My husband and I have been trying for about a year and it came as a total shock once we stopped activley trying. I am early on right now but so excited.

September 24, 2007

Well I am going to see a Maternal Fetal Specialst at the request of my doctor next week. I am having the hardest time getting my insuline levels regulated. I had a melt down crying fit yesterday for next to nothing and had to make my husband promise to look past me being crazy. I get mild sicky belly throughout the day and my nipples are getting a lillte soar. I am haivng strange dreams! ;) I go in two weeks to get the ultra sound that should show something. The one I got 3 days ago just showed my little cell blob. We are earlier than we thought. :)

Went to Er this morning for awful cramps and bleeding. They told me to take it easy that this was an attempted miscarriage. I go back in 2 days to have blood drawn again and another ultra sound in 2 weeks. ;(

Seriously... I am ready to know if my "Yolk Sack" is going to be a baby or not. I am enjoying all of your stories and good wishes! I am crampy ;(

YAY THERE IS A HEART BEAT! On thursday the 4th we saw our little one and the heart beat is strong! It is real now. I am ready now!

Tuesday, 4 Dec

We were in a car wreck over the weekend and I went to the ER. They found a hearet beat and all seemed to be fine. My OB wants me to come in today to double check. I am showing and not sleeping AT ALL! I am so excited!

sorry i didnt comment back for so long! well i gave him 2 oz of water, and then realized it was the formula we had him on. i was trying the thicker formula with a a rice formula base or something for spitting up b/c he seemed to be throwing up all when he ate. i really hated that stuff b/c it was impossible to get the formula shakin into the water good enough and it would block the nipple therefore keeping my lil man from getting anything into his mouth, which he did NOT like! lol. so i switched him back to his old formula and wallah! no more hard poopies! but i will def. try the prune juice in the future if we run across the prob. again. thanx! your baby is soooo cute by the way!

Holy cow, I just read your post on the premature page, 9 lbs. 4 oz., and a month early!! WOW!! :) That's incredible. I'm trying to figure out what is a month early, would it be 34 weeks pregnant or 36 weeks pregnant? I ask because my OBGYN said that full term is 38 weeks although the due date is technically 40 weeks. Would love to hear back. - Thanks.

yeah the doc told me that too. she is pooping about every other day now. I am happy with that and she does not look uncomfy anymore.

bless your heart. i know what you are going through. i havea history of having kidney stones and they always have to go in and get them as i have a malformation of my rt ureter and they get hung up, lithotripsy hasnt ever even worked for me.

i am takeing darvocet for pain and when it becomes intolerable, mepergan fortis. i have been hospitalized every month since feb for IV pain meds.

my perinatologist talked me out of having an amnio. my ob was suggesting i have one at 36 wks to see if his lungs are mature.

but the perinatologist said lung function is all the amnio checks for. he said it doesnt check for sucking maturity, stomach and/or intestinal function or anything else. and he said at 36 wks 40% of baby boys lungs arent ready.
then i would have gone through the pain for nothing as i would still want to wait until his lungs were mature.

the baby is already bigger than average, he was 5 lbs 8 oz last week. but we dont know if his organs are ready...so i am kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.

so i just taking one day at a time, trying my best to deal with the pain of the stone and stent and kidney blockage and swollen kidney....

i go back to my reg OB thursday hopefully he will suggest inducing at 38 or 39 wks, but i dont really think he will. he has had not so good experience at inducing and delivering baby boys at 38 wks and their lungs werent ready.

So, i dont know what gonna happen. i am just ready for this pain to be over with, but more than that i want a healthy baby that gets to come home with me and not have to stay in the NICU.

i hope everything goes good with your delivery this week. when is it exactly?
keep me posted and take care

I just wanted to stop in and say hi....have not done so in about 15 weeks....oops! I saw that you were in the hospital on bed rest.....I understand. They just sent me home after 3 days and told me NOT TO GET UP! I am monitoring the sugars out the wazoo, eating right, and wearing my special panty hose to keep the edema down. My little guy is measuring 9 pounds right now and the dr still won't take him. However, we scheduled a c-section for the 12th. I really wanted to have a baby....not a sumo wrestler...but I am okay with it! I will be a mom, the day after mother's day! Hang in there and you will be a mom in no time!

i see you are in week 36, i am week 35. i too have kidney stones and have been sufffering with them since feb. had a stent placed in feb but still am not able to pass the stone. i am in bad pain everday due to the stone and stent and my rt kidney is also swollen. the baby also presses on my rt ureter and makes it painful and sometimes impossible to urinate.
i have been hospitialized in feb, march and april d/t the pain and this last time for pain and infection around the stent. my dr hasnt suggested inducing early. i am having a boy and i know their lung development is slower than girls. i am just at my wit's end. its basically like i am in labor everyday from this pain the stone/stent/ kidney blockage causes.
i take mild pain meds and that helps somewhat.
i was just wondering how you cope with the pain? and how long youve had the kidney stones? and if your symptoms sound like mine... at least yours is about to be over. my ob says after i deliver while the epidural is still in place, he will remove the stone and stent.
i wish you all the best.
keep me posted
(((hugs)))

Hello there.. I saw your post in 36 weeks (I'm not quite there.. two more days to go, but I read ahead sometimes). I live in Lexington, so I'm not too far from you. I wouldn't be too worried about your baby having a birthday around the Derby. If I would've grown up with a birthday having anything to do with horses, I'd love it, but that's me. My husband's birthday is on the 3rd and he doesn't worry with it. He would've never known when the Derby is if we hadn't have moved here. So maybe it won't be a big deal. Also, hubby's name is Jesse. Just thought I'd share because we have a couple things in common. Good luck though.. hope all goes well. Hang in there!
