Agreed with @chaysefaith‌

coleybug13 · January 2015

100% yes for the hour of silence

Tazminian · January 2015

Yes to the moment of silence @chaysefaith. I think an announcement would be a good idea.

mommyofkaylin · January 2015

@chaysefaith, yes. That's a great idea.

I've noticed this board seems to be pretty busy around noon to one CST. Is that too soon to do it? Should we make a special thread announcing the time?

I'm slow, what time would that be EST? Like 2 pm? And yes I think a separate thread would be good, for whoever hasn't checked the random. Maybe give it a day as well so everyone who's working or whatever can have time to see it?

It's very saddening to see what is happening with SuzyQ0525 today, and we have the same due date. With my current scare, it does make me treasure each moment and kick more. I'm glad the cramps have stopped, and on Friday my doctor will determine if she wants me to go on permanent bedrest.

Hugs to everyone today, and my heart really goes out to @SuzyQ0525. Remember to treasure each moment ladies.

aylaroman15 · January 2015

My heart and spirit is truly broken. I can't stop crying and SuzyQ0525 is in my thoughts every second. My prayers haven't stopped since I heard the news because I really like to hope they are sending Suzy and her family a sense of comfort. I wish there was more I could do but I will continue to pray my heart out for you Suzy. I don't think I can handle the internet at all today.

jack12trip · January 2015

@chaysefaith‌ Completely in favor of a moment of silence, thank you for suggesting. Heartbroken for her and not even sure what words to use to express my condolences.

CoozieInMyPurse · January 2015

One happy thing to note today. One of my good friends from college who now lives in Florida is today marrying the woman we all considered her wife anyway. I'm over the moon for both ladies. Way to go, marriage equality!

JenLa21 · January 2015

I hopped on the computer to make another attempt at changing my siggy for SuzyQ (i have not been able to add a siggy-ticker or pic for some reason) and I saw that I had 28 notifications!!! sorry ladies, I think I had gotten back to most who mentioned me, but I hope no one thought I was ignoring them.

on a positive note, for the first time, i actually figured out how to add my siggy! It made me so happy to add the candle for SuzyQ.

I havent read specifically to the baby inside, but we are always reading and singing here. My H talks to the baby all the time, mostly when we're laying in bed, but I only really talk to the baby when I want it to kick or move.

I unpacked some of my son's baby clothes last night to get ready to wash for the new baby, and some of them still smelled like Dreft! I love that smell so much, but we had to stop using it since DS's skin is so sensitive. Looking at how tiny the clothe are, I cant believe my boy ever fit in them, or that someone else will be wearing them soon!

Lovebeingamomny · January 2015

So heartbroken for Suzy. Hugs, prayers, thoughts to her and her family.

ruemorgan · January 2015

Reading the list of lost babies in the sticky made me so sad. Then seeing "january" at the end just fucking killed me. Idk, it just made it suddenly so much more real and really made me understand what is in front of us all. I really hope she knows shes not crying alone, but m15 is crying with her.

Skrittens · January 2015

I hope it's ok to post this - I am just in tears today but wanted to give an update on me - nothing to worry about -I'm back in L&D for monitoring and a second round of steroids. My BP was pretty high again, but has been going down again - but only when I lie on my side. I may have to stay on my side the rest of the pregnancy - which I really hope is at least another 6-8 weeks.

I'm hoping to be discharged again today.

Thank you everyone for your good thoughts. It really means a lot to me. m15 is the best!!!

BitsyBelle84 · January 2015

@Skrittens I hope everything looks good enough they are able to discharge you home later. T&P for you and your little one. Thanks for the update.

I'm glad your BP is going down, but I really hope you don't have to lay on your side for the rest of your pregnancy.

goofygoff · January 2015

@Skrittens I'm glad your BP is down, and I hope you'll be able to rest comfortably at home.

@luckystarz Thinking of you, too, and hope that LO stays put as long as possible.

AFM, I'm headed back to L&D. I started vomiting again this morning, and with the GD, they aren't taking any chances. Just waiting for D to get home.

DragonflyDreaming · January 2015

@Skrittens‌ @goofygoff‌ @luckystarz‌ So many hugs and positive thoughts to you ladies. Hope you get to feeling better and that your LOs continue to cook.

JenLa21 · January 2015

saw this on huffington post today.. it shouldn't be so surprising, but some of these pics are crazy!!

my son actually looks identical to my H when he was a baby. and when little boy sees pics of his daddy, he thinks its himself!

Oh no @goofygoff‌ I'm sorry you are headed back. Thinking about you!!

janda426 · January 2015

@goofygoff‌ @Skrittens‌ thinking of you both and hope everything is ok!

kcbizme · January 2015

@Skrittens & @goofygoff Keep us updated! Fx that those babies keep on cooking until at least 39 weeks!

My H's daughter looks JUST like him at the same age. It's uncanny except she has long hair.

starsailorr26 · January 2015

@Skrittens Thank you for the update. I hope you are discharged soon.

@goofygoff I hope it turns out to be nothing. Thinking of you both and sending vibes you are both home resting soon.

LionelBtchy · January 2015

@skrittens @goofygoff‌ hope you both start feeling better and that everything is OK.

WinningColors · January 2015

@skrittens and @goofygoff Thinking of you both. Hope everything is ok.

Skrittens · January 2015

Thank you again everyone for all of the good thoughts. I was discharged this afternoon and am on modified bedrest through at least Monday. As long as I lie on my side my BP is perfect - but as soon as I roll on my back or sit up it gets dangerous. So, I can move around the house and run one errand a day but otherwise need to be lying on my side. I can also continue to do work as long as I am lying on the couch and don't get too stressed out.

So, I am going to run by the store to get some food, then it's back to bed for me! Now I wish I had invested in renovating the rec room in my basement ... We don't have the most comfy couches and bed is boring (no tv).

Fx that all of the rest of the M15 moms stay away from L&D for a few more weeks!!!

BitsyBelle84 · January 2015

@goofygoff @Skrittens @luckystarz Thinking of you ladies and your LOs. Hoping the next several weeks are more comfortable and less eventful, with no need for trips to L&D. Hugs.

mangomimosa · January 2015

Came here to whine about weight gain. Got over THAT in about 1/2 second flat.

I missed Suzee's post b/c I was also at my 30 wk appt... got to hear my little guy loud & clear. Breaks my heart a mama here was doing same thing at the same time but had opposite outcome. So sooo sad, I can't even imagine.

meowkitten · January 2015

I am just heartbroken for SuzyQ. I can't even imagine what she and her family are going through. A girl I work with who is pregnant had her anatomy scan today and was complaining all day that the baby had better be a boy because that was the most important thing to her...I already wanted to punch her in the face for taking her baby's health for granted, and after reading that thread when I go to work tomorrow I might actually do it. It just fucking sucks that anyone has to go through something like this. I don't even have the words.

@Skrittens @goofygoff @luckystarz I am thinking of you girls and sending you all hugs. I just want all of the March babies to keep on cooking.

jess412love · January 2015

@Skrittens‌ @goofygoff‌ @luckystarz‌ sending my T&P for all of you! I hope you all start feeling better very soon! hugs. M15 is having a rough day all around :-S

PHNJenna · January 2015

What a rough day. My heart breaks for Suzy. I've had her on my mind all afternoon. Then I fell on ice when out visiting a client- and it was terrifying and I'm scared, I've been laying in bed for an hour doing kick counts. So far so good, I got a good heart beat on my doppler and no pains. I'm taking it easy tonight for sure.

Good morning ladies! I am 32 weeks today! How can we be this far?
We don't talk or read to baby, but he hears lots of voices, reading, singing, ect. throughout the day from me and the girls! My husband finds pregnancy weird, he says it's like I have an alien inside me, so he wont feel baby kick or anything.

Anytime I am standing I feel like I'm having contractions. My stomach is tight and heavy and uncomfortable. If I sit down it's better, but it totally freaks me out. I feel like i can't get anything done because I just want to sit or lay down all day.

I feel the same way when I stand for to long too! I work in a school and sometimes I stand a lot. I sit when I can. My feet are killing me by the end of the day

cinderella105 · January 2015

I just saw the board wide hour of silence thread and am now wiping away tears. That's so sweet to do for those mamas.

Skrittens · January 2015

I just got the senior citizen discount at the grocery store. I thought I looked too pregnant and I spent too much money keeping my hair blonde to look 55!! Besides I still have 18 years!!!!!!

Skrittens · January 2015

@chilibeansm0m‌ - it was 5%. I would have bought more if I would have known I was getting a discount!!

ruemorgan · January 2015

Im taking quiet time and hiding in the bathroom. My DH knocked over one of our full sized 6 foot mirrors in a rush and it shattered. Everywhere. He was cursing and so mad that his reaction made me totally calm, like "its okay baby, its just a mirror." Trying to balance us out I guess. Then he's trying to put up two shelves in the nursery and long story short, it went horrible and now theres 4 completely useless decent sized holes on my freshly painted wall. I know he meant well every step of the way. I hate being mad when they obviously didnt mean to make you upset.

@cesquer‌ - I didn't sleep last night either. I fell asleep at six this morning, am now up...and need to have a very productive work from home day today.

@jennypm - ugh sorry about the dishwasher. We would be eating off of paper plates here. I am not a fan of doing dishes in the first place - but no dishwasher with a houseful like would mean we aren't even using dishes in the first place

I have to check back into the hospital again this afternoon for some more tests and monitoring and a second steroid shot. It's normal though and hope to come home this afternoon. I just don't think I realized how big the risk was that I could have a pre-term baby, and I really need to take things easy. Hopefully for the next 8 weeks (fx).

I'm just frustrated because I don't want to leave anyone at work in a bad spot (and it would all fall on a big boss - who had that happen last year when I had to go on an emergency medical leave), but at the same time I'm nervous and tired and have trouble concentrating - which is critical for my job.

@Skrittens‌ I am feeling weird about work too! I am good at my job and always try to do my best, but I feel like I am just not at my best right now. I am tired and distracted.
