Ians Mommy Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I had another appointment with my OB today. I've been having them weekly now and although it's getting annoying in a way, I love them because I am reassured that everything is okay and my baby is fine. Sooo... I've only gained 17 lbs. my entire pregnancy which isn't a lot. She also says that my stomach is only the size of a 25 to 30 week gestation but that Ian is actually pretty large for 38 weeks. It has me kind of freaked out that I am so small from what she has said but she constantly assures me that everything is fine. I'm 30% effaced and about 2 and a half centimenters dilated, meaning I could go into labor at any time now! She is convinced that if I do go into labor, everything will be normal and he will be fully developed which I am really happy about. It's only a matter of 2 weeks now until I can hold my son in my arms and see his face for the first time. I am so excited that I can barely sleep now and Ian is pretty much the same way. We stayed up half the night last night just talking about the most random stuff. It's been a month and 2 days now that we've been married and I love it. We are so much closer than we were before we married. I never thought it would be possible for us to be any closer but it definitely was. It also makes me smile knowing that in some people's eyes, my son won't be born out of wedlock. It doesn't mean much to me about someone born when they're parents aren't married but I'm just personally glad that he isn't going to be. I nearly got the shock of my life yesterday. My grandmom called me! My heart started racing when I saw her number on the caller ID and after a few rings, I finally answered it and all I heard was her crying her eyes out and asking if I could ever forgive her. I dropped my phone and picked it up again and I told her the truth. She hurt me but I would be able to forgive her over time. I went up to visit her today before my appointment and she gave me a huge hug and held onto me and asked everything about the baby. She asked me if it was a boy or girl and when I told her, she walked into her bedroom and handed me a HUGE bag full of baby things. She had bought a million things for both a boy and a girl yesterday because she didn't know what my baby was. I'm really happy that we're back on good terms and that she'll know I still love her. Anyway. I'm exhausted right now from not sleeping very good all night and being 9 months pregnant. It really beats you after awhile. This will probably be the last one before you get to see BABY PICTURES!! image removed Link to comment

Ians Mommy Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Thanks everyone. It really means a lot to me to hear you guys say things because I know your not "obligated" as I can most easily put it to say nice things because you're family. It's probably emotions talking now haha. Link to comment

Dilly Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 You really do look great!!! How much did you gain? Your arms are nice and slender and your hips look good too!!! Yay for you for having a normal sized baby in a small belly. That's dreamy. Anyway, everything seems like it's getting better by the day. Tic goes the clock and with each one, the time gets closer for you to hold baby in arms!!! YAY Link to comment

Hope75 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Hey Dani, Love the pics! I can't wait to see pics of Ian! Remember- you don't have to be a hero during the delivery. Pain management or not, epidural or not, everybody still ends the scenario with a baby! Hang in there, and keep us updated! Glad to hear you and your grandmother are back on good terms, a baby has a way of doing that.... Link to comment
AwdreeHpburn Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Iansmommy - I too have been following your posts for a loooong time now it seems. I am VERY excited for you and to hear how things went. Don't worry too much about the lack of weight gain or the size of Ian. You are a small person. You'll have a small - healthy - baby. I know the next couple weeks will be busy for you and for sure much busier after, but I hope you'll find a way to keep us posted. Best - -Theresa Link to comment

Glad to hear you and your grandmother are back on good terms, a baby has a way of doing that.... As of right now, I'm planning on having an epidural.

I was very skinny when I got pregnant. I've dealt with bulemia for years and I was only 102 lbs. when I found out I was pregnant. Otherwise, I have a VERY large bone structure so I'm not so sure... Don't worry, I'd never leave you guys for a long period of time. I'd miss everyone too much. Link to comment
vandgsmom Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I just saw your tummy.... HOW CUTE!!!

I am so excited for you! Link to comment

aymee_lee Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Thanks for the updated pics. You look gorgeous. I am glad you made up with your grandmother. That's just one more person on the ever growing list of those who love you and Ian and Ian! Fantastic! xoxo Link to comment

QUOTE] It's nice to hear that you accept that you had a problem before and hope to keep some of the baby weight. I was too thin before getting pregnant as well (115 lbs and 5'6) and don't want to focus on being thin when I'm a mom. Here's to being healthy and loving our mama bodies! Link to comment

I'm 5'4 so I was really tiny for my height. Now looking at pictures makes me sick to think that I did that to myself. You could see all my bones sticking out and it was just gross. Link to comment
Ians Mommy Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 Does anyone else think it's kind of weird that I'm going to have my son on the same exact day that I lost my virginity? I just realized that earlier. It's definitely a weird coincidence I think. Link to comment
coollady1957 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Wow your tummy has grown !! How cute !!!! I know you are excited that little Ian will soon be here. I can remember how I felt 25 years ago when I had my first baby. I can't wait to see pics of the baby. Be sure to take lots of pictures. They have a way of growing up so quickly, right before your eyes. It seems like only yesterday that mine children were tiny babies, and they are now 20 and 25 years old. You were mentioning the amount of weight that you have gained ,,,,,,,,, and I remember my mom told me that when she got pregnant with me, that she weighed 120 lbs and was 5'8'' and she only gained up to 134 pounds in 9 months. I was born at a healthy 7-lbs-13- oz . Good luck and take care girl. I hope the best for you and your husband on your journey as parents to little Ian. Babies are one of the most precious things in life. Treasure every moment. Link to comment
Ians Mommy Posted October 16, 2006 Author Share Posted October 16, 2006 Atleast I know I'm not the only one that is still so small and has gained this little. Link to comment
