On the road again graduates

[Starry Night]

Aw, I love all those nursery ideas! I am imagining them in my head and they all look so pretty. We have a Peter Rabbit/Beatrix Potter nursery with soft yellow walls. Even though it's done already, my mom said she'll get me a few more pieces for the room for the new baby. She has a cross stitch pattern book for Peter Rabbit so she is going to make a decorative pillow with the Flopsy Bunnies on it. I already have two framed cross stitch pictures of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny. I had always wanted a nursery that was 1) NOT Winnie the Pooh and 2)Gender Neutral so I didn't have to redecorate every time (I came up with the idea when I was still hoping for 4 kids)

Ray - you are doing such a great job managing your GD. It's really impressive how well you're doing. And I think there is lots of hope you won't have type 2 afterwards. On another thread I'm in, a girl had GD during her pregnancy and 2 weeks after her baby was born she was already back to normal.

I LOVE Peter Rabbit Starry. That's awesome. I also went with a more gender neutral theme.. one because I am not super into pink myself (Sloane can make up her own mind hahaha) and two because if we end up having a boy second it would be nice not to have to buy a whole bunch of new stuff! It sounds like your LO's room will be beautiful!

Thank you for the support Starry. This has been frustrating to say the least, I am just trying to find different ways to make it better. I am just really hoping since I am 25, not overweight, no family history, etc, that I will be like the woman in your other thread and this will go away after my placenta is out. Both my OB and dietician are confident that this will be the case. I am just trying not to think that I could be binging on Halloween candy and enjoying myself, ha ha. I guess that isn't good for me anyway but it still sucks. The one time in my life I was more willing to treat myself.... and alas... life had other plans.


I am so sorry for the rant. I hope everyone is having a beautiful Monday.

Hey Starry isn't it Thanksgiving today? Happy Thanksgiving!

 

[Starry Night]

Yeah, yesterday was Canadian Thanksgiving but we had forgotten to buy some important ingredients and the stores were closed so we'll be having our turkey dinner tonight. I hope the scan gives us an extra reason to be thankful!

I am so nervous I'm having panic attacks. I can't get on the computer much with my parents here so I might not be able to update until tomorrow.

Here is to a SUPERGLUE BEANIE , and on Angel day , your little ones were looking down on you both xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Starry Night]

I'm so, so happy and relieved. But I also have a major headache and I can feel myself start to succumb to the evening sickness. At least I now know that the sickness is worth it.

As soon as the technician said "it looks like we won't need a vaginal ultrasound today" I knew things were OK. I was so nervous that I had been babbling non stop. I just wouldn't shut up! And then afterwards, I was so happy and excited I still wouldn't shut up. I think I told the technician my whole life story. LOL DH is thrilled too, especially as it's not twins.

 

[Topanga053]

OMG Starry, I am so thrilled for you!!!!!!!!

I got so nervous when I saw you had posted!! I am SO, SO happy that it's such good news!!!! Whew!!!

Like Left pointed out, I love the timing! It's like all of your angels were looking down on this special day and helping out their mom and their little brother or sister!

Starry I'm just so thrilled! I had to say it another time. But I'd also like to say my heart breaks for Cary and Susie and Skyes because they aren't able to join in our enthusiasm. Ladies we are still rooting for you! Your time will come.

[anchor08]

Starry, I am so glad to hear about your good news! My computer was giving me issues so I haven't been able to check in for about a week, so just read and got caught up. I have to admit, I was seriously skimming to get through quickly and make sure everyone was okay!

I'm doing a little better with the pain...it's easing up just a little bit and I'm getting better at handling it (both by taking it easy and by not being as frustrated!). I have this weird looking microwave heating pack that curves around the bottom of my stomach and then has two "wings" that wrap around the inside of my hips...very sexy, let me tell you! But it's my new best friend.

My last appointment was 34+2 and baby girl was definitely breech, so I started going into overdrive on spinning babies exercises, hot and cold packs, chiropractor, and HypnoBabies track for turning the baby. Nothing seemed to help at first, but a few days ago I could tell that she was transverse (I could feel the head in the same place as before, but now the back and bum were across on the other side) which I guess can be an intermediate phase for turning. Now I'm not entirely sure...but she might be head down, so I don't know what to do! The movements and kicks I'm getting are confusing me. I go to the midwife in a week and I don't want to lose all that time not doing something if she is still breech. Feeling more relaxed though -- the doctor said at 34+2 that she didn't have a lot of space and her feet were straight out so he wasn't optimistic about her turning, and he tried to turn her manually (ouch!) and she wouldn't budge, but I've felt enough big movement in the last few days that I'm confident she has room, she just needs to figure out what to do.

Sorry for writing a book, but this has been consuming my attention for a while now! I REALLY want to have a vaginal birth, so this is very important to me at the moment. Bottom line though, she's healthy and growing well so we'll be okay either way!
