Hi girls- Sorry it has been a while since I last posted. My blood pressure has been stable and my 24 hr urine was negative. I had an u/s on Mon. and the baby's kidneys are normal! Whew, what a relief that was. The baby is growing nicely he is about 5 lbs now, I can't believe it. I was a bit nervous ...

Elida- Congrats on the 3 baby girls! That must have been really scary, I pray they are doing well. I know it must be so hard to be home and have them still in the hospital. I was a wreck when I had my daughter and she was jaundice and had to stay in the hospital and I was discharged. That was only f...

Congrats Mo! I am so excited for you. I have about 6 or 7 weeks left to go myself. I can't believe. Sorry to hear about the milk production, but on the bright side you don't have to worry about your baby going hungry. Unfortunately for me when I had my daughter, my milk was not plentiful and I was o...

well girls the dr visit went ok. I have gained about 12 lbs so far. The baby's kidneys are still dilated. I saw a different doc this visit and she told me it was very mild and that it was not much to be concerned with. She also said most cases clear up by birth or shortly after. I didn't really like...

Marina- It's 11:30 pm and I just got home from my shower. It was so much fun. Dh really out did himself. I cannot believe he did all that. Of course it wasn't your everyday shower. It was more like a big never ending party, but it was great. I had so much fun. We got so much stuff, but still need al...

Marina- I wish I could say I have no complaints! Although its all worth it, I have terrible heartburn, I am even still throwing up at night. I actually think I have reflux since I can feel things come back up. My back also hurts but not all the time so its not that bad. And I can't sleep at night be...

Hey Marina- I hope the baby's kidneys look good on Monday too. I didn't even think I was going to have any showers and now I am having 3! My cousin was originally planning a shower for me and dh and her did not agree on things so dh ended up doing his own for the friends and my cousin is doing one f...

Hi girls- I hope everyone is doing well. I can't believe I hit 30 weeks today. Only 8 or 9 weeks left to go before my doc will induce me. This weekend is my baby shower. I am excited but I feel so overwhelmed. The baby's room is still not set up or even painted! After the party I am going to have dh...

That is such a great idea! I remember when I had my dd (who is now 10 1/2 yrs old) the bleeding was so heavy those first few days that when I stood up it felt like a waterfall and I was so disgusted. The depends must be better than feeling like you just leaked everywhere!

Nicole- A few months ago dh decided to tell me about our neighbor's sister who at 8 months pg the baby died because the cord got wrapped around it's neck. I wondered why with all the worrying he knows I do he would tell me something like that. I later realized that it was because it really freaked h...

Nicole- How are you doing? Any more spotting? Hope all is well.

Nicole- Marina is absolutely correct. I bled from 1 week after my transfer and it lasted for a very long time. And yes at times it was bright red with clots! Sometimes it would come and go and others it was consistent. They never really figured out why but it did freak me out too. As long as your ce...

beth- I know with weight the u/s are +/- at least 1 lb. He said the measurment of the actual kidney was normal but he could see that the renal pelvic area was dilated. He also said it could be nothing or could be indication of a blockage in his tubes. He really didn't make a big deal of it and menti...

Ronda- I don't think your crazy for wanting #3. I think if you feel the urge then go for it! Maybe you'll get a boy. As for me I had my appt and sono today. I am a bit freaked out right now. The baby's growth was good (he's already 2.8 lbs) but he said he may have a problem with his kidneys. The kid...

Marina - Sorry to hear about how you were treated. It stinks that she behaved that way but there is not much you can do to change people. I agree with Nicole about not using your mother-in-laws name for a middle name. I am not sure about the name we picked now. Dh seemed to change his mind about usi...
