Hi Everyone!!
Booger - You and I have similar labor stories in regards to the labor length and the swelling. That must be what causes the severe swelling... loooong labors lol. It was SOOOO bad so I know exactly what you are talking about. I don't think that happens in normal labors as nobody else I know really complained about that. I had to leave the hospital in my socks because my feet didn't fit into the shoes I wore to the hospital LOL.
Terri - I'm just like you, I'm about 90% done with my Christmas shopping lol. I hate waiting until the last minute and I hate dealing with the crowds and the parking. So I do most online and then just pick up a few other things here and there.
Krissy - Congratulations on having a girl!! I'm so excited for you. I think your little girl will love having a little sister. I have 3 brothers and I would have killed for a sister, especially one close in age
Brighteyez - Congratulations on such a great beta. That is such great news. I can't wait until your scan.
Beaglemom - I'm glad everything is going good for you. I didn't know you were planning on getting pregnant again so soon (well less than a year from now). That is awesome though! I think they want you to wait because you had a c-section right? What other reason is there to wait? My friend got pregnant 4 months after giving birth and when she was 7 months pregnant the c-section scar tore and sent her into early labor. They told her that she didn't allow enough time for the incision to heal enough to carry another pregnancy.
LadySosa - Congratulations on having a girl!! That is such precious news. I'm so happy for you! I love little girls
AFM - My transfer is in two weeks, on Dec. 17th. I'm getting excited. I will be 7dp6dt on Christmas Eve so I will probably test then, which is a little scary since I don't want bad news, but I know I won't be able to wait any longer than that lol.
I live about 15 minutes away from the San Bernardino shooting. Everyone is freaking out and it's all over the news constantly here. The whole situation is so sad. What is the world coming to? It's so scary. Now there saying that it's possible there is an active ISIS cell in this area and to stay away from shopping malls and movie theatres etc... of course it's the busy time of the year.
Also my puppy is sick again. Well she's sick but she's not. She's acting just fine. But she went to get her teeth cleaned a few weeks ago and they always run blood tests before putting her to sleep and her kidney values were severely elevated again. So they kept her all day on an IV to try and get them down, which they came down, but not to normal. So she asked me to come back in a week to retest. So I did and they were back up. Normal is between 5 - 29, Mya's was 135 (so REALLY high). My vet said she was baffled because these levels show advanced kidney failure, yet her urinalysis came back normal and they didn't see any kidney damage in the ultrasound they did the last time she was sick, and of course with that degree of kidney failure, she would definitely be acting sick (which she's not at all). So she said that they have done basically everything they could do at this clinic and that I needed to go to a specialist. So I make an appointment with an internal medicine vet. At first she was so nonchalant about it when I started telling her the sequence of events, then she started going through all the paperwork my vet sent over and then was like OMG, I need to retest her immediately. I was like um ya lady, that's why I'm here. So she did, and it's now up to 153. They repeat the urinalysis and ultrasound, again all normal. So now she's baffled. She says the test results are conflicting one another and that she wants to consult a different department. Meanwhile she did some more blood tests to rule out a hormonal or adrenal gland cause. So now I'm just waiting for those results. I'm so worried yet I have no idea what to think.
