May 2013 Babies

[Tournesol]

I know it's not the end of the world, but this is our first child and I'm just feeling a bit disappointed. It's extra special for hubby as he's adopted so this baby is his only known blood relative.
But there you go! This is the hand that fate has dealt us. As long as he's there for the birth, that's all that matters x

Tour you r very right. We gotta work with the hand we were dealt. My hubby missed our dd1 scans and the 3D one too becaus of work. And then he missed the birth, literally by seconds. She came out and the him and mom just walked in. Long story but I was transferred last minute to high risk hospital and we had no idea I would start crowning on the way let alone deliver as soon ad I got there. Lol very exciting birth story to say the least. What matters is that he will be able to hold your bundle of joy

Sorry I haven't had a chance to read through all of the messages as my son is still sick so it's been insane here . He wound up in the hospital on Saturday with a 105 fever. He's still vomiting and missed yet another day of school. Ugh, he's missed 12 days this year due to illnesses.

Tour I can imagine how tough us it for you to go through all of this. My husband hasn't been able to go to any of my scans or appointments due to work so it truly sucks . I'm hoping he will make it home in time for the birth. My fear is that he will be at work when I go into labor and he won't make it home in time . He works close to 3 hours away so I'm worried. In the end the important thing is a healthy baby. Believe me you'll see. Nothing but hugs to you. Lots of luck tmrw. I hope you have a good scan and that dh has a fast recovery.

 

[MizzPodd]

Courtney oh no!! I hope your son gets better! I'm sorry he has been getting so sick. Is it school germs??? I really hope omi don't end up sick after all of this. That's the last thing you need right now!

 

[Courtney917]

His school nurse actually called bc she was concerned bc he's been sick so often. I asked her if a lot of illnesses were going around school and she said yes. So I am assuming he's picking up all this nastiness from school. She told me to let him stay home tomorrow to so that he can rebuild his immunity even if he is feeling better. So he will be home again tmrw. I'm just hoping this all goes away before baby arrives:-/.

 

[MizzPodd]

Yeah me too. Can't have sick siblings I had a feeling it was the nasty germs from school...my daughter has been with a cold on and off since she started daycare in January! This is going on 4 months and I hate it. I can't wait until I'm medically fit to care for her again... Only a couple more months.

Awww I really hope he gets better soon poor little man did they give you his schoolwork (if they even give out schoolwork).

 

[Tournesol]

Hi! scan went well, everything is good and baby is as he should be. Good measurements and weight. OH's op went well as far as I know, he's sleeping now and has to stay overnight at hospital, so I'll see him tomorrow with lots of lovely baby pictures!
And my Moses basket turned up at last!

 

[MizzPodd]

Aww your baby looks beautiful. Look at those little tiny feet! I'm so happy things r turning around for you... You got your basket an everything!!!! sounds like hubby is doing okay. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly for you Tour

 

[Tournesol]

Thank you hun! Those pictures cheered me up so much today, then getting the basket was a bonus. Forgot about sheets for it though!!

 

[MizzPodd]

Lol I'm sure you can order some and expedite them hopefully!

31 weeks today!!!! Omg one more week to 32 weeks! My next goal!!! Wow the doctors didn't think I would make it this far!!!!!

 

[Tournesol]

It's OK, I just ordered some... and a baby carrier!
I think I now have everything I need!

Yay Mizz! Congrats lady, you must be feeling so pleased with yourself xx

 

[MizzPodd]

Great! See everything is falling into place!!! Yay! Do you and hubby plan on having more babies in the future? I'm still nervous because all my issues but maybe a few years I will have enough courage to try again.
Yes I feel great! Bedrest is starting to wear on me but I keep focusing on how much it will be worth it! Only a few more weeks of this!!! Over 3 months on bedrest wow!

 

[Courtney917]

Yea day care sucks but good thing they get a strong immune system as a result of all of the germs lol. Do you plan on sending her to school of some sort once baby is born?

Yeah he's in first grade and I have the teachers email address so he gives me links to all the lessons he misses and I essentially home school him when he's sick. Lol poor kid...sucks have a teacher for a mom ;-).

Lovely pics tour!!! Baby is beautiful!!! So happy hubby's surgery went well and he's on the road to recovery .

 

[MizzPodd]

I'm taking her out of day care once baby is born because she is only two and I've taught her soooo much without daycare. She is a very bright girl she counts, she knows her abcs she's learning to read words it's amazing how much she has discovered! And I did the work not those day care ppl lol I'm at a point where I feel more comfortable caring for her until she is of preschool age or until I get a job. I am so excited to be able to have her at home with me again and the playground is right across from our house. She can have little friend interactions still

 

[Courtney917]

Thats awesome! I had to put my first son in day care at 22 months and he didn't learn a damn thing I think he actually regressed and has had so much trouble with school . However with my second son I also put him in at 22 months due to work and he learned so much from them! They actually taught him simple sign language! We paid an arm and leg for that place ($1300 per month) but it was worth it. He's now in pre school (he turned 3 in November) and I feel like its a complete joke. I'm actually going to be switching him to a different one in September. I like to start them in a school like setting at 2 (more like 2.5) so they can interact with the other kids and learn how to behave in "school." That's awesome that your daughter knows all of that...good job mommy!!!! . I am so happy you'll be off bedrest soon, have your precious baby in your arms and be able to feel like yourself again, really soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have all come such a long way, I don't know what I would've done without you ladies

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Mizz- As far as having more kids???? No flipping way!!!! I went through a lot to conceive these 3 and I am beyond blessed and lucky to have each one. Not to mention the health issues get worse each time. Trying to get hubby to get a V done so there are no surprises.

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Great pics Tour and yay on finally getting the basket!!! Reminds me I need to schedule a 3D session. Never done one before so I want to go to this elective place before I deliver.

 

[padbrat]

Aww Tour good news for you all round then! Lovely scan piccies and am wishing Hubby a speedy recovery.

Mizz well done you! Bed rest is hard, but look at the rewards you are getting!

Court I hope you and the family are recovering from the bug... bleurgh how miserable!

ILuv yes we are all blessed right now I think x

 

[ILuvBabies200]

I totally wouldn't blame any one of you for wanting more though! Just my choice to stop at 3. Family was mad I even went that far. Like they are raising them...sigh....

 

[MizzPodd]

Court I'm glad you had a good experience with one of your sons she is the so polite and kind and doesnt hit or bite or snatch. She says please and thank you and the daycare giver said the other kids run wild. So I'm very proud of my little mama at home she is nowhere near quiet so I found it ilsurprising that she was so quiet. But her dad was like that in school and in the beginning I was too. This is why in comfortable taking her out because we have been teaching her this stuff and it is rubbing off. Daycare is causing some regression like how she wipes when goes poddy. They must be idiots because they r showing her to wipe from the back as in her toosh when pees. Um she used to know how to wipe before daycare. How can they let her wipe there when she doesn't poop! She needs to wipe the front because she can get an infection from not properly wiping and they don't seem to pay attention. I noticed it last weekend and was horrified. Now we have to re teach her how to wipe. Stuff like this makes me feel like they don't fully pay attention and I know I could a better job lol

Pad yes it is def driving me up the walls but I'm in the homestretch and know I can do it!!! A few more weeks!

Kelly LOL I feel you totally. The same with me is that each pregnancy gets more dangerous and it is scary to imagine being mentally put through this again but in a few years I may change my mind. Depends in the risks. We wanted 4 total so maybe one more would be okay... In the far far future of course! My angel isn't with us but she counts as my baby number 2 so three healthy living may be what we want... Only time will tell.
