Hi Everyone! I've been having sharp pains too. I actually had a horrble sharp pain that woke me up in the middle of the night last night. I'm glad I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. Baby Kayden has been kicking me like mad too. The movements feel different now, more like he's rolling around or something. I don't know.
My due date is July 8. I wish it comes a bit sooner!

Anya- how are you feeling now? I feel little light headed when stand for a long time. You should call and let your MW know if that continues. I haven't set up baby's room yet. Baby will be in our room for atleast 4 months :). May be in that time I will set up the room.
By the way is anyone experiencing pain in the lower abdomen? I am having this sharp pain little towards the right side of lower abdomen. I get this pain when I walk, stand and when baby moves. It's painful. You think the baby's position has changed? I have an u/s and appointment tomorrow morning. I will let the doctor know.
Anya-My due date is July 8th.

Now its our turn, who will be next I wonder?!!!
Can everyone tell me when they are due again?
ZUZ -
Eternidad -
Maria-
Anya - July 5th
Eternidad and Maria - yeah guys you are right, I usually don't like to panic but last time she didn't move for the whole day!! I drank juice and what not, and she wouldn't respond...
My MW is not concerned because stress test went good...as far as BH, they say that the body is preparing but to call them if 5 in an hour..honestly, I would say I have 5 in an hour some hours....but usually they go away ..also they became more intense and even a little painful sometimes...
I still have 5 more weeks to go...the baby's room is coming together.
Oh, do you guys ge this sometimes? Maybe once in 2 hours, I get this heart beat rush and I feel a bit weak and need to lay down....it goes away after 15-20 minutes..I wonder what could that be?!!

Hi Joyce glad to hear everything went went and your boy is just beautiful, what a great weight and size.
thank you ladies... he is just one light of my life, and is a generally happy baby, he just doesnt like to sleep through the night, he rather stay up all night eating...lol
i am home... i posted a couple pics .. everything went very smoothly. he is a joy, perfect in every way. Daniel Joseph was 8lb 8oz and 19 3/4 inches long... well they said he was gonna be a big baby....lol
Anya I agree with Eternidad, the space is getting smaller for the baby as she is getting bigger. When you feel no moments or less movements, have little juice or any carb and relax and you will her. Sometimes we are so involved in things that we may not notice the movements. Don't worry your princess is fine. What did MW say after seeing the stress chart?
BH is very common. I read that that is the way your body is preparing you for delivery. Unless it's not the labor pains you need not worry. What did your MW have to say about this?

Anya- I think is pretty normal that the baby at times does not move, I know is scary but I think bc they are getting older they are sleeping a little bit more. Mine one does that at times. but then later it moves like crazy.
so I went to have another non stress test done yesterday at the hospital.....my baby decided to scare me again with stop moving....grrr....she is moving but soooo weakly!! Does anyone else experiencing that?! its horrible. its been 2 days, stress test is all good, but why is she moving SO MUCH less now? barely kicking and only really once in a while..
I will do that too! I just have no idea when it'll finally be done! Thank God Kayden will be in my room for 3 months! :)
Hey girls,
I will email you my info today as well :)
Its so funny, eternidad is Maria and Maria is Mary :)
So I have another scare, my baby stopped kicking me last night, no movements at night nor today morning.....shoot, I hate when that happens, I become a nervous paranoic!!!! I didn't call the doc, she does ocasional kicks but not like usual, so I am waiting for her to move again very soon!! I also feel that she switched the sides and I hope that she is not in a breech position!
I am having next doc's appt next Wed when they will do a strep B test. I also have LOTS of BH....
Maybe already 7 this morning....makes me a little nervous too..The MW will check for my dialation next week and I guess after that they won't check for that until I am 40 weeks....weird, huh? No more u/s for me or anything...
as far as for the exercise that MW suggested...hm....its to streach your perenail (SP>??) area, or in normal language, a hole. I ve tried to do it once and damn it is painful, so I have to start doing it again but scared.... the streching should be 10 min every day to avoid many tears...
I got bassinet from one of my friends, and its adorable. Once the room is set up ( we still need to pick up many things, put the curtains and get the bedding and mattress), I will take a pic and send it to you guys!
You all should do the same!!!

Hi Maria! Thanks for the advice. I'm not taking anything. I just can't. After everything we've all gone thru, the last thing I want to do is take medicine and hurt baby!
We ended up getting the Munire Bristol in Cherry. We got the crib, the armoire, and the dresser. My sister in law is buying Kayden his bassinett. I found a cute Eddie Bauer one at Target. So I'm pretty much set! Thank God!

Hello Girls!!
Sorry I have been away for few days. Here is my update..Yesterday I had doctor's appointment in the morning and doctors night and tour in the evening. So it was a busy day. Doctor's appointment went on well, as usual they checked BP, weight and did the non stress test. I have gained 2 pounds in a week...Nurse said that was alright as I had not gained any weight since I got to know I have GD. But still worries me what if the baby is big. Babies heart rate is fine and my belly is measuring fine(he didn't say how much). When I was put on heart rate monitor, my little one had hiccups..hahaha..how cute that was...I have a scheduled u/s on June 2nd to check baby's weight. Hospital tour went fine, I got little scared when they showed the deliver room. Honestly, I am little scary now. My OB was there too and he talked the different type f births..etc. There was pediatrician and anesthetic doctor too. Now we am pretty much aware as what to expect. My hubby had lots of questions to those doctors.
I will be having a traditional baby shower on 13th.
Eternidad- How is your back pain? You need to rest more. Back pain is very common during pregnancy, try to sit with pillows. Its a very good idea of sharing our personal email information. I will send it to you all. Its amazing how we have stayed together as a family and I smile every time I think about us.
Anya- How are you feeling now? Best remedy is to drink hot water and your cold is gone. Take care. That's what I did and I was fine very soon. Nice to hear that you had a baby shower at work. I have to buy a bassinet, I will be keeping the bassinet next to my bed for at least few months, until the baby is ready for the crib.
Zuz- Don't take an medication when you can control it naturally. As I told Anya, just drink hot water.. keep sipping like you drink hot tea or coffee. I know its hard, but you will do anything for your little one.. :). I mentioned in my previous post about the furniture we ordered. We got the Munire Madison in Cognac. We will be getting it delivered on June 11th. What color is your furniture set?
Joyce- Today is the big day. Take care.

Hello Ladies! How are you all doing? I'm doing pretty good, just trying to get used to my new aches and pains. I started having these little pains down really low recently. They don't last long. I called the doctor today and he told me that its probably the baby's head pushing on the pelvic floor. I just know it hurts. He said that he thinks everything is fine but still wants an u/s next week. So we'll see.
Anya, that's nice that you had a baby shower at work. How nice of them! I'm still putting items on my registry and figuring out what I really need! Did you get a bassinett already?
Eternidad, thank you! You're so sweet! I really am trying to keep things as normal as possible for him. Obviously, its not so easy but he's doing ok. His mom is coming here from FL tomorrow for the MI memorial. That should be good for both of them too.
Joyce, I can't believe tomorrow is the big day! I'm so happy for you!
I hope dreamgirl is well and has had her beautiful babys! Just imagine, she's felt everything two times more than we all have! God bless her!

I love balloons! I got a diaper trash can, changing pad cover ( I still need to purchase a changing pad itself), sterilizer, bottles....good stuff!!! :)

Hi All. How are you doing?
Joyce, you're so lucky! I can't wait to see pics of your little angel!
Anya, I'm sorry you were sick. It sux! I've been very stuffy lately due to allergies. My doc told me that I could take a benadryl but no way! I can't! I haven't taken any meds except for Tums if you want to count those.
My hubby and I are doing ok. I'm trying to keep his mind off things but its hard. We both have our moments when reality hits and we just get so sad over whats happened. I can't wait for Kayden (our little man!) to come into the world because I think his birth will make his daddy so happy and he won't have a choice. I think God had this all planned out very well. :)

Hello girls!
Sorry I haven't been here for a while, I caught a cold and was pretty sick since Thurday. Still sick today but feel a little better. My weekend sucked because all I did was trying to get sleep and with stuffy noise its almost impossible, plus I am not taking any medications...
My appt went good on Thursday, all she did is measure my stomach and it was right on target so I hope my baby is gaining all the weight she needs. I have been very tired lately...I will not have any more of the u/s, and on my next appt next Wednesday ( will be 35.4 weeks), I will have the Strep B test done and also a vaginal exam where they will see if I am dialating at all.. that would be the only time they will do it before 40 weeks.weird but they said it doesn't matter if you start to dialate now...
Joyce- CONGRATS, you are so going to meet your son in a day, right?! AWESOME!
I can't wait another almost 6 weeks!!
Maria - I also get the pains and BH are stronger now. I feel the baby every day and I feel her feet kicking me rather hard :)
I am planning on delivering vaginally and planning to have epi as late as possible. meaning, I will go through as much hell as possible before asking for drugs....Also, I won't lie, I am getting pretty scared....
My MW gave me this instruction for exercise to strech the "hole" before the delivery so that it wont tear as bad..girls, I tried to do it once, but DAMN it hurts! So I have no idea how painful it will be when it tears......I hate this exercise and Im so scared with all the breathing and pushing parts...closer I get , more scared I get....I wish I could just meet my little one! with no agony and pain attached to it!
Eternidad - awesome you had your baby shower!!! I would say that only 4 things are gone from my registry and I have them, the rest are still there and I don't think that anyone is going to get much for me anymore...oh well :) I will have a work baby shower tomorrow so that's all i know :) Hold on there, we are getting closer!
I guess Dream-Girl has delivered? I wish we can hear something from her...
ZUZ- Im glad that you are getting positive emotions that your hubby returned!! Please fill your hear with more positivity even though it is extremely hard to do in this situation...your baby needs your smile!
Don't worry about your doc, I hate when they are panicing...your baby is perfect!!

Hi Everyone. Hope you're all well! I'm doing ok. We had a nice day with my family. It helped take y hubby's mind off things for a while. We met with the priest today to finalize the details for my father in laws memorial on Fri. That was tough but I think it'll be nice.
Anyway, on a good note, I started my registry. I still have a long way to go but at least I've started. The days are getting harder and harder since I'm not sleeing very well and I've been having more backaches lately and feeling out of breath more frequently. The new thing is waking up in the middle of the night with numb hands and feet!!! Oh well, its all for a good cause!
Eternidad, I don't know how you're going to make it till the end of June with a job like yours! I am such a wimp! I know I'd be done sooner than that. Please take care of yourself and make sure you're not over doing it.
I have an u/s scheduled next week to check baby's growth. God willing, things are still good. I know his kicks are getting stronger and stronger every day so thats a good sign.
