...katie...????????????????????

[..katie..]

they do! He looks all gerber baby instead of grumpy old man for a sec. I love it. I love grumpy old man too, but new stuff is fun!


my parents are gone. all week. Oh my god i'm left alone to take care of my own son. whoda thunk it.


Freaking out though. near panic attack. Iiiiiii have severe dependency issues. Oh boy. and in the two hours that they've been gone, I've already eaten more than I have my whole life.

 

[ashiozz]

you will do fine =)

And you normally dont eat much anyways I bet, I know I forget to eat cuz of Tyler, so eating isnt that bad.

 

[gigglebox]

my diet consists of nutragrain bars and gushers, primarily.

EMERALD I LOVE YOU DON'T RESENT ME

Q___Q

seriously, i love all you guys in a way only people who know each other on the internet can! you are my primary social interaction these days and i REALLY don't want to ever piss any of you off. ever.

i got a little video of des smiling and my annoying voice in the background! but my camera is about to die so i'll have to charge it before i upload it. he's also not smiling too much so i might have to attempt to get better squee first.

FORMULA. do you ladies suggest the sensitive stuff? how did you know your babies didn't like the normal stuff? des fusses with no seen cause a lot so i'm wondering if i should switch...he farts a good amount, too.

but he's his father's son so...normal? lol

 

[Emerald87]

I love you too, I don't resent anyone. I was just proud of myself for being so calm this week and just needed an outburst last night.

I just ate dodgy chinese chicken from the hospital canteen - only time will tell if that was a catastrophic mistake lol. In my defence, I was really hungry.
What dodgy shit have you eaten? I want an example of during pregnancy and non-pregnancy

 

[ashiozz]

OH i have a good dodgy food example, my husband was NOT happy about this one.. but in October - we went to Disneyland, I was pregnant, but not showing yet and I wanted to see what halloween was like there, well we had to drive there overnight and we stop at a texico in California to refill the gas tank... I was starving, all they had were expired lunchables, I wasn't going to eat that... so whatd I Do? Made myself a sketchy gas station hotdog... omg.. mitch was ready to kill me.


I did not get sick off of it So I lucked out.

nonpregnant I'm sure Ive eaten many sketchy foods, I got food poisoning one christmas eve off of a hamburger from waffle house.


Laura, I switched Tyler because he literally would not be awake without screaming and I was at my end, so I tried to orange sensetive semilac, he's doing a lot better, its always worth a try.

That and we tried gripe water too but that didnt go over well.

 

[ashiozz]

ALSO, I love you all too **SQUISH**

 

[Emerald87]

I had my first stranger belly rubbing experience. It's a nurse at the hospital I've JUST MET and she said "now you don't have that big coat on, show me your bump". So I walked closer and she's like "Ohhhhh how cute" *GRABS* *RUBS* *COOS*
Lol.
I feel like I've graduated into the "real" pregnant women's club

Ash, that's pretty dodgy eating hehehehe. So far so good, I haven't shat a river (although I'm starting to think that would be preferable than being bound up) nor have I felt nauseated etc. Thumbs up all around!!

 

[ashiozz]

Im fearless when hungry enough. lmao

Aww yay! I never got groped by strangers, just coworkers.. but if strangers started talking about my bump I usually gave them glares, so maybe I was intimidating as a prego? lmao

Tylers trying to sleep but having troubles sleepin

 

[Emerald87]

Restless bub is cute. Maybe not to you, but picturing him shuffling around makes me coo. I'm all clucky.


HELLO HAYS35 - don't think we're not watching you say hi

 

[ashiozz]

you chased the stalker off lmao..

Hes just closing his eyes then openning them, then closing them again, hes at least not fussy, it is cute

 

[ashiozz]

did you talk to your gynecologist ? is he going to have you get a new scan?! 0.o I think its lame the equipment was so messed up at the last one.. sounds like it sucked.

 

[Emerald87]

did you talk to your gynecologist ? is he going to have you get a new scan?! 0.o I think its lame the equipment was so messed up at the last one.. sounds like it sucked.

My gynae called me this evening. I told him the length and that it's likely closed. He said that's good news and now that I have a baseline he wants me in for another scan in ~1 week. He's still concerned if the contractions are "normal contractions" or "worrying contractions". He also told me to call the Mater for an appointment and not take no for an answer lol.
The best thing is, I don't have to be "psycho neurotic Emerald" to him, as he already listens to me. He said if a patient calls him with a concern, he makes sure he follows it up because if they're concerned, there's obviously something to be concerned about. He is the doctor I want to be like. I seriously love him (in a father-figure/mentor sorta way).
I'm completely mellow tonight. He always makes me feel better - funnily enough regardless of if he gives me good or bad news.

EDIT: I would kill for him to be an obs again... seriously... kill

 

[Emerald87]

Oh, and "psycho neurotic Emerald" is what I call myself as I'm very aware of my personality hehe (and I've recently had the honour of adding "too outgoing" to that thanks to Mr. Consultant) - so it wasn't a dig or anything at previous comments.

P.S. I know I was a bit upset this morning but seriously, thanks for your comments girls. I know I'm a bit over the top at times. I know you're just looking out for me and I do have to calm down sometimes *hugs*

 

[ashiozz]

**Squish** we just want to see you ENJOY carrying Kaida, because pregnancy realllly sucks, we all know it, but it sucks more with constant worry, I know that first hand, I know Laura does too

 

[Emerald87]

I have to admit, it hasn't been fun so far and I really want it to get fun. It was suppose to be a "beautiful time" but all it is is pimply skin, cramps, contractions, discomfort, gas, constipation and needing to wee Plus anxiety

I need some Sarah vibes. She's always so positive. I have so much admiration for her but she needs to stop being selfish and pass some awesomeness onto me

11 days and I get Kaida Squee - IN 3D!!!!!!! Can't wait to see her beautiful face. I'll make sure I upload immediately when I get home

 

[Emerald87]

Speaking of Sarah, any FB updates on her little soldier?

 

[Emerald87]

LAURA - can you do me a favour? There's a lady who just got told her bubs has cystic hygroma (sp?) and no one has replied to her thread. Can you please work your magic?

https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/gestational-complications/1013783-cystic-hygroma.html

She needs love. Thanks xxx

 

[ashiozz]

Sarah's baby is back on the ventilator but stable, she had jaundice but I think they turned the light off so i think that has gotten better, thats all Ive heard so far

 

[ashiozz]

Aww laura, I just read what you wrote that girl You're so helpful =) It is good that you had the experience you did with Des. I still see him as special because of all you went through and I admire how well you handled it all, I would have been a seriously bad mess.

Emerald, they tell you pregnancy is supposed to be magical, lmao, while you're pregnant it isn't.. I know =/ Its miserable, but yeah, there's SOME good moments, wait til you can SEE her move.. and it moves your tummeh, that part was awesome. I somewhat miss Tyler being in there sometimes

 

[gigglebox]

i miss the inside movement, too. the end of my 2nd tri was amazing. i felt ok, des was cleared of issues, i could still sleep enough, i could feel baby from the outside, and my sex drive was through the roof! hubs actually had to tell me to chill because i would attack him as soon as he came home from work lol

but pregnancy can really suck. so can infancy lol

i don't think i'll want to do this again...
