Proud Mom to Ryan 33 Weeker Now 2 and Second Baby Due 10/31/08!  

Hi girls!

Well, I have been absent for a while now. So sorry about that! I am now officially 15 weeks! Yay! I started feeling better a couple of weeks ago, then last week, it all went downhill. Turns out, I got the Rhotavirus AGAIN! Second time in a month! Yuk! I finally started feeling better Sunday. I turned 32 yesterday, so I am glad that I was able to enjoy my birthday dinner! Now I am at the point where I just want to eat! Anything and Everything! Yay to Brandi for making it past 27 weeks! Donnavie... hang in there! Please keep us posted! My next appointment is May 14th. The shots are going okay. I just deal now. My count is at 71. My milk jug is almost full now (of the shots). I am getting anxious about finding out the sex of this baby. Wishing for a girl, but will take any healthy baby. Nicki... I hope you are doing well!

Toodles,
Aimee

Proud mommy to Aiden (27-weeker)-now 23 months old & another on the way EDD 7/26/08  

Happy Mother's Day

Hi ladies,
I hope everyone is doing well. I am officially 29 weeks today. I'm getting ultrasounds done every week now. They are doing BPP (biophysical profile) and doppler ultrasounds. It's nice to see her face every week.
On the down side, I'm on Zoloft. I can't get past the anxiety with this pregnancy. No matter how good things are going, I keep waiting for the worst to happen. I've heard the side effects can be hard on me, so I'm waiting to take them on Monday night (I don't work Tuesday thru Friday). Wish me luck!

Aimee~Happy belated birthday!! I'm glad things are going well. Hopefully you'll start to feel the baby kicking soon!

Nicki~
Not to much longer and you'll be out of the 1rst trimester. I hope you start feeling better.

Since they are going to take Rowan at 38 weeks (pending no problems), I have 9 weeks to go. OMG that is so crazy to me. I haven't bought anything for her...superstitious I guess.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Brandi

Brandi,
Im sorry about your anxiety. I have a friend that started Zoloft when she was pregnant, she said it helped so much. Hopefully it does the same for you and you dont get bad side effects. Thats good your getting the u/s every week maybe that will help too! Yay 29 weeks.
I go back to the dr on tues. I think I will ask for nausea meds. They were going to give them to me last time but they give me headaches so I told them no but now I think I'd rather have a headache.
I've got 25 weeks to go! I am only 9w3d but they are going to take the baby at 36 weeks. As long as everything goes smooth.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY EVERYONE!!!
Nicki
p.s. My hubby surprised me this year! he actually took the boys and they got me a juicer and slippers! (I usually buy my own gift)

Mom to 2 angels and to Isabella, a 29 weeker who's 20 months  

Just checking in real quick! I'm still here. I hope everyone is well.

Aimee~Happy Belated bday!

Brandi~I can totally understand the anxiety your feeling. I hope the meds work well for you.

Nicki~I'm still so sick and miserable. We're not too far apart from each other. I'm due Nov. 30 so we're about a week apart right??

Well I heard the baby's heartbeat yesterday and all was fine. I have another u/s next week because my ob wants to start measuring my cervix to make sure it's not thining out. She also wants me to start the progesterone shots when I'm 16 weeks but she said it's totally up to me. Gotta go Bella's crying.

Mom to Destiny (37 wks), ^Jaden^ and Cadence (28 wk twins), ^Leland^(17 weeks), and one on the way EDD 1-4-09  

Hey ladies! Had my first appt today and U/S! all looks good the lil bean is about 2.2mm and the heartrate was 131bpm, I finally know it's real and it feels good but I am so scared, b/c I didn't get to see my Dr and the plans we had made for this pregnancy are not being followed, so I am praying this will be smooth sailing so I don't have to fight with the dr's.

I have been having headaches like crazy and I'm broke out in a rash. I just can't wait for the next 5 or so weeks to be over!
