    Laura...



    I can not wait to hear the whole story of his entrance! Hope you and Kai are doing well.

    Kai's arrival... and my stupid bp prompted me to actually wash some clothes for this lil' one. It was amazing to see Micah's old things... I can't believe they are ever that small!!

    Lauren - High BPs, huh? I've read over the previous posts in here and just know that I'm thinking about you. You mentioned OB is on vaca for two weeks?

    Samantha - The shirts are super cute:)

    Jennifer - How you doin? Does Bella know what's going on?

    Sam~ Your sweet little man is due on my dad's birthday. That warms my heart. Woot woot to all you rocking mommies. I am hoping to be on this board with number 2 next year. No baby till I am closer to done with my degree. This wait is killing me

    20.weeks today's the day in trinitys pregnancy we were told something was wrong. We were told wed need a miracle for her to live. The next 5 weeks were a roller coaster. Wish you all live.closer today!

    liams mommy - Jun 15, 2012 6:21 pm (#269 Total: 611)  

     

    Samantha- thinking of you today, i know how hard this is...and btw, i like your shirts

    Lindsay- yes, Bella knows what's going on, and she's beyond excited! I was hesitant to tell her, b/c i knew how excited she would be and with all the bleeding we were having in the beginning, i didnt want to crush her spirit....but i also didnt' want anyone else to know before she knew. so we ended up telling her after our second ultrasound. It's so wonderful to see her talk to the babies, rub my belly, talk about what the names should be....her understanding is so much more than it was when we were pregnant with Liam.

    I'm doing good, just getting so nervous! might be tmi, but i've been having discharge everyday since the bleeding has stopped. i went from pantyliner for the spotting to pantyliner for the discharge. I think i remember having this with Bella, but it's been soo long. I'm freaking out b/c yesterday i had some that was a bit more solid...it made me think mucous plug....i've called the doctor, and she seems to think it's just normal discharge. anyone else have this? it's pale yellow in color.
    my first cervical length check is monday and it can't come fast enough!

    A moment in our arms, a lifetime in our hearts.  

    Samantha- Hugs momma, passing those "D-day" milestones are tough- I'll be keeping you guys in my thoughts!

    Jennifer- I don't think anything is TMI around here... especially when pregnant! We're the most poked and prodded people around! No shame, no shame! I also noticed a big change, which I remembered from our previous pregnancies, but just recently it seemed to take a big jump and I asked about it- sure enough BV, first ever. Oh the joys of pregnancy!

    Still' cruisin' along here in the 140s/70s seemingly no matter what I do even with meds, but all labs holding steady and baby seems ok with the pressure, so go figure!

    Hey everyone! Never thought I would find myself here again... Lol

    I am only 6-7 weeks right now with twins. Expected due date is February 6th ish... Will hopefully get in with the specialist next week to confirm everything. We are still in shock over everything.

    Off to catch up on everyone else!

    In less than 24 hour I will walk into the same Dr office, same u/s room for the same 20 week anatomy scan that crushed our dreams 6 years ago. To say I'm nervous is an understatement. I wish I had one of my fellow angel moms to go with me. I almost just praying lil man is measuring good. Ohhh its gonna be a long day!

    Mom to Tucker (27 weeker, 05/26/06)  

    Samantha, GREAT news!!

    Aimee, WOW!!! Congrats!!! Keep us all posted.

    Lauren, sorry, I am confused. Aren't you just 31 weeks? You only have 3 weeks left? Sorry, I am not good with math!

    I made it to 25 weeks, 4 days with perfect blood pressure, so I'm pretty excited, even though there are still almost 15 weeks left for things to change.

    I went to the NP on Friday, I have been in the WORST pain lately. Lower abdomen and lower back....the maternity belt helped for a few days and then it didn't help anymore.

    I was so hoping that I had a UTI or kidney infection or something, when the NP examined me I cried because it hurt so much.

    She said my cervix is closed and I am not experiencing any labor or anything (which it didn't seem like I was, but still nice to know!), and all my labs came back normal. So it is just round ligament pains.....I have been having the pregnancy waddle since about 22 weeks, even though I've just gained 12 pounds total. I am just carrying this baby very low, and it is not comfortable. I know that every minute of it will be worth it when I get to meet Easton and hold him, so let's get to the end of September already!!

    Leigh- It's just never good when you're hoping for a UTI or kidney infection! Ouch momma! I hope baby finds a more comfortable position... cause man... OUCH! Yay for awesome BP!

    Samantha- So thankful to hear you are and baby are looking good! It's like you got someone watchin out for you or something.

    We're 34 weeks tomorrow... which puts us in steroid free territory! Woot Woot!

    Lauren-Sure you can add me! I know for a fact that I will be around here a lot more now! My EDD is 02/06/13

    We are still in kinda shock too, but accepting it. Coming to terms. I may actually even be a little excited at the prospect of two! I finally got in with the high risk OB! Appt is next Tuesday at 10:15 am. Hopefully we will see more of these two critters! I am excited that it is the same OB I had with Nick!

    Morning/afternoon sickness is in full swing! I don't like this part! And the girls are getting huge! I think I doubled cup size overnight! And they were already plentiful to begin with!

    A moment in our arms, a lifetime in our hearts.  

    Samantha- Ut oh, is this a sign of this lil' man's personality to come- already givin' momma wrinkles? In all seriousness momma- you don't have to do this alone. I saw a psych that specialized in medical trauma issues that I saw during Micah's pregnancy, and see with this one too. I owe my sanity to him.

    Officially steroid free. Rock on. Now if I make it through this pregnancy Mag free um.. I think I'm a rock star.

    tucker'smom - Jun 21, 2012 6:10 pm (#286 Total: 611)  

    Mom to Tucker (27 weeker, 05/26/06)  

    Samantha, I agree with Lauren, you can speak to a counselor. I don't want you to be too sad or anxious to enjoy any of the pregnancy, you deserve some peace!!

    Lauren, that is fantastic about getting to 34 weeks!! When did you get Mag with Micah? Right at the end, I hope....not for too long, that stuff is awful!

    My big fear right now is how Tucker will react to the baby. He is SO bossy, he tries to boss any baby we see. "Be quiet! Quit crying! Change your diaper!" My mom and MIL just say "wow, you are in for it!" Tucker is such a little prince, literally everyone around him follows his orders, even when I tell people that he is NOT the boss..he is so cute, people just do whatever he says...how is he going to react to the little screaming baby who doesn't??

    I am 26 weeks pregnant today, I visited the Babies R Us store for the first time in years last Saturday. My sisters and I were very overwhelmed, I don't even know where to start. Seriously, all I really need is a carseat, right? Maybe once DH is back on his feet I'll have more time to think about planning for the baby. Just 8 more days until he gets the cast off of his leg!
