Hellobee Boards

@Alivoo01: @.twist.: time goes by way to fast!!! before we know it, it'll be august! if we do pick 8/1 for the date, that means i have just under 14 weeks left....OH.MY.GOD!

@delight: Oh! Thanks for the tip! Totally going over to their site and signing up. I'm all about free stuff too shoo!

@sarbear: 14 weeks?!?!?! (O_O) I can almost count that on my hands - OMG!!!!!

@JamieLee: yikes that must have been scary for you! I'm glad everything is ok and the rest of your pregnancy is uneventful!

@StrawberryBee: Is your 3D ultrasound tomorrow? Can't wait to hear how it goes!!

@greenebee: Glad your appointment went well! That's crazy that they moved your EDD up a whole week!

@delight: Glad you got the OB you wanted! I read the same thing this morning about the soccer ball. My DH loves soccer, so he thought that was pretty cool And that BRU goody bag is wayyyy better than the one I got!! I

@Grace: Haha!! I love that pic!!

@JamieLee: Yikes! That is scary! Glad everything is alright and that baby is doing well!

@.twist.: You can be diagnosed with GD before 24 weeks if something comes up in your bloodwork or urine samples. I don't know why the standard is 24-28 weeks, though. Also, I think a lot of women with GD don't have any symptoms at all, which is pretty scary!

I am getting so bad at replying, why is it so hard!!?

@sarbear: OMG 14 weeks? Wow that puts it into major perspective!!

@skipper2010: He isn't saying too much, if they become more regular or I get more than the few I'm having daily then I need to come in to have an internal and make sure I'm not progressing. I have the same OB as I did with my last pregnancy so he knows my history. I had my labor stopped with magnesium sulfate at 28 weeks last time. I told him I'm laying low and not saying much yet, I don't want a repeat and he shook his finger at me. They seem to only happen at night in bed, so I'm not in pain during the day! No bedrest!

@Grace: No bedrest, thankfully! I would be happy with a "normal" pregnancy, but I have to have an irritable uterus, lol.

@JamieLee: Yes I'm happy to have the extra monitoring! That must’ve been so scary, I’m so glad everything turned out ok. I have noticed an extra “damp” feeling too

@.twist.: I was joking with my hubby that maybe the third time will be the charm and I'll go into labor on my own (and on time and progress) but he doubts it I'll probably be induced after my due date again, lol

@delight: OOhhh I don't recall getting all of that when we registered with our LO, just samples. You did good
I remember being very tired and icky feeling after drinking the glucola last time, I think it's a system overload on sugar. Hope it goes away!

ugh, sorry for the delay, work has been killer lately.

@redsmarties: @Alivoo01: @.twist.: @lawbee11: @delight: @Mrs D: @Grace: Thanks on your liking of the paper poofs!! I bought them, just had to fluff them out.

@Alivoo01: Hoping for good news on your uncle.

@skipper2010: my glucose test is scheduled for next Wednesday. And I am not liking your reports of being tired afterwards, because I have some crappy 6 hour training to attend at work that doesn't apply to what I do. Blah!

@JamieLee: you poor thing, glad to hear everything was okay! *hugs* and @.twist.: thank goodness I'm not the only one with leakage!

@delight: aww, no fair, you got way more swag than I did!

@lawbee11: It is, and I can't WAIT! squee!

We set up the crib and mattress! I want to put up the poofs and the Dumbledore quote and maybe I'll take some pics of the nursery coming together :).

Also: If the screen color is accurate, I think I may have found my glider chair:

@StrawberryBee: Yay! What time is the u/s?? Ours isn't for 3 more weeks...I can't wait!!

@delight: Oh, I'm sorry you don't feel well. I don't want to worry you, but I felt like crap all day yesterday after my test too... and I "failed" it. So hopefully you get better results.

@StrawberryBee: ahh, the sage color seems much more practical. I didn't see that color however, so I can't speak to the color accuracy.

@Sapphiresun: Boooo. I'm sorry you didn't pass. Does that mean you have to do the 3 hr one? Or was that the one you just did?

@Grace: I did the two hour fasting. I don't think we do the 1 hour screening here, and just go straight to the two hour which is considered fairly definitive I think. I've been referred to a diabetes clinic to attend a class on gestational diabetes and then I'm not sure where they go from there.

@JamieLee: Sorry for your scare - so glad all is well!

@sarbear: ok - I cant handle the 14 week talk - thats makes me SO overwhelmed!!!

@StrawberryBee: cant wait to see the progress!! I am going to try my hand at some poms with left over tissue I have in the basement!!!

I think instead of cleaning for nesting I bake...this morning I made blueberry crumb cake and lemon yogurt cake! I am planning strawberry cupcakes for tomorrow...apparently I am in a fruit kind of mood! Heading over to my dads for a long walk on the trail with my pupper this morning! Should be a good workout for the day!

Back from our 3D ultrasound! Baby would NOT cooperate; this was my first experience with switching position, emptying bladder, etc. Really wish I had brought some OJ to drink (they gave me a chocolate granola square to eat in the hopes that she'd move ;)).

So first she had her arms in front of her face and wouldn't move them lol. Then she finally moved them and put her foot in front of her face! Apparently my placenta is still in front, which 'makes things challenging' but as long as it doesn't block the cervix we're fine.

So I did some exercises and she moved, but not enough. Emptied bladder and then the stinker was using the placenta as a nice comfy pillow for her head. We finally got some nice video/shots of her face. The tech said that she had very petite features (!). Then she put her arm back up, yawned, and we think fell asleep.

@Mrs D: Thanks!

Oh, and the tech thought she could see hair (which just blows my mind), but then when she went back to show it to us she couldn't find it again XD;;. (I was born with a head of hair, my brother wasn't, my sister was).

Asked my mom and she said I was born two weeks past my due date.

So I had a weird interaction with my MIL tonight (over text)... She had asked what we had been up to today so I told her that I worked on our registry this afternoon and found quite a few fun things.
Her response: "registry?"
This caught me off guard since her side of the family is having a shower for me this summer... I would have thought they'd like that I put a registry together; we don't live in the same province as this side of the family so the registry would allow them to shop online for the things we need/want, rather than guessing at purchases that we will have to transport back to our home (15 hrs drive) this summer.

Anyway - I could totally be misreading the message, but I can't help but think that she is judging me for creating a baby registry instead of letting people pick out whatever they want (which they will do regardless - they certainly did for our wedding). I probably shouldn't jump to conclusions from a one-word response? Right?

Okay, end crazy preggo lady rant!

@Ocean girl: thanks!! It's the delta Bentley s series from target. On sale for $50 off, but that ends tonight!

On your MIL situation that certainly seems like an odd response. I guess there are still people out there who don't believe in a registry?

@StrawberryBee: OMG she looks so precious in that first picture!! And I love the foot in front of the face Your nursery looks amazing, too! You're way ahead of me.

@.twist.: Sorry I just saw your question now! As far as why they test between 24-28 weeks....I have no clue! lol The only thing I know is I'll get my results Monday at my doctors appt. When are you having yours done?

@lawbee11: I do but I usually forget to read them until a week or so after they're sent!!! Haha

@skipper2010: I go may 12!

@StrawberryBee: aaah! Cute little bebe! I also love your nursery too, you are so ahead of the game!

@Ocean girl: yea, who knows what that response meant. I'd ignore it until she says anything further about it.

@Sapphiresun: boo to failing the gd test!

@Mrs D: Mmmmmmmm. Probably a good thing you live far away. I want to raid your kitchen!
