[darkstar]

Congratulations Lillian!

I think OH and I have finally settled on a name, Kyan or Kian.. we haven't settled on the spelling yet. We're pronouncing it rhyming with Ryan.

 

[La Mere]

AJ- You look beautiful, hun!

Sassy- Cannot wait to see all the cute stuff you for Chloe!!

Lillian- Congratulations!!! So happy for you! What a wonderful birthday surprise!!!

Aruppe- Loving your bump, hun. You look fab!

Betheney- Great idea for the pool! I made a a game.. can't wait to see what you girls guess

I got my invitation to my baby shower. I will post a pic of it tomorrow. It is sooooooo cute!!!! Baby has been so active the past couple days.. at least he/she has been letting me sleep lol.

Sorry if I forgot anyone!!

 

[Lillian33]

Thanks so much ladies, was the best birthday ever that's for sure!!!

Looking good aruppe!!! Well done on that walk, I struggled on my walk today, mostly cause of the wind!

Welcome back LittleJ!

xx

 

[duckytwins]

Oh Lillian, how wonderful!!! I'm headed to bed, but I'll come by tomorrow to catch up!

 

[Leinzlove]

Little J: So, good to see you! How exciting to be surprised by hubby! I can't wait for my ultrasound... EEEEEEK! 11 days! (Also a gift from hubby for our anniversary.)

ARuppe: Loving your gorgeous bump! What beautiful pictures!

Also my DD was 6lbs 3oz at 39 weeks! I was 6lbs 5oz and DH was 6lbs 7oz... So, I'm thinking Zoela will be under 7lbs. I'm going 200 Newborn diapers... But, I can always use them for our #3 which we are already planning for.

 

[Betheney]

congratulations Lillian!!!!

Leinlove you should start a pool and send it to me here!!

Go on and look at the pools already made and have a few guesses.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Lillian - huge congratulations!

Aruppe - gorgeous pics and well done on the walk!

Afm, hip pain seems to have settled a little which I am so thankful for!
Also I'm pretty sure my little man has now turned completely, when we were grocery shopping yesterday I had this weird pressure feeling and slight rotation feeling and then all last night he was so active, we could see my whole tummy moving with lots of kicks or punches up high, I'm hoping they were kicks x

 

[Betheney]

Hey girls follow up appt from last Thursday when my BP wasn't very good so I was asked to come back today to see my doctor. This is how it went

150/97
15ish/95
142/100

All taken within 5 minutes. Last week only my DIA no. was high (bottom number). Now both numbers are shit.

5-10 mins later - quiet dark room sitting up
140/100
144/105

5-10 mins later - quiet dark lying down
140/101
147/102

Asked about my regular BP readings from my normal doc from the first 2 trimesters all floated around 120/80.

After all those readings he wasn't happy. He was glad I still have no protein in my urine and babies heart rate was happy but told me just to be certain I better go to hospital for CTG monitoring and so rang ahead for me and told me there's a chance I could end up staying overnight and to make sure someone drives me there.



- update -

At the hospital hooked up and having the CTG. So just monitoring babies heart rate and any contractions (obviously none) and pressing the button whenever I feel gremlin.

First blood pressure reading after relaxing for 30mins was 120/100 so top number has come down heaps but bottom number still crap.

Next reading 10mins later still feeling relaxed 142/105

 

[BlossomJ]

Betheny - Hope they get to the bottom of what's causing it. How are you feeling? Hope you're OK - let us know when you have any info.

Lillian - What a special birthday! I'm sooo happy for you both

 

[Lilahbear]

Lillian - congratulations. What a wonderful suprise! x

 

[Lilahbear]

Bethenay - poor you. I hope they work out what's causing it and can get it under control. x

Thinking of you Betheney, hope they can figure out what's causing this really soon. Try to relax & keep us posted. Big hugs xx

 

[Lauren021406]

betheny I am thinking of you!!

I have felt so out of breath since last night I dont know if its normal or if I should call dr. I feel lil man moving around though so that calms me down

 

[Betheney]

Thank you girls. It's a bit of a crappy situation

Update

- a few hours later after really relaxing and nearly falling asleep while awaiting the doctor the midwife did one last check and it was 145/98 so still not good

Doctor then turned up shortly after to see me. Told me he'd like to take some bloods then check my blood pressure every 15minutes for 1 hour. If the 4 readings don't drop below 95 then he would like room start me on medication and then monitor me for 12hours to see if the medication works. But I think even if it's below 95 they still wish to keep me in and see my blood pressure over a 12hr period even without medication. AsI think he said I could possibly go home if all 4 are below 95 but I think he was trying to compromise because I didn't really want to stay. But I've just told him if he wants me to stay then I'm happy to stay and I'll send my husband and Eva home. So he agreed that was a good idea.

Anyway the 4 x 15min checks

1st was 138/98
2nd was 142/102
3rd was 148/108
4th was 135/104

So looks like I'm going to be medicated and then monitored for 12hrs to see if the meds work. Fingers crossed they do so I can go home tomorrow lunch time. It's 11:30pm now.

Quick update

Took the meds now just waiting for a room, they're trying to find me a private room even tho I'm not a private patient so I dont have to listen to crying babies all night.

 

[DeedeeBeester]

@sonia: glad ur feeling better!
@betheney: thinking of you, hope they get ur bp under control. Keep us posted!

Afm, at drs building waiting for them to open, I'm starving! On stupid tablet lol

 

[Betheney]

Zero phone coverage in my room also ended up in a normal room with a newborn like 2 meters from my bed, that has the loudest cry ive ever heard come out of a newborn. Boo. No more blood pressure checks or anything it's just sleep and a 12hr wait to see how the medication worked. So I guess nothing to update until the morning.

Thanks for all the love girls, hopefully will have an update by tomorrow lunch time.

 

[ARuppe716]

Betheney- lots of positive vibes coming your way from NJ. Hope the meds work and you can home. Sounds like you are handling it well, though... Hope everything works out!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Grr! I already feel sickish and this lady sits here close and starts pouring a super stincky cream all over her arms! The 3 hour drink is double as sweet as the one hour one. :s trying so hard to keep it in!

 

[La Mere]

Betheny- Big Thinking of you and sending prayers. I hope your bp comes down soon. I am sorry you have to stay in the hospital, hun. I hope they can figure out what's going on soon so you can go home. Keep us updated hun.

Sonia- I am so gad you are feeling better!

Lauren- I've been feeling out of breath too. I think it is mostly due to baby getting bigger and putting pressure on our lungs and just about everything else. If you have too much trouble with breathing, I would call your dr. but I wouldn't worry too much as it is pretty normal to start getting short of breath as baby gets bigger.

Little J- Welcome back. What a sweet anniversary present!

DeeDee- Good luck, hun! I am sorry that you have to do this again, and about that lady with the stinky cream. I hope everything goes good for you this time.

And like I said I would yesterday, here is a pic of the invitation to my baby shower!

[DittyByrd]

So much has happened this weekend!

Congrats Lillian on your engagement, yay for the start of the baby showers, and we are obviously the group with the cutest bumps!

Betheney - Have you had protein in your urine or any other symptoms of hypertension? Really wishing you the best and hoping the medications makes a difference for you.

Lauren - I walked up an down the steps twice yesterday packing to leave my parents' house and I had to sit down I was so out of breath. Try kneeling on all fours to take some pressure out of your abdomen (which will let you diaphragm expand more) and see if that helps.

Last night I got kicked so hard right about the left brim of my pelvis I actually jumped! My DH said "There is no way that was due to the baby!" Oh yes. This little jellybean isn't so little anymore. I can feel bean move simultaneously on both sides of my abdomen (making think he/she is transverse) and it makes me feel a little panicky about how close this is getting! AHHH!

BTW - Anyone else snoop on their registries to see what's been purchased? Shame on me but I can't help it!
