Hi everyone!! I went to the dr Monday and I've gained 8# since my last visit. I am now 32 weeks and 3 days today. Not sure about how much baby weighs, I might not get another u/s and if I do it wont be until 4 weeks from now. I'll start my 2 weeks appts on June 2nd, that is great news for me finally I've reached the end. Everything else has been going good. We finally bought our Travel System, we got the Graco Clara. DH surprised me with it yesterday afternoon. One step closer to bringing our little princess home!

Hello girls!! Athena those pictures are so cute!! I went to the dr again today and mr stubborn was moving so much that when they did track him down he fell asleep and then even after two buzzes and 45 minutes later my nst was non reactive so I had to have a biophysical profile. All is well and I will be seen in a week by the doctor but need another nst in l&d sometime this week again. He is up to 6.5 lbs so he gained 1.5 this week but I lost 1 lb. I will update when I can Shirley edd 6/15/08

Its going to get real busy on this thread in about 3 weeks!! WOW!! My little man gained 1lb 10 oz in the last 3 weeks, the previous 3 weeks he gained 1lb 4oz so I'm hoping in 3 more weeks he'll be close or around 7 lbs!!

Hello everyone!!! Wow in less than 3 weeks I'll be having my baby too. June 9th at 7:30 am!! I just may be next if nobody goes early, then itll be like one of us after another! We are 100% ready for her. DH has his vacation time scheduled starting the weekend before she comes. I showed him how to use the website and he has the camera and batteries already packed away with the baby's things and he's gonna post pics as soon as he comes home, he promised me he would anyway. The doctor said I more likely will be induced Monday the 9th cuz it is scheduled but since people that are in labor are first its possible to be pushed back a few days. But since mine is first thing Monday morning I should be alright since all the back-ups from the previous week should be done over the weekend, because they don't schedule any on the weekend. I will be 36 weeks on Thursday and will get tested for Group B. Which scares me because I did have it with 2 of my pregnancies.
Tanya- we can't wait to see pics of your little princess.
Michelle, Kelli, Shirley, and me who's it gonna be???? -Lori EDD 6.19.08 induction 6.09.08 7:30 a.m.

Tanya, BOy am I jealous, Garrett is awak alot now too however I can not get him to sleep through the night, I have tried Rice Ceral, He drinks 5 ozs of Formula and music, Everything but I still get up two times a night..Oh well.. I am glad that all is wella nd she is being a great little girl, now send pics our way... Everyone else, lets see some more bellies.. LOL
posted
Wow Tanya! Thats awesome about Carly sleeping through the night already! I hope we're that lucky. NOW WHERES THE PICTURES..LOL
Awwww Michelle!!! I know you must be uncomfortable but you look cute! 3 weeks for us both! Wow.
Just got back...Boston weighs 5.4!! He has flipped over too!! Alls good and its 37 weeks for sure. Dr said with this fluid problem the uterus will have a harder time contracting back and so 37 weeks is the furthest she'll let me go. Looks like 3 weeks! My last u/s is June 10th. WOW

Michelle, yes you are brave and I think that is cute. I really like that. Comparing your 33 week belly shot and Kelli's there's not much of a difference considering you have 2. Either Kelli's baby is going to be big or you have a lot of room in there for these 2. I have an aunt who never showed and never wore maternity clothes with a 5 of her kids because she has sooooooo much space inside. I so wish I had something to show right now after having this TR and going through all these things, but like I said before I gave up and if it happens it happens, I just don't want any more E/P or M/C.

Kelli, let us know how the app goes.... I am being brave and posting my 33 week pic... DH is not allowed to get my face since I am super swollen...We had to take a pic in this shirt my kids got me for Mother's Day... I think Mike Rowe (dirty Jobs?) is so cute! It's super tight, but had to take a pic in it.

Kelli - I hope everything goes OK with your ultrasound. 37 weeks isn't that early and chances are excellent he'll be just fine!
Athena - What a beautiful little boy! Beautiful BLUE eyes...
Carly is doing great. She's sleeping from about 11PM to 6AM for the last two nights - let's hope that's a trend that stick around. She's eating well and starting to spend small amounts of time awake vs non-stop sleep/eat/sleep/eat.

Good luck Kelli! Interesting, I have never heard of the cord thing. You're darn right, I would deliver him at 37 weeks too if he were at risk for anything thereafter. Hope being on all 4's worked for you Lori

Lori, I wasn't having any symptons and I also have never heard of anything like that. What happened was at my 24 week appt my uterus was measuring 34 weeks and my dr found that odd so they scheduled an u/s. During the u/s they found I have polydramnious, way too much fluid around baby which could eventually start causing him stress but they also wanted to look at the cord. I think just to be sure it was ok and what they found was the resistance is to high which makes it not easy for the blood supply to easily go through it. One sign that the resistance is causing problems is not enough growth or him showing signs of not being happy in the uterus, hr deceleration and things like that. With my having the fluid problem and the cord problem they are keeping a closer eye on the baby and feel he will be best out of the womb at 37 weeks than to stay in and take risks of more things happening. Make since? It took me awhile to understand too! Its kinda like the flexibility of the cord, it should be "loose" like and allow blood flow easily but if its resistance is higher, it makes it hard to let blood flow and can actually start sending the blood back like a rubber band instead of getting through. Confusing I know! I am going to talk to them tomorrow about maybe doing an amnio before they schedule the delivery just to make sure but like I've said before if the risks of keeping him in outweigh the risks of getting him out, we'll let them deliver us. The only reason right now for a c section is if he stays breech, other than that they'll just induce me. Turn over baby!!! I've been on all 4's trying to persuade him to flip!! Maybe I'll be shocked at my u/s tomorrow to find out he has flipped!! I'll know in the morning!

Kelli, what kind of symptoms were you having that made them look for a problem with the cord? I never heard of cord resitance. Just wondering?? Lori

OH ATHENA!! He's so gorgeous!! Thank you for sharing pictures!
Karen, You look awesome!!
Michelle....yikes 3 weeks...I'm right there with ya! June 12th is the earliest I'll have Boston...well as of right now. I have another u/s tomorrow and hopefully the cord resistance thing is still not causing problems because if it is, he'll be here even sooner and thats scary. I can't wait to see our babies, remember when all of this started!?? I remember you congratulating my on my + and you didn't have one yet...I told you to go buy FRER and an hour or so later you had a blarring +!! Twins!! Now we know why!! We've come a long way, haven't we! Wow, we are very blessed to have the ivf work the first round! I'm so happy for us both!!
