I'd love to post a shot, but I'm a little tech illiterate. I'm thinking if I put flickr or something on my laptop I should be able to send photos from my phone and post them. Just never done it before and I haven't had any spare time lately! I'll get on it!

I have no idea how to upload from a phone since my phone is a tracfone (Prepaid) and very basic. I just know from laptops XD

Anyway

Amy, amazing news!!! Yes, wait to find out what you're having first It's hard to resist baby shopping however. I got confirmation today that I'm indeed having a boy. Saw his bits on the monitor - oh boy! LOL
You have a little jelly bean, cute photo

Anyway ladies, I'm currently in the hospital under observation. My blog goes into detail as to what happened last night. Short end of the story is, I had a lot of very uncomfortable Braxton Hicks conractions clustered yesterday morning. I decided not to self diagnose and better be safe than sorry so I went into Triage. All looked fine in observation but they did this test called, fFN which determines if you may go into labor in the next two weeks & my test came back positive. The positive portion of the test is unfortunately inconclusive. It's only positive 50% of the time...so I hope I'm the other 50%. As of this morning, my cervix was still long, closed & happy. My BH are back to normal. I do have cramping however from being man handled yesterday with two manual exams. If I can get to the point this week of NO symptoms (including this cramping) I can go home to rest & just observe my own symptoms. It makes me nervous on one hand because then the next two weeks are so important. I got injections of steroids for maturing baby's lungs incase I do end up having this baby early. I really don't want a premie - that's too much for me to handle. I want a full term, healthy baby boy!!!! Lets hope it's a false positive. And I'm hoping tomorrow I can go home! FX

Your entire pregnancy and then some, Barb, you have been in my thoughts. Hoping everything will check out fine. Keep on cooking little baby boy. I'm really hoping/praying things will go fine for you. Just gotta be a mom and tell your little boy, demand him he must stay in the womb for another 7-8 weeks!

And if I do buy anything baby related it'll be neutral. In my heart I'm preparing for another girl that way it isn't a let down or a shock, but I'm just hoping that since this pregnancy is already so different than Claire's that just maybe. My friend (the one I have mentioned before about maybe being psychic) strongly has a feeling it is a boy. Well about 9 or 10 more weeks before I can see if my SIL will sneak me in for a private scan. Otherwise around Jan 22 will more than likely be the gender reveal scan. (Though may be earlier).

As long as this little one is still good after next apt. (Nov. 21st) I may buy some new neutral onesies since I just got a decent coupon in the mail at Target and if I can find a manufacture coupon I'd be paying half price. Can't complain on getting 3 or 5 pack of onesies normally range 9.99 and 12.99 for either 5 or 6.

I just read your blog, Barb and holy cow. I already don't like it when I can't have my doctor since I adore him, and I don't feel comfy with any others but I can only imagine what you went through with all the different ones. Yikes! Glad it all checked out well on ultrasound though!

 

[mowat]

Read your blog Barb---agh! Glad you're doing better today!

So happy your scan went well Amy. Exciting times!

great bump!!!

No positive progress today...my cramps are still present. I think I'm going to be here for a while. I'm waiting to see my OB today after her rounds. I believe she should be coming by. I'm really feeling down today. I'm getting increasingly afraid of my near future, of having this baby early, of not knowing what will happen.
They wouldn't give me an ultrasound today and nothing's sitting well with me. I'm trying so hard to stay positive and that baby will stay inside, but I have this awful, awful feeling like this positive test will be a real one for me. And being here, at the hospital, while safest place to be - it's doing a number on my soul.
Sigh...

 

[butterflywolf]

If I could I'd come visit you Barb and give you a big ol' hug. Like you said you and your baby are in the safest place possible right now. I still hope your little boy stays in there for a little while longer, but time will sadly tell. Keep us updated and as always you are always in my thoughts/prayers.

Oh my goodness barbs I just read your blog I had missed it here I'm so sorry I can't imagine how worries you are thinking of you and hoping symptoms disappear quickly!!!! Xxx

 

[Sis4Us]

Barbs hope everything calms down and UR Lil guys slows down and decide to camp out a Lil longer!!!

I had DS1 at 32-33 weeks and beside a 2wks NCIU stay he's graduating this year!! Hope this HTH!!

 

[mowat]

Thinking of you Barb. Every day counts---you're almost to 30 weeks! Still, hope everything settles and I even hope you can complain about being overdue in 10 weeks!

Hey Barb, not sure if you have been checking on here as well, but I just read your blog post today. I'm glad that the BP medication seems to be working. I'm glad your OB seems to be taking great care of you. And I know the feel of missing your husband, dogs and home while you are in the hospital. I know my hospital allows it, could you see if your DH is able to bring your dog up to see you for a little while?
