So I guess this is my first Nine Month Wait...

[Kelly9]

Not sure about the creams wannabe sorry!

 

[westbrja]

Wannabe - I had a hemorrhoid with DS and yes you can use Preparation H or Tucks Pads. I think its the witch hazel that helps. Also sitting in a bath might help too.

How did all the appts go today?

 

[wannabeamom]

Cheers I got some cream app went well thanks all is ok with baby still my bp was a little high for me but she wasn't overly worried how are you? Xxx

 

[westbrja]

I'm good, just tired. Work was long and busy the last 2 days and I'm glad to be off. My BFF and our kids are gonna spend the entire day at the lake tmw. No boys allowed over 3 years old lol. I'm so excited. We've packed beach chairs, umbrellas, food, and swimsuits. Except I gotta run to the store in the morn to buy a bathing suit top. My bottoms fit from last year but the top kept riding up over my bump lmao. It was fine in my backyard, but I don't think people are wanting to see all that lol. Well off to sleep, got a big day tmw. Nite ladies!

 

[Kelly9]

I have a slew of apts coming up to, had bloods done today, scan tomorrow, prenatal apt monday, midterm monday plus i work all this weekend! Ahhhh I am so sick of studying! It's no where near over either, I start my mental health clinical on thursday and my nursing research course on tuesday! These last 2 and some months are my power busy months to get all my school work done and up to date.

Good news is I was going through the registry and there isn't a whole lot more we'll be needing right away for when baby is born. I just hope I get a few more items I need at my second smaller shower.

 

[wannabeamom]

Ooooh west have a great time at the lake!!! Sounds so much fun wish I was there!!

Kelly hope all your appointments go well keep us updated!

Had a rubbish nights sleep last night got up at 3 for the toilet then baby got hicups and was wriggling and squirming then I couldn't get to sleep so got up...on the plus side did all my cleaning before going to the stables so my house is spotless also whilst cleaning I felt really rough and ended up being sick twice might have a little nap now

take care ladies xxxx

 

[Melsue129]

Wannabe sorry you arent feeling so great but that is probably a sign of something happening real soon... Ive been suffering from the horrible nights too, I cant remember the last time I slept thru the night...

West sounds like you are going to have a great day...

Kelly good luck at your scan, happy you are home with kitty and got just about everything for your lil boy... yayayayaya...

I hope everyone else is going okay...

I went to my appt yesterday - all day yesterday I serious felt like I do on the first day of my period... I felt like I was going to have a bleed from all of the cramps I was experiencing... and then I think I was having braxton hicks contractions along with the cramps.. I had a contraction before the nurse walked into the room and then I told her about the cramps and tightening of the belly and she measured my belly said my belly wasnt contracting then, which I knew... and then we sat down and were talking and I said can you feel my belly now and she said yup your contracting... I just have been going along with my days and keeping an eye on the clock... They were 15 minutes apart then 13 minutes apart at work, then I went food shopping afterwards and its tough to actually watch the clock while shopping ect... and last night and this morning Ive been continuing to get them but Ive been up and about the house doing things so Im not too sure how far apart they are now, I think Im getting less than yesterday unless Im just not noticing them because Ive been busy... and Oh i lost a huge chunk of my mucus plug yesterday but even the nurse said that regenerates and grows back, so I could still go another week or two....

so thats that, ladies... Im just going to continue with my day - going to the local zoo with a few friends so I can walk and enjoy the nice day and my girlfriend is going to take some maternity photos of me, before I pop... still havent see the rest from my photographer, they were done for free so I hate to bug them about them but IM sooooo curious on how they came out....

Hope everyone has a great day!! I'll check in tomorrow....

 

[wannabeamom]

Oooh sounds promising keep us updated!! Hope bubs stays put another couple of days though so you get you June baby

when that happens does your tummy just go tight for a bit then relax? Is it really noticable? Xx

 

[Melsue129]

yes I feel tightness like I cant breathe and then I touch my belly and its really tight - like its squeezing the baby, I feel bad for her when that happens...poor thing if its not fo the real thing then why have contractions and stress the baby out right.. LOL..

I am hoping for that June baby... but when ever she is ready to show, Im ready!!

off to take a nap!!!

 

[Kelly9]

That does sound promising melsue.

My scan went great, we're definately 100% having a boy! Saw the scrotum and 2 descended testicles. Got one good shot in 3d then he flipped over and refused to play ball and show us his face.

I am tried from work and have to study all night tonight then work all day tomorrow. Sigh.

 

[westbrja]

Hey girls! We had so much fun at the beach today. It was sunny and 85.
Kelly - Good luck on ur exam. I have this week off for the Memorial Day holiday. My last class is next Monday. I've decided to take the summer off and spend time with my family and the new baby. It will be my first break in 2 and a half years. Its well needed lol.
Melsue - Hope something happens soon for you.
Wannabe - Have you been getting BH's? A lot of women don't notice them with their first.

 

[Kelly9]

I wish I could take time off. Want to push through though, although sometimes I think if I need bed rest it wouldn't be the worst thing. I have had BH's since early 2nd tri. Oh also I am not sure when our box moves up it's 31+ something I think. It's scary to think we'll be on the second last box soon! Bah! When people ask what my due date is and I say aug 3rd they're like whoa thats soon, which freaks me out!!!!!

I posted a new pic of our man in my journal by the way, if anyone is interested.

 

[dmn1156]

west glad your getting some nice weather i have had rain for the last few days

kelly posted in your journal your scan pic looks lovely

hope your all doing great and having a lovely weekend

afm well the weather is on the cool side which is a shame as we have an air show on this weekend but can see a lot of it from the bedroom window lol. We are doing ok my scar has been hurting a bit over the last few days but think i did too much other than that things are ok

 

[wannabeamom]

West glad you had a great day!!!
Not sure if I have had bh or not, had alot of period pain like pains and parts of my stomach gies hard but not the whole thing so who knows!!

Kelly glad your boy is still a boy lol!!

Dmn hope the scar starts to hurt abit less soon xxx

not much to report from here 15 ish days to go woop woop xxx

 

[meldmac]

Ladies Sorry I've been mia for a bit. I am so rubbish with keeping up with anything lately.

Kelly: Glad you had a great scan!!

dmn: how are you and that wonderful baby of yours?

wanna: Hope everything is well with you!

Melsue: Ooooh so exciting hope to hear that your baby has made an appearance soon!!

West: I'm so jealous wish we had a nice beach to go to, however hubby hates beaches so even if we did not likely lol.

Sorry if I've missed anyone

I'm doing ok, just been up and down emotionally today as I went through all the shower stuff from last year that we got for Devin. I'm happy to use it for his brother but it makes me sad all the same. Sad because I should be using it for him. I'm getting more scared the closer I get to the time I lost him so been trying to focus on other stuff to keep my mind off of it. Doesn't help that the baby has had a quiet day today.

Oh and we've decided on a name!! 100% going to be Colin, but not positive on the middle name. We've thought about using Devin as his middle name sort of in memory of his brother but not sure how I feel about it. But it's either going to be Colin Devin or Colin Patrick after my dad.

 

[Kelly9]

Hey all, taking a quick study break. Midterm will at least be over with by 1130am tomorrow! Very happy about that! Just in time to start my distance course along with my other courses at the university.

Meldmac both of those names are great! DH and i liked patrick for a middle name to but we promised no family names and thats his dads name so we didn't go with it. As for using devin I think that would be nice but my only concern for you would be if it would be a happy reminder or a sad one? Give it lots of thought anyway. Do you mind me asking at what week you had lost devin?

Everyone else HI!

Oh and west our tickers go up at 31+1 so only 2ish more days for me and 4 for you.

 

[wannabeamom]

Hi meldmac!! Nice to hear from you I agree they are bothlovely names, I can't even begin. To imagine how you are feeling but we are all here for you if you need to chat xxxx keep your chin up xxx

 

[meldmac]

Kelly I lost him at 36.4 weeks. It's beginning to be really hard as I'm fast approaching that time. I'm trying to stay really positive though.

 

[westbrja]

Meldmac - I'm sure things will turn out fine for you. It's completely normal to be worried though . My OH doesn't like water or swimming either so that's why my best friend packed up our 4 kids and left the men at home. Her husband and my OH had to work 3rd shift the night before so they slept all day anyway.

Wannabe - Wow down to a couple of weeks! Are you more excited or nervous?

Dmn - Nice to hear from you. Hope all is well your way and try not to overdo it. I know it's easy cuz I had c-sections too, but remember your not even our of your 6 week post-partum period.

Kelly - Man we are getting close too.

AFM - At work today although I can't complain since I had the whole weekend off with beautiful weather.
We've finally decided to have our shower July 17th. Now let's just hope baby stays put until then lol. It was so hard picking a date as our mom's (who are throwing the shower) and us have so much going on this summer between family reunions, work, and holidays. Oh well I guess if baby comes early then our family and friends will be able to meet her, especially the out of towners. Well I'm off to do some work. I love the holidays cuz they are usually quiet and laid back.

 

[Melsue129]

hey ladies.... glad everyone is doing great...

Meld - I love both names... just hang in there you are going to pull thru just fine... I have seen a real decrease in movement with Liana... I have to poke her sometimes to wake her up so she moves around... very nerve raking... just keep an eye on it...

Kelly so glad your scan went well and you saw that little pee pee... lol..

Okay Im sick of BH contractions already - Ive been getting them everyday I start to time them and then they go away its like a total tease..... uuuuuugh.. I keep having wet undies but the dr told me that Im going to have lot of wet undies when her head drops because that cervical mucus has no where to go anymore... plus I keep getting pieces of my mucus plug... sorry for the tmi... I get crampies here and there with the BH contractions.. thats why it feels so much like a tease.... sooooo today we are going to finish up nursery stuff - I got my bedding yesterday soooo cute heres a pic... and then I'll at least pack my bag just in case... fun fun....

Just sitting, wishing, hoping ans waiting...... have a great day!!
