hey girls, how is everybody doing? all is ok with me, minor pains, here and there, waiting for my US and OB appt this coming tuesday.

Rekeers, how are you girl?

Tanya, my back was killing me too, but it went away couple of weeks ago. Maybe it is just your body taking some time to adjust to that babies weight?

Hey guys....

Just an update...I posted a photo of the u/s on my blog and all of the info there from my eventful 25 weeks appt. www.thejourneyforbaby.blogspot.com I just dont want to repeat myself!!! Please take a look. It was a good appt. Long but good. Long and short things are good. I am measuring 38 weeks and babies are 2 lbs each!!!

I dont know girl but my back is still killing me! It really is. I have to wear my back brace or I just end up in tears. I have a wedding to photograph today and I know that by the end of it I will be dying! Lots of weight though....I have gained 24 lbs from pre-preggo until now. Not too bad-doc says right on track.

Hi Wannabe
So glad to see you on here girl. Glad that things are going well for you...

Tania, great weights! I am glad everything is going well for you. Are you still working?

well try to take some breaks, lay down for a lil bit, if you feel your back is starting to kill you. It helped me.

On October 11, 2007 at 3:34 am my little daughter arrived via emergency C-section.
She weighed in at 14 oz and measured 10 3/4 inches .
She had a very rough start to life but after a few hours, G-d helped her tiny body and she is doing amazing. She is peeing and pooping and stretching and kicking, ashtonishing the NICU staff every minute of every day. She is on a resperator with only room air and very low pressure.
Her name is Sarah Chaya which means Living Princess in Hebrew.
Mom is doing fantastic and being discharged today (Sunday) with minimal pain. DH is fine too!
Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Please keep us posted on her progress.

Rikirees - Happy BIRTHday to baby Sarah! I'm glad to hear she is doing so well. Just from what all you have been through, Sarah is bound to be a strong little lady, a fighter. Take care of yourself. Wow, she must seem so small but a little angel from heaven for sure.

Rikirees - Oh my such a wonderful name for a wonderful little princess. A very special Happy Bday to Sarah. Also very happy that you and DH are both doing well. I'm sure she is a fighter just like her mother

Happy Birthday baby Sarah! What a wonderful name for your amazing wonderful baby girl! I am so happy that after her rough start she is doing so well with things! I can only imagine how tiny she must be. Isnt it amazing what the NICU team can do with such a tiny little baby? How wonderful! I am glad to hear that you are doing well. I was worried about you as well and it is so good to hear from you. Thank you for taking the time to chime in! I hope that you are feeling better and better every day.

Hi Ladies,

I hope everyone is doing well. I had my 28 week checkup today and things look good. I passed my Glucose Test but my iron level was a little low so I have to take an iron supplement along with my prenatal vitamin. I have gained 12 lbs so far. I see my OB again in 4 weeks then it will be every 2 weeks until the last month when it will be once a week.

My lower back starts hurting quite often now after minimal activity and I find the heating pad a blessing. I haven't had to resort to any medicine to help with the pain.

Looking forward to new updates from everyone. Take Care!

Christine

So glad that things went well for you at your doc appt. 12 lbs is great! Wow! How awesome is that. I know what you mean about your back hurting. I have such trouble with it. I really do. I try those rice bags and heat them up but it only temporary. I get up and it hurts again. REally stinks but I know I will forget about it when I hold my babies.

Not much going on for me this week. Babies are moving around like crazy and it is so cool. I love it. I watch the baby story every morning and cry like a baby! I am so excited to see what my babies look like. I am so excited to go in on monday for my 3D deal! I cant wait!

Jovigal- How's everything, I remember we cycled together once,a nd here we are now. I was talking to someone yesterday about the journey of IVF and it seems like such a fog now...so very worth it but such a struggle in every aspect.

I have my 25 week U/S tomorrow...I'm so excited about seem her again. the last couple times DH and I had "special time" I had painfull cramping, want to find out about that, we are going to concert on Halloween "Type O Negative" (very hard rock) and want to make sure that's OK, my nose has been bleeding and work is offering flu shots..should I get one???
