DVCSince02 Baby Watch

[parrotheadlois]

I've been enjoying watching the little captions under the growing baby - we are inquiring minds, we need to know!!!

After the big nesting action recently seems like it should be soon, how are you feeling Jennifer?

:cheer2: Let's go baby!!!:cheer2:

She feels like having some :cake:











P-U-S-H!!!!!:headache: :headache: :headache:

[kab407]

She's coming up to my place to clean! :rotfl2:

[parrotheadlois]

Send her over my way when she's done!

[DVCsince02]

My jaw dropped when I saw this thread. I really didn't think anyone cared, I was just sharing my life. You are so thoughtful for asking.

I'm doing fine except for this cold that seems to have come from nowhere. I guess those new kindergarten germs have gotten ahold of me and DD. We are both snuffley but I'm feeling worse because I'm limited on what meds I can take.

The baby is rolling and kicking me in the ribs any chance he gets. I think he is going to be bigger than the other 2. ACK!

Now it's a waiting game.....

[parrotheadlois]

You didn't think we cared! We're like a family:grouphug:

What are you saying?? :sad: :sad: :sad:



Or is this just .. :eeyore:ism?

MANY of us care!!:hug: :goodvibes :hug:

After all, he and I have the same name!!! :rotfl2:

[DVCsince02]

I am feeling a bit like Eeyore today with a sinus infection.

[kab407]

We're one big DIS-FUN-ctional family.

[DVCsince02]

:rotfl:

[scarlett873]

We're one big DIS-FUN-ctional family.You got that one right! :lmao:

Keep us posted on the baby's arrival!! I'm sure you're about to go out of your mind waiting...lol

[Plutes]

UGH - now a sinus infection?!? You poor thing!! You're a stronger woman than I am, that's for sure!! lol

Hope the next week and a half FLIES by for you...

[DVCsince02]

I know. It seem like evey time I get a cold it goes right to my sinuses and it feels like my face is going to explode. My doc said I have a slight deviated septum, but nothing that would indicate surgery (and I like the shape of my nose).

So here I sit, still in my pjs feeling yucky. DD is off from kindergarten and being an angel (stuffy nose and all). Luckily my Mom is going to take her for the night, and DH can watch DS tonight while I rest. Now I just have to pack her stuff.

You know it's hard enough being pregnant in the summer. It's so hot all the time. Now add a fever in the mix and I'm just miserable. I barely slept last night (not that sleeping now is easy anyway), and when I did it was only for an hour at a time.

Okay, whining done.

:hug: :hug:

Only 19 left or less :) Are you excited?

[Tonya2426]

You poor thing!! Try using Simply Saline to clear out your sinuses - a neti pot would work better but you can get Simply Saline at the drug store and it should be PG friendly.

[kab407]

Actually it's less than that. I believe the new arrival time of, First-Name-Yet-To-Be-Determined Patrick is September 10th.

Jen has assured us she will be at chat that Wednesday!

[Plutes]

:hug: :hug:

Only 19 left or less :) Are you excited?

I think her date is now 9/10, so it's a measly little 12 days!!





J/K!!!!
(ducking to avoid whatever Jen's throwing at me right now!! lol)

We are praying that you start feeling better soon and that the baby arrives without a hitch... yay for babies! :cheer2:

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Jen you hae to let us know when you are going in. Can you take Claratin my doc said that was OK for me while preggers.

[LilGMom]

Do a baby dance!:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

The activity that started it all also helps get the baby out. ::yes::

[AuroraJae]

Good luck to you, Jen! I hope he comes sooner rather than later for your comfort. I can't wait to hear all the details! :goodvibes

[DVCsince02]

Only 19 left or less :)

:scared: BITE YOUR TONGUE!!! ;)

Doc will hopefully induce me on the 10th. She gave strict instructions to my husband to assist in the process...:lovestruc Poor guy....:laughing:

:sick: Luckily I can take a z-pack of antibiotics. It's the only thing that will clear this "colored snot". TMI? DH is going out tonight to pick it up. So tylenol and sudafed/actifed are my friends right now.

So what else can I tell ya'll? So far I've gained a total of 11 pounds. Baby's heartbeat was in the 140s. And at the ultrasound last week he is without a doubt a boy. The tech put the scanner on my belly and there he was in all his glory showing off the goods. We even got to see it work. Weird and kind of gross. He was doing his practice breathing and doing the dance of the cervix (TMI?).

I was really hoping for the 17th, My birthday but I understand!!!

I do hope you feel better soon. Chicken soup works wonders...

Only 11 lbs...you must look great!! I have gained 11 lds on a 1 week trip to WDW!! You will be back in shape in no time!! Good for you!

What is a cervix dance? I never had a baby!

I only gained 18 with DD and 11 with DS so looks like I'm on the same track this time. My problem is afterwards, I seem to gain it all back.:confused3

The dance is just a lot of pressure and sharp pains down low. At the U/S last week the baby's head was low and pushing on the cervix, which explains the pains. It happens when you are walking mostly and you feel like everything is going to fall out.:eek:

Have I grossed anyone out yet? I guess after you have been through this 3 times all shame goes out the window.

Julie - I don't want to scare you. It really is great the first time around....;)

[chirurgeon]

Jen, have you tried my favorite remedy? Take a jar of Vicks and just hold it under your nose and inhale as much as possible. Also a HOT shower and try exhaling through your nose. And those Shower Soother tablets. They create a great steam. That is good for draining the sinuses. I get some major fall allergies so the jar of Vicks is standing by and need to pickup more Shower Soothers.

Kim

[DVCsince02]

I'm not a vicks fan, but I do put a hot washcloth or heating pad on the sinuses and it helps a lot with the pressure and loosens it up enough to where I can blow.

I can't take HOT showers or baths right now. I'll pass out.:faint: Boy would that be a sight.:sad2:

[dpuck1998]

I'm the guy that dreams of the old days. When the husband got to sit in the waiting room with cigars. I sat in the corner of the room and waited. Now I have to go dig out my eyeballs with a soup spoon after reading this thread!! :scared1:

[exwdwcm]

not much longer Jen! 9/10 is a great day! it's my bday--the big 3-5.

you poor thing- sinus infection and i know it is already impossible to sleep as it is at the end. lol at all the gory details- i know the last few weeks, i was miserable and had every awful side effect you could think of. hang in there! just think of the nice cold 'beverage' awaiting you on the cruise!:cool1:

[tinkbutt]

you could be jackson on the gilmore girls!!!

he had a button that said " I don't wanna know the sex of my baby!"
and he wasn't going to find out till the nurse came out to the waiting room and said congratulations it a......:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[DVCsince02]

C'mon Don, you and DW have been through this a few times..... it's nothing new to you. ;) I'm just a total stranger relaying my experiences to a bunch of total strangers. Just wait until we discuss labor and delivery.......

I have some good news, the pressure in my sinuses has gone away. I LOVE ME A Z-PACK!

Bad news, I'm almost out of tissues. ACK!

[parrotheadlois]

Hi Jen,

I'm glad you're feeling better today.:thumbsup2 There's nothing like that "pain in the face" to get you down.

[tinkbutt]

if you run out of tissues there's always the sheets:laughing:

[DVCsince02]

if you run out of tissues there's always the sheets:laughing:

Perfect! I can blame the kids for that!:lmao:

[tinkbutt]

Perfect! I can blame the kids for that!:lmao:

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Love the z pack. I hope you feel better; sounds like you are.:) Keep us posted on the baby watch. 11 pound gain. Oh my. I gained 50.:scared1:

I'm just a wimp with that kind of stuff. Female "issues" just make
me queasy. I could go into the details of my birth issues, but I'll
save you all the discussion.

Congrats on the sinus! I got to take a z-pack once when I got pneumonia, it was awesome.

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Jen, Any baby things happening today? You figure #3 would come a little early. Keep us updated. I cant wait to hear how it went.


P. S. I work all weekend call me at work if you are coming in. 733-2502.

[DVCsince02]

So far today has been quiet. DH went golfing with my Dad and DD spent the night at my Moms. Luckly DS likes to sleep in so I got to rest a little this morning. When DH got home I went to bed for a few hours. I woke up feeling better. Still really stuffy, but the pressure in the sinuses is gone.

No plans for the weekend except to attempt the laundry and clean the living and dining room. That will leave the kitchen and family room and I should be all caught up.

I got DS to stay clean and dry in his Thomas Tank underwear all morning today! YEAH! The DH took over and you can guess what happened.... Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

[DVCsince02]

Good morning everyone!

[MenashaCorp]

Good morning everyone!


Good Morning!! Did seeing Brandie's cake in the trash get anything moving?? :) ;)

[kab407]

Good afternoon Jen! Glad you are feeling better.

[DVCsince02]

Good Morning!! Did seeing Brandie's cake in the trash get anything moving?? :) ;)

I knew you were thinking if me when that picture was taken. At least I was there in spirit. Poor cake didn't even have a chance.

[BRobson]

Hope you are feeling better

Just think come tomorrow you will be able to guarentee a September baby :hug: - You wont be pregnant in October :banana:

[DVCsince02]

I was thinking the same thing earlier Jackie. Sapphires are guaranteed!

[BRobson]

:yay: :yay: :yay: I like your thinking :thumbsup2

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

I see the little man has not made an appearance today. I am off until next weekend. Keep us posted. How exciting!!

[tigger813]

I have a dear friend who has picked 9/10 to be induced to have her little girl Teagan. Another friend and I took her to see Mamma Mia last night. I thought she might go into labor laughing! Then her hormones kicked in and she was crying!

Best of luck! 9/12 and 9/13 are also good days, DN and DBIL birthdays!

[DVCsince02]

No little one yet, so I'll spare you all the pregnancy details of the weekend.

Still fighting the cold/sinus infection but feeling much better. Even ventured out of the house today to visit my family and do a little shopping at BJs.

In 2 days, start consuming peanut butter! Dip it in chocolate, if you must.

[DVCsince02]

I started eating Reeses cups yesterday..... ;)

[calypso*a*go-go]

My next door neighbor is a massage therapist/instructor and told me there is a certain area near the foot that they never touch on someone that is pregnant because it can cause contractions -- should I find out where the no-no zone is? :teeth:

The only thing the Docotor told me to do - well it will involve the help of your other half :rolleyes:

Mindy suggested peanut butter (said it helped her). i don't like peanut butter unless it's enrobed in chocolate.

My doc gave me the same suggestion. Been there, done that, the t-shirt is too small.:rotfl2:

Drinking Castor oil,eating spicy food,going for a long walk - although if you have drunk castor oil I wouldn't stay too far :lmao:

What is the peanut butter supposed to do?

Also, I'm becoming interested in this topic too - pregnancy watches are so addictive. lol

Every time DVCSince02 gives an update I LOVE to tell my fiancee the gory details and then say, "SEE! That's all the more reason for you to treat me like a princess when I get pregnant!" princess:

And it's soooo fun watching the expression on his face. =P

But, no, seriously, I think pregnancy is so amazing - it's such a special experience and I don't know why, but I love hearing about it. I enjoy you being so honest about your pregnancy - it's like reading a book!

I hope you feel better soon, DVCSince02. I know people have been saying it to ya a lot, but we all mean it. =)

Also, September 17th is my birthday. Good day to be born on. ;p

Mindy said peanut butter worked for her and got the baby out. I'm trying it. ;)

I don't mind sharing the details as long as you don't mind reading them (DON???). Should we discuss mucus plugs or leaking breasts? :eek: :laughing: :rolleyes: :scared: :upsidedow :laughing:

Like I said, after going through this 3 times, all shame goes out the window.:cool2:

Although I can handle the second one...so carry on! :lovestruc

[DVCsince02]

You asked for it.

So today I'm in the shower doing the normal washing and shaving. I get out, dry off and look down at my HUGE belly and a glistening catches my eye. I look up slightly and I'm horrified to see that I'm ready to feed the kid that isn't even here yet. Oh, the joys of pregnancy.

I never use this, but if any thread calls for it this is the one! TMI!! TMI!!


btw, Gods evil torture to men...makes them 3 times bigger and unable to be touched...

[DVCsince02]

Any activity today?

Woke up out of a sound sleep last night with a few small contractions, but they stopped after about an hour.

So today I'm going to attempt to clean the living and dining room and put away the laundry to keep busy.
:laundy:

I've also been busy making magnets for our cruise door. Anything to keep my mind busy....

NOTE: I didn't lift a finger today, but at least I had good intentions. ;)

Tomorrow is another day :hug:

No posts from Jen yet - maybe this is the day!
pixie dust for luck :tink:

[kab407]

I know she was scheduled to be induced on 9/10. Maybe xyz-Patrick decided to make an early arrival all on his own!?!?

Hope all is well Jen!

[DVCsince02]

I'm still here. Lookey at what I've been trying.......

Hope you like them Mindy!

[kab407]

So look at what you've been doing!!!

Pretty darn cool !!!

[DVCsince02]

Hey, I got the laundry from the dryer to the clothes basket today! I'm moving right along.....

Is it freakin' hot or is it me? I'm sitting here in the A/C, with a floor fan directly on me (yeah, I know, I'm still sick) and I'm sweating like crazy! These hormones suck on a normal day, but in the summer it's unbearable!

[tinkbutt]

those power point things are cool!!!!

and I almost always have a Fan on me at all times with out the added hormones!!!

hope you feel better soon!!

[kab407]

I'm a few miles north in NJ and yes, it's warm and humid. I ended up turning the AC on last night just to be able to sleep. My allergies are really bothering me.

Know a good allergist? :lmao:

[BRobson]

Wish I was warm - I have my heating on :confused3 Thats Scotland for you :rotfl:

[parrotheadlois]

We're still using our ac too. I have more of the hot flashes issue than you young'uns - I'd leave it on year round if my dh didn't complain - use a ceiling fan too! You should feel our house in the winter - I keep it SOOO cold at night!! love it - get to "hunker down" under the comforter. But for now, it's ac for me.

So, Jen was busy being creative. My daughter's birthday is Friday (the 5th). Sounds like a good day to me. :yay:

I wonder how big Julie's getting. My niece is having identical twin girls - she's due December 19th. We had her baby shower the other day - she is so big already. She looks 9 months pregnant and has 3 (more or less) months to go. She probably won't get to the 19th, I'm guessing more like December1st.

Wow, scarlett873 that is so cool looking!

I haven't read the rest of the thread yet but its warm even further up here also! And we have a seabreeze (supposedly, haven't seen it much this summer. Everybody has to bring their green lawn w/them when they move here!):confused3

Awesome job Jen, Those look incredible. We are going to have the best decorated doors on any cruise DCL has seen.

[kab407]

Reminder....... chat tonight!

:)

I wonder if Kevin and John will be joining us? If they aren't there who will keep us under control? Tracy is is somewhere on the Magic avoiding Hanna.
Will we be allowed to run amuck in chat? :lmao: :lmao:

Yea, I've had a real fun day at work. Can I go home yet?

I just spewed ice tea!!

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

It was soooo hot here today Jen. We went to the Rt 40 park to walk and even the kids didnt want to play. I could not tolerate the heat at all when I was preggers. I was like the scene in Father of the Bride 2 when he has on winter clothes and they are complaining it is hot in shorts. At least you have an induction date but I hope he comes out sooner. Hang in there.

[DVCsince02]

Is that Beef Cake, or Bawb Cake?

So let's see... what's new today. Well, I'm going to the docs at 12pm today so hopefully I'll have some news to share.

My MIL is going to fly in from Florida from the 22-29. Need to find an air mattress for her to sleep on. I'm going to put her in the baby's room since he won't be sleeping there yet and I don't think she'll fit in the crib (although she is quite petitie). ;) She used to have an in-home daycare and is awesome with the kids so I'm glad she is coming. Plus she cleans and does laundry!! whoo hoo!!!

Oh, my list of things to take to the hospital. Have I forgot anything?

camera
video camera
pillow
robe
slippers/socks
2 outfits for me
3 outfits for baby (for hospital picture)
make up
hair stuff
shower stuff
cell charger
presents for kids from baby
cord blood kit (I'm donating the cord blood)
snacks and a change of clothes for Chris

Hate to pack a bunch of stuff, because I don't want to have to drag it all back.

That's it for now. I'll update everyone after I get back this afternoon. Everyone pray for some dialation!!

[parrotheadlois]

Good luck! We can't wait to hear the good news, will your husband tell us?? or will we have to wait impatiently??

Seriously, hope all goes nice and easy for you.:grouphug:

[Tonya2426]

Don't forget some change for the vending machines - you never know when your husband might get a Cheetos and Mountain Dew attack. :rotfl2:

oh and mesh underwear and super gigantic pads......nevermind they give those to you there too.....lol....figured i would help with the gross out factor a little. :rotfl2:

:laughing: :lmao: I prefer the ice pack pads! Those rock!
That's reminds me, where is that squirt bottle, can of Dermoplast, stool softener, and tucks?:rotfl2:
That was too funny!!!!!!! You crack me up Michelle!

Don, are you grossed out?!?!?!?

So..... went to the doctors today.... I'm 2cm dialated and 75% effaced. Doc wrote up my orders for induction for the 10th! Woo Hoo!:yay: :woohoo: So that means after 5am, we can expect a phone call from the hospital saying come in, we have a bed for you. On the other side, if there is no bed, I may have to wait until later in the day for that coveted phone call.

I'm very excited and a bit nervous. Have a lot of logistics to figure out. Like who's going to take DD to the bus (my mom will pick her up), and who is going to take DS to daycare and pick him up? It's hard to plan this stuff since it mostly depends on when I get a bed and when I deliver.

Life would be so much easier if I were rich. :rolleyes:

How long do you have to stay in hospital for after the baby is born in the USA?

[DVCsince02]

How long do you have to stay in hospital for after the baby is born in the USA?

Here it's 2 nights after delivery for a regular birth. 3-4 nights for a c-section.

Oh, I forgot one thing.... I lost 2 pounds. That makes a grand total of 9 pounds gained.

[BRobson]

I was in 18 hours with my second - as long as mum and baby are good we get to leave but that may be something to do with our NAtional Health Service ;)

9lbs - is that all!! that is fantastic - wish I had been like that :headache:

[chickie]

Wow Jen! 9 pounds!
That's how much I gained with my one and only. The only problem is that I came home from the hospital weighing the same as when I went in to deliver!:confused3 They said it was all water weight, but I don't know. I did finally lose it, but darn the luck...I found it again!!!!:laughing:
Here's to an easy, fairly quick delivery(don't want it to come TOO fast), and a healthy, happy baby boy!!!:earsboy:
Good luck!

[MenashaCorp]

Here, I'll SCARE that baby outta her!!


Hey, Jenn!!! My mom only gained 5 lbs with me..


So HERE'S WHAT YOU'RE GETTIN' WITH #3!!!!:scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: :scared1: (meaning "something like me")

[DVCsince02]

I've been tempted to take a picture of my huge belly. Especially since this may be our last baby. I don't have a lot of pics of me being pregnant because I'm usually the one taking the picture. DH doesn't do such a great job with the camera unless you like be headless.

As far as my weight goes, well I'm not petite by any stretch of the imagination, nor am I overweight. I'd call it above average. ;)

[BRobson]

You have to take a piccie - I never took enough photos :goodvibes

[parrotheadlois]

My niece has her picture taken regularly by her husband. Always standing sideways by the same wall, with her hand under her belly. It's nice for us aunts who aren't getting to share in the experience with her to see the progress! And with twins - what progress!!! She probably looks bigger than you do now Jen. But she's doing good and the babies are growing as they should - they're about 1-1/2 pounds each (or were a week or so ago):cloud9: :cloud9: (twin girls).

[TXYankee]

Oh, I forgot one thing.... I lost 2 pounds. That makes a grand total of 9 pounds gained.

9 lbs!!!

So not fair. Chubby Chicks like me gain 9 lbs at Thanksgiving!!

I bet you look great.

Take a Picture!!

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

You have to take a belly shot I have that as the first pic in EThans baby book from the day I went in. Oh yeah dont forget a hair dryer/curling iron they dont have them any longer and all my pics have me with a blonde afro from not blow dryer or curling iron.:rotfl:

I gained close to 30 for my pregnancy. I've lost it all at least for now and working on those last 5 of fertility drug weight. what a pain. i pay out the wazoo, stick myself nightly with needles to get prego and end up gaining weight as a result before i was even preggo. thanks a lot uterus and ovaries! why can't you work like normal people?:confused3 :rotfl:

i might still have my squirt bottle around here, how about i pack it up and send it as a baby gift? I'll throw in some :laughing: tuck's pads too! hey, those will be your best friend for a few weeks, right?

SEPT 10th is perfect....

Why unsubscribe now? We've already put many visuals in your head to when we meet in person on the cruise your gonna blush.

Isn't that always the way it is. I'm the outgoing one, I'll talk to anyone who will listen. My hubby on the other hand, well, we joke that he hates people. He is more of the observer type. Watches what's going on around him and later reports back to me, "did you see.....", "I can't believe ...".

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Is that little guy coming out today?? Any action? I work all weekend again. So if anything call me at work so I can come see you finally. LOL. I still cant belive you gained so little weight. Great job!!!

[DVCsince02]

No action on the baby front. Just lots of Braxton Hicks contractions.

[kab407]

Your baby ticker just cracks me up! :lmao:

[exwdwcm]

Hey The 17th is My 45th...and Im in Fort Worth!
Happy Birthday, to my Virgo neighbor!howdy neighbor! i'll raise a glass to you on your bday then!!! I am coming out your way next week to see mama mia at the meyerson on tuesday! :cool1:

Jen, we should get our hubby's together, mine is very quiet as well. He isn't coming on the cruise (hey, i have to leave the baby behind with someone, right?). He's not a huge disney nut anyhow, so he would probably be overwhelmed on the cruise. and he sure as hell would wonder what a fish extender is.

so let's see those belly pics! btw- my husband was completely and totally grossed out by my belly. he is grossed out by all preggo bellies. so that was really nice for me when you already feel ugly and fat and then your DH is grossed out too. Now that we have our son, i think next time he will be better about it, since he knows what a great reward the fat grossness is in the end. :rotfl: :lmao:

[DVCsince02]

I was showing him my belly button again last night and he pointed out my first stretch marks!:eek: I can't believe I've been pregnant for 10 months times 3 and NOW I get stretch marks?!?!?!?!?!?!??????:confused:

Never one mark, not even the line from the belly button. Just a huge belly and now I get stretch marks..... UGH!!!!!!!!!!! I ran to the bathroom to check them out and they are faint, but they are there.:mad:

Anyone know a good plastic surgeon?:sad2:

Well I was going for laser hair removal before I got pregnant, but had to stop. Had the "chiskers" and bikini line done and love my results. When I got pregnant with DD I started growing another set of eyebrows under my chin. It was terribly embarrassing. My hormones just went nuts! Now it's all gone! I'm going to finish up the session sometime in the winter and start a new round for the underarms.

I was reading in Family Circle or Womens Day yesterday about Botox being covered in the underarm area to stop sweating by your medical insurance. May have to look into that too.

[DVCsince02]

The doctor is IN.

[calypso*a*go-go]

So Jenn what's your "gut" feeling (tee hee)...do you think you'll make it to the 10th?

My DH and your DH must be related. You describe mine to a T. A quote from my DH. I don't have friends, because friends cost money! :rolleyes: Whatever that means? He can be social if need be, like at teacher's appointments for the kids or functions we have to attend (like weddings, funerals, etc.), but he likes to fly below the radar whenever possible.

And you and I sound a lot alike as well. :rotfl:

with me and DBF it is the opposite!! HE is SO out spoken and it might seem hard to believe but I am not that out going!!

[parrotheadlois]

I've got another one of those quiet ones! I'm the more outgoing one.

You still here Jen?

[DebºoºS]

I barely slept last night (not that sleeping now is easy anyway), and when I did it was only for an hour at a time.

:hug:19 sleeps to go maybe less if they'll let you.

Still here. Neighbor just stopped by to sign some checks with me. On top of the drama in my life, I'm also my HOA President and Treasurer.:eek: No laughing please.:laughing:

My gut says "Get this kid out". My brain says, "No way, keep him locked in until the 10th. Cross your legs, stand on your head". Refer back to nether region comment.

[dpuck1998]

stand on your head

Isn't that what got you into this predicament?

[DVCsince02]

Ugh, I am soooooooooooo past the try try try again phase. Now with Hanna coming up the east coast I'm a bit nervous (that whole barametric pressure thing actually puts us ladies into labor and I don't want that). At least not until Wednesday.

Now my hubby has the sinus infection, Poor thing. I made him call the doc yesterday and she put him on antibiotics without seeing him. He basically told her, my wife is having a baby on Wednesday and I need to be well.

I still have a cough and a bit of phlegm, but I'm mostly back to myself. I just can't seem to sleep. My hips are killing me at night when I lay down.

[tinkbutt]

AWW I hope you get some relief soon !!!!!!

[calypso*a*go-go]

So how are we doing today? :confused3

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Stay out of here today. All the nuts must have checked in due to the storm yesterday. Oh what fun I am having at work today.:rotfl:

[tinkbutt]

well I'm here wonderin how jen is doin

[DVCsince02]

Hi all! Still hanging in.

Liz - I believe you. Seems like all the wackos come out of the wood work when a storm has been around.

So today we crossed off everything left on our "to do before the baby comes" list. Raised the crib, installed the car seat base in the car, set up the bassinet in our bedroom, and set up the pack n play in the family room. Also, dug out the jars of vaseline for the little guys circ.

I still have to go through the diaper bags and re-stock them and add the baby stuff. I keep a bag in each car. I plan on going to Walmart tomorrow to get the kids a gift from the new baby for when they come to the hospital, plus a few odds and ends. Tuesday I'm heading to the grocery store to stock up.

On the slightly more gross and TMI side, I probably won't eat anything after 12pm on Tuesday unless it's bran or ruffage. You ladies who have given birth know what I'm trying to accomplish..... ;)

We told DD that the baby will be coming on Wednesday. She got so excited when she counted the days. She started talking to my belly and saying "I love you baby". Melted my heart.

Also, just found out a family friend has passed away. She's been ill for a long time, but it's still sad. Don't you know everything is scheduled for Wednesday so a card will have to do.

Oh, I want to get a pedicure before I go in too. Need some pretty toes. And I "washed that gray right out of my hair" yesterday. Why is it, when men get gray they look distinguished, but we women look old?!?!?

Well, that's all I can think of. If I remember anything else, I'll let you know.

Until tomorrow....

[tinkbutt]

I am so sorry to hear about your Family friend but as they say one angle must leave this world for another to enter!

your daughter is too cute! I hope you get everything accomplished ;) even your TMI before BABY comes!

[DVCsince02]

I'm still here.... can't sleep.

[tinkbutt]

that stinks I am always up late its hard for me to sleep. I feel that it is a waist of time for the most part? I know you need it but it is hard to shut off my mind! :surfweb:

[DVCsince02]

Tell me about it. My mind hasn't stopped racing since last week. I just lay there and think of everything and anything. From vacation, to baby, kids and school, packing lunch, going to the bank, blah blah blah.

I'm better off coming downstairs and not bothering Chris, since he has to get up in the morning and go to work.

[calypso*a*go-go]

My DH has actually been gone the last few days. My DMIL got really sick while we were in WDW and has been hospitalized for three weeks now. Poor thing went in with a bowel obstruction that turned into a whole domino effect with everything from blood clots to a second surgery due to torn sutures. It has been an emotional roller coaster as she would have a good day, and then several bad days. She appears to have stabilized now and I hope she continues to improve each day. Luckily she lives only three hours away so DH was able to drive up there immediately.

[DVCsince02]

I am so glad she is close enough to drive. I tell ya, when it rains it pours.

((hugs))

[kab407]

"Is it Wednesday yet?" has a whole different meaning on this thread.

Almost there Jen.

Lisa, I hope you MIL is doing well and makes a fast recovery.

[wishspirit]

Wow!

best of luck for Wednesday! :hug:

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Hey girl you are still hanging in there. Yesterday looked like a war zone in the ER. Stay away until Wednesday. Hey I might see you over at Walmart today. he he he. I have to pick up some stuff. I will look for all the preggers women.


Lisa I hope MIL is improving.

I'll be heading out around 10. Wearing a black tank top and jean shorts. I hate the Walmart on 40. It's so yucky...., but it's close. I'll be the VERY pregnant one. ;)

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Ethan is still asleep. I go to the one in Elkton. Do yo do the NewCastle Walmart:scared1: It really does scare me up there. And that is near where I grew up.:eek:

[DVCsince02]

I refuse to pay sales tax in Elkton. I grew up in New Castle too. Okay, I'm PMing you.

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

We sent a pm at the same time. LOL. I will call now.

[calypso*a*go-go]

[calypso*a*go-go]

That is great news I hope she continues to improve.

Thanks to you as well, Liz. We feel she may have turned the corner yesterday and will continue to do better, however it's going to take a long time for her to fully recover. This has really been a wake-up call for DH and me as both sets of our parents are still alive and have been pretty healthy.

We've always tried to give our parents privacy regarding their business affairs but realized when this happened that we have no idea what type of supplemental health insurance DMIL has...or anything else for that matter. :confused3

Oh well -- enough of this...let's get back to Jen's hemorhoids and missing belly button!!! :lmao:

[tinkbutt]

I know I found out that a girl here on the Dis actually went to grad school with my sis it really is a small world!

My DH has actually been gone the last few days. My DMIL got really sick while we were in WDW and has been hospitalized for three weeks now. Poor thing went in with a bowel obstruction that turned into a whole domino effect with everything from blood clots to a second surgery due to torn sutures. It has been an emotional roller coaster as she would have a good day, and then several bad days. She appears to have stabilized now and I hope she continues to improve each day. Luckily she lives only three hours away so DH was able to drive up there immediately.

I hope your DMIL gets well soon!!!:hug:

Just wanted to pop in and wish you good luck on Wednesday. My daughter was born on September 10th... almost 12 years ago. I was induced and it was a beautiful day. 4 hours of labor and 45 minutes of pushing and my "little" 10 pound 6 ounce baby girl was born. She was the best baby out of my 4 kids. So easy and at almost 12, she still is an easy kid.

Good luck... I'll be keeping you in my thoughts.

[halliesmommy01]

Lisa- hope your MIL continues to improve- thoughts going her way

JEN- good luck on the moms panel- i need to go apply, i didn't realize the info was up, i am so busy trying to wrap up my last few weeks at this job before starting the new one. I probably don't stand much of a chance, but hey, might as well try!

what time do you go in on Wednesday?

oh and you do know i am totally going to be leaving some tuck's pads or something in your fish extender on the cruise. so when you see some random crazy hilarious gift like that, you will konw who it is from. :rotfl: :confused3 :lmao:

[calypso*a*go-go]

Lisa- hope your MIL continues to improve- thoughts going her way

Thanks Michelle. :goodvibes

You guys are going to hate me...4 hrs labor with #1, and 36 minutes with #2. Natural childbirth with both (not because I'm have an extremely high tolerance for pain -- because they came too quick for me to beg for meds!).

WOW!!!! :worship: That's AWESOME! My friend was like that as well. With her last one she barely made it to the hospital to deliver....almost gave birth in the car! :lmao: My first was 12 L O N G hours, my second 9 hours, my third about 3-4, and my last (AND FINAL!) one was about 3-4 hours.

I had DS 12 minutes after I arrived at the hospital. I was alone in the room because DH went to move the car...the nurse came in to check on me and I told her I thought it was time and she started shushing me until she had a little peek and then yelled for a doctor. :scared:

[chickie]

I am a little jealous, Lisa. My labor was 18 lllooooonnnggg hours!
I had a friend who's 5th baby came close to being born in the car!:scared1:
At least her DH was an EMT at the time, so he could have delivered the baby if needed!

[dpuck1998]

My SIL gave birth in a Hardees parking lot. They made the news. Lets just say that planning isn't their best skill. In fact I'm not sure they have any skills ;)

Michelle - You are so bad. Remember what they say about paybacks.... I'll save you some mesh panties.:laughing:

What I've been told is to expect a phone call anytime after 4am and could be as late as 8am. Just pray there is a bed for me. If there is no bed... no baby.

Labor... Let's discuss.

With Emma, I was 12 days past my due date (GASP). I started contracting the day before at the doctor's office. While in for my visit, she stripped my membranes and labor really got kicking that evening. After midnight things slowed down a bit and they let me rest until 7am when the nurse hooked up the Pitocen. I pushed for about an hour and there she was.

With Ethan, I was scheduled for induction 10 days before my due date. Went to the hospital the night before and got the FOLEY BULB. :eek: Ladies and gentlemen, this is not comfortable by any stretch of the imagination. Everyone know what the foley bulb does? Imagine the cervix as the bottom portion of a balloon. When you dialate, the opening gets bigger, when you eface, the length of the opening gets shorter. When the doctor inserts the bulb, it forces your cervix open to 3 cm by injecting saline into it. OUCH! Then you get to lay there with this tube hanging out of you taped to your inner thigh for hours. It's really fun when you get up to walk around. I remember distinctly the sound of a POP when the nurse came in the next morning to remove it. Remember the song Lollipop, lollipop, oh lolli lolli POP. Well, that the sound it makes as the nurse yanks it out of your cervix. Anyway, moving on. Once the contractions got started he was ready. I pushed through 2 contractions for about 4 minutes and he was out. While the process of getting him out wasn't comfortable, the recovery was amazing compared to my first.

Luckily no foley bulb is needed this time....

Let's see, who have I grossed out or shocked today.

I often wonder if Julie is reading this thread and thinking O.M.G.:scared1:

You know, I feel I should add this. While sharing the adventures of pregnancy has been a lot of fun, I wanted to say that getting to this point wasn't easy for us. While Chris and I have never had to turn to advanced medicine to get pregnant, it was a long road. With each pregnancy, we tried for almost a year. It seemed like when I would get to the point of "that's it, I'm calling the doctor", our prayers were finally answered. By no means do I intend to offend anyone by the silliness of my postings. But it's nice to have a little laugh after a long and tough road.

Okay, I'm getting emotional. Love you guys.

[calypso*a*go-go]

Okay, I'm getting emotional. Love you guys.

Back at cha !!!

What's amazing about the whole birthing process is that after how-many-billion babies have been born...no two pregnancies are alike! It truly is a wondrous thing. :goodvibes

[kab407]

:hug:

Thanks for letting us be a part of it.

[DVCsince02]

Well the hospital just called and I'm 3rd on the list for Wednesday. She said I can expect to be called between 4 and 8am, but 6am is written on my chart. If they don't call by 8am, I have to call my doctor to be rescheduled. Everyone do the labor dance before you go to bed Tuesday night so there will be plenty of room for me on Wednesday.

[calypso*a*go-go]

Hey Jen -- Maybe you should do the labor dance yourself to see if you can shoot for Tuesday instead...:rolleyes1

[DVCsince02]

I just checked the moon phases and no full or new moon, so hopefully the masses of pregnant women will stay away.

[exwdwcm]

Wow Lisa, so jealous of your quick labors!

Jen- that is crazy on the foley bulb, i was grimacing just reading it. I am sure we have defintely scared the weak stomachs away now. And how amazing is that, when you were just about to give up or get help, boom, you get pregnant! that is so great. I totally understand needing to laugh about it now. After enduring almost 2 years of negative pregnancy tests every month even after doing fertility drugs, i was just wiped out emotionally (and physically and financially) and completely cried out. So it's nice to be able to laugh about some of it now. :wizard:

my labor was not too bad. went in the night before for induction- got the cervadil over night. i was already a 2 before going in. started pitocin at 5am next morning. broke my water at 9am and then i was hurting. hello and thank you epidural at 10am. was moving slowly and at like a 6 at 2pm. My epi was wearing off, and i had bad back pains- so they upped it......OOPS............TOO MUCH! i can't feel a thing! they come back at 3:45pm and i am a full 10, ready to push. But i can't feel ANYTHING! how do i push, i can't feel my thigh or toe or anything. So at 4pm, they are finally getting it all ready to go. I pushed for an hour and 20 minutes, but it felt like it was only 20 minutes. it went by fast. i assumed i was pushing, although i couldn't feel a thing. i literally felt no pain, just jello. then a pop and i hear the snip snip snip and i knew he was coming out.

my labor and delivery were not bad. the afterbirth part was a NIGHTMARE. baby boy scratched me internally on the way out and i was bleeding out. so they go to delivery the placenta (another great part women don't like to tell you about)....This makes me bleed like crazy and they couldn't stop the bleeding. DH said it was like a horror movie. They wouldn't even move the baby to the nursery yet, since i was in crisis, he just stayed in there with DH holding him. I was dying in pain. the doc was screaming for help- no one was coming. i was starting to freak at that point. finally someone comes and they find the bleed and stop it. I had never felt so much pain in my life. not even the delivery. I was nauseous and lost so much blood. They were giving me all sorts of shots. I barely even got to hold the baby- no happy family together type photos right after he was born. it was a mess and a disaster. My mom even got sick and had to leave the room. I barely remember people coming in to see me as they cleaned up the horror show. I was out of it and still in horrible pain. Luckily my MIL stayed and she gathered my things for me as they wheeled me to my post room. He was born at like 6:17pm and it wasn't until midnight that i finally felt somewhat decent again. it was terrible. i really hope my next (if we are lucky enough to get preggo again) is different! :rotfl:

[DVCsince02]

Delivery of the placenta. With DD it felt like a big blob sliding out of me. I really wasn't that interested in that part because Emma had meconium in her fluid, so I just watched and waited to be sure she was okay. I barely remember that part.

With Ethan, I asked to look at it. It was cool and weird at the same time. I didn't feel it or my legs for hours. I had just pushed the happy button before it was time to deliver so I had absolutely no feeling for hours. Even in the post partum room the nurses were mad I was brought down because I couldn't walk yet. I couldn't even lift my legs. Now I know they want you to have some feeling so you "know how to push", but I'm telling you, numb is the way I want to be.

Anyone totally freaked out?!? hahaha

It takes a lot to freak me out since I have had 2 babies :rotfl:

I love giving birth - the first time I was induced and when we got started it was quick.

The second time I was to be induced, turned up at the hospital and unknown to me I was already 10cm dilated ( i thought I had backache :lmao:) an hour later he was born.



Seriously Jen - good luck and I look forward to seeing piccies of your new edition soon :hug:

[kab407]

Anyone totally freaked out?!? hahaha

::yes:: ::yes::

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

Well since we talked about this on the phone, not so freaked out. But you had better deliveries than mine. I ended up in high risk ICU for pre-eclampia (sp) and also was privey to the horror show of hemmoraging. Got knocked out cold from anti-emetics and pain meds and woke up alone, no baby, no husband and covered in mashed potatoes of all things. They must have put a dinner tray in front of me at some point. I thought we had lost the baby since he was 5 weeks early and nobody wanted to tell me. Well after my freakout fit and demanding me see my baby. All was well in the world. I dont wish to repeat that next time. I was in ICU for 2 days and in the regular floor for 5 more days. UUUgghhhh way to much time in the hospital. I was so bored by the time I got to leave. I wish you better luck than me!! I will miss you in chat Wed. night.

Heck the 2 nights is too much time. My butt is always so sore from the terrible mattress.

You never know... maybe there will be no room at the inn and I'll be in chat crying my eyes out.:sad2:

Oh no dont say that. I only made it to 35 weeks and that was uncomfortable enough. But he was huge at 35 weeks weighing 8lbs 8oz. I cant wait to meet Evan this week!!!! You have to post a pic as soon as you can.

[halliesmommy01]

Good Luck Jen! I will be sending stay away all other pregnant ladies so Jen can have a bed vibes your way!

With Hallie my epidural worked too good. I couldn't feel a thing. It was great. Now my son I might as well not even had an epidural. It did not work at all. I was induced with him because my blood pressure shot up. That started at 8:30 PM and he was born at 9:30 am the next morning. I thought I was going to slap my nurse. I told her he was coming and she did not believe me. She called the Dr anyway because I insisted and by the time he got there(his office was one floor above in the hospital) Tyson was half way out. It is weird because I know it hurt but I don't remember the pain.

[DVCsince02]

Well, less than 24 hours to go (I hope). I thought I would be a bit sentimental today reflecting on how fast time has gone, yadda yadda yadda, but strangely enough I'm not. I am ready to get this going and the wondering if the hospital is going to call in the morning is driving me nuts.

My poor hubby has a terrible cold and asked me last night if he should wear a mask in the hospital. You know, I don't need this...... I've got enough on my mind without worrying about if the baby will catch his cold. So I guess he will wear a mask. That'll make for some nice pictures.....

So today I have a list of things to do but I don't know if I can get it all done. I need to go to the grocery store, but lately I've been a bit woozy. As long as I keep moving I'm fine, but if I stop and look at something I get very hot and feel like I'm going to pass out.

I also need to finish packing my bag. I plan to have it all loaded in the car tonight for the morning, so we won't forget anything.

Yesterday I finished cleaning the house. I didn't vaccuum, but DH can do that.

So, I guess I better get moving. I'll check in later.

[calypso*a*go-go]

Hang in there Jen -- not too much longer now! We're all cheering for you...:cheer2:

[wishspirit]

Everyone do the labor dance before you go to bed Tuesday night so there will be plenty of room for me on Wednesday.

Labour dance booked in!

Best of luck! :hug:

[DVCsince02]

If I can't make chat, I'll ask my brother or SIL to join. They are JSJR514 here on the boards.

I'm just trying to keep busy today. Laundry, last minute preperations, painting my nails, etc.

I'll let you know if I get the call in the morning.

[cocowum]

Not much longer. :hug: Good luck Jen! :goodvibes

[newtodis]

Good luck with everything! That last 24 to wait is the longest I tell ya'! DS4 was an emergency c-section after being in labor almost three days...:scared1: DS1 was a planned c-section but spent a week in RNICU due to only 1/3 of 1 lung being inflated when he was born-those lungs work now though! :rolleyes1 the last night before going to the hospital was the worst...I kept telling DH to hurry up and drop DS4 off at day care that morning-maybe if we get there early they'll do it quicker. :rotfl: It actually worked too! I got in about an hour earlier than planned!

Good luck and best wishes to your family!! :grouphug:

Hi...
:sad1: :sad2: :mad: :sad1:
Well the news is not good. No room at the hospital. It's packed to quote the doctor. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement, but I keep telling myself everything will happen as it should.

They asked me if I wanted to be rescheduled for tomorrow and I said no. Two reasons for that. 1 - It's September 11th and I don't want the little guy to have that for a birthday, and 2 - it's a different doctor. So, I have a dr appointment this Friday and am being rescheduled for next Wednesday (the actual due date). I just hope this guy isn't too big by then.

[SweaterInJune]

awww...sorry to hear that! Best wishes for the week ahead. Who knows? He may surprise you in the meantime :)

[kab407]

I am sorry Jen.

I am believing more and more in things happen for a reason.

Hang in there. He's gotta come out sometime!

[halliesmommy01]

I am sorry Jen. I know how disappointed you must be. I hope it happens before next week for you.

Oh my!! I guess he may be born on the 17th (my birthday) I was a big , healthy baby and my Moms labor was quick and easy! She said she sat up and gravity just caused me to pop out.

Good luck to you!!!:hug:

Good news is.....see ya in Chat tonight :)

[exwdwcm]

so sorry Jen- I know you were really hoping for today. and it's my bday, i was hoping to share the day with Evan! :goodvibes

I totally understand with not wanting it tomorrow. :goodvibes

if he is too big, i'll just be sure to send lots of extra tuck's! :thumbsup2 seriously- you are in my thoughts and prayers!!!!!!

[tinkbutt]

AAAWW jen I'm sorry now you have an assignment let me know what happens in chat tonight? I have to work 9pm to 3am!!!!:scared1: Inventory sucks!

[chickie]

Sorry to hear that, Jen! I was hoping to pop on this thread and hear that the baby was already here.:sad2:
You are in out thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself, and keep us posted.:hug:

aww, I'm sorry Jen. But it's true, the little guy might just surprise you and chose to come out on his own. :cheer2: And I think your reasons for not wanting to be rescheduled for tomorrow are very valid. Hang in there, now that you're all ready, you can just relax, and join us in chat tonight, :grouphug:

The hosptial is too full? What happens if mother nature kicks in and you end up there today anyway?

[DVCsince02]

Then they make room somewhere but not necessarily in labor and delivery.

[aGoofyMom]

The hosptial is too full? What happens if mother nature kicks in and you end up there today anyway?

Don't even think it! Up here they would ship you off to another hospital - if you are lucky they even offer up an ambulance ride to get there. (I used to work with a girl who had her hubby drive her 30 minutes to the next hospital when she was turned away by her local one)

We have far too much pixiedust: on Jen here for that too happen!

Take care!
