Pregnancy Info HOME

HAHA pebbles! I burst out laughing when I read the title of this. Reminds me of when I told my boss I "got knocked up" and it was like 4 days after I had just gotten hired haha. Alright.... it's 1:15 am I CAN NOT GO TO BED EARLY ANYMORE. Well i never went to bed early but usually at midnight I'd MAKE myself go to sleep, that was the cut off, but now it's around 1 am. HORRIBLE!!!

So Rob let me sleep in today. I slept in about an hour and a half while he took her. I can not even believe the mess I found when I woke up and let him go back to bed. I was like you have to be kidding me! it's not even worth it to sleep in! He must have let her have a bowl of... it looked like some dry Chex cereal and some Cheerioes I think. They were crushed and ALL OVER the living room, my jaw dropped when I came in the room haha. Thank god this area rug in our living room is machine washable because she spilt milk on it and it's beyond vacuuming or sweeping right now. I seriously should have taken a picture so I could have shown you guys haha but of course I went right into mom mode and had to clean it up.

LOVE the new thread title! Seriously, people are getting pregnant left and right. I think anyone who wants to be pregnant should just show up on June Babies thread - it's in the air or something:) I would LOVE to get knocked up but will probably have to hold off until Ben finds a job. Even though I understand that we can't afford to have another baby right now, I am secretly hoping that it happens. Things have a way of working out. So even if I got pregnant now, I know that somehow it'll all work out. Forgot to answer on the previous thread - I am 34 and Nick was born June 20th (due date was June 16th). He goes to sleep at 7:15-7:30 and is up around 6 (somedays 7, other days 5). He does take one 1-2 hour nap a day. My little guy is almost ready to leave the nursery and go to the next group in day care - they started training him to sleep on the matt, not in the crib and he goes to the next group for a short time every day just to get used to. He does real well with slipping on the matt. I almost cried then they told me - my little guy is growing too fast!

Irina- Aww, our little ones are growing up so fast!!!

PEBBLES- we did get her all of the accessories with the cottage. The only things we didn't get were the food sets. We did get her the birthday party set. Funny title for this thread! haha! Good question! IMP- I, too, have found that it is useless to sleep in or go anywhere for that matter. Every time I sleep in or go somewhere, when I get back the house looks like a tornado went through it. And, most of it is Chris's SH** laying around. He feels free to lay anything anywhere when I'm not there to tell him to put it away. Just like the kids! GOOD NEWS - I had to take Connor to the doctor this morning (not the good news!) he has an upper respiratory infection and has to go on zyrtec every day, an antibiotic and start breathing treatments - AGAIN! His cough just got worse and worse. The good note is...I went to Target to pick up the prescriptions and they put all their little kids clothes on clearance. I got sooooo many cute things for Samantha - sweaters, dresses, tops, shoes. Not that she needed it, but who can pass up clothes that are adorable for $2 to $5!? Crazy!

Jo's top 2 teeth have popped through! Well, hardly, but they're there. You can hardly feel them, so they aren't very far out but I can feel they are there. So it won't be long until I can feel an actual little pointy tooth, probably in a couple of days or so! YAY! 2 down now we just need to get those 2 on the bottom. Then she has all 4 back molars but those haven't even started so I'm not even thinking about them. MOMTBC- I know what you mean! I love Target so much, that's awesome that they had so much on sale!

GURINSA- Blogger isn't letting me comment on your posts =( When I click to submit my comment the image with the letters and numbers that I have to type in doesn't show up so I don't know what to type in to have the comment go through. Anyway, LOVE the picture of her in the glasses hahaha and the one of her sitting in the cart at the grocery store. She is so cute!

Tomorrow... tomorrow I get to go to Fargo ALL BY MYSELF! I swear I have not done anything by myself for EVER! I love being at home.. love it.. (even more in the summer) but I do miss a little time by myself. I have a purse party but am leaving early and going to Sams Club, Kohls, the mall.. THE MALL!!!!!!! and Target.. Sooo excited! Not really planning on buying much... but going to check out Target for deals and I have a gift card at Kohls.. Childrens palace in the mall for clearance stuff.. and some thrift stores for maternity stuff. Going to buy some bella bands and try to use my own shorts and pants though... save some money. Imp.. great to sleep in.. not so great to wake up to that.. but I think most of us women know what you are talking about. Irinaz.. I feel the same way as you... I don't know how we will afford this new baby but I know we will figure it out. We had a $250 unexpected bill this month and so far I am able to stay on budget... I just think how nice it would have been if I didn't have that bill.. Oh well. Momtbc.. so is Samantha loving the cottage. Jenna will play with it.. but not loving it like I thought... She would rather play with a tape measure or her doll stroller or write.. she loves to have paper and a pen or pencil.. I got a box of chocolates at Walmart on clearance and after me and hubby got into them... (I eat half and then try a different one) she was quiet and here she is on the kitchen table eating the last one... MMMMM she says! STinker. She is a climber! Imp... Jenna's tops and bottom canines are coming through.. I can actually see them. I had to get another bottle of teeth tabs. Irinaz. wait until you have more kids... the time flys by even faster!

Pebbles - That is so cute with her eating the last one!! I made pizza last night and was feeding Alexea some of mine, we were watching a movie. She leans in right ot the edge of the plate and just with her mouth takes a bite of my pizza crust! She also does the Mmm.. Yum Yum! Still having one rotten time with Jaidyn. I didn't give him any medicine today and though his bad times were still the same, his good moments were completely different. He was like a different baby and did a small giggle for hte first time! I guess the meds were drugging him but not helping with the problem. Oh I just found out Disneyland is doing a military thing. Its either free admission or you pay one adult price for all of us!! Oh I will find a way to go : )!

haha that's so cute Britt, Jo says "mmm it's so gooood!" That's so cool about Disney, that's such a good deal!

Wow, interesting night for me. I rented a doppler for a couple of months and it came yesterday so I decided to lay on the couch and try it out...well could not get the heartbeat at first but Brooke flipped out. She started crying and had the most concerned look on her face, she would cover her face and so uh-oh and cry...so I put it up and calmed her down. I waited 30 min and tried it again and was able to get the heartbeat but she got just as upset so I put it in my room because she would just point to it and cry. For the rest of the evening she was super clingy and kept checking my tummy saying uh-oh mommy.....broke my heart......now here is the weird part...I gave her a bath and put her to bed and then went to get in the shower...get undressed and noticed that I had spotted more than I ever have. It was a reddish brown spotting and the second I saw I started cramping...I cramped for the rest of the night but I checked the heartbeat this morning and evereything was fine but it sure was weird to me that I have not spotted since last friday and then it happened last night after she got so upset......Pebbs, I went to target yesterday and did not like anything they had in the maternity section. I actually found some really cute things at wal-mart online and they will ship to the store for free....that is the only places I have checked so far.....Britt, Disneyland will be fun I bet, never been but have been to Disneyworld every year for the last years except when I was pregnant with Brooke...we love it. Brooke's bathroom and playroom is in Disney.

JENDEAN- When they did your u/s did they find any pockets of blood between the baby's sac and the uterine wall? I forget what it was called, but I had it with both Connor and Samantha. The doctors told me I would either spot or bleed until the baby had grown enough to force all the blood out of the pocket. I wish I could remember what it was called! I will look it up and let you know. Good luck! None of the kids liked anything that touched my belly when I was pregnant. Everything freaked them out. Brooke is probably worried that it is hurting you. Does she have one of the fisher price doctor kits? We bought one for Taylor and she brought it along to every doctor visit she had to go to with me. She would pull out all the instruments the doctor was using - blood pressure cuff, stethescope, etc. It worked for her! Good luck!

Found it! It was called a subchorionic hematoma or subchorionic hemmorhage. Basically, it is a pocket of blood that gets squished out as the baby grows. Mine both were almost completely dissolved by the 20 week u/s

haha! love the new title!! jendean..scary about the spotting but glad you had the doppler handy! imp..not sure whats up with blogger! it wouldn't let me comment yesterday either? britt..love disneyworld/land! hope u get to go! momtb..I can't believe more sickies in your house - sorry to hear that!! pebbles..hope you are feeling good! irinaz..they have been training kaitlyn on the cots too! they would have put her in the toddler room by now but its full so we have to wait until this summer! she's the old woman in the infant room!!!

Jendeen.. so the spotting is normal for you.. that is soo stressful though.. Yuck! I will have to check out walmarts stuff online. Planning on buying some bella bands and using my own clothes and stuff as much as possible. I sold EVERYTHING to do with maternity, babies, etc last year at our garage sale... so like starting all over... but being at home it should be easier. Are you feeling soo tired. I don't remember being this exhausted. I don't think it helps that it is soo damn cold. has not gotten above 20 in the last month or so... HATE IT. I am NEVER warm.. never! I need sun and warmth.. I have been tanning to get ready for our trip. I read up on it and doc said as long as I stay cool should be ok. Don't want to burn in Mexico.. Britt.. .Disney.. fun. I can't wait to go in2010.. we would never do it ourselfs but inlaws are paying for whole family to go on 3 day cruise and 4 days at disney!!!! My mom will watch the baby... we will bring Jackson and Jenna. They tried talking us out of bringing Jenna but she will be almost 3... why wouldn't she enjoy it. She will have to be in daycare on the ship if we want some alone time because she is not old enough for the activities like Jackson... but that is ok.. We will have 4 days in Disney first... I will enjoy a little alone time on the ship. Well, sitting on the couch wrapped up on a blanket, Jenna is playing with doll house, Jackson playing Wii (which is breaking my 4pm wii rule but just not up to trying to do activities today) . Purse party in Fargo this afternoon.. just hoping I can perk up and fake that I feel good and want to be there! Have to... its $$!

Yeah, I agree with Kristen, like I said to you on myspace Jen, there was probably just way too many unfamiliar things going on and she just didn't know what to think of it. She probably thought something was wrong with you so it upset it. Well Jo has been weird today as well.... you all know by now that she wakes up early in the morning, comes in our bed and has her sippy then goes back to sleep with us. Well she'll wake up anywhere from 5:30-7:30 for her sippy but about 90% of the time it's arond 6:30ish but the latest she's ever woken up was like 7:45.... well today... she didn't wake up till 9 for her sippy! That is absolutely UNHEARD of for her. At 8 I went in to check on her, I just poked my head in and saw she was fine so I was like I'm going back to bed! haha it was great. Then... usually once she has milk it really fills her up and she won't want to eat for awhile so since she had it at 9 I was like she's really not gonna wanna eat anything this morning. But right after her cup she kept asking me for an apple and finally I gave her one and she just sat there and ate the whole thing. I was amazed, it's so unusual for her to eat RIGHT after she had milk. PEBBLES- Good luck at the purse party! Hope you get lots of customers! What's your 4pm Wii rule? that I can't go on till 4pm? I'm really trying to not have the TV on all day today.
