re: '08 September Babies Group Number 2

Quoting ♥ D a n i e l l e:“ Sorry I missed it. How come you have to be on rest?”

my blood pressure was high at my regular appt and then she wanted to do a bunch of tests like my blood every couple days and my urine too to make sure I dont get preclampsia and at every appt since it has been high she gave me some meds and yesterday it was good. but she still wants me to take it easy so it doesnt go up.

hi ladies   I read everything... but the pregnesia is kicking in BIGTIME lately! lol-- your belly is so adorable Amanda, and so is Zachary   -- the diaper thing doesnt sound too adorable though, lol.

crystal- that does sound scary. I hope everything's okay-- def let your doctor know...

uhm... yeah now my brain isnt working

Danielle- I think I'mcarrying high too cause baby Jake seems to always be in my ribs (sometimes it hurts so bad I feel like I'm going to pass out)-- I feel stuffed sooner lately too. But I just small throughout the day.

gaaahhh my personals are terrible today!! lol-- well I'll be gone all weekend for fourth of july (we don't have internet at the new house yet so I get on at work) so I hope everyone has a great holiday! We're going to Jake's friends cabin tomorrow. Not really looking forward to it cause first of all everyone will be drinking and its kind of annoying when everyone is smashed and you're having to witness all the stupidity! Also this friends girlfriend just had a baby 5 months ago and everytime I see her she talks about how she barely gained 10 lbs, and wasn't showing until she was 7 mos, and has only one stretch mark   (she's only 17 so I forgive her) but she still does look fabulous for just having a baby-- it just makes me feel like a fatty when she says stuff like that. but whatever- Jake needs some social interaction all we do these days is sit at home and hang out with each other... which I don't mind but I know he likes to get out. My back is killing mee!!! I think its from sitting all day or something. any ideas to get it to stop hurting?? lol

here's the 30 week picture <I'm covering up my back fat- lmao>

there's a typo in the last post- just eat small  

Afternoon Ladies! Hope yall all had a great day! I had some delicious sweet and sour chicken it was yummy to my tummy!

Here is a pic from today 31 weeks Horray!!!

kmg- your belly is so cute   perfectly round

Crystal - Something similar happened to me... but not as bad. I would say drink more water... maybe you are getting dehydrated? =(

I drew another picture. LOL. Yay.

Yes it's me.... lol... symbolic art.

cute bellies!

Lory - you artist you   I like your drawings.

I so do not want to get married!! lol. I bought a wedding planning book for my birthday because the bf wouldn't leave me alone until I did, we've been "engaged" for over 2 years now, he wants to get married soon. anyway, it's too much work   We want to just have our close family (parents, brothers & sisters, grandparents) but everyone that I've told that too is getting so mad about it. It's annoying the crap out of me, we just want to do the close family thing because that's all that would show up for my bf and I don't really talk to my extended family at all really. I don't get why they'd be upset, I pretty much feel like they barely know me, I see them once a year, that's it and I don't care about getting any presents. it's just about getting married finally that's all. none of that made much sense lol. sorry for going OT but it's been stressing the crap out of me.

anyone nesting a lot yet? I've been going nuts with cleaning! my bf freaked out because he's worried about me spotting again. I stop whenever the BH's start. I need to slow down though.

Quoting samibear:“ cute bellies! Lory - you artist you   I like your drawings. I so do not want to get married!! ... [snip!] ... my bf freaked out because he's worried about me spotting again. I stop whenever the BH's start. I need to slow down though.”

Thank you... hehe.

I, too, am nesting. Haha. It scares me, but my mom loves it.

Just a few personals from memory!

Danielle's 1st Baby/Kristi- Your belly pics look great! I wanna rub-a-dub them!!

Samibear- Nesting here too! Like you, I stop when I get the BHs! Needless to say, I rest every 15 minutes! LOL!

People in the room during delivery- With Zach, it was originally gonna be Randel and my mom as coaches and foot holders (hehe!) and my sister Doreen to videotape. Besides, my OB, the nursery nurse and the one or two L&D nurses, I also planned on having another one of the L&D nurses take pics. WELL, I needup having Randel, mymom, my sister, twoL&D nurses, 3 student L&Dnurses, 2 nursery nurses, 3 student nursery nurses, andmy doctorin the room! So 15 people! LOL! They asked me during labor that if the student nurses happened to be there ifI minded having them in the room. I said no, even though I wasn't too sure how I felt about it. Once I was ready for delivery, I didn't even mind. I had my focus on getting Zach out safely anyway. What was cool was that Zach was the first birth that all of the students had witnessed! Coolness! ANYWAY, this time,once again, it is suppose to be like it was plannedbefore. If I am askedagain about the students, I will have to think about it. I would like it to be more personal this time.IDK.

Hmm...what else?! Heck, I can't remember!

Hello to everyone else!

I had a huge scare earlier. I was walking out of one of the bedrooms with an armload of clothes and ran right into Zachary because I couldn't see him. He went flying backwards onto his back, I felt my ankle go sideways and I fell on my left side almost on top of him. We both were crying! I thought that he was really hurt, my ankle felt like it was broke and I was worried that I had hurt Evan. Thankfully, Evan and Zach are fine! My ankle isn't broke, but it still really hurts and is a bit swollen. I sucked it up and still went shopping with my mom. Now it is killing me.  

I need to find something to eat, but I might be back before bed. If not...

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!

Belly rubs!
Amanda 

amy- i am SO EXCITED for my last day of work! i feel guilty being so excited, since my job is so relational and i know i'll miss people, but my back is just killing me worse and worse every day. usually i can sleep it off but the last four nights the pain has kept me awake.   noooooo fun!!! 

amanda- yikes about your fall! i bet that scared you so much. i'm sorry mama, but i'm glad all is well! hope that ankle feels better quickly. oh and i forgot to say last time, your belly pics are awesome and i wanted that shirt from motherhood maternity!!! they only had it in small though- uhhhhh, not gonna work for me. lol.

kmg- you are so beautiful! your belly looks wonderful.

danielle's first baby- your belly pic is so cute! and so is your avatar- you look adorable. i'm with you on the back pain. it's miserable lately. i hope you have fun for the 4th.

cialee- you are having a doula too? have you had one before? i love the concept of a doula and it's fun to chat about people's experiences with one. so far, everyone who has had one had a very positive experience. 

samibear- sorry about your wedding stress. i think if they are so concerned about being a part of your big day, they should all throw you a reception party a few weeks after the wedding so they can share in the celebration without infringing on your plans for the wedding. maybe you can hint that idea to them, haha.

crystal- eeek your experience does not sound fun! i have never heard of anything similar, but i hope it doesn't happen again. sorry, mama! 

nao- i like your drawings.   

danielle- i think i'm gonna have to take my wedding ring off.   if i can GET it off, that is. i forget to try in the mornings (when the swelling is usually less) and by the evening, it's waaay too tight to pull off. ugh.

well i am exhausted. i went to old navy to see if i could get one of their $5 fourth of july tank tops in size GIANT, and they didn't have a single one at the store! either they aren't doing them anymore or they were totally sold out. too bad, because i only have like 5-7 shirts that fit me anymore, and none of them have any red or blue involved. not that it really matters, but it would have been kinda fun to get a prego shirt for tomorrow. we have a family tradition of going to a park along the columbia river and having a huuuuge bbq (we invite like 40 or 50 people), go swimming, play volleyball, bring games, and just have a blast. then in the evening the park has their own professional fireworks show- it's huge and literally right over your head. loooove it! so anyway, everyone usually shows up in red white and blue, hence my tank top search. but who cares- if i'm comfortable, i'm happy.

guess i'll go browse the forums. it's nice not to have to jump in bed for work tomorrow.   not that i usually go to bed early anyway- why bother when i can barely sleep?! haha. but tonight i'm just really happy to take it easy. i'm even postponing making my pasta salad till tomorrow. hey, fresher is better right?  

Jessica- I went to Old Navy last weekend to get Zach and flag shirt too, and our's didn't have them either. Thankfully, I found him another cute shirt that was red, white and blue. It even says "Mom's little sparkler"! I even found plaid shirts that have red, white and blue in them. I can't wait to put them on him tomorrow! I know that he is gonna look adorable too! Don't worry I will take pics and post them! hehe! Anyway, have fun tomorrow!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!!

Hope you all had a great independence day! We will be letting off more and watching another cities fireworks tonight.
lets see topics of
Nesting- yep I was.. past couple days I have been feeling a little slower and falling behind though. I get bh that hurt quite a bit lately so I try to slow it down a bit. Lotsa pressure in the vjayjay area too...those will stop me right in my tracks!

Delivery day- So far I know nick is there and nicks mom and my mom wants to be there... and my cousin talked about flying in to be there.. but this stupid hospital only lets you have 2 ppl (some drs will bend the rule for ya)sooo I have to figure what I am doin! This delivery room is alot smaller then I have delivered in before (birthing centers before) I don't mind the extra family in there if there is room. I know for a fact though: I DO NOT want anyone down at the end of my bed ...so this is one of those things that I have been tosssing around in my head. Small room = ppl standing in areas that I may not want them to be standing. I even want nick up by my head,not at the end of the bed.

Crystal~ I hope you feel better. I don't like the way that sounds!

Danielles 1st~ Aww you look cute  Pregger brain has gotten me too I hope I get some of my memory back after he is here 

Kristi~ You look so beautiful!

Amanda~Mama slow down sweetie! Glad you all are alright.

Lory~ love the art!!

Amy~ Hi there!

Sami~ Its your wedding and you do it the way you want! Maybe you can have a cook out or something after you tie the knotwhere everyone can get together?
That is what me and nick are doin (we both have already been thru the BIG wedding thing with the wrong spouses) I want a beach ceremony with just us. (wait heres the clincher I have never touched the ocean) I have had to go to virginia, florida both under an hour from the ocean but due to time have not been able to make it there, damn work. We honestly would have gotten married by now if it wasn't for him rebuilding his credit (he said he didn't care please marry him! and I said nope, I am commited to you as if I am married. But as for the piece of paper we will wait till we get the house bought. My x husband is still draggin my credit through the sewer.

I have been getting dizzy spells alot lately and I have another right now I am gonna get off here for now.
Hugs to you all!

32 weeks. (it was wednesday but i've been slackin)



Pretty sure I've dropped, because I have insane amount of pressure down below. I've also got this sharp stabbing pain in my right upper tummy and it's KILLING me. If it's not gone by monday I'm gonna have to call the doc I suppose.

One of the medications I'm on is messing me up again with its stupid side effects. I came off of it last time because the side effects got so strong, I dunno if I can just up and come off a med again like that. What it does... and this happens all the time if I'm not careful, you know that pins and needles feeling you get if your hands fall asleep? Well, I get it in my lips, my cheeks, my EYELIDS, my hands and feet. Normally, it only happens if I forget to take a dose 12 hours after the previous one, or if I get way too tired. Well, I've been sleeping my ass off, and I'm right on schedule every 12 hours. I dunno what to do, I'm going insane!!!!!

My husband has a "feeling" he's gonna come anyday... which freaks me out because his feelings are always right. I should probably go ahead and get our bags packed just in case, but ugh I don't want him out yet!! I've got a date with Linkin Park on the 25th! But ughhh I've got insane pressure, lots of BH ctx, and I've been poopin like CRAZY lol! So yeah... I dunno. You vet mamas, what kind of signs did you see before the obvious ones before labor?

Hope everyone had a good 4th! We got stormed on. DH was in Iraq last year for the 4th and has been waiting all year to blow some shit up, and yeah... it rained.   Hope everyone elses' was good!!

So I dont remember if I made the joke in here about my baby girl going breech? But I was sitting at the computer and felt something running up my left side and down my right side and told my mom she was turning breech.

Last night she had the hiccups from 4am til 9am. What a joy. But her head is under my left ribs and her feet are over my right hip bone. She started getting mad about having the hiccups and started moving her arms and then started kicking around. My stomach looked hilarious. I laughed at her.

So yay! I get to see her face on the 3-d if she doesn't move.

And boo! if she doesnt move and I end up with a vagina hat.

I jinxed me. =(
