Pregnant With a Boy, Due On My Birthday, March 19th, 2008!!
Hello, as you can see, I am 7 months preggo with number 3. We are extremely excited for March to get here. Pregnancy is going as well as can be expected so far. I have 2 children, ages 8 and 6 and a wonderful husband that has been in the United States Navy for 12 years. I just graduated last semester with my AA in Elementary Education. I was suppose to start on my bachelors in the spring but the baby takes presedence..lol. We found out we are having another son due on my birthday, March 19th, and we are going to name him Sebastian. Good luck to everyone else preggo!
January 9th, 2008
30 Weeks Pregnant!!!
Finally the 30th week is here! It sounds weird to say I am 30 weeks pregnant! My little man is kicking and moving around so much! I think he is getting really big because my Hydronephrosis is getting worse! Hydronephrosis is where the uretal tube is obstructed from the uterus pushing against it which causes urine to back up into the kidney. The kidney dilates causing flank and middle back pain. I was given the choice to take pain meds/muscle relaxers or get a tube put into my urethra to my kidney for the remainder of my pregnancy. So, needless to say, I chose the pain killers. Next week I have an appointment with ultrasound to make sure there is enough fluid around the baby. I am measuring small and I had low amniotic fluid with my other two children. So, other than this stuff, my pregnancy is going along well. I have gained 16 pounds so far and everywhere I go, everyone tells me how small I am. I know I should be thankful but it gets really annoying because I think something is wrong. I guess we aren't happy whether we are big and prego or petite and prego..lol. Well, until next week, I hope everyone is feeling good and this week goes by fast!
32 Weeks Pregnant!!!
What a difference from 30 weeks to 32 weeks! I have been making sure I take a good nap during the day and take it very easy when I am awake and I have never felt better! This is the most comfortable I have ever felt this pregnancy. Nothing hurts, my little man is moving around like crazy and it's getting closer and closer every day! It will be nice when I give birth and my hormones go back to normal. I have been very short tempered with my kids and my husband. I am contemplating getting induced or going into labor naturally. Getting induced is so much harder than going into labor naturally. I have had both and would choose not to be induced over anything! The problem is I have my father who wants to be here and lives in NC, babysitting arrangements, etc. It sounds sad that I might be choosing my baby's birthday just to accomodate others! I guess I should just wait and let nature take its course. Things seem to always fall into place anyways.
34 Weeks Pregnant!!!
Here I am 34 weeks pregnant and feeling wonderful! I think it is because the little guy is still in breech position but I really don't have any complaints! I am sleeping better than I was a few weeks ago (other than the occasional bathroom break) and getting around fine. Watch, now that I post this, something will change..lol. We just finished his and room and it is adorable! We have everything ready ago including a surplus of diapers! Now for the little guy to arrive and use all of this stuff we bought for him! Well, here's to another good couple of weeks!
36Weeks Pregnant!!!
36 weeks has finally arrived! I am so ready to meet my little BREECHED man. Yes, he is still breech. I am set up for an external version (where they manually turn the baby from the outside) on Thursday, the 21st. Nervous doesn't even explain how I feel. I guess seeing all of the negativity on television about it has got me a bit scared; not for me but for him. I want him to be as stress free as possible and this procedure is quite stressful on babies. I have gone to the chiropractor who has helped tremendously and it is also suppose to help with opening the baby's space. I have also taken pulsatilla, a homeopathic remedy for turning the baby, and have propped my whole body up on the couch with my head on the ground!!! Yes, I have tried everything! That is what I am dealing with at the moment. My little man moves all of the time and is so far very healthy. I had an ultrasound done a few days ago and he was in there, sunny side up sucking his thumb! It was so incredibly cute! I am ready for him to make his entrance into the world. I even have the changing table setup in my room with everything on it! The wipes are even sitting right next to the wipe warmer waiting to be put in it! Needless to say, I have done this before x's two :). Well, until week 38, hope everyone has an incredible last few weeks. Next thing you know, we'll be crying because there isn't anything inside our bellies anymore..lol. ~Love and Happiness to all
No Longer Breech!!!
We went to the doctor yesterday to see if the baby was still breech. We had an external version set up for 6am the following morning and I didn't want to make childcare arrangements and get up at 4am, just to get there and them tell us he turned. So they squeezed me in and he is officially head down. How exciting is that. I don't know if it was everything I tried or on his own but I am ecstatic!! Now lets hope he stays that way! Now the waiting really begins. Only a few more weeks~
38 Weeks Pregnant!
Only a couple of days away to being 38 weeks pregnant! I can't believe I have made it this far! It seemed so far away not too long ago and here I am! I LOST MY MUCUS PLUG TODAY! Which means labor is upon me any day now. I can feel the baby when I am in the shower and he feels a little higher than usual. I am getting BH a lot more today which are coming on by themselves (vs. the baby or me causing them). I wonder if I am going to make it to 40 weeks!!!
39 Weeks Pregnant!
I guess I am going to make it to my due date. Last Thursday I was cleaning and doing odds and ends around the house. Next thing I knew, went into labor. Contractions were 2 minutes apart and they weren't anything like BH! So I called my husband who was headed to a recitle with my son and told him he needed to come home. We were all running around like chickens with my our heads cut off, packing bags, finishing up the dishes and called my duaghters' Dad to come pick up the kids to watch them. Next thing we knew, we were headed to the hospital. We get there, get on the bed and all hooked up and wouldn't you know, they stopped being consistent and the intensity slowed way down. I was pissed to say the least. Here I was inconveniencing everyone for nothing! So, I unhooked myself and just left for home. Now I am one day away from week 39 (5 days after having false labor) and not feeling a thing. The baby is moving around like crazy which is wonderful but there aren't any signs of labor. My oldest son came the day he was due so I am expecting this to be the same. Which means I have 8 days to go. The kids are so excited and so is my husband. I have mixed emotions. Scared about labor, knowing I am not going to have him inside of my belly anymore and also worried about the baby blues that accompany post partum. All of the emotions have me spinning, so for right now, I am taking it one day at a time, enjoying my naps and enjoying feeling him inside of me. Maybe next week, I'll have a birth story to post :) Labor dust to us all~

Hey hun! How goes it? Can you believe how fast time is flying? Wow!
How are things for you? I went to the in-laws this weekend with Wyatt, and my MIL told me to sleep in the other room, and she would take all his night feedings... it was such a peaceful thought to think I was going to have a FULL night's sleep again.... WRONG! I cannot believe something so small can scream THAT loud. Dammit! She kept telling me to go back to sleep, but lying in my room, I could hear everything. I just lay there feeling guilty that she's dealing with his fussiness! Oh, well. Maybe a full night sleep isn't in our cards for another few decades! LOL
chefmcdonald - Monday, 21 April
well im glad ...good luck :)
Maddux - Monday, 21 April
Thanks for the encouragement. You mentioned making sure you are training the baby and not the other way around...could you share some information on that as this is my first child. How do you get them on a eating/sleeping schedule and encourage night-time sleep?
babyeddiesmom - Monday, 21 April
no problem!!! its hard to find someone wqith the same sick personality as me and my boyfriend!!!Sometimes things are just plain funny no matter how crude!!!! like how big your nipple gets after pumping off milk. It 100% makes it look like a cow utter!!!
Maddux - Monday, 21 April
Thanks for your post. I go for my 6 week checkup tomorrow and I guess I will mention it to the midwife. I am hoping maybe they can prescribe some medication for me rather than have me do therapy (which I have heard some moms discuss) because I really just want something to work quickly. I hate feeling this way. Thanks again for your post.
chefmcdonald - Monday, 21 April
hi.....do u still use the syringe? we did that in the hospital...and it was frustrating....the babies would just scream their heads off.....to me it sounds like u just need pump like mad...it's all about supply and demand....u 'call' for more and your body makes more......
chefmcdonald - Monday, 21 April
Hi Navymom....regarding your milk supply...u might try pumping in between feedings....feed...and pump an hr after....also if u feel like it......basically just pump when u aren't feeding and u have time....that will def. stimulate your milk supply some....also u can try a herb called fenugreek...it's totally natural....u can read about it online.......good luck to u :)
llivory79 - Sunday, 20 April
Hey....I was told to take Fenugreek Seed pills. I started taking them two days ago, 2 or 3 times a day and I feel like it has really helped me a lot! I was having the same problem but now when I pump I get at least 4 ozs at a time!!! Hope this helps!
babyeddiesmom - Sunday, 20 April
wow there is some real crude t-shirts BEWARE!!!!
babyeddiesmom - Sunday, 20 April
hahashaha my girl friend bought that shirt for him. (seems appropriate right? hahaha the tag says www.sikworld.com but i think she said she got it from the hustler store in miami beach where she lives. I am going to thast website after this mesg to check it out
babyeddiesmom - Sunday, 20 April
wow, do they all get sick this early? Baby eddie got this like cough and green snot that i suck out of his nose. He sounds like a little piggie at like 11pm and then 4am to 9 or 10 am. I think he got a cold from my nephew(who i watched and wasnt told he was sick) urgh!!!!! yeah I am breastfeeding which helps him alot with this cold.(thats what the dr said) It still kindof hurts sometimes but what choice do i have when hes looking up at me and smiling with my nipple in his mouth. lol he is just my world!!!! It is such a bonding expeirence! We lay in bed and just cuddle and watch tv. well not all the time but alot of the time i have to pull my self away and get some house work done. Its getting nice so we have been going for 15 min walk in my development too. Are you breastfeeding? hey if more kids arent in the cards for you two ill have them for ya!!! lol
darci - Sunday, 20 April
You may want to try pumping every morning at the same time to increase supply. I have had to do that a few times and within a few days it seems to build my supply back up...
babyeddiesmom - Saturday, 19 April
ha ha yeah we 100 % want to start soon for another baby but i am still waiting for the ok from the gyn. Also, we might wait til after the family trip to the jersey shore. My son is so spoiled already!!!! lol My fault because I never put him down and i stalk him like crazy. lol hes now 11lbs 6 oz and is great. Hope all is well at your house and yeah lets chat you know i might have 9,000 questions by the end of the week.lol hahaha

WOW DID SHE HACK LAST NIGHT! Talk about scary for a parent! Its terrible! I feel helpless! Wow I know I couldn't bear dropping Erin off to a sitter. I had a hard time letting my mom watch her last week. She was demanding that I take a break from Erin and I just felt so odd doing so.
Its funny he stayed in the swing for you last night. He usally doesn't want to be in it right?! Well I am glad you found a way to get sleep. I just stayed in bed until 11 and got my sleep.
I hope the parent support helps you. Talk soon...
babyeddiesmom - Friday, 18 April
woo hooo you had your baby!!! Ive been out of commision for a while and not using the computer. This 1st time mommy thing is awesome i want 50 more
startingoverat37 - Friday, 18 April
I love taking baths with Erin. A very special time. Have you taken Sebastian in the bath with you yet? Seems to calm Erin right down when shes been fussy. We'll be doing that in a while to calm down her sick soul.
Today I have had to just hold Erin to keep her sleeping. She has been crying because she feels bad...its a sad cry too. She wakes cries, wants to nurse then I get her to sleep again.
I hope you survived the award ceremony. You could find a teenager to help. Call the high school and ask if they know of someone you could trust. Maybe a couple girls that can rotate.
If he is happier with the formula then thats better than him screaming. PEACE OF MIND- YOUR SANITY! I am thrilled for you that John is back on the day shift. Thats going to be a big help. Maybe by the time he goes back to nights you will find someone to help or you will be in a better routine. Does your Dad live far away from you? I have a headache tonight from the stuffy nose..sinus...need some tylenol I guess. I have been laying on the couch for 2 1/2 hours letting her sleep on me. I felt stir crazy but she needed a good nap. I will talk a bit later or tomorrow.

Just got back from ped. Erin was coughing all night. The coughing would lead to throwing up. Basically theres nothing for a baby under 6 months when sick. Just have to let it pass. Unless theres a fever or they won't eat.
Sleep was real fun last night. She first off was so miserable I took a bath with her at 10:30 last niight. I nursed her in the bath then again when i got out. She fell asleep around 11:15. I woke her up at 12 to change her diaper and nursed for a couple minutes to get her back to sleep. Then she slept til 5am...Once I fed her she started hacking and I just held her in my arms until we woke up again to eat at 9am. I slept fine but I had to hold her up several times to get through the coughing fit so she wouldn';t keep choking. The doctor said squirt a drop of breat milk in each nostril and you the aspirator thing to squeeze her nose out. Also squirt a drop of milk in each eye for the gunk from the cold too.
I just nursed her and laid her down to sleep. So far shes napping without hacking...knock on wood!
I sure hope you are doing well this morning...oh I spoke to soon shes hacking again.
Its frustrating when they wake up right after you lay them down. I am sure your boobs are squishy because he empied them sucking on them all night long. I would try to reglan (u have some already) and see if the milk supply increases. Is he gaining weight like he should? Erin weighed in at 9lb 1/2 oz this morning. Doctor said that was good that she was right at the 25%. So thats good. I have been feeling the same way that she isn't getting enough milk because mine are getting so squishy too. I think she is emptying them then I don't have enough time to make more before she wants more. What are the 5 s's? I am glad you will start meds tonight. I take mine during the day, probally should make them last thing at night as well. I hope that you get some relief.
Well I should get something to eat while I have a chance.
I'll be around off and on today. Neals home and I am going to see if he wants to clean house with me...I am sure he will not want to spend his day off doing so.

I haven't even cooked yet. Hubby works til 10. My son is off in the neighborhood, 16 yr is off to youth group, and 12 year old is chatting with her best friend on yahoo. So I am just relaxing. Erin is swinging for the moment. I guess I should be taking advantage of the time and run through the house cleaning. I am in the exact same boat not getting anything done and feeling guilty about it. But I rarely can put her down. I try my best to not get to upset over the house messes but I do feel like I am lazy or something. Erin threw up on me today, and spit up all over me several times. I think she is not feeling well.
Last week she weighed 8lb 6oz. I have not been to the doctors for 2 weeks. The next time they want to see them is there 2 month shot day. BOO HOO! hate shots. The PKU test was just torture to watch. There was so much blood they squeezed out. Poor baby! The Autism scare tactics are just nonsense. But I do understand that it can set in the back of our minds as well what if they aren't nonsense. I remember when the crazy talk started back when we were pregnant I went off on that crazy lady. I don't like scare tactics.
How in the world did your son get student of the month with conduct issues at school?! How funny! Maybe it was not as bad at school as you thought.
Our booboos are growing up way to fast! I think Erin is trying to smile sometimes. What about Sebastian...do you see any changes in him?
The zoloft will take about a week to start working. Don't be surprised if you feel a headache the next couple days. I never have had that before but this time I did. You can take a 1/2 pill for a few days then go to the full 50. You will feel better soon. I think when John goes back to days you will feel much better too...
Do not feel bad for complaining. Please go right ahead. That is so normal to do when you are feeling so overloaded and have no one there to talk to. Its hard not to have anyone to bitch with. I miss friendships...but I feel grateful I have this site and great people like you that I can connect with everyday.
I hope your evening is going to be smoothier than last night!

Hiya! How's it going with your little boy? x
xiaodaph - Tuesday, 15 April
Oh.. I mean remove the wind in me.. Not the baby... Ginger contains something that can cause jaundice indirectly if we breast feed.. But anyway, i just finishes my baby's checkup, her jaundice level is going down and doc say i can breast feed in between formulas... Like lets say baby has 8 meals a day, i just need to breast feed for 2 to 3 meals, then the rest will be formula.. Yeah.. Me too.. My gal was up for about 3hrs yesterday night.. I cant sleep well.. So tiring!!!
startingoverat37 - Tuesday, 15 April
I am glad your hair worked out. I need to color mine as well. Its been a year.
I have Erin on a blanket on the floor. Shes complaining a little but shes not screaming. I know if I don't get her to take a nap I will be cooking with her on me in the carrier. Hubby went to work so early that he will want to nap a little until dinner.
Yeah I would talk to ped about his bowels. I am glad for you that he passed out for a bit.
As for your son I know what it feels like to be clueless to what else you could do to get his attention. Could he be ADD? You mentioned he is not controling his talking. Is that a new thing or always a issue??
I have my exam tomorrow. I am scared to go forward with the tubal...but just as scared to not go through with it. I will talk to doctor tomorrow about what I shall do. The nurse practitioner mentioned the miranda but I am not sure about that either.
I am gonna try to get Erin to go to sleep. She has this toy next to her that will play music when touched. It just played. I was surprised, I guess she reached for it and made it go off. Thats progress.
I hope your evening gets better.
