Happy 37 weeks Kelly!

So I'm team pink :pink:! Wrote an update in my journal (which I'll stick in here too)

She's a little over a pound, and she's perfectly healthy. Heartbeat is 152 bpm, and size and shape of heart and other organs seem to be fine. Limbs are all looking good and are a good length. The sonographer had me lie on my side so that she could see the gender. She asked "are you sure you want to know?" and I said "yes!!!" and she said "it's a girl!!" She couldn't get all the pictures she needed because the baby wouldn't really budge from her position (she had me stand up and jump around and wiggle, and she poked me a bunch, but it didn't really help!), so I'm going back for another u/s in 3 weeks! Yay more pictures! Good thing is that everything that she could see looked perfectly fine, so I'm not really worried.

DH is super excited, too. He got to hear the heartbeat for the first time today. I'm really glad that he was with me for the exciting news.

I really am so sorry to hear your sad news :hugs:

As you may remember I lost my Dad suddenly just 6 months ago & what I would give to be able to say & do the things I wanted, much as you dont want to lose your Dad & it will be heartbreaking......You let him know what he means to you :hug:

Oh gosh, im off now :cry:
 
Thanks everyone. It was just so sudden. He was fine until Christmas day and since then its got worse. They thought it was several different things, infected gall bladder etc. They then discovered there was cancer in his gullet and it may have spread to his liver. We were expecting him to be able to go for chemo, but the cancer has spread all over his liver, in his stomach and its breaking off into his lungs. No chemo in the world can help him :cry: It's just nice he still gets to spend some time with Amara before he goes, she is just too young and he will miss out on her life. This is my second dad I will have lost.

We are having a photo shoot on saturday with all the family, so we will all cherish those photos forever.

Kelly, I remember you saying about your dad, life jsut isnt fair at times! :hugs: Sorry for upsetting you.

Wow MM, just saw your ticker! MASSIVE congratulations.

No TTC for me for another 2 months :( (although Paul is home this weekend for the photo shoot :winkwink: )

No need to say sorry :hugs:

But no, life isnt fair :nope:

Keep strong & enjoy each & every moment :hug:
 
Kara's 1st birthday today! I am so overwhelmingly grateful to be her mommy. Her party's tommorrow, so that'll be fun.

On a ttc note, I think I finally have a positive opk or at least almost positive, on CD23. Since this cycle's turning out to be a long one, I doubt it'll amount to anything, but I guess there's still a chance.

Hope you ladies are doing well. :hugs:
 
Happy first Birthday Kara!!! :)

Sorry to hear about you dad Shabutie.

Happy Birthday Kara!

We're still NOT PG. Such a bummer. At this point I'm convinced something is wrong with me. I'm very nervous to start fertility testing, because of what might or might not be discovered. I'm so happy for all of you ladies, but it's getting more and more painful to read about all the happiness that you're all experiencing with your LO's and soon to be LO's. As sad as I am in the baby department, life is going pretty well and I'm happy most of the time.
All I have ever wanted is to be happily married and be a SAHM. My marriage is great but I'm getting scared that my dreams of being a mom are getting further from reach. Please keep us in your prayers as we near ltttc.

To re-assure you....

Took me almost 2 years to fall for my Son ~ :baby: I now have (almost) 4 Children, each one, apart from the one due in 2 weeks took a while to concieve

Wishing you good luck :flower:
 
Sorry pixie! Another reassurance for you: I have a friend that took 2 years to get pregnant the first time and she got pregnant with the second the first month they started trying!

Please don't give up hope... You WILL be a mom. One way or another!! :hugs:
 
:hugs: Pixie. I understand how it can be hard to read about other's :bfp: or LO's. But giving up is definately NOT going to get you what you want. :hugs: Stay strong, girl! Your dreams will come true, you just might have to work at it a bit harder than some other people. :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: But you know that'll make it even more worthwhile to you. :hugs:
 
Sorry to hear about your dad, Shabutie. Wish there was more I could say. :hugs: Thinking of you and your family!!

:hug: Pixie. I'm sorry you're having such a rough time, and I can only imagine how frustrating and scary it must be to not to understand why your body isn't behaving as you'd expected. But stay positive - your BFP will come! :flower:



AFM, had quite an "exciting" end of the week last week. Woke up in the wee hours of Thursday with bad cramps and lower back pain. Could hardly walk, and it hurt to lay down. I tried to ignore it and sleep it off, but finally went into L&D Thursday afternoon (1ish), and learned that I was contracting. :nope: They checked my cervix and I was already a "loose" 1cm and 50% thinned, and she's locked and loaded and not interested in moving (they said that at 30w, they should be able to push on her head gently and have her float up.. but she was not going anywhere, lol). Anyways, none good for a first timer this early. They gave me two shots of Brethine, which did nothing. They then started me on a Magnesium drip and kept me overnight. The drip didn't do anything either until late morning on Friday (they'd already notified a hospital 45 mins away with a better NICU that I may be on my way), but my contractions finally slowed down. Got released that night on modified bed rest and Procardia, which I'll now be taking until it's a safe enough time for her to come. Also had two steroid shots to mature her lungs in case they can't keep her in long enough, and will be starting my weekly OB visits now instead of at 36w. Scary! I get contractions all the time now, but the Procardia is supposed to lessen the intensity so that I don't continue to progress.. I so hope it does and that I can keep her in until at least 35 weeks! Keep us in your thoughts!

Anywho, hope everyone else is doing well! :hugs: and :dust:
