Good morning and have a great day !!!

Up until this morning all the movement I felt was pretty low. Halfway between my pelvic bone and my belly button. But when I woke up this morning she was kicking me about 2" to the left and 2" above my belly button. Kind of freaked me out because I didn't really expect it that high. She made sure I knew it it was her cause she did it like 4 times in a row. Then I thought...hmmmmm since this is when they get the biggest fastest it won't be long until I will be getting kicked in the ribs

I went to the doctor yesterday, he said I am dilated to 2 and he is putting me in this Thursday. Yeah!!! I am so excited! We have to be at the hospital a 5:30 am, hopefully everything will go smoothly and I won't have to wait all day on him to show his little face..

I can't help but be a little nervous, it's been 7 years since I've had a little baby to take care of. I hope it all comes back to me like second nature..

I hope everyone is doing well, I know Nanakay is getting close as well...

Heh, thanks for asking about me. I'm doing fine, i've started to feel a little bit of pressure down near my pubic area. Baby isn't moving around much anymore, but is still kicking here and there. We started the nursery yesturday and we were only able to get the change table done, my mom and dad will be up at my place tonight to help finish of the rest of it. I'm now 35 weeks today,and go for my next Dr's Appointment on Jan 7/05 he will do my first internal exam to see how things are going. I'm thinking that i may be starting to dialate but not sure, he said to me at my last appointment that the yucky feeling i've been having down there was probably my cervix thinning out. How are you doing? Have you started on the Nursery yet? Have you heard from MMG? I've been asking about her, but she hasn't been on to respond.

Glad to hear from you.  I have also been feeling kinda yucky down there and its kinda been a little annoying because I am not sure if this excess discharge is normal. I go on Thursday for my 34 week check up and then I will be going weekly for my internals also.  My last day of work in 1/14 and I have started a countdown already.  



Regarding the nursery, we decided to do 2 walls in 1 color and the other 2 in another (like a box) and DH started and finished the first 2 walls.  With Christmas and all he hasn't had a chance to finish it but we will hopefully be picking up my crib and stuff next week so I kinda have been on his case.  I still haven't had my baby shower and I think its this weekend (if you remember, my mom, sister and DH have been trying to surprise me but I am closing in on em :-0)



About the baby moving, I have read in all my books that as you get closer to your due date, the baby movements tend to minimize because they start to position themselves for delivery.  My little one is still very active and the only problem I am feeling now is sleeping at night.

I won't be having my baby shower until after the baby is born, so it's probably going to be awhile. I still haven't decided when my last day of work is going to be, i'm thinking probably right around the same time as you though. I'm leaving that one up to the Dr when in go in and see him on the 7th, If he tells me i have to go off sooner then that so be it. Are you still getting BH? I'm starting to feel myself getting really tired, how about you?

I know exactly what you mean about being tired.  I find myself trying to hold my head up at work.  I am usually trying to get to bed early but I just have been feeling so exhausted lately.   My waddling has also gone to a slower pace and I find myself catching my breath a little more than before.  I occasionally will feel BH for a few minutes then it goes away.

Nanakay- How was your Christmas? Has the baby gotten your eviction notice yet? How are you feeling?

i tried to give this child it's eviction notice on sunday....we went for a ride on the 'old highway' but this child is obviously my child and is already stubborn and wouldn't take my hint.



well monday i have a massage appointment and i'll just tell her to NOT avoid the feet. hahaha

Well i hope that when you go for your massage that it sends you into labor, when is your next Dr appointment? I can't believe you only have 13 days till your Due date, I have 5 weeks to go still and find that i'm not ready yet. I bet i'll be changing my mind though the farther along i get, how far along were you before you changed your mind on that?

by kerstyn51293, Dec 28, 2004 12:00AM
I am concerned with my hcg levels, even though my RE is not. I did in vitro and had my first blood drawn on christmas eve and it was 25. I went and had it done again 4 days later and it is like 147. I know it is doubling but it is low. the doctor said it is more than doubling so I am good. Then why cant i just believe him? I know he keeps telling me its not the numbers but how they double and then i read someone who has really high levels on the first test but i am just now 4 weeks along so maybe the very first test was early so it was okay to be in the 20's. ANyone have this low and do okay?

I have a question about feeding my 11 month old!  He is eating solids.  I have bean soup that we made from the Christmas ham bone.  If I put that in the blender is it ok for him to eat?  Will the beans give him diarea or just gas?

with my son i didn't work and so i had almost everything done and ready for him about a month before he got here.....however we bought a new house about 2 months before he got here and in my nesting decided to change the color of the trim in the kitchen....about 3 weeks before he was due. that made me feel a little behind.



with this one i still feel like i have a ton of things to do, and yet i am SOOOOOOO ready to not be pregnant anymore.

however we missed the 27th so i figure i might as well wait until my OB comes back from vacation, my next appointment is on the 5th the day she gets back from vacation.

I am feeling ok just itred as usual. Christmas was great now I am just trying to get everything put away and the house back in order. I need to take the tree down so we can get started on the baby's room. I can't beleive you only have 5 weeks left. I remember when you got your BFP. Then again I can't beleive I am 19 weeks already so I guess it all is going by in a blurr.

I know that my levels were really low in the beginning too.  I think the first one was 24.  I agree with your RE, as long as they are doubling try to relax.  I am now 24 weeks 3 days.
