U.S. Mommies To Be

[JNA]

Aw sorry no baby yet Miss Fox. I just knew she was coming on my b-day lol

Yesterday was my Baby Shower and 21st birthday. Even though im on bedrest I still went on with the shower and sat at my table and participated in the sitting games and ate tons of food (what I do best this stage of pregnancy)

Kaliyah officially has more clothes than me and OH put together. Looking at all her little outfits make me want her here now (knock on wood)

We got an Eddie Bauer Endeavor Travel System, about 80 outfits newborn-6 months, the cutest bibs I have ever seen in my life, 2 blankets, 1,000 in giftcards, 2 diaper bags, baby organizer, 2-n-1 tote, and tons of socks!

Im planning on supervising the finishing touches on the nursery today. OH and dad are about to have one hell of a headache.

Still contemplating whether to buy a bassinet or not decisions decisions decisions

 

[MissFox]

Sounds GREAT! I loved going through all my baby stuff after my shower!
I was given my bassinet or we wouldn't have purchased one. So it is a hard decision.
Been having a lot of mood swings since yesterday. Woke up at 5 am and felt so home sick (wish I would have gone home my last night of being prego) and missing my dogs so much! Also we''re sleeping on an L shaped couch so I haven't really even been sleeping with DH and I missed that. We dtd for the last time for a while (lol) and cuddled for a couple hours.
Hoping today is a good day!! I also hope my sore throat that I woke up with goes AWAY!

Good luck today Miss Fox!

 

[JNA]

Good luck with your induction wont be long befroe your holding your little princess in your arms

 

[lisaf]

what a GREAT baby shower JNA!!!! Seriously, wow! Good haul!

sorry you're still waiting MissFox!

 

[MissFox]

No worries- I've kinda just accepted it now. Been having BH all morning since 5. These don't hurt at all just notice the tight feeling happening.
Really hoping this sore throat goes away soon!!! Have a few things to do today but they can wait a little while since I'm just being lazy!
One of my friends messaged me on FB and said that she is trying to get into photography and wants to do some newborn pictures of miss Rosie. Pretty exciting!

 

[MissFox]

Also- if any of you have FB and wanna be my friiiiieeeeeeeend my e-mail is [email protected]
Just let me know you're from here.

 

[lisaf]

ooh lucky! My FIL is a professional photographer but we hardly ever get to see the pictures he takes He took some of us at my wedding, but really, I don't think he's that practiced at taking pictures of people (he worked for a resort and island magazine and took lots of shots of resorts/beaches/dining rooms at hotels etc).
I liked the pictures my photographer took MUCH better .. shhh don't tell him!

 

[MissFox]

I'm still going to take my own (I went to school for photography/graphic design) also but she wants to practice and who am I to say no? lol.

 

[lisaf]

lol, I'll be taking plenty of pics of my kid too. We bought ourselves a nice digital SLR (I was waiting to buy one until I had a kid so I'd have the latest and greatest for kid pictures! )
Never did more than a high school course in photography, but wanted to make it a career at one point (then found out there's no real money in it )

 

[MissFox]

Yup- no money in it lol. Unless you have a big wedding every month and then some but it's not something to really spend all your time making money on.
I have a D-SLR also and 2 small digitals. I'll be keeping the little one in the diaper bag!

So as the day goes on I do NOT feel better yet! My nose is starting to run and my head is feeling like there is pressure in it. UGH! And my sore throat is still here. NOT OK! Still feeling crampy and having lots of tightenings though. Still not hurting like ones in the past have. I wonder if it has anything to do with this stuff I started taking called BRING ON THE BIRTH. Bunch of herbs in a tincture I got yesterday- figured it couldn't hurt lol.

 

[lisaf]

ooh, you could also try acupuncture to bring on labor.. my friend did that and it totally worked for her!

 

[Sweet_Mama]

Thanks girls!!
They want to induce because my AFI is low and because of my hip and back problems- they were letting me wait bc I wanyted to for the hips but when the ultra sound showed low fluid levels they wanted to schedule me to be induced since we live so far from the hospital now.

Ah, I see. Well, better to get her out and be safe then, right. Good luck with your induction. I hope it's as easy as possible on all of you.

 

[MissFox]

Yea the way the last week in town has been going I can feel its coming soon but I am hesitant with fluid levels dropping. And having not been home for the last week is getting to me. So so so homesick and I'm so excited for Rosie to be here now and to go home! Doggies and my bed! Lol

 

[MissFox]

So as of an hour ago I am "just about" 3cm and 75% effaced. I was having irregular contractions on my own (hitting 80-90 on the scale) but they are still giving me the lowest dose of PIT to see if I pick up my own schedule. Hope it goes quick!
