Yeah I think I got bigger lol. I'm actually uncomfortable in my ribs now. I have to lay back fully in my recliner to actually get comfy and my back has been killing me but it's my upper back so I'm pretty sure it's from sleeping which I haven't been doing much of this week. I get so sleepy, then I can't stay asleep. Sometimes I lay in bed for hours. And thanks Morgan. It's tough but I'm hoping I can hack it till my due date.

So exciting he felt movement

Thanks! Aww yeah, she's cute, thanks! Obnoxious too hahaha!

She's doing okay, considering. Last update was they gave her the final dose of meds applied to her cervix to try and soften it that way. She never progressed past 1cm 70% effaced with that so they tried inserting a foley bulb into the opening of the cervix. It acts like a balloon and expands but even that didn't help. They finally started Pitocin but she hasn't updated in a little while. Hopefully she'll have a baby tomorrow at some point lol.

Good to hear from you Sonia! Mmm salads here too, what a good thing to crave after being sick for so long Are you feeling better mostly now? And whenever you decide a name tell me for the front page!

Waves- Uh oh.. for me the only way they'll induce is with the foley bulb.. Hope it works if needed! They won't use pitocin bc it makes such strong contractions..

 

[Cowgirl07]

Hope your feeling better Sonia. Nice to hear from u.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Hiiii Sonia!! I crave salads too!! I loooove anything cold! Fruit...salads...Ice cream!!

Rachel-looking awesome!!

 

[wavescrash]

Waves- Uh oh.. for me the only way they'll induce is with the foley bulb.. Hope it works if needed! They won't use pitocin bc it makes such strong contractions..

Well she's only 34 weeks so her body's definitely not ready. Hopefully by the time you get to that point, if needed, you'll be ready enough that it'll work for you

[morganwhite7]

Oh yeah I forgot she's so early! FX'd things go alright and something works for her.. I wanna see a pic when you get one!

Aww Sonia how nice.. And you will have your princess soon enough super exciting.. You're already halfway through! Time flies. I bet you've got quite a bump by now!

 

[frsttimemama]

Rachel, so cute! Definitely a big difference!

Sonia, glad hubby felt movement. First time my hubby felt movement, we went to hug and little man kicked him in the belly. It was wonderful. We'll never forget that for sure!

I'm trying to decide whether to test in the morning or wait until Tuesday (tomorrow is 10 dpo). I only have an Answer strip that comes with the OPK's and 2 FRER's.

So funny that you guys are talking about craving salads, I told DH tonight that a nice big salad with juicy tomatoes and balsamic sounded soooo good then we went to the store and I stocked up on a ton of fruit and got a smoothie haha.

Sonia- thank you! I'm excited too I actually dreamt about a baby boy, but I actually think that's because I went to bed thinking about my friend being in labor with her little boy last night , sure enough, as soon as I woke up and roll over to see if there was and update, her hubby had posted a pic of him less than a minute before lol. Still crossing fingers for a girl, but I will be happy no matter what. I'm so jelly that you and hubbs are already feeling baby so much, I haven't felt a darn thing!

Rachel- you're bump is definitely getting bigger! Too cute!

 

[wavescrash]

In case anyone was curious, since a few people have asked for updates... my friend just posted that she's finally 2-3cm dilated and they just broke her water. I know in both my deliveries, once they broke my water it definitely sped up the process.

With Autumn they broke it around 10:30am and I delivered her at 5:23pm. I pushed for a long time though because I didn't know what I was doing lol. With Hannah, I was admitted to L&D because of a slow leak of my waters and apparently nobody thought to break my water the rest of the way so I kept stalling out (not dilating any more.) I was admitted at 2am, Pitocin started at 4am and they FINALLY broke my water around 2:30ish in the afternoon after a different OB came in for a second opinion and basically told the nurse she was stupid for them not having broke my water completely lol. After they broke my water it was another 1-2 hours before I was ready to push. SO hoping for the same for my friend.

 

[frsttimemama]

I hope something happens for your friend soon! I was in the hospital being induced for about 29 hours before my C-section. I was a mess, and it didn't even hurt much.

I tested. I *THINK* there's a faint line on my FRER, but I'm not 100% sure it's not just line eye. I'm waiting for it to dry.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Oh Sandy- I SO hope this is it for you!!! Xx

Ash-today's the day!!!!

 

[frsttimemama]

Oh Sandy- I SO hope this is it for you!!! Xx

Ash-today's the day!!!!

Thanks, me too! My heart is seriously beating like 1000000 miles an hour. I am gonna be crushed if I'm seeing things. Just saying. Lol

 

[HWPG]

Waves, does your insurance cover all things maternity? What will you have to pay out of pocket for delivery and such if you're on LOA?

 

[TTCaWee1]

Picture!!!!

 

[frsttimemama]

I will just as soon as I get to work. Hubby thought he saw it too after I showed him where I was seeing it.

 

[frsttimemama]

Here it is: Im about 80% sure. I can't see it so much in the pics. Idk.
