I am due August 7th, but we are thinking of inducing a week early. I have an ultrasound this week to measure the baby and see if we should, or just wait and go naturally. I am scared of that since Jada was a week late.
The second preganancy is much different.... I don't think about it 24/7 like i did the first, and it just flew by! Which is a good and bad thing. I am just trying to enjoy my time now while it is just us and Jada since I know things are going to be extra busy soon!

Thanks you! I am very excited.. and ready to have this baby! Jada is doing wonderful- she is such a joy. I am excited to give her a sister!
She is gettting big- although she has always been big. She is in the 100th+ percentile for her height. (and weighed 9lbs. 14 oz. when born)
I am just struggling with getting things ready this time around. I have the nursery painted and bedding bought, but now am second guessing it all and have new stuff ordered where I will have to repaint! I did do this with Jada too! Oh, gotta love the hormones! (I think it's the hormones )
We are having a hard time with names... that's why I came back to the board. I just can't settle on anything and I feel like I am running out of time. I only have 3-4 weeks to decide!

Hey ladies...

Once again it has been forever since I posted! I am looking for your opinions... I am due in a couple weeks with my second girl and can't decide on a name. My first child is Jada Marie- who is 17 months. The names we have as of right now for this baby are:

 

Mya Elizabeth

Jenna Elizabeth

Kendra Elizabeth

 

But we can't settle on one! What do you think of them/ which one do you like best Thanks for your help!

Hey ladies....

It has been forever since I have posted, so I don't even know most of you.

Anyways, I am wondering if any of you have looked at the Chinese baby gender predictor, and if so, was the predicition right? I don't believe in stuff like this, but coincidently enough, it has been right for everyone I know!

 

Please let me know if your results were right or wrong!

Thanks!

It has been forever, so here are some recent pictures of Jada.

 

 

Hopefully you go naturally over the weekend then, right?!
Not to scare you.. but I went a week past my due date, and Jada was 9 lbs. 15 oz.! She measured big pretty much throughout the entire pregnancy though. I ended up going into labor 2 days before my induction date.

Just want to say congrats to all the ladies on here. Jada is almost 6 months old! Time flys twice as fast after the baby is born- let me tell you!

I was very gassy! I couldn't control it either sometimes!

Thanks everyone... she is a doll. We couldn't be happier!

I see that now... I thought it was low lying, not previa. I am sure all will be well either way!

I also had this- a low lying placenta, and it had corrected itself I think by 30 weeks or so. I was on pelvic rest up until then too- no sex, lifting or anything! I think about 95% of the time they correct themselves.

Here is one picture after we got home:

 

 

Hi ladies...

I have to be very quick- but am happy to report Jada Marie Selly was born Friday February 6th at 11:01 am. I went in around 12:30am because my water broke, contractions started about 1:00am, around 7:00am I broke down and ordered the epidural, started pushing at 9:00am, and she was born at 11:01am.

 

Now, for the crazy part! She was 9 lbs. 14 oz. (at birth- thank goodness for the epi. ) and 20.5 inches long! She was a big baby! She is very precious and beautiful, and we could not be happier!

I am uploading a picture now.. so it should be on here soon.

Hope all is well!

 

CONGRATS Mo! Sounds like you had a smooth delivery! He is adorable!

It must be my computer! This is what I get:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.
What you can try:
Diagnose Connection Problems

But obviously I am connected! I haven't had any other problems!

I hope so too! I am so bored! There isn't much I can do since it is like 5 degrees out. I just sit cooped up at home waiting for baby to come!

My bad.... Sorry Ladies, I should have never brought it up. I honestly just wanted to know what other people were doing since I am so in the dark about the subject!

Is your website working? I copied and pasted the link, and it doesn't work for me.

She supposedly swept my membranes today, but being only dilated to 1, I don't think it will work. It didn't feel any different than a normal exam either for me.

Congrats Mo! I am jealous! So much for nothing going on!!

 

I just got back from the doctor and I am only dialated to 1, and 50% effaced.

So, I go in for stress tests Friday, and if all is well I get induced on Tuesday- that is if it doesn't happen naturally before then!

My doctor doesn't want to induce, so she is going to let me go until the 10th. I am not happy about it since I have been done with work since last Monday, but I have been told that if I should wait and see if it will happen naturally since it is usually an easier birth. I have heard that when we get induced the labor lasts longer? This is my first, so I have no idea! I just know I can't talk my doc into inducing sooner.

So does it look like I dropped, or am beginning to?

The blue pants was taken at 39 weeks, and the green was today at 40 weeks. I have an appt. tomorrow, so hopefully I will get some encouraging news!

To me it does look like my belly is beginning to "sag"!

 

 

I haven't got any stretch marks on my belly, just a few on my bottom. However, I have gained 48 pounds!

That is my 39 week belly photo... as you can see, I don't think I have dropped at all!

I am sorry... I have not posted any photos. I just took these but the colors are way off. But, you should get the idea. The nursery is kind of small so I couldn't get any good angles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anything happening with you Mo? Not with me... I went to the doc on Tuesday and same as the last visit- high cervix- no dialating. She said she wouldn't induce me until the 10th either!
