Good morning ladies!

I have my monthly clinic visit this morning. I'm a little concerned about weight gain since I haven't done as well with low carb this month as I did last month. Although, I don't feel like I've gained a lot and my appetite has diminished greatly the last few weeks, so I guess I might have a pleasant suprise. I'm going to be surpassing my husband in weight very soon, and I'm not looking foward to the day that happens. Oh well, I guess I can just hope that our son has my husbands metabolism.

Labor vibes to ThininMex, Little bear and Aphexacid!

I guess that's all for now...I'll check back later.

Ames

Stats: Just had a Baby !!
WOE: My own thing.....
Start Date: 3/1/03
Sorry I was MIA since Thurs, busy with work & stressing out during the 7-8 week time frame...... thanks for the compliments on the Marilyn pics!! Warning this is going to be a long one!!

Ames ~ Sorry to here that your shopping trip was not what you wanted, it seems like when you know exactly what you want (and have $$) is when you cant find it, but if you are not looking for something and have $$ you find a ton of stuff!! I love shopping especially at outlets. There is a website with bras that are supposed to be good I will look for the link.

Michelle ~ Kids crack me up, especially when they speak beyond their years. My little sister did/does it ALL the time (she is 11 now) How was the movie?? So neat that hubby got to feel the little one!! There is no such thing as TMI on this board!!

Martha ~ I know its to late but for next time, fajita marinade Tequila, lime juice, vinegar, jalapeños, olive oil, garlic, cilantro, cumin, salt & pepper overnight. Thanks for reminding me about kegels, how many do you think we should be doing everyday?? Boy the last month has not been your month for laundry appliances, bet you cant wait to get back to the US for that reason alone!! Yay on you spa day, you deserve to be pampered!! Your dream cracked me up especially the belly button on the back of the neck...ROFLMAO!!

Dena ~ I have my freak-out moments also. Like Sunday when we where lounging in our bed watching Football & NASCAR most of the day I thought "one the baby is here we probably wont get to do this. We have been together over 10 years so I am used to it being just the 2 of us. You are not alone in your worries!! Are you starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel? When does your first trimester end? mine ends the 31st and I am counting the days, this is the longest that I have ever been PG!!

Sarah ~ I have been SO wanting a massage, we live about 30 min from the Napa/Calistoga Valley. So a little trip to Wine Country would be nice. Hope you got a good nights sleep!!

SmileyAmy ~ I love fall & family traditions. I grew up on a couple acres and we grew our own pumpkins every year. during the summer we would pick the one that we wanted and carve our initials near the top so when October came there would be a "scar" on it with our initials so no one would fight over the biggest one. Don’t stress about the charting, stress isn't good. The OPK should give you plenty of notice as to when you are O'ing. When is AF due??

Darlene ~ Sorry to here about the trials (is that what they call it?) we went to some police K9 ones on Saturday. My husband thinks he is a comedian also, doesn't it just get on you last nerve sometimes!!?? We all cave don’t feel bad!!

Lizzy ~ Loved the belly shot, I am going to try to do my own professional ones when I start showing. Thanks for posting all that!! You are always so full of information, hope you are around as I get further into my pregnancy!! LOL I get migraines that have been flaring up as my hormones & nausea flares so I will have to try it!!

Nicole ~ How awful to have to go through all of that, thank you for sharing all the info with us I am trying to absorb everyone's do's and don'ts so that I will know what to do & what not to do. Hope that you get lots of rest and relaxation, you deserve it!!

Amy ~ Can you post the B&W belly pic?? I would LOVE to see it. Happy late BIRTHDAY!! Glad to here that you had a good day, sorry to here that little man did not want to make an appearance without a nudge, hope that you come back with a WONDERFUL birth story!!

Dierdre ~ Hope that your kitty is OK !!

Shandril ~ How is your friend??

Cynthia ~ Alexia is beautiful, LOVED the pics!! Thanks for sharing!!

Kelley ~ Sounds like we did the same thing this weekend!! I agree that "Plum" is a weird name for the mag. I would send your friend a "Thinking about you" card and just let her know that you are there for her if she needs someone to talk to. I have been on a nectarine kick lately, but peaches sound good too!! Oh and to answer your question I did my own hair and make-up, thanks for asking & the compliment!!

Stacy ~ Cute pics Cassidy is SO adorable!!

Jefinner ~ too funny about your pastor, how many more are you planning on having? My friend has 8 (not Mormon or catholic) OMG I don’t know how she does it!

Meg ~ good luck with the BD'ing & hope you O when you want to!!

Kristen ~ Thanks for sharing the pics you have a beautiful family!!

Ellen ~ David is so sweet, wow he has some hair!! Thanks for sharing!!

Suzanne ~ You are a wealth of information thank you so much!! Glad you found eggplant, hope they put a ton of garlic on it! Guess your little lady & Amy's little man are having a contest to see who can stay in the longest, the little buggers!! Hope you have some progress SOON!!

Christina glad to her that you blood sugar is in line and yay for the exercising, don’t you feel SO good after doing it (which reminds me...LOL)

Hello to Viki, Strawberry, Pauline, GetNSlim and anyone else that I have missed!!

Weekend started good, happy that I was nearing the end of my 2nd month and was looking forward to the 40th Birthday party that was on the 2nd. Party was so-so it was weird being the only sober on there & I ate really bad, but I planed on it. I swear I had a sympathy hang over on Sunday, but I am sure it was just a hormone surge. Was nauseous & fending off a migraine all of Sunday and most of today. And I was a bit stopped up (thank you grape nuts!!) Pretty much finished my website, here is the link www.choffdesigns.com you all are the first to see it and I am still trying to work out some of the bugs. Sorry that my MIL post below is so long, but it felt SO good to vent!!

Have to put in my 2 cents (hell $20, its going to be a long one) about the MIL posting that was going on this weekend. I have the MIL from hell, no joke. First off she gives white trash a new name, I swear if I would have met her before I married my husband I would have hit the hills running!! She fed her 6 month old GD wet catfood because she thought it would be funny and gave all the kids soda in the bottles as babys, so sad that my 8 year old niece is referd to as "yuck mouth" by her classmates. Oh and she let my nephew watch all the "Scary Movies" when he was 8, heck those are borderline pornographic movies! Her and my SIL live together (SIL is 28 has never lived on her own) she has 3 kids by 3 different dad's and is planning on getting her tubel ligation reversed in Mexico (no offence Suzanne) for $1500, but she is an entire story on her own!! My MIL smokes in the house and in the car with my nephew & nieces (6,8 & 10) not to mention she smoked while PG with David. Who spent a month as a baby in the hospital with sever asthma, and she continued to smoke in the home after that. I talked hubby into moving MIL, SIL and the kids out from Texas in 98 to CA before knowing any of this. Because I believed from what she told me that she was being stuck taking care of SIL's kids (found out later that she likes to play the martyr and has enabled her daughter into being a horrible mother) we financed the house in our name with the $20,000 she got on the sale of her home, we put as a down payment (causing us to have to wait 2 years until buying our own home & increased our interest rate) In 2002 they decided they wanted to go back to Texas for $$ reasons witch was fine by me. Was pissed at me because they walked with $80,000 cash, HELLO what investment can you turn 20k into 80k in 4 years!! Oh and they stuck us with the State capital gains taxes (3k) that we where penalized for when we filed our taxes. Have not seen a penny and don’t expect to. Also stuck us with all the utility bills they didn’t pay the last 3 months and didn’t pay the last mortg. payment so we got a 30 day late on our clean credit record. I could keep going all night but you get the picture, I am afraid that she is going to want to fly out when the baby is born, do i have to tell her that i am pregnant?? Cant forget the icing on the cake, almost forgot to mention that she was arrested and put on trial wile PG with my hubby for felony bank robbery...... LOL, no joke!! Want to trade MIL's ?????

Not much new to report here. Actually slept decently but my back is a little sore due to my basset having to sleep with her 4 mangy paws in my back the whole night. Hoping to stay up tonight in order to watch the VP Debate.....we'll see!!

Have a great day everyone!!

Morning Mommies -

Thank god ... the Red Sox play the Angels at 4:00pm EST, so they won't conflict with the Vice Presidential debate tonight! I was getting ready to have dh set up two tv's next to each other (I'm not kidding!).

Gotta go get the kids off to school. Have my 2nd to last OB appointment this morning at 11:30. I'll post after that.

Hope you all have a great morning!

Regards,
LizzyD

Ok, no idea why this got posted on the main board!!!


Morning ladies!!

I have been Mia due to Hurricane Ivan which came right over top of us, then giving birth to my surro-babies on 9/20!

Ivan put me into preterm labor at 32 weeks and the placentas abrupted. So in essence I was bleeding to death and didn't know it. They took the babies via c-section, my first and last. Both the girl and boy weighed 5lbs each!!! I unfortunately had to have 4 blood transfusions and 4 plasma transfusions because I had used up all the clottong factor in my blood.

http://www.gentlebirth.org/archives/dic.html

This explains it a little better.

Anyway all is much better now, the babies are great and their parents, my best friends, are hopelessly in love with them!! The little girl looks just like her Mommy and the little boy, like his Daddy. This will have to be my last pregnancy since the delivery was so scary and the likelihood of a repeat next time is too high. So I'll just help other women become surrogates.

AND we're going to start looking into adoption We've always wanted to and now we feel like God closed the door on our own pregnancy to open the door to adoption! We're so excited!!! So everyone please keep us in your prayers on this as we set out on our search...

On the weight loss front I'm down about 30lbs from delivery...I wonder how much more I can hope for by the 6 week mark, this being only 2 weeks postpartum. I have a 2 week check-up this morning with my OB so I'm hoping that he'll tell me it's ok to start some gentle excercising. I have no frame of reference for a c-section recovery since this is my 6th delivery and first c-section. I'm learning as I go!

Hope everyone is well!

Shenandoah!!! What an amazing story and thank goodness you are okay. 5 pounds!? That is impressive for 32 weeks!! And how neat that each one looks like one of their parents. I'm so glad you are feeling better. For you and your family!!

Hi Chelsea!

Sorry about your mother-in-law. UGH! I am pretty lucky.....I love my MIL.

Funny, we were doing the same thing as you were on Sunday and I was thinking the very same thing. Better get ALL the sleep we can while we can!

Light at the end of the tunnel? Still a little scared. Every time I go to the bathroom and wipe, I close my eyes and psyche myself out and think "No blood, No blood" before I look. Kind of like the "No whammy, No whammy" from the old game show.

How many weeks are you going by for the first trimester? I've seen 12, 13 and 14. I am using 14, and that will be November 2nd - Election Day. These next few weeks are going to be sooooo long.

I will relax a little once I see it on the u/s on November 3rd.

Today would have been the day that I lost the baby the last time, so I can't say it's the longest yet.

Good Morning Gals!

Wow - I am have been MIA as well - DH and I are buying our first home, I am working extra hours because my parents are visiting from NJ this week and I don't want to take vacation time - and we are just busy. I'm not even sure what we are busy doing, it just seems that we run and run...

I am feeling great. I had a small scare last week. I had about 3 weird gushes of fluid (very watery - not like CM), called the dr.'s office, and they asked me to come in immediately. We ended up having an ultrasound, and everything was fine!! The doc did an internal and decided that I was in the first day or two of a yeast infection. I have no symptoms...but apparently they tested the fluid and it was positive for yeast. I didn't care as long as it wasn't amniotic fluid! We got to see the baby for a few seconds - we saw a spine, rib cage, one foot, the left arm, hand, and fingers - it was AMAZING!!!! I can't wait for the 20 week u/s!! We will have our full scan on October 28th - I will be about 20.5 weeks along then. We close on our new house on the 26th. Wow - it will be an eventful week!

AMES - I'm always nervous about my weight gain, then I go to the doc and its never as bad as I think it will be. In fact, this last appt., I said something like, "ugh, I feel huge" and the dr. said, "well you aren't even close to being huge". That made me feel better. This gal at my church gained 85 pounds with her first baby. I'm 17 weeks and I have gained between 10 and 12 (which I consider a lot) - so I guess its all relative. Good luck at your appointment!

Chelsea - You could write a book - or a Lifetime movie!

Desp - I slept well last night too. I woke up about 2am and DH wasn't in bed, so I padded out to the living room and he was fast asleep on the couch!! I didn't question it, and went back to sleep. I asked him this morning why he was out there and he told me that when he came to bed I was lying in the middle and he hated to wake me to push me over because I haven't been sleeping well. What a sweetie!!! Maybe your dog needs to take a hint from my DH!? :-)

GoKackets - I still have my moments of freak out when I feel some weird sensation and run to the bathroom, just *knowing* there will be blood - and there never is. I was on progesterone until the 12 week mark, so I considered myself out of the 1st trimester when I went off the prog., which was the end of the 12th week - so I say I started the 2nd trimester at 13 weeks. Just remember - every single day is a milestone and you will make it!! If its any consolation, I feel like your pregnancy is going quickly - I feel like it was yesterday that you were thinking about testing!! Same thing with MrsSarah - I remember when she was debating whether to test - and it feels like last week!!! You'll be into the 2nd trimester in no time!! Then, if you're like me you'll spend time thinking, "well, I'm not sick anymore, my boobs don't hurt, I don't feel the baby - is something wrong??????" And of course, nothing is wrong, its just the "calm before the storm" (or so I'm told!)

A big hi to everyone who checks in later!! I hope you are sleeping OK, Sarah!!! Thinking of you!! Thinking of the TTCers too!

I'll check back later!

Good morning ladies!!

Ames - Hope all goes well with the dr's appt and that your weight gain is where it should be. I can see that it would be pretty depressing to go above hubby's weight. Luckily my DH is 6'4" and has put on a lot of muscle weight since we got married so he still has about 35 pounds on me. I weigh more than he did when we got married though and I weigh as much as my dad which is pretty disheartening. I just tell myself that I will get it off after the baby is born along with the extra weight I was carrying before I got pregnant.

Chels - I think you win the prize for bad MILs. Your SIL and mine might be related. She has 3 kids. She's married and the last two are by her husband but she's a lousy mother and is always pawning her kids off on my MIL or her MIL. She pretty much only takes care of them when she absolutely has to and my poor 8 year old niece has been forced into being the babysitter for the 2 year old and the baby.

Freaking out & worrying about parenting - I think you guys are really normal!!! I can remember having some of those feelings with DS#1. You'll all be fine. It's been my experience with family and friends that those who worry about such things are good parents. It's the ones who just blithely get pregnant and assume all will be well that usually turn out to be the loser parents.

Jenn - glad everything is okay!!

Shenandoah - What a scary story!!! Glad you and the babies are okay now!!

DS is staying home from school today with a bad headache. He started not feeling well last night. I'm pretty sure that it's allergy related because it's been raining and humid so the mold count is surely way up. I dosed him up with Tylenol and a decongestant and sent him back to bed. DH is having low back pain. I am thinking he pulled or strained a muscle in his back at work but he can't think of anything specific that would have caused it. Since he's a firefighter, his job is very physically demanding and I am guessing that he did it without realizing it. So I suspect that my day will entail taking care of two under the weather men along with working.

Have a great day everyone!!

Hi, girls. Not feeling too well today, so I won't be long. I'll be back later when I feel better. Not sure if it's allergies or what, but I have a headache and feel stuffy. BBL...

CHELSEA – OMGosh!!! You do have the MIL from hell. You’re in CA… She never has to know you’re pregnant, huh?

JENNP – How scary! At least it was just a yeast infection. I’m sure that’s the first time that’s ever been a relief to find that out though.

SHENANDOAH – Wow. What an ordeal you went through! I’m so glad those babies are okay, and 5lbs each at 32 weeks… That’s awesome.

AMES – I feel ya. Although, my hubby is losing as I’m starting to gain. UGH! LOL!

CHRISTINA – Hope DS starts feeling better!

HOLA MICHELLE, LIZZY and DENA!!!

Oh man, are the hormones hitting me. There are times when I want to cry and scream at the same time, but I know I can't (okay, even though I can't seem to control it at times), because of the girls. I just need to go drive off for a little while to do all that. That way only strangers will think I'm crazy!

Hi Ladies!

Just wanted to check in...

Shenandoah ~ That is great that the babies - and you - were okay! You have done a wonderful thing. I don't know many women who could do what you have done. {{{hugs}}}

Chels ~ I just got over AF last week. I bought the OPK and if I am a regular 14 day ovulator, it should be coming up Friday but the test hasn't shown anything yet. So, I will just keep testing and hope that line shows up soon.

Well, got to get back to work!

AGH! Hormones!

I cried on the way home from church because I was HUNGRY and the top of my foot was itching me.

Now, that is ridiculous!

Good morning ladies!

Whew... I'm really stressing here. Last night was a LONG night. I left work 2 hours early because I really wasn't feeling well. So, I went home and laid down and slept for a couple of hours. Then, DH came home from work. So, I got up and went downstairs. He says, "They laid off about 6 people today at work". He was looking to me for support to tell him that everything would be okay, and that his job wasn't on the line. What did I do? I broke down crying. I really think it was a hormonal thing, but I just lost it. I felt so terrible. At the time he was looking to me for support, I let him down.

Anyway... We are thinking that the CEO of his company should address everyone today. I really don't think his job is at risk, but I really don't know that for sure.

I am praying that he doesn't lose his job. I don't know what we will do. We only have 6 weeks until the baby gets here. I know that he could collect unemployment and that we have some money saved, so we would be okay... but the whole thought of this just terrifies me.

So, today, I just feel completely weepy. I think if I let myself, I could break down crying at any moment. I feel really hormonal today.

Ames: Good luck at your clinic appointment today!!

chels: Holy Moly... you do win the "Terrible MIL" award. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that!!

DFL: Oh, I can so relate to your dog story! Our dogs always have their sharp little nails stuck into one of us at night! What is that all about anyway??

Lizzy: Good luck at your appointment!!

Shenendoah: Congratulations!! Five pounds at 32 weeks is great!! I'm so glad that you did okay in labor. That sounds so scary!! I am just in awe of you and your surrogacy. Such a selfless act.

Dena: I said that 13 weeks was the start of the 2nd tri... but who really knows, it's all so confusing!!

JennP: I'm so glad you are okay! I would have been scared too! I'm so glad it wasn't amniotic fluid. And yay on the u/s!! Isn't it just so amazing!!

Dar: Feel better!

Jenn: I'm with ya on the hormones. I feel like a raging idiot!!

Smiley: Morning!!

Sarah ~ {{{hugs}}} I know what it is like to be facing a lay off. I was laid off twice in the matter of 4 months. And DH has faced lay offs before. It is tough, so pregnant or not, I understand the crying. I would cry too. But I am sure your hormones had something to do with it, and I am sure your DH did not take offense you having a minor breakdown.

I hope it all works out. Try not to stress.

Chels ~ I just got a moment to look at your site! It looks great. I love the candid pictures, but my fav is that sweet little chiuawa (sp - definitly wrong) on the "Pets" page. He/she is SO cute! I have this one cat, Chelesa, that I just can NOT get a good picture off. She always blinks, or squints her eyes. Drives me mad...

Ugh! I got on the scale expecting a 4-5 pound gain (which would have been a lot in my book).....and saw a 9 pound gain! Now I weigh the same as my sweetie and have gained nearly 30 pounds since I got pregnant even with all the throwing up in the first trimester. I'm swearing off all bread and sugar now. I didn't think I ate that much of it this past month....it was more junk than the month before but not enough for a 9 pound gain for crying out loud!

Ok, I'm determined to do better this month. I'm only gonna eat when hungry and stay as low carb as possible. I sure hope it works....I can't keep gaining like this.

I think you've done well watching what you eat. You've been very conscious of your diet. I don't think it is a bad thing at all. I know you probably don't feel that way. But, I do believe once your baby is here, that a lot of that weight will come off. You will do a good job. Try not to be too upset about it.
