Hi all, I'm Beth's SIL. She is in the hospital with her arms full of beautiful babies so I told her I would post.

Gus Kevin and Oliver Ray (Gus and Ollie) were born last night at 10:20 and 10:29pm. yay.gif Beth's BP had been high earlier in the week and her doctor said if it didn't go down with medication he'd admit her and induce her on Friday, and that's what ended up happening. She was able to deliver them both vaginally and everything went beautifully! When I talked to my brother at 11pm he said they hadn't even gotten their weights yet because they had been nursing pretty much since the minute they were born. Yay!!

I'm sure she will post pictures when she can, and if she can't I will do it for her.

Best of luck to all of you with your impending deliveries! Not too much longer now!! :awesome

Ah...I got to spend a whooooole 4 hours away from home with my girlfriends. It was fantastic!

A couple of weeks ago, my sweet DH kindly offered to watch Adehla while me and a few friends went to dinner and a movie (New Moon). So last night, we went to On The Border for a couple of happy hour margaritas and dinner. After, we headed to the movie theatre -- which by the way, was MADNESS!!!! -- to watch the movie. It was great, for those of you wondering. I feel like these movies always give me a little disappointment b/c the books are so much better, but I enjoyed it anyway.

I got home to find my precious Addy on her daddy's chest...both sleeping. I put her between DH and I on the bed and went to sleep with her until she woke up to be fed. I have to admit, I had a lot of fun last night, but by the end of the night I couldn't wait to come home to my little family. :heart

On a random note: I saw a lady with a 2 week old waiting in line to see the movie. How crazy is that? :lol

Hi ladies!

For the past few days, I've been getting really sharp, shooting pains right under my pubic bone. They last a second or 2, but I get them several times an hour.

Everything I read about round ligament pain describes these shooting pains in the abdomen. My pain isn't in my abdomen, but much lower.

Part of me is concerned about it being my cervix, and I'm a little paranoid that my D&C could have weakened or damaged my cervix.

I don't have another appointment until the 2nd, so I'm trying to get some answers in the meantime, at least until I can call the office on Monday.

Anyone? :\

For those of you with really refluxy babies how are you sleeping them?

I had been side sleeping my lo on a wedge but it wasn't enough so I started sleeping him in the bouncer or swing because he would wake up choking and not seem to be able to clear it. He is sleeping better and doesn't seem to be choking a bad. The other day though my friend was like that is really dangerous it increases the chance of SIDS. I wonder though which way is more dangerous having him choking and not able to clear it or sleeping him in a swing.

What would you or do you do?

I was allergic to the PIO injections so I was given oral progesterone and a higher dose of progesterone suppositories. These were made up by a compounding pharmacist and look like large waxy bullets.
I suspected they were not dissolving completely but didn't realize it was as bad as it is.
When I went for my transvaginal ultrasound they could not pick up anything and I suspect it was because there was a wall of undissolved suppositories.
Aside from placing my suppository every day I didn't poke around in there much.
After the ultrasound problem I did check and it feels very impacted and I can't really even get at it. My questions and worries are as follows:

1. Could this cause an infection if it is not removed.
2 Should I go to my RE or OBGYN to have this removed.
3. In the mornings I do try to clear some of the undissolved suppositories, but do you think it is causing any harm to be poking around in there?
4. If I need to have it removed can it wait until Monday?

Thanks in Advance.

Hey eeryone,

This has been a bad month, I don't think November is for me. I have had one complication after another and it's just getting old.

Well my doctors (both the regular and OB) told me not to fly East this Thanksgiving due to the complications. I am so bummed but I know it's for the babies' best interest, just stinks.
I woke up with more bleeding today, going to the doctors on Monday to check everything out and make sure everything is ok.

Please keep us in your thoughts, I hope December is a better month.

This has been one rollercoaster ride of a pg, that's for sure! The latest is that I caught some nasty virus from my younger DD (who was quite ill for about a week and a half) - I started coming down with it a week ago yesterday. I am still so congested and think I may now have a sinus infection (never have had one so not positive). Well, Wednesday, I went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned (and found out I will need a couple of crowns, hopefully after the pg - bummer). Anyway, Thursday my jaw and mouth was a bit sore, but not too bad. Yesterday, I woke up with a lot of pain on the right side and decreased ability to open my mouth - I thought it might be related to the fact that I can only breathe through my mouth and I am keeping my mouth somewhat open all night long and possibly clenching the muscles at the same time. Last night, the pain started on the left side and was so bad that I couldn't sleep well - I took Tylenol which didn't help much. I can barely open my mouth now which makes eating and tooth brushing extremely difficult, and the whole left side of my face is sore and slightly swollen. I am very worried that if this gets much worse, I won't be able to eat any solid foods (can barely fit them in my mouth right now) - not great with Thanksgiving right around the corner. Figures, it's Sat. and no chance of seeing my doctor, etc. until next week! I sent an email to my friend who is a dentist - I am hoping she can take a peek this weekend to give me some advice, etc. I have no idea if it's some sort of infection, acute TMJ dysfunction, or what the heck is going on! Sorry for the rambling post - lack of sleep is doing me in! :P

I am so disappointed right now! I just registered with FF and entered all my data, and it seems that I had misunderstood the whole charting and when you ovulate thing. whoopdedoo.gif

I had my timing all wrong, and if FF is correct I already ovulated on the 17th!!
And I thought for sure that I would be ovulating either yesterday or today.
I planned around these two days. Needless to say, I feel like crying because I mixed everything up like this. No wonder it is taking so long for us to conceive. We are not BDing on the right days.

This is so frustrating!

If you could live anywhere besides where you are now, where would it be and why?
