November 2013 Babies!

[LoveSanrio]

So my kids are really trying my patience today. I really don't like to complain about it when they get crazy because I know they are just kids, and my husband works his ass of to allow me to stay home but...O...M...G.

My 7 year old in particular. She has the ability to have a very defiant attitude at times, and today she decided she really wanted to show it off. She got in trouble for something earlier so I sent her to her room to watch tv, play, whatever. Well, she decided she wanted to watch Grease in there... fine with me. Well, her Playstation 2 wasn't doing what she wanted it to do, so her solution? Smacking the crap out of it. I asked her what she was doing, so she decided to lie to me (you would think she would know I see all by now) so because of that and her treating her things with disrespect, I grounded her to her room for the day. Well, she threw a fit about it, went in there throwing toys ect.

Since then she has calmed down, but will not stop yelling across the house trying to talk to me, her sisters ect... so I made her close her bedroom door. UGH... I would just love a quiet day! When I ground her I feel so bad and want to give in because I know she is miserable, but I need to stand my ground so she can learn a lesson!

Thank you for your replys its 12.14 am here cannot get comfy!! Any of u have this if so any tips? X

 

[whittnie117]

Cat, for me there is no 'comfortable'. The one position I am comfy in is on my stomach. Well, pregnancy makes that impossible. Let me know when you figure it out.

I heard that drinking chammomile tea can help.

 

[The Alchemist]

Cat - i dunno about you or if you've already tried it but lots of pillows to support your every joints etc helps. Well, for me. Yep, try drinkingchamomile tea. Other than that, I really don't know are you having discomforts or just can't get comfortable?

Sanrio - aww kids can be very challenging and at almost all ages and stages, I see. They're all equipped with their unique personality. Even with just one for me (one as of now) who is a toddler, seems challenging especially when I don't really understand what she wants as her language hadn't fully developed. She gets mixed up between English and Russian but she's getting better as she us growing. and I definitely understand how you need/want to be alone or just in peace. It's just 3 of us and sometimes OH is like another kid lol. Good lord...sigh. Hope your day will get better!

Alchemist: check out spinningbabies.com
I've started Doing some of the positions to convince LO to move from transverse to head down. I'm worried I'll end up with a c section so I'm trying whatever I can to get him to move. We've got some time.... Babies can turn up to hours before delivering. But check out the website.

 

[The Alchemist]

Want - thanks! The site mentioned belly dancing can help and luckily, I have many years of belly dancing skills. I can't believe I forgot belly dancing is beneficial during pregnancy! The other contents in the site are really interesting. I will have to read more of it tomorrow when I have more time after I drop dd off to her grandparent's house.

 

[LoveSanrio]

She ended up calming down, and everything was fine after that. I did stand my ground and followed through with her being grounded to her room. I am glad I did too, because I can be such a pushover at times! LOL!

I do need a night out of the house without the kiddos I think. It is long overdue. DH and I went to the theaters to see The Conjuring when it came out, but that has been awhile back. Plus we were only out for about 2 hours, so it really just wasn't long enough. I'm thinking dinner and a movie would be nice.

I am currently on the search for a great sitter for the kids to allow DH and I some adult time together on occasion. Have to make time for one another as well to keep a healthy marriage I think.

So sorry you have sciatica I actually had this with all 4 of my previous pregnancies. I would fall asleep on one side and wake up shortly after with intense pain in the hip I was laying on. It was so bad I could barely move, or turn over. When I finally did, and switched sides, I would wake up later like that on the other side. It was awful. I will say that it went away IMMEDIATELY after baby was out, thank goodness.

This time around, there has been no sight of it... so far. I really hope it stays away from me this go around since I already have so much crap going on! I deserve a break!

 

[cat123456]

Thanks for that hun its worse now im on bed rest lol!! My oh has been great cus i hant been able to get th pillows right i use him as a body pillow and end up sticking my leg over him (sorry if tmi) only problem is he gets erm excited and we dtd which fr some strange reason seems to knock me out. Hes like a dog on heat atm every time he comes in the room hes up and ready no idea y cus iv not felt this heavy and unnatractive in ages. Im battling with my weight ,at book in my bmi was 38 and iv lost a stone plus watever baby and waters weigh but cant see it its so frustrating xx anyone else here have weight issues or just me looking at all your pics is making me think just me lol u all look so amazing!! Xxx

 

[Diddums]

Cat, I also have weight issues. My BMI at booking was 40, im jealous of all the lovely bump pics xx

 

[whittnie117]

My bmi prior to pregnancy was 37.5 and I'm now at 42. I WAS losing weight before pregnancy. I'll start losing again once he's here, I'm miserable. I have had sciatica for years in my left leg, with pregnancy it's added the right leg into the mix and my sciatica goes down to my ankles thanks to those periphreal nerves. I toss and turn all night long because my legs fight on which side wants to hurt more, lol. When the baby gets here and if it doesn't go away, I'm going straight to my doctor for steroids. It's the ONLY thing that works for me. Unless it screws up breastfeeding, in which case I'll endure the pain until I'm done. Hopefully your sciatica goes away. I just have the worst luck.

 

[whittnie117]

oh and they tell you to put ice packs on it to reduce the swelling, but I put heat at night because it takes the edge off the pain and I wake up a little better until the next night. That won't work for everyone though.
There are also stretches you can do to help them. they are online
you could see a chiropractor and that may help and they'll tell you what stretches are the good ones for pregnancy.
Sitting aggravates it, so try not to do that so often if you can help it.

 

[cat123456]

Im on bed rest so sitting and laying r order of th day for me. Luckily mine only goes to about my knees and isnt majjjorly a problem all the time its mistly just uncomfortable with some severe twinges e.g when turning over.. In glad im not th only big lady in here that would b severely depressing x

Not TMI at all hun, it take a hell of a lot more than that to offend me
Some men just really love their wives pregnant! I've even had men in public hit on me when I was heavily pregnant before, which was super awkward. My husband isn't anymore attracted to me than normal I don't think, but we certainly still have sex. I feel useless during the act because I am too heavy to move around at all LOL!

I struggle with my weight as well. I never lost all the baby weight I had gained from my first 4 girls, so it just kinda stacked on top of the leftovers each time. With this pregnancy I started to pack on the weight yet again, but then after getting diagnosed with GD that changed. I weighed myself today and I have lost 13 pounds since August 28th! Crazy! I still gain every week because baby gains, so I have actually lost more than that and it will show after I have baby. I was worried about losing weight at first, but my DR says its fine, so I just try to embrace it!

Okay, I gotta rant....

Dunno if it was my hormones. I really don't think so, though. Here me out. Earlier today, I happened to switch the tv channel on to a re-run of MTV Music Award. I normally don't even watch anything celebrity-wise. Anyway, I was just curious what people were talking about regarding Miley Cyrus's performance. I got to see it and okay, I see what people mean by it. She is 20, can't keep her tongue in her mouth, and was twerking. Omg...this twerking that is going on! I said to OH: "wth is she doing, that's disgusting, who cares what age..." - and OH goes: "Good for her, she's just being different". My face went blank. Really? I dunno about you ladies, but that is not being different. I mean, I am all for being unique and different, but I can't seem to swallow the fact that Miley C.'s performance (and videos) were pretty raunchy. I dunno...I'm bothered by OH's comment to that, that he doesn't seem to think there is no negativity to it. And I am probably making it a big deal because I have a child now. A DAUGHTER.

Anyway, stupid, random rant. Just excuse me.

Other than that, I am tired. Dd's got her 18 month check up tomorrow. I hope there aren't any shots due; I am not ready to deal with the crying, makes me want to cry too.

I didn't get a chance to take a Sunday bump pic. Hopefully tomorrow. Baby's been switching position today. Heads up, then down, then up, etc....I can tell by the hiccups he gets.

Okay, this post is so random and pointless. I think I am just lonely. It's almost 10 PM, dd's asleep, OH's at work. I have no one to talk to. Not really a tv watcher either. I thought about baking a strawberry yogurt cake but feel lazy/tired. Oh well, maybe tomorrow. I hope you ladies had a great weekend.

 

[cat123456]

Alchemist wat on earth is twerking?? Will make more sence to me then lol im only 23 i feel so old lol

Love thts an astonishing amount well done i wish id lost tht much lmao x

 

[whittnie117]

Oh, you're not alone Alchemist. I think the twerking craze is disgusting and horrible. I can't imagine having a young girl and having to not only worry about her learning twerking at school because kids as young as 5 are being exposed to it. It's horrific. My OH is much like yours when it comes to not really caring about these things, I just don't think they realize the trickle down effect certain things have.

Cat, 23 is not old. I think when I was 23 I said I felt old too, lol. Now, I'd like to be 23 again.

afm, today was a better day for me. I have been feeling off and dizzy the last few days and I felt better today. I went to poker with OH and of course lost, but I beat out OH so that was fun. It was fun, but it was a bad idea due to having to sit for so long. Holy sciatica hell, batman. So I am just up watching Star Trek until I am so exhausted I fall asleep. It's almost 4 am. At least I will probably be able to kick OH out of bed and take over my favorite spot of being in the middle of the bed laying diagonally, lol. Sometimes I wake up like that anyhow and OH is up against the wall only taking up a foot of the bed.

 

[missjenn]

I don't know what twerking is either...but I think Miley is a Pig now...not just because of the video...but that's definitely the cake topper!

I had my prenatal class yesterday...really glad I went actually...very information and learned a ton! One thing I didnt know is that at 36 weeks I have t get tested for strep B both vaginal and anal....arrrghhh.....I hate the thought of getting that anal part done...when they were showing us what they use my hubby just looked at me and laughed...omg...I thought I was going to die too...but that's our sense of humor. But seriously....so not looking forward to that!

Have my 35 week appointment tomorrow!

Want - I'm the opposite ....I totally want the baby to come now...but I know that he should cook for at least another 2-3 weeks just to be safe! But I am also extremely uncomfortable and starting to feel overwhelmed with work and stuff....so I am just ready to start my life with him!

Okays ladies, we all knew it was coming, I had the babies via emergency c-section on 9-21-13 at 2:44 pm. Baby A left (Gilbert Joseph Martin IV) 3lbs 11oz. Baby B right (Kylie Lovenia Martin) was 1lb 12oz. Both babies are doing well in NICU, but Kylie is breathing on her own and Gilbert needs help with his breathing. They always say girls tend to do better as preemies. Quick birth story: I woke up Sat morning having more BH than usual, so the nurse sent me to L&D for observation. While over there, I told the Doc on duty that I was concerned that I wasn't feeling my baby girl much, I don't know if it was her positioning or what. So they ran the non-stress test and did the ultrasound, both babies were doing fine but the contractions were causing the babies heartrates to drop. The Doc on duty called my Doc at home, my Doc gave the order to deliver via emergency c-section because she was not taking anymore chances. Well they prepped me for the surgery and it went down. A c-section is just as bad as a vaginal to me. It felt like my insides were being pulled out. I kept yelling "what is that? What are you doing now?" The Doctors tried to give me more meds and I said no because I didn't want to pass out, I wanted to see my babies. I just dealt with the pain and pressure. Both babies came out crying. I started crying after I heard that. There were several NICU staff in the room to assist with the babies which was reassuring. Okay now I'm sore as hell, I can't even get up to go potty. I tried yesterday but felt dizzy, so the nurse gave me a bed pan to use. When you have a c-section, they want you to pass gas in order to eat solid foods. I will give more info later. Just wanted to give you gives the heads up
