[blessedmomma]

so very true ladies!!!

tanikit- i used to feel guilty that i had to go take a shower and be away from the baby, lol! heaven forbid something happen without me. the seat next to the tub idea is a good one i never thought of

shells i was reading your post and thinking same here exactly! and i think mine will surely wait to be induced. even though im only in my 35th week i feel like anytime he wants to come, im ready now! just started feeling that way yesterday, so weird... i have never felt that way til at least 37 or 38 weeks. maybe its all the drama with this pregnancy???

 

[Shell'sAngels]

i am the same... ready!... ok i gotta be honest id like him to stay put one more week, because i wanna get luca's birthday out the way first (next thursday) but then im more than ready! would be lovely if he came out on his own, i feel i have no room left in there seriously!!!

 

[blessedmomma]

i sat on my birthing ball last night for about ten minutes. not a good idea when baby is already very low. my hips, back and pelvic area hurt the rest of the night...

felt like i went on a long walk...

Growth scan and bio went good. He is on the big side though. He is already measuring 5 lbs 9 ozs and two weeks ahead of time. Does anyone know if that means anything for when I will be induced? I dont talk to my doctor about the results until tuesday. Here is the best 3d picture we could get of his face. His hand is covering the side of it.

Yay Brai I love the scan pics!

Tanikit - I sure hope the SPD goes away immediately, though I don't know. I am hoping that it will at least improve once we dont' have all this weight on the inside LOL! I am sure I'll be sore for a few days but hopefully it will resolve quickly. Anyone who has experience with SPD know how fast it goes away?

Blessed, I'm not even having a lot of drama (at least not on the baby front LOL) and I too am ready just any time baby is! I know I'm not 37 weeks yet but man, every day I"m like, I don't care what is still unfinished (nursery, name, etc) I am just ready LOL!

 

[pinkycat]

Yay for good scans.
We seem to be doing well ladies, no really early babies (that we know of)

i had my growth scan today. A student did it so it took ages but she turned the screen away so i couldnt see anything
Baby is still a girl and weighs around 5lbs 5 oz which sounds about right for my babies.

My BP was up and down so they made me stay and lie down for a while. It went from 170/100 but then settled at 140/70 but they let me go home as bloods and urine were ok.

My c-section date is 28th feb they said that is the latest they will leave me, if BP misbehaves it will be brought forward

Shell - I've actually lost almost 10 lbs now...but I am chalking that up to the GD and sugar free diet.....I'm pretty sure none of it is lost from my ass though! I still have almost 40 lbs to lose though

I am so ready for this baby to vacate me......I can't wait to find out on Monday when they are going to induce me for sure.....I should probably start making up some meals to freeze down as well.....

 

[blessedmomma]

yay for great scans ladies!

chrissie- yay for an end date!!!!

ladies- im glad im not the only one ready to be done with all of this

[rottpaw]

Oh, a PS for those of us who've been discussing the hiccups issue and worrying - for what it's worth, today my dr said that "too many" hiccups is a myth. She said any hiccups are fine; even if they happen constantly. She did stress that the best indication of baby's wellbeing is movement, though. She said to look for at least some movement every other hour, and at least 6 movements from baby in any 1 hour where you're paying attention.

At least it made me feel better about the hiccups question, because mine has had hiccups a lot the last few days!

 

[codegirl]

Natty - how exciting!

 

[msarkozi]

That's great Natty. I will find out on Monday when my induction date will be....it will be nice to know the number of days I am counting down, instead of having a range!

 

[Shell'sAngels]

yay for all these induction dates, im hoping to find out on thursday when mine will be too! im not thinking it will be that soon though im guessin between the 21st-28th feb

 

[readynwilling]

So many feb babies!!! Im excited for you all! I still want my march baby LOL.

 

[braijackava]

I am hopefully not until March 1st or around then. I dont think my doctor will change anything with him being bigger? I would still rather stick to my original due date and have him be bigger and hopefully more ready to come out.

 

[membas#1]

our group's babies will be coming soon! natty--glad you have a day to count down to! how exciting!

one question--i know i shouldn't fret over this...but just how does one go from gaining a total of 16 pounds from the beginning of pregnancy to 32 weeks and then between 32 and 33 weeks--a total of 4 pounds gained! I gained 4 pounds this week--i hope that's water weight and not a sign of what the next 7 weeks are going to hold. My ass is getting on the walking bandwagon even though i already walk to work, from work, all around at work--i'm not taking my nightly walks tho because i'm tired more. guess i'll be taking those each night again tired or not. i'll tell DH he has to force me to go regardless and that we have to go 30 min.

wonder if i'm eating more--i feel hungry a lot. okay--i know this is not the end all and probably not a big deal, but i think 4 pounds in a week is a lot...doctor said 'it is, but overall your weight gain has been ideal'. wasn't my doctor as mine got called away to hospital...but i'm sure my doctor would have said the same...

okay--rant done.

 

[blessedmomma]

yay for all the induction dates!!!!!

mine is supposed to be feb 15th, but we are hoping she will let us hold out til fri the 18th. so my ticker shows feb 18th since it has not actually been scheduled yet with the hospital and im pretty sure i can talk her into it. it would just be easier for us being a friday than a tuesday. my DH could take a regular vacation day that day and start his paternity leave the following next two weeks. its easier to have people help out with the kidlets over the weekend than in the middle of the week.

i wish i could have a march baby, but i have come around on the idea of a feb baby. really have no choice now, lol!

membas- i wouldnt worry at all about weight gain. we are almost finished now!
