Mid June and July Firecrackers Group Due June/July 2017!

[Gagrlinpitt]

Congrats bbygurl!!

Pretty I'm so glad the shower went well regardless of how hectic is was. You're pictures look wonderful!!

AFM, I had my bilateral breast ultrasound. Thank God that everything looks normal and they are calling the blood "rusty pipe syndrome". I was also given specific instructions not to squeeze either nipple as that can continue to cause the blood. The radiologist was very sweet and very understanding. I'm continually getting Braxton Hicks multiple times a day and now that the doctor told me if I want into labor at this point they wouldn't stop it, dh has been on edge. Thankfully the car seat gets here today so we both can breath a bit and get it installed ASAP. I'm trying not to overdo things but it's difficult when we are trying to unpack the house and get things ready for peanuts arrival..

 

[Weebles]

Congratulations bbgurl!!

Congrats on your new car and hope you feel better soon dobby.

So glad your shower went well and you got some things you needed pretty.

Gagrl, I'm really glad everything looked good, that must be a relief!

And I just noticed Flueky had her baby the same day I had mine. Congrats!

Congrats bbygurl!

[TTCfirstovr30]

Congrats, i haven't signed on for a few days and so many updates!

Doby - hope you are loving the new car

Pretty - Your shower looked so cute

Congrats bbygurl!

Weebles - scary birth story, but hopefully things are getting into a routine with baby girl home

AFM - Baby is now 5lb 12 oz and looking good. I am only 35 weeks so OB says he will be a big baby.

 

[Weebles]

Thanks TCC. My time at the hospital is fading into the past and I am enjoying every last moment with my baby girl. I still feel bad about the first week of her life being in the NICU but she seems to love being home and in our arms. I wish maternity leave could last forever.

 

[lesondemavie]

Congrats bb! Lovely shower pretty! And yay new cars!

36 week appointment went well today. Baby is 65th percentile, so looking at an 8.5lb baby at the end of this. Pretty much what we expected, but I'm secretly hoping that the margin of error is on our side and baby is a bit smaller than that . Dialation checks and weekly appointments start next week! Hoping we'll have my group b swab results by then too.

 

[DobbyForever]

Aww weebles don't feel bad about it. It was out if your control. Just keep enjoying your time now

Congrats ladies on your 35/36 week appointments! Good to hear things are progressing smoothly.

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Well our Doona carseat/stroller got here today and I'm so happy we picked this one.. it feels the same weight as a regular car seat but the fact it already has wheels on it and it's just a push of a button to turn it into the stroller is going to make this much easier. Now we just have to install it and we are good to go!

 

[DobbyForever]

Ooo cool! That's exciting

 

[808malia]

Congrats on your little boy bbygurl!!!

[Gagrlinpitt]

Ugh ladies I need to vent.. I'm just sick to my stomach this morning. An acquaintance of mine apparently miscarried last week at 20 weeks. She has three boys and she was pregnant with a little girl.. I just don't even know how to respond or send my condolences.. losing a baby at 5 weeks was so hard for me.. I can't even imagine half way through a pregnancy.. ugh I'm so heartbroken for her.

 

[DobbyForever]

It's hard because really nothing you say or do will take away her pain. Just let her know you are there for her. If she's nearby, make dinner for her family. My mom lost babies at 20 and 24 weeks and then her first born son at 1 week old. She was very hesitant to really enjoy my pregnancy until I was passed v day. And she lost those babies like 40 years ago

 

[lesondemavie]

One of my best friends found out that her little girl had trisomy13 at 19 weeks. Watching her go through that was so tough, and even now 4 years later it's hard for her to see me go through this pregnancy. Just as I still have a mix of grief and happiness in my heart, she does as well. If she is just an acquaintance, might I suggest that you give her space and time? You're probably not the best person to provide support given that you're a reminder of what she lost. I know with my loss at 8 weeks, I'm sorry from those who had kids or who were expecting just stung more. It felt like women who were in a happy privileged position were just rubbing salt in the wound. I know that was not their intention, but it felt that way all the same. I hated "I'm sorry," and preferred, "fuck loss." Everyone is different though.

Also a girl I follow on YouTube just lost her little girl around 20 weeks. Her channel is Rachelle Swannie. Check it out if you maybe want to understand better what one woman's journey is like and if you think it will help her to feel not alone pass it along.

 

[Gagrlinpitt]

Thanks for the advice ladies. She is on our business team so I don't know her that well, but we are like a huge family. I'm going to check out that YouTube channel now.

 

[second.time]

Gagrlin, that's so hard. It sounds like dobby and lesonde have good advice. There's not much you can do in tough situations like this except offer condolences and take your cues from the grieving family. I think it's sweet that you're thinking about her and trying to respond in the most sensitive way.

 

[Weebles]

Gagrl, I remember when I was pregnant with my son one of my coworkers miscarried. It was the most awkward thing ever, I felt horrible. I just wanted to crawl into a hole because I knew everything about me was a reminder that made her feel worse. I would offer condolences but keep it simple and short. After that I would just give her space. I don't know if that's the right thing to do or not, I just know if I were in that position I wouldn't be able to handle a pregnant woman right away, even one with good intentions.

 

[Flueky88]

Congrats weebles. It is kind of ironic both our girls arrived the same day. I'm sorry you had a rough experience.

Bbyirl congrats on baby boy!!

I'm so excited for more babies to arrive!!

Gag that's a tricky situation. I'm really not sure how to respond to her loss in your situation.

 

[808malia]

Alright, so I just got back from my 36 week appointment and it looks like I will probably have the baby in the next 2 weeks!!! Ahhhh!! Was not expecting that... everything looks good but my blood pressure is still borderline high so... they said if I went into labor today they wouldn't stop it... I'm so nervous now! I have 2 appointments next week, so I guess I just have to wait and see what happens... I am hoping to make it to 38 weeks

 

[lesondemavie]

Hope the bp stays in the safe zone Malia. My friend (Edd 7.13.17) had to go on leave early bc of bp, and it keeps creeping up so they are inducing her next week at 37 weeks. Our other friend is due end of July, but she's having twins, so she's also already on leave and waiting for the babies. I had the earliest EDD, but I have another 2 weeks of work, and looks like I'll be the last to meet my baby!
