Hi Ladies,
I'm due August 20 th with our 2nd. That makes 2 little girls for us Going for an u/s June 18th, super excited

Just a quick pop in, had my cerlage appt, everything is where it should be. Blood pressure and weight are on track. Her heartbeat and measurements are also on track. Had my glucose test Friday, just waiting for results. They said they won't call unless it's bad, otherwise we'll discuss them on June 8th. Hubby got to come home for a 4day visit over Memorial Day weekend. It was a wonderful but very busy 4 days, being pulling everywhere so everyone could hang out with him. Hoping to surprise him for Father's Day and make a trip to him, if doc allows the 5hr car ride one way. Have a great week all!

Hey there ladies! I went for my glucose test & passed! Yay! They also did some other blood work & found my iron is low so now I have to take supplements and try to add more to my diet. I made the mistake of looking online & freaked myself out. My midwive told me to just make the two changes & it will be fine but the iron supplements are going to make me tired. She was so right on that one! I can't seem to get enough sleep which is a bummer cause I was enjoying having energy again. Oh well. Everything else seems to be going well. I hope everyone is able to enjoy some of the summer:)

I've been thinking alot about the birth too! People always ask like it's their business and i have just been telling them that I'm going to keep an open mind. I am also shooting for a natural birth, mostly because i'm really scared of drugs but I'll see when the time is closer. I am on a waiting list for a midwife but I doubt I'll get one, there are only a few in the city where I live and I was told I have to book one as soon as i pee on the stick if not earlier. I do have a doula though.

I got my glucose test back as well at my last dr. appt. but she never got back the screening tests for down's and what not that I did quite some time ago. To be honest i'm kind of glad, I really didn't want to know anyways. Whatever happens happens. I did pass the glucose test though, the orange drink wasn't that bad......but i have a super sweet tooth!

June has been super busy and my best friend is getting married this weekend. I'm in the wedding party and just praying I won't be a swollen mess for her pictures! at least my bump looks like a bump now so i won't just look fat in the dress Another girlfriend asked when my baby shower was and i hadn't even thought about it yet because I've been so focused on all the busy June events!

Other than that everything has been going great. Feeling fine. Nothing really to complain about except some minor hip aches. I'm definately slowing down though. My poor dog can't walk any slower but he'll have no choice! I'm still swimming with my masters club and still plugging along but not getting the same distance in as I used to. that's ok though, feels good to be weightless for a bit.

We've been having below seasonal temperatures here and an extremely wet start to summer. it's gross. On the plus side I don't have air conditioning so I haven't been baking in the house!

I can't believe how quickly time has gone.....

We are getting so close ladies! I'm ready for my little guy to show up even though I still have 4 more weeks. I'm no longer working do to some major changes and causing too much stress. I don't want to have any problem with my little one because of the craziness there. On the plus side of being home I can do the little things I wanted to get done before the baby arrives and spend time with my daughter.

I had my appointment with the midwife today. Baby boy is still head down but high enough that he could turn, so I'm going to pray that he stays put. . Other than that everything is well.

Mpederson - I've been doing pretty easy meals too. I hope your little one flips on his own for you:).

Hi everyone! We're almost there, August is next week, can you believe it?

I have to say, I've had a pretty easy pregnancy up until now but am starting to feel pretty uncomfortable lately :-/ All the symptoms just kinda slammed me in the face in the past week or two (back aches, sore feet, swollen ankles, fatigue). It's so hard to admit that there are certain things I just can't do at all or at least need help doing. I went to a super Wal-Mart the other day, specific list of items in hand, and ended up walking all over the store! I started getting cramps and felt like I needed to sit down and drink a glass of water omg, not doing that again until after baby is here!

I'm also not "done" with being pregnant (due on Aug. 30th so still have 5 weeks) and want the baby to come when he's ready, but am soooo done with work. I'm uncomfortable no matter what I do-- sit at the desk which squishes my stomach, walk around the office which hurts my feet, etc. But I'm grateful to have a job, and one that is willing to accomodate me until my due date. I'd much rather spend my short term disability time with the baby rather than sitting at home twiddling my thumbs!

How are the rest of you holding up? Have you all finished getting ready for baby (as much as possible anyway)? We're almost done with the nursery, just some wall decorations to hang up. And we need to install the car seat and pack our hospital bag, but I think that's about it!

AUGUST IS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!:noway:


Bru are you still hanging in there?

Had my 38wk doc appt this morning.. Blah. Well, I'm 90% thinned out but we went back in progress.. back to a 1cm from the 2-3cm last week. However, Nick will be home tomorrow for the weekend, which is perfect timing for my birthday on Saturday, but I don't think Miranda will make her appearence this weekend...

hope your cold goes away!

I just posted in the third tri board so you can read my rant there

I'm feeling really overwhelmed and unprepared. Work's too much, husband's no help blah blah blah.......

but yes, still hanging in there.

This week has been challenging to say the least, I've never felt so bummed out in all my life and for no reason what so ever. I even had some great things happen this week.....I hit a huge milestone by swimming over 100,000 metres while pregnant, I had a birthday, my girlfriends came over and we had a delicious icecream cake and still......bummed out.

I'm supposed to be at work for two more full weeks but I'm not sure i'll make it. Yesterday I had to sit leaning far to the left all day just to get some relief from some intense rib pain on my right side. Sigh.....maybe next week will be better. I hope everyone else is having a better week!
