Cool!View Thread
The doc's office apparently changed my EDD without telling me, so I'm somewhere between 34 & 35 weeks now (I'm not sure when they changed it or why...).
Overall, I feel fine. LO is IN my hips so they hurt, but I just know I have a little time left and it'll all be over (insert small tear here...). LOTS of contrax and BHC over the last week, but after last week's impromtu doc appt, I decided not to call back unless I got another crazy pattern. I go back today for an appt and will hopefully only be up 1lb... When I went last week, I had lost 1lb... (24lbs in all)
LO is doing fine...he's been flipping around since Saturday...he went from head down to head up and back again...Currently, he's decided to stretch out left to right which HURTS because he's in my hips and because he's ALWAYS been vertical...
Goals = Spend as much time cuddling with DD as possible. We're supposed to go as a family this weekend to see TS3. She's been watching the first 2 over and over again... I need to finish the dining room and hang up a few things in DD's room and get the bedding from my mom for LO's room (she made it) and hang up some decals in his room.
PnP is set up, diapers and wipes are waiting, clothes are washed, and car seat/stoller are in the car awaiting his arrival...the bag is STILL not packed though for whatever reason...
I had a dream last night that I went from 0 to 3...We'll see how that is today when I go to the doc, but that would totally FREAK me out. Wouldn't surprise me...TS/Hurricane Alex was originally expected to make landfall this week and since our LO's name is Alex...

We're all getting SOOOOOOOOOOOOO close!!!!View Thread

Sounds, overall, like a pretty good appointment... I'd be shocked if you didn't have swelling going on in this heat!!!! Listen to your body and take care of you...You'll meet your little princess SOON!!!!!!!View Thread

I'm kinda OCD, so I used the changing table ALL THE TIME... DD would flood EVERYTHING just about every time we changed her diaper, so I didn't want to take chance on getting the floor, couch, or my bed drenched every time I changed her...
What floor is the nursery going to be on?View Thread

That's awesome!!! Your SIL sounds AMAZING!!!!!
Glad you got some much-needed stuff!!!! Have a blast peeking in the room over the next few weeks - it makes things sooooo much more real!!!
Take care! Just 6 more weeks for ya!!!!!! WOW!!!

Saturday night, we went out and she still bought a couple of pieces of maternity wear...I talked her out of buying a Boppy and some other stuff by saying that by the time HER baby (this one or a future one) got here, she could use my stuff so she could save her money... I just didn't want her to be surrounded by baby stuff if the worst DOES happen...
There's NOT a possibility that she got her dates wrong as she (like many of us that took a while TTCing) was a POAS-aholic... She said that ALL of the lines were faint and when she went to the doctor for confirmation, they didn't do a blood test, but a pee test and it was faint (and also after she drank 20 oz of water)...
What DOESN'T make sense in all of this is that she's had the cramping at 4 weeks and 8 weeks just like I did (stretching), she had the spotting due to dehydration last Tuesday...BUT her m/s didn't start until LAST SUNDAY and has continued since then...If the baby is measuring 3 weeks behind, why would she start having m/s a full 2 weeks after the baby stopped growing??? Why would her symptoms be continuing if the baby (possibly) died 3 weeks ago???
Saturday night as we were talking, she said that the u/s tech mentioned that she was going to take a look at her ovaries and suddenly, it looked as though a foot came across the screen. She and her DH both asked what that was and the tech said in a rushed way, "Oh, it was nothing..." Huh??? I thought maybe it was one of the ovaries, but they look more like jellybeans or kidney beans or something like that, but still...if it WERE the ovary, why wouldn't the u/s tech just say that?
This whole situation is just WEIRD...I've told her that DH and I are here regardless and she said that she understands what all could happen in this situation and if it's not God's will, she understands...however, she's still remaining hopeful and she can't explain why... She's being very open to people about the complications when they ask how she's doing - so that's good...
Thanks for your help; I'm just TOTALLY confused!!!!View Thread

I wouldn't stress too much about the measurements...I had the most experienced u/s tech doing my measurements every time I had an u/s with DD and they told me she was going to be 10lbs at birth!!! They were WAAAAAAAAAAAY off - she was average - 7lbs, 6oz...
Sounds like you are doing a MAGNIFICENT job with this pregnancy!!! When I went on Monday, I had LOST a pound, somehow...but that puts me at 24 instead of 25...I was hoping to stick to 20 or less...
Good luck next week!!! I feel you about being irritable and tired - I'm blaming it on the heat!!!!

Take care of you!! HUGS!View Thread

FINALLY conceived by the Grace of God, 2 rounds of Clomid, and lucky 13! Alexander Penn (EDD 8/9/10 but c/s at 39wks)

On Sunday, she tells me that she had been sick all morning (PTL!!!) but that she had been getting really nervous because her mom had lost a baby at 9 weeks and another at 10 weeks. She called Tuesday night and said that she was spotting, told me that it was mucousy pink only when she wiped but that she had been outside all day in the heat. I told her to lie down and drink plenty of fluids and if she continued to spot or it got darker/heavier to call the doc even though she was out of town. I knew that she had a doc appt on Friday (yesterday)...
She calls me today and wants to go baby shopping tonight, but doesn't mention the doc appt, so I finally ASK. She says that things didn't as positively as she would have liked. She's supposed to be 9w, 3d today, but as of yesterday (Friday), she was measuring 6w, 2d - a FULL 3 weeks behind - and there was no heartbeat.
The ultrasound tech apparently told her that it's possible she "caught the pregnancy REALLY early", but the doc told her that she thought MOST LIKELY that the baby has stopped growing and her body just hasn't expelled it yet but to come back next week for another u/s to see if it has grown any more...
I asked if it was possible that she has a tilted uterus because I KNOW from experience that can cause measurements to be off; however, that wouldn't explain the lack of a heartbeat...
She left the doc's office and her DH took her out to dinner and she threw it up all over the side of the road...She took this as a sign of pregnancy instead of nerves...
I REALLY want to think positively for her, but I just DON'T think this is going to turn out positively... She's our youth pastor's wife and I'm REALLY concerned with how she'll cope with a m/c - GOD FORBID - because they tried for so long and she was SOOOOOOO excited when she finally got that BFP.
My heart is TRULY broken for her. I mean, here I am about to give birth. Why have I been so blessed? Yes, I did have to TTC for a long time with BOTH of my pregnancies, but I have NEVER had to go through the AWFUL pain of m/c. What do I say? What do I do if the worst actually does occur? I'm afraid this will tear us apart for a WHILE - I understand that she'll need some time/space as she heals, but how do I show her that I'm here???
IS there a possibility this will turn out POSITIVELY for her???? Anybody got some experience with this???
Thanks in advance and thanks for making it this far - I know that it's long... Please just DEFINITELY keep her in your prayers!!!View Thread
