Hey, My name is Rikki, This is going to be my first baby...I am due on May 26, 2008. I love being pregnant but can't wait to meet our Baby.
May 13, 2008
Well was in labour and delivery last night.. still only dialted 1 cm and 85% effaced...had a doc appointment today and now I am 2 cm and almost completely effaced..making progress just very slowly...having contractions all day today.. the doc said she thought I would either deliver today or tomorrow.. it's so not looking like that is happening though..ahhhh we will have to see....
May 3, 2008
Well my baby shower is tomorrow.. I am finally off bed rest and able to do what I want...had to go to the hospital yesterday cause I pulled the ligaments around my uterus.. ahh it hurt so bad..I am 75% effaced and 1 cm Dialated..also lost my plug yesterday...YUK.. so it could be a few days or a few weeks I guess we will have to wait and see... Baby Jaiden is doing great though.. strong heart beat and wiggling around still... can't wait to meet him.
April 24,2008
Got back from my doc appointment/ Ultrasound...Baby Jaiden is weighing in at 6 pounds 7 ounces.. my goodness he is a big boy.. I posted a new ultrasound pic.. I am so in love with my little man....I cannot wait to meet him..he is my world! I am moving in two days.. yay I can finally get some stuff done for my little miracle boy...
April 10,2008
I had to redo the glucose test today! They lost my results from the first time I did it...ahh I was not impressed.. thats my vent....on a good note baby Jaiden is weighing in at 5 pounds 1 ounce and doc says he is perfect for his dates and that 5 pounds is perfect for 33 weeks just incase anyone is wondering......I love my little man.. he is so worth every minute of everything i am going through right now
March 18,2008
Well I just got home from the hospital...i was in there for five days..i wemt into labour on thursday night... they stopped the labour and now i am home on in home care...a nurse comes to my place to check on me and the baby... Jaiden is doing great though..3 pounds 6 ounces...my cervix is funneling and i am 75% effaced but not dialating.. so i think he will hold on a little while longer....
March 2, 2008
Well I am back from my trip to Florida! Baby enjoyed the trip lots.. he was kicking and bouncing around the whole time...he kept me up all night!! LOL I am getting very big.. people were asking me if I was ready to deliver!!! Ahhh and i still have almost three months to go! LOL oh well...I am just very glad the baby was good and stayed put (I really didn't want to deliver in a far away place.. and pay..seeing as how I live in Canada and don't have to pay anything!!)
February 17, 2008
Well 26 weeks tomorrow...I had my ultrsasound on friday and I am very happy to say my amniotic fluid is just perfect and my cervix is still long and closed!! I think he gonna hold on for me in there...Yay...My little man is actually measuring a week and a half ahead of his dates but they don't want to change my due date cause at this point I guess babies grow at different rates..I am so glad my little man is doing great...His heart rate was 141 BPM at the ultrasound as well...And yay I actually get to go on my trip to florida in 5 days.. my doc says it's ok!!! I am very excited... New ultrasound pics in my photobook as well!!
February 14, 2008
Yay..it's Valentines Day..we found out our our appointment yesterday that everything is looking ok... I am going to be having an ultrasound every two week to make sure baby is growing ok and to make sure my amniotic fluid level stays up...cervix is still closed and long but they will be monitoring that closely too...Oh well that means I get to see my baby boy every two weeks...I'm just so relieved I am finally getting the medical attention I need!!
February 3,2008
Yay February...24 weeks soon....We are thinking our Baby Boys name will be Jaiden James.....but not completely sure...I bought a summer infant Heartrate monitor and i love it.. i hear him kick with it all the time but if i catch him napping i can hear his heartbeat..so cool.. can't wait till May!!!!
January 30,2008
Had my doctors appointment today.. baby's heart rate was about 140 BPM... he is happy and healthy.. i got my ultrasound results back from my 20 week scan and everything is perfect....I love my baby boy so much...my uterus is measuring at 26 weeks though so i dont know what that means.. i might be having a huge baby..lol My contractions have slowed down a lot and my cervix is still completely closed...Yay!!!
January 27, 2008
Well i was in the hospital till 12 am last night..having regular contractions...they cannot figure out why i am getting them. They send a sample to find out if maybe it is caused by a UTI.. so we will see...the contractions are not dialating my cervix at all so that is a very good thing!!!I need my little boy to hold on in there and at least try and make it to 30 weeks.. im really nervous but trying to relax as best i can!! I have another appointment next week so we will see how it goes.. please keep my little boy in your prayers!!! Thanks. hope everyone is doing well..
January 16, 2008
Please help me pick a name for my baby boy!! 
January 11, 2008
It's a BOY!!! yay... my boyfriend and I are so excited. I can't believe how much I love my little boy already...He is very active and the ultrasound showed that he is doing very well and i guess he is a cubby baby! LOL His belly is very round!! All i know is he is so cute!! I can't wait till I get to meet him.
January 2,2008
Baby is kicking now (kinda hard sometimes!!!) I definately know that the baby likes going to the movie theatre!! LOL I am so excited for May!!!!!
December 20, 2007
Yay, I get to have my ultrasound on January 11th..I am so excited. We hope everything is moving along just as it should and hope the baby is doing great. I just really want a healthy baby! Getting bigger by the day now...or so it seems. My baby flutters are becoming closer and closer to kicks.. I can't wait till my baby hauls off and gives me a good boot to the belly!

It's just so frustrating. I can never ever remember a time in my life where I was counting down the days constantly. I have never wanted something so much. It's kind of like being a 5 year old at Christmas. Without having a concept as to when Christmas really is. For so long we were teased and know it's like waking up every morning being told it's Christmas but that we can't open our gifts. I know it will all be worth it...but it feels like it's taking forever. It's totally an obbession and this site just fuels the addiction. AUGHGHGHGHGHGHG. I guess we can only try to be as patient as we can and know that it will happen for us soon!
MommyJewels - 47 hours ago
I will be praying for us to have lots of labor dust::):):):)
MommyJewels - 47.3 hours ago
Oh honey! I just don't get it! We spent so much time keeping them in and now we are having the slowest labors ever. That is what happened to me not this past weekend, but the one before. They were "sure" I was going to have the baby because the contractions were so strong on the machine and consistent...but it didn't create anymore dilation. I am not having them as consistently now..they come and go. But, it is exhausting! Will they help you out once you are 3cms? Are you able to sleep at all?
I am going to the doctor in a couple hours. I PRAY that they have some news for me. I might go postal otherwise.
MommyJewels - Monday, 12 May
Hey-
I am really frustrated as well!!! I am SO thankful that I worked so hard to keep him in...but I stopped doing everything I was doing and have done everything to help him come out and now he doesn't want to! We went to dinner tonight and we had to leave. I was having bad contractions every four minutes for a minute....after an HOUR they started to fade! What the heck? I will CRY if we are in week 41-42 waiting!
NumberFive - Monday, 12 May
awwww, well i hate when dr dont check its so exciting to know that u have dialted more, oh well lots of sex it worked for me lol!good luck hun
NumberFive - Monday, 12 May
oh wow 75% and he didnt check u, werid!
Well haoppy mothers day!
let me know when u have ur baby!
MommyJewels - Saturday, 10 May
I wasn't going to celebrate it really...but I think that we are mommy's just that our babies are in our bellies. Last Mother's Day was really emotional as I was told right before that I wouldn't be able to have kids. So...I kinda just ignored it and then this year all my mom friends are saying HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY and reminding me that just because they are in our bellies doesn't mean that we aren't moms to be:) I hope our babies come soon!!

have u had ur baby yet, I also have pulled ligamints around cerix uturus and pelvic area they say it is from, being baby # 5
MommyJewels - Friday, 9 May
I know...I am going to stay away from the tea after reading that. YIKES. That does NOT sound fun!
MommyJewels - Thursday, 8 May
I know! Instead of shirts that say "Yes, I'm pregnant. I'm due in May, it's a boy, and no you can't touch my belly." We will need shirts that say..."Baby was born in May, I'm working on losing this weight, and no he is all mine you can't touch him" :)
I think my big concern is people touching and holding the baby when they are sick. People are SO stupid and don't think about those things. I think I'll have to get a fanny pack or something lame like that just to carry a bottle of purell everywhere:)
MommyJewels - Thursday, 8 May
Rikki-
One of my friends just had her baby. She missed him being in her belly when her belly was the only thing that he knew. She gets jealous with other people holding him and actually can't wait for when he says "MAMA" and cries in someone elses arms. I guess we will all have these types of emotions. I just know that we will have an extra special bond with our little dudes with all that we have been through to bring them into the world:)
shannondawnb - Thursday, 8 May
Hey Rikki, thats lousy, i kept meaning to buy some, but havent yet. Think i ll pass. You may be fighting a bug, regardless, hope you kick it and get some rest. :) Take care.
firstmaybaby - Thursday, 8 May
thats a fair decision, hope things work out for you guys. and your welcome :)
firstmaybaby - Thursday, 8 May
oh sorry must have read the message you wrote on the 38 week wall wrong. i thought you said you were going to wait. have you made a decision yet or you still unsure?
baby.elayazra - Wednesday, 7 May
Hello Rikki, The choice has become easy for me to make. I'm due here in 2 weeks not sure the sex of the baby, but one thing I am sure of is we will be having him circumsized. Some men have their foreskin and never have any problems, while others can suffer terrible pain later in life with it. My husband is not circumsized but if he doesn't get his problems under controll he will be getting one, which at age 35 I would image could be quite painful. Its a choice you must make. If we didn't have this experience we might not be doing it. Good luck, I'm sure you'll make the right choice for your son. God Bless!
firstmaybaby - Wednesday, 7 May
also another thing if your thinking of doing it later you should know that doctor's will not do the circumcision once your son has reached 10 pounds or heavier. so if you wait you wont be able to wait forever.
firstmaybaby - Wednesday, 7 May
i totally agree with you that it is expensive to circumsize but if it were me i would get it done because then its something your son doesn't have to worry about when he's an adult. also once he reaches 4 yrs old someone l have to teach him how to keep that area really clean and be shown how to pull the extra skin back to clean it good. this happened with my step-brother, his mom didn't get him circumsized at birth because of the expense but because he couldn't keep the area clean enough he ended up getting an infection down there and at 5 yrs old had to get the circumcision done regardless otherwise it would just keep getting infected. it was the worst experience for him because like at birth they don't put you out they just freeze it. you could imagine what kind of trauma he went through being 5 and being able to see and feel what was going on. but it is still a choice that is up to the parent. i hope maybe i made your decision easier.
xobeckyxo - Wednesday, 7 May
Hello! So about the waiting to get circumcised.. I had a friend at work whose parents couldn't afford the surgery when he was born so he never got circumcised. When he was 24 he made the decision that he wanted to have it done and he was worried that he was going to be in all kinds of pain and misery. Well I saw him a week later and he said it didn't really hurt and it was already almost totally healed to the point that he could "use" it LOL. He said it was way less pain and misery than he thought and healed very quickly. I guess all I am saying is that if you do decide to wait it doesn't mean it will be more painful for the child..and the doctors will be giving him his pain meds anyway. We are having a girl but we discussed circumcision..I wouldn't really want to do it but my husband is all for it. I would just want to leave that decision up to my son and if he wants it done he can have it done later on in life at his personal choice...but i KNOW my husband would never go for that !!! Everything will be just fine for your little man, good luck!
stephbaby1 - Wednesday, 7 May
Hey I know this is a little late but I just wanted to tell you to do some serious research before you go through with the circumsision. a friend of mine got her son done and went through tons of complications. They have now told her that her son will continue to have problems unless he undergoes a series of surgery as he grows... I didnt think the vanity was worth it after that. It looked extremely painful for the little guy. But if you do chose to go through with it. I wish you and your little one the best!! :)
dancinmama - Wednesday, 7 May
We had my son circumcised on the eighth day as they do bilblically. They are supposed to have the highest tolerance for pain and their resistance to infection is supposed to peak around that time. Our pediatrician also does not do them so we had to go to a stranger, but figured he had to be experienced since he was one of only a couple docs that did them! Our son had "a difficult circumcision" as the doctor put it (I wouldn't know the difference!) and needed a little extra TLC for the week afterward, but all in all everything healed nicely and nothing is the worse for wear. :) I would just recommend that if you are really nervous about it all to let your husband be the one that stays with him while it is done. They start crying right away, but it is just because they strap them down to hold them still - not because they are in pain. Of course they gave him a local anesthetic, too. But, it is hard to listen to...or maybe both of you can be there giving your little guy support. Just know that after it is all over and after a few days have passed and everything is healing nicely you will probably never think of it again. I hadn't until reading posts about it up here! Good luck!
Whitney - Wednesday, 7 May
Hi- I felt that way too before- we could not decide about circumcision and i was so scared it will hurt him! I researched it and asked my doctor and friends who did it. they all say it is so simple, smooth, and so much easier to keep infections away in the future. so we are going to do it. my doctor said 99% of boys born at our hospital have it done. my friend has a 6 month old and they did it and they said he did not seem bothered by it, and it was all healed in a week. good luck deciding! either way, it will be fine! people do both!
mommy4babyboy511 - Wednesday, 7 May
Hi. I was also torn with the idea of curcumcising our son. I eventually washed my hands of the decision and told my husband it was up to him. He was all for it for all the same reasons everyone always says. People will make fun of him if he isn't. It will be strange if we don't look the same. Etc, Etc. However, one night on these boards someone posted a link to the
