January Jellybeans 2013!...

[Little J]

Lauren- cute shirt! That sucks about the urine... really hope its just nothing in the end and just ironic all those symptoms happened at the same time?

Ducky- ick! i would totally be starving! But atleast having GD isnt the end of the world if in fact you have it, its somthing that can be maintained with diet so baby will be fine

Nov. 6th I go for my 28 week Dr. apt and GD test... that little orange nasty drink just stares at me in the fridge everytime i open it. I had to remind hubby not to drink it as it looks like a small Crush soda. I hope i dont fail the first test as im SUPER hungry in the mornings when i wake up. I would be an evil witch if that happened....crabby from lack of food and tiredness!

 

[sassy_mom]

Lauren glad to hear your bp got better.

Betheney I hope being back at home will help things. I know the concern will still be there but try and take it easy so it doesn't escalate anything.

Deedee - your cat is too precious!!!

LaMere - I don't think I posted a thank you the other day for the list of books you gave me. I'm sorry if I didn't. Thank you very much and I am going to see which ones I can get on my nook and maybe start looking into them.

Just got back from my appt. Everything was fine. I was there forever waiting. I even got there early and still had to wait. UGH! Chloe kicked the doppler when they put it on. The doctor thought that was too funny! She didn't just bump it, I mean she let that thing have it.

I think today I'm going to work on Chloe's blanket some more and veg on the computer while DD plays. DH keeps telling me stop doing so much and I have just about run out of things to do. Perhaps sitting with my feet up and relaxing will be nice.

Well had my normal appt today and they werent happy had some protein in my urine, my blood pressure was high (but than ok the 2nd time after i rested), and my feet are swollen. I also suffer from headaches so now I have to go back next week to check everything again. Baby is perfect though!

Like said before, if you have not ate it affects. I had some in my urine monday, not enough to worry about, but she said it was normal with ladies that were fasting or dehydrating because body goes into starving mode.

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Oh, just noticed I'm a squash today!

29 weeks - 11 to go!!

 

[La Mere]

You're very welcome, Sassy! It was no trouble and I was glad to do it!

 

[duckytwins]

I just realized I've only gotten 8 hours of sleep in the last two days.

 

[La Mere]

Yay, DeeDee! I'm right behind you, bump buddy! I'll be a squisy squash on Friday!

 

[sassy_mom]

Oh Ducky! I am so sorry!!! I know that is so hard. I hope you can get some rest!

 

[La Mere]

Oh ducky, I know that's hard. Try to take it easy, hun.

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!

For all the family and friends drama that can occur (I've been lucky to this point that all has gone smoothly), I am still glad showers are standard for first-time moms here in the US. I cannot imagine having to buy EVERYTHING myself. I cringed today buying a box of diapers due to the price.

 

[DittyByrd]

It's fruit day! And I'm STILL an eggplant.

Betheney - Keep us posted. Thinking of you.

I am feeling pretty good. I got some of the cutest stuff for the baby today at Babysrus. I can't resist. I had next to nothing clothing wise when I washed it all and realized I wanted more. I know I will get some next week at my shower but I didn't want to pass up the clearance section!

I bought a box of Pampers Swaddlers NB and a big pack of Huggies wipes. Starting to really feel like a mommy-to-be! Eeeee!

 

[xteepeex]

Thanks for the welcomes everyone! I can see myself getting lost on here with the speed in which it moves!

Been for my 28 wk MW appointment today. My bp has gone down to 120/70 which is good, baby's heartbeat is strong and they are cephalic.

Got my GTT on Friday, luckily it's at 8.30am so i only have to fast overnight - I can just about manage that I reckon! Then I have to have anti-d next week and a consultant appointment. Can't believe in 14 weeks our baby will be here (I'm banking on baby being late because it's bound to be just like its father )!!

Right, I'm now stalking this thread so look out for the next installment!

 

[fingersxxd]

Betheney I'm thinking of you.

Ladies I'm trying hard to keep up but with pneumonia in both lungs I'm wiped out like I never thought possible!

Hang in there ladies, home stretch! So who's gonna be first? And I don't mean for anyone to be too early

 

[Soniamillie01]

I'm still here ladies, promise ill be back fully soon.

Betheny - glad they've let you home now and that they are keeping an eye on you.

Welcome teepee

Hope everyone is doing well, will catch up properly when my ass manages to find a seat for longer than 2 mins!

30 weeks for me today, I reckon I'll be early, this side of Christmas x

Tell me about it. I'm lucky in that my best friend had a baby recently and is going to loan me some things but she had a girl. We don't even have in laws as OH's parents have both passed away and his brother is overseas (although I guess it can also be a relief not to have a Mother in law!) My parents are buying some clothes and some friends of theirs gifted us a highchair they used for their grandchildren so we've saved in a few areas but a shower would be wonderful!

 

[sassy_mom]

Baby showers can be super helpful! I know with us giving away everything from DD, we were like uh.... wow! Starting over is crazy! We had DD's old crib and that was it. The only reason we still had it was because of all the new babies that have come, no one needed a crib. But other than that we had literally nothing. So I know how you feel!

I'm sorry your inlaws aren't around to be part of it. My FIL is staying with us right now as he just got a new job up here where we live. Thankfully he is the one inlaw I actually love being around. DD loves having him here. He use to live in Florida so we didn't get to see him much.

I have a list of what is left to get for Chloe and that has been a big help. We managed to get 3 things crossed off the list the other day and have planned at least 2 more this weekend. My goal is to be only buying diapers until she is born. I don't want to have all this little stuff to add to it.

 

[Betheney]

i appreciate all your concern girls, thanks for everything.

I had my 1 hour Glucose test yesterday. I found out today that I failed... Anyone else ever need the 3 hour?

 

[snowangel187]

AJ how are you doing? Hope your're staying safe and the hurricane doesn't cause much damage. we are under a tropical storm warning right now. =/

Umm ya. tho lots of people fail the one hour and then pass the 3 hour. Cut out sugar and carbs when you can. And switch to wheat pasta and breads. Good luck.
