessa717 · December 2011

How are YOU doing? I'm doing pretty well, although sleep is becoming a challenge. I have to pee every hour or more and sleeping on my side is just not comfortable. last night I had the boppy between my knees and ankles and that seemed to help a bit, maybe only got up 3-4 times.

Appointments? Monday!

milestones? 33 weeks tomorrow.

Worries/concerns? Typical late pregnancy worries.

Anything else? Started our birthing classes last night, I really like our teacher and she is making the labor and delivery so much less daunting. I'm finally excited about it instead of just scared.

mundayem · December 2011

How are YOU doing? I'm not doign so hot these days. I'm uncomfortable pretty much all the time now. Working is getting to be a bit of a challenge but fortunately I only have 10 more working days until I go on leave.

Appointments? Every Monday from here on out.

Milestones? 36 weeks for me tomorrow.

Worries/concerns? I'm starting to think I'm not going to make it to January or if I do I'm going to be seriously miserable getting there.

Anything else? We've got everything done. Nursery is ready, carseat in car, and all his stuff is washed and ready to go. The only thing I have left to do is pack a bag for the hospital.

Muffinhb · December 2011

How are YOU doing? Im doing ok. Hanging in there! My hip pain is getting worse everyday.

Appointments? Dec 13th also have the GBS test that day.

Milestones? 34 weeks!!

Worries/concerns? That I wont be ready for her!

Anything else? Got the car seats inspected last night. Her room is done except for a window covering which I cant find anything I like.

taurus424 · December 2011

How are YOU doing? i am getting crazy nervous....so much worrying..its hard to believe that soon enough my baby belly will be gone...so sad....but so exciting.

Appointments? going every week now. Just had the 36 week appt. and had the GBS swab which wasnt bad at all. The dr said i am measuring great, head is down, and now anytime is fair game. she said that since i am going to vbac that i should labor at home because once i come into the hospital then it will be a cascade of interventions and if i do not want that then she suggests i labor at home for a while! That is just what i wanted to hear.....thank God i switched doctors at 20ish weeks!

milestones? well i hit the 30lb weight gain mark. i was hoping to stop at 25lbs...and here i am four weeks to go and probably some more weight to gain...oh well...it is what it is!

Worries/concerns? everything!

Anything else? good luck to all the january ladies out there!

I know we have had a few mommas deliver so if you are reading please update us

May524--congrats!!!!

Doingitright- congrats!!!!

BritanyV -- congrats!!!!!

MrsMitty08 · December 2011

How are YOU doing? I'm doing pretty good, all things considered Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of our appointment where we found out there was no heartbeat. It was a really strange feeling and I had bad dreams the night before...but here I am today, 33w3d pregnant and my biggest concern (today) is that we really need to buy a car seat!!

My girlfriends threw a shower for me last weekend and it was really awesome. Great food, adult conversation (most of us are teachers) and tons of fantastic gifts

Appointments? My next appointment is Monday--I'm going every 2 weeks now and think I switch to every week right after Christmas.

Milestones? Just what I explained above...

Worries/concerns? I'm worried about a whole bunch of things...but we are taking some classes during the next couple of weeks that I think will help alleviate my worries.

Anything else? This shiz is getting real.

Oatoa · December 2011

How are YOU doing? I'm doing okay although my hips and knees are killing me.

Appointments? Monday morning. Then weekly.

Milestones? Tomorrow I am 35/35! I'm pretty stoked!

Worries/concerns? My night terrors are getting worse every day and they change all the time. Its really off setting.

Anything else? I am officially done work until after the baby is born! I had PTO I have to use before the end of the year and I had been saving it just in case I needed it. Now I have to focus on actually preparing for her arrival.

Glad to hear everyone is doing so well and that we're all hanging in there. Hugs to everyone on bedrest.

ellebelle2384 · December 2011

How are you doing? I'm starting to feel very uncomfortable. She's noticeably dropped over the past week and I can feel it in my hip joints. Work is tough but I'm getting through it with only 3 more weeks left.

Appointments? Every Monday from now on.

Milestones? I hit 35/35 this week, so next up is full-term.

Worries/concerns? Same as some of the other girls here. I'm not sure I'm going to make it to January, but if I do I'm worried that I am going to be very uncomfortable.

Anything else? Just trying to rush through the remaining Christmas shopping (Amazon is my best friend) and finish cleaning up the nursery.
