Everything is ok with baby and with me! I do have excess amniotic fluid but my doctor said she is not that worried

 

[PDReggie]

That is VERY good news. Glad everything went well.

 

[MrsKChicago]

That's great, Beth!

My NT scan was good! Baby is measuring a couple days ahead. She was swimming all over the place, it was very cool.

 

[lsd2721]

I'm glad everything looks good beth!

Just found out today that I am getting a raise at work! I have only been there for 6 months! So excited! I totally didn't expect it!

How are you ladies doing? Any good plans for the long weekend?

 

[MrsKChicago]

That's great, MGreenM! Congratulations!

My brother and a friend just opened up a butcher shop, so I'm going to help them out on the registers for the big holiday weekend so they can focus on the meat. Hopefully they'll be nice and busy! DH will be helping out some after work Saturday and on Sunday, too. Not sure if they'll need us for a couple hours on Monday, but our plans are just to grill at home anyway, so it's no problem either way.

 

[MrsKChicago]

Well, I got antsy and booked a private gender scan. We'll find out Sunday afternoon if baby cooperates! I don't think I'd make it to mid-October without seeing the baby anyway. I'm usually great for a couple weeks after an ultrasound, then I start to get nervous again. Hopefully I'll start feeling movements in the next month or so and I can worry less.

How's everyone else doing? Some of you are getting so close!

I went for my second Drs visit today. No sonogram. But that is okay, we got to hear the baby's heartbeat and that was enough for me! Dr said it was a strong heartbeat too so, I'm happy with that. Next sonogram is when we find out the gender which he said will be early November. UGH! I can't wait that long! haha But I can I guess. I don't want to pay extra for the early scans. I want to save that money up since we're planning on getting a new car and have tons of new baby things to buy! ;-)

Also, one more week and I'm out of the 1rst trimester! WAHOO!!! I wonder when Owl will join us! ;-)

Some of you really don't have long to go at all! I agree with MrsK, how is everyone?!

 

[MgreenM]

Well, I am at 37w3d. This week has been hell already. Monday I had really low bloodpressure and was symptomatic so went to the ER while at work (good thing I work at a hospital). Spent 6 hrs in the ER and labor and delivery and everything was fine. Had a challenging day at work yesterday and left work late. Then, on my way to my regular OB appointment, I got into a minor car accident so my doctor sent me to labor and delivery for prolonged monitoring...baby is fine but I was apparently having contractions strong enough to warrant a cervical exam (sorry if it is TMI). Between being stressed from the events of the day and the trauma of the doctor's hand, it was quite painful! As of last night, I am not dilated at all. So they sent me home and said activity as tolerated. I stayed home from work today and slept most of the morning. Been noticing some different pains including at my cervix today (well, that's what it seems like anyways). I go for another NST on Friday. I am just kinda done...need to move on to the next phase and next type of stress....oh, and my computer and my phone have been acting up this afternoon!

I hope everyone else is having a MUCH better week than I am.

 

[MrsKChicago]

Oh my god! What a week! Take it easy!

 

[lsd2721]

Wow, how crazy Mgreen! Get some rest and try to relax before little one gets here! Hope your weekend is MUCH better!

 

[MgreenM]

just noticed more damage to my car than I thought there was...I have just had it! So ready to move on! On top of that, with my computer problems, I lost the email address to submit pictures to insurance! ugh!

 

[PDReggie]

M sorry to hear about your week. Mine has been fine. Just busy. We ordered all the left over stuff from the registry and we get stuff daily at this point. It's a nice surprise everyday but it's all piling up and stressing me out. We are going out looking at daycares this week. Then have the birth classes this weekend. But I'm feeling good. Started back at yoga which has been amazing for my stress and my physical health.

 

[SoonToBePreg]

Mgreen, hope things get better for you.

I've been doing ok, just have some serious pelvic pain after jogging yesterday. It's time to retire that and just walk. What cardio exercises are you guys doing? I'm thinking of giving the elliptical a try even though I don't really enjoy it

Otherwise, our baby shower is coming up soon and I'd love to just start shopping and buying stuff now but my DH keeps telling me to wait and see what we'll need. I've also started taking birth classes at my birth center for the next three weeks, and listening to labor and delivery stories on youtube. Plus my sister gave birth to her gorgeous daughter so it's been awesome visiting her and seeing the baby and knowing that will be me in a few weeks. Overwhelming but very exciting...

Hi guys! I'm here. Cautious, but here. I have my first ultrasound a week from today. I know there's a good chance we won't see a heartbeat but at least we can see something before our families visit the week after and we tell them.

Other than that I am currently a zombie and wondering how it is possible to both be super nauseous and desperately hungry, but only for Taco Bell.

M, I'm so sorry to hear about your shit week! That sucks. Take care of yourself. You and the baby are way more important than a car or anything else.

Can't wait to hear what you're having MrsK!

I can't believe there are going to be babies soon. It's amazing

 

[MrsKChicago]

So glad to see you here, Owl! Get that Taco Bell! All the symptoms sound really good (even though they suck).

SoonToBePreg, does your sister live close? How wonderful that the cousins will grow up together!
