Pregnancy and New Mommies Nov1 (James is next)

Anything to get James moving! the ripping in two vajaja is a good sign :D
dh would of helped me..but it was really easy..and I preferred to do it solo. It says to lie on your side, but first I tired it standing up..it worked ok but I think I got some air in there....talk about gassy!! then I layed on my side and it was much easier. I expected to feel the urge right away..but I didnt..it takes a couple mintues.

Heres a pic I took this morning.

WOW Melanie, in less than a week you'll be holding your baby girls. Time has just flown by!
Mel, I will be speaking with the sales representative tomorrow and ask her abou the full sprinkler system. They announce it as a FULL sprinkler system, meaning that i am not supposed to be watering any part of it. I hope they don't fuss much about it tomorrow.

Jen, sending a lot of contraction vibes your way!! Hopefully you beat Melanie, GO BLUE TEAM!

Sonogram was great yesterday. Baby's weight is about 6 pounds and everything seemed ok. He still has that intracardiac forum I talked to you about but they don't seem to be worry by it at all. Baby's head is down already (station +2 I think) I'll go back on monday for a OB check again.

Susan, DH's birthday is in few weeks too (the 30th), I'm hoping my baby is born the same day. It would be my 39th week. We'll see

I'll be back later
 
Kara has been asleep and I have been doing some Christmas shopping!
Pricilla-so glad things are going well for you! Wont be long now! It would be great if your little guy had the same b-day as your dh. My dh's bday is on the 28th..he'll be 47 YIKES!

Jen-Melanie told me that step jump and pump got her going with one of her boys.....I was just too lazy to try that!
 
Well I went home for lunch and walked on TM for a bit and got some more MP out. So that's progress. Had some contractions while walking. I think I will walk again for a bit tonight and then DH and I need to go to Walmart so I can walk some more.

Thanks for the tip Susan but I just don't have the energy except to walk. :)

Hey Priscila! That would be awesome if your LO was born on DH's bday! Yay for head down! You are coming down the homestretch girl! Sounds like you are doing great!
 
Hi there, boy have I missed a lot!!! We are in the house, and I only have a few boxes left to unpack. I am exhausted. The drive up was the hardest part. I peed on the side of the freeway more than I care to recall. Saw my new OB, baby is head down and 6 pounds, and looks like I am a few weeks ahead of schedule. This happened with my son as well... Yikes! So, got to focus on the baby room this weekend. Not getting too much exercise, but that is fine. My back is sore from bending over these boxes. Will get back later for personals. Just wanted to check in!
:)

Hi ladies!

Susan~ nice picture. Kara looks so round and healthy

Jen~ yeah on losing your plug. Don't remember ever seeing one of mine.

Chrsitine~ so glad you are finally "home" . Now you can work on your nest!

Precilla~ i'm glad you are looking into the sprinkler systems. It seems like those sprinkler systems have faults in them alot (I've never had one).....but they are awesome if they work!!

Christine & Precilla~ I can't help but feel a little envious that your babies are already 6-lbs each! Wow. I'm hopeful for 5lbs each. :D

--------
My body is wearing down. I'm really beat today. My bp is up today & I've gained 10lbs in past two days. My face is round & my feet and hands are puffy. I'm being tested for pre-ecclampsia today. I want to make it to my scheduled C-Section, but can feel my body getting weaker. URGH. Hate to sound like a complainer all the time...
 
Oh Melanie!!! You poor thing! Did you test pos for pre-eclamp?? Please let us know how you are doing??
Jen-any action girl?
Waves to everyone..Kara is just waking up..I will bbs
 
Awaiting labs. My kidney & liver functions were off yesterday. My 24 hour urine screen for pre-eclampsia isn't back yet. I should know by 10 AM or so. If I"m positive for pre-eclampsia, they more than likely deliver today....otherwise we will be closely monitoring and hoping for a Wednesday 830 AM C-Section...
 
Melanie - You will be in my thoughts and prayers today!!! I've been away the past week on a business trip and haven't been able to sign on. I don't really have a lot to add to the conversation anyways since I'm only working on 7 weeks here. I can't wait to hear about the new arrivals soon though! Hopefully, James will make an appearance soon! The pictures of Kara are adorable.
 
Melanie- I am thinking of you today! You have been through a lot. Whew. Cannot wait to see the little girls!!!
 
Sorry ladies, I wasn't trying to trick anyone but no dice. Been busy chatting with everyone at work since its my last day. I had 3-4 contractions an hour last night for about three hours but nothing after. I have a few mild ones today and thats it.

Melanie- Hang in there sweetie! Just remember everything happens for a reason and when its the right time for your girls to make their appearance, its the right time. I'm really hoping you don't have pre-eclampsia on top of everything else. Just remember too...its nothing that you have done. You have been the best mommy making sure your girls get the best care that they can.

Hi Susan! Hope you get some reading done!

Hi Liann! Glad to see you are still hanging with us! Take lots of notes! ;)

Hey Christine! Glad to see you are all moved and hopefully getting settled. Hopefully you are feeling better and not so stressed!
 
Melanie-Jen in so right! Keep us posted
Jen-yayyy last day at work! Friday is a good day for an enama..dont you think???
Amber-glad to see you are back!
HI Christine
Haley is off of school today so its hard reading with her home. Her buddy is coming over at 1 to spend the night..so a madhouse it will be! Only a month until classes are done! Then nap time will be MY time again! My bladder is still low, but intact! Been kageling a lot!
going to get some chores done real quick. bbl
 
Pre-E is negative!! Whew. So,.....we just watch an see (and praying we can hold for Wed surgery).

Jen! James has 5 days.
 
Great news Melanie! Wednesday will be here before you know it! Kara has been snoozing all day so far just getting up to eat. Havent gotten much done though!
 
I'm here. My entire life is enveloped around my platelets, and other labs. It gets exhausting talking about it....so thus the quietness around here. Sorry.

Today has been a great day though. No bad news. The only negative thing that I can think of is when I went potty earlier....I was chatting on the phone with my mom......and I didn't life the hospital gown up when I sat up....well, the bottom of the huge (one size fits all gown) landed in my pee-water. It was kind funny.

Even my food was good. For my evening snack I got a ham & swiss cheese sandwich with mayo, lettuce, tomato on whole wheat. It was scrumptous (sp?).

Dh's folks are coming on Monday to stay with the boys so Dh can be with me. He'll come on Tuesday night & spend the night. Not sure how long he'll stay...it's all dependent on how well the girls are doing.

I'm still hopeful that my platelets might go up to safe level for surgery so I won't need all the blood transfusions......and that the girls will need minimal NICU time.

I miss my boys dearly......it's been 10 days since I've seen them. *sigh* hope to see them real soon.

That's it on my end!!!!
 
Melanie-my heart goes out to you! You have been through so darn much..and I know you miss your boys!! Just think though..it wont be too long before you all are back together! The girls will be home soon! Funny pee story! Im glad you had a better day!

Kara slept from 5 til 9..so dh and I watched a movie..I nursed her and now shes on dh's shoulder. I hope she goes back to sleep..fingers crossed! Why can't seh sleep 4 hours sound at night?????????? Haley's friend is here and they have been bouncing off the walls doing everything.

Jen-???

Ok Im gonna go lie in bed with dh and Kara...see you tomorrow!
 
I'm here guys! Nothing going on...just feeling a ton of frustration at being pregnant and having pain. Did a TON of walking and only a few contractions. I'm kinda feelin like Mel and feel down and not chatty. I'll check back when I feel better.
