All Ladies Due Jan 18 and 19th coming over to the Third Tri

[Skittleblue]

I slept through the ball dropping (because DH and I are SO exciting) but woke up this morning thinking "holy crap, I'm going to have a baby this month!" Eek! I cried a little because I'm so excited, and then promptly started to panic over all we have left to do!

Last year at NYE, I was in bed with DH, but awake to at least see the ball drop. I was also really upset because we had been trying for so long and that meant another year had passed with no baby on the way.

1) finish my Ed.S. so I can have that stress gone
2) find a job teaching online and hopefully be able to spend more time at home with Zoe once she's here
3) be a cloth diapering pro
4) lose weight to get back to my goal weight of 150
5) go back to karate in march (or so) and finally work on getting my 2nd degree

This NYE, I hope to be curled up on the couch with DH, talking about when we want to start trying for #2.

Nikki lung maturity amnio at 37 weeks??? That is rediculous...ur 'full term' now they shouldn't have even made u do that. I have never heard of that here...so is the plan to induce u weds?? And I can't recall...are you having issues.is.that why.induction?

Unfortunately i have type 1 diabetes so their lungs do not completely mature as fast as in a regular healthy adult....the results didnt mean she wasnt mature, it just means we have to test it again another way to prove shes mature...i will kno wed what the results are...if they are still not mature we will decide on an induction date.... Shes on the bigger side bc of my diabetes, but we dont want to end up w a c section, so we r trying to have her vaginally but they dont think shell fit through...but it just pisses me off bc they keep saying if she came on her own they would let her come...i feel the amnio was a waste and a hassle ...it was just an awful day yesterday... Contractions all day and very intense ones...i am feeling a bit better today though... If i ever decide to have another im refusig an amnio!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

It is protocol here in the u.s. that if they are inducing before 39 weeks an amnio should be completed esp on a type 1 diabetic...its like a whole other ball game with lawsuits etc. i understand y they have to, but ugh.... And the thing that kills me was that my specialist yesterday, before the amnio was done, was seeing that ella wasnt being reactive on the non stress test.. For 30mins... He said if she still isnt reactive for 15 mins were not even going to do the amnio and just induce today.....and then.......she moved lol....

Yeah, its silly if she were to come they wouldn't stop her but wont jsut induce you! My friend is a type 1 diabetic too and she went into labor at 34 1/2 and they went ahead and c-sectioned(previous section) and did't stop labor and her baby did great....
I'm in the U.S. too and out here they don't typically do amnio to check, they do biophysical profiles to see that baby is practicing breathing and what not but that is all. Crazy how different areas do difffernt things lol I hope your test come back good so you can get that big girl out of there!! How big are they saying she is on sono??

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Yea i know! They check her breathing on sono too and shes clearly breathing, but yea they kind of have to... Im just so tired and exhausted, their saying shes close to 8lbs now... Im so done.

Went for a nice walk today as it was beautiful weather, now in agony!!

 

[MrsHopeful]

Nikki....ahh I see....i didnt know that about the lungs if you are duabetic......Well I hope she decides to come herself now!!
SnowOwl-cute pic...I look huge compared to you-no wonder I get the is it twins comments hehe.
Jellybeans-have you tried ur scented body lotion/E45 cream-that held m often when my skin itches (sensitive skin)......might help ease the itching?

i tried some shower stuff i have called oilatum was prescribed for me from my doctor as i had flaky skin and that seems to have helped fingers crossed it doesn't irritate me any more...certain I've been bitten by something as i've got a massive red spot on my belly with two holes in it

 

[threemakefive]

lol I agree snow you look tiny...i look like im having quads compared to you hahhaha

 

[Snow Owl]

That's why I got growth scans! At my last appointment I was measuring 32cm instead of 36!

But apparently baby is already 7lb, I'm unsure where my organs have gone to fit this in?!!

 

[Leinzlove]

Jellybeans: No ideas for the itching. Hope it stops soon.

Nikki: I'm sorry you had such a bad day. I hope they induce you later today.

 

[MrsHopeful]

Jellybeans-I have heard ovulating is good....you can get it for kids too....I am only itchy at night and when I first wake up-wonder if mine is dehydration? I've just got up with no fluids through the night. Oohhhh could be a bite....Pharmacy may be able to suggest what to put on bite(with being pg not sure you could use the usual stuff)......
SnowOwl.....Blimey if your baby is 7lbs I dread to think what mine is hehe....unless you just have very strong stomach muscles
Leinzlove-your Chloe has the most beautiful blue eyes on that pic.....so bright!! She looks such a cutie
Now that Christmas and New Year are over, I need to keep myself occupied so that the time doesn't drag......I don't feel like that baby is coming anytime soon.
I think I shall bounce on my ball a bit......

 

[MrsHopeful]

Oilatum-sorry-predictive text

 

[Snow Owl]

MrsH - my OH actually mentioned stomach muscles. Although I've never been particularly toned on the outside I have skied nearly daily for years so would like to think I have pretty good core strength.

Like I said before I think he's just pushed all my organs somewhere?? Maybe that's why my ankles have swollen, could they be there? Lol

 

[MrsHopeful]

Hehe could be lol.
Wow I have never skied-skiing every day-are you near a dry ski slope? I am too scared to try skiing-I feel like I'll break my leg lol.

Hi girls hope everyone had a lovely start to the new year!
I went over to DHs brothers house (first time I've went somewhere in 7 years!) It was fun even though I was the only one not drinking (although I did have a glass of champagne)
Our kids had SO much fun!! It was their first time going out! My brother in law has a DD and a dS th same age of our DD and DS. The girls played on their ipads and ipods alll night and the boys played the wii lol gotta love technologly
They also have twin boys (9 months old) but they slept all night
So needless to say we all had TONS of fun
Now I need to keep myself busy until Charlotte arrives.......its going to be a long 2 weeks lol
