May 2013 Babies

[MizzPodd]

Storm- I was team yellow but because of what happened last time my hubby would like to know so of course I'm going to support him on that! so we will find out January 3rd at the 20 week scan.

Kelly sending many hugs to you! I'm so sorry you just keep having so many obstacles lately. But I'm super happy that through all of it, you've got to see your baby is doing great

Tour congrats on your baby boy!! I am hoping for a boy too, but a girl will make just as happy!!!

Pad I'm excited for you that everything has been going great for you including your thyroids!!! Excellent girl!

Amanda I'm sure you can't wait until your scan!!

Oh so since dec 21 is the "end of the world", I'm looking forward to the ladies with scans that day to post because I will see that nothing changed. Lol I refuse to believe the end is near because we all have beautiful babies cooking and preparing to meet us in may! Whose with me? Oh and we should see whose time is faster as far as time zones. I'm in the US eastern time...

 

[Tournesol]

I'm with you Mizz! I say PAH to the end of the world!

 

[padbrat]

Ya me too.. pah to the end of the world!!

Mizz it is so tough sweety... esp considering what you experienced.. but it sounds like the Drs are taking good care of you... remember this time is not last time sweety xxxx

Tour... oooo poo to MS! How rough...

OMG Amanda that is amazing.... I can't wait to wait to feel that too x

Glad all is ok Mizz! At least they are closely monitoring you. A friend of mine went through a similar situation that you went through with your daughter. She lost her son at 20 weeks due to an infection and preterm labor. She became pregnant right away and they gave her the progesterone shots to prevent preterm labor. Well it worked and she now has a beautiful 5 year old!!! Youre in my thoughts, I'm sure you and the LO will be happy and healthy!!!!!

I'm starting to feel movements everyday now. Little jabs in lower tummy, I love it!!!!! Can't wait to meet my little man! We are going to start shopping after the holidays bc I got rid of a lot of the baby stuff i had bc they were stored in our old garage and got full of mold.

Mizz - I'm so glad that they are being so proactive with your care this time. It must be so comforting for you, and it's scary but you'll get through it and we're all here for you if/when you need us.

Tour - oh sweetie, I'm so sorry your ^&*#ing MS is back. Don't worry about baby and nutrients though, as the Dr in the ER rather *ahem* eloquently explained to me, the baby is more like a parasite (yes, he actually said that) at this stage and it will take what it need from you. All the nutrient business is actually about you and replacing all that baby takes from you, but baby will just take what it needs, so don't worry about your MS in that sense.

Amanda / Court - I'm really jealous of you too! I think I feel something every now and then but I too have nothing to compare it too so am not sure. Can't wait though!

Praying for you mizz!!!

Midwife appointment was lovely today but my progesterone at my last level was 23.6 which was considered normal but the low side of normal :-/ but she said we would just continue to monitor it I took hubby and both sons with me and my midwife showed my 7 year old both birthing rooms so he could see where his sister will be born I call Monday to schedule my anatomy scan!!!

 

[ILuvBabies200]

(((Mizz))) So glad they are monitoring you closely!!! It's all so nervewrecking to go through. Hugs to you!!!

 

[Tournesol]

LOL Manu! My mum, a non practising midwife, described baby as a parasite to me too!
I suppose technically it is, but 'parasite' just makes me think of fleas and ticks and other nasties, not cute little babies!
I haven't been too bad today, MS comes and goes. I've have killer heartburn for the last few days though. I'm think I'm just one of those unlucky ducks who is poorly the whole time.

Has anybody had their 'energy burst' yet? I feel just as tired as ever. x

 

[EMTAmanda]

Tour I am back to feeling human again and go go go! I don't even really feel pregnant lately! I hope you get some energy hun! With ds 2 I was exhausted and SICK te whole pregnancy.

 

[padbrat]

Gotta say Tour I am with Amanda... beginning to feel more human now.

Manu I am sure if you aren't feeling now you will very soon x

AFM we had our Christmas Ball... at Hubby's mess. All very formal. Managed to get into one of my old ball gowns from when we were in Germany and I was much bigger. Even tried it on the morning of the ball and all was good. So merrily got ready and 5 mins before we left put the dress on and got Hubby to zip it up.....he proceeded to rip the bloody zip from the dress!!! And our friends arrived at that moment!! I was furious! So instead I have a long black evening gown that is in a stretchy material ... not what I would normally wear for a formal ball, but what could I do? So I begrudgingly wore that..... of course everyone could see I was pregnant ... it was so obvious I had people asking me all night, but you know what? It was a relief to tell people and even Hubby told people who asked too. What was even nicer was the compliments I got, I was so surprised! We had a great night and I had a little bit of a dance. At one point they had an opera singer sing and baby went nuts! Kicking and wriggling.... my Husband's Dad who has now passed away loved opera. Maybe she has inherited that from him? xx

Anyway I lasted to 3.30 am and was still up at 5am because that is when she likes to wake me!

Ooooo I am a sweet potato today!

 

[EMTAmanda]

Awww pad I'm glad you had fun that sounds like a wonderful night!!!!

 

[EMTAmanda]

Oh yeah! We reache 18 weeks on Saturday and our midwife appointment on Friday was great! I've gained 6lbs so far so not bad (I gained a LOT while preg with ds2) I got to call this morning to schedule our anatomy scan and she said it would be either this Friday or sometime next week :-D

 

[MizzPodd]

Little Chrisna's due date is tomorrow ladies. It is bittersweet for me. I will be nothing but positive tomorrow. The depression started sinking in yesterday but I feel so much better today. Please keep her in your heart on her special day. thank you so much for your support.

Oh goodness had another crazy week. At doctors every few days from issues. But I know this baby has to hold on and keep cooking. I believe we will make full term. Start my weekly shots Thursday. Also getting inhaler I think because I've been out of breath for several days along with racing pulse. So scary because I am healthy for the most part when not pregnant. I was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma a few years ago but I only used the inhaler a couple of months. I pray that that's all that is wrong and not something worse. Just can't wait to be able to breathe normally again. I can tell it may be the asthma thing because this is how I felt a long time ago but only when I exercised. Now it happens when I am sitting still...

I pray all you ladies are doing great. I hope your babies are cooking nicely lol talk to you all in a couple days. (Need some family time for her due date but ill be back)

 

[padbrat]

Aww Mizz... bless you and your baby girl angel Crisna x

Good for you ... stay positive even when it is hard to... our angels watch over us x
