Hi! Was an uneventful birthday - we decided to postpone dinner to when I feel more confident eating out - I would rather be able to eat exactly what I want (well, not sushi, obviously!) and not worry that I will change my mind before it is served or may be chucking it up later. It is a beautiful weekend. Melissa - Congrats on the good news - sorry about your shelf. A friend of a friend had something odd like that and she had surgery finally and it was fine. KLKW - I am so sorry for your loss. Thta is the biggest slap in the face, because you feel somuch better getting past that first trimester. i can't imagine your pain. My friend was put on bed rest for the last two months of her pregnancy because her son wasn't gaining weight, which is not normal at that point. When he was finally born the doc said - WOW I have never seen this - the cord was wrapped twice arounf his neck. So if they had never seen that, I am sure thta your situation is even more rare. And if being wrapped twice caused him to stop gaining, I would imagine that four times would cut off all nutrition and oxygen. My friend said they told her there was no way to tell this from the scan - that they couldn't see it. I have another friend whose daughter had a textbook perfect pregnancy up until the delivery and the baby was stilborn - some very strange occurence where the amniotic fluid was all gone (they don't know how) and she had a bowel movement, and the baby died in utero. Awful -it is only supposed to happen if you go way past your due date, and she was exactly on time, so it was a shock. I guess what I am getting at is that there are no guarantees, and while most of the time things go well, you unfortunately got dealt one of the awful rare occurances that couldn't be prevented. I wish you well with healing and trying again. B&K - I am so sorry for you. All I can say is get looped and tell dh to drive home. And it may be time for him to see his own doctor just in case. You are still quite young, so don't worry.Dawn- I am not suprised you are looking at careerbuilder.com You haven't seemd happy at work for a while. Good luck with your 2 ww. Coda - tell us how your specialist visit went. I am having numbness and pain in my outer thighs at night sometimes, which is due to the herniated disc. The doc said the good news is it is nothing abnormal, the bad news is it will only get worse. Fun! How are our ladies in waiting - Daniella & Bee? Hopefully Daniella won't be waiting much longer. Okay - the rest of you wonderful ladies, hope all is going well. Talk to you soon.
