my-lil-miracle - Saturday, 12 April go get a slurpee at 7 11... mmmmmmmmm it's so damn hot i've eaten 3 sugar free pop sicles today already... take lots of pics at ur shower... Haha, try for the pedicure rather then ur man... also I heard that if you get a foot rub at the pedicure place it can induce labor naturally!! I'm getting a pedicure hopefully next weekend... with a ankle/foot rub!! I know what u meant about wanting a massage table with whole in it for the belly.. I actually thought they did make those??? who knows... man it's hot!
Princesslocke - Saturday, 12 April OMG...she is that big already! Woah! I had a sono ablmost 3 weeks ago and he was 5 pounds 2 ounces..I figure he is probably over 6 pounds now! I dont know about you , but I am getting really frustrated and have been trying everything to get him to come out...but it isnt working!!! I am just sick of being so big..blah! I hate to be so impatient..but it is hard not to!
my-lil-miracle - Saturday, 12 April Hey girl... haha... that phase huh?? I used to babysit and they were all bros/sisters... a 5 year old, a 3 year old and a 1 year old, so I got to see their many phases.. haha, I babysat them for over a year 2 to 3 times a week.... they were mostly in the "tantrum" phase... really dramatic actually haha.... I went to my NST yesterday and it showed the baby's heartbeat is perfect for conditions... and my contractions are off the wall.... I have so many but they don't last too long and are not yet regular, so it's looking like BH, but some were for sure contractions... just good to know somethings going on even if I don't notice it allt he time.... also I feel bad telling u this, because I know u are tired, but I passed out last night at about 7 or 8pm and just woke up this morning at 11am... ohhhhh.... sorry!!
kelsul - Saturday, 12 April yes, i had another ultrasound yesterday before my weekly checkup.
Princesslocke - Friday, 11 April Hey there..how are ya? Well, I got the babys room done!! Check out the slideshow on my page!!!
dt425 - Friday, 11 April Hey about the sweeping thing.. I had it done yesterday with out even knowing it..but I'm not going to lie... it killed.. i think i jumped about 3 feet.....not very much fun
kate3boysandagirl - Friday, 11 April They are pretty excited. My first was 7 lbs 8 oz, the second was 8 lbs 9 oz, and the third was 9 lbs 7.5 oz. They say girls tend to be smaller but she's already measuring 8 lbs at 37 weeks, so I am nervous because they won't stop talking c/s. Isn't it exciting to shop for little girl things? Although it's what we were hoping for, now that she's almost here I'm a little afraid I won't know what to do with a girl!LOL
my-lil-miracle - Friday, 11 April Holy Lord, u sound just like me... I'm like "Damn it Sam, I want a backrub... I don't care if ur tired and hungry and just stepped back on Land from being at the sea for the last two weeks... that's 2 weeks I haven't had a massage..."... man, when He came back last time I layed my chest on a big pillow so was on elbows and knees with my belly hanging and he gave me a freaking back massage that was AMAZING>.... It pretty much put me to sleep.. that's funny though 'cause I'm one of those people that hate back rubs and hates giving them and hates all that "back touching"... but lord, I wish I had one now... Does this happen to you???: I lay down on my left side and within minutes my Right hip is Killing me so badly.. I don't know why this is because there's no pressure on the right hip??? then I turn over to the right side and sometimes that helps, sometimes it hurts worse, but I feel so old and artheritic in my hips... man... and my hands and feet are FOREVER COLD>...
my-lil-miracle - Friday, 11 April I wonder how I will be when I am having painful contractions.. I doubt I'll be a screamer... probably more of an "eye closer/ teeth clencher/ whispering curse words".. haha.. I really think that' is what I will be like.. That's funny to me because I hadn't even thought of how I'll respond to the pain.. when I have painful contractions now I just kind of brace myself (like hold onto something and hunch over)... so we'll see... Yeah, these last few weeks are really the "home stretch..".. I just want to have him already, but it's weird because every time I am having regular contractions/pain in my stomach I DON"T get excited.. I just get really SCARED... it's like a realization that "damn, I'm having a baby soon".... I'm not sure if it's scared about the pain and stretching/ripping/possible c'section of labor or the fact that I'll have another person to care for... I think I"m more scared of the pain of labor though, and just a little scared about being more responsible.. it's not even the emotional thing that I worry, more financial, but when I look at it in perspective I know that even though I'm on a peice-of-shit welfare that my baby will have everything he needs and if I can't provide it alone then Sam can, and if not both of us then my parents are willing to help, then the rest of my family and finally there are a lot of places here in San Diego Downtown that give out diapers and baby products for free... it's a bitch waiting in the lines there though.. but hey... I've been having really bad dreams worrying about not having any diapers for my baby... Well... about the "back labor".. I was thinking the same thing, I get like "contraction" or dull constant pain in my low back... It doesn't hurt that bad, but it's really annoying and doesn't go away easily... So.... that would be cool if ur little lady was born tomorrow... or... if she were born on ur Bday!! lol...haha..,. I know u don't think that's too funny to be overdue... :)
my-lil-miracle - Friday, 11 April awww... u sound just like me!! I have a long ass day tomorrow with like 4 appointments, a few in downtown, one in inner city and the other at the hospital.. so I have to take the busy ass bus/trolley so much tomorrow!! Not looking forward to that... maybe walking will stimulate something... haha.... anyways ur baby shower is coming up really soon huh??? try to fake a smile if u have to.. I wasn't in the best mood at my BS either, but just seeing all the presents for the baby made me in a better mood... So.... about the rubbing ur belly, I get a lot of people (whenever I go out at least 2 or 3 people) ask me about him... boy/girl? due date? will he be a JR?... a lot of questions and even more stares... so sometimes I get all cranky and am like "damn, can I just put my groceries in the damn cart??? can I just stand inline at Subway? can I just walk??? "... well.... I think that's the preggo hormones speaking there, because I like the fact everyone tells me I've dropped (even though the doc says no).. it makes me feel like I could go into labor soon.... haha....
boysmom07 - Thursday, 10 April Hey you your almost there...how are you feeling?!!!
my-lil-miracle - Thursday, 10 April I wish I'll have him 2 weeks early naturally!!! that would be freaking perfect... Damn, I just want to get some good sleep, bt instead everybody wants to wake me the F up!!, and they wonder why I'm cranky every freaking day...
kvandyck0627 - Thursday, 10 April Congratulations on your little girl! Don't be discouraged by your baby shower. It sounds like your MIL is trying to do what she thinks is best even if she is terribly mislead. Maybe she thinks you will be happy that she thought you were special enough to go overboard. My inlaws helped with my wedding and I have that same attitude- Less is more-but they wanted to get everything over the top. To them, they were blessing me. I guess what I am saying is that if her heart is in the right place, just laugh about the silly details. You will forget about those candy filled bottles anyway...also, you get to get lots of new fun stuff while you are your biggest and most uncomfortable! Sure you would have liked it sooner but at least you will have something to get your mind off of how fat and hot you feel! I hope this is encouraging...I have definitely dealt with difficult inlaws before! Good luck!
Nickys2 - Thursday, 10 April It would seem the baby is already nore than 7 lbs. I am worried about this induction business - wish I knew what to do. Had a u/s three weeks ago and since then I have been averaging 5 pounds a week (and I don't pig out/it's likely more water retention, been having this since month 5)I get the feeling it's my swelling and BP that worry him more than the baby's size and he may not want to worry me until next week. He will not induce before week 38. You've had 3 - how was it for you? It's been 12 yrs since my last birth!
my-lil-miracle - Thursday, 10 April I have LITERALLY no food in my house again!! this sucks... I have the money for it, but no ride, so I ate a can of tuna and applesauce... I also made rice, but I suck at making rice it ALWAYS COMES OUT SOGGY!!!... I have learned NOT to go grocery shopping on an empty stomach because I buy the fattiest things and bready things... also I love to make lists for everything so I make one for groceries! Do u have ur bags packed yet for the hospital? I packed me and Michael's last night, so I'm just wanting him already, but then everytime I have contractions for a while I get scared I'm going to go into labor, not really excited... I want him here and everything, but I just get scared about a c'section... as for feeling him on my hip bones... no... I feel like my hips are being stretched and pushed forcefully apart.. not fun really, but my Midwife told me today that i haven't even dropped yet.... I think that's funny because everytime I go out of the house now so many people ask me "girl or boy"... "how much longer"... and "wow girl, ur gonna' give birth any minute, he's so low!!"... I'm thinking gravity has just pulled my once high up baby down... lol...
my-lil-miracle - Thursday, 10 April I'm watching Dawn of the Dead... damn, I hope my baby doesn't gain 1/2 lb. per week. their saying if they think he's going to be over a 9 pounds then they'll just schedule a c'section... I think I have HUGE hips, so I don't know why...... pooooo.... please stay little baby???? My back doesn't hurt that bad anymore, just my hips mosly now and inner thighs... I am so damn hungry!!!!
my-lil-miracle - Wednesday, 9 April Hey, just got back from the dr.'s and things are going pretty good... I lost 2 pounds since last week!, I have really good blood pressure, negative for strep B, no sugar or protein in urine but my Iron levels are lower then ever so now I have to take 2 iron pills a day and my prenatal vitamin... man my stomach is gonna' be so messed up... the babyboy is doing well (rememebr last week he measured at 41) this week he measured at about 38 1/2, so only 2 weeks ahead, so that is helping me feel better... also no internal.... THe midwife said she thinks he's probably 7 pounds as of right now and that I can be induced at 39 weeks, so hopefully I he will only gain 1/4 pound a week from now on and only be 8 pounds at the biggest in a little over 2 weeks... This appointment put me at ease... So I have my u/s on Monday the 14th... hopefully I'll get good news about his size and chest size as well ( GD babies sometimes their chest are bigger then their heads at birth, it eventually evens out, but it makes it harder to deliver vaginally).... so for ur last u/s how long was it??? 20 mins or less??? Write back Lady
