Well, I did have a page on here and it seems to have vanished :( I am currently 11 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child. I currently have 2 little boys, so I am kinda hoping for a girl this time around. This pregnancy is definitly different than the last two. I have battled morning sickness for the last 3 months and finally it is coming to a close....I am starting to feel semi-normal again..(then again, define normal and you will get at least 1000 different reasons)....My belly is starting to definitly show too :)
Week 13: I feel like we are finally starting to make some progress :) Finally I am in the second trimester. I was able to hear the heart beat this week, and the doctor said that it sounds perfect :) I am still hoping for a little girl, since I already have the 2 boys. Either way, I want a healthy baby, but it would be a nice change of pace to have another girl in the house. In a few weeks I have to go for a Level 2 sonogram...so I am kinda nervous, it obviously means that they have to keep an eye on things. It is due to the fact that they have me on what I like to call "mood" medication...so they just have to be sure it doesn't affect the little one. It is important that I am on it though, so I guess this is pretty routine. It has finally sunk in that i have a little one inside of me...the heart beat was very strong and loud, so I know everything will be ok :)
WEEK 15: Wow...I can't believe it is already time to find out :) I think it will still be a few weeks, but I am so excited to finally know what I am going to be bringing into this world. My moods have balanced out a lot since the beginning, and my appetite is slowly getting back to normal. I really don't have any cravings. Everyone says I look farther along then I am, or that I could be having two, I am not, there is only one baby in there. I guess because it is my 3rd I am showing a lot sooner. At this point all is well, and the waiting game continues....
WEEK 18: I found out today that I am having a little GIRL!!!!!!!! I am so excited, it is what I was hoping for. Daddy2BE is very excited as well, I went and had a level 2 sonogram today, that showed all the organs and that they were functioning properly, and everything else is A.O.K !!!!!! The nurse was funny, she said..well I either look for a little turtle head, or a hamburger bun, and I definitly see a hamburger bun!!!! So as we approach the halfway mark... Mackenzie Montana...is on her way :)
Week 20: Halfway there...time really is flying by, it really doesn't seem like it though:) It has finally officially set in that this is really happening!!! I had another sonogram yesterday and Mackenzie is definitly a little girl :) I am so excited. I found out that she already weighs a full pound which is really good. So far so good...to be honest, she measured about a week ahead of schedule, so I may be able to see my little princess sooner :)
Week 33: Wow, time has sure flown by. Things have been ok, up until now I suppose. I have been admitted to the hospital for over a week now, on strict bedrest. My cervix is 4cm dilated, and these are the doctor's orders. The baby seems to be doing well, her heartbeat is strong and she was measured at 5lbs, 2 weeks ago. So by now she should be 6 something. They want to keep me here until I am 34 weeks, because by then she has a better chance of not being in the NICU that long. So my highlights of the day are having access to the laptop, cable tv, having the ever so scrumptious (sarcasm) hospital meals delivered, and being able to take a 5 minute shower daily. I have my moments when I am in a good mood, but today I am losing it. I have been here for a week already, I have a home, and 2 other children who depend on me. I know that I have to look into the best intrest for my unborn child, but it is so hard to try to occupy myself daily, when my reality still goes on. (MY KIDS,MY HOME,MY BILLS).......................................So who knows when I am going to deliver...................I want her to be as healthy as possible,but it doesn't help that I feel like I am gonna go nutso in the long run:(

Message to all This may be interesting to some of you. Seema`s email is seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com
Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.
You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

Hang in there Keri! You are doing awesome! I have heard the magnesium is pretty brutal, so I know you are a strong woman for having endured that. At this point, your baby is practically full term so I don't know why the docs are being so overly cautious. Whether she wants to come now or in six days, she will be just fine. Congrats and if you get fed up just tell all the 'professionals' to kiss off and that you don't care if she comes a couple of weeks early. ;) She is going to be just perfect!
jennybunny2 - Tuesday, 11 Mar
I feel bad for you. I was in the hospital for three days and almost went nutty. Luckily I'm home for bedrest (for now!). I got the steroid shots and was on magnesium too. I go to the doc two to three times a week...Good Luck. Hope he can hold out a few more days
amberlei - Monday, 10 Mar
Hey thanks for the response. My doc didnt seem to worried and I guess worst case senario is I will have to have a Csection! How far along were you when you found out that your placenta moved?
bittybop - Monday, 10 Mar
P.S. Is your home nearby the hospital? Can your family visit? Also I am with you on the hospital food. I was in the hospital a couple weeks ago and sent the hubby out for something else. I could eat parts of the meal but there were other parts I was frightened of :)
bittybop - Monday, 10 Mar
Hey, I am sorry you have to be in the hospital on bedrest. I can't imagine how you feel. I am at home on bedrest and that is sucking but I am thankful to have my bed and be around my family. I was reading your last VIP entry and that is wonderful the baby is already 6+ lbs. It is also great you were ablet o receive the steroid shots. I am sure that will reduce NICU time. I have to say congrats on making it to 33 weeks. I am at 30 now and hoping to make it a ways more. I am thankful for every day I am afforded with him baking inside. I know you must be frustrated, it takes so much of yourself to not just completely breakdown. At least that is the way it is for me. Regardless if baby comes soon or in a few more weeks, this will all be over shortly and if baby is in the NICU, you can feel good knowing that your bed rest has helped limit those days and hours. My daughter was born at 34 weeks 5 lbs 9 oz. Her arrival was a surprise to us and the docs and there was no time for shots or anything. She spent 12 days in the NICU b/c of her lungs, but I really feel like the shots would have lessened that tremendously. There was just no time. Anyway, please keep us posted how you are doing. Take care!
Kapricesfirstbaby - Saturday, 8 Mar
Thank you so much! I feel the same way. I don't want to put my child in daycare until she understands the places that are NOT to be touched, and until she can tell me, 'Mommy, so and so hit/said this to me!' Its KILLING me! :/
mommye2b - Thursday, 20 Dec
Well, we tried last night and nothing yet. We may try again. Hubby is a little freaked out b/c he thinks he's having sex w/ his baby, lol.

cristinax3 - Wednesday, 3 Oct
thanks for your message...my second daughter was born april 22nd--great time to have a baby. something about springtime plus you have a very valid excuse to hibernate all winter...congrats to you too!!
ginny03 - Wednesday, 3 Oct
yeah if i did know it would take soooo much to hold it in...yeah he really doesnt want to find out because we have one of each and i do still have alot of my stuff from the kids but just not the big things...yeah i starting giving some of my stuff to my hubbys sister and yeah....i think thats what gets you pregnant..when you give your baby stuff away. oh well. i mean its not really that important that we find out but i just want to know..im soo confused =[
yeah in your case you should find out because you have 2 boys .... you need that girl, lol.
ginny03 - Wednesday, 3 Oct
oh i know it does seem so far away. yesterday when i was talking with my husband i guess that we decided not to find out he said that he liked it better that way...with my son i didnt know and my daughter we werent going to until the u/s tech told me that i had a very active lil girl, which then i totally burst into tears. but he offered me 2 weeks he'll stay home with me and take care of the other 2, i can but whatever i want for the baby (like playpen highchair ...) without him saying anything and after the baby is born hell take over all the chores for a month!!!!!! thats insane and all that because he doesnt want to find out...but i know that when i go for my ultrasound he wont be there so i dont know if i just want to peek and not tell him...its killing me already...i dont know ahhhh. even though it really doesnt matter because we do have one of each and i still was smart enough to save every teeny bit of clothing...but its so hard one way or the other i dont know if i should or not...well my question for you is ... do you think i should peek or at least let the tech write it down on a piece of paper if i choose to look at it later???
ginny03 - Wednesday, 3 Oct
things are ok, but my sexual drive is crazy with my other 2 i didnt want any at all...and now my hubby is even telling me 'no'...what is that about??? the world as i knew it has changed. lol. sorry if im being foward but i dont have anyone to vent that stuff too...theyd just tell me im crazy. oh well.
your kids are adorable....i love joshua sleeping in the highchair ive also had many moments like this.
mitzumama - Monday, 1 Oct
All pregnancy long I think we notice little nesting tendencies, but let me promise you this... when you really get the nesting bug, (the week before the baby is due) it will be like nothing you've ever known!!! I cleaned the tub with a tooth brush right before the baby came. It's not so weird to do all that cleaning, but when you are really big, can hardly bend over and should be saving your energy, it seems really odd. I keep noticing that I should clean the toilet better, but I think that is because I am leaning over it a lot these days. hee hee
angeleyes3 - Monday, 1 Oct
hi, how are you doing?
just had my scan today and found out im having another baby girl!
are you still moody? i was terrible till about 2 weeks ago, i was awful to everyone, until my bf and i had an argument and he told me how much of a pain in the arse i was being! i hadnt realised how bad i was, the doc said it was hormonal and i later found out my auntie and cousin were pyscho with their 3 rd baby, o if it gets worse like mine did, just remember you're not mad lolxx
mitzumama - Monday, 1 Oct
P.S. My thyroid is just fine, but I fall asleep all the time! hee hee. I have a class tomorrow night from 4pm to 8pm and let me tell you what... I will probably sleep through more than half of it.
mitzumama - Monday, 1 Oct
How is week ten treating you? Hope you're great!
sunnyblossom - Saturday, 29 Sep
hey, thanks for your post. i think during pregnancy it's possible that your thyroid hormone levels drop. that's due to the hormonal changes. as far as i know it can balance itself out again after you give birth, however there are women that actually do have an under-active thyroid after birth. it means that your metabolism slows down. The thyroid hormones (T4, T3) are part of the metabolism regulation, so depending on how low your levels are it affects your weight (gain). You have the opposite to mine, my thyroid levels were a little too high, so I don't know too much about an under-active thyroid. Has your doc told you how low your levels are, has he expressed any concerns? I wouldn't worry too much, maybe your levels are just a little low due to pregnancy. Maybe ask your doc, if he/she thinks you should do something about it or if it'd just fine. If you want to read more about thyroid, there is a natural health doc in Australia, called Dr. Sandra Cabbot, her webpage is WEIGHTCONTROLDOCTOR.COM.AU (name is a little misleading cause she also does a lot on weight control, but there is a section for thyroid probs and you can send her team an email), or google it, there are is a lot of helpful information on the net. hope that helps.if you got any more questions leave me a message. Good luck with your tooth by the way, hope that'll all be fine, root canal is no fun. I'm like you, I'd just go for pulling it :-) All the best to you and your little babs

yes i am going to stick to the A names, the hard part is getting my hubby to agree lol. i like either aidan or austin for a boy and avery (ava for short) for a girl. my hubby apparently has been telling the kids that the babys name will be anthony so that he can say....A TONYYYYY with that italian accent lol thats exactly how the kids tell ppl when others ask if i have any names yet. well c i still have time to talk him into it and i know ill win. so hows your day going for you?? i feel like ive been on a roller coaster both my kids are sick so my oldest has been home, he can hardly talk but yet hes able to play and destroy his room looking for a toy. i dont know how im going to handle the summer i think thats my biggest fear because then ill have a lil one plus my other two all day. im really considering summer camp lol
sunshinegirl1975 - Friday, 28 Sep
Thank you b/c it has really bothered me. I am very happy with my current situation and would not in a million years change it. But I am sure deep down I wish he had been different. He was my soul mate in many different ways but just to violent. I understand what you are saying about nodding off at work....I wake my self up by my head hitting the comp screen...my boss has caught me a couple of times....lol. Congrats on your pregnancy
mitzumama - Friday, 28 Sep
Wow! We do sound alike, aside from that your morning sickness has subsided and mine is trudging merrily along. I am excited to watch your pregnancy progress along with my own. It's so weird, I have been craving pizza too. But then I had it twice and now I am not so keen about pizza. Thanks for introducing yourself. I look forward to hearing from you again.
