Welcome caydensmom, nice to have you join us. Purplekiss will be praying for you, am sure everything will be fine. So what do you ladies have planned for July 4th?

 

[tickledpink3]

@mrskc- My shower is this Saturday. I already warned my doctor that my sugar would be up lol. I just can't say no to cake
@the key-Ever since my sister had her baby, I've been so anxious. I got to hold her today and my baby was just a kickin away. My next appointment is July 11th so hopefully they can give me some good news. How's the bed rest coming?

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Hi all. Just thought to drop by. Hope everyone's great!

 

[the_key2005]

Hi Isi, how you doing?
Tickled am slowly getting bored. When DH gets home from work I talk his ear off cos i've spent all day without talking to anyone lol. I've watched all the re-runs of CSI, DH got me box sets of 24 so thats what am doing now teehee. My sisters come from Australia next month and are planning to throw me a shower then.
MrsK did you have the scan?

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Thanks The_Key. I'm good.....on a break for now and considering IUI in a few months. Are you Australian born?

 

[mrskcbrown]

Hey Isi. We missed you Praying for you always!

My scan went well. Baby is measuring right on track at 6w6d and heartbeat was 130bpm. DH was in tears.
We are in Chicago for the holidays. DH is going back home on monday and Im staying here for 1 and half weeks with my family. It will be different to be without him, but I miss my friends and family, and having girl talks etc. Im sure he will be fine but I will miss him as well. Then as soon as I come back Im home one week and going to the Bahamas on a cruise with girlfriends.

@tickeled: Have a ball at your shower girl!

Hey nightnurse! Yes actually 7 weeks.. It seems kinda quick to others but kinda slow to me, LOL How are you doing? Hope all is well.

 

[the_key2005]

Hi Girls am sulking at the moment. I made DH go get me grape juice then he came back with grape concentrate and I made him drive back to the shop with me, the lady behind the counter was suprised to see him back with the drink and all he said to her was 'pregnant' and rolled his eyes, the lady laughed. Boy did I feel silly lol, ooh and guess what else, I normally have an inny belly button and couldnt see the inside of it unless i pressed down on it, now its raising up
Congrats MrsK, wow 7wks! I know time drags but for others it always seems to zip past. Isi yes I am aussie born.

Hi ladies, just saying a quick 'hi' to touch base. Hope you all had a great weekend!

 

[AJThomas]

Hi Kareen! Just checking in myself.

 

[mrskcbrown]

Hey everyone. Im doing well and I see you all are also.

AJ: Praying for your BFP!

Kareen: Glad you are doing fine.

I had a great time shooting fireworks with the family. DH is gone homeand I wont see him until July 16. I miss him but I think I will survive.

 

[PurpleKisses]

Hi ladies,

Glad to see everyone is doing well

Well, I have my mw appt in the morning so please pray that all goes well. I have to say, based on today, it doesn't seem too promising. I woke up spotting slightly and now, I'm basically dripping blood (sorry tmi). To make it worse, for some reason, every time I spot or bleed, I get really bad nausea...so I've been heaving all day long. It really hasn't been a pleasant day for me...and it's my birthday out of all days

I feel like I might be on bed rest until January

I'm sorry, I just had to get that out somewhere and I know you ladies are so supportive so hopefully I don't sound like too much of a cry baby lol.

xx

Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Im so sorry to hear this. Im praying for you right now. Well if you have to be on bed rest thats fine as long as you can bring forth a healthy child. I know you are a nervous wreck. Are you going to go to ER or just wait for appt tomorrow. I truly hope everything turns out ok

 

[Isi Buttercup]

Hi everyone. Just checking in

Oh Purplekisses, I pray everything goes well. By God's grace, you and your baby are safe. Happy (belated) birthday too.

Hope everyone is doing great

 

[the_key2005]

Purplekisses hang in there honey, am sure you will get a lovely birthday suprise and everything will be fine.

 

[kareen]

Spotting can be normal Purple. Could just mean little bubs is growing and putting more pressure on your cervix I'm sure all will be well. I have a friend who bled "period like" blood every now and then throughout her whole pregnancy. She was well known in emerg lol, but all turned out well for her and the baby. Have a happy belated b-day and even though it may be hard, try not to stress

 

[PurpleKisses]

Hey ladies!

I held out and waited until I went to the doc's this morning. My mw is wonderful, she did an ultrasound right away and baby looked great. Baby's heartbeat was 156 so that's great. I have an ultrasound with a specialist in a couple weeks just to make sure my placenta isn't tearing and it's not sitting too low. She checked my cervix and it was closed. My mw told me that the cramping I have could just be "growing pains" since I'm not the biggest person and baby seems to be growing fast. Thankfully, my mw told me that I can do limited activity and I only need to rest if I spot more than a few drops at a time.

I guess on the bright side, being higher risk means I get more ultrasounds than the normal pregnant woman lol.

I feel so much better now that I've seen my LO and heard the heartbeat...I can't remember the last time I've felt so relieved (I had a relatively easy pregnancy with DS)...

Thanks so much for the birthday and well wishes! You ladies are awesome!

 

[tickledpink3]

You make sure you get some rest and take good care of yourself and that baby!
