"Just another manic Monday..."

[mrsholley1344]

I've been MIA for a while. My best friends got married on Saturday so things have been a bit crazy. Symptoms are fairly light still. I love feeling this little lady getting stronger. I can see some of her kicks and its crazy. She has not quite reached my ribs with them yet, but I can tell its only a matter of time. Right now I'm thanking God for the anterior placenta because no doubt that's why I think these crazy kicks are cute.

maddib sending positive healing thoughts for your DD. hopefully the new meds work and she's on the mend soon!

Thank you! I am hoping this "super" antibiotic helps. Otherwise into the hospital we go..

I severely dislike Mondays. I'm tired, I'm cranky, and I don't want to work. Come on summer break!!!

[missjenniebean]

Hope all of you who aren't feeling well and/or have sick kids feel better!

Those of you who are feeling good, yay!


I love all the movement posts! It is so exciting now that most of us, if no all, can not only feel but maybe even see! My LO has even been more active lately. So distracting!!

Monday is almost over and I am home from work, cleaned up most of the mess and am thinking nap tiiiiiime!


nettje, not sure how to really help with this one but I am hoping for you that she stops soon!

Just got a text from DH who said that the Giant (Local food store) that carries the specific type of pickles that I like is currently sold out... Not gonna like I got very sad for a minute... Guess ill be stopping at the two by my office when I get off of work tonight.

I am so with you. My grump-o-meter is off the charts today. I just want to go home and hide from work. My "summer break" will be LO's arrival but I am excited for that!

Any of you ladies measuring ahead? I'm 28w5d and measuring at 32 weeks. I measured ahead at my 24 week appointment as well. I go back in 2 weeks and if I'm still measuring ahead, my Dr said we will do another ultrasound to see if I am in fact, farther along than we thought. I know it's not uncommon to measure ahead, so just curious what you other mommas experiences are!

[erbear]

My PCP fit me in to examine my asthma and then had me freaking out because they sent me for ultrasounds to rule out blood clots. The good news is there doesn't appear to be any and baby girl's heartbeat is nice and strong (And she's getting enough oxygen).

I have to go to a pulmonologist tomorrow, though, which sucks. I'm glad they fit me in early so hopefully I can get answers! I need a nap from all the running around I've done today!

maddib - I hope you DD starts to feel better soon! Poor thing, I can't imagine how terrible that must be for her. And you.

Thank you. It's been pretty bad. I am hoping this "super" antibiotic helps and we don't need to go to the hospital. She would probably catch something even worse there. So far I have been able to wean her oxygen down a little bit so that's something. And I actually have a nurse today so I just got to take my first shower since Friday!!

And thank you to everyone that's been sending us T&Ps. It's so nice being able I vent on here and having everyone show such support!

maddib, I will keep your DD in my prayers. Does she have asthma? My DD has pneumonia currently as well. This is her second time having it in six months, so they are wanting to check her for asthma when she's better. Luckily, the breathing treatments have helped, but it is a nasty thing to get over! I hope your DD's breathing treatments work and you can avoid a hospital trip.

As for my random, I got a set of four Aden & Anais swaddle blankets at TJ Maxx for $19.99. I'm so glad I didn't pay $34.99 somewhere else.

This is completely random but we bought one of those iRobots at Costco last week and that thing is the shit. We have two very hairy pets and this things has kept the dust bunnies at bay. Best purchase ever. And both creatures are ok with it. They hate the vacuum but don't mind this thing.

It's my day off but I have one private client today. It's also 2 am here and I'm up with a 3 year old that has had a 103.6 fever, on n off, for 3 days now. It really sucks.

My LO has had the same issue since Thursday! I hope your LO gets better soon!

[omgtree]

I'm on bed rest and have been for the last month. Heartburn all the time along with those damn hemorrhoids. I so wish I could just get up and clean but I can't. My mom has come over after work every day except the two days my DH has off to help clean and take care of DD because I'm not supposed to lift her unless I have to. Got my weekly cervical check always fun but good news is I'm the same as I have been for the last 4 weeks so the strict bed rest is working! At this point I'm just happy to still be pregnant and still be at home. With DD1 I was in the hospital on strict bedrest and my water started leaking at 28 weeks.

[noeliav]

I finally sent DH a list of name possibilities for this baby. Eeeps.

DH wants baby boy to share at least his first name. Which is super-mega-awfully unique (and youneek, thanks MIL may you rest in peace), and which I am so not on-board with... We've already had several heated discussions about this, and he's been bugging me for a list for the last several weeks. I don't want to have any more arguments about it, so I've been procrastinating. But now it's sent. :: sigh ::

Also, DD didn't have her name until 34w at the earliest, so we have pleeeenty of time. Bah.

No asthma but with the tracheostomy and ventilator it's easier for her to get pneumonia because of increased saliva/secretions. She has chronic lung disease among many other things. And thank you! I hope so too.

Many t&ps for you and your daughter. I'm sure it is a challenge to keep the infections away.

Thank you! It is hard to do but we have managed to stay hospital free for almost four years. Here's to hoping we can keep that record going!

OBs office called today and I failed the one hour....plus they didn't send my grandma home after all and now I feel like crap. But in good news...I got my latest Montessori diploma today!

Ugh so it looks like DD may be coming down with pneumonia.. They are calling in a new breathing treatment and antibiotics. She is on higher vent settings and 5 liters of oxygen!!! She never need oxygen so this is huge!! And her oxygen levels are still crap!! If the meds and breathing treatment doesn't help today it will be to the hospital we go. I can't give her more oxygen here so if she needs more we will also have to go in. Last night and this morning has been hell. I am so tired of looking at her damn alarms watching the horrible numbers not get better. Sleeping on the floor next to her bed all night waking up every twenty min to suction and reposition her. I am done with this sickness crap!!!

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this!

I'm so sorry on both accounts! At least you got some good news!

maddib, thinking of you. That is a lot to deal with! Your poor LO. Praying that the oxygen helps and she recovers quickly!
