PAL Winter Babies 2010/11 - ** Waiting impatiently for our remaining babies! **

Forums New posts
Thanks everyone, yea.. ugh... bigggg baby lol. I have tons of friends down here, so I should be well taken care of :)

YAY Nic! I love the name!!! Hope you get to go home soon!!! I can't wait for the birth story xxxx
 
Love the name Nic - welcome Dillon - hope you're both on your way home.

Is there any news from Kimmy?

Wish, I am sorry about the GD. You know I'm here if you want to ask any questions :hugs:. I promise you it won't seem so bad when you've gotten your head around it - even the diet becomes second nature after a while. Don't worry too much about the size of the baby, if you can get your sugars under control you'll be able to manage the growth spurt. I was also told that plenty of women birth big babies every day (with or without GD) - look at Phillipa and the gorgeous Chloe! I was a chunky 9lbs 1oz at birth and my Mum didn't even tear so please don't worry, just go with what's right for you hun. Have a nosey on the gestational complications thread - I promise you lovebug isn't too big by some standards AND fetal weight is only an estimate from the abdo/head/femur measurements, doesn't take any other things like bone density, long legs etc into account!

Nothing new on her FB Louise x

I'm still in hospital, unable to forcefeed myself fruit as it'll make Dillon colicky :(
 
Drink loads of water - will make you need the loo and you never know what might happen while you're sat there! xxx

Thanks so much Triple :hugs: Do you have any food sujestions? I'm having a hard time finding the right balance of foods. I can't wait for my diet class next week and find out more. I feel like I'm in the dark.. and today is thanksgiving in the states! UGH!

good luck Nic!

xx
 
Oh that's bad luck - although I would say fill your boots with turkey (that's Thanksgiving meal right?) and veg - just go easy on the potatoes and no lovely desserts (although you can make your own with sweetner rather than sugar and you can have cream - yeah!). I have basically changed anything white...bread, pasta, rice etc to the wholewheat variety and cut out anything sugary. It will be a bit trial and error to start with (do you have your blood glucose testing kit already?) - I quickly found out breakfast cereals and tomato ketchup were a no-no. Just to give you an idea of my typical day:

Breakfast: Boiled egg and wholemeal toast
Lunch: Couscous chicken salad with houmous
Dinner: Chilli con carne with brown rice and veg.
Snacks (whenever you feel hungry): nuts, apples and low-sugar cereal bars, cheese and crackers, glass of milk...

I have been able to eat out on this too - just go easy on the carbs e.g. half a pizza and some salad, half a portion of rice with a curry, boiled or new potatoes instead of fries.

Seriously hun, I feel great following the diet - I still have bags of energy, heartburn has totally disappeared and am sleeping like a baby every night. I might just be lucky but I'm seeing this as a positive from something that made be feel really quite upset when I found out.

Should also mention that if you think you have eaten something a little carb/sugar heavy then a 20-min walk will make your body process it quicker - works wonders. I have the most problem with my fasting reading - the one you can't control and I don't have time for a walk in the mornings. All my after food readings are fine - not sure whether this will mean insulin in the long-run or not. I have my next growth scan on Monday so we'll see how its going then.

Good luck and lots of love xxx
 
^^ Just this post, if it makes a difference to Kim, has made starting this thread well worth it. Sorry, it's my hormones, but the support just made me cry!

It might also be relief - literally - as I've now done my 'homework' and will spend the next several hours beggin to be released :)
 
Ah bless you Nic :hugs:. You should feel proud of starting this thread - its been an absolute lifeline for me. When I think back, every single one of us has faced challenges in our pregnancies, on top of the fact we are PAL mummies - just look at us now, babies all over the shop and everyone in the home straight...might start welling up myself...!

Gold star for you on the homework - bet you can't wait to show your little man his new home!

Me too, I know I don't post much but I feel everyone is so supportive and really understanding of all the worries we have. I feel so happy when each baby is born as it means so much to us all.

Are you and Dillon home yet Nic? x
 
Not yet hon, STILL waiting for the doc to see me :growlmad:

However, Kim & Archie and Kirstie & Cameron are all home! :yipee:
 
:guns: Nic, i was let out without needin a #2, so long as i'd had one by day 3 . . .

:happydance:Kim & Archie and Kirstie & Cameron :cloud9:

i just spent 40 quid on Newlook :)
 
:hi: girls!! I'm back! I got discharged yesterday tea time. We had an eventful first night at home, Archie would not settle but today has been great so hoping for a better night tonight. Am planning on writing birth story tomorrow (visitors permitting - where the hell do they all come from?!) I'm feeling fine post surgery. We are so in love with our little man :cloud9:
 
Oh he is just delicious Kimmy! Love the name too! Can't wait for the birth story - hope the visitors aren't too much! xxx
 
Kimmy - love the pic - he's as cute as can be!! :flower:

hx
 
:wohoo: Kimmy! What a gorgeous fella you got there! I hope he is more settled today and darn those visitors- shut the curtains and turn off the bell I say :LOL:
Looking forward to reading about your birth story and of course more pictures of Mr Handsome!
xxxxx
 
Ollie's had a couple of quiet days ( seems to happen after pg yoga ) but he's made up for it today - he's been wriggling around ALOT all day :cloud9:

hx
 
Making his presence known huh h?! Now I've been told which way my little one is lying I try and work out which limb is sticking out of my tummy! xxx
 
Oh agreed, Archie is tastyyyyyy! Bless him! I'm just waiting for munch to demand yet another snack. If we follow last nights pattern we'll be cluster feeding til 2am, hopefully followed by a decent break. *crosses fingers*

H, glad Ollie is ok, he does like to wind you up, that one!
