    I like the 'sun roof job' phrase as well. Hey, welcome back Chery! I missed your little smilies, how are you?
    Just out of curiosity, do anyone know why I keep having period-like cramps. It started over the weekend and has been getting worse since, now it just feels like I'm going to be starting my period very very soon.

    You do a good job at incubation and nourishing, so we all understand you dear. Give that boy a nice rub and a tickle for me, and millie a hug!

    Posh is when a woman gets another woman to do all the work and take the end-product home... so that's not you - you just know and accept your limits.

    Getting off the 'pregnant' subject.. how are the kittens and Ben?

    Kittens and kids will be kittens and kids.

    Having 'the man' around all day can be a problem because sometimes they act worse than kittens and kids.. but a good man is sometimes worth the troubles.

    I hope the car gets fixed soon too. When they are broke, it's like missing an arm or leg and can make the whole family feel stressed. I don't drive anymore, and miss it, but have learned to live without because it's only me and my cat and I can call Jaime on emergencies. Once advantage to that is I can sit in the back and smooch with my grandson and he can't get away because he's belted in his seat.. ha.. ha.

    Hey, girlfriend... how have you been?
    Sure would like to see more of you in the 'garden'. I visit there most because my time is sort of limited lately.. too many other things to get done.
    Hope all is well with you and your's.

    Everything is going as well as can be expected... The house is coming together finally the twins are walking now. I have them, nine cats, two dogs, one tarantula and one hubby and all the warm fuzzy feelings to go along with it... then I wake up to the stress... lol. I wouldn't change it for the world...

    Oh and I forgot to mention the partridge in the pear tree...

    How are you doing hun?
  • Nov 12, 2007, 10:00 PM

    So glad that you remembered that partidge... ha ha.

    What's it like chasing after two new little walkers?

    Jaime has enough with just the one. He's wonderful and I am so proud. He likes going up stairs now, but still difficult getting back down. They are moving into a new house where the bedrooms are on floor two and three, so he will get a lot of practice, and so will his mom (she wanted to loose a little weight again anyway). He gave me the tour of the new place on Sunday, ran around all over and rattled off as if I knew what he was talking about, it was so funny.

    Getting a CT on Wednesday to see how far the adenocarcinoma has spread and maybe I'll find out for sure how much longer I have to enjoy my grandson to the fullest. I plan to enjoy the remaining time to the fullest.

    How about we email sometime.. at [email protected], if you have the time to catch up and maybe share some pictures too..

    Its trial and error Rank I'm afraid if you find something that works stick to it I never suffered so I can't really help.

    Hey Myth, good to see you back you have been missed. Rank, sorry about the morning sickness but I don't know much about the pregnant pops. Nothing really worked for me when I had mine so I can't suggest much either except to try to eat before you get out of bed (if possible) so that you don't get too hungry and not to eat too much. Plenty of fluids so that you don't get dehydrated, can't really think of much else at the moment hope that helps.

    lol... rank - I know it sounds gross... but Find the food that taste the best coming back up (arby's)... LOL... and stay away from citrusy things until its passed, if you value your esophagus (sp?)

    Hope everyone is doing well... I was just diagnosed with SPD today. At least I know why I have been in so much pain lately. Did/is anyone else suffer(ing) from this? My doc told me there wasn't much that could be done other than increasing fluids and rest and taking tylenol, but I still have 6 weeks, and the pain is excrutiating at times... anyone know any tricks or anything? I can't find much info out there...

    Really suffering today I'm 7weeks and 4days pregnant since 5pm I have been feeling so sick (not actually been sick) had diarrehea (sorry to be gross) and have to sit down at times as it feels like the room is spinning at 100mph lol
  • Nov 16, 2007, 04:20 PM

    Lol... now I don't miss that... I suggest plenty of water dear, and rest as much as possible. Saltines help.

    So the diarrehea thing is normal??
  • Nov 16, 2007, 04:22 PM
    alkalineangel
    That could be from something you ate... I wouldn't associate it with the pregnancy per say... stay hydrated and if it lasts longer than a few days call the doc to be sure, but I don't think its anything serious.

    That's OK then was getting worried there for a min, it seems to have gone now anyway the only thing getting to me now is having a headache from the minute I wake up in the morning until I go to bed but suppose you just have to think what your going to get at the end of the 9 months
    Got my scan date for the 12th dec can't wait to see the little one
  • Nov 16, 2007, 04:30 PM

    Good for you. You can take tylenol (acetemenophine) for the headache... its safe. Good luck on the 12th!

    Just had a moment to log on and say hey to everyone. I have heard good things about the preggy pops, by the way. It's worth a try. Anything with ginger, or that's high in protein. Will help with the morning sickness. I used beef jerky. They say that carbs will actually make it worse now. Can't remember at the moment where I heard it. As soon as I do I'll let you all know. Well it's been a long day and I'm still not done. So love you all and I hope tomorrow is a wonderfully pleasant day for you and if not the day after will be different... not better just different. Night.

    I was diagnosed with SPD at around 24 weeks and I can understand what you're going through. With mine, I had to have some physio and was given a few exercises to try which consisted of using more of my stomach muscles when getting in and out of bed. The other thing that helped was putting planks of wood under the mattress, the hard surface seemed to do wonders for me. Also when turning in bed, I found it easier to sit up first and then turn. I don't know how bad your SPD is maybe if you give me more details I maybe be able to give you a more specific advice.

    Hey Mrs curlyben, I'm good how are you doing? My babies are coming out very soon and I'n a bit anxious, I've had minor surgery before but I don't know what it would be like to actually be awake during a major surgery, do you have any tips? How's millie and the hubby, are they behaving?

    You don't feel anything other than them tugging you about hunn the bit that scared the out of me was the needle in the back for the spinal block, ben said earlier today though that seeing me get cut open was bloody vile and he isn't looking forward to seeing that again.
    I will be having theo by section and I'm not feeling to bad about it to be honest wish they would do it the week after christmas but that won't happen unless I go into early labour that is lol.

    *edit* Be prepared to move about the next day it's the best thing you can do it hurts there's no denying that but not for long they give you good drugs ;)

    Thanks for that Myth said something similar about afterwards as well so I must keep that in mind. I completely forgot about the needle part though! I'm strong, I can handle this. If I can handle the steroids shot I can handle the needle in the back (she says bravely), hubby refuses to be anywhere near the doctors he gets queasy at the sight of his own blood so he's sticking to where my head is and will not look away from me. I'm at that point now where I can feel every bit of moving that they do and it feels like they are moving a lot more. How's Theo doing?
  • Nov 21, 2007, 01:26 PM

    Seems fine I think got another scan next Thursday. Hunn the steroids are absolutely nothing lol I had double doses for millie ;) I just have a real thing about needles in my hands and they have to put one there for the drip after its not nice the back is fine just stay calm and don't bloody move lol.
    At least this time I won't have the from hell giving me the section my god I hated the man sooooooo much thankfully he is no longer with the hospital lol.
    I will say if hubby is squimish for gods sake write in your notes you want the twins cleaned up before they pass them over shudder its yucky otherwise.

    Lol there are some doctors that are just irritating aren't they? There's this midwife at the delivery suite at my hosp that I just don't like and I hope she won't be anywhere near me on the day she gave me my first steroid shot and it pained like hell but my second shot from a nicer midwife was much better, might get hubby to take care of that part he's good at that! I forgot about cleaning up the twins before they hand them over, I have to tell them about it just before going in the midwives aren't very good at reading notes. Good to hear about Theo, has he found your bladder yet?
