Angieloo since you are the one that told me I will be cussing you under my breath if this starts this week since you are the bearer of bad news
I cant imagine
I'm serious ill be in tears for sure. Never thought pain in my hands would make me want to cry. I can't imagine what people with rheumatoid arthritis feel like. Bless them all

 

[ktskittle]

UGh! I just wrote the longest message and than it dissappeared... My hand hurts too much to replicate all of it so here's the main stuff>>
Bug! Glad your shower was a success and cute pic!
FLA: Yes on the hands, ugh! And now my feet have decided to join... They look like Fred Flinstone or the michelin man or the marshmallow man from ghostbusters. And if I press my finger into the top of my foot it will sink down until it hits bone and then when I pull it away, a deep indentation will stay behind for a while. Pitted Edema is what it's called I guess... My Dr is having me check my BP daily now to watch for Pre Eclampsia.
I also think Angela must have had her baby. I will likely post when I am in labor because I will have my iphone and be getting an epidural, so will (hopefully) be sitting there NOT in pain for a while until it's time to push. (Wishful thoughts, anyone?!?)
Dani: Keep us updated about the movements!
Canada! Yay on a healthy babe! My ultrasound is tomorrow and I am super excited.. I am praying he sets an induction date!!! We shall see!

Nevermind... My ticker is fixed.

LADIES I AM SOOOO SORRY!!

Start off my saying NO I have NOT had my baby girl yet! I had been training my replacement at work and didnt have a second to get on here lately at ALL and on top of it my HANDS ARE KILLING ME TOO!! ( I have zero feeling in any of my fingers-both hands! Just the tips that are numb but its horrifc. My Dr wants me to go see a hand surgeon but I REALLY want to out off trying ANYTHING ((she thinks they willl either want to do cortizone shots or surgery) before she is here, I just feel like personally she is just so big inside me and I am so little I feellike she is just laying on every nerve in my body! I hurt so bad everyday, She moves, and it hurts, I get shooting stabbinbg sharp pains down my legs from her being on my nerves too. I have also been nauseated like you girls! I am 38 weeks today!! AH I cant wait to have her. Im finally off work though and would REALLY like sometime to myself before she comes though! I need to rest, I never just sit down and I need to. I just started bouncing on the ball this week, she is in position and really cant get any lower, My husband and I are starting to take walks everyday too,m I am so scared to be induced I want to try everything I can to get her out on our own.

My nursery is complete so i will post pics tomorrow! I will load some of my maternity pics from the photo shoot too to share!

I would just iike to say too....you girls are the best! Its been SO nice going through this journey with ALL OF YOU and I am SO thankful to have found you girls! I PROMISE when she comes I will let you girls know ASAP!! PROMISE!! This has been such a wonderful journey....I can't believe we are all where we are right now.....seemed like just the other day we were talking about how we felt like things were going soooo slow and now its like OH MY GOODNESS WHERE DID THE TIME GO??!!! ....

 

[ktskittle]

Yay! I am so glad all is well, but sorry you haven't had your baby! :-/
I never did get around to doing maternity photos... I sort of wish I had, but oh well.., I look forward to seeing yours! You will likely find that time starts dragging again once u are off work... It's been that way with me at least!

 

[Canada8]

Angela! So glad to hear from you. Sorry to head about your pains.....I feel you girl! You are now in the TWW! Yeah! I can't wait to see nursery and mat photos

Yes it I agree time does drag, but I'm enjoying my lazy time right now lol

 

[Bug222]

Angela- so great to hear from you!!!! Glad all is ok (well.. apart from the pain). Can't wait to see you mat pics and the pics of your nursery.. you are so close!!!

Kts-Hope your ultrasound goes well and you get a date!!!

Canada- my section is the 28th.. so basically 10 more days eeeek!

I can barely walk at all anymore... my back/hip pain was bad enough before with the fusion but now baby had dropped it is pretty much unbearable. I'm hoping the next 10 days go by super fast!!!

 

[Canada8]

ahhh bug222 that is just around the corner!! so excited and jealous!! you are team yellow right? so excited to hear the surprise

 

[Excited4First]

Angela, glad to hear from you and to know that you are well! Hope you get some time to rest and enjoy yourself before baby makes her appearance! Can't wait to see pics of your nursery!! I bet it's beautiful.

Bug, wow, 10 days!! Not long at all!!



How is everyone doing today?

 

[Flagirl]

Angela. Glad you're ok and nothing happened ( bad I mean ). I hope you feel better and ESP after you deliver. Im like you- avoid surgery at all cost. I agree with you. They want to do something before you have her???????

Bug- omgah. I'd be flipping if I knew the day. I'd be so excited and anxious etc. that's awesome
I talk to her all the time and ask her if she knows what day. Ha. As if she could tell me if she did know. If I had a crystal ball I would totally look. I've always said that though

Kt
That's what I read. I checked my Bp this am and it was 107/77. It's always like that. So it's def not my blood pressure but my feet have been that way for about 3 weeks or so. Before they would swell maybe 1 time a week but then go away. It hasn't ever gone away. My hands are swollen a bit but it's mostly the joints in my hands. They hurt so badly. And my fingers tingle a lot and get numb sometimes.

Canada- I know you have lots going on. How are you making yourself relax? Please tell me. I'm having the hardest time just being lazy. My mind is on overtime thinking of all the things I need to do etc.. I need to relax some

Anyone else like this? It's frustrating to me.

 

[ktskittle]

So, heres the result of my growth scan... He is nine flipping pounds!!! Wth! My dr said we cant induce til the 10th based on size slone, but My Bp was 133/83 and we just need the top number to go to 140 OR the bottom to 90 and they will induce me next Tuesday.... 8 days! Oh, and I am now 1-2 cm dilated and 70% effaced (1 week ago I was closed and 40%, so that's quick progress!)
My dr said that we will just hope I go into labor or my Bp will go up some and he thinks it likely will continue to go up! Ahhh!
He also asked if I still wanted to "try and get this baby out of my vagina." I guess I'm allowed to opt for a c section at this point...

 

[Flagirl]

Kt- wow! That's a big boy!!!! Do they know why he's so big? I mean I know when they thought I had g diabetes they immediately said they were worried she would get too big but I think you said you don't have it. So just wondering if they know why he's that big.

I bet her getting anxious just waiting for the number to go up or something else. Hopefully you will just go into labor as they said and you can have him naturally with no major issues.

And I specifically did not even look at this brand much bc of such poor reviews.... From moms and ratings websites alike.
1.8 inch screen is small. How clear could picture be?

 

[ktskittle]

Big babies run in my family... My brother was born at 36 and a half weeks... 9.5 pounds! Ahhh! I need labor dust!

 

[Bug222]

OMG Kts- 9 lbs!!! Maybe you could do a little jumping on the spot before your next BP check and get that BP up a bit for when they do the reading

 

[ktskittle]

Seriously bug!!! I fully intend to do just that!

 

[Excited4First]

Omg KT.. I really hope things get moving quickly for you!!! Holy moly!!!

 

[angieloo]

Omg kt!!! I would be doing lunges in the waiting room before my apt o get my BP up

I can't believe we start the babies part in 10 days- bug you're kicking us off

 

[ktskittle]

Okay, so reality just hit me and I have been bawling like a scaredy cat... I am totally freaked out that he won't come soon... I've been so relaxed and non chalant about the labor until now... It doesn't help that I went and looked at my paperwork and converted the estimated 4300 grams to pounds myself and saw that he's measuring 9 pounds 7 ounces! Ugh! And it still freaks me out that his head is measuring 42 and a half weeks!

 

[angieloo]

Oh kt

I think we will all have those moments over one thing or another. I would be nervous about the size too, but I am sure it will work out with Him coming naturally early or with an induction
