January Jellybeans 2013!...

[sassy_mom]

I agree Sonia. I think I'm in it until the end and then some. Everyone has been telling me oh no you won't go past this weekend. I think they are all crazy. I've been saying she was going to be late the whole time. I'm starting to think I'll be the one that is right.

Jaime I thought you had a sweep done too. Those are SO painful. I had one with DD and I hurt for 4 days and then had her. I would call up there and ask just so you know. Try to rest as much as you can.

Blossom so glad to hear that things for your new house are moving right along! I hope you can get all settled quickly. Make sure you aren't doing too much though!

Melly I'm sorry you still aren't feeling any better. Orange juice and chicken noodle soup! lol! That is what people always say. Try and relax and hopefully you will be feeling better soon.

AFM: I'll be cleaning up the car and putting the car seat in so we can get use to it being in there. I'm sure DD will find that exciting. She loves everything that has to do with this baby. She hugs my stomach and tells her she loves her nearly everyday. I may go ahead and keep the diaper bag in there as well. Just one less thing I have to grab when I head out I suppose. It is so nice to see so many of us hitting the 37 week mark. I know I'm hitting 38 tomorrow! I can't believe it is right here at the end. But thank goodness because I'm ready. I think I'm off to clean up my kitchen and then try and get some walking done today. I'm thinking of having DH take us up to a mall and spend the day walking this baby out.

 

[sassy_mom]

Two of the girls in my ante natal class emailed to say they had their babies early. Really made me want to meet mine, although I have a feeling this one is going to be late.

I have the same feeling Lilah! I am so ready to meet my newest little girl! The waiting is so hard especially when we are full term and it would safe for them to ... GET OUT! hahahahaha!

 

[AJThomas]

I hope my little bean is early or right on time, otherwise my brother won't get to meet him or might only have a day to see him.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Urge I'm having a complete meltdown!
I've been out with a friend today and know I've overdone it as I'm now shattered, really emotional and ratty!

My whole body is hurting, my hips are killing, my feet hurt, my boobs hurt, my nipples are on fire, my nose is bunged up, my backaches -
I feel like I've really hit a brick wall today, physically and emotionally! Not sure I could take much more. I've been asleep and DH woke me up and then said something not even nasty and I started crying. I've sat here listening to him moan about foot cramp. FOOT CRAMP?!? I'll give you bloody foot cramp mate!

ARGGGHHH, sorry ladies and I know I've not articulated that very well but I AM WELL AND TRULY DONE!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Is it also weird that I am really struggling with not working?

 

[BlossomJ]

Sorry you're ill Melly Hope you're all recovered & well before labour!

Lilah, Sassy, I'm sure I'll go over too. I know I still have nearly 6 weeks left, but I feel less pregnant than I did at 30 weeks with DS. Luckily that means I'm in no rush for her to arrive, as I really want to get everything sorted around the house first & it's very slow progress with just me & DS. I do need to quit with the heavy work though, as I can feel my tummy muscles have just started to split this last couple of days & I don't want them to part too much if I can help it.

I know you're finding it physically tough though Sassy, so I hope your baby doesn't keep you waiting too long!

 

[span]

Aw Sonia I don't blame you for the meltdown. Hope you manage to get some decent sleep tonight and properly recover from today. I keep getting fed up when hubby moans he's tired too whenever I say how knackered I am, even though he's getting loads more sleep than me and has just had 5 days off work.

 

[sassy_mom]

Sonia I am sending you tons of I know how you feel! I know it seems like forever but just hang in there. That baby will be here and you will start feeling back to normal in no time at all!! For now, definitely rest!!! Prop up your feet and have DH take care of you.

Blossom I feel the same ... less pregnant than I did with DD so I think that is why I feel like I will go over. With DD, I was really uncomfortable and now I seem to be handling pregnancy much better. My bones hurt the worst so I seem to be able to function better than last time. It just feels like it FOREVER. lol! It is when my pelvis and hips start grinding that I start counting the days. haha! I can't wait to see all our little beans!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Well, Drs office called. I have positive B Strep, no biggy, just have to tell the nurses when I'm at the hospital so they can give me antibiotics. She also said my blood work was fine and even better than last time, so I guess all this being tired is due to peeing massive amounts during the night.

Aww Sweetie, the struggles for the enjoyment of being a Mommy. You're not alone, hope after a good night sleep you do feel better. Crying is a good thing too, it's gonna make tomorrow feel even better.

 

[BlossomJ]

Sonia - I totally get where you're at. That's what I felt like with DS. I couldn't cope & would cry so easily towards the end & I just felt horrible. Not weird missing work either! Hope you manage to sleep tonight & have a better day tomorrow

Hi Ladies,

Not doing well over here! For sure! Last night I was in the E.R. for elevated blood pressure, migraine, vomiting.. They finally stabilized me and my doctor told me to finish my 24 hour urine this morning, get blood work and come to his office straight away. Baby looks fantastic, they are more concerned about me. My headache has gone way down, but the nausea, even after taking nausea meds is horrendous, and I cant eat. We are waiting on my 24 hour urine and bloodwork to see what to do from here. My blood pressure went down , but it is still elevated for me. I usually run in the 90's, last night it was 140's, not overly exaggerated high, but high for me..

So now I have to call back at 2:30 for results. If it doesnt look good they are sending me to the specialists 45 minutes away from where we live to be monitored and have testing done. He is concerned about the headache and intercerebral hemorrhage (which I DEF do NOT feel that it is) but he said I know it may not sound like a possibility, but your almost full term, and your a long term diabetic and your very brittle right now and I have to do what I have to do, and I have seen it before, so it worries me. He just doesnt want anything to affect baby either, and he wants to make sure its not pre-eclampsia.

Im just so tired, so I am waiting to call and then going from there. Fingers crossed I can just sleep in my own bed tonight!

Oh no! So sorry you had such an awful night! Will be thinking of you girls and praying, hoping everything is alright.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Nikki - sorry to hear that and sending you big big am thinking of you.

Thanks ladies, I definitely need a good cry and an early night. I'm just so irritable and ratty tonight, god knows what's going on!

Is it odd that I actually like this raspberry leaf tea? Lol x

 

[jrowenj]

Og nikki...feel better hun xoxo

 

[AJThomas]

Wow Nikki, sorry to hear u had such a crazy night, I hope theyll be able to get everything sorted out for u and baby can stay in there until full term. The good thing is they're keeping an eye on you so I'm sure everything will be fine. Worst case scenario is u may have a little treasure like Remi

Sonia I like the tea too. Don't feel bad about missing work, its natural that you would after getting used to being out everyday. I totally feel u on the grumpiness, DH gets the side eye everytime he starts talking about some little ache or pain, I'm like join the line!!

 

[jrowenj]

Sonia... have a good cry and let it out!

 

[span]

Sorry you've had such a nightmare time Nikki. Hope the results are good and you don't have to go elsewhere.

Sonia - I also love RLT. I'm also drinking nettle tea as I've heard that can help with low platelets. It's VILE - like pond water. The only way I can drink it is with mint teabag brewed in with it.

 

[darkstar]

Hope you feel better soon Nikki, keep us posted. All that nausea sounds awful.

Sonia it normal to have meltdowns, vent away It will all be worth it when you get that baby in your arms and you'll forget about these last few weeks.

I feel like this baby has moved around a lot in the last 24 hours and I am obsessing over trying to figure out which way he's lying. I don't know why when I have an appointment later today. Now I have myself convinced that he doesn't feel big enough in there. I think I'm losing the plot I blame sleep deprivation, not only do I struggle with insomnia now but OH has been snoring every night and I end up moving to the spare bedroom and reading on my ereader until I can get back to sleep.

 

[Lillian33]

Oh gosh Nikki, I really hope you start feeling better and your test results come back ok. Thinking of you and sending

Big for you too Sonia, as the other girls have said, just let it out! We're always here if you need to vent

Hope you feel better too Melly

We're really all at the end of our ropes arent we, big hugs to everyone!

Blossom, so glad your move went well ours went to plan, I didnt have to lift a finger which was good. I love our new place, so much space and calm peaceful surroundings

Fingers crossed for a head down baby today Darkstar!
