1 day DPO and in need of buddies :)

Boy names are the hardest! I don't plan on telling anyone but of course you girls what we will name him. Well..... that's IF we have a name picked out by the time he's here lol
 
Oh Lindsay that's such a neat idea for the gender reveal! How do you pronounce Caellum (Cale-um?)? It's really neat that it'll be a boy, because they're so close in age. I know 2 babyies named Tripp, first time I was like huh? But now with the 2nd one, I kind of like it. Also, Trey is becoming more popular here. We liked Caeden, Easton and I liked Cayson (but couldn't talk Ryan into that one). Easton now has become super popular here, so it's not as appealing. I remember your family reacting negatively about Oakley's name---so if I were you I'd keep it a secret too! That way if people question it, you can reiterate how their reaction last time hurt your feelings and they'll know it's their own fault they are being kept out of the name decision.
Rach I like Kingston--even batted the name around a little bit. Khloe was always up more by my rips and that's where my pain/pressure/kicking was so I haven't experienced the "down there" pain. Must be a boy thing :)
Not planning to test at all because my post OV temps are really low the last couple days. Last time I was pregnant I hung around 97.9 and 98ish, and this time the highest has been 97.73. I think you're maybe right and I ov'd a little later---maybe CD17 instead of 15? That's a little high for my pre-ov temps, but who knows. Khloe's getting her molars, so she's back to really snotty and cranky. Hope it doesn't mean ANOTHER ear infection--seems to always have a correlation to her teething.
 
OMG Alyssa! Saw your temp rise this morning!! I can not wait for tmrw's temp! I have high hopes for you this cycle.

Kelsey i hope poor Khloe isn't too grumpy. Teething can't be fun. Praying for no ear infection. I hope you get pg this cycle. I am thinking you ov CD17 too. So hard to tell until it gets later on. You feel any different?

Earlier Andrew and i were driving down the road and some guy almost hit us. That split second of fear got the baby all in a funk. He was moving around like cray cray. Was worried because i haven't felt him all day. So in a way it was a relief.

So i guess my baby shower is going to be July 12. 2 months before he's due to come. That sounds about good, right? not really sure when you're suppose to have them, but i figured it would give us enough time to get the things we don't get. I was also thinking of going back to my hometown in New York and having another baby shower that my mom wants to throw with my family up there and some old high school friends. Just don't know if work will allow me to have the time off since i am right now on a 2 month leave. I go a week from today to determine when i go back to work :(
 
Kels - your temps are still looking good!! You'll have to test eventually! :P
I think the name Tripp is ruined for me because of the movie Failure to Launch. Plus, I think Sarah Palin's grandson is named Tripp and I like to stay as far from politics as possible!!! Caellum is (I think) pronounced like you spelled it! I like all your names! I don't think I've ever heard of Easton but there's a town near here called Easton so that wouldn't work for us.

Rach - we had my baby shower for Oakley in Mid-June and he came Late-July so I think that sounds like good timing! Have you started registering?? Picking out the crib was the most fun for me and I am still so in love with our crib. I'm excited to get it all set up again for this baby.

How's everyone else doing?? How you feeling Sam???

I'm doing pretty good - I feel like I still have yet to get my second trimester 'bloom' of energy - maybe that's just what happens when you chase a nearly 2 year old around all day :P
 
I was 30 weeks when I had my shower. May have been a tad early, but I had 2 friends go on bed rest before they had their shower, so they weren't able to have one until after the baby came! So I didn't want to chance it---plus I wanted time to get everything set up and organized. I think yours will be perfect timing. How scary---it's so heartstopping when you almost have an accident, I can't imagine actually having one. The other day I was stopped on a busy road waiting to turn, and I could see in my rear view mirror a car flying at us and I was just saying out loud, "omg, omg omg" and last minute she jerked her wheel and I don't know how she even avoided us. It was so scary!
Lindsay yes you're right, I think her grandson's name is Tripp! Can't wait till you girls pick a name, that's almost just as exciting as finding out the sex! Do you guys pretty much have everything you need for this baby from Oakley? I think for our next one I'd get a different swing, the graco one we had Khloe hated.
No need to test, AF should be hear anyday now! If I were PG, with these temps I don't think it'd be a good result.
 
Lindsay i'd like to know where that energy is at too. I haven't had any in months. I hate it because since having the surgery i haven't been able to do much therefore, the weight is just packing on. I haven't weighed myself in a month and i am scared to. Are you having another baby shower? I know most girls don't when they have their 2nd and it's the same gender, but my friend sold all her crap and now is pregnant again with another boy. So she's having one.

Kelsey you better get to testing! How amazing would it be that you are preg? Khloe looks just like you. She is a doll. Can not even believe you all have at least a 1 year old. Seems just like yesterday we all met on here!! You, Sam and i all met in that CBFM thread. Crazy!!

My sister's ex husband has a cousin that passed away yesterday. Her story is absolutely horrible. She was pregnant with twin girls and around 30 weeks she was having trouble breathing so her husband called 911. When she got to the hospital they found her lungs filled with tumors and did an emergency C section to save the girls. The doctors found out she had a rare form of cancer called Choriocarcinoma. It's basically a very rare form of placenta cancer. She got it from being pregnant. She was put on strong chemo meds and was induced into a coma and let the machines handle her breathing. She fought for 2 months and passed away yesterday. She actually was doing better. She had woken from the coma and was even feeding her babies, but got pneumonia and that weakened her crucially. So very sad for her husband and twins.
 
From what I hear Kelsey - every baby is different and you might want to hang on to your swing and see if baby #2 likes it! Oakley loved his swing but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this one hates it haha.

To answer both your questions, I think we have everything we need. I told my SIL and MIL that under no circumstances did I want a "sprinkle" regardless of boy or girl but they seem to still have it in their minds. I'm hoping the gender reveal party will have fulfilled my SIL's desire to throw one - and now I think she's planning a gender reveal party for her other brother's wife that is pregnant now too (due exactly 2 months after this baby). I'm so excited they're pregnant too as our kids now are only 6 months apart and the new babies will be about 2 months apart - so perfect! Just keeping my fingers crossed they have a boy as well :P
I think we have everything - car seats, strollers, pack 'n play, crib, changing table, dresser, swings, play mats, and an uncountable amount of clothes. I will still end up buying stuff but not much. I want to get a few more diapers since we'll have two in diapers plus my cloths are all in one sizes which is great for like 4+ months but the first three months are tough because they're just too big!!

I saw your post about that poor family yesterday and it had me in tears - that's just so devastating!! Absolutely terrifying!!
 
Omg Rach-is that the story that's been all over the internet-he is a marine?! I've been kind of following it and was devastated when I read she died!was she ever conscience enough to meet the babies? I love the baby names, ESPECIALLY Kinleigh, would be in the running if we have another girl.
I would be thrilled if we were pregnant, just started feeling that way recently. This is the only month for the rest of the year that the Chinese gender calendar predicts boy for us! But, I know I'm not this month.
 
I always loved McKinleigh for a girl. And yes it's the story about the Marine and his wife. Oddly enough she was related to my sister's ex husband. Very crazy. Small world. I have everything crossed for you. Hope you get to have a boy!
 
Gosh girls, my temp today is totally throwing me off!? I seem to be fighting a cold though, so maybe it's that?! I don't have tests at all so idk. If my temp is still there tomorrow, I think I'll pick some up. But, now that I'm letting my mind think about the possibility, my temp will go back down tomorrow. Seems to always work that way...Idk, no sign of AF though which is weird.
Oohhh Rachael I really like McKinleigh!!! I think McKinleigh McCulley though would be too much....but you've got me thinking about it! Wouldn't that be something if you were responsible for Khloe's middle name (remember, you came up with LeeNa!!) and our next baby's first name?! And I totally forgot about you, me and Sam meeting on the CBFM thread! I paid so much for that thing and now it sits collecting dust with my expensive sticks for it!
 
oh, and on a side note--last weekend we were getting a swing set/jungle gym for Khloe---and my MIL said before leaving, "Kelsey, if you're pregnant, don't be straining lifting all that". I was totally offended and was like wwahh? Why would you say that, I'm not pregnant! and she was just like well just in case you were, just wanted to tell you not to lift stuff. Would be kind of crazy if I was, and I guess I'd owe her an apology for being a little snippy :)
 
Haha oooo I really hope your temp is still up tomorrow and we get a positive test out of you! That would be so awesome! We'd all be pregnant together again!! :) You can't use your expensive strips to tell if you're pregnant?? ;)
 
Still no O for me. Called the doc today, going to do more bloodwork. I have an appointment for May 21. Feeling pretty down still, I may stalk but not update much. Too rough to deal with pregnancy this week.
 
Yes, 97.45 and 97.18 are always a pre-o temp for me and I still haven't had a true positive opk. :-(
 
Oh Alyssa...I really do feel awful for you...nothing more I can really say besides IT'S NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!
AFM---I've been non stop thinking about it, and I bought tests on my lunch. But then I started thinking, I used to always take Vitamin B6 and have periodically since then because it seems to help regulate my cycle and help me OV earlier. I took it this month, and I bet it's just really lengthening my LP....googled it and seems very common. Kind of bummed!
 
Hi girls,

Alyssa - oh hun I am so sorry this cycle isn't working out the way it should. I hope the bloods show what may be happening. As Linds said in a previous post another girl on here Mel got scanned and monitred and then trigger shots after the clomid to jump start ov, is that something they can think of doing?

Kels - I didn't even realised your were ttc again - so exciting. Your temps are looking mighty fine. I took b6 to lenghten my lp but even still 14dpo is loking great!! I hope Klhoes new teething doesn't result in more ear infections or that is is short lived with the new grommits. How is she getting on?

Rach - lots of great names being mentioned. I feel really bad that we haven't really though much more about it. We are both off next week so get the other room sorted that will be B's new bedroom once new baby goes into the cot (probably not for the first 6 months though) so will think about packing the bag and names etc!! Is Andrew getting to feel the movements? Even now mine are so sporadic and not consistant Oh hasn't been able to get kicked yet. As for the weight don't worry too much you'll get it off agin once baby is here, we did it once we can do it again!!!

Jess - loved the pics of Isabela on the boat, how cute was she!! and you looked great too!!

Hi mar.

afm - B is into climbing up everything he can even me!! We have started to do 1 nap consistantly which is proving a bit difficult as he just won't sleep for more than 1 hour at home although the nursery say it more like 1.5-2 hrs with them grrr. but then won't do 2 naps anymore.
 
Good Morning, Ladies!

Alyssa - I'm so sorry, hun! I will be in San Diego when you go to the doc but I'm going to keep everything crossed beforehand that you O on your own in the meantime and the doc is just confirming O! I can only imagine how frustrating this is for you and I really hope it comes to a happy ending sooner than later!! Do you go to a fertility specialist or a regular OB? I believe Jess had better luck with a specialist - if I remember correctly!

Kelsey - I'm too early for your temp this morning! I'll check back when I get to work! Did you test last night??? Even if the B6 is lengthening your cycle, your temps are still looking really good!

Sam - We're moving Oakley out of his room for new baby as well. I feel bad as he'll be moving into a smaller room but we can't put the new baby in the smaller room as we couldn't fit the crib, changing table, rocking chair and dresser in there. Plus, it seems silly to move everything when it's already set up! We've been looking at beds for Oakley and I think just getting a new bed will be exciting for him. Have you thought of a new theme for new baby? Don't feel bad about names - Kirk told me last night that he's thought of an awesome name but he's not going to tell me until the day baby G is born so that I will be desperate and say that I love it and use it!!! :P Ugh how frustrating!! So not how I work haha

Jess and Mar - hope you ladies are doing great :)

Rach - how's your hips doing? By the end of my last pregnancy I felt like my legs were just going to pop out of hip sockets, it was pretty awful but even though walking hurt - I felt better at the end of the day if I walked around a lot that day, so try to keep moving but not too much!

Anyone else I missed - Hi!!
