Thanks guys!

Nothing yet I'm having some little contractions that show up on the NST but def. not labor. Oh well.

I go back on Friday, depending on how my amniotic fluid level is, they may do the c-section Friday. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Wishing you a easy/uneventful labor Susie! Keep us updated!!

I'm wondering if any of you moms can help me. I'm having a problem with my toddler, she's 19 months now. My daughter hasn't always been a good sleeper but I was able to get her to sleep in her crib for most of the night. She'd wake up once or twice during the night but go back to sleep. Now she's waking up every two-three hours screaming. Not a whine but screaming at the top of her lungs and nothing is working to comfort her. I'm finding that she's waking every two three hours and screaming at the top of her lungs. Nothing is working to comfort her. I'm getting to my breaking point. I'm getting less sleep now than when she was an infant. I'm wondering if she could be having night terrors. Anyone had/have this problem? Any suggestions. Insight?

Is she teething? Hana does this periodically. She will wake up screaming every hour for two or three hours when she is in the throws of cutting a tooth. I give her a little tylenol and that helps.

New Orleans. Sounds like night tremors. Zaid went thru it. Sometimes he would scream and part of me would think he would still be half asleep because he wouldnt open his eyes. they came and went and he hasnt had one in a while. I would do my best to comfort him during them but as much as he wanted me to hold him, he would fight it. I normally just tried getting him a cup of milk and putting him in my bed.

Funny thing....I think Zaid is probably getting sick bc he woke up last night after sleeping for only an hour and was crying. He came into my bed and cried and whined and I think I acidentally fell asleep. Well I woke up about 25 mins later and didnt find Zaid in my bed. He actually put himself back into his bed by himself and went right back to sleep..My little boy is getting so big.

Definitely sounds like Night terrors or separation anxiety, My son had it from 8months- 2 years. It didnt happen all the time but occasionally he would wake up screaming bloody murder, he kept his eyes closed and looked like he was still asleep if I rocked him around for awhile he eventually would settle down. I took him to a doctor after the first few times of this and they told me that some children have bad nightmares even at that age, also that he might have had some separation anxieties. He is now going on four and hasnt had any problems in quite sometime. Just try to comfort him and unfortunately there is no way to stop it from happening although in my case sometimes he would have to wake up before he even realized he was yelling.

Zak is beginning to walk. He walked from the table to the living room chair without prodding last night. So...I will have two walkers soon!

OMG...we need a banana plantation and a cow for how much milk and bananas we go through right now!

I flew with my two boys to Puerto Rico and they are twins, so I needed a double stroller. If the rules are still the same with AA, you don't check it in, you bring it right to the plane and they hold it for you for when you get off to make it easier.

Ok ladies,

Yesterday I had my one hour glucose test and I failed The level was 172 and the cut off was 140. I'll have to go back next Wednesday to get the 3 hours test. I talked to my in-law and she think part of the problem was that I had a big plate of fried oyster and frensh fries right before I went to sleep the night before the test and that all the carb made the level so high. I dont know but I really hope it's part of it. I gained less than 5 lbs last month and my midwife likes it. Also my blood presser is still the same as before (in a good healthy range) and my baby measured normal.

I did the research for GD and found that Asian are at a higher risk to develop it (also type 2 diabetes) so that scare me!!

Another bad news is I am anemic. So I have to take iron supplement and eat more iron rich food...

So if I have GD, my baby will be big, but I also anemic, which means my baby will be small.. (if left untreat) it's kinda ironic isnt it

Just stressing right now.. looking up GD diet and it's going to be hard since I dont follow western diet... I'm going to have to play around with it if I need to.

I haven't done a glucose test yet--I'll let you know the results (I'm Asian too).

I'm also anemic and on iron supplement too.

Now I'm stressing right along with ya!

Hopefully the 3 hour test will come back better. I know a lot of people (myself included) who failed the one hour but went on to pass the 3 hour (or its equivalent...I had to do blood glucose home monitoring since I was on pretty strict bedrest). My perinatalogist had me freaked out because I had pre-eclampsia. With pre-E the babies lungs tend to mature more quickly. If I had had GD, it works contrary and there would have been a chance for respiratory immaturity (and we were already worried I was going to deliver extremely early). Anyway, just try to keep a positive outlook. I know how hard it is to do!

Oh wow, you don't even know how lucky you are !!!! Ben cannot even sleep alright in our bed, let alone his own. He starts out in his own bed for 3,4 hours then gets up and refuses to stay in his bed and then from 3am til 6 am wakes up every 20 minutes. He is going through the same night tremors as Zaid. when you were describing it, I thought you were talking about Ben. He doesn't open his eyes but he screams really silly things like "donkey, donkey" or "schoolbus is coming" I try to hold him and to calm him down but it always takes a few minutes for him to realize what is happening and that he is still supposed to sleep.

Are you still on facebook Kelly? I meant to post something on your wall the other day but couldn't find you. You didn't de-friend me, did ya? Zaid is getting so big, I really have to update a few pics of Ben.

I'm really excited for Ben's 2nd birthday party. And easter. He is finally kind of understanding the whole thing. It's going to be so much fun!!
