Hi all. Just a quick post as I am waiting to go see OB. I started spotting this morning (which is not normal for me) and I am also cramping. Scared to death because for the last week or so, I have not FELT pregnant. I am praying my baby is ok.

Ronda,

I REALLY hope that today you get to see your baby moving around and the heartbeat. That is so scary. Is the spotting red? How bad is the cramping??

Keep us updated!

Oh God Ronda what is happening? Did you lift anything heavy or do anything different? Maybe it's just a scare... let us know as soon as you know something ok. I am very anxious to know what is happening. Do you have a droppler? You could hear your bb's HB? Hang in there girl.

Ronda - I'll be praying for you and checking all day hoping that the spotting and cramping is due to something minor, maybe you did too much physically? or slight dehydration? I've had many weeks that I didnt "feel" pg so I'm hoping that doesnt mean anything. Hugs!!!

Malya & Natakia - You'll be in our thoughts and I hope that you both find the stength to try again when you're ready. - xoxo

Gi - Oh, I love both names! Kalya and Joshua!! I just cannot wait until you find out!!

Angela - I'm with you, I mean i'm super scared of the dentist in the first place, but to go now? No way! Thank God I've always had perfect teeth, but why take a chance with xrays now? unless you're in pain I think it can wait.

Steph - Oh no honey! food poisoning is awful when you're not pg, I can only imagine how bad it must feel when you are pg - and with twins no less! I'm sure the babies are just fine, but if poking them makes you relax more - then poke away! Umm, maybe no more Army BBQ's for awhile? :wink:

Hazel - I'm hoping that your Dad's biopsy went alright and that you had better news than was expected - xoxo

Claudia - I'm sorry about your dog's seizure. It is so hard to watch them age. Its not fair that they pass so early. I mean why does say a parrot live 70 years and man's best friend say 15? I hope that it can be controlled by meds. And i see that you are still sporting the world's cutest bump! Are you really not going to find out the gender? Good for you. I simply couldnt take the suspense - I had to know!

Karen - i'm sorry that you'll be on bed rest for so long. I know that cant be easy. I thought the 3 days of bed rest after ET was torture. But you will get through it and I pray that the cerclage does the trick. Prayers for you and those babies. Are they definitely 2 girls? I didnt update the list because I wasnt sure if it was definite. Take it easy, girl - xoxo

Helene - Hooray for getting the house settled, i'll bet that wasnt easy with the schedule that you have. I'm cofused a little? your DH has taken a 2nd apt?

AFM - we had a busy weekend, and boy was it hot! I'm so glad to see that its supposed to be gorgeous this week (the nasty humidity finally broke) and in the 70's yay! Oh, wait that means I finally have to get that back deck painted. I'll go very slow and if it takes me a week? who cares? has anyone had bad ankle ans instep swelling? The book says its worse in hot weather and I've just had it for like 3 days straight, althought they look normal this morning - whew!

hugs & prayers to us all - xoxo

Katie - yes anckels swelling is normal during pregnancy and it will go away after delivery. When I am pg I have to wear size 10 shoes imagine.

And yes we normally always have a second place kinda of a get away but now that the house sold we needed another get away :) It's not far this time though so it will be much easier and not to have his son with us with help with the rooms we have. His son is great, like he never complains and is never in your way but he is a bit messy and dirty (not that I am not messy :) but other then doing NOTHING to help around the house at 18 he is great. Not into drugs, still going to school and the funniest thing is that he had prescription drugs for bi-polar and he decided NOT to take them anymore and that for a while now and I didn't even know. And he lost so much weight and looks great now. He was so fat before but what I don't understand is that he doesn't have tamper tantrum anymore? How can that be? I mean when he was younger if he was NOT in his meds he would like go under anyone's desk at school in some random class he didn't belong to and just bark like a dog or do really stupid stuff (brain problem)... and now he is ok??? I didn't think that healed itself?? I guess it's good though!

Katie - I am feeling better though my gut tends to twist from time to time. No need to worry about BBQ's since the FRG is going away for the summer and likely some people are quitting after this last one. lol It was a nice thought but boy was it a mess! Also... going to stay away from mayo from now on just to be safe. :( I love it on burgers and chicken sandwhiches but oh well... ketchup is safer. lol How are you feeling? Has the nose issues cleared up? I have had some swelling though not too bad in the ankle area. My legs to the hyper-color thing when you touch them though so I do have that. If I am on my feet longer I swell in my ankles and feet. I think I am just going to go ahead and be a lazy bum this pregnancy. Everytime I do what people tell me is too much I get scared.

Ronda - NOOO!!! Oh god no! I was just posting when it came back to me and showed your update. This is just horrible and so damn unfair! I am so sorry for your loss. I hope everything goes as well as can be tomorrow and you don't have the same scare as Malya with the bleeding. Take it easy, grieve and come back when you can and let us know how you are doing. We are still here for you to support you in any way we can, even if it is a long distance shoulder to cry on! :cry: :cry: :cry:

Claudia - Such a pretty bump. :) I haven't weighed myself but maybe I should. I feel fine now except for a little gut cramping like I have to go. I have been doing well with drinking lots of water. I basically try to chug each bottle. lol

Helene - Bet it feels good to get some things done. Your DS is so cute with the book. I bet that would make you smile each time no matter what is going on around you. Glad other DS got to recite his lines so you could show how proud you are of him. That must have been special for him to have his own personal audience! :)

Karen - Posted to you in the other thread but glad you feel good about your decision. Just keep taking it easy and check back often and let us know you are ok! :) Did they find out genders for sure yet? I know they were saying g/g but you wanted a double or triple opinion?

Babyluv - How was your appt? Hope the SCH is finally gone away so you can relax. Genders would be great to know, hopefully they can tell! How exciting.

Natasha - How did your b/w go? You should know when your u/s is now! Something to look forward to! :)

Angela - I was at the ER for chest pains 3 days after transfer and they wanted an x-ray. They promised me it would cause no harm if I were pregnant. Then I went just to be warned by the tech. She said the chances are small but if it were her she wouldn't do it and said the doc should never have promised me anything because he can't! So I didn't get it done and I am glad I didn't because just a two days later I got my faint line of a POAS. Same with the dentists, they can't say your baby won't be harmed because they don't know. Chances might be slim, but those are chances people like us don't want to take! I am sure you will find someone willing to help you at least do a cleaning. If you need fillings it will have to wait and gum treatment... well they can't do much for you while pg for that. I am sure all of us even with the healthiest of gums still have some bleeding because of pg. I know I do!

AFM - As you know I am always worried about feeling babies move, one does and the other doesn't and they like to take turns making me worry about the other. Well, yesterday I thought I was feeling a little flat. Andrew tried to reassure me or basically shut me up by telling me I did lose a few pounds and I was laying down. lol Later last night the babies must have decided to show me they were fine because my stomach was jumping all over the place. For about an hour they were moving in there so much I could feel it outside!! Andrew tried to catch it but at this stage it is hit and miss and he kept missing. lol Not to mention being a mechanic, his fingers have been burned so many times that he lost a lot of feeling in them. Anyway... they were moving so much I could feel my belly move and I think if I were looking down I could have seen it too. This morning little man was kicking again and sure enough when I put my hand there, I felt it. Now just to get the timing right for Andrew until the kicks get stronger. I hope they keep up the nice strong kicks and kick nice and often. :) He really needs to feel it, he worries too and I know that would make him feel so much better. Not much else going on, I am feeling ok but my gut is still giving me grief a few times a day, mostly after I eat. Oh.. I was told yesterday by my neighbor that she wants to throw me a shower! She wanted it to be a surprise but realized she has no way to get invites out without me. lol It feels really special that someone wants to help like that. I was thinking I would have to throw myself one. :) So she is planning it for the first week of August which means that I will be 26 or 27 wks. I am just hoping for no complications!

Well glad you are now feeling babies a lot and dh too that feels so much better doesn't it :) Just a few more weeks and you will be all our of trouble and no more worries. The baby shower is great you will get a few things you need way to go girl. Funny how it happened one day when I was pg with DD (the 5 yo one) I told my neighbourgh that I wish I had a shower for her and so they did one for me also... that was too cool :) Have fun!

Rhonda I am so, so sorry. Please know you are in my prayers.

Mayla, Natakia and Lou - If any of you are still reading, please know I think about you all constantly and praying for you as well.

Karen - hope your surgery went well...please let us know when you feel up to it!

Katie - Good for taking it easy and for better weather. It will be in the 90's here all week, WITH rain, meaning miserable humidity. I have lots of indoor activities planned.

Claudia - looking good girl! Love the updates!

Steph - SOO awesome to feel the babies moving! I sometimes think, "Oh, was that something?" but haven't had that AH HA! moment yet.

AFM - Had a great u/s this morning. Baby A was moving all over the place, legs crossed, umbilical cord between the legs, so there was no finding out there. I still think it's a boy, and swore I saw something, but I guess it could have been the cord. Baby also had it's hand between it's legs, so I'm REALLY thinking boy now :wink: Baby B was super cooperative and it looks like we'll be having at least one little GIRL! And I totally thought B was a girl! So now to just see if I was right about A...

The best news of the day is they both look great, are growing about as perfectly as they could (both slightly ahead and almost exactly the same size), and the SCH is about 1/4 of it's original size. I was hoping it would be gone, but since I've still had some spotting (when I wipe first thing in the morning and then usually nothing the rest of the day), I knew it would still be there. My OB is very happy with everything.

I am going back next week for some blood work, and they are making me an appt with a high risk doctor. I think that will be in three weeks. I go back in 4 to my regular OB for a checkup, but I am thinking all of my u/s from now on will be with my high risk specialist.
