[La Mere]

Well, I'm not registered anywhere, but the girls put my invitation, an RSVP list and a list of things I need/want on the bulletin board at church yesterday and peeked at it as we were leaving and one or two things were already crossed off. Naughty mommy.

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Oh well im heading home soon. I threw up everywhere in the lab. So they are about to draw one last thing of blood and just read them. She doesn't think i have gd since my last numbers werent awful considering what I ate.

Betheney I hope the meds work and bring that BP down! Keep us posted on how things go.

Deedee sorry it made you so sick. I know that was no fun!

I'm finishing up baby organizing today. I didn't get a chance to put everything away yesterday so I am going to be working on that today. I have one last little load of baby things to wash up.

Oh Snow - I don't know if I said this but I wanted to say that I LOVE the name you have picked out. It is beautiful! This post moves so fast, sometimes I forget to put stuff in!

LaMere that is such a cute invitation! I kept peeking too to see what was purchased but it didn't do me any good!

Went through my pictures again and could only find a few that weren't too fuzzy. My camera is so stupid! I need a new one. The bibs I got were so great. The lady made them. She also made some hooded towels. I love the handmade stuff and these were just awesome!

I am sorry that it made you so sick, hun. But it's good that she thinks you don't have GD.

Thanks, Sassy. I thought it was so cute and perfect for a team yellow mama!

I love the pics from your shower. I will try to take some at my shower, only camera I have is our phone But if I don't get pics of the actual shower I will definitely take pics of what we got for baby!

Oh and just a reminder to everyone who wants to participate in the Secret Santa, we need your info by Nov. 1st. Thanks to everyone who has sent their info already!

Aruppe - You look so good! you're definitely one of those people with a pregnancy 'glow'

Darkstar - I'd go with Kyan for the spelling if that's how you're pronouncing it, otherwise it could be said "kee-an"

Betheny - Hope you manage to sleep ok in there & that the meds do their job. Really praying they get this sorted for you

 

[BlossomJ]

Deedee - Ewwww! Hope you're ok now

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Haha, yeah, ewww! LOL thank God it wasn't carpet and managed to miss the chairs! They cleaned in less than a couple of minutes Haha.

I'm back home now, Cab driver was extremely chatty, freaky asking questions LOL.

Waiting to see what they say. Praying to God they don't make me repeat it. I doubt it though, because I don't think they wanna deal with this preggo lady again in the same circumstances hahaha.

Thank goodness. I think it's times like that are why they usually don't have carpet! Glad you're back home, just take it easy. I hope they get back to you ASAP!! What kinda questions? lol

Thanks, Blossom!

hahaha deedee... so sorry that happened.. my cousin went for her GD test and literally threw up all over a nurse and the computer!!! HAHAHA... how awful... glad your home and ok now!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

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.

Hope everything is ok hun! thinking of you! keep us updated!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

ok so update at docs today!... if u remember I now go for weekly non stress test and ultrasound... in just a week baby went from 1lb 14 oz to 2lb 5 oz!!! OMG. im freaking out! lol... she is measuring perfectly on time though... and no contractions and she is doing perfect

and we tried to see her face in 4d again but she is completely head down and facing my spine hoping next week she turns around...

 

[Soniamillie01]

Betheney - sorry to hear you're in hospital but glad they are keeping an eye on you x

 

[JCh]

Kind of an awkward question, is anyone having issues with their nipples creasing or partially turning in.....

My mom always talked about inverted nipples but I have never had this before - seems like I have one really doing it more than the other.... And it's kind of painful, I keep trying to readjust my bra and make it stop happening but it just seems to happen again the next time I check....

Am I the only one? Anyone heard of this or know what to do?

Betheney
Hope ur feeling better and this all get resolved fast for u keep us posted

 

[Kaiecee]

So do u think its cheaper to buy the pacifier holders or make them? I know I could make them but I don't want to end up spending more money hope some one can answer me

 

[snowangel187]

Dr update. Still on bedrest. My appts with him will be every two weeks for now and he's also giving me the paperwork to start my non-stress tests once a week. I got all preregistered for the hospital.

I ended up being 20 mins late picking dd up from school I ran to have some blood drawn and I was next on the list to be called when the lady in front of me passed out. =/

It's probably cheaper to make I'd assume. They're like $5 I think unless u buy the package that has a pacifier and holder together.

My nipples are flat usually and only stick out when cold or stimulated. They don't completely invert inward. It is not painful.

I think it's worth the money to just buy the pacifier clip because you can get cheap ones for a couple of dollars (US). Seems like a lot of work to save a small amount. Just my opinion.
