April Belly Blossoms..September

[Denise K.]

Ok, I thought I would start our new month! Have not heard from some of you in a few days, I hope all is joyful for you.

Well, today my dermatologist called with my labs and biopsy results. My liver and kidney levels are just fine, and the bioply says I have PUPPS. I read about it and wondered but I had some rashy spots even before I was preggo and it says that usually you do not show signs of PUPPS until late in pregnancy and I have had it since day one! Crazy...so looks like I will be itcy and have this hivey skin for 4 more months. So odd that I never got this before, but then I guess it is true that multiples can do a number on you.

Denise,
With all the horomones that they have us take I'm sure it must wreak havoc on the "normal" standards of when things can come up during pregnancy. At least you know what it is now, do they have something that will help/cure it?

AFM: I feel huge, its been hotter this past 4 days than it has been all summer and I'm feeling miserable. We are headed up to Mammoth this weekend, temps are supposed to be around 60, I'm so looking forward to it! Babies are doing great, kicking and punching up a storm, and using my bladder as a punching bag it seems.

Denise my Chest has hives all over since getting pregnant I didnt think anything of it till now. They come and go, not to itchy but itchy enough I scratch it.. I hope you get some relief soon. My next Dr appointment is next week at 24 weeks, then not for another 4 weeks after that. Im feeling huge and not so cute but oh well Ill have to work extra hard when its all over with. In the mean time Im going to enjoy every single fat moment I have with these two little guys Thanks for starting a new thread!

I am here...thought I bette check in...I had been sick for 2 weeks with a cold that turned into an upper respiratory infection, that turned into a sinus infection, that then turned into a bladder infection....UGGH! I am on the mend though....THANKFULLY!

I am 21 weeks 3 days today and all is fine here...Little miss didnt want to move a lot sunday and part of monday and had me scared, but she has been an active little booger now My next OB appt is the 10th of Sept so I will be sure to update then, OH and I have had to gain something cause I feel HEAVY!!! As of last appt I was only up like4 or 6 pounds...CRAZY! Anyway thats all for now...

[flirl]

I haven't updated in a while, so here you go!

My UTI is officially gone! Yay!! The nurse called Monday (6 days after blood draw and culture) to tell me that yes, I had a UTI and I was on the right medication. Um...no DUH!! Sometimes I wonder about these people!! I feel enormous these days and wonder how I will handle getting even bigger. I look like I'm close to delivering a singleton! We are very busy these days with the kids back in school and my daughter in gymnastics and my son in soccer. Today we have both, and the gym isn't air conditioned. It's been about 105-110 here, so I was dying on Monday sitting in the gym sweating like a hog. Not a pretty sight!! They also have chess class after school, so today is going to be very busy. My awesome hubby is meeting us at the gym and hopefully he'll take the kids to soccer so I can go home and sit in the A/C. Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good. No nausea, heart burn is kept at bay with omeprazole, just tired and some headaches and I feel huge!! One of my surro friends from our support group gave birth to twins on Monday...I'm so jealous!! I can't wait to hear her birth story. Well, that's about it I think. I hope everyone else is doing great and feeling good!

[Mommy_2_3]

I had a stomach virus yesterday... almost had to go into L&D because I couldn't tell if my stomach cramps had turned into contractions or not. With my organs being displaced, it really was hard to tell. They hurt so bad!! Embarassing and painful Now that I am feeling better, I am trying to eat as much as possible, seeing I lost so much yesterday. Poor lil baby She behaved well through it all

I'll update our list this afternoon. Thanks for starting a new thread Denise.

[Surromom2bee]

Dang seems like we have all been SICK....with something...

[siblingformegan]

Lacey has not been feeling well either, but she is getting better. Our last appointment her UTI was gone and our next appointment is September 23rd. She goes for her "sugar" test, so we will be there at least an hour.

Otherwise, everything is going great!

[Mommy_2_3]

I know that we (my family) always get sick around this time... I'm blaming it on the back to school germs

I'm sorry to all who have not been feeling well... it sucks especially bad when you are preggers!

[Denise K.]

Flirl LOL, I feel so huge too, and my husband is just amazed he thinks I do look like I have looked at about 7 or 8 months preggo with a singleton. I am so glad your infection is gone. I totally understand about the gym being hot... my daughter has gymnastics 3 days a week and two of those days are 2 hr classes and yep hot in there, but saves on cost I am sure. Plus she had a competition last week and I was sweating and you could see a ring of sweat on my armpits of my shirt...yuck.

Kristine Not much they can do about the PUPP that I have but but I am going to start taking an oral steroid to see if it will help. The steroid creams have not been working. How cool that you are going to go to some cooler weather, I know is is so HOTT here in Houston!! I understand feeling huge...I can not bend well and my belly is oh so tight!

Tina I hope your rashes go away and not a big deal cuz this that I have is so not fun and annoying, grrr! Yes, I am going to have to work hard after this pregnancy too, I have already gained 25 pounds!! You look so cute, so do not worry about feeling big!

Cheryl Sorry you had been sick, not fun at all I am sure. My throat is very sore today and that is usally the first sign of either a throat infection or sinus infection for me...I hope I am not sick!

siblingforMegan I have to do my glucose at my next appointment too, it is on the 24th...I hope Lacey gets to feeling better.

I'm sure others will chime in with some appt. dates (at least, I hope... that section is lookin' a lil naked!! )

I will update it again tomorrow after everyone gets a chance to check in again

And, thanks I love keeping up with everyone!!

[Denise K.]

I have 26 week appointment and ultrasound on Sept 24th And a 3D u/s on Oct 6th


You rock and I like the decision you made , sorry I did not get back to you on it...me a dork!!

[specialk]

Hi girls!!!! I'm still the slack updater! I read and read, just can't always keep up with the posting. I am sorry so many of you have been sick. My children decided to share the pink eye around the house for most of the summer which thanks to hand soap, I never caught! I am feeling great, my only complaint, is the excess boobage! Now is when it starts to be a problem, when 'they' and my abdomen fight for their space.

Otherwise, had my regular o/b appointment yesterday and all is well. Next appointment is September 29th when we do the lovely sugar drink!

[ktbmom]

I am so sad so many of you have been sick- I know why everyone was MIA.

Denise- So glad they have given a diagnosis. That always makes it seem better somehow.
Nicole- The angels and the message are lovely. I am glad you added it.
AFM: Nothing much going on here. I am feeling pretty good, other than no bending, turning, laying down comfortably. The babies are moving so much now, I feel confident they are safe and snug, so I have no worries.
I eat like a COW. I think I am gaining like 2 pounds a week. Between eating all day and running to the potty between almost every class, I feel like I am making life difficult for everyone at work. I can't imagine how bad it will be in another month, or two, and dare I think three and four? Mom, like someone else said, thinks I look about 7 months along.
THings are crazy busy. Hope everyone stays healthy and has a great week! We are getting a round of flu at school and I am desperately afraid of H1N1 and pregnancy.

[flirl]

Want to add my OB/ultrasound on 9/18? Sorry I forgot to say when it was!!

Updated with the appointments. Thank you ladies

[mamato3]

Sorry I'm late on updating on my upcoming appointments. My Sept.8th appointment got canceled and moved to Sept. 15th they are doing a big u/s and a cervical check. And then I have a OB visit on Sept. 23 and GD test. I'm doing good getting bigger and have lots of kicks. My IP's lawyer just sent me my copy of the birth certificate papers to take to the hospital just in case they didn't already put them in my records.
