Addy's arrival date
SO as far as everything went today I will hopefully be holding my little joy Tuesday morning!!! I have to go back in Monday morning at 8 am to give her another look to see how she is doing if she passes all of her tests again, like she did today, She will arrive April 14th!
I didn't like that she only weighed 5lbs 10oz. I was hoping for at least 6, but she is engaged and it was impossible to get a good measurement of her head so she might be a little larger than that. She was 5.4 last Monday so it's been a week and 1/2. So I wasn't happy with only a 6oz. increase.
I'm still having aweful contractions, and they seem to be getting more consistant, today I was only on the monitor 20 min. and I had 3. So he said we can only see how it plays out. He can't schedule the section before Sunday unless I'm in complete active labor, my goal is Tuesday, so bedrest it is for me. I don't wan't any NICU days this time around!
OH and she finally moved her feet out from in front of her face, so I got a couple of pics, Jeremy and my Dr. joked and said it was only b/c she couldn't fit those in my pelvis! I think by the way it feels she is still trying! LOL

yeah tell me about it... i have bought my carseat and stroller that are both names "little pink kisses" and so once i find out for sure i will have to exchange it. i have picked up a bunch of stuff on sale or on clearance and so will have to just pack it up or take it to consignment shop.
the u/s in feb she(the doctor) showed us the 3 lines.... and the u/s tech wednesday tried to point out the boy parts but i didnt really see what she was seeing. i dont know. but hopefully i will be able to find out for SURE next month. am kinda hoping it was the cord but not holding my breath for it. ugh
i have so much going on that it is just not funny. but am glad i am back and can vent a little if needed...lol...by the way where did the 3rd trimester crank forum go??? lmao

joyce- that would be very hard to hear, not like we all woudlnt love them no matter what but you kinda get used to what they tell you. hopefully it was just the cord! keep us posted
joyce- oh no i cant beleive they still cant tell :( must be so frustrating! have you brought many girl clothes etc?
congrats kiki... went to doc appt on wednesday (at 31wks 4days) and baby was head down, was weighing in at 4lb11oz and is looking more like a BOY apparently...ugh... i dont know.. hopefully i will know after my next u/s next month... kinda hoping they were just seeing the umbilical cord, cause i REALLY dont want to take all of the girl stuff back although i did want a boy...my daughter went with me and BAWLED when the tech said it was gonna be ANOTHER boy... my daughter is so tired of being the only girl...lmao
Mommy2B~ Yeah well nerves are starting to kick in today, DH stayed home and has done everything, I've been contracting and I have a bladder infection which has caused SO much back pain, but I think the meds are finally working the pain is now at about a 3, from an at least 8 it was bad, then contractions on top of it....whew!
With nothing else to do, I've been worrying myself sick, I know I'll be 36 weeks, but my last was 36 weeks, and he was still in the NICU, even though it was just minor complications it still S U C K E D seeing him like that, and I don't want her to be away from me for a second! So as much as we wait for this countdown, trust me it's still a little frustrating.

Oh, YAY!! I can't wait to see her... that's awesome... I think we are all a little jealous that you get to meet your little bundle while we all keep cookin' ; )
I am sooo excited for you!!! She is going to be perfect and like the other ladies have said the u/s can be off on the weight. So you never know until you finally get to hold her...I am praying that everything goes smoothly and i can't wait to get to see pictures of the first may baby!
Oh how exciting!!! We'll get to meet Addy in 4 more days!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!! Don't worry about the weight, remember the ultrasound can be off by a couple of pounds. Just take it easy and stay off your feet. Keep us posted and yes please take your laptop to the hospital. We want to see her right away!!!!! :-)
YAY!!!!! Good to hear all is going well and the time has come....You rest and tuesday will be here before you know it...Please take time from the excitement so we can see this beautiful baby! Good Luck, you and the family are in my prayers
Oh that is so exciting, I wish my time would come round quicker!! I wouldn't worry about the weight, lots of women have fullterm babies at that weight, it's still acceptable and she'll get bigger in no time. How long will you be in hospital? Make sure you take your computer, so we can have pics!!
Keisha you must be so freakin excited!! I cant wait to see pics of her,she'll be a cutey forsure!! and you never know maybe she will come out around 6 pounds.
I am so happy for you!!
I am so happy for you!!
I am so happy for you. Literally in tears thinking about how fast the time has gone and what a true blessing this little baby is. Congratulations and good luck with your delivery. I will be praying for you and your little girl. -Amy
