Hi from South Dakota

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Hi my name is Kelly. I'm expecting my first baby ( a boy ) at the end of Oct.(Oct. 31st) I've had a lot of pre term labor issues and have been on bed rest since June. I had an emergency cerclage placed June 25th to save the baby I was 21 wks and the doctor’s goal was just to get me to 24 wks and have a viable baby. I'm 34 wks now so I've done much better than expected which is great for baby. I still have my cerclage in place & it is supposed to be taken out Oct. 5th but doctors believe I will have the baby before then. It's really hard trying to get ready for baby when I'm only allowed to be up to go to the bathroom. My Mom is here so I'm going to make a list of things for her to get done & have her get my bag ready for the hospital.

Some of my interests are scrapbooking, reading, cooking, and working out. I am going to try & make some of my own cloth diapers so I guess that's a new interest. Also, managing money & living on a tighter budget will be a new interest.

Just wanted to say hi. I hope that everyone is doing well.

Kelly

If you have time please vote on my baby name poll we are having a hard time deciding.

Welcome I'm Melanie, and I'm in Sioux Falls. Expecting my 4th (a boy) about the end of Nov, supposedly, though *nobody's* going to be real surprised if he shows up a little earlier.

The other 3 are boy, girl, boy age *almost* 6, 4 in January, and 2 on 11/7.

We also started cloth diapering with #3. I've nursed the younger 2--22 months for DD and 18 for DS2, they naturally weaned with each new pregnancy.
My oldest I exclusively pumped for 6 months.

hmm anything else interesting related to this board....bedsharing with all the babies up to a little over a year each.

And I've been a SAHM for nearly 4 years now, since DD was a few months old, so while I'm far from knowing *everything there is to know* I have learned something about living on a tighter budget.
