O.K. how many people here are pregnant?

genevieve

Awsome pics J Lo!
Annabelle is gettin big!

Meddle,
Glad you are comfy askin questions.
Trust me you will just breath the way you are supposed to.
Everyone is different. And as long as you are taking lotsa deap slow breaths you will do fine.
And dont let anyone yell at you while counting and telling you to push for a certain amount of time. You will push as long as you need to push.
I hate watching shows like "A Baby Story" and seeing the nurses counting at the moms.

Yeah Ive never been shy in discussing this sort of stuff.
All my freinds that had questions couldnt wait to ask me.
Cause they know I would be as descriptive as they wanted.
My best friend(since we were 3yrs old) even asked to see Adria latch.
So I showed her. But I must admit shes one of the few I would let do that.
Otherwise Im game for almost anything.

Hey how are the ladies doin?

PBW had to go to the hospital because she started having contractions early.

Thankfully, the doctors got them to stop. Several factors played into her early contractions.

She became dehydrated because of all her sickness.

We're back on track now...in our 28th week.

It won't be too long before PissBottleBoy arrives.

Well my blood pressure is back on track and if all goes well from now on they may even let me go up to ten days over my due date. My family has a tendancy to go over their due dates, so that will probably happen. I know it is good for the baby to stay in for as long as she needs to, but because there was so much expectation early on that I would probably have to be induced early, these last few weeks are really, really dragging. Actually I was more prepared to have the baby two weeks ago then I am now. Now I feel like I've been pregnant for so long that I can't imagine that she is ever going to be out here in the real world.

Also I was pretty pleased with the three stretch marks I had got up until week 37, but now at week 38 that has multiplied a lot in just one week and I feel like I can actually feel my belly stretching. I'm guessing in three weeks the stretch marks will be pretty bad. Oh well, I don't like showing my belly anyway.

I just want her to be here already. My fiance and I are both getting a bit impatient, but I think it is because we were expecting her to have been here by now, however, unfortunately for our patience, but fortunately for our baby and myself, my health has stayed good. We are now at full term so we could have her at any minute, but as I said my family tends to go over their due dates so I will probably have to wait. Unless of course pre-eclampsia occurs between now and 41 weeks.

I hope all the other pregnancies on here are going well.

PBM, the contractions so early on must have been scary. Luckily your baby is at the stage where he should be able to survive if he has to be born now, but I will be praying for you that he stays in until at least 36 weeks. Do these early contrations mean that she is likely to have more early contractions in the future, or were they considered a one off event? Good luck to you, your wife and your baby.

PBM,
So glad PBW is doing ok. That must have been so scary and stressful.
Keep us updated on how things are going.

pacifier,
I understand the stretchmark thing.
Ive got tonns. I was doomed. Im super prone to them.

Ive never actually heard someone be happy to get to go overdue!
But really anytime now would probably be ok. Im sure you are excited.

We are doing well. Adria has tried green beans and peas this week.
She doesnt seem terribly excited about either of them.
Some days she still doest want her pablum.
Im not being too pushy. If she eats it fine, but if she doesnt I dont care.

She also tried her Jolly Jumper for the first time the other day.
I will post some pics soon.
She didnt really jump the first time but she will get the hang of it.

Man, they change so fast.

Thanks for your advice girl. I really need to do some relaxation exercises that my midwife told me about. i am thinking of making a PJ/neil finn mix cds for my delivery. Nothing calms me down like PJ and Neil Finn

Today, I went to go see my midwife, and I got adminstered my Rh (Rhogram) Negative shot, so my blood won't produce antibodies. It still hurts even after 8 hours :( I also got educated on where exactly my baby parts are located! She is getting ready to move into postition Now if we can get a bigger apt. by the end of the month, everything would be peachy!

I listened to PJ and A Perfect Circle the whole time in delivery.
Everyone in my prenatal group was like "Oh great Im gonna have music blaring in the room next to me if Im in the same time as you!"
And in some of the after pics at the hosp Im wearing my red Mookie shirt.

I got the best birthday present this week. Jack now says Dada. I also got XBox 360, dinner at the best steakhouse on Long Island, and the Mets knocked out.

genevieve

Awww.
So exciting.
The steak dinner sounds pretty good too.

genevieve

OK
I went shopping yesterday.
Bad move.
Feel gross.
Am returning everything on the weekend.
This trucker belly sucks with these stupid low rise jeans and long shirts.

grrrrrrr....

Not to mention these XL boobs are now too XL to fit into an XL shirt.

Quiet Rhythm

Aww...Adria is growing so quickly, I cant believe how long she is.

genevieve

Shes definatley getting big!

We printed all of the pictures weve taken so far since she was born.
What a difference from her newborn photos till now.
I cant belive that she will be 6mos on the 8th.
And in another 6mos she will be toddling around and talking.

PissBottleMan
