A Baby is a Miracle

This little tiny baby
Was sent from God above
To fill our hearts with happiness
And touch our lives with love
He must have known
We'd give our all
And always do our best
To give our precious baby love
And be grateful and so blessed

I didn't even see any of the replies on this blog until now. Weird!

Don't worry about not writing back. I have been slow at replies lately too. I've just been so busy and tired. I'm sure we ALL relate, LOL.

How are things with you, baby and your daughter now?

Perhaps all of the contractions that I had been having since April will make labour easier? One can only hope, LOL Last Monday at my ob appointment, he said I was at 3 cm, 80 to 90 % effaced, with water bulging. I wonder if any of the harder contractions that I've had tonight might have progressed anything. I doubt it.

it really was a crazy day!
Thanks, I am much better now than I was on Thursday. It was scary, and I got really angry. I was so thankful that Allyson wasn't with us!! I realise now that there is no sense in being angry anymore. h told me there is no sense in saying anything to this lady bc it was an accident. He is sure that she didn't mean it. I am too really, but I think for me it's just that I want for her to think about it more next time that she decides to pull out. Maybe it will make her look. Nothing bad really happened, except if you count pain. It could have been much worse, so we were extremely lucky.

The specialist told me in late June that they wouldn't let me be pregnant beyond Sept 1st, but seeing how it's Labour Day, I think maybe (HOPEFULLY) that it will be a Tuesday baby. If not, I have another ob appointment WITH MY REGULAR ob on Wednesday. I'm glad it will be with him. He will help me to decide what to do. I really trust his judgement.

I hope to be able to leave the hospital saying what I did last time, when Allyson was born. I told everyone that "I've lost 14 lbs over night, and I didn't even have to exercise" LOL.

well, I'll let you know as things progress. Take care, and ttyl

eastern-Canadian-Lady - Wednesday, 20 August
A break, what's that? LOL. 22 months is a long time. I really wouldn't want that! baby is looking and sounding healthy, so that is the important part.

I have no clue what her blood type is. You'd think I would since I raised her from age 6, but it never came up. I know that it's recorded with the hospital, so there was really no need to know. I don't know her brother's either. I don't even know my own daughter's blood type. Generally they don't tell you here.

That's actually quite an interesting theory. I mother and sister are both O neg. Neither of them get sick often, but when they do watch out! H is O pos. and he is the same way, and allergic to penicillin. ....I wish I knew my own. I think I'm B pos. I get sick ALL the time.

I was sick from Sept, when I started working in a kindergarten class. I started throwing up at the start of October. I found out about a sinus infection. It didn't clear up, and got much much worse to the point of barely being coherent.

Then I found out at the end of October that I was misdiagnosed. I had a really bad lung infection, which went through all of my bronchial tubes. In Nov I had finally weaned off of a med that I was able to get off of it completly. I think that made me sick for a while too.

I was sick right from sept. Then in Jan I found out I was pregnant, at about 10-12 wk estimate. I didn't even know I was pregnant bc I was sick so long before hand.

I was ill through Feb, when I stopped working. I was spotting and contracting badly on April 3rd, so they told me NO exercise, and not to lift anything heavier than 5 lbs. I was still extremely ill.

I stayed sick right up until May, when I found out I had another infection, but I can't remember what it was now. but again in my throat I think. I moved at the end of May. Then I was ill off and on in June. I lost 37 lbs during that time! I only started to gain in mid June. Nobody could tell I was pregnant until then.

H said there was no way he wanted to me to work after that. The baby was so small and very malnourished that we feared it would get much worse it I went back to work. He told me to stay home and get healthy. h says that he doesn't want to go through anything like this again, so no more babies. I think I am starting to come to terms with that.

Since I am not able to exercise, I haven't been able to unpack much yet. My house is a pig sty. I cry bc it's such a mess! I wish I could nest more. Oh well, maybe after the baby is here, then I can do a bit more.

My MIL wants to stay with us for a few weeks. NO THANKS!! my house is a mess, she is intolerant, and I will be/am hormonal. I told her that since all of h lives near her, about a 4 and a half hour drive away, that we will go TO HER HOUSE for thanksgiving. That way everybody can see the baby all at once. And the bonus is that she won't have time to drive me crazy(-er)!

You sound like you will have a very busy time too. My baby is due right near the start of school. My step daugher's birthday is only a few days after. then my best friend is moving away, then thanksgiving. I think H should handle everything, LOL.

my h is great too, I just hate having to ask for help. I am so stubborn! He is driving crazy lately bc he is SOOO MAX RELAX. Nothing bothers him. the house could literally burn down around us and I could picture him saying "it's just stuff. we can get more. that's why we have insurance. don't worry, we'll be fine." It's TOO laid back for me. It is making me more stressed bc he isn't doing anything and can't see what needs to be done. He wants me to point every single thing out to him. He asked once, so I grabbed a paper and pen. I filled two whole sheets with a list. Slowly I have picked away at them. He did one thing. He is very supportive of what I do though, so sometimes that helps to get him out of the dog house. I think some of my stress is hormone induced, LOL. Is there a place where I can purchase pregnancy hormones to inject into him? LOL.

I think I talk/write too much all the time. No, I take that back. I KNOW I talk/write too much all the time.

I suppose I should run. I made supper and served Ally, but I didn't eat anything. I'm starving.

Have a good night.

hey thnxx for the answerx the one i have now is jus 400 on folic acid. today im going out to buy the one a day womens prenatal with DHA it says it has folic acid800

millercl22 - Wednesday, 20 August
Mrs. M.H.- I agree with you about hanging in there with all the tough stuff that we encounter during pregnancy. Sometimes I lose perspective when I experience the tough stuff and wallow in it. This is my 2nd and it's much harder this time. But the pain and discomfort are only temporary and it's worth it for the life of my child.

eastern-Canadian-Lady - Wednesday, 20 August
I remember you, I just forgot what week you were in, LOL. In the tub seems to be the only place that I can guarantee that my monkey will move.
I don't want to gain much more. OMGoodness, In the last two months I've gained 20 lbs!! Mind you I hadn't gained at all up until then. My daughter does the same thing with hugging and kissing my belly. I can't even believe that you are still working! i was so sick in my pregnancy that there was NO way I could work. I have been off since Feb, with no return in sight.

Chicken Pox is terrible. My step daughter had it 4 times. I when she was a tiny baby, then one in a foreign country, bc it was a different strain. Then when she moved back she got a third strain but it wasn't bad so after she moved with us, she didn't have enough of the third strain to get immune to them, so she got a small amount again. Our doc said that since she had them so many times, that she might just keep getting them, but luckily she hasn't had them since.

it would be nice if baby's just slid out, LOL!
Basically, today my ob sent me to the hosp. he was worried bc i was leaking something since Friday night. They tested, it's not amniotic, they did a NST on me to check baby's heart rate and for contractions. It was fine, so was the ultrasound he ordered today. Baby is still really high up, so it looks like it will take a long time for baby to come.

I hope things are well with you. ttyl

HappyMomma01 - Monday, 18 August
well hey thank you for the tip. i wish i would have know about it sooner..lol i go in on the 20th to have my baby..so im very happy that the end is near.lol well how have things been going on your end? all is well i hope!!

Hey, the school thing turned out great.
At first the lady that always gave me problems last year about not being there called me, on my cellphone. I thought that went a little too far, personally. She was telling me that she was not going to play games with me this year. I was sitting there thinking " what games? looks like i'm the one trying to avoid them.." haha. But she told me to be in her office the following day at 8am. I was just like "GREAT." But good thing I didn't have to talk to her, it was the principal, and he was nice enough to offer me homeschooling. I am so happy I will be able to be home with my baby and still continue schooling

sadiee - Tuesday, 12 August
Oh man..I don't want to quit! Lol. I just don't want to be in a public school. They weren't very nice to me the last semester of school I had before summer vacation. They would not let me do anything. They told me homeschooling wasn't realistic and that they wouldn't let me do it. I honestly don't think it's their say in telling me what type of stuff I can do. They also told me I couldn't use pregnancy as an excuse, for when I was absent. If i was 10 minutes late, they'd call the police to go threaten my dad to take him to jail.

Daisy23 - Friday, 8 August
Hi there, thank you so much for the comment you left to my question, helped alot :)

eastern-Canadian-Lady - Friday, 8 August
Hi,
I'm doing well, thanks for asking. How about you?

Everything seems great at the moment. the whirl wind was bc of the problem with measuring too small. I was measuring 1 cm too small, then 2 then two and a half, then 4. I went to the specialist who took a good deal of time looking at a special ultrasound and she didn't see anything wrong, so all she did was change my due date from the tenth of Aug to the 1st of Sept. Well I think that was week 33. When I was measured at weeks 34, 35 and 36 the baby measure at 34 weeks each time. So the baby didn't seem to grow AT ALL in three weeks.

Another thing that was happening was:
H's grandmother was admitted to the hospital a week ago last Sunday. She had a ct scan on Tuesday, went home Wednesday. Her doc is thorough, so we are very pleased about that.

We went over on Friday and stayed for the long weekend (bc of civic holiday). Of course Ally went with us, and we stayed at h's parents. It's four and a half hours away.

I actually ended up going to labour and Delivery near my in laws place, at the same hospital where h's gma is was staying. I waited in pain from Friday at 5 am until Sat at about 11 pm. H's mom kept trying to make me feel guilty for wanting to go. I was so angry! She said I couldn't be in any pain bc I wasn't in labour. Like she would know how I was feeling! She hasn't had a child in 40 yrs. I went anyway bc I couldn't walk all day, and was contracting, and having bad pain. Even walking to the washroom was very painful.

They gave me demerol, and said that if I wasn't staying so close to the hospital, then they would have kept me for the night, but they were super busy, and the house I was staying at was only about a 5 minute drive.

I am so glad it wasn't labour, bc they told me that they DO NOT EVER use epidurals, bc they don't have a anestetist(spelling?) that is willing to stay in the hospital for hours until delivery. So anyway, the doc said I am 20% effaced, and 1 cm dilated. My first due date was Aug 10th, so I wonder when this is going to happen. I am still having the pains, but mostly in the evening or if I walk at all.

I really don't know exactly what to think of everything from the appointment that I went to yesterday. I am happy, but skeptical. They said I had gained 3 lbs in a week, which is a lot, but not too concerning to me bc I think most of it is water.

I also mentioned the concern about measurements. He measured and said I had measured right on target, right at 37 weeks. I don't really know what to think bc he said everyone takes measurements a little differently, which makes me wonder if HE took it differently than the others 4 did. (the specialist, and three other obs) Know what I mean?? Anyway, for now I am not worried about it. I will worry about it if I need to next week, for now I will just try to enjoy some good news. So, that means no specialist was needed yesterday. (Last week they told me that the baby hadn't grown at all since week 34 and that if this week was the same that the specialist would probably take the baby right then.) which means no baby yesterday either. At least it gives baby a little more time to grow healthier.

You are at 37 weeks too right? When are you off of work? I know what you mean about other people's attitude rubbing off on our little ones. I don't like it when that happens either, but at least your sister is gone now. I hope she learned a few things while she was with you.

I wish you lots and lots of luck, love, peace and sleep.

thanks for the update, ttyl. off to make supper....
ok i'm back....
Well, I should run. My friend has no vehicle and wants me to run her to the store. I don't really want to bc she takes her two kids, they are LOUD and RUN through the store nearly knocking people over. I always end up disciplining them. I wouldn't mind if they were well behaved, but they aren't, and she takes a long time. Last time she took 3 and a half hours just to get groceries. I ended up taking her kids back to my van bc they were so bad. I feel bad for her in a way, bc she has it hard, but I feel like she takes advantage of me sometimes too. Anyway, I would never let anyone starve, so I guess I should run to get it over with.
ok, I'm back it only took 2 and a half hrs this time.

I can understand wanting to know what the baby looks like. I think this one will look a lot like Allyson. I hope the baby is as funny and silly too. My baby doesn't move much, but as soon as I step into the tub, baby is all over the place, LOL. It is so funny to watch. My belly will be all cone shaped, and lop sided.

Allyson is doing well. She is so excited that on Tuesday night, when I told her about the baby possibly coming on Wednesday, she couldn't even sleep. She asked me if I could just "go have it now" bc she wanted to see the baby.

So this was WAY too long winded, I am sorry about that. I just felt the need to explain it. It probably makes more sense now. All in all I would say everything is pretty good at the moment.

How are things in your family right now?

well, I must actually send this now. I think I should head to bed. have a good night.

HappyMomma01 - Thursday, 7 August

moms the word - Tuesday, 5 August
Thank you for your comment. I called my doctor and asked her for clarification and they said they aren't worried about his weight but his length. My husband is a shorter person so maybe he is just short like his daddy? I am going back on the 26th for a follow up ultrasound to see if he is growing at the "normal" rate. I'll keep everyone posted on what they say. Thanks so much for your support!

manda1834 - Tuesday, 22 July
Thanks so much! You helped a lot! Have a great day!

preeti - Tuesday, 22 July
thnx. No i dont have pains and the tightening is not for long too...so i guess its okay...

christyp - Tuesday, 22 July
Thank you for replying. I have a large pillow, about the length of my body that I use for my knees as well as lying on but hubby has been complaining that I smother him at night with it! LOL! I actually do, I was tossing one night and realized I had thrown the pillow right over his face!! Thank Goodness for patient men! I think I'm going to check into one of those pillows that wrap around your whole body so I can't throw it around at night. What I wouldn't give right now for a solid night of sleep!!

***MDelly*** - Tuesday, 22 July
We tried for a boy but got a third girl..LOL That is okay though, my girls are so much fun. I do wish however we would have had a boy somewhere to make it fair for my poor hubby but God has a plan I am sure. Glad to hear that it might be nothing. Thanks. Take Care.

***MDelly*** - Tuesday, 22 July
Thanks for the info on my question about diarreha/labor. I def don't want to have her this soon that is why I was worried a bit. I have to have a c-section and I picked the latest date to do it or should I say the one closest to my due date. I want her to be able to bake as long as she needs to. I don't believe in induction and all of that unless its medically necessary of course. I think the contractions are just BH and hopefully I just ate something that upset me. Congrats on your pregnancy. How are you feeling?

lilmissred - Monday, 21 July
Thanks for the suggestion! Ive seen those pills, but I wasnt sure if I had to take them along with something else or not. How many of those did u take a day, 3-4 a couple times a day?? andhow long did it take before u saw an increase?

eastern-Canadian-Lady - Saturday, 19 July
yes, apparently "Barely There" is growing normally now!! Sometimes we feel things that are weird to other people, but you gave me a new way to look at it. Thank you! I still want to be able to give them each individual attention, and h assures me that he will do whatever I need whenever I need so that we are all ok.

I completely understand about blood relatives. My father doesn't even acknowledge the fact that I am his, never mind my children. My step children have two sets of grandparents that gush over them. The grandparents barely talk to Allyson except on special occasions. Ally isn't very close to family on either side, but thinks they love her just the same bc we keep telling her that. My brothers and sister don't all share a last name. There are 17 of us in total, if you count all of the step siblings and half siblings. There were 5 last names! It really didn't make a difference. There was only a difference with the last two bc they were born when there was more money, so they are spoiled, and did less work. Then again they are 10 and 14 yrss younger than me.

h's don't really know what to say, LOL. They probably feel like they are stuck on the 10month roller coaster that they can't get off of. They just do their best to help where they can. Your h sounds nice. Mine is too.

I haven't thought about a day spa, however I have gone to get a massage twice. Both times I really enjoyed it. I want to get another one tomorrow, but forgot to make an appointment. I think I will call and book one for during the week, bc my back has been hurting a bit here and there for the last few days. I think it was much worse last pregnancy, and started much earlier. Having it start at 34 weeks makes me feel like I got off pretty easy this time around. I wish that the morning sickness would go away soon though, LOL. Anyway... I was told that there are certain places that they can't massage for pregnant women too, like the ankles. (I hate people touching my feel anyway, so that will be easy to avoid.)
Moving was very stressful, there are a thousand boxes lining all of my rooms. Now that I have emptied another box, I am feeling a little more relaxed. I think I will see if h wants to massage my back. Lucky him, LOL.

Anyway, have a good night. thanks again for a new way of looking at my time with Ally.
ttyl

MUMMIEDEBZ - Friday, 18 July
Well i dont feel as bad now after your comment, I had been feeling like a beach whale and totally worry about it, but since last week ive decided that i will put on what ever weight and then i can loose it in time after the baby is born hopefully lol. I wish i could breast feed, but im not going to with this baby, i tried with Nathan my 1st little boy but ended up in agony with infections and sore nipples put me off. Im very tender there to start with so i decided to give up and use the bottles. We are concentrating on getting all the bedrooms decorated been doing major construction work in our house so to be honest i havant much time to worry about my weight anymore lol. Hope your ok keep in touch and let me know how your getting on. x
