TTC and Beyond!

[RobertRedford]

super busy at work so i can't reply to all of you. I will later, promise.

julie, I can't tell you how much i despise the flips. the all in ones and 3.0's are wonderful, but the flips leak like crazy. first hand experience, they're awful! The inserts don't fit in them as well as they should and the fit/ elastic around the legs are just awkward.

Amanda-that's so funny bc I have friends that swear by flips...lol I have heard it often depends on the baby and how they fit that particular child too. Like I said, we are gonna try out different ones and see what we like best.

It must be kid specific!

Morgan- it's called polyhydramnios-just like Rachel has! There could be a lot of reasons. Do you know if you're Rh+ or - ? Try not to stress, I'm sure she's just fine! And beautiful!! Love the pics!!

Julie- mine was 143. The cutoff at my doctors office was 130, but some offices say 135. I've even seen 140. I didn't think the 3 hour was bad at all, just boring!!

Snow day for us-thinking I might take tomorrow off too and give this hip a good rest!!

The snow is up over the dogs head, poor thing is having trouble finding somewhere to potty! He HATES the snow, I literally have to push him out and then hold the french doors closed bc he knows how to open them to let himself back in!! Lol! Hubbs left at 5am to plow and prob won't be home until Saturday! I've got "birthday cake" cookies in the over and gonna make spaghetti and meatballs for dinner you girls should come over and join me!!!

Well Katrina you were right, Google just made me crazy. Scared the crap outta me.. telling me my baby has lots of issues and that cord prolapse (I was born with cord prolapse) is risk with hydramnios..

Doc did say though that hydramnios is the likely cause of all my excess swelling! No pre-e, but they said they'll check the urine sample just in case.

Oh forgot to tell you guys (sorry Waves!) that Marley is head down and locked into place. Measuring @ 32 weeks, and they said she doesn't look like she has room to move, so FX'd she stays that way so I can get my much desired VBAC

My glucose levels were 107, they told me today. So I passed. Sorry Julie

Colette- Thank you, thank you!!! Will check out that thread once I finish everything here at work

 

[Cowgirl07]

Glad she's down.

Alia starts daycare on Tuesday. I realized she doesn't have any vaccinations. Doc does them at 2 months. You think it would be ok for Alia to get them at 6 weeks instead of 2 months?

 

[morganwhite7]

WOOT WOOT.. 2nd 4D ultrasound scheduled for next Friday the 21st at 4:30!!!

Can't wait to see what this girl looks like! Yayayaya!

Nikki- I say ask doc, and if it's healthy then sure!

 

[goldstns]

Julie- the numbers Kara is stating r correct. Usually they use 140 for people that aren't preggo. Most docs do 130-70 as normal for preggos

 

[TTCaWee1]

Morgan - I have polyhydramnios too. My level was 28 cm. Don't google. My dr said that baby looked good and they are just going to keep an eye on it. The other dr scared the crap out of me. How high was your AFI?

 

[TTCaWee1]

Oh and I have ridiculous swelling up to my knees. Pitting edema. No bueno. Doc said I can't work 12 hour shifts anymore

 

[Disneybaby26]

Nikki- I would talk to the doc. Even if the vaccinations are ok at 6 weeks they usually take 2+ weeks to be "active". I'm curious to see what they tell you, let us know!

Rachel- that totally sucks about the edema! Get off those feet lady!!

 

[wavescrash]

Maternity shoot went well however at the end I got the worst period cramps ever. It's been about 3 hours now and while the intensity has lessened, cramping hasn't stopped. Lost more bloody plug and have rectal pressure. On-call ob has us headed to L&D to be safe but not sure what to expect since I need a c-section. My friend said her sister had cramping and was dilated at 35 weeks, also required a c-section so they admitted her as opposed to sending her home to see what happens. Belly keeps getting hard but not during a contraction so I really don't know what to expect.

Keep us updated Amanda!!!! Hope no matter the outcome that all is/goes well!!

Morgan and Rachel, sorry about the swelling I hope you feel better soon and am sure all is well with both of your gorgeous babies.

Yaaay for passing the GD test Morgan!

Nikki, not sure about the vacc. but hope you figure it out!!!

 

[Ingodshand]

Good luck Amanda!! Hope everything goes okay!

So I know that it is really silly, but I have a shower next Sunday thrown by my sisters/mom and a "surprise" work shower next Thursday. I am so excited about both events, but not one thing has been purchased off my registry yet. Hopefully just a lot of late shoppers!

Kara-Your poor puppy! lol Our dogs are only 15lbs, so they always have that problem too. We bought a snow shovel just so we could make spots for them to go!
I think resting that hip is a good idea! The food sounds good too...totally wish I could come enjoy some!

My glucose levels were 107, they told me today. So I passed. Sorry Julie

Thanks Morgan....lol I don't know if my doc uses the 130 or the 140, but I was 15something so I must not have been that far above! Let's just hope I pass the 3 hour! I might bring my Ina May book about breastfeeding to occupy my time..

Nikki-I have no idea, I would call her pediatrician. I'm wondering what they normally have babies do for their 2 month shots since it's not uncommon for them to start daycare at 6 weeks...

Waves-I'm sure everything will be ok, even if they decide to go ahead and take her tonight. Try not to worry!

Sorry about the swelling Rachel and Morgan...I think I've started swelling more. I probably need to drink more water though. The other night I had to use lotion to get my rings off. That's been the only time so far though.

DW and I ran some errands today. I was having braxton hicks by the end of it. So annoying lol
I forgot to post this yesterday! DW gave me my bday present early! I thought it was going to be my push present, but I guess she got impatient lol

Sarah-We had almost nothing come off our registry until the night before the shower lol People definitely wait until the last minute!

 

[TTCaWee1]

Sarah - same thing happened to me. And a lot of people didn't scan my registry. I also got a lot of things that weren't on my registry. I have 3 piles of things that I need to return.

Cute necklace Julie! Oh and my dr uses 140 as a max. I was 121. I had to fast for 12 hours then drink the glucola an hour before my test. Mine was huge - like 16 oz.

Amanda - keep us posted!! I hope all is well!!

 

[clynn11]

Such a cute necklace Julie!!
