Hi everyone, hugs for all.

Just a quickie, Stacey love the bump pic and scan pic

Cran, congratulations girlie, i've posted all over your journal but i really am so pleased for you

 

[truthbtold]

Jen yes there removing my cerclage at the hospital with a spinal block. I will be 37 weeks 3 days so I think he would be fine but I doubt I will be 4cm so im probably gonna be heading home after a few hours of observation.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Oh, good. I hope everything goes well from that point on and he stays in and bakes as long as he needs to... much as I'm excited for another STC baby!

 

[DrGomps]

Hey, Stacey, well over the halfway mark now!! Woohoo!!

Gomps, how do you do the quoting from several posts?

I feel the same way about the weather-- I'm glad it's warmer, 'cause we can get out and not freeze or worry about getting snowed in or sloppy roads, but it's December and I want it to FEEL like it! Nine days 'til Christmas and it feels like fall.

It worries me a little, too, because I've heard it's going to be a rough winter, and obviously it's not here yet... So I'm thinking when it hits, it's going to hit hard. What if we get like 20 in. of snow when I'm in the hospital? Once we're home, I don't really care, 'cause we won't be going out anyway, but still. No blizzard 'til baby comes home.

Andrea, how long is the frozen milk good for? I wouldn't want to donate it either... you never know what might happen down the line...

I have done SO little today... washed dishes, though. So nice to get them done before they were overflowing out of the sink like they usually are. Energy is starting to come back a little. I'm not sure why I am so sleepy all morning and then feel better in the afternoon and evening. Any ideas?

Jen, you just hit the multiquote button at the bottom to each post you want to reply to and then on the last one hit reply with quote...

Breast milk is good 6 months in the freezer. Definitely not donating it yet.

Yay for more energy...I had none in the third tri...it was rough.

Hi

Been posting inmy journal just because of time rly. I'm happy with everything about the birth tbh. Would have loved it if I could have used gas n air for the initial ctx but that's the only thing. Seriously it's amazing stuff. Was totally stoned after some long ctx.

All good here. Just had first grandparent visits. Where has the day gone tho?!

Can't believe you made it in here...would've loved to have had gas and air..wish they had it here... So glad you are happy with your birth...its hard not to be when you have a perfect little angel in your arms!!

21 week scan and bump

Yay for shopping!! Love your bump and scan piccy!! Hello Ava!!

Morning everyone Well I managed to sleep from 2.30am till 9am this morning, so that's 6 and a half hours of unbroken sleep - bliss! OH did really well feeding her, and she went straight back to sleep in her moses basket afterwards . We had our first formula-fed poop today, there was LOTS of it, and it was mustardy yellow which I think is the colour it's supposed to be. It was pretty soft, almost liquidy, but I think that's more to do with the breastmilk she's still getting (it'll mostly be foremilk which makes poop liquidy) every so often. Still, I'd rather it be like that than have her constipated. She's currently sitting in her bouncy chair going cross-eyed at the mirror.... even when she's all cross-eyed she's still the most beautiful thing in the world

We're off to my grandparents this afternoon for dinner, first time we'll have been out of the house for an extended period of time, but it'll be ok. They've got a moses basket at their house so she can sleep in that when she's tired or when we eat, and no doubt she'll be held for a lot of the time! Hope everyone's having a good weekend

Whoa....6 hours!! jealous!! Josephine goes cross eyed too...I find it funny. and cute.

Morning Ladies.

Congrats Helen ...James is adorable.

Stacey looks like you have a little thumb sucker thats so cute.

Ysa fingers crossed for good bloodwork results.

Andrea that sucks about the bc your poor dh. And if I remember correctly the first few minutes of dtd after having stitches did hurt a little. So dont be alarmed it will stop after the first time or two. Lol.

Vicki its our turn let the race begin lol.

Afm the doctors appoinment went ok. I had my gbs performed so I hope that comes back negative. The cerclage comes out next friday im kinda nervous. The doctor said if my cervix dialates to 4cm then im staying if not im going home to wait it out. I wont get my hopes too high.

I definitely think your next!! Eeks!! Are you ready??

It's hailing here on and off all day, blah...

Stace cute bump and love the scan pic, we got a thumb sucking one aswell aren't they lovely

Erika good luck with your appointment.. I think u will pop before me ! I'm starting to get nervous....

Andrea u havent been put off dtd then ?? hehe

Raych sounds like u had a lovely sleep and seem much happier & relaxed now

AFM have made mince pies, pizza dough, done housework and about to start decorating the nursery! All while steve is at a boys xmas lunch.. something is amiss !!!

you sound like your nesting...I love mince pies!! nom nom!!

Jen yes there removing my cerclage at the hospital with a spinal block. I will be 37 weeks 3 days so I think he would be fine but I doubt I will be 4cm so im probably gonna be heading home after a few hours of observation.

why do they need a spinal for that...sounds extreme...bet you pop soon!!

AFM...tired...Hopefully Josephine will sleep more tonight...she seems to have reverted to not sleeping as much these last couple nights...but today I got my christmas cards in the mail and finished the foot impressions gifts I was making for family members so the clay is drying. Hopefully get all the wrapping done tomorrow. Oh and managed a workout and a shower and did some laundry. Such big achievements!! LOL!!

 

[Isabel209]

hey ladies, i am new to this forum... just got my bfp... anyone due in August 2012?

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Andrea-- Thank you thank you thank you thank you!! I kept hitting multi-quote and wondering why nothing was happening!!

Glad you had no energy in 3rd tri, either. I feel like I shouldn't be so tired all the time...

30 weeks today! Woohoo!! Unbelieveable...

 

[truthbtold]

Andrea since the cerclage has been in since week 11 it could have scar tissues over it or just be embedded in the skin so to make it as pain less as possible they give you a spinal block. But im ready as im gonna get lol.

 

[QueenVic]

Happy 30 weeks Jen, wow you're not far behind !

[Sun_Flower]

Wow happy X number of weeks everyone, we're going to have a whole host of STC babies before we know it!

Ysa, Tracey, how are things going with you both?

AFM I went to a carol service at the local church and left Eden home with Elliot - it was only for an hour but my god I felt like my arm had been cut off!! It was a lovely service though and Ell was fine looking after her which I knew he would be, lol.

 

[sept10]

Morning all,

Rach - glad you've made a decision and all is going well - there is so much pressur eon the breastfeeding here I know exactly how you feel. Im not trying to worry about it too much but i have bought bottles and planning on getting a pump so i'm prepared if bfing doesnt work for us. I think you do whats best for you and your baby - thats all you can do!!

Stacey - Lovely bump and photo!!!!

Jen - we've narrowed girls names down to our top two - either Hannah or Ciara (think you guys might spell that keira). But we still havent ruled out Molly, chloe or Rosalynn. But now DH is gone a bit shaky on Dara as the boys name so weve added in Noah and are considering others...oh dear..poor child wont have a name at this rate!!

Cant believe how far along so many of us are now...scary!!

vick - good luck with the growth scan - from what the sonographer said to me most of the ones she does turn out to be completely normal - the measurement the MWs do is pretty crude to be fair!! Also my friend gave birth a couple of weeks ago - they told her she was going to have a big baby and not to bother with any new born nappoes or clothes - he was born at 6lbs5oz - so just goes to show they dont really know!!

 

[FloridaGirl21]

Stacey, love the bump!

hope everyone is doing well..

I'm on hold right now w/ my DR's office trying to figure out my test results. Had a huge temp rise this morning & I'm pretty sure it wasn't a 'fluke' temp.. But now I'm confused cause it was such a big rise... will update once I know what my levels were.

 

[FloridaGirl21]

levels were 5.4 at 3dpo... the nurse gave me the # & said she'd have my DR call me back when she was free to discuss

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Hmmmm... what does that mean?

 

[Isabel209]

hello girls. thank you so much for the warm welcome. i am 5 weeks today and if all is ok, i am due in end of august. today i spoke with my doctor and said that my progesterone level is low. it is 40 and suppose to be over 60. has anyone experienced this as i am very worried that i will lose the baby. i already had a miscarriage when i was 8 weeks (lost it in sept 2011). i am taking progesterone supplements but dont know if its enough.

i need help

 

[FloridaGirl21]

Hmmmm... what does that mean?

Jen, I'm not sure IDK if I would have done the BW at 7dpo, how much higher my levels would have been last cycle at 7DPO progesterone was 6.5 IDK it's all foreign to me.. hoping to get some answers today from my DR when she calls back.

Isabel, welcome Logan (lilrojo) took progesterone supplements, and honestly, I'm not too sure how it all works.. I mean, I'm having progesterone issues, but am still TTC. If you are on supplements, I'd think that your doing everything you can though

sorry, I'm not much help. I hope you get some answers
