:( That's so sad Ash. People like that should not be allowed to reproduce after they've already fucked up so badly with other children :( :( :(
 
Ashlee I'm so unbelievably jealous of your aunt. I hope his mom doesn't screw it up.
 
Amanda, I am so sorry you have to go thriugh this. Praying for you! !

Ashlee, i cannot even imagine how people like that get multiple chances at children. It disgusts me.

Rachel, that's wonderful news! So exciting! ! Yay!

Morgan, hope you feel better!

Julie, so glad all is well with your pregnancy so far! Yay! :)

Waves, that's tough, bust she seems healthy. Maybe she's just a good sleeper!
 
Julie- I'm amazed you aren't dilated a bit.. you'd think they'd put 50x more pressure on you than just one. It's a good thing though! I'm so interested to see if I'm dilated.. I think they're going to check next week at the group B strep test appt. Have you had that done yet?

Doc said Benadryl to sleep.... ugh but I'm not convinced that's gonna help me stop sniffling/sneezing... I need something to get me through work not put me to sleep and not help my symptoms lol. I guess Dr. Google it is, once again lol.
 
^Thank you thank you!! Sudafed should fix me right up. DH has that new Zzquil stuff.. know if that is ok? Google says yes bc it's similar to tylenol PM but hmm idk..
 
No, I don't know. Sorry!

Ugh I ate Arby's for lunch, and my blood sugar was 163!! :( It is supposed to be less than 120. Dang! I called about ketones and am waiting for a call back. Just :( on all that business. For Pete's sake!
 
I was told I couldn't have sudafed whilst pregnant? I suffered sinusitis pretty badly!

Amanda keeping my fingers crossed for you.
 
Sorry you're not feeling well, Morgan!

Ash, its really sickening how some people can be so stupid and ignorant. Having a child isn't just dealing with an inconvenience, you're raising a human being!

Bloods came back lower than last night--1895. I'm truly okay with it. I have no control over this situation, much to my dismay. Just trying to take it easy and ride it out. The US thursday will hopefully show an empty uterus, otherwise they want to do a D&C to make sure nothing remains.
 
Waves- Alia slept like Leah when she was that age. I think they r supposed to sleep like 20 hr, so add in a few feedings that they r awake for, that would be right. I remember in my maternity leave I was able to work from home cuz she slept so much. Alia still sleeps alot, but will have awake/play time now.
 
RR, so sorry. i'm glad you are peaceful enough to know that you had no control over the situation, and it was nothing you did or didnt do. but still, thinking of you.
 
afm, i'm having a rough day (and btw, i say that ever so lightly, as what i have to complain about is about 1/10 of 1% of any of your aches and pains.... so please forgive me).
i hate being out of control of my body - im' working out and still eating healthy, and it feels like it has no effect on my body - i'm still expanding like the universe and putting on the pounds. granted, they are sticking straight out in front of me, but i just feel like there is nothing i can do. i literally feel like i could stop eating completely and still put on weight. disgusting. ironically, i LOVE my belly - i love touching it and it amazes me and i look in every reflection i pass - i just cannot believe it. then i go to the elliptical and feel like i'm going to fall off, or go spinning and feel like i cant get sweaty or hot or out of breath, so why be there? but i go. and eating - after every meal, the baby wants to escape my body thru the place where i think my diaphragm is right now - pretty much out the sides of my ribs. i honestly think the "pain" (not hurt, more like tightening) i'm experiencing is my upper abs pulling apart, but it feels like someone is inflating my whole rib cage. i'm also lonely working in texas, and feel unmotivated to do anything, but force myself to do it. everyone is polite and nice, but i just want to go to my hotel and lay on the bed. two more days, then travel home. again, i recognize that my complaints are so small in comparison, but it is what it is. i'm not in any way unhappy to be pregnant; i'm just unhappy to be away from home and at a loss on whats happening to my body. it's like an out of body experience. and i was crying today on the phone talking with OH because he wasnt really conversating with me - i was talking, and he was "uh huh" ing, (he was at work so didnt want to say much), but it just made me feel not paid attention to. stupid hormones. i love you baby, but i hate you hormones making me cry.

Thanks, that's a little reassuring :) I know newborns are supposed to sleep a lot but it just seems like everyone else with babies the same age, their babies are awake for longer periods at a time than she is. It's so weird because it's totally different than how Hannah was. Autumn's going on 9 years old so I can't remember what she was like as a newborn to compare.
 
Amanda - So sorry to hear but glad you are okay with it and were able to have your levels tested so soon after to confirm. That way you weren't in limbo for too long, you know? Hugs for you my dear. It's probably way too soon to even think about it and I hope I'm not out of line in asking but now that you and your ex have reconnected and all that, would you want to actually try again or just work on the relationship first and see what happens?
 
Robert- so sorry hun. Are u going to stay with ex ex? Are you two going to try again? Or is it too early to talk about (if so sry I brought it up)?
 
Thanks, Mirolee. Appreciated! I think its only normal for you to feel as if you are losing control of your body, especially since you are health conscious and work out often. Pregnancy does crazy things to your body, even when youre expecting changes, they're still hard to accept!

No, no not to worry. We discussed it briefly. I'm fine with trying again and trying to make a relationship work, but I want to wait a little bit on kids. I'd like my divorce to be final and to know that our relationship is solid.
 
Amanda- I am so sorry for what you are going through. Please know we are here for you:hugs:
 
Morgan-No strep B yet. I asked about it at the last apt but we got to giggling about "just the rim" and I forgot what she said lol Yeah idk how I'm not dialated at all yet either!

Amanda-I'm sorry, such a sucky situation... :hugs:

So I just showered and noticed my ankles are really swollen. I've had a lot of water today and haven't been up doing things, so not sure why they are so swollen. Then I thought I saw something out of the corner of my eye on the wall but nothing was there...then I saw a few spots. Nothing since then...you all know how paranoid I am about preeclampsia, so now I'm slightly paranoid. Doc office closed so I'd have to either call the on-call doc or just go to l&d. Am I just being paranoid? Like I said I gained 6 lbs in one week according to my scale which also worries me...
 
If it's a chance of pre-e, I'd call. You don't wanna ignore that if that's what it turns out to be. Good luck mama.
