Hellobee Boards

Thanks, all! To top it off, I am sick and accidentally got a substitute and went to a training 20 min away that was actually yesterday . I am all kinds of out of it. Luckily, my school was really nice about it.

@QBbride: That does give me some peace. I can't remember that they are called but she said it has to do with how quickly his heart rate can rise and fall. Am I even close, haha?

To be honest, I think I am struggling a bit with believing this could really be real and something isn't going to happen. I know most of you know this but losses can really mess with your head.

@MamaCate: Fingers crossed you get this house!

@fuzzypeaches: I've somehow managed to gain almost 20 pounds now, even feeling this way! I think I gained more with DS1 by now, so that's good at least!

@Mrs. Pickles: My newborn slept well, so I am totally not used to this! I start work (at my desk) by 6am, so I am totally crabby today lol. I can not work under these conditions! haha

@simplyfelicity: Hugs. I still feel this way. I struggle with believing it's real and that he's going to be ok. It's hard.

@Candy_nee: How fun! I can't wait to see this baby from the outside!

@Tidybee: @ValentineMommy: I hate that we feel this way but, somehow, feel better knowing I am not alone.

Checking in. 27 weeks. It's a BOY (found out at cake reveal on easter. ) head is down. And I go in for my fasting glucose test next week. I'm up 25 pounds which is the same total gain I had with my first. But then I loat 35 pounds after birth eventually so I guess it makes sense that I gain more to get to a similar state.

I went in for my glucose test yesterday afternoon. They told me not to fast but to avoid carbs and sugar so I ate eggs for breakfast and some cheese slices mid-morning. How long does it typically take to get results?

@cvbee: Congratulations!!!

@Bluemasonjar: I got the results the next day. My MW said the same thing. I had peanut butter on toast, milk and a hard boiled egg. I passed.

@simplyfelicity: I have been such a worry wart. Especially after the surgery. Over analyzing if he is moving less. I swear I feel like a tug or a pressure around my belly button and I'm always convinced he is wrapping the cord around himself. I read an article about a baby that needed a limb amputated because of having the cord too tightly wrapped around that limb. Worrying about everything.. Don't even get me started on autism. DH is always so great when I bring up my paranoia. He just says. He is our son and we love him. Whatever happens, happens. Which puts my crazy hypothetical situations in check.

@QBbride: @Bluemasonjar: it was disgusting! I'm going to stalk my blood results online tomorrow

@Candy_nee: I love when that happens! also when I eat too much ice cream!

@simplyfelicity: @Reese: I think it's totally natural to feel that way... but think of it as just the beginning of all the worrying you will have to do I've been like this too! For some reason I am worried about spina bifida. I have no idea why, I think one of my friends' babies had a sacral dimple and i've been thinking about it ever since!

@ValentineMommy: ugh. I think I'm more like 25lbs :s (i.e. 5 more lbs than at DS delivery! gah)

@cvbee: congrats on your baby boy! how did the reveal go??

@QBbride: oh no!! did you have GD with your LO? I'll cross my fingers for your two hour! I can't believe you have to drink that stuff again blech

I didn't think it would be ready yet but you inspired me to check and I passed! Phew! But my Hb is still abysmal (89!)

As for me, like I said above, had my glucose test yesterday at 26 weeks. They just said no call=good news. So I assume if I don't get a call today, I passed. Also checked my iron and blood clotting, to make sure the blood thinners aren't thinning me out too much.

Didn't think I'd see the doc yesterday, since I had gone in for the cramps and stuff on April 1, but I did. It was short but we did take a look at bub. He was in a much better position this time for picture taking! I am totally in love, and I think he is just the cutest thing already! I really want July to come now!

@fuzzypeaches: @MamaCate: thanks So far no one has given us any pricing other than one night in hospital is $1,500.
But, I emailed my doctor last night (not the one who was mean last week, my actual doctor) and she replied at 5am with a lovely, detailed response. She gave several options and is going to find out about them all and get back to me. She said she would be happy to see me at OHIP rates ($35) a visit but the hospital charges a visit rate of $350 each time, which she is going yo ask her boss if we can waive. So OHIP rates are $35 and I have been charged $60-80 each time. That shows you how much they amp up the rates if you don't have OHIP, which is disgusting. Thank goodness my doctor is an actual human being!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: what a perfect little picture! Such a cutie!

@fuzzypeaches: I just talked to someone who had the and number as me and she passed the 2-hour test. So fingers crossed!!!

@Reese: I'm right there with you.. I feel like this time around I'm much more worrisome about every little thing.

Like my friend said one day at a time

@QBbride: here's to hoping your 2 hour is successful!!!!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: He's beautiful! @QBbride: Oh no, hope you pass the 2 hour!
@fuzzypeaches: You are are probably right. You only gained 20 lbs total with your DS?!

@simplyfelicity: You're definitely not alone

@cvbee: Congrats!!

@QBbride: oh no!!! At least your next step is the 2 hour and not the 3 hour....but that stinks!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: I totally feel you....I definitely feel kicks in my, ahem, lady bits. It seriously feels like he's going to poke out of there sometimes. He better not! lol those are GREAT pics! What a little sweetheart!!!

@fuzzypeaches: damn - only 20 pounds?!? I gained almost 50 (and had a 9 pound baby). I'm hoping not to have a repeat of that weight gain lol

@ValentineMommy: it totally does suck, I hope you get some rest soon. This time hasn't bothered me as much as with my first pregnancy though. These days as long as I am lying still with my eyes closed and no one crawling all over me then I'm happy

@simplyfelicity: Hugs to you! It is so hard to have the loss carried with you and come out in different ways throughout the pregnancy, isn't it?

@TheSwissWifeStyle: what a cutie pie! so glad things are looking good!

@QBbride: sorry about your results! i know there are lots of false positives for the 1 hour so hopefully you can get through the 2 hour and be cleared!

@ValentineMommy: yes to the insomnia! night before last i swear i was awake most of 3-5:30 am and then just gave up and got up to work out. i know some of it is stress but still, it's ridiculous! hope you get some sleep soon--i wish i had some advice!

@MamaCate: congrats on the accepted offer!

Just reading up on everyone's progress. Can't believe we are on the down-hill slope! Some of us only have 10 weeks to go! Crazy!

I did my Glucose test on Tuesday see the OB tomorrow and hope to get the results. I hope I pass the 1 hour. I didn't with LO#1 and had to do the 3 hour which was awful!

Anyone else experiencing a lot of pain in the lady region? Like the feeling of riding a bike for a really long time. Some days it hurts so bad I can hardly walk. I'm going to talk to OB tomorrow about it.

Anyone lock in their names? We have the first name but are stuck on the middle name.
