Due Sept/Oct/Nov 2017 (5)

Nann I hope everything is ok with the baby and keep us posted.

AFM I'll be 24 weeks tomorrow and I'm having the worst round ligament pain or maybe it's gas. The right side of my stomach is killing me! I have an dr appointment tomorrow so I'll be sure to ask about it.

I've started buying a few things for him and I've crocheted two blankets and a newborn beanie for him. I still want to crochet two cocoons, a car seat cover, a pair of pants, some booties, and a couple more beanies so all that's on my to do list. I'll post some pics of his blankets when I get home.

How's everyone doing?

Wow ahorn - that is a crazy amount of crocheting to me! GL. Can't wait to see pic.

Nann - sorry you are going through this. I hope and pray that your lo is safe and things stay as they are. And where are you hiding that baby bump???? You look so tiny!!!! WOW.

AFM - I had my scan yesterday and baby is looking good and measuring a week ahead. And the amniotic fluid levels were on the higher side of normal. The only concern is that the abdominal cavity was on the larger side. I suspect that I will fail my GD test in the coming weeks. As that is most of the time a sign of GD. My bile acid levels for the ICP was actually lower, so I am not sure what is going on with all of this crazy itching. But I am happy that the numbers are not in a dangerous level. The u/s tech was super nice and was not bothered that we had 3 of the boys with us. The littles had appointments earlier, so had to be with us and the 6yo was feeling left out and really wanted to see the baby. The tech knew we did not want to find out gender so she did a great job of keeping away from that area. She was funny and told us to look away as she did the bladder measurements and noticed I was still looking, so she did not give any clues away! Stinker. And she already knew what we were having because it is in our record. Have a wonderful day and I will post pics tomorrow as I forgot them at home and I am now at work, but we got some 3D pics that we have never had before. It was awesome.

Oh and I have not done ANYTHING to prep for this baby. No clothing prep, no shopping, no names list! Oh my. I am running out of time. I had better start. :omg:

Omg same!!! I have like 4 outfits and one box of diapers that's IT... the crib is in our hallway with no mattress and the spare room that's supposed to be the nursery is a catch all currently for our bathroom remodel!! [emoji24] I have no hospital bag packed and I'm panicking especially if I end up having an early baby!

Oh and we have no bathtub or shower cuz of the remodel! [emoji33]

Oh no, Nann3r! I hope it can be finished soon! Try and not feel overwhelmed- do what you can to be ready now- like get your bag packed and pick up a few more items for the baby. The crib will be a breeze to set up once the remodel is done.

(((Hugs)))

Xx, I am checking in every once in a while to be here for you when you meet your little girl for the first time!! You are so close!

Thanks Burakoam! We are super excited! I've developed a Zulily obsession and have amassed lots of cute clothes- new and hand-me-downs from a family friend who had her boy after 3 girls.

How are your girls doing?

You can do some things ahead of time to reduce your risk no matter what baby it is. I have had 6, no hemorrhages, but I really concentrate on things to do to not.

(Organic alfalfa capsules, good iron store levels, good quality pregnancy tea daily (a quart of it), keeping baby on/with me, etc).
