Glad you're feeling good. The pics are adorable!
God bless you all for saying I'm tiny at 200 pounds.
;)
Those pictures were at 36 weeks on the dot. Still ticks me off that my mW were making a big deal about his supposed largeness and my 20 lb weight gain. *****es.
My "honorary midwife" has been amazing. She is the homebirth mw we interviewed and I so wish we would have gone with. She has messaged me a few times a day and is staying on top of my BP and rest. She told me to go ahead and start pumping.... because BP just tends to trend upwards and she knows that a VBAC in the next couple days will be much better than a section next week.... So I pumped a bit today.
Good job, hun! You're going to do fabulously. Also, if you can find the time, have a little fun by yourself, IYKWIM. TMI, but I swear that's what kicked me into labour both times. lol.
And you sure don't look 200lbs!! You look awesome. You carry the weight very well. There is nothing gratuitous about it, at all.
Stalking you btw...
Amy those are AWESOME pictures!! I am hoping to get to Portrait Innovations this weekend for our mat pics. I'm so happy to see a real life quality outcome! :D Can't beat those prices, right?
Sounds like things are going well. I hope the pumping helps and you get some more progress here REALLY soon! :D

LOL! I have never thought of doing that!!!
Love the pictures! You are so cute. I'm kind of jealous you have a nursling to maybe help labor come for you. Of course I'd think about doing about anything right now...
I hope baby decides it's time to come out soon for you.
TMI---- Jorgie, I do that every day. ;) So far no help. I contract immediately following but it doesn't continue.
I got a high BP reading yesterday so went into the MW and made sure no proteins etc. But it was only 120/84 there so.... I just need to stop checking it! She did say for me to start taking tintures of Dandellion and Skullcap because she thinks I am stressing out? She said valerian too but I hate the way that crap makes me feel.
She checked me again to see if she could S&S just to see in case my BP is going up. But she said he was too high and she said I'm a TIGHT 3. But she said I could walk and not have to rest so we walked 1 mile to the park last night.
Ok, so do you think I could go two hours away. Tim's mom is in the hosptial and I'm not feeling like its coming today or anything ( baby will probably try to SHOW me) ;) Anyhow. I doubt from start to finish it would be 2 hours or less. I mean I know its possible but not likely right? I should have time to get to the BC?
OK I am just going to share this with you to make you feel a little better. When you say you bp is a little high, how high exactly is it? Mine this morning was 178/107. Yes that is correct. I have had high bp since about 20w. I am on medication. They just adjusted my dose to try and get it down. And yes I think I am stressing myself out which isn't helping. My mw is actually ok with delivering at home as long as my lower number is int he 90's or lower. The meds were just adjusted and it takes a few days for it to go down. For you I would suggest doing what you m/w said and adding in a calcium/vitamin D supplement. That can really help with your bp. Getting exercise can help too. And yes try and relax as much as possible. I know being a vbac is stressful. You have so many people putting so many negative thoughts into your head. But you CAN do this. I know you CAN. I am not trying to discount the high bp, because it can be serious but as long as you don't end up with pre-e I think you will be good. I am sure your m/w is paying close attention to you and watching you for signs. Hugs and good luck!!!
Thats pretty close to what it was Christy! It was like 167/107 at the highest. But I was walking around... which i know was stupidb
Which is why I freaked a little and went to the mw. Its high in the morning. Weird.
These herbs are making me feel icky! Just kind of blah and hungover.
I may back off the skullcap and see what just the dandellion feels like.
Hmmm ok that is pretty high. Meds this late might not even help because it takes a week or so to kick in. Try doing some meditation and possibly self-hypnosis. Seriously you mind is an amazing thing. Hugs to you! I wish I had more advice. And mine is always high first thing in the morning which seems backwards doesn't it.
