My glucose screen is Thursday and i am a nervous wreck! If I fail I'm not sure if I can deliver at the birth center :-/ hubby's birthday is Wednesday which I'm really excited about my shower is march 24th and we are supposed to close on the new house by the 1st of march! So I'm super excited!!!!

 

[MizzPodd]

Court woohoo on being 30 weeks! so you must be excited because 2 months you could be delivering!!

Amanda I wish you the best on your glucose test! Congrats on closing on the new house in a few weeks

I take my glucose test next Tuesday. I hope I don't get it again

 

[padbrat]

Yuk I hated my glucose test... Good luck ladies!

Mizz I think I am having another stage of being overwhelmed at it all... So I just won't think about it lol.

He is still being awkward. Last night it felt like he had crammed himself into my upper left side and was having a fight with my ribs. My stomach was all pointed when he turned his back to me and my belly button slid to the right of my belly.... So bizarre!

Amanda you are busy busy busy!

Yay for 30wks court!

 

[MizzPodd]

Pad sounds like your little man is a busy body

I'm 27 weeks today!!!! Omg one more week til my long very long awaited goal of 28 weeks!!! My doc is gonna be estatic at my next appt next Tuesday!!! They've been concerned about me getting there and now I'm only one week away! I pray baby is growing good and my fluid is good and my stitch is keeping cervix from dilating and shortening more. staying positive against any odds!!!

 

[manuiti]

Congrats on 30 weeks Court!

Wow Amanda - you're so busy!

Mizz - I love your attitude and roll on next week & you hitting that milestone you've so patiently been waiting for.

Pad - my boy's been fighting with my ribs too lol. It's so uncomfortable but I love it.

 

[MizzPodd]

Thank you Manu! Then 32 weeks is next goal then 36 and ill be over the moon to get that far!!! How have you been holding up??

 

[Courtney917]

Lots of luck with everything Amanda!!! We sold a house and bought a new one last March...such an exciting time!!!!

Awesome Mizz!!! I'm so happy that everything is looking great for you!!!

LOL Pad, my first baby was close to my ribs but with each subsequent pregnancy my babies have gotten lower and lower. This one I feel at my belly button and that's as high as I feel him. I swore he was breech but nope...I'm just carrying super low!!! We want one more...I'm scared to see how low my fourth baby will be lol. He/She will just slide out when the time arrives lol.

I'm so excited...I am going to buy our stroller on Thursday!!!!!! Since DS2 will only be a little shy of 3.5 years old I am getting the Britax B-Ready with an optional 2nd seat...it'll work out great bc we want the next one pretty close in age to this baby so it'll save us money on buying a full double stroller. Here's a pic of it, let me know what you ladies think:

[manuiti]

Mizz - yeah, I'm doing fine. Just starting to feel a bit cumbersome now and wishing hubby was home. He'll be away again from 34 weeks till around the birth, so that's going to be fun without him around. I just hope and pray that he makes it back home in time for the birth. I've got my mum lined up in case he doesn't but I really would rather that he is my birthing partner.

Court - That stroller looks great and perfect for what you want it for! We got the Britax B-Safe and I love it.

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Hope all is well Mizz! I got for my 27 week visit Monday and will get another cervical length done. Can't believe how far we have come!!

 

[MizzPodd]

Kelly thanks! I hope your cervix is still at a good length and sealed shut!

Afm-Oh goodness. So I went to after hour dentist for tooth pain from a root canal I had done in 2008. It's been hurting over a week with pressure headaches and I never put two and two together. Well apparently it is a re infection and I will need one of two surgeries to fix it. I have to go to specialist tomorrow because the dentist wants me to get seen ASAP becuz it may require drastic surgery. He said it could detrimental to me and baby if left untreated so I am going to see what happens. Either the condition is stable enough where I can wait until after I deliver, or a little bit further like the mid 30 weeks, or asap. I hope an pray its something that can wait until baby is further just in case it requires me to deliver first. Doc have me some numbing medicine to get me trough the night and gave me penicillin to hopefully temporary stop the infection. But he said its not the solution and that I new to be seen by specialist ASAP. so much and more and things just keep piling up. I am becoming numb to all the bad news that I keep getting. I refuse to get defeated this far in, me and my baby will be okay no matter what and I will keep my attitude positive regardless of what happens. Honestly after losing a child, everything else seems like a piece I cake. I got through that (well am getting through it) so I know IC an get through this added on set back!!
Wooh! Feel better getting all of that out!!

 

[cgav1424]

Mizz - you are, by far, one of the strongest mamas I know. It's truly inspiring. I can't believe how many things have been stacked against you, but you just keep knocking them all down. You're my hero! Hope this tooth thing is something that can wait a few weeks.

Amanda - fingers crossed for your glucose test and congrats on closing on the house!

Courtney - that stroller's on our list! I love Britax products so we'll have to see what we end up with. I have yet to buy one single baby item. Lol. I work best under pressure so I'll be blowing up our bank account soon enough!

Manu - I'm sorry hubby will be away again. I hope he makes it home for the birth.

Pad - I'm carrying low so haven't had to deal with any rib kicks yet.

Afm, I'm on complete and utter bedrest for two weeks. Baby's only measuring in the 6th percentile so my perinatologist is hoping that the two weeks of bedrest gets her up to the 10th percentile so I can avoid being diagnosed with IUGR. I'm already losing my mind. It's all fun for the kids for now. They thought it was so fun to pack their lunches for tomorrow. DS even made the cornbread that I had planned on making to go with the chili I made for dinner. I think they'll love doing "mommy's job" until "mommy's job" gets boring. Lol.

Hope you guys are all doing well. xx

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Well that stinks Mizz! I'm thinking your best bet is to get this taken care of now. I would want it done so I could relax. Keep up posted how it goes! (((HUGS)))

 

[MizzPodd]

Thank you ladies! I have appt in a few hours. They booked me right away when I called this morning! I was pleasantly shocked oh I hope it's a simple thing or at least a procedure that can wait. Pray for me ladies. I won't know if its something that needs to be done right away until after this appt.

Cgav rest rest rest!! I think the two weeks will give baby lots of time to grow... And the bedrest will make it better! Keep us updated. I think it's so cute your babies want to do mommys job

 

[manuiti]

Oh Mizz, that really sucks! You are being amazing though, and it is that wonderful attitude of yours that is getting you through this. Hang in there and stay focussed on how worth it all this is going to be when you're holding your little one in your arms. Huge hugs!

cgav - bed rest sucks but anything for baby, right? hope these 2 weeks gets her into that 10th percentile. Big hugs for you too.

 

[cgav1424]

Manu & Mizz - thanks guys! Yes, bed rest sucks, but I will do absolutely anything for my baby girl to be healthy. I have small babies by nature...DS was only 5 lbs 15 oz when he was born at 37+3 and DD was 6 lbs 9 oz when she was born at 38+4. I didn't have a third trimester ultrasound with either one of them so I have no idea what size they were at this stage in their gestation. I do know, however, that even though they were both on the lower end of the growth chart... they were both above the 10th percentile. It's a good thing my OB sent me to this specialist as my fundal height is actually measuring big. Ugh. I'm just so frustrated. All I have to do is feed my unborn baby and give her proper nutrients and I haven't even been able to do that.

Iluv - one more week (almost) down! Roll on week 27 then yay for week 28 and third tri! Wow... even with all the stresses we've been having... I can't believe we're all just about in the last tri!

 

[cgav1424]

Ugggggggh! Just got the call that I failed my one hour glucose test! I have to go back for the three hour, but don't know when to go as I'm on bed rest for two weeks? Soooo frustrating!!!

 

[Courtney917]

Mizz, I am hoping things get better and you don't need surgery!!! Sending positive vibes your way and keeping you in my thoughts!!!

Cgav, that sucks about the glucose test . I hear many women fail it though....hoping the 3 hour shows NO GD!!! I haven't bought anything either, lol. We just finished painting the baby's room last weekend and will be putting up crib by March 2nd. I think I will be buying the stroller tomorrow, I just HATE spending the money but I know its a good deal...I am getting the second seat and stroller for $479 so not a bad deal at all bc I have seen it for upwards of $600 0n other sites.

Hoping everyone is doing well!!!!!

 

[cgav1424]

Courtney, I hear you about spending money. We thought we were done after our DD 6 years ago so gave most of our stuff away. We are literally having to buy everything all over again. I'm going cheap with most things as I know for sure 100% that we are done this time and I don't want to spend loads of money, but I always splurge on the car seat and the stroller. The car seat keeps baby safe in the car so money is no object and I use our stroller a lot and think its worth it to splurge on one good stroller rather than buy stroller after stroller looking for one that's functional.
