2007- 2008 has brought some major changes to my life, all positive. It's amazing how you can love someone that you have never even met.
My husband and I are soo excited to bring a beautiful little girl into this world. We were engaged last fall after 2 years, bought a house in October and found out I was pregnant in November. It was not planned, but I would not take it back for anything..we went to Vegas in January and eloped. So simple and easy. Down the road we plan on having a real wedding, but Olivia is our main focus right now.
Olivia Irelyn Swan will be her name...Already the center of my universe and I think she already knows it. She is very active and it never gets old feeling her move.
June 17th - Today I had my checkup. The doctor checked me to see if Olivia has dropped and she is in position. I am dilated to 1cm, not much.. but it's a start. haha.. The last few days I have been having stronger BH's and am feeling more pressure on my bladder and hips. I am not due for 17 days, but thinking she might come early. Wish me luck...

I would not take your iron pills with milk. The calcium in milk actually inhibits the absorption of the iron and is thus counterproductive. Take the pills with orange juice or anything else with vitamin C, as that assists with the absorption. It would be a shame to take all that iron and then not have it absorb. I am taking two Slow Fe per day, and fortunately it has not been a problem for me.

Hi Mindie, I am also on iron supplements and mine say not to take with dairy among other things. That is what could be making your stomach upset.
Bz mamma - Thursday, 15 May
take the iron pill in the morning with a glass of orange juice. Iron digests well with vitamin C. good luck

I really liked Olivia too! I guess we really both wanted a name that ended in an 'A'...I wanted Talia, Olivia or Amelia. Amelia it is!! :)

Hi!
Yep, I'm delivering at Hoag. I live right next to it. I had my 1st at Saddleback, since my insurance at the time didn't include Hoag. I'm so excited! Except we'll be moving to Mission Viejo before the baby's born. I'll have to do the drive again. I hope I don't go into labor during rush hour!
Are you delivering at Hoag? I see you live in Aliso Viejo. How do you like living in that area?

cinnammonngirl - Tuesday, 13 May
My due date is June 28th...although she feels like she wants to come a LOT sooner than that (do you know what I mean??). We've named her Amelia Mary. How about you? :)

some people say BH doesn't give much pain, just discomfort and tightening, so we'll see!
alli - Monday, 12 May
I am having another c-section. I have a fibroid growing and the doctor told me that he wouldn't be able to give me meds to help me along with labor...basically that I'd have to do it all by myself, I opted for another c-section. He was going to allow a v-bac....but after hearing no meds to help with contractions, I was okay with another section!!
I see my dr. tomorrow also...want to ask him about the size of baby and perhaps moving me up a week as well. Don't know about you, but I'm just about ready for this baby to come out! It's breeched and the kicking in my crotch, although it's great, can be a little annoying at times!! Not to mention the head that sticks out of my left side, making holding my son and sleeping painful!
Hope all goes well tomorrow....let me know!
alli - Monday, 12 May
The doctor has me scheduled for July 1st. My original due date was the 9th...
excitedtoseebaby - Saturday, 10 May
I'm due July 1st but I am hoping she will come a little bit early.
mattie4 - Saturday, 10 May
He is a boy...my 4th...LOL. If Tristan continues to get big, they will be inducing me. Depending on how fast he gets big, it could be as early as 36 wks. I am hoping it doesnt go that way seems too early to me. I really really hate pitocin...yuck. Either way i am to be induced ... either 36 wks or 38. Keep in touch, we can complain together about the aches and pains...LOL
cinnammonngirl - Friday, 9 May
I had an ultrasound two weeks ago and she was 3lb 8oz. I assume she must be about 4lb by now!! :)
excitedtoseebaby - Friday, 9 May
I'm right there with you...I think around 4 to 4.5 pounds is normal for right now. I know that when I had my 4D U/S the tech said that she would guess I would go two weeks before my due date because my Aubrey was so big. She already had chipmunk cheeks. Everyone reassures me that the bigger the better, they are healthier and sleep through the night...I am hoping she stays under 9 lbs...
lisasmells - Friday, 9 May
oh and id like to add... i was born 9lbs3.........and my bf was born 8lbs9...............so i think im in for a hugggeee baby!
lisasmells - Friday, 9 May
hey, just read ur comment and thought id say, i have a few books and on each book they say different things about the size of the baby now (32 weeks) some say 3-4lbs and i have one that says 4lbs maybe 5. i think its just different babys grow different rates.. if ur baby was too big for how far gone u r, ur midwife would tell u and be extra keen on checking up on her. u should be okay. xxx
alli - Friday, 9 May
I am from 31 weeks peeking ahead...I had my u/s done this morning and my baby is measuring 4lb 12oz....according to the site, it is HUGE!! I'm going with that's the reason why my belly is soo big! haha
mattie4 - Friday, 9 May
hi, i had a ultrasound wed too, and mine came out the same...the tech said the u.s. had me at 33 weeks and that my baby weighs in at 4.8. I had my u.s. due to gestational diabetes...which tends to make bigger babies. Don't worry too much, b/c the u.s. can be off a pound or so :). My dr is just keeping a closer eye on the size of this one.
joshswife - Thursday, 8 May
Don't worry about having a big baby. I am a post-partum nurse and moms deliver babies naturally that are 8, 9 and even 10lbs. Some doctors will make you worry about this, but don't let them! C-Sections are more money for the docs. Remember Your body was meant to birth Your baby!
CCQ - Thursday, 8 May
That sounds like, me, I was 22 weeks before I actually gained any weight. Now I am up by 25 pounds. I feel so huge too!
