Mummy - Yes! I guess so! Congrats! I'll be joining you in 3 days
Shanlee - I have mine next Friday, March 8th, along with my follow up scan to check on my placenta. Here in the US (or at least, where I'm from) we do the 1 hour first, then if we don't pass that, we go on to do the 3 hour. I have never had to do the 3 hour personally. Fingers crossed that I don't have to this time either! Happy V-day!
Shanlee (again) - Oh gosh, hun, I'm so sorry you're going through this! I was panicking with the calcifications they supposedly found with my LO.... all I can say from that experience is try your best to stay calm until you have more information (easier said than done, I know) and STAY OFF OF DOCTOR GOOGLE! Try your best to enjoy your vacation, and take comfort in the fact that they are taking this seriously and taking any necessary precautions. And remember - they DO make mistakes all the time! The calcifications my LO supposedly had turned out to be reflections or ribs, but the high risk doctor couldn't find anything wrong! And between 3 different people scanning me, each one had a different opinion on the position of my placenta. This could very well be nothing. But take comfort that if it does turn out to be something, they are sending you to the proper person to take care of you and your LO. Sending huge hugs your way!
Wifey - ADORABLE!
Awwww Hoping & Shanlee - you guys should plan a meet-up!
That's awesome! Of course, FL is a big state & you may still be hours from each other
Nice thought though! Hoping, sorry again about the GD, but nice to see you're being positive about it
MrsJJ - Wow! Glad everything turned out fine with your son! Great example of how they really don't always know whats going on via scan though, right??
Cute diaper bag! Glad they took care of you when you didn't like the original one you ordered
UGH Mark&Annie, that stinks. I had that with both of my previous pregnancies... waiting for them to tell me the same for this one to be honest. Then the iron pills bring on the constipation.... YUCK! Misery all around. Hope you're feeling better soon!
AFM, work has been stressful lately. Long story short, I've been giving a standardized test for the past 2 months (it just takes that long when I've got 96 students) and I'm stressing over getting it done shortly. DH is working on his master's program and has been working long & stressful hours at his job, so he's under a lot of pressure right now. And I'm just feeling "not ready" AT ALL for this baby. I want my son's big boy room set up, but DH needs to renovate, and who knows when he'll have the time for that. Until then, my son is in the nursery and all baby stuff is on hold. It really looks like we'll be setting up a dresser and the cosleeper in our bedroom for baby in the beginning.... I don't know how else this could pan out. Even after LO has arrived, DH has one more master's course to finish up over the summer, so he'll STILL be going crazy... Just frustrated. On a positive note, I have my glucose test, follow up scan to check on my placenta, and 28 week appointment on March 8th. Will be exciting to see baby again! I've never had a scan past 20 weeks with either of my other 2 children, so that will be nice! FX that placenta has moved!!!
