How long now Thorz? Sending pink vibes!
Three days til mine. Not that I'm counting... Much.. I've been looking up boys names so I've got something I can relate to if it goes that way. I remember last time I had a boys name I'd been in love with for ages, and somehow it helped being able to think of him with a name straight away, gave him a personality. I'm trying not to think about my girls name list..
10 more hours! I'm not going to be able to sleep. It's 10:30 pm here and I'm usually about to fall asleep but I'm not tired at all! So my appt is at 8:30 am my time, but after I need to pick ds2 up and take him to a play date, I'll try to get back to you guys before then!
Thorz -- I hope you get some great nub shots! By the way, when I was looking for elective scan places, there are two in Columbus that have a spring special now for the quick peek gender determination. $65. Maybe if you book it now for a few weeks from now, you'd still get the special? ;)

So I just had to deal with this so for the first time also!! I haven't had to deal with it before pregnant or not so I didn't know what to do either. I think I waited to long for laxatives and stool softeners to work. I think I got dehydrated and so everything came to a halt and I was in pain and it was making me sick (vomiting) and so I was getting more dehydrated. Anyway, the ONLY thing that worked for me was fleet. I seriously thought I was going to end up in the ER if I couldn't get things moving and that stuff worked and it worked right away. I tried fiber, water, magnesium citrate, stool softeners, walking, etc. and I was only getting worse. Good luck to you cause I know it sucks!! Since I got things moving I have made sure I am drinking enough water and I am taking a small amount of Calcium/magnesium/citrate to keep things moving.Quote:

We didn't do any elective scans with DS1 or DS2 and now I wish we would have (and I don't spend money on much). Those images/video you will have for the rest of your life. I know it seems hard to believe cause I know how it is to be a stay to home Mom and completely broke just hoping that one day you will be able to breath easy when it comes to money, but one day soon you will be able to buy new things and not shop and thrift stores and clip coupons because you want to not because you have to. I totally understand where you are coming from though!! Good luck tomorrow!!Quote:

Oh no!! :( Fingers crossed it was just something he ate and not a viral gastro. If he's stopped vomiting by tomorrow morning you could take him in with you. I gather hubby isn't able to help?
Oh no Thorz... hopefully he is better by the morning and can go with you!! Looks like you are in for a long night:(
