Hi all

I had many entries here about me, my family and my pregnancy so far, but twice the server has up and deleted it all on me and I give up trying to re-establish it. I am sad as enjoyed looking back to see how I was feeling and what we were going through.

I have been with my partner for 11 years now. We got preggers with our first wee bubs late 05, he was born in july 06. We started trying for baby no. 2 in May 2007. (As I want 3 chn before im 35). Got pregnant straight away, but unfortunatley had m/c in first week of June. Waited 1 cycle and tried again, got preggers straight away. So here we are pregant with no. 2. Hope we make it through with this one, spend a lot of time worrying.

Am 13 weeks now, so extatic to be pregnant with no.2. Feeling safer now.

14 October

well, feeling lots better now. No m/s, tiredness has gone. Have had 2 really bad migraines, which i never ever get. And its horrible as there is nothing to take to cure them. I have been sent a tip today to drink gatorade, so i am def going to try it. I am wondering constantly whether I am going to have a boy or girl. Would love a wee girl, so we have one of each, but another little boy for my son Cody to play with would be just as beautiful. I also spend alot of time thinking about the birth. I had a c-section (not by choice) with my first, and had just decided I would go that way again, since I have been there before and know what it is all about. But lately have been thinking how nice it would be to come home soon after the birth and how I really want to be able to lift up my son and cuddle him. He weighs 13kg already, so by the time our next baby is born, how heavy will he be. And I think he'll need just as many cuddles as our new baby, so he doesn't feel like someone is replacing him. I am hoping for a vbac. Anyone thats had one, would love to hear from you and what you thought. WEll hope everyone is well. I am so happy to be pregnant. 25 more weeks just seem like eternity, but i know the day will be here before i know it.

15 November 2007

Only 4 more sleeps till I have my u/s. Am so excited!!! I have debated the finding out the sex of my baby for the past 4/5 weeks over and over. When we first found out we were preggers, I told my h/b that we would wait for a surprise, but now the scan is almost upon us, how can I turn down the opportunity of knowing..... Confused still! Will make a call on the day.

Sleeping is uncompfy for me at the mo. Sore hips and pins n needles in my arms last night. So I guess some of the uncomfortable parts of pregnancy will creep in over next few weeks. Am so happy to have made it half way.

19 November

Well only 3 hours now, until my life changes again! It was changing to find out i was preggers, next to know the sex our of baby, little brother for our son, or a daughter. My guess at this stage is boy. Up until about 4 wks ago, I said girl, but have changed my mind. Had 2 dreams it was a boy, so maybe that has influenced my thinking.

Had bleeding nose lately, but that is only real problem, other than trouble sleeping. Baby is moving every now and then. Lots of movements some days and then very few the next. Will be v reassurring to see our little one today and know that all is ok.

Am just so excited about 3.15pm!!!!!

22 Nov

Well my darling baby decided for me whether we'd find out its sex before birth. IT kept its legs shut the whole time, so we don't know what we are having. We have no more scheduled u/s, but if we do have decided we will still wait till the birth as that is what I had originally planned. I hate calling the baby 'it' so will have to come up with a nick name of some kind. It was so beautiful to see our little bubs on the screen though, playing with its knees and toes and also sucking its fingers. I can't wait to meet him/her.

20 December

24 weeks down 15 to go!!! I am starting to get impatient now! This feeling didnt start until later in my last pregnancy, but I guess I know first hand the joy that is to come. Baby T (this is our nickname for now as we don't know boy/girl and don't want to call him/her it) is very active and I just love all the little movements. I can't wait to meet him/her. Getting indigetion sometimes, but otherwise am having a prettty trouble free time which is great. roll on the new year and then the countdown will really be on!

19 Jan 2008

3rd trimester. Only 11wks to go............... But feels like forever!!!!

I can't wait to meet my little guy/gal? still to find out.

I have a very active baby, which makes me think boy, but in the back of my mind i have always thought girl, but maybe thats becuase I would love a little girl. But a baby brother for my son would be great too!

I love being preggers, but its the nmiddle of summer and its so hot it is depressing me.

81 days to go..................

16 Feb 08

Wow, only 52 days to go now............. Can't believe I was writing last with 81 days to go!!

We are doing really good. My baby is rolling around, I feel big strong rolling movements all the time. I am certain he/she is in a breech or sideways position. I get all my movements/kicks low down and to the sides. I have a midwife appt tues to see how that is going. I know that most babies don't get into position until around 35/36wks, that is when i will be meeting with doc to decide if i have vbac as an option. I am meeting with a friend on tues who is a midwife to talk about it all. i am keep freaking out about vag birth, I am freaked about tearing. I read someones post about having 60+ stitches and man that sounds hellishly worse than the c-sect cut and 1 big stitch!!!! Anyway I do really want to try natural, but also worry about having to end up having an emergency c-sect and having complications. Worry worry worry, we seem to do lots of that during pregnancy. I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET MY LITTLE MAN/LADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Tracey, how's it going, How was your Mumand Dad's visit. Have just had the in laws stay. was good but not the same as my own Mumand Dad. My father in law is had work although it's better now than it used to be, and I have justt produced the first of the next generation to carry on the family name so I am in the good books. lol.
Toby is doing really well, he is more alert now and I think I got a smile yesterday...want to see it again to be sure.
He is such a treasure and it is only really just sinking in that he is mine and I get to keep him... I'm so in love


cakelady - Monday, 28 April
Hi Tracey!
I see you had a girl!!! YEAH!!! I did too!
I don't know how to post pictures on my profile from a disk...so I don't have any pics of my darling up.
Your little girl is adorable! I am so happy for you! A boy and a girl...what a perfect family. : ) Best wishes.
Kelli


lilmami8508 - Sunday, 27 April
thank you!


KIWIMUM - Monday, 21 April
Hey you, I am feeling so much better now which is great. Have been in and out of the hospital getting things checked but it will be a few weeks before i know whether it will heal by itself or if I will need to get it fixed.
Sounds like you are doing really well and Cody is coping with the change well to, must be hard for them when they have been the centre of the universe for so long. Jessica will get more settled soon I'm sure but she sounds fairly chilled about life which is nice, Toby has a scratchy time of day around 5-7 but I have found that I was miss reading him a little and that he is better if I put him to bed and let him settle himself, I think I was over stimuating him. So hard to figure them out at first.


spidermansmama - Sunday, 20 April
Hey Tracey!! Finally HOME! :)
How are you feeling? A section recovery is soo much different than a vaginal. My body is taking a whopping!! I feel good, overall, I guess.... :/ how are you?
I got staples. (15) are you stiched or stapled? The shower is a pain in the butt, and getting up and down... well... and walking.. LOL... I guess nothing is feeling 100 percent. I am wearing a binder half the day.. Are you wearing a binder? It seems to keep everything in place and makes it a little easier to move. I get my staples out tuesday, and they are replaced with butterfly stiches. (I hope they are disolveable)
The c section wasn't too bad, a little scary... I just HATE feeling outta control, and that's how I felt... just sooo outta control. It would have been super scary to not be mentally prepared for that...like an emergency c section... uhhhhh.. I couldn't imagine!! I would have freaked! My spinal block took a little more to my right side so my shoulder literally felt like it was gonna fall off!!
Ben has been a wonderful help! I'm so impressed, and thankful. :) Caleb is a wonderful big brother, and I'm just soooo proud of them both, I really am. :)
How's everything working out at your house? How's cody and alan taking to Jessica? (I still can't believe you had a girl!!! :) )
Soooo, let me tell you how in love I am... :) I LOVE my little Cole.. :) He is just so damn sweet.... my heart melts. :) He is so beautiful.. :) I feel sooo blessed, I really do. :) :) Its a very surreal feeling. I really "feel" like I have a family now. I mean I'm sure you can understand this.. Going from one child to two is just amazing. I really do feel blessed. :) :) :)
Cole is nursing really well. It took almost 3 days for my milk to come in!!
9 pounds 8 ounces!!! 22 inches!! BIG boy!! The doctor told me it was a good idea we scheduled the section b.c. He definatley wasn't coming out vaginally!! Thank God I didn't choose to labor again!!
Anyhow, OUR BABIES ARE HERE!!! :) :) talk with ya soon! I posted pics on my page!! haven't completed all the other stuff though..


KIWIMUM - Wednesday, 16 April
 Congrats you all look so happy, well done she is so cute. I haven't been on as I have been having yet more dramas, I have posted the latest, click on blog on my page or the latest update or look amongst my comments, couldn't work out how to update like I used to...crazy site.


spidermansmama - Tuesday, 15 April
Hey Tracey! I am honestly very excited about tomorrow. I'm feeling a great sense of ease b.c. My gut was telling me a c section was probably going to be to the inevitable. I would HATE to labor AGAIN for so long and be sectioned. I am very glad it is planned. :) I feel good about it. A little nervous, but very excited.
I can't imagine I am carrying a 10 pound baby, as I just don't feel enormous. Maybe a 9 pounder, but 10? That seems a little ridiculous.
I will let you know the details though as soon as I return... or if my phone has enough battery!! Take care! Hope all is going well with you guys!! :) :)


mrt2153 - Sunday, 13 April

spidermansmama - Sunday, 13 April
Yahhhhh!!!!!! :) :) CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! A GIRL!!!!!! How exciting!!!! :) :) :) I'm so happy for you!! Jessica Ann, what a beautiful name!!! :)
I'm glad to head everything went well. I'm sure your sore, and very tired. **heres to a safe and fast recovery** :)
I'm so excited for you!! :)
As for Alan, and the house, men... I swear! What would they do without us!! The same thing happened when I came home from the hospital with caleb,, my nice SUPER CLEAN house was just a disaster! I keep trying to remind myself that, that will probably happen again.. :/ BOOO!! Sometimes they really suck!! Its like, what were you doing?!? Living like a pig!! Ewww. Freaking cave men!! Like, waiting for me to get home to do it?!
Don't feel bad though... I know the same damn thing is going to happen to me... and who feels like coming home from the hospital and cleaning... especially since I know your probably very sore and tender. :/
Anyhow back on a better note!!! I'm soooo happy everything went well for you!! :) and CONGRATS again!!! Can't wait to see pictures!!! And hear how Cody's reacting... :) and all the great little details!! But take care, ok! :) get some much needed rest... :) :) :) you had your baby!!! Yahhhhh!!!!! :)


spidermansmama - Sunday, 13 April
Hey lady! Waiting to hear from you!!!! :) can't wait to hear how things went and boy or girl?! How your feeling... :)

I'm still pregnant... :/ 4 days overdue now. Just starting to get over the "shock" of what happened... washed and repacked my hospital bag... swelling in my damn vagina is finally going down! I know, I know.. TMI!! Sorry.
I have an ultrasound growth scan on monday b.c. Its possible he may be to big for my pelvis.. ?? I think that's a little silly though just b.c. Caleb was 8.5 big but NOT huge... I don't feel bigger than when I was prego with Caleb.. But ya never know I guess...
Anyhow... its so lonely on the message board now... everyone has had their babies.. I don't want to get myself down though. As I'm just starting to feel a little better.
Anyhow enough about my silly situation... dying to hear the news!!!! Hope your feeling ok! :) :) :) write me whenever you get some time... in the mean time I will be keeping an eye out for your announcement!!! :)


spidermansmama - Friday, 11 April
Hey Tracey. I'm devastated. I just returned home today after a 27 hour failed induction. I'm still pregnant!
I'm a mess. Literally a mess.
My vagina feels as if I have already given birth just b.c. Of all of the damn internal exams. I dialated to 2 after cervidil pitocin and a foley bulb. Since it was considered a "social induction" I was sent home.
I cannot believe this. :(

On a better note, I'm sure you had your baby!!! :) can't wait to hear!!!! :)


cakelady - Thursday, 10 April
hi!!
I gave birth to 8# 11oz baby girl on 4-5-08!

: ) kelli


mrt2153 - Thursday, 10 April

sickasadog - Wednesday, 9 April

coliflower - Wednesday, 9 April
Good luck with everything. :)


Trini - Tuesday, 8 April
I wish you all the best in accomplishing your VBAC. Just trust that you CAN and WILL do it.


spidermansmama - Tuesday, 8 April
Hey tracey! How goes it? Ben and I sorted through our differences and luckily I think we are now seeing eye to eye. Thank God!!
Sorry I wrote you a book about my panic attack... that lasted for like 48 hours.. I'm just stressed out about labor... but I'm feeling content.. I'm starting to feel at ease about all of it. I just need to focus on the positive, which I am trying to do... everything can go wonderfully.. :)
How are you feeling? Antsy or at peace? Content or anxious?
Well.... our time is coming, and if we don't talk before our delivery's I wish you a great birth! And of course good luck! I hope all goes well for us! *HUG* the time is soon... very very soon... :)
