Hi girls!

Guess I owe everyone an update and I would love to be caught up; the condensed version of course.:haha::hugs:

First, the fun stuff.

And now the long and drawn out part; I really hate posting about myself like this.:blush:

At 15 weeks, I started bleeding and it was determined I had a complete placenta previa. The doctor told me not to worry about it too much, being as how these things typically clear up on their own, so we were cautious, but not panicking.

Once I hit 19 weeks, I had a bleed bad enough to send me to the hospital for three days and that's when we were told the goal was 24 weeks, but until then, the greater risk was me bleeding to death.:nope:

Since that time, I have been very detached from this pregnancy- fully convinced one of us was going to die.

Pretty much, I have had a big bleed every two weeks, but stopped calling my doctor and the hospital, bc the protocol is always the same. Wait and see if it stops w/in 48 hours and then send me home. Well, the bleeding always stopped and since I live 10-15 minutes from the hospital, I've been more comfortable monitoring from home.

Until two weeks ago, I had my worst bleed yet- my bathroom looked like I imagine a slaughterhouse and unfortunately, I was home alone with the kids. Suffice to say, I scared the living hell out of S and H, and proceeded to drive myself to the hospital.:cry:

Of course, I get there, get hooked up to everything, baby looks good :happydance::cloud9:, but the doctor on call refused to deliver. The recommendation, shoot me full of steroids, wait 48 hours, and send me home.:growlmad: Honestly, at that point I was done. No one could tell me why they wanted to use the steroids- they are only shown to help prior to 34 weeks, if delivery happens w/in the next 48 hours, and bc of my GD, there was a real risk my blood sugar would go through the roof and we'd be presented with a whole new set of problems. So, against medical opinion, I checked myself out of the hospital and went to McDonald's.:wacko: Keep in mind, Indigo gave me permission to leave and I did let N have an opinion.:haha:

I have had 8 different doctors/specialists involved this whole time and none of them could agree on anything. Originally we had a section scheduled for Aug 28, which did not make me happy bc my chances of not having a bleed prior to that were slim to none. However, the high risk doctor was unwilling to change it.:nope:

Luckily on Monday, I saw a different HR doc and after I explained everything to him and added on how I was about to crack- been waiting to die this whole time and I needed to have this kid on the outside now, he agreed we should move everything forward and the section is now scheduled for next Wed, Aug 20.:happydance:

This does also mean H and the new baby will share a brithday!:haha: All N has asked this whole time, well, aside from one or both of us not dying, has been for a shared birthday...so he could save money and only have to buy one cake every year.:growlmad::winkwink:

I'm sure I've left out a lot and this post is probably filled with typos, but, I'm ok with that.

So, someone else, fill me in with everyone!:hugs:
 
WOW, that is a lot B! Glad you are both ok!

Does Henry want to share Birthdays? LOL
 
Omg B I can imagine that if N doesn't have the snip after this we may have another bobbitt on our hands :haha:

Glad you are both still alive! :happydance:

Lol on the shared birthday, that could be fun :happydance::cake:

Do you have a name yet?

Xx
 
Henry is getting so big! A shared birthday could be fun or trouble! I'm sorry you have had such a dramatic pregnancy. I don't want to go thru it again and mine was nothing like that! Just the normal shiz. It will be over soon and your little bundle of joy will make it all worth it :hugs: now that Indi is in Colorado do y'all meet up?
Carolyn is growing and becoming even more of a little drama queen. She has discovered throwing tantrums. Sigh. And No has reared it's lovely head. She hasn't been a great sleeper as of late, but most of the time she is pretty fun to watch. She is getting very attached to my MIL. My husband still isn't out of the dog house. I haven't worn my wedding ring since I took it off. I'm still not feeling it. He has made some effort, but I don't know if I can get past this. Anyhow here's my favorite pic of C lately.

Dmom, why don't you join us on FB? :hugs:
 
Oh wow Dmom I can't imagine what you've been going through!! But the end is in sight, and hopefully in a couple of days you, N and H will be cuddling the new arrival. But how scary...

V she is sooooo cute!! But I'm with you on the tantrums... :growlmad:
 
Thank you girls!:hugs:

V- Cute! :kiss::cloud9: You know, I might be the only person in the world who has never been on FB.:blush: I keep asking Indigo about it and might actually do it one of these days.

Anne- Are you team yellow this time too?:growlmad::cry::haha:

Well, now the boys will not be sharing a birthday; section moved to the 27th. After I pleaded with someone to move it, I started feeling guilty about it. Baby looked good today and so did I...with that info, one more week felt better. Yep, I've lost it.:wacko::dohh:

M- I'm going to have my tubes tied during the section. :thumbup:
 
As someone who shares a b'day with a sibling, I can tell you H will thank you for that in the future! Apparently my brother spent the last few months of my mum's pregnancy with me saying 'pleeeease don't let it be born on my birthday!' *evil laugh*

And yes, team yellow again. You'll all just have to guess for another few months!
 
DMom yes join fb :happydance:
Well I suppose that's good then they will have different birthdays after what conina said :thumbup:

C I think :pink:

C are you on fb?
 
I am but I didn't realise yous had a group. What do I need search for?
 
LL get Conina invited!!!
Dmom, I have un unhealthy relationship with FB, but I love it. Not an unbiased opinion. It's very easy to keep up with my peeps that way. And the format makes it easier to share photos and such. Or to post a topic and respond. Please join us Conina and Dmom! I would love to hear about your pregnancies and to support you both! Maybe it would give me baby fever! Ha.
 
Conina pm me the name on FB and I will gladly add you!
 
Hellllloooooooo! :wave:

Happy V-Day, Conina!

Welcome Matthew!
 
Oh is that Dmom's baby? Welcome Mathew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :hugs:

Happy day Conina :)
 
I know it's scary how quickly it's going. All summer December seemed like ages away, but suddenly in September it's a whole lot closer!!
 
Oh yes happy V Day :happydance:

And well done and congrats to DMom. Hope the delivery all went well. How are S and Henry taking to their new brother?
