I'm having a baby!!!

[intothewoods]

Yep, Zofran. If what you have is severe morning sickness, that's manageable. Of course they need to watch you. You need to have calories coming in, etc., but at least there's nothing else going on. Hang in there - it should ease up in another week or so!

Thank you sweetie. Every day that passes I just think, that's one more day that's done and over! ^_^ *hugs!*

Zofran is crazy expensive. I took phenergen. Cheap and worked quite well for me. Made me sleepy, but that was fine. Not like you can't use all the sleep you can get when you're pregnant!

Yes! You are doing great!

Hahaha! No kidding! I have two sets of stairs in my house (I have a two story split level, sometimes I just call it a three story, saves time >_<) which I have to get up and down several times a day and just doing that wipes me out. I USED to have a lot of gittup and go, but it got up and left.

Yes! You are doing great!

Thank you!!

Lately, my sleep cycle is alllll kinds of messed up. I'm going to bed at about six or seven at night, and waking up around two or three in the morning unable to sleep anymore.

Weird.

Oh, also, I've been eating lots of popcorn lately. I guess my baby gets what s/he wants!

You need to get yourself a ticker. All the cool forum kids have them.

Best of luck. I can't think of anything more terrifying than motherhood.

Hey SD,

How are you feeling? I've just passed the 10 weeks & for some reason I had a semi dop for a day when I didn't feel like doing anything but was then frustrated with myself for a totally non-productive day. So, the next few days I set some little tasks to achieve & wow of all wow's I seem to have my energy back & once I start something I'm on a roll and don't seem to be needing naps like I was. I think you're a few weeks behind me so I just wanted to give you something to look forward to.

I hope you are well (and hydrated) and the baby is snug inside. Look after yourself & keep us posted on how you're feeling.

I'm okay. I've been in and out of the non emergency clinic getting IVs occasionally, just to make sure I'm getting the hydration I need. The zofram has made me able to eat although it hasn't eliminated my morning sickness entirely, it's 90% better!

I've found that I can't drink milk anymore 'cause it makes me really nauseas but I'm taking an extra calcium with my prenatals.

I'm unusually emotionally sensitive lately, and I've been getting teary more so than usual. I find that if I'm just left alone when I'm all sobby I recover quickly and I'm back to my generally chipper self in just a few minutes!

I've been craving chicken still, I'm really loving Quizno's chicken sandwiches lately...and fish for some reason. I hate fish! I keep watching Good Eats episodes where Alton does fish recipes and drooling on my keyboard. Also, the smell of Cascade dishwasher soap is awesome to me right now. I love doing the dishes or standing next to the dishwasher while it's running to smell the soap.

*Facepalm* Weird.

No, I told them I felt okay today but the nurse said if my nausea gets worse or doesn't get any better, to come back and they'd give me...I can't remember the name, but it starts with a Z. Zomar? Zofran?*shakes head* I'm broke right now and my insurance hasn't kicked in yet, so I can't purchase any meds at the pharmacy.

I'll just go back on Monday if I'm still feeling sick (which I probably will be) and get them.

Edited to add: Yes, it's Zofran. Expensive but I heard it works great.

75 dollars a pill and it doesnt work.
Pine sol floor cleaner, i washed the floors 63 times a day when i was pregnant.

Actually, Zofram works perfectly well for me! I'm really sorry it didn't work for you, you must have been miserable.

63 times a day?! Now that's a clean floor! ^_^

Is Cousin Scott the father?

For best LitDrama purposes, will the miscarriage be promoted in advance so we can all be here when it "happens"?

Please advise; your pal

Lance

PS: thanks again for the phone sex.

 

[FantaSeaGirl]

Have you found out how far along you are yet? I know you were having an appointment some time this month.

I had another OB apointment yesterday, checked the heartbeat & how I was feeling. He's decided that my due date is now August 21st. We're having a planned C-section so it will be about August 14th. I have to admit that I laughed a bit at the Dr. He was so organized, double checking my due date, re-measuring me & then planning the C for a week prior "just in case"..... but I'm just not going to get too caught up with exact dates. My daughter was 3 weeks early & to this day she has never done anything when she was "sopposed to" so I donlt see why this baby should be any different!

My due date got bumped up from November the 9th to August the 23rd last checkup...but I'm going tomorrow to see exactly how far along I really am. As soon as I find out anything I'll let everyone know! I should be home tomorrow about two-ish Central time.

Yeah, don't quote the trolls either please. He's scary obsessed with me and I don't need the creepy rapist vibe of seeing his posts in my vanity thread.

The ultrasound was a resounding success!

I gotta tell you, being pregnant has been somewhat unreal to me these last few months. It hasn't really truly 'sunk in' as much as I thought it would. Honestly, as long as I'm not cramping or puking, I often totally forget that I'm pregnant! But the ultrasound today, where I actually got to see my baby, my REAL LIFE BABY! (!!!) really made it 'stick' that I'm a mom! Mister was a-MAZING and perfect, he was laughing and getting choked up, he kissed me about a hundred times. He was so happy he was glowing! I think his exact words were "This is the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me!"

The ultrasound pictures are so cool. I can see the baby already has my nose. The profile of the nose looks exactly like mine! The poor doctor tried prodding me in every direction she could to check the sex of the baby, but s/he just wouldn't be discovered. Next time, she said, it'll be easier to tell 'cause the baby won't have as much room to move around and also s/he'll be much bigger.

I let Mister take the ultrasound pictures to work with him so he could let all the ladies coo and shriek over them. As soon as he gets home in a few hours I'll put them up so you all can gawk.

I want to thank all of you for being so amazingly supportive and sweet to me in the last few months. Sometimes it's been scary, sometimes wonderful, and I couldn't have done it without ya'll. Thank you SO SO very much! I really love you guys.

XOXOXO

Meg

Once upon a time, a whole fifteen months ago, my mom was pretty drunk at Christmas and started talking about when she was pregnant (not a conversation I really ever wanted to have, I admit) and said that when I was born, she was "all like, fuck I'm a mother", her exact words. I'm not entirely sure what my point is, but...shit, congratulations. I guess it's your first, right?

Yep, my first! Ever since I have been sexually active, I have been stupidly strict about birth control, often using up to three methods (hormonal birth control, condoms and spermicide) because I felt I was too young to have a baby. After the situation where I had to have one of my ovaries surgically removed, I was tested as clinically infertile, and told I had almost no chance of naturally conceiving. Course...I didn't really -want- kids til I met Mister so it wasn't that big of a deal until recently. We're so amazed at this opportunity.

I'm SO happy for you!! ^___^ And I'm the same way about wanting kids. I never really thought about it or even knew if I wanted any until I met my Sweetheart. Now I'm like "Oh yeah, kids, all for 'em."
I can't wait to see the ultrasound pictures.

Isn't it funny how some girls change their minds when they meet a certain person?! I hoped one day I'd be a mom, I just didn't ever want kids with the men I was with before Mister. *laughs*

He'll be home in a few hours. I just hope we can figure out how to post the pictures with my camera cord missing! We might have to use his iphone instead.

ETA: Thanks!! =^.^=

 

[satindesire]

Okay, as promised, a new picture!

I'm now seven months along.
