wow, Rachel, 9 hours!! Crazy!! So curious to see how Josephine does on the plane...at least I can get up if necessary. feel bad for whoever is sitting next to us..

I really don't think EPo is bad at all...its just a precursor to prostaglandins...but nothing will get baby out if she/he is not ready. I honestly think it helped make my induction easier...

GL Logan and Jen on your appts...definitely getting exciting in here!!

Oh and the APPT went fine, once we got there, Josie cried, but I fed her after and she seems find now...is sleeping and I am icing her chubby little thighs. SHe is also in the 96th percentile for weight at 13lbs 6oz!!, but her height is below average...so she is a fat one!!

32 week appt went well.. bp was 110/80.. weight was 155lbs, gained about 18-20 lbs.. babys hb was good in the 130s-140, head was down wrapped up around the left side.. feet on the right.. makes sense.. lol next appt is in 2 weeks so on the 18th.. then 36 weeks is the group b strep test and an internal, sweep at 38 weeks if i want, and possible induction at 39 depending on what all happens.. Baby will def be here before my due date though..

Awww, Vicki, like everyone said, pickle will come when he's ready. And going 41 weeks isn't that bad, as long as you're not having any complications.

Sarah-- Ikwym, I will be totally shocked if Crumb is a girl, too... But I think Logan is having a boy... and surely not all three of us Team Green-ers will have boys??

Rachel-- sounds like you're having a nice time. Isn't it just the best when everyone oohs and ahhhs over your LO? And so nice to see family, too. Safe travels back.

Andrea-- glad Josie's appt went well.

Logan-- good to hear your appt went well, too. I really don't know whether Crumb or Peanut will get here first!! It's going to be close... maybe even on the same day...

Erika? Anything happening?

AFM... my appt was good. Weight gain good, BP good, iron was low so have to take iron tablets (ugh). Crumb looked "wonderful," so no u/s next time... dr didn't say, but today might have been my last. That's okay, though. Not too much longer before I get a much better view!

In case you don't read my journal, here's my Crumby:

Yay, Stacey, happy v-day!! Wow, that went so fast!! When are you going to take maternity leave?

Had a dream last night that Logan and I got to see our babies and they turned out to be clothespins with smiley faces painted on them. They were wrapped in tiny little blankets. So weird.

Have a good day, everyone!!

 

[FloridaGirl21]

happy vday Stacey!!!

Jen, weird dream!

 

[sept10]

had two sharp low down crampy kinda pains today......could they have been braxton hicks? couldn't tell if my tummy was tight or whether it was just the babies position....they moved when i felt the pain.......

 

[lilrojo]

Happy 24 weeks Stacey.. yay for vday.. another milestone..

Haha Jen funny dream though i would prefer a real cute little baby.. Im getting soooo excited.. to think i could have a sweep at 38 weeks thats in just 6 weeks.. ahhh yay yay yay.. cant wait to meet our babies..

So any of you want to be my labor text buddy.. I know andrea has my number still but she is quite busy now days with little josie.. though jen but we may be too close lol..

Sarah-they could have been bh's.. hard to tell when its not us feeling what your feeling.. wouldnt matter though, not to be harsh lol, as its not real labor.. hope things happen soon though..

 

[FloridaGirl21]

Logan, I can give you my # if you wanna text me and I can keep everyone up to date on your progress.. Let me know if you want it

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Hey, our clothespin babies were cute!... They were just... clothespins...

I'll PM you my number, that way you'll have it, whether the timing works out or not.
PLUS that way I'll know if you have your baby even if I'm in the hospital and there's no internet. ...I still have to find out if they have wi-fi or not.

 

[Sun_Flower]

Happy V day Stacey lots and lots of milestones going on here xxx

 

[QueenVic]

Happy V Day stace !!!

I need a UK lady to txt aswell !

 

[Sun_Flower]

I don't mind being a text buddy, I was Cassies, and I think I get on here a bit more than she does because of only having one baby rather than two! xx

 

[QueenVic]

Thanks Raych pm me your number when u get a min & I'll save it xx

P.S - Ohh how I wish I hadn't watched OBEM last night.. that was a scary one I was crying throughout almost the whole thing.. really shouldn't have watched it.. but its my favourite !!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Lol I watched it and when the little boy was born I was like 'WOAH he's enormous!' and then it turned out he was 10lb 10oz which is only 3oz more than Eden! Made my MIL laugh. Having gone through it I can honestly say that a lot of the women on OBEM make it seem SO much worse than it actually is, so don't worry too much! xx

 

[lilrojo]

Thanks Ysa that would be great.. I can send you my number back to so you know its me.. and you too Jen.. that way i will be covered.. and i can text you if its your section day or the day after or whatever lol.. so you know whats up..

 

[QueenVic]

Oh my god he did look big though didn't he, came out like a small child, hehe

It's when he wasn't breathing, I'm already worried about that happening (amongst other things!) so my heart was in my mouth!

Lots of tears & upset, of course cue steve 'WELL - I TOLD U NOT TO WATCH THIS !!!'

oops...

 

[DrGomps]

Yay Stacey, happy V day!! So exciting!!

Logan, thats exciting that you know your end date isn't too far off!! I bet you will go early too...

Jen, when do you think you will schedule your section??

Having a lazy day here...Josie is doing much better after sleeping most of yesterday and having a little bit of a fever. I iced her poor little thighs after the jabs....her tummy seems to be upset a bit after the rotavirus oral vaccine and she spit most of it up!! I tried to give her tylenol and she spit that up as well.

where is Erika?? Making me think we have another STC baby on the way...

 

[sspencer99]

Thanx guys
Jen I Plan to stay at work as long as I can for the monies lol

Yes obem was upsetting when he came out but he was ok in the end I was shouting at the tv
The second birth had me in floods getting to see his baby before he went on tour

Hmmm yes erika has not been on???? (chin rub) (thinking)

I don't mind being a txt buddy as il need one of me own too

Xxxxxx
