I am supposed to be induced on June 30 but am kind of hoping that I go into labor before that, which could happen. I am going through (well, the baby is going through) lightening, dropping lower into my pelvis and putting lots of pressure on me. Plus I... Thu, 19 Jun 2008 16:09:56 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/1072732 I will be 34 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I have been going to the OB twice/week since I hit 32  weeks because I'm high-risk and being closely monitored. Balancing work and doctor appointments and family/friends time and errands is draining me. I wonder if I'm this tired now ... Fri, 23 May 2008 10:08:47 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/1035159 I am 31 1/2 weeks now and feeling so damn tired, my bones ache. I don't sleep well or through the night, guess I need to get used to this because when the baby comes I will probably sleep even less. But, the good news, even though I have been so sick during this pregnancy (three rounds of bronch... Wed, 07 May 2008 12:25:33 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/970682 I am beyond tired today, actually this whole week has been tiring. Full caseload at work (though my supervisors threw my two pregnant coworkers and me a baby shower, which was lovely), not sleeping well because I have to pee several times/night and my husband snores horribly, and now (fina... Fri, 11 Apr 2008 11:36:30 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/905196 Wow, what a busy weekend. Spent saturday with my husband, we hardly see eachother during the work week so that was nice. Went to Babies R Us Sunday and ordered our nursery set (my sister is a doctor and bought it for us as a gift). My sister also gave us lots of things she saved from when she had he... Mon, 17 Mar 2008 10:56:41 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/831871 My DH and I basically made up, this is the same fight we've been having for ten years (ever since his family fell apart, beginning with his father's affair) and maybe things cannot get resolved. Maybe we have to agree to disagree. He can have very little to do with his family, and ... Mon, 18 Feb 2008 10:36:54 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/824640 Had a huge fight with DH. His parents are manipulative, self-destructive, self-absorbed and pretend that my DH and I fell off the face of the earth. My DH forgives them for all they have done, makes excuses for them, and allows himself to be manipulated by them. I do not. My DH wants to change thing... Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:43:50 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/805672 Wow, these past few days have been rough. Two days of throwing up all food and liquids, fainted Wednesday morning while getting ready for work, hospitalized and rehydrated on an IV for seven hours, diagnosed with another respiratory infection and a UTI, now on antibiotics. . .but at least I'm on... Fri, 08 Feb 2008 10:44:17 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/794704 We're having a girl! I had the anatomy u/s today and we found out the sex. She's healthy and that's what matters! I was so sure it was a boy during my first trimester, then I started second-guessing myself. . .anyway, we can tell the world now, and plan for the future. . . Mon, 04 Feb 2008 13:55:30 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/748617 I had my 16 week U/S this morning and everything looks okay. The doctor says the bleeding I had after sex was cervical, normal and nothing to worry about. I did tell the doctor that if I have to abstain from sex or from crazy, wild sex at some point in this pregnancy that is not a problem, anything ... Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:33:49 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/742284 I haven't been on DS for quite some time but decided to get back on it. I'm 15 weeks pregnant now and have another ultrasound Friday morning. I had horrible morning sickness, mostly at nighttime until week 13 and then it went away! I can actually keep everything down now. Work has been very ... Wed, 16 Jan 2008 10:30:35 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/652909 Well, I'm 10 weeks now. Started bleeding again this week. Bled the whole week of Thanksgiving. Will it ever end? You're not supposed to bleed when you're pregnant! Anyway, I had a great weekend. My twin brother was in town so we had a lot of family get-togethers. My sister also told me t... Mon, 10 Dec 2007 10:50:31 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/640118 It's been awhile since I posted. I was in New York for a week and aside from two long delays and lost luggage on Contintenal Airlines, the trip was good. Got back and got another respiratory infection (on antibiotics again). Threw up everything I ate and drank for three days straight too. Just f... Tue, 04 Dec 2007 10:37:45 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/608052 Monday, Monday. Back at work after a fairly relaxing weekend, except for feeling nauseous for the past two nights. Just feeling tired, hopefully tonight I can sleep because when we're on vacation in New York, we never get any sleep. Maybe I'll fall alseep on the plane tomorrow night? I'm... Mon, 19 Nov 2007 12:35:02 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/601920 I saw and heard the heartbeat! 127 beats per minute! It was the most amazing and reassuring sound I've ever heard. My mom was there with me and we were both crying. I got my first baby picture too. Oh My God! I thanked and hugged my fertility doctor and she medically released me today to see my ... Fri, 16 Nov 2007 14:02:14 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/601243 Okay, I am truly exhausted. Barely slept last night, always wake up around 4:30 in the morning, like clockwork, and can't fall back asleep. Sometimes I'm nice and let my husband keep sleeping, other times I wake him up and make him hold me or talk to me or calm my fears, worries and anxiety.... Fri, 16 Nov 2007 08:42:37 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/598894 Well this has been a very stressful week at work, and I know I need to control my stress level not just for myself but for my baby. I am just overwhelmed with troubled clients and trying to help all of them wears me down. Plus I need more sleep. The good news is I finally stopped bleeding, which is ... Thu, 15 Nov 2007 09:05:56 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/589559 Well, my birthday party is three hours from now, having about 25 family and friends over to celebrate. I'm still bleeding, not heavy, no pain or serious cramping and my doctor reassures me that I'm okay. But how long will I bleed? My husband was in the mood this morning, so we "got toge... Sun, 11 Nov 2007 12:56:50 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/585699 Last night was rough, my DH and I barely slept. But the good news is I went to the doc this morning, had the ultrasound and found out that I am STILL pregnant. Thank God I did not miscarry. Today is my birthday, could you imagine losing your first baby that took so long to conceive on any day, let a... Fri, 09 Nov 2007 15:09:05 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/94357/journal/578360 I'm defineately excited and nervous about the first U/S. My diabetes is not well-controlled despite testing like crazy and using my insulin pump, and my fertility doctor told me early on that I would most likely go into preterm labor or face prenatal complications if I conceived multiples, so sh...
