Thoughts?

All day yesterday Noaln barely moved. At 1 am I got up to use the restroom and then did a kick count…for 45 minutes he didn’t so much as flutter. I woke Hubby up and we tried to find his heart beat with the doppler, we found it but it was really hard to find [...]

38 Weeks (tomorrow)

[According to the Dr's dates at least. Again, according to mine, I won't be 38 weeks until Sunday. ]
ANYHOW – I should have mentioned on yesterday’s post that I do NOT have pre eclampscia – though I appreciate the concern. =)
They checked me for it over and over at the hospital and again today at my [...]

::Whimper::

 
These are what used to be my feet. They are so swollen that I can stick my finger in the flesh and it leaves a hole. I’m like human play-dough. I have no idea if this is normal or not, but I have an appointment tomorrow morning, so we’ll see. The swelling is actually throughout [...]

Big Update

Remember that pain in my side I was complaining about? Early Thursday morning (about 3am) I woke up SCREAMING in pain. It was one of the worst pains I have ever felt and Hubby took me straight to the ER (my mom had not yet left for her parent’s house, so she stayed with the [...]

#$%&!

I know how horrible this is going to sound, but I am so FREAKING miserable I don’t know what to do anymore. I am on the verge of losing it.
I am in so much pain in my hips and ribs that I can’t sleep at night and I can hardly move during the day. I [...]

Kindness

I have to post a quick blog about how much I appreciate all of you.
I would have never believed, at the beginning of this journey, how good of friends people could be when they have never even met face to face.
I have had people send me preemie hats when my girls were in the NICU. I [...]

Ding, Ding, Ding!

As of today, Nolan is OFFICIALLY full term!
If you are looking at my ticker, I set those based on the date I think that I conceived, not on the date that my doctors have given me via ultrasound (which have been very consistent). Though, honestly, I think my dates are still probably correct since we only had [...]

Amnio Results! (for real this time)

They finally called this morning. They did not find any sings of trisomy 21 or anything else of concern and he is 100% boy!!
I was so sure that we were having a DS baby that this hasn’t sunk in completely just yet.
I would be lying if I said I wasn’t relieved. I have worked with [...]

Amnio Results:

Oh.
Did you think that I would have those by now?
Yeah. Me too.
Effing hell!
So I called on Tuesday (14 days post amnio, the very LATEST they told us that the results would be available) and they told me to call back on Thursday because that was the earliest that they would be in. So I called [...]

Nolan Prep

I have been asking Hubby for weeks to please get a dresser out of storage and to rearrange furniture to make a spot for Nolan. Every weekend it was one excuse or another.
Well this morning, after Nolan almost making a grand entrance TWICE in the past few days…Hubby was a nursery prepping maniac. In fact, [...]
