Claudia - Thanks on the good wishes for tomorrow. I am sure everything will go smoothly. Can't wait to see a new belly pic.
Emerald - Can't wait for your test resuls. Hoping for awesome news there! Thank you for the compliment on the poem. I just thought of what I would want to hear had it been me, and had it happened to me I would want to know my baby was ok. I am not a religious person (more spiritual) but I know so many are so I channeled religion to write it. Even though I wrote it, I cried the whole time and tear up each other time I read it just because of everything so many of you have been through. Not to mention my own loss, but they were already born. Still, the poem works for either situation.
Gi - YAY for an awesome scan! Though afer the weekend with Karen, when I read the word "passed" my heart sank for that split second. So relieved when I completed the sentence. lol What a horrible experience with the dog! That must have been so frightful! I would have called the police and make the owner pay for the animal hospital for my injured dog. I am sure that 14 year old has parents, how awful. At least everyone is ok, especially you and baby Kayla.
Babyluv - Yes Alex's court date is tomorrow. We are very excited it will finally be done. It's taken months to get this far. As for your braxton hicks, I called labor and delivery (the best on call nurses for random questions) and told them about me having BH too. I was 15 weeks when I got my first one. They said BH doesn't make cervical changes and not to worry unless I am having 4 or more an hour and if they are painful. I am always told to drink lots of water no matter how much I drink. I think her telling you to drink more water when you drink so much is rediculous. lol I mean, all you need is 4 bottles of water a day, you drink 2 gallons?? WOW! I have to force the 4 bottles down me.
I just don't drink much I guess, but I am still going to the bathroom all the time. I bet your trips are so much more frequent with all that water.
Ronda - So glad you pooped in... missed you bunches! Hope you are doing well.
Franca - Still elated for you! Hope the m/s doesn't grab too tight of a hold for you. I only got nausous, but I found that eating a little something more often helped me.
Katie - Can't wait to see your Ryan bump. hehe! Don't worry about the registry, many of us still have plenty of time so no rush. That's funny you have Chris running around on his week off. The honey do list must be getting bigger the closer you get to 3rd tri. Not sure if my dad's wife bought the dressers or not, she said she was but I have no way to be certain unless she tells me they shipped. lol As for the crib, still on the registry so that is a no. She said she was getting it all though and it should be here by the time of the shower. I have plans to show off the nursery that day so I am hoping she gets her ass in gear and does what she promised. lol We had plans to buy the crib this past weekend but didn't because she said no, she is. So now I am getting impatient. Me and my planning ahead... I always need so much notice and plan for every possible outcome. It's good, but a curse when I get impatient. lol I know what you mean about the BRU being sneaky! That's why I chose to order things online. The store's furniture was SO expensive. Nothing under 350 for one crib?? Really, 350 is the lowest you have? And that was an ugly ass crib too!
That's also why I got the second registry, so much cheaper that BRU but BRU still has a few things I want. You will notice though how small it is in comparrison. Not to mention BRU is pissing me off (registry wise) because shit keeps popping off as not available online anymore. The store is over an hour away... no one is going to drive all the way out there to get any of those items. Grrr!!
AFM - Well, had the appt with the perinatologist today. It only took 2 hours this time. lol We had to have been in the worst possible room to do it this time because the screen was just crap. My cell phone has better resolution than that screen. They didn't take the disk this time so we got printed out pictures that were even worse than the screen. Seriously people?? I can't post a single picture it is that bad. The best picture we have is of little Ethan's junk. lol Not one picture of faces, or thumb sucking, nothing like that, just private parts and who knows what else because you just can't tell. Andrew took video with his palm so I posted that on youtube, I will give you the links so you can see. Warning, very hard to see. lol You can kind of hear the doctor telling you what everything is, but still not good resolution. On Ethan's video at the end, you can see his sister's feet kind of kicking him in the head. lol He is head down and she is feet down.
So on to the technical stuff, both babies are doing very well. Both are measuring about a week ahead and weigh 1.5lbs each. The previa is still there but they aren't telling me if it is worse, doc still has hopes that it might move. However, I remember how it covered during my last OB visit and it looked like it was growing the wrong way. You would think they would measure how far it is over the cervix and see if it has gotten better or worse but nope. They just check if it is there or not since that is all that matters in the end. Not sure how my cervix is looking. Doc mentioned something about it being short, but I guess it isn't in the danger zone, still makes me nervous. He was in such a rush this time that I didn't get to ask all my questions.
He said that I am in a safe range to deliver now if for some reason the previa started to bleed and bleed. Huh? After what just happened to Karen, I don't think so. I am so hoping they stay in there as long as they can. Well, my OB wants them out at 35 weeks regardless to make sure that I don't hemorhage, but they are saying that can happen at any time now. Now both docs concur, no play time.
Oh well, best for babies. It just sucks that I have such a healthy drive that seems to be getting even healthier the farther along I get... now that's just mother nature being cruel isn't it?? Oh and Andrew, him being so proud of his boy... they stopped the screen right over Ethan's junk and said, Yeah, anything you want to say about that papa? (It looked huge on the screen) Andrew kept his mouth shut then, but later he told me that his boy is taking after him.
Men and their toolboxes. lol
Ok, so here are the videos...
