~S.T.L<3~*Lots of babies, Adoption and Waiting for Beth's BFP! <3

OH, btw... Got my numbers back today--Down to 649... I don't know how much lower they'll get before the bleeding starts, but I feel fine other than a few pains on the left side and thats probably ovary on that side.. :( But other than that--I feel fine. My coworker, J who is pg and giving her baby up--had her u/s yesterday... A girl for her too... Not sure if she's changed her mind on adoption yet, but that's not for me to judge. I will support her decision either way, and just glad to know I can put my feelings of jealousy aside to do so.. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone could have a "Willy-Nilly Baby".. You know, the kind you don't expect but just happens... Wes was one of those.. **SIGH**... Ok, going to FB... LOVE YA'LL!!
 
AND THE VERDICT IS...

Dilated to......

a lousy 1cm still!!! Since last Friday! :grr: Baby's head is high, still has not dropped, Dr said that she might be pushing 8lbs, but as of right now doesn't see any reason that she wouldn't fit. But that they will agree to do a c-section after an hour of labor if that is what I want, or they can let me labor for 4 hours before deciding. It'll be a wait and see thing. The Dr said that once I'm 39 weeks they will strip my membranes, and I said well, that's tomorrow, and she said "no we won't do it until next week" :grr: My next appt is on next Friday.....

Hey Tanya. With Matty I was dilated to 2cm for like 2-3 weeks but he was low so I had my membranes stripped twice. When it was done by my doctor it wasn't that bad, hardly felt it but when the guy at the hospital did it....boy oh boy he had sausage fingers and it really hurt. Even made Josh cringe...still wasn't as bad as when they put in a spec to check to see if my water broke and it pinched...that hurt worse. anyway, not trying to scare you or anything.

It's good that your doctor doesn't see an issue with your delivery.


Steph, my heart is still breaking for you. and it sucks that your co-worker is just going to put her baby up for adoption....I couldn't do that no matter what my situation, it would be way to hard for me. hey maybe you could adopt her?

Beth hope your boys have a great birthday!

Andi, sometimes if your patient all the waiting pays off. When you ask god for patience what does he do...makes you wait.... I'm sorry that your still not feeling good and I for sure see something on all those tests. I didn't know that cysts could give you positive HCG tests....

as for me, I"m good. apparently I've lost 8lbs by just cutting out garbage food and Josh is down 16 lbs. Very proud of him and doesn't it suck that guys lose weight so much easier....not that I've been trying to lose weight but It won't hurt. My BMI went down to like 39 when it was 43 or something. Guess my doctor will be surprised on Monday.

Going to a friends Bday party tonight and it will be just something I do on my own and not with Josh and Matty. Will be nice to have a evening to myself. I will have very few of those when Aly comes.

Hope everyone else is having a great weekend
 
Andi here is a website with some info on cysts causing positive test results

I hope they take care of your issues very cery fast, it seems you are always sick! They need to do something already that is actually going to work. I hope you start to feel better, sorry your in so much pain:(

Beth-happy bday to your boys:) Hope you enjoy your trip to Missouri! I wish I was going! I am from there and ALL my family lives there, I miss it sometimes, it is a beautiful drive up there though:)

Mandy-That is great that you have lost 8 pounds already! Especially being that you are 20 weeks pregnant and have lost that much! Way to go, keep up those healthy habits and you will be where you want to be in no time!

Steph-how are you feeling? I hope the docs are wrong and your levels start increasing:( In God's time keep reminding yourself of that, I know its hard and you just keep asking why but try to put it in God's hands. I know that is prob the last thing you want to hear right now. Maybe it is best to not try for a cycle or 2 to help your body get back to regular cause with as many early miscarriages as you have had here lately your probally pretty weak in that area, maybe not trying for a couple months would help strengthen you to where you could carry full term. How are the puppies?

Tanya-Still 1 cm:( I know you are probally miserable in the summer heat! I hope Emma comes quickly for you! If she strips your membranes next week then she is basically doing it when your 40 weeks right:/ Did she say if there is anything you can do at home to help progress it besides walking or no? She is going to be a little Diva and be fashionablly late then make her grand appearence huh.

Ashley-how is everything with your pregnancy going so far? Any new news with you? How is the rest going? and work? Hope everything is well.

Amanda-Me with sales while pregnant, well it wasnt to bad there were days I would be tired and wouldnt sell much cause id just sit at my desk half asllep but other days I would have lots of energy and would walk around finding customers as much as possible but since I am paid on comission I have ALOT of motivation tired or not to make sales so I can get paid:) Also, I didnt have morning sickness which is a big disadvantage for you I know:( Hope that it is easing up for you and you are feeling better.

As for me, Cameron is 3 weeks today:) His newborn clothes are fitting him perfectly now so I figure he wont be in them to much longer:( I want him to stay itty bitty!! I finally was able to get some stuff done. 2 closets cleaned out sweeping mopping dishes laundry all today:) It is rare I am able to get much done with the baby to take care of but I have come to accept that my house will not look perfect as long as I have an infant lol and I accept it. I lovvvvve my little bugger! David and I were talking about trying for a little girl but he said that wont happen unless by some miracle we end up with 375,000 dollars sitting in the bank so that we could be debt free haha so looks like that may not ever happen lol. I hope no one gets offended by me getting on here talking about my baby, I know some are still trying and I dont want anyone to get hurt feelings or feel down when I talk about my baby. I love you all and love to share things with you and dont want to switch threads. After all this is 'our' thread. Hope you all are ok with it. I only have 10 days well actually about 9 days left before I go back to work:( It is a super super sad feeling and I am dreading it horribly!!! On the possitive side, I just applied for a scholorship and financial aide, I am trying to do the medial billing and coding course online. Have any of you heard about it? I was told alot of hospitals and doc offices are hiring alot for people to do this and they prefer them to do it from their homes, I figure if I can get the degree to do this and keep my other job then maybe I can come up with the 375,000 lol not really but maybe I can get our bills paid off quick and then just do the medical billing and be able to stay home with Cameron by the time he is 2. I am really hoping it works out, I guess we will see. I am jabbering on and on sorry guys, I think it is because I have been stuck inside my house for 3 weeks now and havent had to many people to talk to and hubby has the baby right now (he is sleeping on his chest) so I actually have time to be on the computer uninterrupted lol. But I will end here haha. Hope you all are doing great!!!!!
 
Oh and everyone I put Cameron in a contest that our news channel is doing and I will give you all the link so you can please please please vote for him. 1st place gets a savings for college that grows until he is 18 and is ready for college. Voting starts on the 25th, the link is on my facebook but I will post it here and have the people you know vote to pllllleeeeaaase:)
And I miss feeling him squirm around in my belly so much, I miss being pregnant but I am overjoyed to have him in my arms!
 
I found out why I hurt so bad :( my withdrawel bleed has began thanks bc pills :( grrrr!
 
I'll be okay I duno why my "bleed" hurt so bad this time...but that explains all myc ramping I didn't think I was going to bleed took 3 days to start it all....I guess the Letrozole made it come LOL...CRAZY! OUCH though....but glad it wont last long on the meds ;)
 
Thanks Jenn, I think you and Steph are right, Emma is gonna be a little diva, doing things her way in her own time! And pleeease.... post a new pic of baby Cameron!! Dying to see more of him!

Beth - crossing my fingers for you that you catch that eggy this month! Enjoy your trip to Missouri!

Hope everyone else is enjoying their weekend!

I am dealing with crazy swollen feet and ankles since Tuesday, no matter how much resting I do with my feet up, I just can't keep the swelling down. Dr didn't seem worried about it at my appt Friday though.

Well, I'm gonna finish my breakfast, I'll check in later.

:hugs:
 
I had those swollen feet! The day before I went into labor it was HORRIBLE but it it just water retention:/ When my swelling went down after I had him my blood pressure went down to but it took a whole week, my feet were like triple what they normally are! Just what like 5 more days until you see the doc to strip your membranes then right? And dont go to much off the weight of the baby a freind of mine just had her baby, she was induced at 39 weeks 5 days and her baby was only 5 lb 13 oz! So it all just depends. I tried to upload some pictures but they wont go through so I will try again in a little bit:)
 
Oooo I can't wait to see more pics to!!! :) Today is my 3rd day of Letrozole...only 2 more days to go then start my injections on this final last cycle :) I'm ready to be pregnant or be done already LOL....i'll update more later on hubby's laptop an it isn't thenicest to me....It likes to erase what I type if I bump the mouse! I talk to you all soon :)
 
Ugh it still wont let me, dont know if its my computer or the website but guess i will try again tomorrow.
 
hi all,

back from the OB. Everything is perfect. Aly's HB is between 145-155 bpm. My uterus is measuring at my belly button and the U/S came back showing that everything is perfect. The reason I have to go back on Thursday for another U/s was because they couldn't see the outflow of her heart but my ob said it's nothing to worry about and it's a common problem. my due date is still December 3rd. said that they usually don't change it from what the early us says because that's the most accurate because all babies grow at different rates, unless a later us says that I'm way bigger for my dates or something. The technician didn't put on the results the sex because she couldn't be 100% sure but I'm hoping Thursday will prove more successful.

So I decided that I don't want another shower. I just feel that it's way too close to Christmas and I don't want anyone feeling obligated to buy a gift when so many of my close friends and family are struggling. I'm not going to stop anyone from getting the baby a little something but it's just better this way. My aunt/godmother understands and says that if my mom brings it up to her she will try and talk her out of it. I also feel a little guilty having a shower when all we really need is diapers and clothes....and not even that many clothes because a lot of the onesies and sleepers from matty are unisex. I still have baby bath and shampoo and stuff from when Matty was a baby, since we started with the kid stuff as soon as he knew what it was and wanted to try it. My mom is still insistent on throwing one and I said but I'm I'm not there everyone that shows will be disappointed. She said then I'll have a gramma party and I'll keep everything that's bought at my house....the thing is I don't know why she thinks the baby will be at her house any more often then Matthew is....I love my mom to bits but I'm not dragging out a newborn all the time, especially in the winter. I still have lots of time and hopefully by September she's give up on it. besides, she lives 5 minutes away...

so it looks like we'll be getting lots of baby girl clothes from friends. My friend Missy (baby's godmother), One of my BF's, her sister had a baby last december so everything will be in season for that, my cousin is looking through her stuff since she's done. My SIL is going to be mailing us some of my nieces things and my friend at Bowling, her son is done having kids and he has two little girls....I don't think I'll need a shower after all that anyway....

I did make a registry though in case people ask me if there is anything...that way I don't tell people the same things because of my poor memory.

Andi, I hope that this is the cycle for you. Lots of love

Tanya, Emma may be starting to be a little Diva but I'll bet she'll be a little snuggle bug. I hope Aly is more of a snuggler then Matty was. Can't wait to see pictures of her!!

Steph, how are you doing today sweetie? Hope everything is okay

Ashe & Amanda....how are you ladies doing? Hope Aly's BFF's are kicking and happy. lol! Have either of you gotten set on names yet?

Beth...keep us updated hun!

Jenn...Don't you just love Technology and how well it co-operates? Can't wait to see new pics of baby Cameron and kudos to you for being able to get so much done. I hope I'm that energized when Aly comes.

If I've forgotten anyone I'm sorry.

I'm finally getting to enjoy an ice Cap (ice Cappicino for those that have never been able to enjoy Tim Hortons) but I got it made with Chocolate milk instead of cream...at least it's less fattening. that will be my caffeine for the day...however I try to avoid it all together so not bad.

Doctors scale also said I was only down 2lbs instead of what mine said at home with 8lbs. It's a big difference but their scale could be different because so many ladies use it either way still down. If I can go thru this pregnancy only gaining baby that would terrific...less to lose later.

have a great day ladies!
 
I totally understand where you come from when you say you think its too close to Christmas. I think my youngest 3 babies are going to have to share a birthday party because Myra (2) Dec 8, Hayley (5) Jan 2nd and Trysten (3) Jan. 17th so yea all right there around Christmas so I duno how the heck to do 3 birthdays in a months time LOL this is going to be interesting when we get our girls! Plus our anniversary is Dec 16th, then Christmas right there to....OUCH is all I can say...our wallet will be broken!
 
Jenn, yes, my Dr appt is in 4 days now, and only 5 days til my actual due date anyway. Trying very hard to just be patient, it'll happen when the time is right.

Mandy glad to hear your OB appt went well!

So, yesterday, after I posted, my mom came back from her morning walk with the dogs, and told me that my driver's door window on my truck was busted. I walked out there, and found a rock inside the truck that somebody had thrown through the window! A rock the size of my fist! Oh I was pissed! Broken glass EVERYWHERE!!! It totally sucks, but at least it was my old truck, not the new one! We are sure it was just some stupid kids. But I can't believe we never heard it, because we sleep with the bedroom window open which is at the front of the house, and my truck was parked right outside the window! :grr: So I got to spend the morning vacuuming out all the broken glass. But at the same time, it was a kick in the butt to clean out my truck since we are about to try and sell it anyway.... Needless to say, I didn't sleep well last night, every little sound woke me up.

Steph, Ash, Amanda, how are you all doing??

I'll check back in later, I need to get started on my day before it gets too hot. It's been getting hot so early. Yesterday morning it was pushing 80 by 9am when I was working on my truck - miserable!

that's about how hot it's been getting here...which is surprising considering that your on the other side of the continent. (well I'm more east but not quite east coast but not really in the middle...sorry for the confusion there) we usually go by Celsius though. it's supposed to get as high as 30 today (which would be 86) You would think Cali would be warmer than Southern Ontario....global warming at it's best. on days like that I just stay inside where it's cool.
