U.S. Mommies To Be

[lisaf]

hey girls!!

heyyady.. those girls are just so beautiful!

JNA - glad the hand thing is ok.

I don't think I'm making any progress here.. more wishful thinking than signs of real progress... occasionally getting a yucky achy PMS like feeling, but nothing that is like a contraction should be (can't time it, very very spaced out etc).
Occasionally get some sharp twinges but I don't think they are contractions either, lol... one was probably a pulled muscle when I moved wrong, one was just a sharp rib pain that was like 2 seconds long, lol.
Keep getting that buzzy feeling which I believe is baby sitting on a nerve (used to feel it all the time before baby got big enough to come up out of my pelvis).

She is on a sleep positioner. its angled up and has 2 round things on the side to hold baby in place- they are also vented for air flow. it lets her sleep in bed with us which keeps her warm enough when its cold out and stops us from rolling onto her. also helps with keeping her in a good position on her own.

Where did you get it? I want one.

The changing pad has already been put in the big space there. It has a pretty, soft pink cover.

I wish I could tell you where I got it! My friend gave it to me bc she loved it so much for her daughter. Ill take a picture and post it when I'm not on my phone maybe ut will help you figure out where to get it.
The tag says "the first years air flow"

MissFox I cant believe she is only 2 weeks!! Your profile pic is beautiful and she looks so alert and that full head of hair! Looks like she has already discovered her hands too.

 

[MissFox]

3 weeks today
She LOVES her hands! She folds them and touches her hair! She even reached and touched my face this morning!she has tro have her hand out when she's eating so she can feel everything. And earlier she grabbed her lady bits too! She thought it felt weird bc I just put diaper cream on!

A Mother's Day baby would be awesome!

 

[MissFox]

Kinda the best mother's day present!

 

[Sweet_Mama]

A Mother's Day baby would be cool, but then I'd technically be 3 days shy of full term and that would make my doctor right and me wrong... so I think I'll settle for at least 11 more days of baby in my tummy.

Funny here... my students keep looking at me like I'm going to shoot a baby out any second, lol. It doesn't help that I make a face every time I stand up. Honestly, it's so difficult to even stand at all now, let alone walk across the room (or campus, ugh). She is so darn low it hurts non-stop now. Sigh. I can make it 11 more days or more, right?

 

[lisaf]

hmmm, don't know sweet-mama... did you go early or late with your other singletons?
Lol @ the kids faces... my DH's face lights up every time I make a noise that sounds like I'm in pain/discomfort, lol.

I had the barest hint of pink spotting last night.. some snot-like discharge today so hopefully we're getting closer but no contractions or anything

 

[southerngal2]

I had my appointment with the Maternal Fetal Dr today.
They did a very detailed ultrasound. Even looked around in 3D.
My fluids dropped a little more but are still above 5, so no hospital!

Baby scored 100% on everything! Though she is a little small, she is very healthy!
Dr said at term she will probably be about 6lbs.
He said he felt good about everything because she passed all the tests, and was growing and moving good.

I have to back again in 2 weeks so they can check it again.
I feel a lot better about everything now.

 

[JNA]

Thats great news SouthernGal!!!!

Lisa I got a good giggle when you said your husband gets excited when you sound like your in pain hehe

A mothers day baby would be cool in just trying to make it full term before having lo. I figured I have her on my grandmothers birthday or OH's dads bday if I go over. Kids in my family like to share bdays

 

[lisaf]

congrats southerngal!!

 

[luckyme225]

Glad it went well southerngal!!

Lisa~ Here is my delivery history:

Baby 1~40w6d~9.4 pounds
Baby 2~36w6d~7 pounds even
Baby 3~38w6d~8.7 pounds
Baby 4&5 (surro-twins)~36w0d~5.5 & 5.11 pounds (not my genetics there)
Baby 6~34w5d~7.5 pounds (again, not my genetics and he was early due to the loss of identical twins that stopped growing with him at 13 weeks, caused pre term labor, etc-yes, that means it started as triplets, lol)

This is Baby #7 for me (my personal baby #4). My OB, who is new to me, is convinced I'll deliver early, but so far I have not had a single reason to believe that will happen except that I'm on my feet a lot. I will be full term (37 weeks) in just 8 1/2 more days, so we'll see.
