Ok much easier to load. OK STEF - when i was preggo with Anthony i was 1cm FOREVER and i wasnt due till July the beginning and out of the blue went into labor 2 weeks early. But it can happen out of nowhere or on the other hand at least you know by next Wednesday shes gonna be here. ↑

Thanks Robyn for starting a new one. This will be a good place to get a baby born and get some more bfp's!! Here is my post from the last thread...Stef, well crap that she won't be here when your sister is. The Dr knows best as much as I hate to say that!! At least there is an end in sight for you! Maybe just maybe she will come this week. Try walking and more sex. LOL Jen, wow! I think it is fine that Clay goes over there. I think he would have a ball! It would be like he was at camp for a month which is not uncommon. Is he flying alone??? Julie, glad to see you check in, I hope you get to feeling more like yourself soon! Cyndi, SO sorry they changed your appt. That sucks! Just a couple of more days and you will get to see your little peanut! ↑

oops! it ook too long to type!! here is my copy and paste.................. JULIE :) So glad that you popped in! You are definately missed but we know you have a full house to take care of. How is Kayla adjusting to her big sister role? has she had any moments? In the pics she looks so proud, as she should! Is your recovery getting any better for you? I sure hope so :) .....STEF- sounds like Ava is nice and healthy. i think i would have a tendency to be a bit frustrated too, but it is harder on your body, even being induced, when you have to coax it to work with you. Gosh, I wish you losts of LABOR DUST!!! ....Thanks for the feedback about Clay's travels. He will have a great time and this will be his seconf trip in 2 years to Germany. He will be surrounded by Patrick's relatives over there who go nuts for the kid, so i don't worry about him being taken care of. I will just miss him terribly. Patrick will too. He texted me this afternoon saying that he already missed him just thinking about him leaving. I guess he was talking to a girl in the office about it over lunch and she told him to "cut the umbilical cord"! GEEZ! Can't a Dad love and miss his son?! anyway. He will be here for our big ultrasound on the 14th and i made sure that was not affected. It is important for both of us that Clay be there. So i am happy that he will be but sad that he will leave the very next day :(.............ALLIE- testing tomrrow?? what kind of test are you planning on using?? = ↑
Name: ZenGirl | Date: Jul 1st, 2008 8:17 PM
no, Clay would be traveling with his Oma (Patrick's mom). We would not be going. ↑
Name: saramcg | Date: Jul 1st, 2008 8:18 PM
haha- I did the same thing Jen!!! Here's Mine...STEF- what a bummer about not being dialated anymore! BOOO well at least you have a plan!!! Maybe miss ava will wait just until your sister gets here and then BAM--she will get to experience everything with you! Are you two up for that if it happens that way? would she want to be in the room with you or is it just going to be you and Jessie? And I guess you are right...if your body isn't ready, then being induced may give you a LONG drawn out labor! That wouldn't be good. I am glad that you got to see miss Ava again, and I hope that she is here soon...if not just think, it's less than a week!!! JULIE-- good to hear from you and see you post...I really hope that you feel better soon. LOL about Robyn and the 3 million a year!!! ... wouldn't that be nice for anyone though!!! CYNDI- sorry about the appointment beign screwed up...but at least 2 more days isn't as bad as another week! I will be routing for you on THursday (hah I go that day too...possibly to get off bedrest once and for all!!!) ZEN---wow about your son going to Germany for a month...hopefully he doesn't get homesick cuz there is no driving to get him! But he seems old enough and that would be a GREAT experience, not to mention that you would get a little time to yourself with hubby...you will miss him like crazy, but that is awsome...I personally have NEVER gone overseas!!! I visit Canada a lot (or used to since I live around Detroit and the drinking age was only 19 there haha) so I say go for it! maybe there could be the possibility of switching his ticket to come home earlier if he really had to? CYNN---hi to you!!! I hope work gets a little easier! I dread going back (although technically I am still laid off...hopefully they will start makingcallbacks soon so I can calm my nerves) but glad to see you post just the same!!! alright ladies, got to realx a little now, been a busy day around the house!!! = ↑

Thank you girls so much :) I am a lot more ok with what happened today then last Friday. I think it helps me to have a plan because I am so anal, lol. For a bit tonight I started having BH again at like 10 minute intervals and they were a bit more painful, but again they stopped. I'm just gonna read and relax as I have a ton of books still from the library. I do really think it can happen before next Tuesday so I'll just try to be patient! ↑

Good morning chicks! Robyn I hope hubby laughed at the 'twonk' comment. I am glad you got a laugh out of it. PND - Post Natal Depression is the same thing as PPD (Post Partum) and yes (to me although I am no doctor) it sounds like you just may be suffering from it. It makes perfect sense to be protective over him - hell look at what it has taken you to get him here safe? Look what it has taken all of us so if we go a little do-lally sometimes it is to be expected but you are slightly more extreme. Some signs are ------obsessive fears about the baby's health or wellbeing, or about yourself and other members of the family, an overpowering anxiety, often about things that wouldn't normally bother you, difficulty sleeping: either not getting to sleep, waking early,or having vivid nightmares, having panic attacks, which strike at any time, causing rapid heartbeat, sweaty palms and feelings of sickness or faintness, thinking of death more often - either yours or babies or other family members. There is also the 'standard' signs that most women believe are the only signs like crying, feeling baby isn't yours, irritability, feeling inadequate etc. I would say definitely something to discuss or at least keep a watch on. It also doesn't have to occur immediately after a birth - it can occur a few months down the line etc. Hopefully your doctor (is it the same one as pregnancy one) can help out with some answers. Stef, I am sorry to see you aren't getting anywhere but it is definitely true that things can move quicker than you think. I would say though with you RELAX! Sit your damn ass on the sofa and do bugger all - if you have to get out humpback whales having sex for God's sake DO IT! You are that worried that she won't show before your sister gets here Ava has probably twigged that now is not a good time to make an appearance! Julie, good to see you are up and about if still FUBAR'ed. Katie (was it you asking about Lori?) Lori is on a camping trip - will be back this Friday I think. Definitely a braver woman than me! I am dreading a trip to Scotland in August and I have a roof and beds! Zen, I would say Clay will love every minute of it and on the otehr side it gives you and hubby some time alone before number 2 makes an appearance. You can have honeymoon number two ;-) ! It can be his summer of fun before he has to share family with another baby and can be your summer of relaxation (or as much as you can) with hubby. Make time for yourselves. Okay must run - a wailing banshee has shown up in my house! ↑

Hi Ladies! I took another test today and it was negative yet again. I am on 12dpo and today my temp went way up on dpo 10 it was at 97.87 and dpo 11 98.07 and today 98.48. What do you girls think. Also I have a question about being 13dpo what if I don't get a positive tomorrow and I get on on 14dpo does that mean my hcg numbers may be too low. I am using First response test and I would assume that my hcg would be between 20 and 40 when I get a positive. Someone on here said that 13dpo should be at a 100 hcg or higher. I am just trying to understand if I do get a positive tomorrow and my hcg is 40 is that still okay? Thanks for any thoughts. I will check in later. I better get back to work. Jenna ↑
Name: Tory1980 | Date: Jul 2nd, 2008 9:53 AM
Jenna. FRER NEVER worked for me. I did three tests at 14DPO and 2 showed up positive (clear blue and Tesco's own brand) but the FRER was negative. I had negatives before then too (even the day before) so don't worry about that at all. it confused me too but for some reason it is like a switch with me - until I am 14DPO whether I am pregnant or not it won't show up. The fact your twmps are still pretty high is a good thing. hCG levels vary woman to woman so that is another thing to stop panicing abour - I had a hCG done a few weeks ago and here it has to be below 7 to say 'not pregnant' whereas over there I think it is 5. Either way I am not pregnant so it's not to worry but my level is 4. Whether the hCG in my body is just there to match number of live births or not is yet to be seen but I also wonder if it something to do with the BF'ing. Still no AF so maybe there is a connection. i really hope this is your month and everything is crossed. Wouldn't it be sweet if you and Katie were pregnant together? You could compare throwing up records etc - longest distance, fastest sprint etc. Cyndi, missed the appointment thing but I certainly wouldn't have missed them when I took a swing at their heads! Seriously it's not that difficult to ring you at work. They should have just rang both numbers and been done with it the first time or with no response after the first call then tried your work. A few more days and hopefully you will see little one waving at you. Stef, I am also with Sara on this. The fact you are first time mum and barely dilated could mean more intervention than is really needed. They go by a points scheme as you hoe favouable you are for induction - at present you are on 1 point and they usually want 6points or more. ↑
Name: FrancesM | Date: Jul 2nd, 2008 10:19 AM
Morning all. Ugh I am so tired. Sara, are you so tired all the time? I am dragging! I hope the Dr takes you off of bed rest on Thursday! On another note. My feet are swollen too and that drives me crazy! I have a high risk appt tomorrow and I want them to be normal when I go...Tory, are you glad to know that you are not pg! LOL How is your back feeling? When do you go back to the Dr for it? Stef, sounds like some progression with the harder contractions. I have my fingers crossed that she will decide to go ahead and make an appearance before the 8th. Sex sex sex! Jen, I am glad Clay is not traveling alone. I really did not think you let him go all the way over there without a parent. That is great that his Gma is going to come get him. Is he so excited?? This will be a great bonding time for you and Patrick before your whole world changes again (for the good of course). Jenna, poo on the - test. I still would not give up yet. Sometimes it won't pick up until you actually miss your AF. When are you due for that? Are you going to get your blood drawn to see what your levels are? Good morning to everyone else. ↑

Have I told you ladies how much I adore you all? You totally make me feel better when I am down and always seem to make me smile. And crack me up here and there too! ROBYN--Your new dh sounds like such a wonderful person and it just sucks that he contributes more to your son than his own father, and does it out of love, where the sperm donator complains about his share! It is such a hard thing to have mixed families and to have exes that only think of themselves and not the children only makes it worse. I always tell my step kids that they are very luck because they have two moms and two dads that love them very much, I can deal with his ex for the sake of the children. Stef--i am sorry to hear that you haven't made any progress, but glad to hear you have a set date and plan. Julie--Hello woman, so good to hear from you! JEN--Wow, that is awesome about Clay going to Germany. it is such a sweet sentiment that this is his last summer as an only child. SARA--Hope you have a good visit at the doc and get off of bed rest completely! KATIE--OMG you cracked me up on the ex 's new "I don't really know what to call her" and then the toucan name...holy crap that was funny! JENNA--I am not sure what to say about the FRER not coming up + at 12dpo. Your temps are still up though, I would test tomorrow and go from there. I am crossing everything for you to get that BFP. FRANCES--Sorry to hear you have cankles from the swelling. Best of luck at your appt tomorrow. I can't wait for my scan tomorrow. I hope I have the little one waving at me. I will just be beside myself with joy. Of course I still have the small fear, but I am just going to go in with positive thoughts, hell, that's what got me through the past 2 years, and I will update you lovelies tomorrow afternoon. TTFN I am sorry if I missed anypne personally...+++Cyndi+++ ↑
Name: saramcg | Date: Jul 2nd, 2008 10:56 AM
JENNA- sorry about the bfn, but I am with Tory on the FRER's. I used it at 12dpo and got NOTHING!!! and then at 14 dpo, when af didn't show in the morning, I used both the FRER and the equate brand from walmart that gives the pluses. WELL, the walmart brand showed right away and nothing on the FRER until well after the time limit. so I have a feeling like Tory that the FRER's are not meant for some people. Good luck though b/c your temps seem really good! Maybe for tomorrow monring get another brand to test with aswell? Oh and I wouldn't worry about the hcg #'s if you do get a positive in the next few days...it may just be the way your body produces it? FRANCES---YES I am tired A lot! I think that comes with the territory! I hope that your feet stop the swelling soon...put hem up girl! For me it is my hands. my rings are stuck, and it is really hard to make a fist, and I drop a lot of things, but hopefully they won't start to hurt very much. Ok sorry for missing everyone else. Dh's aunt is coming over to see Mikie and she is a neat freak, so I have a little bit of picking up to do! I will be back after she leaves to say hi to the rest of you! ↑
Name: ROBYN | Date: Jul 2nd, 2008 11:10 AM
Hey girls, TORY - i dont really have any of those symptoms. Just the one of the fear of something happening to him in his sleep. And yes i do get up frequently during the night to check him when he doesnt wake (but wouldnt that be considered normal) if the baby doesnt wake you wouldnt consider checking him? I have my doc appt tomorrow yes its the same one as the pregnancy so i will throw some of these questions at him. Thank you for being so observant.. JENNA - i always used FRER and unlike the others it was the only reliable test that i truly trusted for me. But we did IVF so things were expected to show earlier than a natural pregnancy. But 13 dpo at 100 i dont know about that i think that may be on the middle to higher end of an hcg level for that early past dpo. For my 1st IVF at 14 dpo i was 77 and my 2nd IVF with frozen blastocysts at 10 dpo i was 292 so thats a huge difference. CYNDI - thanks for the kind words on my new hubby i agree with you. Today the sperm donor is picking him up and they leave for Georgia on Sat then heading back home a few days after that hes taking him to Disney to a couple of water parks. justin did awesome last night he went to sleep at 730p woke at 430a for a bottle and slept till 730 that was awesome. This kid is close to 18lbs and hes only 4months and 1 week. Hes so big and so heavy. TORY how big is Miss I now? CYNN - what about Jazz i know you mentioned previously but i like to see the difference since ours a pretty close in age. ↑
Name: FrancesM | Date: Jul 2nd, 2008 11:50 AM
Sara, I have the hand swelling too. I had to relinquish my rings to the safe and I am wearing Dh's wedding band...that is all I can stand on my fingers. I am going to drag a stool over here to my desk and put these feet up. When I am working they are down all day and get bad. I can feel them sloshing! It is nasty! LOL ↑
Name: Tory1980 | Date: Jul 2nd, 2008 12:09 PM
Robyn, Imogen is about 17lb I would say now - maybe slightly over but she is 7months old. He is HUGE but NOT fat if that makes sense. Personally for me if he didn't wake up I would be counting my blessings and all those sheep bouncing around fields! If Imogen was in her own room and sleeping through the night after getting up I would check her BUT not during the night - more so if she hadn't woken by 6am or so. I do remeber absolutly bricking it when we first put Matthew in his own room. He was the child who at a year old was still waking during the night and the first night he slept for 13hours! 13!! We woke at 9am and realised he hadn't made a sound. We then spent 20mins fighting over who was going to check on him! Unforunately getting kicked out of the bed (literally!) meant it was me. I have never moved so slowly or so quietly to check on a child before or since and I placed my hand on his chest to make sure he was still breathing and sure enough all was well. Got back to my bedroom, tried to attack Bob and 30sec later the brat woke up screaming! It won't be long before Justin is sleeping through the night and be careful if you are checking on him because you could be disturbing him and that could cause him to wake up when he doesn't really want to. I think this is the problem Imogen and I are having - we are disturbing each other. I wish that was the case with Imogen - she is still up once a night. Goes down between 7pm and 8pm gets up about 4am and then sleeps to 6-7am. I just want rid of the 4am feed and all will be sunshine and light again! LOL! Getting up frequently isn't a good thing - by now you should be catching up on sleep - not having less sleep than you should. If baby is sleeping, you should be sleeping. Do you have an AngelCare monitor? If you are that worried seriously consider asking for a Sleep Apnea Monitor to rent from the hospital or maybe buy one like the Respisense Baby Breathing Effort Monitor. They are just ideas that may help you relax a little. I LOVE your Doctor. i think you landed on your feet there little lady with him so hopefully he will put all fears to rest or maybe clip you around the ear and tell you to start doing yoga or something! LOL! I can see him doing that so make sure your chair is a few inches away from his desk so he can't quite reach you! Sara, seriously how can you be tired? You have doing nothing but sit on your ass for the past few months! LOL! You are going to be soooo shattered even with small tasks after they bring you off bedrest. i hope it is soon to allow you to get some sort of stamina back before the little madam causing all the trouble shows up. Now for a telling off - put the toys down, step away from the duster! Woman! To hell with the neat freak! If she is that worried about your house she can bloody well clean it! ↑
Name: ROBYN | Date: Jul 2nd, 2008 1:32 PM
TORY - i love your posts i just picture you and bob lying in bed going no you go check no you go check no you TWONK you go check ( did i use it in the right context ) LOL. I understand about him being huge and not fat hes very proportioned. Hes very tall over 27 1/2 inches. Seems like Imogen and Justin have very similar sleeping schedules hes like clockwork with going to bed its like an alarm he MUST be in bed by 730 he would go earlier but Jason gets home at 6pm and wants to spend some time with him so we bathe him every night you should see Jason sitting in a bathing suit in the bathtub and Justin lying in his own bathtub which now is way too small Jason get peed on every single day in the bathtub i crack up laughing so hard all of sudden you will see that winkie just shoot up out of the water and Jason jumps hes like WTF this kid has got great aim. He missed Jasons mouth yesterday literally by Jason turning at the last minute too funny. But thats their time together during the week and then Jason will feed him in his nursery and we put him to bed in his crib thats the end. OH yes we do have the angel care but this kid moves so much in his sleep that monitor would go off constantly we just use the monitor part of it. OH i hope Dr hottie is working tomorrow man i wish i could snap a pic of his hot self put that one up on the piczo. Jason is staying home with Justin or i could say hey dr hottie could you take a pic with Justin for his baby book. ummmm the wheels are turning now...... ↑

Hi Girls! ROBYN-thanks for starting a new thread! FRANCES-sorry to hear you feet are swollen. Maybe a trip to get a pedicure to relax them is what is needed! :) ZEN-i think that's awesome that Clay is going to Germany again. Though you will miss him and he will miss you guys dearly i think it will be such a good experience for him! JULIE-hope you are doing well and Kayla is enjoying being a big sis! STEF-sorry to hear your sister won't be hear for the baby. That sucks!!! Ava is acting girlish already...stubborn! :) JENNA-I think your temps sound great. i actually tested this morning with a First response and got a negative. i am only 11dpo. I saw my doctor today too and he told me it's too early and to wait until my AF is due so you are not out of the game yet!!! Hang in there with me! :) SARA- so when will you know if you are supposed to go back to school or not? If they call you back will you go in September or take a little time off? CYNDI-good luck tomorrow! KATIE-please let us know your numbers asap! :) TORY-thanks for all the info on post partum. I wish we could just take something after delivery to zap all our hormones back into place! CYNN-how's Jaz doing? As for me, my doctor did an u/s just to be sure the Femara didn't cause cyst's or anything and i was fine. He wrote me a prescription again for it and siad to take it if i'm not pregnant on CD3 like last time and he'll see me CD15 which won't be until around July 20. Ugh, I am only 11dpo so there is still hope for me. FX i had a false negative this morning! I did use the FRER brand too but i used that brand my last pregnancy and got a nice dark line however that wasn't until 14dpo. I think they are highly rated becaues FRER's don't give evaporation lines. At least that's what I read on line so there's no question. Anyway, hope everyone is dong well! sorry if i missed anyone! ↑

FrANCES- sorry your hands are hurting too...that sucks. It actually makes me feel better to use them a little bit, so I don't mind typing, it gets the water in there moving! Unfortunately, my hands swelled up before I was able to get my rings off! they don' hurt at all, but there is NO way I am getting them off until after she is born. The same thing happened with Mikie, just not as soon. I would feel naked without my rings on though, so I just left them! Definitely get those feet up girl! maybe even invest in a wireless mouse and keyboard so you can possibly get a chair that reclines by the monitor??? When do you stop working for a while? ALLIE- They said that they were going to make callbacks starting in July, and being that it is only the 2nd, I am not worried yet! THey send the callbacks through the mail anyways. I may call tomorrow and just ask if there is any news on that. I have no doubts that I will get called back, but it is still nice to KNOW for sure! everyday that I am out of a job makes me a little less confident! If (no WHEN) I do get called back, it will depend on when my baby gets here. I only have 6 weeks, so if she comes in July, I will probably start work close to the beginning of the school year. If it is closer to my due date, then I might have to take the first few weeks off. I am sorry about the bfn today, but it is still too early for you too! I am hoping for some dark lines this weekend!!! TORY---haha...you would think that I would be the most awake person around here huh?!!! to be honest, I am not on strict bedrest right now. and with my dh's grandma in the hospital for the past 5 weeks, I have kind of lost my main babysitter...so I have been doing a little on my own. I am really trying to build up a little stamina b/c it will be hell on earth when I have 2 kids and no energy! I actually LIKE being able to do a little picking up around here...watching my house not be how I like it for over 2 months really got to me. So I putz around here doing this ad that, but I get to sit/lay down A LOT! and I don't do the really bad things like vaccuum and carry laundry baskets up and down the stairs. I leave that to dh!!! but at least stuff is where I like it!!! My thing is that I have been confined to this house for SOOOOO long!!! it really sucks. Hopefully tomorrow I will be normal again! Mikie keeps on asking me to go to the zoo!!!! I don't even know where he got it from! So I REALLY want to take him on Friday if I can. Oh and POSSIBLY I am hoping she will give me the OK for sex again!!! I am dying here. I thought that I would get it last week, but instead, I found myself in a cold shower!!! JK, but close anyways!!! we'll see how it goes tomorrow morning! ↑

Hi ladies....I hope everyone is doing good. Frances- Sorry to hear about the swelling. I too am having the same issues. I had my 28 week ultrasound yesterday, and got some unsettling news. Doc said that my little man should be about 2 1/2 lbs, and he is measuring 2 1/2 weeks behind at 1lb 13 oz. I was told that it is most likely because of the umbilical cord having only 2 vessels instead of the normal 3 vessels. They did perform a bio fetal physical profile, and he did score an 8 out of 8, so he is doing everything he is supposed to do at this point, he is just small. I was also told that most likely I would not be allowed to much farther than 34 weeks if he continues to lag behind in size. Now on top of the kidney stones, I have this to worry about too. Has anyone ever heard or read about a situation like this that has a positive ending? Sorry to be such a downer, I am just so scared and nervous. ↑

Good Morning Ladies!!! Thank you ladies for all of the information you have given me about hpt. Well it is 4:45 am here in MN and I am not going to be able to go back to sleep this morning as I normally would for another half an hour. I hope you are all ready for more great news. I took another test today and I got my BFP. I did take pictures and will try to figure out how to upload them to piczo later today after work. I am not sure how I am even going to function today I am so excited. I just knew I was pregnant. Now I just need this one to stick. Will at 8:00 am this morning I am calling my Dr. office and getting on progesterone today. I hope you all have a great day. I will try to check in later but I truly am going to have a crazy day at work. Jenna ↑

JENNA---CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I knew that there was a reason that I couldn't sleep.haha..(well besides having a little alien kicking the you know what out of my bladder) I am SOOOOO happy for you!!! But definitely call that doc of yours!!! What a great day this is turning gout to be already!!! CYNDI good luck at you appt too!!! and LESLIE- (good to hear from you by the way) I can;t imagine how scared and nervous you must be, but just remember that you have gotten your little man into the zone where modern medicine can do WONDERS!!! I know that with my situation I took great pleasure in getting to 28 weeks (even if he is measuring behind) I think (but I am no expert) that if he is not growing as he should then sometimes being outside of the womb can be better than inside. So at 34 weeks, even if he is behind abit, it may be better that he be out here even if it is in the NICU. I pray that it doesn't happen that way for you and you keep being strong and healthy for that little one in there!!! ↑

YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY JENNA!!!!!OMG I am SOOOOOOOO happy for you! Wow, this has been an awesome month for the BFP's! ALLIE--I am crossing everything I have for you to get a bfp this month as well. Drats, that we will have to wait until Monday! KATIE--How have you been feeling? Any word on your bloodwork? STEF--It must feel so nice knowing that today is your last work day for a while and having your sis come in..AND little Ava will be here soon! SARA--Hope your appt goes well, and hope you can get the go ahead for some lovins and no more cold showers! FRANCES--Sorry about all the swelling, my mom was telling me that my sis in law who is now 8 months pregnant had to have her wedding band cut off her hand last week. POO on that! I'd die I had to have my eternity band cut off or my engagement ring..whenever they start to get tight, off they go to the safe! I am SOOO excited/nervous about my appt this afternoon. I will not relax until they get little bean on the screen and I get to see that little heart pattering away. I have some anxiety about the whole thing, but I feel in my heart that this little miracle is doing just fine. It is SOO hard to concentrate on work when all I have been thinking of is the moment she puts that wand on my tummy and looking at the screen. I KNOW I am going to cry, it is just SO emotional. PLEASE say an extra prayer for me today. I will come back to work afterwards to pick up my hubby, I will make it a point to log into the computer quick-like so I can post to you all. Love you all dearly. +++Cyndi+++ ↑

JENNA!!! Congratulations! Wonderful news!!! Leslie, glad to see you check in. So sorry about the kidney stones. I hope they are better. Curious on the baby...I have heard of being a little small but I thought (I say thought) it was blood pressure related. I am not 100% sure on that. I also think blood pressure has to do with blood flow thru the placenta. When is your next appt and what are you supposed to do in the meantime. I agree with Sara on the modern medicine. It is amazing what they can do these days. Keep us updated. Allie, I so hope this is it for you too! That would be our 3...No pressure though. We will still her here rooting you on next month if need be. Fingers crossed for you my friend! Stef, I am sure you are excited about this being your last day at work. I hope you and your sister have a great weekend. Come on Ava and get out here so you can meet your Aunt!! Keep us posted if anything happens. Cyndi, can not wait to hear about your appt today. As for me...feet still a little swollen not as bad but consistent. I have a HR appt this morning...I hope they don't mention amnio and ABJj coming early...My sugar was great this morning TG! I was told to up my dose again last night. They said that as I get more hormonal I would need more insulin so nothing alarming there. I am a big ole cry baby lately. I cried 3 times yesterday...Why? I was talking about my niece. Nothing bad, only good. She will be 11 soon and she is my little pookie. She is so grown up and I am so proud of her. Ok, gotta stop that before the waterworks come. See? Good Lord! Well, I gotta get busy and get ready to hit the road. It is my 1 year anniversary today! I am going to the meat market and get some big ole steaks for dinner. Dh brought some shrimp back from his fishing trip so I am thinking shrimp cocktail, steak, salad etc...He actually remembered this morning (before I did) which to me was really sweet. I think I am having a BH contraction right now. I always thought he was balling up but was told by Dh's cousin that it was a contraction. I had no idea and looking back, I have had them a lot. Ok, will check back in when I get back! Hello to everyone else and I hope everyone is having a great morning! ↑

Ok new number is..........356!!!!! Yeah, it more than doubled. I have to go again on Monday for another draw. CYNDI, GL at your appointment. I'm sure everything will be fine but I completely understand all the apprehension surrounding the u/s. I'm sure I will be a nervous wreck when I get my first on too. FRANCES Happy Anniversary baby.... got you on my mind!!! Remember that song? GL at your appointment too. Glad that the swelling is subsiding a bit. STEF, what can I say other than you are just about there. Hopefully, this weekend labor will kick in on it's own and you won't have to wait to be induced. Hi to everyone else. I get off work in about an hour and I will try and get on later. ALLIE, have a great weekend and I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed for you. ↑
