Quoting NikiJ87:“ LMAO. I had to tell my husband about that because I had went to the bathroom and taken my pants off ... [snip!] ... INSIDE OUT. I was like uh...I'm making a statement...he said what's that...I said well, when you're preggo, you lose your mind.”

Lol "when you're preggo you lose your mind" That is so true

Wednesday June 25th  

Ok ladies I am excited because today I am 20 weeks!!! Halfway through it! Also I wanted to share something that made me so happy. I was on my computer looking a song I didn't know the name of, the song is "In My Arms" by Plumb. If you haven't heard it find it and listen to it, since all of you are mommies and mommies to be. Anyway the song was playing on my computer and the speakers are right by my stomach, the baby started moving! When the music stopped, the baby stopped! So I played the song again and sure enough the baby started moving again   It made me so happy when that happened.
Also my husband and I get to find out what we are having tomorrow      

Quoting MommyTwo2:“ I know how you feel, except Ethan just didnt' do well enough to breast feed thats why I had to stop. ... [snip!] ... too) and doesn't throw up. So I feel like I jipped Ethan even though there was nothing I can do about it..does that make since?”

Yes it definitely makes sense...I feel super bad because when she was getting just breastmilk, she never ever spit up, she didn't have any problems pooping at all (in fact she did it in EVERY diaper...) now with the formula she keeps spitting up and didn't poop all day yesterday. I feel so bad for her because she seems to be working really hard to poop now and it seems to hurt.   I know its not "my fault" but of course I feel like it is. I switched the Good Start formula that's for fussy babies like the doc said to and it seems to be working much better...it doesn't seem like its giving her a terrible tummy ache, but she still is spitting up and I hate it. I feel like if she was just able to get only breastmilk I'd be saving her from that. I'm pretty stressed about it. Its sort of nice to not have to pump as often, but that's the only benefit, and its for ME. I'd rather her be getting the benefits. I just hate it.   My mom stayed the night last night and I got to sleep for 9 hours with my husband and my mom fed her formula. That was pretty nice. I just feel bad for my little munchkin now. And I'm wondering great, is EVERYTHING going to have baby puke on it from now on? Blech.

oh and happy 4th to everyone...we're off soon to spend the day with my entire family, we're all going to my in laws' house, and then Ernie and I and the kids are spending the night out there. Hopefully that goes well!

I am a little nervous to go to fireworks. I am thinking the noise will be bad for the baby...and not to mention the heat ugh!

I'm sorry... what happened?

Quoting peekie:“ i lost the baby   ”

I am so sorry sweetie! There is no better place to come for support than here. So many women that know exactly how you feel.

ok, update time I guess since I am FINALLY at a computer. Well, they did find some protein in my urine and my BP has been as high as 158/112. It seems to stay steady at about 140/100. Although my last appointment it was lower. (of course)lol I am hating bedrest and having to fight myself to not feel like I'm just being lazy and get up and clean and stuff. They told me at the docs office that they are now "aiming" for 38 wks instead of 40. I have to go every week now and get a non-stress test too. At least they have nice comfy chairs in little private rooms. So, I guess that I am now joining the July mommies to be. lol. I have to say though, my man has been so good about all of this. He has gotten up early every day for work just to take the kids to daycare. He cleans the house and cooks dinner and has done everything he can to help me be able to relax. Oh, and his birthday is even 7/5 too. We don't really get to go and do anything for it though. And it would be perfect too if I wasn't on bedrest because my other 2 boys are at their dad's house this weekend. Oh well, I guess that's how life is.

Quoting MommyTwo2:“ Hello All!! I'm finally back!   My c-section went wonderful, and I had wonderful nurses. I got up out ... [snip!] ... nursing so well too, so I hope it stays that way. Talk to you guys soon!!   2duys old 1day old Right after surgery”

He is sooooo cute! I've missed so much being on bedrest. Congrats to you and all the mommies that have had their babies now. Man, you guys are reminding me just how close I reeally am now.   

Quoting peekie:“ i lost the baby   ”

I'm sorry for your loss sweetie.

Yesterday Noah hadn't peed for about 12hrs so I called his doc and they told me to go to the ER, they made him stay over night and I had to stay too, so they let us go to L&D for the night. I was up all night pumping and breast feeding. He wasn't getting enough milk and not drinking enough and he got dehydrated. So they put a IV in his little foot and we finally got every thing under control. Now I have to try to breast feed and either pump or give an oz of formula after ever breastfeeding. Well he isn't nursing super well anymore b/c he has had a bottle nipple and he now knows its super easy to feed from a bottle nipple. So now I have to figure out if I want to formula feed or keep try to breast feed. All I have his a hand held pump and I dont' have the money to buy an expensive pump to only pump for a while. So I don't know. We are home now hopefully it will go better.
Sorry if this sounds confusing I'm very tired and hurt alot.
