Judesmama - Wednesday, 10 September
Oh my goodness, I can't believe you didn't have her yet!!!!! Where have you been? I was certain both you and I had our babies! I am speechless for you, I hope it's tonight. I can't believe I had mine first with all you have been through. When you DO go in, don't just disappear, let me know, girlie!!!!! What do you think of my little peanut? Can you believe I had a BOY??????? What a shocker! We love him to pieces

Judesmama - Sunday, 7 September
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I am not Libbysmama anymore. I changed it to Judesmama, so you aren't confused...TTYS!

Judesmama - Sunday, 7 September
Hi! Sorry for the novel. I'm just sending this to all of you, because I have too many messages to respond to individually! LOL...you girls are the best. Thank you for all of your kind words and your love and friendship. Yes, baby Jude and I are home now. Our first night went very well. He is taking the Soothies bottles very well, and wakes to eat every 3-4 hours. My milk came in WHOA!!! LOL...get ice packs on those babies! I'm not nursing at all this time, so I need it to go away. And the most exciting thing for me is that I was able to have a BM!!!!! LOL...you have no idea how much I dread that after pushing a watermelon out. I am feeling OK, but I am still really in need of prayer. I didn't put it up in my birth story, but I had a terrible scare after Jude was born. About an hour after delivering I got up to go to the bathroom and started hemmorhaging. Blood clots were everywhere! I sat on the toilet and asked the nurse if that was normal. She RAN out of the room and when she came back she handed me 6 Cytotec pills...and THAT scared the crap out of me. Cytotec is used for abortions, and causes extreme contractions of the uterus, often leading to uterine rupture and can cause death. I was so scared to take 6 of those pills but I felt like I had no choice. It was either take them, or sit there and bleed to death. So, I quickly took them and prayed that God would protect me from the possible effects. Within seconds I felt funny. The nurse looked at me and asked if I was OK, I said I didn't feel good. All of a sudden everything went white and I went down. I could hear voices all around me, they sounded far away, and I was unable to respond. They kept asking me questions and I could not move. I felt paralyzed. I wanted to close my eyes so badly but they kept telling me not to. I just kept hearing, "she has no color", "her eyes are glazed", "she is burning up". Thye kept saying "Angie, Angie, Angie...come on", but I could not move. I knew I had gone in to shock
and was likely dying. Finally I heard a nurse say "Anige, don't look down, look up at the ceiling." So, I forced my eyes to look up and that is when they carried me to my bed. They took my BP and it was skyhigh. They were staring at me like I was already gone! But
slowly, I began to cool off and respond to their questions. One nurse said "You are my hero. How did you come back from that?" And another said, "Don't ever do that again." While all of this was happening, my husband was holding baby Jude and crying his eyes out. He was sure he was watching me die. For the next 2 hours I laid in bed shaking like a madwoman as the Cytotec did it's job of contracting my uterus to stop the bleeding. They told Matt he was not allowed to leave me that night (he wouldn't have after that anyway). Throughout the night the nurses kept pushing on my belly and blood would gush out. They never told me how worried they were, but I could see it in their eyes. By God's grace I came around and the bleeding is much less now. I did have another scare last night, though. I had fallen asleep but all of a sudden felt so terrible that I jerked on my husband to wake him. My heart was racing uncontrollably, my back was throbbing, I felt so nauseous and like I was going to go unconscious again. The room was spinning and I was so terrified of having internal bleeding. He got me a cold cloth and sat me down in a cool room until it passed. My back still hurts awfully. I'm not sure if it's from pushing the baby out or if it's uterine related. They said that the reason I had hemmorhaged was because of the fast labor and delivery. I went from 3 cm to pushing him out in just 2 hours. The pitocin made everything go too fast and hard, and it cause a great trauma to my uterus that it could not recover from. But, I am doing OK and we are enjoying our new baby. It sure is a miracle that it didn't turn out for the worse. Thank you all for your love and prayers. As many of you are preparing to have your babies,
remember that it is still so dangerous. Even after having 4 previously I could never have anticipated the trouble I would have this time. I can't wait until you all have birth stories to share so we can chit chat about our babies. I am changing my name...

Love, Judesmama

Judesmama - Sunday, 7 September
Did you have that baby? Haven't heard a peep from you! Tell me all the details!

Judesmama - Sunday, 7 September
Do you guys think I should change my name now to Judesmama????? Would it be too confusing?

Judesmama - Friday, 5 September
Hi, mama's! Still in the hospital. Birth story and pics are up

Judesmama - Thursday, 4 September
Hey Mama's!!!! Water broke at 7:45 this morning! Gone to have my sweet baby on our 15 year anniversary! Can you believe it?

I'll tell you all about it later.
Love, Angie

Judesmama - Wednesday, 3 September
Angie calle me at work and asked me to log in and send you all a message, her computer connection @ home is down right now. But unfortunately no baby yet!

Judesmama - Tuesday, 2 September
You go ahead and walk, I'm going to stay right here. I can barely walk down the hallway, it feels like she is going to fall out. Babies, it's September 2nd...time to come out!

acasia - Tuesday, 2 September
So you still hanging in there?? I had my baby boy 3 weeks ago, he was 34 and a half weeks and was still 6lbs6.5oz...I knew I was done!! He was in the NICU for a week jusst until he was over 35 weeks, nothing was wrong and the only complications were the WHOLE labour experience...talk about 30hrs of hell and they ended up vacuuming the little guy out in the end. I hope all is well with you!!

Judesmama - Tuesday, 2 September
Instead of saying "this week", let's just go with TOMORROW!!! September 2nd has such a nice ring to it, don't you think? Are you getting an epidural? After this mess I sure as H*LL am!!!!!!!!! In fact, I'll take mine NOW!!!

Judesmama - Tuesday, 2 September
LOL...I would not blame you a bit! Had another run to the bathroom with diarrhea. Had more bloody mucus. More contractions. This could go on forever, baby. I just asked in week 40 if a wire hanger would work to break my water. I'm getting desperate.

Judesmama - Tuesday, 2 September
Oh dearie, I feel ya I was in the hospital on Friday night, contractions started at 4 min apart so we rushed in expecting her to come by morning. They stayed at 2-4 min apart for 14 hours and I had only dialated 2-3 cm. So, they said she wasn't ready and wouldn't break my water, they sent me home. I am still contracting some, but I won't go back in until they are so bad that I have to breathe through them. What a major pain. I can't stand every day that goes by, I hurt so much with everything I try to do. I promise to hang out with you in week 42 so you aren't lonely, we'll get through it together. All of my friends are leaving to have their babies! Hang in, girlfriend. Let me know as soon as you are off to the hospital!

Judesmama - Friday, 29 August
I'm keeping you company. My prayers are doing no good, looks like she will be a Sept. baby after all. Absolutely no action today. Maybe we will end up being the lone women in week 42 I'll keep you posted if anything changes!

Yes, it looks like we will be staying here for the foreseeable future. We own property that we want to build on eventually, but it's not a good time to keep trying to sell at this point. Fall and winter are coming and we need to get things in order.

Judesmama - Thursday, 28 August
Awww...sorry to hear that. My contractions have been pretty good, too. No word on the house, we are taking it off the market and staying put. Just here waiting for baby like you are. We need to go into hard labor tonight and then our babies can have the same birthday TTYS

Judesmama - Thursday, 28 August
I see you haven't been on for a couple of days...did you go and have that baby? I'm still hanging in there...let me know how things are over there!

upchurchmomma - Thursday, 28 August
Hey! great to hear from ya! I am doing as well as can be i suppose! I am emotionally a wreck, i have either screamed or cried pretty much all week lol. I went monday and my cervix is still closed so i have been walking as much as possible trying to help her along! other than that, nothin new, just playin the same waiting game everyone else is! talk to you soon!

krissiehoran - Wednesday, 27 August
aw thanks a million for that! hopefully i wont but i dont mind as long as the baby gets out ok! and for all the pains i am getting down there i must be stretching for accommodation !

Judesmama - Tuesday, 26 August
Yes, loads of labor dust! At this point it may take tons...

It would be funny if we had our babies on the same day! I'm having loads of contractions, so we'll see when this little rugrat decides to make an appearance. Maybe Labor Day

Judesmama - Tuesday, 26 August
Hi, hun! Well I just got your message. I'm not sure why you didn't hear from me earlier, I sent you a message a couple of days ago. Anyway, I spent last night in the hospital, my amnio fluid was low and they thought they would induce this morning, but U/S this morning showed levels back to normal. I am not leaking amnio fluid. Baby weighs 6 lbs 9 oz and is looking good, I am dialated 1 cm right now and dr says it will be anytime. We need lots of labor dust, don't we? TTYS

At first it was bright red blood, it was dripping down my leg and onto the floor. Pretty darn scary. She returned my message and said although it is rare, it is not uncommon for people to experience heavy bleeding episodes after she strips their membranes. She should take it as a hint to not be so rough! The bleeding has finally almost stopped, and I would now consider it mild spotting. Also, it turns out that the bright red clot-looking like thing was my plug, because the next time I went to the bathroom it came out when I wiped. I must have looked like a fool sitting there inspecting my toilet paper, but it was gross, boogery, and bloody. Again my loopy doctor said that was normal. Anyways, I wish our children would stop teasing us and just come already! lol

Judesmama - Sunday, 24 August
Hi! I was thinking of you today, and wondering if you had her yet! Won't be long. I can't believe all that you have been through and she is now refusing to come out! My strong contractions have subsided and she has gotten quiet on me...I can't take it anymore! Still no word from the Swiss couple...can you say frustrated? Anyway, I expect this baby to come this next week...at least I hope so! I will sure let you know, and you do the same if you go into labor! Labor dust to the both of us
