Lola - CONGRATS on the baby girl! So that makes 2 girls and a boy now - for the three of us that know already! Team Pink is in the lead! Can't wait till all of know (that are finding out)!

How much is the cord banking thing? Ia m thinking of doing it,if it isnt thousands I dont mind
xx

It IS in the thousands... unfortunately. I wish we could afford it... but its really not something we can swing and still put food on the table. Basically, you pay for the collection first, which isn't too much - like a few hundred dollars (don't remember exactly). Then you pay for storage every year after that... I believe the first year is the most expensive (a thousand or two), then its a few hundred a year after that I believe. I don't know the EXACTS... but if you search online, you can find out. A lot depends on WHO stores the blood for you, as different companies charge differently...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As far as DONATING goes... not ALL hospitals do it. If you are delivering at a hospital that doesn't participate, you can still donate through a private company... but you have to make sure your doctor is willing to do the collection at no charge for you (or pay them!). Then the company will come and pick up and all that. I asked my doctor and she says its no problem... so I'm happy about that. I figure if I can't use it, I shouldn't let it go to medical waste... hopefully SOMEBODY will get helped by it! The only other issue is that the company will NOT pick up on weekends.. so I have to hope to have the baby Mon - Friday! If I have the baby on a weekend... I can't donate! So - either way, I'm going to register. Then we'll see what happens from there. I actually feel pretty good about the decision to do this. I feel like I'm doing something really nice.... I think that if you aren't keeping your cord blood for yourself, that you should consider donating as well! Its an easy thing to do that will not affect you or baby AT ALL, and could save a life!

So - I had my check-up today. What a relief to hear the baby's heartbeat. I was a little nervous with all my asthma issues on thanksgiving...

I asked about the placenta stuff too, but my OB said that all the specialist sent her info for was that I have an anterior placenta... but when I told HER what he told me, about it being previa, and no sex, and getting re-checked at 20 weeks, and yadda yadda, she told me she is going to call. There might have been a mistake in the info he sent her. She is going to call him tomorrow and let me know what he says. I'm anxious to hear!

There is also another strike against me for my VBAC now. My doc delivers at 2 hospitals. The hospital I delivered at last time no longer accepts my insurance... so that means I have to deliver at the other. My doc says that normally with a VBAC, they like us to register at BOTH hospitals, then when we go into labor, they tell us which one they want us to go to. BUT since I can only go to one, it may be a problem. The hospital insists that the doctor DOES NOT leave the hospital if they have any VBAC patients.... so that means if she has me delivering in one hospital, and other patients at the other hospital, that could create a problem - since she can't go back and forth. She is going to discuss it with the other doctors in the practice and let me know what is decided at my next appt. GRRR.... This vbac thing is really looking BAD for me. But I'm not giving up yet! ANYWAYS....

I really just need to accept the fact that I am getting a c-sec I think. Its really annoying that I don't get a real choice in the matter!

I mean - if it ends up being due to the previa or some other medical reason, I can accept that.... but if its due to which hospital I deliver at... well GRRR. That makes me mad!

Congrats Lola!

We found out today we are having a Girl too! yay!

 

[LogansMama]

Shawnie - Congrats! Wow! THREE girls now! My little boy is gonna be surrounded by girls! Lucky kid!

 

[BabeeAngel]

Congrats Lola and Shawnie... Little girls are so much fun!

 

[DWandMJ]

Congrats to both Lola and Shawnie!
We'll find out in a week and a half... can't wait!

Pink may be starting to be the favorite here, but in personal life, the boys are taking over!

 

[BabeeAngel]

When I had Aubrey it seemed like everyone was having little girls! There are only 2 little boys of the babies from age 2-9 months in our play group... it's kinda strange how that happens!

 

[abz]

congrats lola and shawnie. my 20 week scan is on the 6th january. so i'll be finding out just after christmas

i am so so tired this morning. may have managed about five hours sleep. not sure. i just keep waking up in the very very early hours of the morning (like 3am) and i just can't get back to sleep again. then the alarm goes off at 6am and gah!! not sure how i'm going to make it through work today...

also managed to be sick in my own garden on the way out the house this morning as it is bin day and the smell of everyone's bins hit me as i was walking down the path... and one of the neighbours witnessed what must have looked like me spitting in my own garden. how embarrassing. what was he doing out and about at 6.30am anyway!! ha.

[Moongirl]

Big congratulations Lola and Shawnie - that's soo exciting! it's kinda making me want to find out, but i won't i'll resist (for now!!)

Oh abz - what a shame, not the best start to the day! hope you're feeling better!

Well i'm still as tired as ever - the past few nights i haven't been sleeping as well, waking up through the night etc. But yesterday i had a 30 min nap at lunch time, an hour nap after work and then managed to sleep a straight 10 hours! I woke up bursting for the loo Rubbish thing is that i still feel as tired as i did yesterday

surely it must wear off soon??!

 

[hope&faith09]

Morning Ladies,

Well we will be finding out in a week and a half but pretty sure it will be a boy ... not sure why! Im still tired all the time, still on a mission to get all uni work in before christmas aiming for at least 500 words a day and hopefully i will be done before the end of next week! So much stress but just need to try and relax!

We are still in the process of moving house ... slowly hopefully will have a kitchen soon! Spent the weekend putting up units and now OH is fitting them! hmm fingers crossed it all fits and looks good!

Hope everyone is ok. x x x

 

[Moongirl]

oh my god oh my god oh my god.... i think i just felt my baby move

Just a little vibration down low on my belly but like nothing i've ever felt before...yay!!! I'm all emotional and ridiculously excited now

 

[abz]

ooh congratulations honey

when i'm lying in bed i sometimes think i can feel things, but then i decide it's just because i'm wishing so hard that i can and it's my imagination i can't wait until i know for certain

abz xx
