Hello all,

I figured it was time I put something in here about myself.

I grew up in a small town Vermont. I met and married my wonderful, beautiful husband Heath about 2 years ago after dating for 3. When I say he is the man of my dreams I mean it. Heath was the hottie I'd see driving around in his nice Jeep when I was in high school and I'd think to myself - "I loveed to meet that man" and guess what...I did about 7 years later - he was dating my long time boyfriends sister!!! YEAH it's not what ya think. We never actually dated until both of our relationships had dissolved and we all had moved on. We have spent the last 5 years just being in love and enjoying each other and have now decided it is time to share some of that love with a baby!! In order for me to get pregnant I had a lot preparation to do as, I am, a type 2 insulin dependant diabetic, with high blood pressure (both run in my family). After several visit with my doctors (endocrinologist, OBGYN, high risk pregnancy specialist etc.) I was finally ready to try and conceive! It took us nearly a year and boy was it a long year. Just when I thought it was never going to happen for me and after several disappointing pregnancy tests I finally got a positive! I couldn't believe my eyes I thought it was never going to happen. My sister and brother each have two beautiful children. My sister's are like my own - her daughter is actually more like me than her own mother and she is the apple of my eyes. I just wanted soo bad to feel what it was like to have something need and love you soo much. I wanted this baby more than anything in the world and for some reason when I was wasn't getting pregnant I thought I was being punished for something or maybe I just didn't deserve it? But I now know without a doubt that was not the case and it just took that long because that is the way God wanted it to be (I am not very religious just have a lot of faith). SO here I am four months 1 week and 1 day later happily pregnant! I I'm taking three months off this summer after I have the baby to just enjoy and get to know my angel and I can't wait.

I wish you all healthiness, happiness and baby dust!

HI--
I saw your questions on the diabetes forum. As far as the heart rate being elevated my first would do that occasionally and my doctor said it was quite possibly due to her just reacting to us talking and poking and prodding. She did a lot of movement while they were doing the NST's and check-ups. I don't think there is anything to worry about.
Also as far as inducing they do that with diabetics because there is a higher rate of stillborns with diabetics who go full-term. They have no idea why despite years of research. They did the amnio for my first one and it turned out her lungs were fine. They did induce starting that evening and she was born at a healthy 7lbs 13 oz despite being 2.5 weeks early. They are planning the same for my second.
Good luck. You're getting close! Enjoy these last few days/weeks and rest A LOT--even if you feel like you don't need it! lol :)

Hey just read about your losing your plug my mum said that usually you loose your plug about 2 days before you give birth so just be careful. Not the same for everyone but she is like my guide. hope that helps.

Well after sending that to you, I looked into it because it had been what I had heard, you should be fine though, I think it all just depends, they say to avoid so many diffrent foods it can be quite confusing but if they recommended it, it must be fine, sorry about the confusion

your not supposed to have honey. babies cant digest that.

Oh yes, I feel him in my ribs constantly. Sometimes I feel like he is right in between my boobs he is so igh up there. But then other times I feel like he is soooo low. And I think the same thing about him having ADHD or something like that. He is constantly active and I know they say the bigger the get the less room they ahve so the less they move, but this guy has no room so he is popping out trying to stretch my stomach and moves more than anything. I am actually having my baby shower this Saturday. I am really excited, but same here, ready to get it over with so I can put everything in the room and have it all set up and notworry about it anymore. We still have a coupel things to do in the room, but I think we are finishing that tonight after the Rockets game. Lord if we miss that, nothing will get done. Glad your appt. went well, can't wait to go back for my next one. Today after work I am going to get a pedi and my nails done so I can look all purdy for the shower. I can't wait. This is basically the only thing I do for myself latley, and I rarely get that done. I think one weekend I am just going to go away by myself and sleep for 2 days. That would be nice. I am soooo tired. Ok, time to go get my coffee and wake up for stupid work!!! Have a lovely day!!!!

Yeah I said screw 4 weeks, there was no way! So as I wish I could have taken 12 weeks, I am atleast taking off 7 1/2 weeks. I made my boss move his vacation until I got back. Oh and my little man is so very active. Enough to take my breath away sometimes. He will be rolling and I can't even talk because he pushes on my lungs so hard that the air gets cut off. But at the same time I love it. I hope your appt. goes well today. I had one this morning and everything was great so another 2 weeks and hopefully we do another u/s then. I am really waiting to see how much this baby weighs. I have put on 35lbs, but it is all baby. My b/f was a bigg baby so I am so scared he is going to be like his dad. And after about 2 visits to the doctor where she told me to watch my weight, I did, I ate healthy and walked every night, but now I could just care less. Don't tell me I need to watch my weight, it is not like I have gained 100 lbs. I am soooo ready for him to be here though. Talk to youlater girl!!

you're not the only one hunnie... i work in a small company w/ 3 other ladies in the office, all which have never had a baby of their own!! One in particular is especially insensitive to the fact that i'm friggin tired all the time and i just cannot work as efficiently as I used to. I forget everything and she begs my boss to write me up and hold me accountable... makes me soooo mad!!

The only thing is that my husband hasnt made one of those comments yet, and i pray that he doesnt because i'm going to go off on him and i know it.... He just stares at me when i have my breakdowns and it makes me sooo mad because i'm like, "dont you have anything to say but to stare at me?!!! I'm fat and i feel ugly and tired and huge and uncomfortable and moody and all you can do is friggin stare at me while I cry??!!! I dont need an audience, you know what i mean???

thankfully he has learned that sometimes opening his mouth isnt the best thing, esp when he's not the one that is struggling to turn over on the bed all night and then have to get up after 5 hours to go to hell and be there for another 8 hours.

So no, you're not the only one, and yes, it is normal.... :) but the good thing is that at least we feel our babies moving inside and it feels so wonderful!! It's also so great to think of holding them and loving them when they are born :)


kara8385 - Wednesday, 23 April
I just wanted to let you know you are not the only one out there who feels like crap and hates work right now. I am soooo tired too! Especially of work.! My boss had the nerve to ask me if I would come back after only 4 weeks so he could go on vacation with his family. Oh that pissed me just right off, then our HR lasy who I have been dealing with maternity leave with, asked me why I am using almost 2 weeks vacation before the baby is here and that usually women work up till the day they have the baby, like trying to make me feel bad for taking off work. UMMMM, you have never been pregnant lady, so you ahve no idea what it is like. I want to sleep and rest and enjoy being away from you people. And don't get me started on when I say I am tired, I don't need to hear, it is only gonna get worse after the baby is born. I freaking know that ok, everyone just needs to back the f*ck off. I am so ready to be off work and away from these people. I am so afraid that I won't want to come back though. Haha! I had a doc appt. this morning and was seriously thinking about calling in casue I so didn't want to be there. So no it is normal, we are getting towards the end and getting anxious, extrememly uncomfortable, moody, etc. I love venting, it makes me feel better, so anytime you need to , just let me know. Good luck at work, and remember, try to go to sleep right when you get home, what a joke! They get their full nights sleep, so our men just don't know. Good luck with everything!!!!

Sorry to hear the awful time your are having that sucks. Im only a part time nanny and have an at home business which i do all the time. but i can i have had it and wish i could just stay home and do my own thing and takes naps( i dont sleep either) but its something we cant afford and my husband and i get into fights every nite about money, its something he obsesses about and tries to blame me for us not having what we should have right now. It sucks and people just keep telling me it gets worse too. ALong with that people ask me if i am due anyday.. which makes me want to smack them lol!!!! I feel your pain, if you need to vent im always here to listen! good luck
