A Gardeners Forum Forums Members History Forum Life 2006 Update on Jenn and baby

Thinking of you today Jenn and hoping your Dr's appointment goes well!

Just got home a little bit ago. I'm really tired. They did a little poking and now I'm a little sore. They did all the tests they need and I talked to the anestegiologist. They will do a spinal because that is what is best for the baby. I'm finding myself extremely nervous about next week now. i'm not really sure why...probably the spinal. Anyways, I need to take a nap.

Jenn, all of our prayers are with you. Please try and relax- I know, a spinal is a hard thing not to think about. I suggest talking to your husband; they can be great therapy! We'll all be thinking of you!

Jenn, Going into a spinal is difficult. I am glad that things went well though and that the surgery is on. Sleep well and remember you are in our prayers.

When you're there, think happy positive thoughts,
*HONESTLY, I've had 2 of them..*
and that's what I did, and believe me,
I concentrated on happy thoughts...

Mine were because I garden and love the outdoors, I thought of green grass and the smell of a fresh cut lawn and the whispery warm summer breeze that gently washes past you and sunshine and watching butterflies.. and hearing kids play at the park and giggle.... that's exactly what helped me.. put your self somewhere's else and you'll be over it in no time flat*

Best wishes Jenn and I will keep you in my prayers! I'm sure everything will turn out great and you will have a beautiful baby in January! It is hard to think of that now but once the baby arrives you will look back on it and it won't seem so bad!

Jenn sent this last message to Jiffy,
She's at work *Jiff* and I'm passing it on to you all here....

hi there,

just wanted to let you know the surgery went ok.
the spinal anestegia wasn't too bad.
i'm having just a little pain and a tiny bit of bleeding.
i'm very tired.
i slept 16 hours after steve brought me home.
i'm typing with only 1 hand as my other hand is very sore from the iv they had in me.
baby is doing fine and steve is taking good care of me.
please let everyone on the forum know all is well.
i don't know when i'll be up to actually getting online to talk to everyone.
thanks.
i'll talk to you later.

Thanks for the update,Weezie. I'll definately be keeping Jenn and her baby in my prayers.

Good news that she is doing fine! I'll continue to pray!

Thanks for the update...thoughts and prayers for Jenn

Now that is good news!

So glad that the surgery went well. Thanks for the update. Continuing to keep them in my prayers!

Thanks for keeping us up to date. Continued prayers for Jenn and baby. Sue

Thinking of you Jenn. Prayers for all.

Fell better quickly Jenn!

thank you weezie & cindy. i'm planning on calling jenn in the next few days, so i'll have another update then!

Adding my prayers also

updates?

Yup....doing good. I haven't been posting because I'm really tired and don't think I'll be able to really keep track of threads and such. I've been popping into the forum from time to time to see what is going on though. I've been layin on the couch during the day and have noticed that my legs are beginning to loose their strength. I'm allowed to shower every 3rd day and I'm totally exhausted after I do that. The standing really kills me. I have very little pain and feel no pressure or anything of that sort. I go to the dr. every other week and they do an ultrasound at every visit. Thats all for now.

I'm glad to hear from you, Jenn, and continue to send prayers and good will to you!!!

You are a wonderful person, and I know you will be a #1 Mommy. Take care of yourself as I know you will and know that we are all pulling for you!

Jenn,
Could you get something like this...
pulley excercise cords
and get a tiny bit of movement??
and a couple of 2lb dumbbells, for easy lifting..

Just an idea..
*I know how hard it is to be in bed, trust me,
you get all achey just from layin' there..
and you wwwwant to get out so bad, but you can't..
those things above might just give you enough movement and occupy/fill a few minutes for you here and there.

ooohhhh, just found a really colorful stretchie things and progresses in strength *for later after the baby maybe* Colored bands

Thanks for the update Jenn and continued prayers for you and baby

Jenn, It is so good to hear from you. Sorry that the bed rest is taking its toll on your body. Praying for you and the baby daily.

Aww My prayers are also being continued for you and the baby, Jenn! Soon you will have a bundle looking up into your eyes and all this will have been worth it.

Take care of yourself and that precious little one,Jenn

When is your due date? Do you know what it is yet?
