May 2013 Babies

[MizzPodd]

My anatomy scan for baby went well. Tech said baby looked good. Still sent scan to radiologist of course so I guess I will hear something? Checked my cervix and it short again 2.5 cm.... Anything over 2 cm is okay but because I was at 4 cm a few weeks ago, and based on my pre term labor I was put on complete bed rest until my next appt which is next Tuesday on the 8th. So we are putting our daughter in daycare for the first time I'm so sad though because my baby won't be with me during the day anymore. I know she will love it though lol
Um I had to cancel my echo appt with cardiology since I'm bed rest so I I have to ask my ob doc about rescheduling once he checks me on Tuesday. Ladies please keep me in your thoughts.... I pray that my cervix gets long again from being on bed rest.
We have to make it we just have to. My baby looked beautiful and healthy and happy. We got over the 18 weeks milestone so I just know we can get to 24 weeks... And then 28 and then 32 at least. That's my goal to get to 32- 36 weeks.

I hope you all are doing good and keep doing good.

Girls!! I just SAW my belly move! That was so strange!

 

[EMTAmanda]

Praying for you mizz!!!

So I've been at doctors appointments pretty much since yesterday with what I thought was a uti...turns our my strong urge to urinate all the time is because my sugar is elevated :-/ so I've been to the midwife, reg doc, hospital for labs, back to the reg doc, and to my counselor...I'm exhausted!!! I did finally find our crib bedding for the little one but I haven't had a chance to order it yet I also picked out my diaper bag and double stroller :-D sooo exciting! And today after eating an orange my whole belly was just a moving all around!

 

[MizzPodd]

Amanda I hope everything turns out okay with the results. Wow I know you must be exhausted but very happy to get some big items purchased! I'm starting at 24 weeks and can't wait

 

[MizzPodd]

Tour isn't it amazing?! It makes your pregnancy sooo real! Just wait until you start seeing body parts poking out, you will love it. I enjoyed feeling dd1 little foot because she always had it poking out or her little bottom would be poking out lol it was cute!

Awww Mizz lovely scan piccie! Are you still team yellow?

Amanda... what a day you have had! At least you know why now... how annoying though.

 

[MizzPodd]

Hey Pad- Yes, I am def still team yellow! Hubby knows, his mom knows, and my close friend knows. My older brother, mother, and I do not want to know. lol I promise you guys I will not break! I am determined to find out when it is time to deliver... speaking of... I am trying not to, but I keep thinking about what if I deliver early again? I pray it will be after 24 weeks at least, but how do I get the thought out of my head?

 

[EMTAmanda]

Ugh I have a cold or virus and feel awful and am at the point of just wanting to cry now because I feel so bad and I swear it seems like every single time I feel bad "so does hubby" I want a damn sick day of my own! Sorry but I'm just overwhelmed

 

[ILuvBabies200]

More BH's today. In so much pain and seriously want to cry. Hoarse voice too probably because dh has been a complete jerk since he went back to work.

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Iluv and Amanda. Hope you both feel better soon.

My little lady is so active lately. Which is wonderful other than she's taken to kicking me in the cervix which is pretty unpleasant! Cheeky girl. I'd rather that than not feel her, although I hope we feet move away from down there before she's too much stronger!

DH is having a rare day out with friends today so I'm having a mega-nesting day which I'm enjoying.

Got loads done already and just popped out and treated myself to lovely bread and salad for lunch so I'm looking forward to that once I've cleared out my dressing table in the bedroom.

 

[MizzPodd]

Amanda i hope you start feeling better soon chick! isnt it your luck that hubby gets sick too

Kelly I'm sorry hubby is being difficult. You were in such a happy spirit the last week or so; he needs to focus more on keeping you stress FREE!! you're carrying his baby after all so it's only fair right. :-/

Cupcake oooooh I'm envious! Hubby will be setting stuff up again due to my best rest. But I have been going crazy saving everything I want on my baby registry! I'm sooo excited to start buying some things! I have the carseat, double stroller and crib picked out. I have other stuff to but those are the big ticket items... My baby likes to kick my cervix and bladder too lol wow babies truly are strong little beings

Afm- Had to go to labor an delivery last night because of the previous stuff I posted about. So everything was okay ladies!!!! Said my cervix was 3cm!!! And closed! Bed rest is helping I think, so I'm still on total bed rest until my Tuesday appt and I'll go from there. Probably staying in it for remainder of pregnancy but this happened with dd1 because of pre eclampsia and other stuf so I am not gonna be surprised if that's what the doc decides next Tuesday. Oh and I'm doing the fun 24 hr protein jug so they can screen me for pre eclampsia due to a slightly elevated blood pressure. I know it sounds sucky but I would rather deal with this again than have preterm labor. I figure it is the lesser of two evils right now; well until I get to the third tri

 

[CupcakeBaby]

That's the spirit Mizz. X

It must be hard being on bed rest. But if its the right thing for you and baby then it's what you need to do.

Well done you for being so postive. Xxxx

I think my cleaning urge is wearing off now. Lol.

Done kitchen, bathroom, our bedroom and sorted the recycling.

Will have a little break and then I have one tiny corner of the lounge left (all my knitting stuff ends up in a mess when I dig through it to find stuff) and then I think I'll treat myself and sew some baby wipes.

 

[MizzPodd]

Cupcake thanks hun! wow you have covered a lot, you really have been nesting! And I know it will be back in the third tri lol hey and there's nothing wrong with taking a break especially after all of that!
Since I'm immobile right now, I wanted make a baby blanket for little one but I have never done it before. Can you direct me on what I need and so forth? Lol sorry if its a lot to ask... I just want something fun and interesting to do.

Did you want to knit or crochet or sew?

For knitting and crochet then the best help you can find to learn is YouTube. I've only been doing it for a few years and most of my knowledge is from YouTube videos and I'm pretty good now.

Then all you'll need it some DK yarn in whichever colours you like and knitting needles or a crochet hook.

Best size for DK weight is about 4mm needle/hook. It's a good size for learning as well.
