Hi everyone I just wanted to hop on and tell you that today is my v day!!! I made it to 24 weeks!! I am so excited to still be pregnant and we have set a new goal of 30 weeks so we are hoping that I will stay pregnant for another 6 weeks. My personal goal is 34~37 weeks. I have faith that I can get there and have a healthy baby. I do have to say that bed rest really sucks. All I do is eat now because I get so dang bored. I up'ed my cable and still can't seem to find anything to watch..lol
Airyonna is doing great and is kicking all day and was playing so much the other day she woke me up. I don't mind that at all, I'd rather have her playing in me than fighting out of me, ya know. She is getting to be so much fun and I am counting down the days until she opens her eyes. Well I hope that all of you are doing great!!!

So happy Airyonna is staying put Congrats on making it to you V-day!

Hey ladies,

How is everyone? I still have my crazy migraines Today is not too bad so far, but they usually get worse as the day goes on. I went to see my OB yesterday, and she is having me go for a ton of blood work tomorrow. Just cannot figure out why my headaches won't go away.
I am also going to an ultrasound today to check the size of the baby and look at my fluid levels. For the past week or so, my underwear constantly seems to get wet. Not a ton, but enough for me to notice. It does not look like discharge, just looks like water. I know it is not from my bladder either. My OB just wants to make sure it is not amniotic fluid. I will keep you ladies posted.

I have been getting pretty severe headaches too I literally lay on the couch crying in the dark with a blanket over my head. Mine arent that consistent though some days I am totally fine. I hope they can figure out what going on with you! Please keep us posted on the fluids as well!

Sorry to hear you are getting bad headaches too. They are so hard to deal with. Yesterday was the worst, but today seems to be better. I started taking calcium/magnesium supplements, so we will see if they work. I am glad your baby boy is doing well It is always nice to hear a strong heartbeat. I went for my ultrasound on Tues, but they did not tell me anything. I think if there was serious fluid loss they would have said something right away. I go to see my OB on Wed for my ultrasound and blood results. She told me if anything comes up, she will call me before Wed. I spent 2 hours in a blood lab yesterday But hopefully all is well. I just need t rest, but it is hard when I have 2 little ones to run around after all day. Thank god my hubby is on xmas holidays after tomorrow for 2 weeks. I am so gonna try and rest as much as I can. Take care

I've a feeling he would come at the end of march only because my mothers birthday is the 30th and my sisters is the 31st and that would be just my luck not that I wouldn't be happy I just want him to have his own birthday! I did have a dream he was born April 4th though so I'm praying he holds out till then! I have my first baby shower Feb 4th only because we have 4 birthdays in Jan and another baby shower in March! Yours is in Jan right?

Hey ladies! I went in for my regular u/s with my specialist last week and they took a couple of unexpected 3d shots!

I've been having killer kidney pain. Waking up in the middle of the night with worst pain ever. Not sure if it's infection (no fever) but I do vomit when the pain wave comes, or if it's just baby positioning! No fun!

That pic is amazing, wow soooo cute

 

[missangie]

sooo cute Marlee!!

I had my 24 week appointment yesterday. met with a midwife rather then my OBGYN for the first time and I LOVED her. I am scheduled with her for my 28 week appt but they have scheduled with my OBGYN for 30 weeks, I think Im going to call and see if I can just stay with her the rest of the time. Unfortunately, she doesnt deliver at the hospital I will be going to though. (But even if i went to the hospital she does deliver at, its very unlikely Id get her there, too. I hate the thought of just being given a midwife or dr that Ive never met...)

anyway, appointment went welll. Ive gained 18 pounds so far (yikes!) Parker's heart beat was in the 130's and Im measuring right on for 24 weeks.

Oh gosh well I hope he gets his own special day
Yes, my baby shower is January 22nd only because my DD's bday is feb 16 and sons is feb 25th and a march baby shower would be cutting it too close because I know we will have to buy a lot of the things we need

 

[Marlee]

I already had 1 baby shower since all of our familys are out of town, I had to go ahead because of holidays and restricted travel after 29 weeks!

Also, has anyone considered cord blood donation? I've been seriously looking into it!

 

[PinkmummyOf3]

I'm starting to feel very nervous about the delivery, I know it's a long way off yet but I'm having to have a home birth as it's likely to be very fast...my second labour was 61 minutes from start to finish and I only just made it to hospital, and my third was only 44 minutes with no time to go to hospital so she was delivered on the bathroom floor 1 min after my midwife arrived! I'm so scared I'm going to be all alone our even worse when it's just me and my three daughters....it's not even as if I can predict when she'll be born as my three were all early, ranging from 21 days to 10 days...not sure what I can do to put my mind at rest, does anyone else have speedy deliveries?

 

[Projectlover]

Hello ladies! At about 7pm the last two nights I have been able to see my bump move a little bit when baby kicks! Quite surreal! I have an appointment tomorrow with the obstetrician - I am not sure why, nor is his booking clerk nor my midwife - could be an interesting appointment?!

Very cute pic Marlee. Good luck with all the baby showers.

 

[Projectlover]

Well my appointment lasted about half an hour. As I suspected, no one seemed very sure about why I was there. Got to listen to the heartbeat though - The consultant saw baby kick the doppler away! 23 weeks today and I just know time is going to fly by from now on. One week to V-Day. Woopwoop.

 

[missangie]

I feel like time is going to fly by also when I see the ticker saying only 3 months and such and such days. But at the same time I think its going to drag, mostly when I think about working and teaching gymnastics for another 15 weeks lol (makes sense, right?)

 

[PinkmummyOf3]

Merry Christmas everyone......I'm sooooooooooooooooo excited!!!
