Our other thread was taking too long again. Maddy is up from her nap and I am trying to figure out what I am making for dinner. How are you doing? Did you get a good break with your niece there? Did you call your OB to get in early? ↓
hey there - I am having trouble logging in again. It keeps telling me only registered users when I post, AFTER I've already logged in. ugh...let's see if this works! ↑
I don't get this site sometimes. Last night I couldn't post regularly - all my test posts would work but then when I'd actually type a message it would freak out. So annoying!! Still no baby! ugh - last night we went to babies R us and bought a bunch of stuff off our registry. We got a $150 gift card from Tim's employees and his mom had given us some $$ to buy the baby a gift - and I had a 10% off our registry coupon to use. got the double jogger which was really nice! Rachel loved it. :) Got the bumbo seat which I never used with Rachel - but friends have loved it. Rachel ran around the store with Tim going nuts over all the toys and stuff. She was soooo adorable! She'd see something cool and just freak out, dance, jump up and down and stuff. :) Very fun. She didn't get to bed till 9 though - and I woke her up just before 9. So there are only 2 girls left on our June group that haven't had their babies, besides me. :) Isn't that crazy? It's only the 10th! One is due at the end and one is due the 14th, but she is getting the membrane sweep today. sigh...I just cannot believe this guy is not here yet!!! I think I'll schedule an induction for next week and hope he comes sooner. Did I mention before that this Friday is Friday the 13th?? Wouldn't that be a funny one? :) haha...ok...not much else going on. Trying to find stuff to occupy my time but this rain ruins lots of ideas. :( Waht are you guys doing for father's day? Anything fun? ↑
I just posted and something went wacky- so frustrating!! Anyway, I am very interested to hear if you have progressd anymore. I bet by then you will be 5cm and 100%. That's my prediction. My appointment is on thursday too, but I won't have my first internal exam for another 2 weeks after that at 36 weeks. I slept really crappy last night and I just want these next few weeks to fly by- FAT CHANCE! Well, I am off to Wal-Mart in a few minutes. I have to get a ham for dinner tonight and they are the only place that has little ones. Everywhere else you go they are all big enough to feed 6 or more, I don't like ham that much. Maddy and Jimmy love it. Wal-Mart is also the only store around here that carries Huggies Overnight diapers, which are a must for Maddy. She pees a ton in the night, a regular diaper would never work. Okay, I'll check back later. :o} ↑
5cm - well that would be nice. :) I just got back from Target -put Rachel to bed - and am feeling kind of weird. My tummy was a bit crampy /achey and having weird twinge like pains. Not sure how to describe it. I thought I had the runs, but when I ran to the bathroom - nothing. Could be nothing - could be the beginning. I'm just hanging out waiting. :) I should clean the house again - one day and it's a mess! I got tired of keeping it spotless - it's too much work for me right now. Hey, did I tell you that Sat. when we went to the movies someone broke into our truck? I thought Tim had forgotten to lock it since I saw no signs of a break in. They riffled through the glove box and left stuff sitting out - and only took my jacket. We had all our hospital stuff packed in the back along with the jogger and two car seats. As far as I know, all that's gone is my favorite coat. Well - I thought it was Tim's fault but today I noticed that the passenger lock is busted. So he isn't in the dog house anymore! :) I'm pissed though cuz now I have to get the truck fixed and I don't really want to leave it with anyone for a day or two with kids at home. ↑
Maybe your 'feeling' is the beginning of something? Don't worry about cleaning your house, let Tim do it. That sucks that someone broke in to your truck. I hate that some people won't just buy their own stuff!! Atleast you have insurance to pay for the damages, and maybe you can fine a dealership to fix it that offers loaner cars? We have all of our work done at Honda of Fife and I got a notice last month that they now have them. It is perfect timing for us because the van is due for a service. Keep me updated as far as how you are feeling today, maybe today is the day? ↑
hey there - my cramping is still there and I'm getting a lot of BH's...Tim doesn't want to go to his class tonight just in case. :) He's using me again. hahaha...my mom left me a message saying she's on her way anyways - hope it's not for nothing. :) I have massive pressure in my butt and lower tummy is killing me every now and then. Maybe I should start timing things.... ↑
Yea!! It sound like maybe tonight is the night!?!? Keep posting as long as you can. I can't wait to hear what has happend by morning. Keep me updated. ↑
WHAT ABOUT NOW??? I can't wait to come see you and the baby in the hospital. C'mon baby!! So glad to hear your mom is on her way. If this is it, I hope you aren't in too much pain right now. ↑
everything died down last night except for the stabbing pains in the butt area and constant wiggling from the little guy. I'm having cramping on and off this morning but nothing consistent. :( I'm calling to see if I can get in today at the dr office. They open at 8:30 so I'll keep calling here in a second till I get in. :) ↑
I might try that tonight when Tim gets home from work - we went to Ikea today and all of a sudden I got that the diahrea cramping feeling-and I can't spell the stupid word. :) I ran to the bathroom thinking I was going to explode (sorry, TMI) but then all I had to do was pee and sit there and wait and see. Nothing. I'm getting crampy again too - so maybe we'll go tonight. I'm gonna take a nap here and see how I feel when I get up. ↑
I am so glad your mom is there to help you with Rachel. I am kindof thinking you should go. What's the worst that could happen- they would send you home, big deal. Maybe I want you to go for selfish reasons? Probably a little. Either way you have an appointment tomorrow and will know then what is up if you don't go tonight. I think that if you do go this evening that the nurses will be as surprised as your OB is that you have made it this far without active labor. I am starting to think that what is left of your cervix to dilate is made of steel! I'm sure your mom is amazed. Keep me in the loop. ↑
one more of the june mommies is at the hospital - her water broke a little bit ago - I really AM going to be last!! I just got up and was going to take a walk but my mom, step-dad AND Rachel are all napping still. I really need to get her up - it's almost 4:30!! ↑
hey we are both posting at the same time. :) I want to go tonight but I kind of feel silly - hi, I feel like I have to poop all the time and I am crampy on and off, will you look and see what I have going on?? :) Tim just sent me a text and told me to hang in there, maybe it will be tomorrow and I almost started to ball my eyes out cuz that seems like forever from now and it's getting depressing. sigh...I need some candy. :) ↑
Come to my house. I'll share my swedish fish with you. :o} I wouldn't feel silly at all. I think that you should go and find out what is happening. Don't let Tim or anyone else discourage you from going if you want to. I can tell you that with my epidural I felt like I had to take a huge crap with every contraction. My butt hurt sooooo bad! No pressure at all, but, if it were me, I would definitely go. Women go all the time and are sent home. Women are also admitted with less progress than you have made. ↑
i decided to wait. we had dinner then went to my sisters - and I was just too tired to deal with it. I can wait one night I guess...ugh...but my appt is at 10:50 so I'll keep you posted! ↑
I am anxious to hear if you have gotten any further. My appointment is at 10:50am as well, so I will be looking for your post when I get home, or you can call me on my cell. That is a bummer that your OB wasn't in the office today, but you only have to wait about another 13 hours to know what is happening with your progression. Try and get some sleep and I will talk to you in the morning. ↑
How are you feeling this morning? I am leaving for my appointment in about an hour. I took some Tylenol PM last night to help me sleep and it did the trick. Jimmy's alarm went off at 3:45am and I didn't wake up at all. Maddy got up about an hour earlier than normal, but it was okay. BH have been killing me the las few days and are really regular all throughout the day and night- wonder what that is all about?? Sometimes it gets so tight that it stings all over my tummy. Anyway, let me know what your OB says, you can call my cell if you want to. ↑
hey there - I'm almost 5cm. she says all she needs to do is break my water to get things moving. :) I'm scheduled to be induced tomorrow - but the hospital will call me in the morning to let me know when to come in. Guess they have been kind of busy lately and there is one person ahead of me that is more of an emergency. So...I told them I didn't want to be induced but I would go ahead if they could use as little drugs as possible so I can try to do this as natural as possible. She also stripped my membranes - but I didn't feel it at all. I wonder if she actually did, since she doesn't want me to go that fast so she can be there. :) You have to wonder sometimes! :) ↑
That is great! I know you wanted to do it all on your own though. I had my appointment today too, and it turns out that I may have to wait for my induction. The hospital changed their policy regarding "convienience" inductions. Instead of scheduling it at my 36 week appointment I have to wait until my 38, and even then they usually only do it 3 days before your EDD. My OB thinks I may go into labor on my own before then. The BH have been fast and furious for the past few days and he offered to check me, but I declined. Oh, and he said he would only induce if I was atleast dilated to a 2. Oh, how the story changes as you get closer. I just don't want Jimmy and my mom to be in Seattle when the time comes. I would litterally be alone, unless Julie happened to be home. I'm just scared of the whole thing. I am so happy for you though. Let me know what time you are going in when you find out. You are going to be at Overlake, right? ↑
overlake it is..I'm gonna try to take a nap now. Rachel went down really early - I think she's either sick or her new teeth are bothering her. She got up at 12:45 screaming and I had to give her tylenol and hold her and lay her in bed with us for a while. I'm wiped out... ↑
Lets hope it is just her teeth coming in, and she isn't getting sick. Yes, get some rest, you have a BIG DAY tomorrow- the BIG DAY! I'm sure that if your OB told you she was stripping your membranes that she really did do it. Otherwise, she could just tell you that she didn't want to do it. Talk to you later. ↑
ok - I'm starting to have doubts about tomorrow! I want so bad for this to happen on it's own and I want to give it just a bit more time. I think I'm crazy!!! Tim wants to make sure he comes out ok so he is all for tomorrow but he's a guy, he doesn't understand wanting the "experience". :) I'll have to think about it - I called the dr's office to see what happens if I change my mind and want to wait till at least monday. I feel like it's going to be sooon so I just want to wait sort of, even though I don't really. :) ↑
You know, it is totally up to you. It's your body and if you really want to wait and let things happen on their own, then that is what you should do. You are right, it probably will be very, very soon. If it is worth it to you to wait, then wait. ↑
