Rockin - Love the bump pick! Sorry to hear about the accident...wowzers...I'm always scared something like that will happen when Im pregnant! I hope your contractions have stopped? Do you have any pain in your belly? Poor girl! I am glad that your little one is okay!!!!!

Whitt - wowzers...best rest at 32 weeks and you lost your mucus plug already! I hope everything goes smoother here on out for you...I will say you baby is super cute!!!!!!! Love the pic!!!

Baby is doing great. They couldn't get him on the monitor because he was moving far too much. So they chased him by hand for a few minutes just to get his heartbeat. No contractions while on the machine, so that is great news. Now I just have to take it easy and watch for labor warning signs. That's it. They said I don't have to go full bed rest either since I wasn't contracting on the monitor. Yay.

Here is a picture after several weeks of not posting. 32 weeks 3 days

This next one is at 18 weeks. It's so crazy to see the difference. I can see it at least. I was all bloated at 18 weeks, lol.

Keep us posted guys. You all are freaking me out with these baby issues. I couldn't imagine Denver coming anytime soon. I can't wait to meet him but I definitely would be okay if he even was perfectly on time or even a little late.

It's official... I am SICK! I feel awful, can't breath, and may have never had so much snot come out of my nose in my life. Blah!

 

[whittnie117]

boo for being sick. Hope you feel better quickly. It sucks there isn't much we can do as pregnant sickies.
I hope I don't get sick after being at the hospital the last two days.

Rockin, hope everything is okay with you!

 

[The Alchemist]

Want - you too? You're the 4th person I hear that is sick. I hope you get better soon!

Whittnie - so are you at home now?

Rockin - hope everything is all right at your end too!

 

[whittnie117]

Yea, I am at home now. The baby is fine, I am fine. I just have a list of thing to watch out for and if they happen to contact the doctors. Since there is no contractions on the monitors, they think I am contracting at night and it will only be something to worry about if I dilate more. I'll be going to the doctor every week from now on and will be checked each week. If I dilate any more real soon, they'll send me back for more testing at the hospital. My next appointment is next Thursday.

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Whitt! So glad everything is ok. Keep that baby in there a bit longer!

They kept me overnight at the hospital and I came home Thursday afternoon and slept until this morning. I was exhausted. I've just lied around today. I'm in SO much pain. I'm so sore and I'm pretty sure I've got BH contractions now that when my belly tightens feels awful because of all the internal bruising they did check me and I'm not dilated or effaced so that's good. I just have to rest which I'm finding difficult. There's so much left to do and not that much time left to do it but....it has to wait because I just can't. So I'll be fine I'm sure in a few days and baby couldn't be better so I'm grateful for that. Thanks for all your concern

 

[The Alchemist]

Rock - how hard did the person hit you? That's horrible! Fx everything will be all right.

 

[wantb502]

Rockin and Whit: Glad everything is okay with you and your LOs! So scary!

I'm still feeling like crap. We have our second baby shower today that is co-Ed. It will be fun but I wish I felt better. I have no energy on top of no energy from 3rd trimester. This is rough! I will get Dave to take a photo today; I'm 33weeks! Wahoo!

 

[The Alchemist]

You know what, I've been feeling that extreme wave of fatigue too. I was never this tired in my last pregnancy. All I want to do is lie down on the bed or couch and lounge.

What I really need to do is prepare ds's room. It's a mess in there. Nothing is in order. Frikkin OH is no help, he just doesn't think about things like preparing. Makes me so mad because I'm the only one that pulls an extra leg around the house while he is mostly gone to his car shop.

Anyway, I'll be 33 weeks on Sunday! Want, I'm a day behind you!

oh btw, I don't remember if this has been asked, but who else will be present at your l&d? Y'all won't believe during my labor last time, mil AND fil came to visit WHILE I was 8cm! At that rate, shit hurts! I was sooooo annoyed and angry that they were stupid enough to visit at that time and even more furious at OHfor allowing it. But I wanted to focus on my breathing and labor so I channeled them out - had to. But this time, helllllll no! I'll make sure of it. I dunno...that's just how I feel. I don't need or want an audience to converse casually around me while I'm contracting.

 

[whittnie117]

And Alchemist, I'm a day behind you, lol.

Rockin, good to hear that you are okay and little one is okay. I hope you heal quickly. I know what you mean about there not being a lot of time left. It looks even bleaker on my end for time. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is done and I am really feeling the pressure to get it done, but I can't do anything about it. It's like everyone around here is not even concerned that there will be a baby born sometime in the next 7 or so weeks. So frustrating. Even if they would move the desk out of my room, I'd at least have space for a bassinet. The bare minimum. Right now, that isn't even possible. There is no room anywhere, in any of the rooms for one. Argh...

Want, hope you feel better soon. I am feeling the fatigue too, but I am pretty sure that stems from my FMS. I think it just got worse with pregnancy, lol. Try to have fun at your shower.

Alchemist, I think I will be having OH, my mom, and his mom in the room. Though they all already know that if I ask them to leave because it's too much for me, then they must leave. They said they would respect that, but OH needs to be there so he can massage me and give me ice chips and cater to my every darn whim damnit, haha. Actually, I am more concerned that he can help me stay upright when I try to walk to progress labor. He is a strong man (carried me and held me up when I almost broke my back last year).

Anyone else is to stay in the waiting room until the first hour after birth is over. I want to breast feed during that first hour and then rest for a while, while they do weighing and so forth. While I am resting they can come in and meet him, but I told anyone already that it will only be for a short time and then they must go. I don't want too much overstimulation right off the bat. I get upset easily sometimes and I think that will be a super emotional time for me.

This baby moves so much. I don't think I get any rest at all from it, lol. The one time I did, the nurse woke him up with a sound thing and I don't think he has ever stopped moving since, lol. Does any of your baby's movements feel like they're inside grabbing and twisting your uterus? So much pressure behind it? Not the flump type feeling that I explained before, but more...uh...painful (it's all lower abdomen) and more like they are grabbing and twisting you? So weird.

Helooo ladys first rockin and whitt- holy crap!!! Hope your all ok?? Sounds terrifying

[whittnie117]

Oh Alchemist, a friend of mine told me about Stater Bros diapers and swears by them. I don't know obviously since I've never used them. I don't know if you're going disposable or cloth, but the sale right now is buy one get one free. Thats between 7-9 cents a diaper. Best deal I've seen. This would go to everyone in our group, but I think Stater Bros is a CA company?? Anyhow, just thought I'd let you know before the deal is over. I'm going to get 50 dollars worth. It will be about 15 packs or so.

Thanks...but I DO have stretchmarks lol. I had them since first pregnancy. A few little new ones are on the way too. It gets all itchy. I just moisturize with hemp or coconut oil. Can't stop it but can minimize it so why not eh? How are you doing these days? Wow, can't believe you're getting so close to your big day. Won't be long, cat!

Wow thanks! I will be trying cloth and will also still be using disposables. I'm gonna check that site out. Honestly, I have never heard of stater bros before!!!

 

[The Alchemist]

Randomness - - - I finally found out how to do multiquotes lol.

 

[whittnie117]

Wow thanks! I will be trying cloth and will also still be using disposables. I'm gonna check that site out. Honestly, I have never heard of stater bros before!!!

I think you will be able to view the deal in their weekly ad section, but not be able to see the diapers online (they don't do online shopping, that I know of). I looked them up for locations and it looked like they were all over Orange County and LA County and a bit north as well.

Their normal price is 5.97 for a pack, so it would be two packs for under 6 bucks. Like 7-9 cents a diaper is amazing. I thought the deal I got for 10.87 cents per diaper at babies r us was good! (it was,, but this is better, lol) I am pretty sure it's an in store deal and no coupon is required. They usually run a buy one get one half off. This is the first time I've seen buy one get one free, but then again, I've only been looking since I got pregnant, lol.

Oh and if you have one near you, they have some better prices than some other stores around a lot of times.

 

[cat123456]

Alchemist- thnk u fr asking hunny im okish they sent me home with th strong stuff. Though i hate that tylers getting it aswell iv accepted that some things cant be helped

also how do you do multi quotes lol x

 

[wantb502]

Hey ladies... My baby shower was a blast but I'm suffering today. My cold is now in my chest and I'm feeling ROUGH. We got tons of great stuff. My friend who throw the party is an amazing seamstress and made LO a stuffed octopus. It's so cool! Plus we got several bottle of wine and bourbon! Makes momma happy!

We are keeping LOs name secret and my shitty sister decides to fuck up and scream his name out to EVERYONE at the shower. I was SOOOOO pissed. She's done it twice and my mom has done it twice. They can't keep their mouths shut. Then my sister preceded to cry hysterically and beg for forgiveness. I said " it's over and done, I forgive you... It happened get over it" I said "I'm having a great time with my friends right now and I don't want to deal with your crying hysterics. Go to the bathroom ad clean up" I hate that everything is always about her. She drives my up the freakin wall. And she's 7.5 OLDER than me... Grow the f up!

Alchemist: only DH in the delivery room. I told my mom she couldn't be very far away though in case I need her in there. If he doesn't stay in the right position, I'll be getting a c section anyway so that wouldn't be an issue. My mom really wants to be there, but I think it would be nice just DH and me. We will see how im feeling when LO decides to arrive

Cat: glad you've made it to 35 weeks! I couldn't imagine having to take strong medicine. I've taken Tylenol 3 times since getting pregnant and that was within the last week because I am so miserable. I've only taken: Tylenol (3 times), tums (all the time), and my albuterol inhaler (3 times). I would love to take a Benadryl, sudafed, ibuprofen, and cepachol combo right now to make me feel better, but I don't want to expose LO to that stuff.

I got pictures... I'll post a little later when I actually crawl out of bed and walk down stairs

 

[The Alchemist]

Cat - click on multiquote on each posts you want to quote, then click quick reply right next to it.

And woopty doo.....I woke up with sore throat + runny nose. Ugh....I don't even get sick often..rarely actually. I caught this bug from dd and Blame it on poor immune system in pregnancy. Fml...

 

[berniegroves]

Hi ladies,
Want - glad your shower went well and you got lots of good stuff. But sorry to hear about your sister. It is frustrating when people try to make it about them. We haven't told anyone what names are on our shortlist.

Rockin - so glad to hear you and baby are both okay and you're now at home. Try not to worry about everything that needs doing. You can make a list and prioritise everything, then just focus on the absolute necessities! Baby basically just needs clothes, diapers and a bassinet. Anything else can be sorted after if need be.

Whit - glad to hear you are home also. I really hope baby keeps cooking for a few more weeks for you. Again just worry about the absolute essentials getting done.

It will only be me and DH at the delivery (and the midwife obviously) we aren't close enough to any of our family to want them there. But after going through it once I can see the benefit of having your mum with you as well if you have a good relationship.

Afm - I am 36 weeks tomorrow. I am totally exhausted! Much worse than in my first pregnancy. I'm finding it hard to believe that in a MAX of 6 weeks our new baby will be here! Yikes! Am terrified!!
I'm trying to make some curtains for the nursery at the moment which I e never find before.
