Re: PG/Mom Check-In
Hi! I don't think I did the check-ins very often since I was always so swamped at work. The girls are doing well - they started sleeping through the night late last week. Abigail is a little lighter in weight, so she gets a little fussy around 5-6 AM, but a pat on the back settles her right back down again. I feel like a new woman!
We started some baby oatmeal (they've been getting rice in bottles for the GERD), but stopped it on the advice of the our new pedi (who was my pedi when I was growing up!) He suggested waiting until they were at least 5 months old since they were preemie. I wanted to wait until 6 months, but they seemed like they were hungry all the time, they are interested in what we eat. I am super afraid of allergies, though, so I think I will hold off on anything else until 6 months, especially since my mom has a minor wheat allergy.
They are starting to be so observant! When we would wear them, they would rest against our chests. Now they are pushing up against us, and looking around at everything. It is so funny to watch them look from left to right to left to right.
I used to be very active.. not sure if people would consider me active now but I am often on here lurking and catching up on everything, and I do sometimes post especially if I have something worthwhile to post.
So anyway, my EDD is May 22nd, 2012. Still really early but I have my 8 week appt. next Monday although they think I am 8 weeks already.
Also, if we are friends on FB, don't post anything yet please. Only our close friends and family know. Thanks!
Congratulations!

I had 1 appt. at a new Dr. I didn't like her, so I have another 1st appt. with a new Dr this Friday. Hopefully, this will be the one. I hate shopping for drs.

yay, Shawna!!! congratulations! So happy for you : ) Have a H&H Pregnancy : )
As far as my update, sometimes i feel better but anything I eat thats fried makes me real sick to my stomach and vomitting is basically the only thing that will make me feel better so I've been staying away from greasy food as much as possible. KNowing what to eat is still a mind game, I cant wait for this morning (all day) sickness to go away : ( I did learn to drink lots of water before I get sick though it helps a lot. Other that that things are doing well : ) DH raps to my belly lol its funny and really cute.
Congratulations!!! I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy! And your due date is my mom's birthday
The baby and I are doing well. We met with the pediatric orthopedist last week and it was so great to get all the information about clubfoot. I also really liked the doctor, and I feel very comfortable with her treating our daughter. I'm so happy we have a timeline and know what to expect now.
The baby is kicking and rolling up a storm now. It's so fun to feel her all the time, but it's getting uncomfortable when she kicks on my bladder or stomach. And I think we're closing in on a name, so that's exciting!
Congrats Shawna!!!
We are doing well. Yesterday started my 3rd trimester! Today is our glucose test, I'm nervous because baby enjoys her sugar and I'm not really in the mood for a restricted diet right now. I have terrible heartburn pretty much 24/7 so I'm going to talk to the Dr about medicine at our appt today. I also feel like maybe the baby is too low? So I'm glad I'm going today so the Dr can reassure me, which I'm sure she will, it's just that I hear stories about baby getting behind your ribcage but mine is moving wayyy down near my pubic bone still. I think I'm doing everything right - balanced diet, vitamins, almost a gallon of water a day. I'm glad the appts will start being every 2 weeks instead of 4 because it seems like by 4 weeks time I'm nervous anad worked up about something. Welcome to motherhood, I suppose!
When I saw you posting on here I thought "Yay, Shawna!!!!" Woo hoo! Congrats!!
Zoe has been screaming her head off at bedtime the past 2 nights. It has taken her 2 hours to fall asleep! I think it is teething, separation anxiety, and being hungry, or a combination of all 3. She has suddenly taken to solids so we are getting more aggressive with feeding her them now. I hope this bedtime thing is short lived. I hate hearing her so upset!
OMG I didn't know!! Shawna that's FABULOUS!!! I am so thrilled for you!!!! Congratulations!
congrats shawna!!
i finally hit the 37 week mark- which feels great not being considered "preterm" anymore... baby moves a TON and ctx's are definately more frequent and stronger.. friday night they were 5 min apart for about 2 hrs- but nothing that felt like pain so i knew it wasnt a labor thing... i feel ready though for when it does come, still in major nesting mode and starting to get things completed and put together
I updated your EDD info. All "little people" are on the bottom section of the list, so you've been in both the PG and Mom sections all along.

congrats shawna!!
Yay about pulling the goalie, but boo to the UTI!! I hope you feel better soon and that your not not trying pays off soon
Congrats Shawna!!
I had an appt on Friday and I'm not dialated at all. So bummed. Hopefully this thursday i've made some progress. I'm ready to meet my little coco puff!
Nothing really to report here...just waiitng.
Congrats Shawna!!!!
Kennedy is doing good. She's going through a non-sleeping and non-napping phase, but at least she's happy. So it's all good. She's eating more and more. Including shoving whole flour tortillas into her mouth and going face first into plates of rice, in restaurants. She loves to go to the park and swing. Oh, and she's starting to look a little shaggy. I have to put her hair in pigtails, to avoid her bangs being in her eyes.
omggggggg Shawana!!!!!! That is awesome!!! Congrats!! When do you plan on making it known to the world? How are you feeling?
awww! You should tape him rapping to your belly so the little one can hear it once s/he is bigger!! The kids in my class are always talking to my belly!
Would you like to share your name ideas?
Well I posted my exciting news over the weekend!
I go back to the OB in like 2 weeks. I'll be calling his office tomorrow to get the results to the US and just make sure that everything was fine.
I am feeling pretty good. Just very very tired.
I started keeping a journal last night. Is anyone else doing this?
I'm officially due with bebe #2 June 6, 2012. However, I will most likely go in for a scheduled c-section at 38 or 39 weeks, which would be late May.
so I'm still really early (almost 6 weeks) and I'm an anxious mess. Praying that I don't develop pre-eclampsia again and praying for a full-term pregnancy.
first u/s is October 19.
telling my parents and sisters this weekend (they are coming into town for Olivia's 2nd birthday). Please no mentions on Facebook.
extreme fatigue + full time job + 2 year old + husband working till 7:30 = one very tired mama.
