Hello everyone. There has been a lot going on on this board since I last posted any comments. My goal was to try to log on at least once a week to try and keep up with everyone but I haven't been able to do so. For one I am still experiencing nausea which is such an icky feeling and I am in grad school so that takes up a lot of my time as well. However, when I do log on I try to go back where I left off and read everyone's posts.
babyhope1 I was glad to read that everything is still going well for you. I can't remember if you mentioned it before or not but did you experience any ms during your 1st trimester?
NY Seems like everything is going well for you so far. I pray that everything continues to go well!
to_have_fun I am sorry to read that you have been going through so much in the past few days, with the insurance issue and then finding out about the liver condition. I was happy to see that you're not letting it freak you out though. I hope and pray that the additional test reveal that there isn't a real problem and that everything works out for you. I hope you enjoy your extended weekend!
Gina Great to read that you are feeling great and to see a great update on baby eric. I am happy that all is going well for you!
Karen I was happy to read that the nursery is coming along as planned. I agree that the crib bedding is quite expensive. It seems as though all of the bedding I want for our little girl costs so much, but I'll still end up buying it of course. I think someone on this board mentioned putting it on your registry, and that's the same suggestion my DH cousin gave me. Aside from that, I know what you mean about the baby moving. I get a little worried and nervous too when a day goes by without feeling her move. A friend of mine told me to just lay on my back for a while and that will get her moving. So far that has worked.
pixel That was a good story. Sometimes in life that's what we need. To write all of our troubles down and burn them. I can see how that can help to relieve some stress and make you feel good!
Kas I am glad that your move went well. I can just imagine how good it felt to get in the pool. If I am not mistaken, you all moved back to FL right? I am trying to convince DH to go down to Orlando or Jax for our anniversary in May. He seems to think I'll be pushing it since I will be going into my 7th month then, so we'll see. Oh, I would like to be apart of the photobucket group and post pics. Can I please get the login information?
wonderce I hope all else is well with you aside from the iron problems. I had a problem with my iron in my 2nd month. At that time my OB recommended slowFE but I didn't start taking it. I was taking my prenatals and I just started trying to eat some of the things that were on the list they gave me, that could increase my iron. I should have followed the doctors orders but when they checked my iron level again it was normal and has been ever since.
As for me not much has been going on. As I mentioned earlier, I still suffer with nausea. The last time I went to see my specialist, he advised that he wants me to gain 1lb a week until I deliver and at that time I was 18 weeks. So far I have managed to gain 2lbs since I've seen him and that's been almost 4wks ago so I am trying. Thankfully I am not vomiting (sorry to be so graphic) as much anymore but it's still hard for me to eat 5 or 6 small meals a day but I force myself to eat as much as possible just to make sure my baby is growing as she should. I have also been experiencing pelvic pain. OMG, I thought I was threatening a m/c but my OB said it was just my pelvic bone stretching and the weight of the baby, etc. So she advised me to buy a maternity belt to help alleviate some of the pressure. It helped a little.
We that's it for me. For everyone that I missed, I apologize, but I hope that you are doing well. Take care ladies and have a good weekend.
