Hey guys. Not a good day at all.

Janine went into labor today. She was contracting every 3 minutes and they were going to give her magnesium sulfate (I think that's what it was) to try to stop the contractions. I haven't gotten an update since 3pm, but it sounded like she was able to sleep for a while (didn't get any sleep last night). We need prayers, pixie dust and positive thinking more than ever. (she's only 23 weeks pregnant and it is definitely not a good thing for her to give birth yet).

Hopefully tonight and tomorrow will be better for her.

Hey Kim-
I was hoping to come on here and see an update on J..I am keeping her and her family in my prayers--i hope they were able to stop labor!

Now..TGIF my friend!! Do you have any fun plans this weekend?

Talk to you later--have a GREAT day!

Hey guys. Thanks so much for your support on here. Janine's labor has stopped since the 8th when I posted since she was put on 2 different kinds of meds. This morning at 8 was her last dose so they can see if the labor has really stopped, or only stopped b/c of the meds. She's still in labor & delivery until at least tomorrow (if the labor stays stopped).

I just feel so helpless and bad for her. Her spirit has really gone downhill and I just am at a loss as to how to be encouraging right now.

Thanks again, guys. As always.

Janine is definitely in our thoughts and prayers. Please keep us updated when you can, sweetie. Take good care of you!

 

[traceycooper]

Kim
keeping everything crossed for good news!
I'm sure your friend appreciates you being there for her.

 

[kmp1191]

Best wishes and for Janine! I hope the labor stays stopped!

Remember to take care of yourself as well.

Kim,

We're praying!

Thank you, thank you, thank you - ladies. You are seriously helping me more than you know. Janine was really a lot better when I talked to her today. She hasn't been on any meds since Saturday morning and no labor to be seen! Work for me pretty much stinks right now. I'm in the middle of training temporary help, which unfortunately only sets me back with my own work even more. Thanks again for all of your positive thoughts and prayers. They're working!!

As for me. I'm trying to end the food fest. I wasn't perfect today, but wasn't nearly as bad as I have been - so that's good. My neck isn't 100% yet, but I definitely have more range of motion without shooting pain, so it looks like I'm on the mend. Tonight was a beautiful night - weather-wise (probably the calm before the storm). I really wished I was able to get outside to take a brisk walk or even (dare I say it) a little run. But unfortunately my DH couldn't get out of work - so it didn't happen. Back to posting my food - for now:

bfast
3/4 cup cereal w/8 oz. skim milk
100 calorie yogurt

lunch
salad w/chicken & red wine vinegar
6 almonds
apple w/natural peanut butter

dinner
turkey & lite mayo on lite english muffin
20 reduced fat cheez-its

snack
3/4 cup lite ice cream

water
100 ounces!!

Hi Kim
I'm glad Janine is doing ok
Try not worry too much about your food - it certainly doesnt look that bad!!
Hope the weather holds out for you to get that walk/run in

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Glad Janine is doing better...

I hope you are having a good night (I Imed you and you didnt answer, so it cant be a good night )

Just wanted to say hi ..and keep hoping for a snow day for me tomorrow!

 

[kmp1191]

hi kimmy.....
hope all is well up there....is it snowing?
send some down here.....I need another friday off!!

 

[kimwim8]

Yup, it's snowing. Been snowing all day. Tonight things are just getting iced over. It's not looking nice out there, my friends.

Today was another good/crazy day. Work = crazy. Janine = good. She's holding her own right now which is a wonderful thing!

Food today was good 'til I got home. I'm kinda 1/2 focused for some reason. I gotta get my butt in gear.

bfast
2 scrambled eggs
8 wheat crackers w/lite cream cheese

lunch
LC lasagne
grapefruit
s.f. choc chip bar

dinner
cup chicken & dumplin soup (homemade by my Dsis - the BEST soup ever)
bologna & cheese sandwich

drinks
94 oz. water
16 oz. decaf unsweet green tea

Not much else to report tonight, guys. I wish you all a very happy Valentines day! Love you, guys!!

One last thing. I'm dropping out of the mileage challenge. The little icon really makes me upset that I can't do anything right now. But I definitely plan on doing the challenge in March.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

 

[kimwim8]

Thanks, Amber!

Yesterday was a bad day food wise (let's just say french fries were eaten twice and there was a grilled cheese and cheeseburger involved ). Yup that was my Valentine's Day in a nutshell.

Quick update on Janine:

Her placenta has moved! She no longer has complete placenta previa, she has minimal previa - which is awesome news. She had an ultrasound yesterday and her baby girl is still growing and looking great! She's 24 weeks today!!! That's a HUGE milestone and every week she makes it past this give the baby a better chance. Thanks again for the thoughts and prayers. I mentioned naming the baby DIS, but she's not going for it. She said she is gonna give the baby a middle name to reflect all of this mess. Like Hope or Faith.

Have a great day, all!

 

[traceycooper]

Thanks for the update on janine
Glad its still going well!
I think Dis would be a great name, then again so would hope or faith!!
hope you had a super soppy valentines day!
