I did however learn from another interview I saw online that the mother did have a 'breakdown' from the 'stress' of it all and the kids were taken away from her for 2 whole weeks, while she underwent an evalutaion.......NOT LONG ENOUGH IN MY OPINION!!!!

Liz, i always pop a couple of tums and that seems to help too with the acid. Believe it or not, I was reading that mustard helps too (you would think it would make it worse)!!!

mommy2816 - 37 minutes ago
yeah, the placenta still hasn't moved so they scheduled the c-section for me. They will still be checking every 2 weeks to see if it moves but I wanted a date just in case it doesn't! I'm sooo Excited!!!!!

@ Mommy -- That's so exciting to know exactly when you're going to meet your little one. The suspense is killing me!!!

sionainne - 42 minutes ago
@ Liz -- ohhhh. Well hopefully this new remedy works!! PS: if it's easier for everyone, you can all just call me 'SHANNON'. That's how my name is pronounced anyway.. it's a bit of a headache to type out if you're not used to it. LOL

Kelli...I saw an advertisement for that show too. I'm going to be honest with you, and I hope it doesn't offend you, but it scared the crap out of me! I would love my child no matter what, but autism is something that really does frighten me because there's just so much to it.

marietta - I do that in bed sometimes when I wake up or I can't sleep because of the pain. I just get on all fours and arch and de-arch(?) my back. I do find that it helps.

last night I took two tylenol before I went to bed with the hopes it would help alleviate the hip pain. What started happening to me on Friday (after my drs appt. of course) was that my right hip area started hurting really badly when I laid in bed on my side. The pain actually triggers cramps in my stomach sometimes. So last night I also tried putting a pillow under my stomach so that I could lean a little further on my stomach and to try not to put so much pressure on my hip. I did help a little bit.

Morning ladies, heading over to 30!!!! OMG time is moving fast.

Girlygirlinnc - 1.5 hours ago
Okay ladies...went to doc today and am measuring at 34 weeks. I have to have yet another u/s next Monday (my 7th) to check my amniotic fluid levels. I may have polyhydramnios, but not sure. They didn't find anything wrong with my baby at my last u/s (3 weeks ago) when they saw my fluid levels were a bit high so I'm hoping things are still well. Happy Monday to all!

sionainne - 1.5 hours ago
Good morning ladies! I've been trying to upload my 3D pics and nursery pics but for some reason after I click 'continue' it brings me back to my profile page and nothing has been added. I'll keep trying! I'm with you all on the back problems. It doesn't matter how much I rest or how much my husband massages my back, I still wake up stiff and sore. Ohhhh the joys of pregnancy!

Kelli I missed it.. damnit.. I will try to find it.. I wld like to watch it.. YOU need to have a camera come into YOUR house for a week to see what its like. I mentioned it to Ray and he agreed.... Becuz when people who DONT live with it see it then it totally kills anything that they thought that they knew about Autism. I hate that.. sorry! I am going to try and find it so I can watch it

So, my MIL is driving me crazy because she wont stop about how my son 'already looks just like daddy' and the worst part is she keeps saying how you can already tell that Aiden has her 'good chin' and her nose. Ok, am I being silly by getting very annoyed by this?? I posted the pics, what do you guys think? You know what else she did...after the sonogram on saturday she asked to take some of the photos with her. I replied 'no, I would like to put them on the computer before I give any out' because up HELLO, I just paid the $$ for these so why am I going to let you walk away with one that I dont have a copy of?? After I said no, her persistant ass asked 3 more time. Am I just being emotional???

Hello! I am sure it's just me, but what is the picture above? I can't figure it out? Also, I now have tendinitis in my wrist from the pregnancy. What strange things happen to us!

Liz....it wasn't due to hormones, believe me, it was due to watching a piece of crap called Autism x6!!!!! Complete GARBAGE!!!! It should be labeled as fiction....or at least with a warning stating 'if you don't parent and discipline your children with or without Autism, these are the brats and the type of life you will live as well'

I can tell you and anyone else here, I LIVE this life everyday with 4 kids on the spectrum (with just as big a range as this family has)....and MY life is nothing like this. My kids are nothing like this either. I DO NOT feel sorry for these people, nor pity their life....they are getting EXACTLY what they are putting into it. The kids I only feel sorry for as they are capable of SO MUCH MORE, but will never be able to display their abilities, due to their parents inabilites to give them the chance to succeed.

The whole thing is a pathetic piece of trash, that is so biased and discriminatory at best, at showing what Autistic children are like and capable of, and what life is really like living with them, and parenting them. NO.....THIS IS NOT HORMONES...this is one pissed of parent, who fights for her children to be seen as human beings not poor, out of control animals, and in ONE HOUR, this show totally blew apart what it has taken many of us years to help other's to understand and see in our kids and in our lives.

pc- I have to tell you that last year on Christmas day it was 85 degrees.. Ray mentioned it the other morning. he said its so chilly now. He said he remembered walking outsideo n Christmas day last year saying the Global Warming was taking over.. LOL.. We havent had really cool fall weather in , I cant even remember how many years...

Sara- the only reason I realize it is bcuz Ray shops every Sunday for groceries and weekly supplies and I told him yeaterday we needed more toilet paper. He jokingly told me that I was only allowed 2 rolls a wk. since I am home all day and I go potty every 30 minutes I told him that wldnt work.. ALSO I noticed my hand soap needs to be refilled every wk instead of every other wk.. LOL.. so funnyt hat I am catching these thinkgs. BUT like I said I am home with not much else to do but pick up on these things.

@ mamabear - Beth is right... I only woke up twice last night to pee and woke up this morning thinking 'wow, what a great night'... usually it is much more than that.

@ liz - I also have been going through toilet paper like crazy. Sami actually mentioned it the other day and I suggested he just start buying the cheap kind. He was like 'nooooo, I can't do that... the cheap kind is scratchy'. LOL!

prettyeye--The weight we carry in the front makes the back arch so much. Massage helps, even self massage of the lower back, and also throughout the day you can do mild exercises to de-arch your back. Stand against a wall and try to straighten your spine to press against the wall. It's basically a pelvic tilt, and re-engages the abdominals, since they've been pretty distracted with the task of holding up the baby lately! Also good to do on hands and knees.

Liz3 -I am so envious...okay, not of the bedrest necessarily :)...but of the atmosphere your enjoying. Good smelling candle, wind blowing in the room. I'm here in Austin and our cold front is coming in today...it's going to be a chilly 88 degrees! LOL! I can't wait until we start to get that crips fall morning...I guess that might happen around Christmas! LOL!

prettyeyecc... I have to tell you that I have severe problems. Heat and bath make mine worse. the ONLY thing that worked in the begining before it got to wehre I am on bedrest was ICE.. I wld have to lay on my stomach or side and my hubby wld have to hold a gell ice pack on my back.. Try that. The phyisical therapist I was seeing said that it reduces inflamation so if that is what the problem is it may help you... OR you may need to start propping up with pillows. I have a body pillow, 1 feather pillow and 2 standard pillows.. lol

Yeah Kelli- sorry about the connection issues :o) sorry you were hormonal. We missed you 'round here...

I got my crib and all setup. But my stupid camera is on the fritz. It was an awesome camera for a abt 2 yrs but now I need an upgrade.. LOL..

mandybrooke and pc- I wish I cld got rot work. Sad but true. I have been on bedrfest for over a month and will be most likely until delivery. I am having a bad day today with my back. Ray had to help me out of bed this morning and help me get everything propped up or i wld lay here all day and not be able to move... also he lit a yummy fall candle so my room smells really yummy and its near the window, and the wind is blowing and the window is open so it smells so yummy.. LOL

spudjc- I have had that a couple of times.. If it is the same pain I have had. is it like a stabbing pain under your breast or is it like a back pain that feels like a really bad bowel movement pain? Dont worry about TMI on here. I dont think there is one topic that we havent covered... LOL

My hip pain was horrible there for about 2-3 weeks. I would be in tears after work, but thankfully it has eased up alot. Every once in a while I will get a sharp pain but it is so much more managable! So hopefully you girls wont have to be in pain much longer! Good luck to all!

so I will be 29 weeks tomorrow, but I figured maybe some of you would have insight on to something I experienced this morning. This is my first pregnancy, so I have no idea what a contraction feels like. I work two jobs, and Saturday night I did notice a ton of bh contractions, which aren't painful at all for me. I was laying on the couch actually timing them because they were coming so frequently. About every 10 min. Anyways, Sun I went to my second job which requires me to stand all day. I work at a Halloween store/costume store in the mall for the season and I have to run around and help people try on costumes. Usually i sit down throughout the day but yesterday was super busy and I was working with the manager who has no sympathy. Anywaus, I was super tired last night and came home and went right to bed. This morning I was standing in the kitchen getting ready to walk out the door on my way to my normal job and I got this feeling in my stomach, like when you have to go to the bathroom really bad. It lasted for about 30-45 seconds and truly did hurt. I know it isn't that I have to go to the bathroom cause I already had done that in the morning, sorry if tmi but trying to see whats wrong. Since then I feel the baby kicking and moving and I haven't had any bh or that pain come back, but I wonder if I should call the dr to tell them. I really cannot afford to miss work if it is nothing, but at the same time don't want to put William in any hard. Any comments on what this could be?

Good Morning ladies!!

ok...soooooo Beth- glad I can inspire you (LOL).. I try not to complain but sometimes I will admit it is REALLY hard not to bust out in tears bcuz my back or hips are killing me. Ray knows that I only complain or cry when its really bad.. I try not to wake him up in the night when I go to the bathroom but sometimes I need his help LOL.. The funny thing is that he usually doesnt remember getting up, helping meup and helping me back into bed.. hahaha.. I usually use thebathroom what seems like every 30 minutes.. since I am home all day and I have to be able to getup on my own etc. I have noticed I go thru a LOT more toilet paper. hahaha.. sorry if thats sounds dumb, but hey I aint got much else to do all day hahaha
