Leinzlove's Bump Friends (14 Blue, 12 Pink, 8 Angels) 25 BORN!!

[bec01]

hi all, scan went great today, hematoma nowhere to be seen and the consultant says I'm no longer high risk - and I don't have to have Clexane injections for the rest of the pregnancy as threatened by the midwife! so pretty good all round. I declined the Down's screening in the end though.

Will try and upload a photo tomorrow if the scanner is behaving....back to work in the morning!

MightyMom I would have FREAKED out at that spider!!!!! Where do you live? I will make sure to NEVER go there

snowangel... I don't even understand the garbage can thing. Do they live in some upscale neighborhood where they don't want to look at the cans on trash morning???? So they are spending extra money to pay the town to go up to the house??? With all of the poverty and kids in need etc in this world, that just seems totally ridiculous

bec01 and snowflakes YAY on the great news

madrid and mrskg SO SOON YOU WILL KNOW

AFM I called in sick for work tomorrow. I am nervous my students will go into a panic and think I had the baby when they see a substitute in my classroom but another teacher said she would go in and reassure them. I have a NASTY head cold. Its bad enough that I am up a thousand times a night to go to the toilet, but now I can't fall back asleep because of this stupid cold. So, I figured I would take a day off to relax. Anyone have an opinion on nasal spray? My midwife told me NO with my last pregnancy and I used it anyway and DD came out ok. I googled it and people seem to think it's FINE!!!! I just know I need to breathe, and saline solution doesn't do ANYTHING. So, I figure I am not in the first trimester and I am not abusing using it... thoughts?

Yes it is an uppity community two golf courses and a lot of rich retired people. But I definitely think its something petty to call the cops over. But on the other hand im glad it was something so petty the PO-PO were here for.

 

[Leinzlove]

Erinsmummy: Yay, for your wedding. Beautiful picture, beautiful pregnant bride. I hope you start feeling better.

Twokiddos: You sure have been nesting! I'm glad the head cold is gone and you are getting back to your regular self. I also wanted to tell you I love the name Quinn Parker. It's adorable!

MightyMOM: I can't believe it. A spide in the cozy coupe. My DD loves her cozy coupe, but now I'm always going to be checking for spiders. If she saw one I don't even think she'd scream.

Snowflakes: I'm so happy your scan went perfect. Oh, you may be due last... but we are all in this together till we are all holding our perfect babies! I can't wait to see a picture... Also can't wait for your next scan.

SnowAngel: That is absurd. They shouldn't have called the cops! PEOPLE!

Seaweed: Happy 1 week to Munchkin!! ALREADY!?! How is everything going at home?

Bec01: Your news is excellent! I'm so happy, hun! Thats really good news!!

Sevilla: Feel better! I'm glad your kids will be reassured.

Madrid: Eeeeek! 1 more sleep! I can't wait to know.

Mrskg: Just a few sleeps... I can't wait! eeeek!

AFM: Well, I took Chloe to a pumpkin patch, farm kinda thing. I was there walking through corn fields and around for about 6-7 hours on Saturday. I got really painful stretching and achy hips. Hurt so bad... That continued after a long nap and bath when I got home.

Then... On Sunday, After BD I lay in bed for over an hour with painless contractions. Really? Braxton Hicks after sex? They were uncomfortable and my whole belly tightened up. Not to mention it was hard getting into the mood/groove. I felt so achy and it hurt. BD hurt! WTF?

Not to mention... I'm tired again. NOT NOW! NOT YET! Oh, but I think it's the third trimester on its way. So, happy about that but I really have so much to do. I wish I could get some good no pregnancy symptom weeks in yet.

Regular OB appt. tomorrow.

 

[snowangel187]

Made it to third tri.

 

[Madrid98]

Congrats snow!!

[Mrskg]

yay madrid congrats

 

[Leinzlove]

Happy 3rd Trimester, Snow! I just knew lil girl is going to stay in there and bake.

Madrid- for ! Congratulations! I was finally right for a change.

AFM: Dr. Appt. went great and uneventful. I told him about my braxton hicks after BD. And he said it was normal. I also told him BD has been painful and uncomfortable, also what I figured normal. I'm scheduled for my glucose test on Oct. 23 and then I go to the DR. on Oct. 30. After that I'll start going every 2 weeks. Eeeeek!

 

[Mrskg]

madrid everyone over in pal waiting for your update xxx

 

[seaweed eater]

Congrats on third tri, Snow!!

And congrats on your girl, Madrid!!

And congrats on your uneventful appointment, Leinz Third tri is so close! I know you are dreading the tiredness and such but I'm so excited for you!!

 

[happyface82]

for reaching 3rd trimester snow!!!

Seaweed: Happy 1 week to Munchkin!! ALREADY!?! How is everything going at home?

I know! 1 week!! Things are going pretty great. We are all learning and getting used to each other. He is a great eater and a great sleeper! His temperature has been ok the past couple of days. I still don't feel like I understand what is happening with that or what to expect, but we saw the pediatrician yesterday and she didn't seem concerned about it at all and reassured us that even if it is a little low sometimes that is not dangerous to him.

The only thing is that my blood pressure has suddenly gotten really high. You can still get PE for two months postpartum so this is a little scary. We actually went to the ER on Sunday because I was getting such high readings. The good news is that I am not spilling protein (yet), and they have increased my medication and that seems to be keeping it out of the danger zone for now. I will start seeing a specialist this week. I hate going to doctor appointments now, because I need to be apart from Munchkin for a while, and they always run late and I worry that DH will need to give Munchkin his first bottle. So far it has not happened yet, knock on wood.

But overall, things are amazing. I love our little family so much

Thank you Leinz! I just can't wait to meet this little man. He's been having some parties in there lately! I love this stage where I can feel him wiggling and kicking but it doesn't hurt or bother me yet... except when he kicks my bladder

Glad your appointment went well today! I've been having BH since about 13 weeks and brought it up to my docs too. They said it was completely normal, especially since it's my 3rd pregnancy (really 4th, but only 3rd time going this far)

Scan went great. Baby is looking perfect. Which team are we??? PINK it is!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Congrats to you on an awesome appointment and for being team

Made it to third tri.

YAY Snow!!!! I can't wait to join you there!

Yay, please do keep updating! I'm glad that you aren't spilling protein and that the meds have it under control. How scary! I'm glad Munchkin hasn't had to have a bottle and I hope it can stay that way for as long as possible.

I'm so happy Munchkin is doing great and that you are so happy with your family. I'm also glad that you got reassurance about his temp with the pediatrian. It is a trying time but wonderful.

I really look forward to Zoela's arrival, but I know those first 3 months are going to be exhausting.

 

[twokiddos]

Oh, and Leinz... I wanted to update my next appointment date... October 18th for just a routine check up

 

[nesSAH]

snow: big on being in 3rd Tri!!

madrid: congratulations!!! for

seaweed: How are you and your lil' heartbreaker doing? He is soooo adorably cute!!! How is BFing and also post-pregnancy recovery?

 

[nesSAH]

Seaweed...just read your update
Sorry to hear about your high BP... I hope it regulates soon.

Glad LO is adjusting well and you & hubby are learning along the way- hehehe, that's what everyone does ....
Just remember to sneak in a few naps here and there so you can also get some rest. The first 3 weeks are the most exhausting!!

 

[nesSAH]

It's quiet in here today!!!

Just popping in BnB at work.... and guess who's popped?
Woke up with a baby bump this morning A bit scary how it just popped out of now here...but it's official now

 

[happyface82]

How exciting!!! I can't wait to pop!!

 

[twokiddos]

Anyone else's baby keeping them awake at night already? This baby was SOOOOO active all day yesterday and even kept me up when I was trying to go to bed. Then, this morning, he sorta woke me up.... OK, it was really my full bladder, but once I climbed back in bed, it was Quinn kicking and bouncing around in there that made it impossible to fall back to sleep. Today, he's been a little less bouncy but still active. I'm totally enjoying this as I'm able to feel he's doing well in there BUT I worry he'll continue to beat me up from inside as he gets stronger.

How's everyone else doing today?
