THought I would update over here too. Had my ultrasound yesterday and everything looks good!! Doctor said the baby looks healthy, and we are just waiting on some screening blood work to come back. I hope that comes back looking good too.
I kept my eyes closed for most of the scan so I wouldn't see anything by accident. I am still team green! (But I still feel like it is a girl :( )
Lola: It is a supplement that has 5 herbs in it (can not remember which ones off hand) and they all help tone and exercise the uterus for birth. I think there is something like it called "gentle birth". It has helped with the last 2 pregnancies, so I plan to keep it up :) Even after this baby I will still have to check in on you, can't wait to see how things go for you.
We have been so busy the past couple of days. DD1 is doing standardized testing this week and 2 of the other children had dental cleanings today. I am trying to get them all in before June. I only have one left and one of the children needs a small filling. I also had a appt with my midwife today, everything is great. I did lose 3 pds, but I think it has to do with the yuck we had last week, I have one more 2 week appt and then it starts with every week.....ahhhh.
I am going to go make some bread to go with my fresh butter...mmmmm.
Glad all looks good Hobber!!!
Thank you!!Quote:

32 weeks tomorrow. i have been told anyday now since i was 24 weeks, i was preparing for a micropreemie. goes to show sometimes doctors are wrong ladies. i feel very lucky. i could not have said goodbye to another child. i can't deliver here in town until 35 weeks so thats my new goal. can i make it 3 more weeks at 5cm and a bulging bag of water?
I hope he hangs in there for 3 more weeks!! You have done so well hon...congrats to you!! xoxoxox
You can do it, girlmom!! Baby Michael, you are grounded for 3 weeks!! :rofl:
of course you can girlmom you are doing fantastic!
Girlmom: You made it past 25 wks, you can make it just 3 more wks. What a success story you are!!! I love to hear your update.
Hobber: I guess I am really busy. Most people are just as busy as we are, but it is with sports and activities. Yes, I made the butter, but really it is very simple to do and taste sooo creamy and good. I may not crave any sweets this time, but bread and protein are my friend.
no ttc update???
yes you can do it! best of luck hope you are blessed with a big healthy baby boy xxQuote:

omg 5 don't be scared it's a boy ! lol i just posted about it on ttc blue thread :p
Sure i will have a scan everyone has one lol
I was also thinking about girlmom and how hard this must be for her. She is like a hero! I also have 4 girls here and zero help I have no idea how would I do it.
I know she said her sister and mom is around but they wont help how rude is that?!
I just hope she make it safe to the hospital when is time. I would help if I would be around her!
Can't wait to see your boy pics 5:)
YOU CAN DO IT! If you've come this far, you can do 3 more weeks! We are all so proud of you!Quote:

WP, how do you make the butter? Do you have a churn or do you do it in a mixer or something?
thanks girls, yea im still pregnant. im kinda hoping it just ends soon. i hate this feeling i have. im so scared i won't make it to the hospital on time. im scared my hubby wil be at work and it takes me about half an hour to contact him. im scared the girls will be at school and someone will have to pick them up. i have 30 min labors after my water breaks and right now i have a bulging bag, no way i will ever make it to the big hospital with the nicu. plus this feeling like he's going to fall out all day. he's just sitting on whats left of my cervix and thats not much. i feel like such a crappy mother for not hanging in there like everyone else, i feel even worse for secretly hoping he comes out soon. i hate this guilty feeling i have. i had a 4th of july birth at a birthing center all planned out too, now i just want do something stupid like go for a walk or play outside with my girls. i hate bedrest.
Girlmom I am sorry it is so rough for you. Just remember that every day you hang in there and stick in the bed is a day he is getting bigger. You can look up footprints online, see footprints from preemies and term babies. My cousin said looking at how tiny the preemie feet were really helped her to stay in bed and eat what she needed go when she was on bed rest.
Can you get some books to read with your girls in bed? Or watch special videos with them? Play a board game? Something to feel like you're doing a great job mothering them! You are awesome for helping your LO grow healthy and strong.
As for DH, does he have a cell phone? Or can you get him to pick up a prepaid one he can always have with him under the circumstances?
Are you having nurse check-ins via phone or any monitoring? My cousin's doctor ordered this for her, too, and she found it very comforting to know the nurse was monitoring everything and she (my cousin) could call anytime she was concerned. I think the device she used was called a HUAM but I don't remember what it stands for... It monitored for contractions though, so she and her nurse KNEW when she needed to get to the hospital ASAP. She used it at set times every day.
girlmom-I also got my preemie in a hospital with no nicu because there was no time to go anywhere else. But they all have incubators and they took my baby next day up to a very good hospital and there she even needed to have breathing tube to help her.
I think if she would needed tubes in at birth they would have take her right away.
So don't worry if you don't make it to that hospital they will take the baby for sure.
But lets hope he will not need any of this.
girlmom: I agree with Skrimpy, everyday counts. You have a ton of good reasons that you just want to get this all over with, but he will be coming soon. How often are they monitoring you? I thought you were still in the hospital. So, you are back at home on bedrest. You are a wonderful mother, a lot of women would have geiven up weeks ago. I am sure you daughters understand that you bedrest is not permanent. Before long this whole situation will be over and things will start to go back to normal. Big Hugs.
Lola: I make my butter in a blender, it is sweet cream butter. You can use a churn, but you have to leave the milk at room temp+ for it to culture and we don't really like the cultured/sour taste. MMMMM love fresh butter.
TTC5: what a big day, can't wait to see some pics.
I had a ton of HB conx yesterday. I started to pack my bags just incase. I still am no where near ready, but I did take the bags out of the closet :) And put the baby book in one.
Do you ladies have a check list for your hospital bag or do you just wing it?
What do you bring for the baby?
I normally have a list and I need to get it going.
I bring 2 outfits, 2 onesies, 2 recieving blankets, a car seat, the camera, extra camera batteries, my cellphone and charger, some chapstick, a book to read, a baby name book if needed, and maybe some snacks for DH.
i go in once a week and trust me i look forward to my doc apps. just so i can get out of the house. i get shots, meds, i get a cervix check once a week, i get hooked up for nonstress tests to see how baby is taking all these meds. then they put these things around my lower legs which are suppose to keep me from getting blood clots.
now im getting gestational dibetes because i can't move and i just lay around like a big fat slug all day. so now i have to prick my finger 5 times a day and write down everything i eat. i just really hope i won't have to do insulin. i don't think i can stab myself with needles.
Ok ladies 2.5 hrs to go. I dreamt I was late for my appointment haha.
Big hugs girlmom...pregnancy can suck ass sometimes but you are doing so well...keep the little guy cooking for a while longer!! xoxoxoxox
Getting in early 5...

thanks very much Flava!! :heart: It still sinking in! I gotta pull myself together soon so when I see my relatives next and they ask about the scan I won't burst out crying with joy and I need to prepare myself to say "I don't know what the sex is!" with a straight face! :rofl:Quote:
