Feeling much better, about the new baby

16 years ago

I just wanted to thank everyone for the kind thoughts and prayers. After finding out that I do have a baby and that it is in the right place and no other problem I am feeling much better. I have come to the conclusion that this was a miracle and meant to be. The doctor wants me to be off my feet and to take it easy for the next 3 months to prevent a miscarrage. I haven't had any trouble in the past but I want this baby so much and don't want to do anything to risk it.

I have been having back problems since before my first pregnancy and have only gotten worse since, so I am going into the Chiropractor tomorrow to see what we can do. I think it will help a lot. Another thing is doing prenatal message once a week, which my dad told me he would pay for. I am also going to have a day season with a friend of my sis that does yoga to learn some stretching and relaxation techniques. I have been doing some for the past few weeeks and I think this too will help.

By looking at this as a miracle and knowing that this is the last chance for a baby for DH and I makes the shock wear off. We have decided not to find out what the sex is, it is going to be a long 9 months ( I am less than a month pregnant) and it will give me something to look foreward too in the long months to go:)

Again thank you for all the thoughts.

Maybe I'm just sleep-deprived from two young kids, but I haven't laughed that hard in so long. Thanks for posting!

check out your contract as well, because most building agreements have a completion clause or penalties for being late. perhaps this is something that could motivate them to coordinate with you? i don't mean that you should threaten them-- i understand that you don't want to take action against the builder, and that is admirable-- esp because he is ill right now. but it is always important for both sides to have their situation understood. you never know what kind of compromises can be made...even when it seems like everything is a done deal. it sounds like a challenging situation all the way around and you are doing your best to get through it one day at a time. in the end, you will be in your home and all of this will eventually fade...replaced with loving memories you've made in your home. new construction is tough on the psyche without all of the extra stuff you're going through. hang in there! it's almost over.

Oh man....how on earth do they expect to sell that house with a kitchen that looks that horrible?? I'd be interested in that house because it has 2000 sq feet & almost 3 acres of land with some mature trees on the property. The really awful kitchen is a bonus from my POV because it eliminates about 99% of the other potential buyers.

Your optimism is becoming and very commendable. I applaud you, and I'm happy for you and your little pin head. Why do you say it's the last chance? I'm wondering how you can be sure it won't happen again. Are you planning another procedure?

I know the feeling, at least parts of it. That is, when I got prego w/#4 I hadn't had my tubes tied, but it was still unplanned. And it came at a very busy time in our lives, right in the middle of relocating. At the time our kids were 2, 4 and 7. I cried for a few days feeling inadequate for the job of taking care of everyone.

But later I described it as feeling like I'd won a sweepstakes I didn't know I entered. I didn't know how much I really did want to do it again until it was happening.

Gook luck, take care, I'm sending good thoughts your way to keep you and baby healthy.

We are planning another tubal ligation and DH is having a vasectemy. The reason the Dr. recommended the tubal in the first place is because my broad ligaments supporting the uterus have stretched out and haven't gotten back into shape. Last time my baby belly was pointed down at a 45 degree angle. Also my upper muscles and ligaments are about shot, which caused me contractions for 6 weeks with everyother day monitoring at the hospital. The doctor told me that she was pretty sure that my body wouldn't handle another pregnancy and that this should be my last. So will have to be careful the first trimester. Also going to Chiropractor, prenatal Message, and Yoga this time around, hoping to get my body ready or at least be able to learn some relaxation techniques.

My Dr. has been out of town since I found out last Wednesday, I go in and see here Thursday, boy will she get a surprise:) I am going to ask for a discount lol. I did ask the other Dr. in the practice and she said that my tubes were both tied and then cut, so this baby really wanted to be a part of our family.

Looks like s/he really did!

Good wishes for a reasonably uneventful pregnancy, given the circumstances, and minimal discomfort for the coming months.

That is incredible! You are an awesome person, Stacie. I'd still be in bed gibbering if we were expecting baby #4. And people think I am the queen of overkill because I'm planning on getting a tubal ligation and Jason's getting a vasectomy. I'll have to tell them it's not such a silly idea now, although your baby was definitely meant to be! There is something special waiting for that little guy/girl!

Congratulations!

Good for you! I also like that you are waiting until it's here to see what your having. I like the element of surprise. It's so normal now for everyone to know before it's born.....I remember wanting so bad to know what my 3 were and the doctors wouldn't tell me. Now I'm glad they didn't. Congratulations....to me every baby is a welcome miracle!
