Tracy- you poor thing!!! What did you do? Can you see about going to see a chiropractir? How will you feed Nolan or pick him up? I hope you feel better really really soon!
April- You and Athena might be having your babies on the same day What are you choices to do with Jesse? After Autumn comes you will need more time to heal and deal with getting to know her and her schedule-- Wouldn't somethings be easier to handle now if you can? Remember we are here for you!
Lots of Love, Becki
PS- I haven't heard from Wendy lately since the last time she posted.

Becki~ just stay away from bad gasey foods like cauliflower and broc.; but each baby is different and may have an aversion to one specific food. I'm not going back to work until July 1; so I will wait until Nolan is closer to 8 weeks before I start to pump and get some milk stored. Then around 10 weeks introduce him to a bottle for one feeding a day or every other day. My boys have never liked formula, 2nd DS would hold off 12 hours (sip from a cup) and wait for me to get home from work....because he disliked the bottle so much.
I'm going to go get Nolan cleaned up and fed, then try to lay down and rest. I've done something really bad to my back. I almost stayed in the postoffice parking lot because I was frozen in place with pain trying to put Nolan's carseat back in the car. It was bad last night, but today is almost unbearable. I will check back in later.
April~ good luck.....I hope you're feeling well today!
Becki, My OB told stay off my feet. I was walking a half mile a day.
Today is my ultrasound and my stress test. My blood work came back and it was ok.
Athena you muight have your baby before me.
If my doctor tell me hold off one week on Tuesday and I'm going to say something because I thing s I need to ideal with my son ands can't keep put that off.

WOW no posting since 11:30 yesterday- and that was from Athena who is on vacation!!!
Athena- if you check in today keep having fun and keep us posted if Garrett comes to join you all on your vacation-- He just wants to be a Gator and born here in FLorida
Tracy- Thanks too for letting me know when you felt Nolan move more.. I never remember it taking this long.. The flutters are fun and all but I want more and harder movements so I can notice them more - ya know! I read the baby sleeps 90% of the time and is only awake 10% -- I think mine is awake at night more then any other time.... So with BFing what kind of foods do you need to eat bceause I am SO not a helathy eater like I should be and things I thought were healthy are more gasy foods (I learned) I feel with my eating habits I'll cause more harm then good to it's stomach.. How long before you have to go back to work?
April- How are you doing? Are you still walking everyday and how far did or do you walk???? I am ready to start walking. I can see the weight in my legs and It's killing me!!!!
Tammy- update on Anlyn and if she is still doing better this week
Martica- you too we need an update on- Love the pictures
I hope everyone is doing well and it seems taht you all are staying busy on here...
I am feeling OK, not great.. Been having alot of contractions and woundering if I will make it until the Csection date of the 2nd, I may... However last nigyt was the last pre paid expensive activity and I feel better if I do go into labor now, I was not wanting to out of pure amdness of the m oney that was already invested and would be wasted.. LOL
Anyway.> We will see.. I feel ok and I am trucking along...

Becki~ I think I was probably right there with April....around 25 weeks or so before I got GOOD movements with Nolan. And, even then...he was lazy at times (sometimes for days) and would freak me out with lack of movements. He was even like that during his BPPs and they would have to shake my stomach to wake him up! He's still sleeping!!!
He's getting more wakeful though, and starting to fuss a little at being laid down for more than 5-10 minutes....he still likes to look around and loves to be talked to; BUT....when he's cranky...he's definately cranky; there's no consoling him; luckily, that has only happened a couple of times so far.....and I'm thinking it's something I might be eating or drinking. My two culprits (that I've narrowed down) are Dr. Pepper and almonds (nuts!) I love them both....but cutting them out for a few days to see if that helps.
We also have 4 bedrooms, my two middle boys are sharing a room...but they always have so it's not a big change for Nolan to have his own room right now; I'm SURE I'll have another boy if we get lucky enough to have another....so he will share with Nolan.
posted
Man, I wish I had 6 bedrooms!!!! OR at least a basement then I would be set! I have two girls sharing and my son has his own room and one girl their own room- but the girls rotate every July so once every three years they get their own room but that is about to change
Yea I've tried three times now to put in my order for another boy-- If only it were that easy (lol) I can say I want all I want, I seem to get girls only girls (lol) DOn't get me wrong I love my girls to death but oh are they moody and fight ALL the time with each other.. My son is SO easy going and just goes with the flow of things...
Where is a picture of ALL your chidren together with Maddy???? I know you have connections and love pictures!!!!

BECKI, We have a doublewide right now but we added on 3 bedrooms and a huge living room and turned the old living room into a nice dining room so we can all fit at one table and eat as a family, that is very important to me. so we have a total of 6 nice size bedrooms. right now almost every kid has there oun room. 2 of my little boys still share but maddy has her oun room and it is plenty big enough for another crib lol i would really like another girl but dh wants a son....my sons now said they want a sister so they dont have to share rooms again lol it was funny.

Thank You April- 25 weeks is still a good 6 weeks away--- Dang that is a LONG time to be wating for good movements... This child is going to give me gray hair before it's born! (lol)
I know this situation with Jesse is so hard as to know what to do and what is right... I feel from everything I have read Jesse just doesn't want to come home- I agree he knows right from wrong and shouldn't be doing these things... My heart is heavy for you and your family and I will continue to pray for you all and to know what is best and needed for Jesse.... You poor girl!!!!! I can't imagine the stress like that.... You are WAY stronger and I that is for sure!
Thanks again for answering my ? about the movements....
I want to share this with you. My dh wrote last night for our church.
Second, we received a call from Jesse today and things are not going well. Today he was caught stealing multiple medicines from home in order to try selling it at school. He was also caught with two knives on him. These are obviously very serious actions that carry heavy consequences. He is currently suspended for 10 days and he has a meeting Monday that could result in him being removed from school for up to 80 days. He may also be taken into Juvinile Detention; we don't know for how long. If he is suspended for a longer period of time, his current caretaker may request that he be taken home. Seeing as he did this in an attempt to "stay away from home longer" (his words), it appears he's willing to take desperate means to not be at home. This is not a situation we wish to bring into our home, especially with a newborn soon coming. That's all we know for now. We'll see what God has in store...
So yesterday was hard day.I feel my son Jesse should not get different treatment because he knoew right from wrong.
Beside this I'm doing ok. Becki, I didn't start feeling good movement till I was 25 weeks or more.

Thanks too Tracy. I guess we will see when I get the test done. I think I have one more month left before they do it. It's just weird and a strange feeling... SO how is baby Nolan doing? Is he still sleeping through the night pretty well?
April- One more week isn't too bad. I know your anxious to meet her and have her here but your in the home stretch now
Martica- AJ is growing so fast- You can totally see his little personality in the pictures... WHAT A DOLL!!! You and Adrain will be fighting off the girls!!!!
Tammy- how was last night? Is she still doing better? How about you?
Angel- how many bedrooms to you have? We have four and are already full (lol) But whats one more
Tina- I am going to email you today chicky
Mary? Mary? Where are you girl???? Sending out search party for Mary!
SO when did you all really start feeling LOTS of movement every day? How far along were you? I have been feeling flutters since 11 weeks but not all the time and not every day now they are strong but not as much as I want... I tell the bay to move and you know it doesn't listen.... So when did you really start feeling the movement????

April~ if your cervix is still high, that means it is still several centimeters above the bones of the pubic outlet. In women who have never had children, this could mean it will still be a while until they deliver; however, with women who have had a child previously, they can go from being high to being ready very quickly...so don't be discouraged by this. This may be why the doctor wants to wait though. Inducing labor (by breaking the amniotic sac) when the cervix is still so high runs a risk that the umbilical cord could drop down and get ahead of the baby causing a prolapse....so maybe waiting another week for your body to work is a good idea.
The blood work they did is most likely a pre-eclamptic workup to make sure that your liver enzymes are not elevated.....liver and kidney function tests are routine since your blood pressure is up and you are spilling a little protein into your urine.
At the high risk, they will probably do a stress test to make sure the baby is moving well and adapting well to the "stress" of your contractions; the other test they may do is a BPP or biophysical profile. This is an ultrasound to measure the level of amniotic fluid, the baby's movement and heartbeat to make sure that it is safe to let the pregnancy continue. They may also take some detailed measurements to check growth of Autumn. These are all good things, your doctor is taking care of you and making sure that Autumn is definately ready before she gets here; they are also making sure you are still able to continue with this pregnancy without risking your health. Try not to get to upset with them....and stay off your feet like they are telling you. I have a feeling Autumn is going to make her debut pretty soon!!
