question for you ladies who know about your shower are you going to be there when it starts or are you going to go late like if it was a surprise?

I didn't know that they actually planed pretend surprise events.
I will be at the house before they arrive.

question for you laies who know about your shower are you going to be there when it starts or are you going to go late like if it was a surprise?

I will most likely be there when it starts or just a few minutes late because its about an hour to where we are having it. Everyone else lives very close by. Poor hubby though, he has to hang out with all the other guys somewhere else because the girls who planned it for me are pretty old fashioned (they're actually Mennonite) so it will be a girls only shower. Which does make me a little sad but hubby understands.

Hubby will be hiding on the second floor of the house. I might have to sneak up some food. I know that if ladies (they are all his family) know he is there they will wanna call him to play baby shower games on him!

hubby wouldn't mind being there at all, games and all lol. Its just since all the girls are Mennonite, its kind of a girls only thing.

Doctor happy if DIA no. of BP is between 90-100 so I get to go home. I'm excited to go home but nervous about not being monitored non-stop. I like the reassurance of being in safe hands.

So the doctor this morning says I'll have weekly appts with the maternity clinic at the hospital I'm set to deliver at, who is also taking over my care. BUT I will also have TWICE weekly mini ultrasounds to monitor blood flow and the placenta as well as check my BP and also have the CTG monitoring at the big hospital that's for high risk patients which is about 45 mins from home.



Write more when I'm home.

 

[La Mere]

Glad to hear they are letting you go home!

I had trouble eating dinner tonight. My belly wouldn't let me get close enough to the table to reach my bowl. Then every time I moved my bowl closer then leaned over to eat, my belly would push it away!

 

[La Mere]

Oh Ducky, thats so cute! gave me a lil chuckle too!

 

[Lillian33]

sorry ducky that you had such trouble with dinner but the image made me giggle a little!

Betheney woohoo for getting out of hospital, what a relief! Extra monitoring will be good and make you feel at ease but constant monitoring would probably eventually drive you bonkers!

Happy Birthday Brieri!! Hope it was a good one

Nikki, im glad you;re feeling better now, what a scary thing to go through

Ditty, so sorry about your neighbour, definitely gives you some perspective doesnt it.

xteepeex, welcome!! As the other ladies have said it's such a good bunch of girls.

Deedee you crack me up, the visions of the different dances!! ha ha!!

 

[duckytwins]

I thought it was hilarious! Ain't nuthin gonna stop me from eating!!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

I will be there before everyone setting up!

You all make me laugh out loud!

 

[ARuppe716]

Betheney- so glad you I finally get to go home! And it sounds as though you are in good hands.

For the shower I'm guessing I'll show up when everyone else does. I think that's what we did for my bridal shower too.

Ow I just got the sharpest pains down in my hoo-haa.. I figure baby must be moving on a nerve or shifting position or something. It made me cry out in pain..

I don't have a baby shower. They're not really big over here and nobody has offered to hold me one. Would have been nice, my youngest is almost 13 and we've had to start again with nothing, it almost feels like a first baby it's been so long!

 

[duckytwins]

I call that cervix stomping! (Or lightning crotch, I've heard too). Boop does that a lot! It knocks the wind out of you, doesn't it? Ouch!

Happy Birthday Brieri!

Welcome xteepee!

I am 26 and DH just turned 32 two days ago.

Still battling with a cold, cough and now an ear infection, ugh. Last night was soooo miserable, worse because I got up to pee at least 7 times. I keep joking to DH that at least baby will be used to contractions when labor comes around cause of all the tightening that happens everytime I cough.

Also we're supposed to get hit by a hurricane later tonight! So today was pretty busy.

Then my Dad decided that as a pre-baby gift he was going to do some much needed upgrades on our tiny, little old house, I'm super excited and grateful about it, but its quite a big project and means we'll have to move in with them for a few weeks. So baby might not get to be born here at all, and my mom is against home birth so might not want me to do it at her house, there is a place nearby we could use (my Dad's private office which has a bed and bathroom that I could use) so we'll see. Mayb I'll get lucky and we'll be back home b4 Cayde arrives but I doubt it.

Stomping is right! I've never experienced it before, it's brutal. So glad I'm not the only one experiencing it. I was trying to make pizza and had to go sit on my swiss ball and hope he changed position.
