Hello!!

I am pregnant with my first baby. My hubby and I have been together 15 years. We started trying to coneive earlier this year...We thought it took forever, but I am now learning that 5 months is quick! I am currently 11 weeks pregnant. We have had several Ultrasounds...I am learning that my Doctor loves to give them. (AWESOME). We just had one yesterday and the baby was very active, my doctor said I should be able to feel him/her soon. She set up another ultrasound next week so we can hear the heartbeat...we can see it and it is fast and beautiful...Now we just want to hear it!!! It will be the best Birthday present ever...to hear my babys heartbeat!! I turn 30 next week!!! OMG!

I can not wait to meet this lil one; we have waited a long time for this!!!

Saturday, 10 Nov

Let's see... I am now 16 weeks preggo...And really starting to show. Actually I don't think I can hide it. It is very exciting and scary at the same time.
I was on bed rest for 2 weeks due to a low lying placenta. That has now fixed itself. This coming Monday I have my AFP test. I am bit nervous for that...and very anxious to get the test results back.
At my 15 week scan my Perinatal Specialist noted an Echongenic Bowel with the baby. This is most likely caused by my bleeding from the low-lying placenta. (The baby swallows the blood and it show brigt on the scan)...It is also a marker for Downs. So, my hubby and I are obviously nervous.
I am feeling very good. I get tired if I over do it, and I have terrible heartburn.
I will follow up back up soon!!

Friday, 16 Nov

*Sigh* I got the call from the Dr's office that I have been waiting for all week. My AFP test has come back NEGATIVE for Downs or Spinal Bifida. I cried as soon as I heard the goods news. The marker for the echogenic bowel really had me so scared...
I am 17 weeks today!!

Sunday, 25 Nov

Well today I am 18 weeks. I have felt a few flutters at night, and I thought I felt a thud the other night when I woke up to go potty----been doing that at least twice a night!
I have been feeling good...and of course still get tired pretty quickly. I a little nervous about weight gain, my Dr was not happy about me putting on 8lbs so far...ugh...but I am trying to be more active. I am sure being on bed rest for 2 weeks didnt help my metabloism.
We have another Dr appt on the 6th with the perinatal specialist and than an OBGYN appt on the 10th. Can't wait to see our little girl again!!!

Tuesday, Jan 29

Thursday, 13 Dec

Update time!! Last week I went to Perinatal Specialist and was told that my cervix was short and that I measured 3.1 (The norm is 3.5).

This Tuesday the 11th I went to see OBGYN and she said that as long as I was above 3.0 she was not concerned. However she wanted me to start moving around more and getting more excerise...I have gained abput 20 lbs. eeek

Today the 12th, I had a follow up with Perinatal specialist for my cervix. My measurements today came back at 2.8; which is well below the 'Norm'. I am not on bed rest until next Thursday the 20th. If my cervix gets longer at least above 3.0 i will still need to stay on bed rest but willmost likely not need surgury. Today they had me hooked up to test for contractions and I did not have any. So Dr was very happy!!

I brought my mom with me to see baby at Perintatal office, and I am so glad I did. She was great, and asked a lot of questions that I didn't even knwo to ask...that is what moms are for. (My mom had many pregnancy issues as well)

We got a sneak peak with a 3D U/S...Got to see my little ones face!! very cute!! She still had her little legs crossed at her ankles and kept putting her hand sin her face. I think my mom was in shock...as they didn't have these things when she was preggie with me!

I will follow up again soom!! Wish me luck my Cervix gets longer!! GO CERVIX!! (never thought I would say that LOL)

Monday, 24 Dec

Today is Christmas Eve...Still on bed rest due to my short cervix. It has gone from 2.7 to 3.4...Dr. is keeping me on house arrest until the 4th, than he will re-measure again. Hopefully my pesky cervix will lengthen permantaly. I really want to start getting up and around. I have put on about 22lbs...EEKK I am not as worried about the extra weight, more the fact that I have not been active for most of this pregnancy...I don `t want to be too winded during labor!! I have been feeling Sweet Pea a lot lately. I get nervous when I don `t feel her.Had a cold this past week...now the darn cold is in my chest...So, I ave a wicked cough and my throat is getting sore again!!Well, I have been laying low for awhile, now I am going to get up for about an hour and make more cookies!!MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Monday, 7 Jan

Today is my 24 Week Doctors apt (HAHA Not that I do not see another Dr allmost every week). But today is my OBGYN Appt...I am a little nervous as today I am suppposed to do my Glucose Tolerance Test...and of course get weighed!! Gettiing weighed actually freaks me out more, as being on bed rest for the last4 weeks...doesn `t make it easy to stay fit!! Wish me luck....

Friday, 11 Jan

25 Weeks TODAY!!I took my glucose test on Monday...and I passed with flying colors. I also got a negative for my pre-term test!! I spoke in length with my Dr about Strep B, and how I WANT and NEED antibiotics regardless of how I test at delivery...This is just a preccaustion!!!! I have a good friend of mine that her 7 week old daughter is in NICU with Menegitis due to strep B...and my friend tested negative a week before delivery!!My cervix is down to 2.48 the lowest it has been!! Dr has me on STRICT bed rest...I go bcak on the 17th for another follow up...Baby is doing great..and kicking and moving around like crazy!! She is going to be such a handful!! LOVE HER SO MUCH

Friday, 18 Jan

Okay well tomorrow I will be 26 weeks... Time flies when you are having fun!! Or lay around staring at your walls (Love bed rest...NOT) LOLOkay, so I went to Perinatal Dr today and cervix has lengthen to 2.6 from 2.4...So, not great but getting better!!Hubby went with me and got to see Sweet Pea...she was very active. The tech tried to see if she was `Practicing breathing ` but we didn `t catch her in the act if she did....I guess they start at this point. In a few weeks she should be doing it all the time.Dr still have me on bed rest. He wants me to hold off until 8 weeks...like I really have control LOL... He told me at least 8 more weeks on bed rest...I told him no problem...She is the boss...I already made it 6 weeks straight what is another 8 LOL!!!I go back next wednesday for a follow up and a fetal fibretin test!! JOY JOY

Thursday, 24 Jan

Well I went to Perinatal Dr again today. Had a Fetal Fibrecton test and checked my cervix again. I get the test results back tomorrow on the FFN test. My cervix is shorter!! I am now down to the lowest 1.9. The Dr has me on Terbutaline to slow/stop contractions that are thinning out my cervix. This medicine is makingme very jumpy and shaky. I have had such an issue with sleeping...I am afraid this will seriously hinder that more. I have to take one 2.5mg tablet every 8 hours!! Dr has assured me that baby will be fine! Poor little sweet pea. She is getting big. They didn `t tell me her weight today, but told me I should find out at next weeks scan (27 weeks). We did catch her `Practicing ` her breathing today. So cute! She was again going crazy on the monitor and does not care for being constricted by the bands!!My baby shower invitations went out today!! I am just hoping no labor before shower on 3/1/08. i can not wait to see what the girls have planned.I also recieved an email that my Changing table will be here Monday!! whoo hoo... Floors are going to be installed this Saturday...than we (Hubby) can start decorating!!!My friend had be baby on Sunday!! She just sent me pictures...so beautiful!!

Friday, 25 Jan

Got my test results back for the Fetal Fibrecton test... NEGATIVE!! WHOO HOOOGetting super excited about the nursery! The crib and changer should be here on Monday (If BRU didn `t screw it up) and the floors get put in on Saturday!! Okay...off I go back to bed to bake baby!!

Thursday, 31 Jan

I am really freaked out today. My mom had to re-take her mammogram scan today, and it came back that she does have a nodule. They are having her go in next Wednesday for a biopsy. i am just so scared for her.Please add her to your prayers!!

Daddy finsihed the Changing Table/Dresser today!! Check out the knobs...so much better than the wood knobs it came with...don't ya think!! Now it is onto decorating....hmmm on bed rest (no easy task I am sure)

Monday, 4 Feb

At my Doctors appt on the 28th my cervix was up to 2.2...so some improvement since I have been on the terbutaline. I am begining to get the worst case of heartburn. I am so miserable. I have tried....tums, aloe, baking soda and Zantac. I just can not get any relief...Actually the only thing that does help are milkshakes...but I seriously can not eat them everyday!!!Going to see OBGYN on MOnday for 28 week check up and to discuss Rh Shot...than going to Perintatal Dr on Tuesday to remeasure cervix!!!

Sweet Pea - 28 weeks!! Love my little girl so much!!!!!!

Tuesday, 5 Feb

Well, went to OBGYN on Monday and all is good. She is having me take another Glucose test on the 19th...I guess this is due to my weight gain... 9lbs this month!! OMG!! I passed the other one...so I hope all goes will with this one.I went to Perinatal Dr today to have my crvix re-measured. Still 2.2, but as long as it doesn `t get any shorter...I am a happy girl! I am still on bed rest... 6 more weeks until Dr re-evaluates my bed rest status. I hope to be able to be more active...I am so weak!!My heartburn has been out of control, but since I upped my dose of Xantac yesterday i am feeling so much better!!!Baby Shower is 3 more weeks away!! Oh and we haave scheduled a 3D/4D ultrasound this coming Saturday!! Can `t wait...bring the whole family!!!!!!!!

LOOK WHO'S KICKING SCANS!!!

Wednesday, 13 Feb

I am 29 Weeks today (2days before 30)Went this past weekend for a 3D/4D ultrasound. So awesome. Too bad sweet pea was putting her hands and feet in her face...this was distorting the picture. It was justreally awesome letting my parents and hubby `s parents...and my sis(that drove all the way down 3 hours) to see it!!I went to my Perinatal Dr today. He did another Fetal Fibrectin Test...NEGATIVE!! So, I will be labor free for at least another 2 weeks.As for cervox...down to 1.5!! So, he is keeping me on my Terbutaline and extending my bed rest to 37 weeks. So, 8 more weeks of BED REST!!I can `t complain...she is healthy and doing great. So, I am all about keeping her that way!!!

Sweet Pea - 30 Weeks!!

Thursday, 21 Feb

Well, I am 30 weeks! Went to OBGYN yesterday and took my 2nd glucose test...still waiting to hear test results. I did however learn that my ketones were high and that I need to eat more (I can `t win) I only gained 1 pound so Dr was happy about that...(Again...can `t win)I went to Perintatl Dr today and my cervix has measured 1.7; a little better than last week. They also did the baby measurements and she is 3.6 pounds!! Getting so big! I was told that after 34 weeks I can attend birthing classes!! Whooo hooo

Saturday, 8 Mar

Well I am 33 Weeks!! whoo hoo...It has been a very long road thus far.I went to OB and PN this week, took a few tests. I had to have a liver enzyme/liver function test due to a rash that decided to overcome my body (Itchy and insane, I am thinking it is PUPP....which is hormone induced and no cure!! Nothing like bed rest and itching LOL) I also had another FFN test that came back negative...so that gives me a nice 2 week window for no labor...I think that is the last FFN test I will get, as I read no more after 34 weeks.I am still going to be on bed rest until week 37 APRIL 4!!!!!!! Hmmm...that sounds like a nice birthday 4-4-08!!, maybe she will come than? plus my sis will be in town!!I had my baby shower this past Saturday. Our family abnd friends out did themselves. We seriously have nothing to buy, and if we do I think all the Gift certificates will cover it!!I hope to go shopping after my bed rest, hopefully she will stay put so that I can get the final touches together.I am going to start washing all of her new clothes this week...and pack the hospital bag!! I can `t believe the time is getting near!! WHOO HOOOO

Wednesday, 12 Mar

Okay, so cervix is down to 0.7!!!!! Dr is not freaking out, but says stay lay down and no activity!The bigger the baby gets the shorter the cervix....So, I am just going to roll with the punches....Dr said my cervix could hold me till 39 weeks, but most likely at 37 weeks when he takes me off Terbutaline, it will only be a short matter of time before she is here!!! I am super excited about that!! But not excited about LESS activity...Oh well really only 3 more weeks.

Monday, 24 Mar

Holy Heartburn!!I am having a very hard time sleeping due to this heartburn issue. I learned quickly that Chocolate is a big no no...but I am still weeding through the rest of the food groups...Even water is a nightmare, and if I don `t drink enough...than on come the contractions!!Complaints - LOL: Heartburn, Numb and tingly arms, hands and fingers, trigger finger, back pain and exhaustion, baby getting stuck under my ribs, peeing constantly, constipation!! and...BED REST!!On to the wonderful things: Little Sweet Pea is so active and such a character...I can just tell. I can `t wait to meet her. She is growing perfectly and I couldn `t ask for anything more. I love feeling her swish and move around...I love laying with my hubby chatting about what we thing she will look like and who `s traits she will take...and just the excietment of having her and all the new experiences we will get to have because of her!Hubby for the past few weeks has been stressed about baby...now he is begging me to get off bed rest and have her already...First I though that it might be becsue he is over handling all the house hold duties, but now I I realize that he truely just wants to meet his little girl!! I see him in the nursery all the time re-folding things, wiping down furniture and admiring his little girls room.Can `t wait to meet you Emma!!We are going to the Drs this coming Wednesday for cervix check...But on April 1st we go to both OB and Perinatal Dr. At Perinatal Dr the baby wil be measured and we will learn her weight and hopefully pardon me from bed rest...and at OB I am hoping to discuss birthing options and perhaps...shall I say it INDUCTION? LOL

I AM 6 MONTHS!!!

Feel better soon, being pregnant is hard enough on the body without sickness on top of it. I hope hubby is feeling better too.

mitzumama - Sunday, 30 Mar
I just know too well from experience that being rested, well, nourished and positive is best when labor begins. I was so afraid I'd go into labor totally unprepared and ill. I am relieved to feel better now. I just have to remember that no matter what the circumstances... every thing is going to work out just fine in the end. I think it was a good reminder though, that I should rest better and eat better. How is your husband now?

miracle-baby - Sunday, 30 Mar
I hope you are feeling better. Being sick sucks!!

tannersmommy - Sunday, 30 Mar
Alright how are you doing? Any cervix left? I went to my doc appt on Fri and I am dialated to a 'roomy one cm'. Kind of freaks me out because I didn't dialate with Tanner until they induced me. I still haven't gotten the baby's dresser and chest yet. Which means I haven't gotten things put away and its all just stacked and in totes in the nursery. The delivery date was supposed to be last week but it keeps getting pushed back. Now its at Wed.

Oh I have also been loosing little pieces of mucus plug ever since I had my interal on Fri. I'm thinking maybe doc knocked some loose or something. I also have been so, so tired lately and have actually been falling asleep on the couch sitting up. I feel like an old man!

And poor Tanner has an upper resp infection. This is the third antiboitic he has been on in the past two months. I got his ped to give us a new allergy med to try so I'm hopeful it will do something. We live in the Ohio Valley & everyone here has terrible allergies. Mine and Maurice's have kicked in the past couple of weeks. Ahh gotta love spring! Anyway hope your cervix is still there and congrats on your bed rest being over. Any big plans? Just don't over do it. I tried to go to Wal-mart today and almost killed my self just walking around the store.

sarahnicely - Sunday, 30 Mar
FEELING BETTER????? I feel for you.

usagi - Saturday, 29 Mar
Paige is home! The first night was exciting, long and tiring! My husband couldn't get off work and so I was 'home alonne' with Paige and our 4 doggies from 5:30pm until 3:00am. Trial by fire! The good news is that the doggies got used to her pretty quick (except that our eldest doggie is afraid of her, too funny). One of our doggies even appointed himself 'Nana' and has been watching over her all night and day. I'll post photos later today. BTW Paige's nursery is only half-done but at least it's functional (she took a nap in her crib last night).

How has the week been for you? Just think that next week you'll be considered full term at 37 weeks. Great work!!!

sarahnicely - Thursday, 27 Mar
i'm an addict to, I'm on here and myspace at least 30 times a day
then I wonder why I get so far behind at work :(

first-time-mommy-to-b - Thursday, 27 Mar
Awww...Don't worry too much, try to enjoy your time and get as much done as you can in the little time you will have after you are off bed rest! It will be great!! I know, originally we were telling people 'Well, if we have a boy we want to name him this and if its a girl we want to name her that' but no one had anything but negative stuff to say about the names we had chosen. So finally once we settled on Hunter Margaret we told everyone that we were not announcing her name until she was born because we didn't like everyones negative input. Everyone (family) promised to not say a word so we ended up spilling the beans and the only reactions we recieved were 'OMG I love it, thats such a great name...etc' hehe So needless to say they wanted to know more than they were worried about telling us what they thought of our name. :) I understand where you are coming from though...its super frustrating when no one likes your name...or would rather something else.

Anyway, yes we have furniture...its at my parents house right now. The only things we really don't have are a mattress, her bedding (go figure...I guess we'll need that) and her travel system. But I put alot of that on my registery in hopes to recieve some gift cards...so I am trying to wait. How about you? Do you have everything you need? Travel system, clothes, bottles etc? Anyway, sorry to talk your head off! hehe Keep me posted!

mitzumama - Thursday, 27 Mar
Yes. Gus is moving around like crazy. He even keeps me up at night. Every time he moves it's like I am being beaten from the inside out. I can't believe how strong he is. I was up all night with cramping and his tossing and turning made it all the more difficult. I can't wait to meet this little acrobat. I bet he wants out so he can stretch. How about you?

sarahnicely - Thursday, 27 Mar
i have the weirdest pain by my who who...it feels like I've run into something and bruised the the skin on my pubic bone. Odd!

I'm fortunate to work in an area where it is extremely hard to find good help. My boss hasn't told me for how long he will let me take her with, but when he says its time for her to go to daycare I will probably quit. :( I like this job, but I've got a more important place to be.

My hubby makes good money, but we just have to pay off some stupidity before I don't make any money anymore. So I'm hoping for a really good baby! I'm going to try hard to squeeze a year out of it, but I'm not holding my breath.

sarahnicely - Thursday, 27 Mar
one more day down! :)

feeling good?

This week is flying by for me, I have no idea why.

mybundleofjoy - Thursday, 27 Mar
I'm glad to hear your appt went well. It seems like the closer we get to our due dates approaching the longer it is really taking. I am so ready to have London in my arms! My mom and I were talking this morning and she was saying, I wonder if he is going to come early, on time, or late...I sure hope he doesn't come late. Is it just me or do you sometime think about how its going to feel not having your baby moving around inside of you once you have her? I often feel like I am going to miss the feeling of him growing/moving around inside of me. I know this sounds crazy, lol.

usagi - Thursday, 27 Mar
We found out today that the bassinet I got from my cousin doesn't work... she had two bassinets (from having twins) and she gave us mix-matched parts that don't fit together! Poor Paige might be sleeping in her crib in the nursery her first night, with nervous mom and dad on the floor next to her. LOL We aren't getting any physical help from the relatives after we bring Paige home, although we'll probably be making a lot of phone calls for advice since we have no idea what we are doing!

miracle-baby - Wednesday, 26 Mar
I am very cranky today. I am not sure why. Probably lack of sleep. LOL

My boobs haven't leaked yet. I don't think they did with my last pregnancy but I can't remember which has me worried. LOL I was able to breastfeed without any problems last time so hopefully, I can again.

I know what you mean about autopilot. Somedays I feel like my body has been taken over. I guess I just want to be done. Especially today when I am not feeling my best.

My nursery is no where near being done. My husband is working late and we have the walls painted and the crib up and no mattress. That is it. I can't put anything away or decorate or anything. It is so frustrating and I can't really say anything because he is doing twice the work. I just wish I could do it myself. I would if I could put the bookshelf together. LOL

My cervix has stabilized at 3cm for three weeks now and has not done anything. Isn't that a kick in the bum? Just when we want our cervix's to be doing something they totally betray us. Ha ha

tannersmommy - Wednesday, 26 Mar
Okay hormones are in check so far today. Sorry I was all crazy last night. Yeah so hubby got home at about 12:15 last night and had only had like two beers. SOOO much better than I had expected. I was actually kind of proud of him, but of course didn't let him know. One of his friends got locked up for DUI however.

I'm hoping to make it past April 15th since I work for my dad and he's a CPA. I think he's kind of freaked out that I will go early. When I get back from the doc's he'll ask so they didn't give you an earlier due date of anything did they? Poor guy! The doc did say she was going to induce me the 22nd and I'll probably make it till then since I went over with Tanner. Oh well I'm still waiting on the babies furniture to come in. They keep pushing back the arrival date. Geez we got it from Ashley's but there isn't anything hubby can do.

sarahnicely - Wednesday, 26 Mar
wait a minute....your cervix is lengthing???? Ummmm backwards thing!!!!

My dr appointment was very uneventful...he didn't do an internal, measured, felt her head 'well baby is definetly head down' (no duh) did the swab and says...ok see you back next week.

AND I'M PAYING FOR THIS?????????? grrrrr

So I guess I'll be heading back weekly now, although I'm not sure how long that'll last...time clock just ticking away. :)

So bedrest countdown...YEA!!!!

I'm really hoping you stay in touch with me after your little 'sweet pea' comes. I've enjoyed talking with you though out this pregnancy. And I'd like to hear all your great first time momma stories.

:)

mitzumama - Wednesday, 26 Mar
I am not laying low one bit! Yesterday my husband and I went on a 3.5 mile walk up and down a huge hill in our neighborhood. I also walked up and down my stairs ten times for exercise and at least five more times out of necessity. Regardless, no sign of baby making an early arrival. My intuition tells me I shouldn't worry. He will come when he comes. I don't want to push him or stop him anymore. We will just see what happens from here on out, but I have a feeling I will be one of those ladies longing for their baby week 40. LOL. Actually I keep thinking week 38. For you I keep thinking week 36. Isn't that later this week?

sarahnicely - Wednesday, 26 Mar
i totally forgot the boobs comment. (prego brain) after you get off you bed rest and 'speed' tributaline. I strongly suggest 'prepping' your nipples. Sounds funny, but those babies are beyond sensitive and if you get them ready to be functional, you won't end up with the soreness you've heard some talk about.

(I say after becuase nipple stimulation can lead to contractions)

There are a few ways, my mom suggested a wash rag and a twisting motion in the shower. My hubby suggested I let him practice (MEN!) But what I've done and am doing this time is just a small tug type pulling and twisting before bed, sometimes in the shower. And when your doing this plan on colostrum coming out.

I've had a friend go as far as actually mimicing the action of a nursing baby with her hand. I don't know what works better. But I know from experiance it helps.

As for leaking at night...you could be 'squishing' the girls and you just don't know it. If you push or squeeze your boobs at this point it will express those milk glands. But I wouldn't be surprised if you leak during the day too. Nature has a way of taking its course. :)

I'm headed to the dr soon...I'm hoping he'll say something along the lines of 'oh, well....we've come to a new way of thinking. You get the last month of pregnancy off, and your body bounces right back AND child birth is now painless'. :)

mybundleofjoy - Wednesday, 26 Mar
Hey! All is well with me and baby boy London...I can not wait to meet him also. WE are really anxious to have him in our arms. My husband and I setup his bassinet and car seat/stroller this past weekend, its so nice. I can't wait to see him in it. Wow, 16 weeks of bedrest seems like quite a while but I know it was all worth it. I go back to the Dr next Thursday at 36 weeks and then I will start going back every week at that point. I'm glad to hear all is well with you and your baby girl...hope all goes well with your Dr appt...keep me posted and I'll talk to you soon.

SchoppeSweetheart - Wednesday, 26 Mar
Sounds like you are still doing well... that is awesome!!! My dr. says that after this weekend I can do whatever the heck I want to, but I still have to take the meds is something should start happening for another 2 weeks...after that, he'll let me free on everything, and then perhaps I might go into labor for real!!!! I am getting a bit anxious at how close all of this really is.... there is definitely no turning back now :)

miracle-baby - Wednesday, 26 Mar
I got a lot of essentials which I didn't have so that was good.

I, too, am tired of being big and pregnant. My hips are sore, I can't walk without having pain shoot up my woohoo and my back is killing me. I am so helpless around the house. I can no longer pick up my son and he really feels neglected by it. At least I am starting to dilate but I can be at 1cm for weeks. But if I hit 39 weeks and I am still pregnant then I can schedule another section if I want it. At least he won't let me go to 42 weeks. LOL That is a relief.

We are almost there. I am hoping these last few weeks will fly by. I still don't have her room done. My husband is so busy with work and renovations that the small things get left behind, like setting up her bookshelf or bringing in her dresser. Oh well, it will get done I know it.

Any new news from you?

usagi - Wednesday, 26 Mar
I am feeling nervous and EXCITED... Paige got her feeding tube out this morning! Someone might be home by the weekend! Still so much to do around here I have to stop visiting Paige and start getting the house ready LOL.

P.S. I had heartburn & indegestion real bad with Tanner but have escaped it so far with this preg. I have indigestion every once in a while but it seems to not be so bad after I went to the store and bought Tums. Go figure but hey if thats what it takes!
