Hey girlies!!! how is everyone?!! Hope all is well!!!
The doctor said birth control should get everything back on track for me!! We are planning a big vacation to vegas in July so I am very ok with the birth control ! After vegas maybe i will get off of it and start trying again! I won't start using it until next cycle... I told hubby I am so excited about Vegas and don't want to be pregnant when we go, that this cycle will probably be when it happens! Hahahaha
I love reading about you lovely girls! I feel like after all these cycles I have friends in you all!! So I will most certainly be checking in very often!!

Yes I went when I was 23 or 24!!! I had soooooooooo much fun!!!! My husband and 2 friends that we are going with have never been though!!! I am so excited!! I want to leave earlier than July!! Hahahaha but that is when they can get off of work! This will be my first time ever to leave my 3 year old anywhere!!!! I will probably have separation anxiety!! Hahahaha I think it will be good for both of us though!! Where did y'all stay Meg???

We where suppose to go To The Rockibilly thing in Vegas for DHs Bday it's always his Bday weekend but it looks like we will have to wait another YR or 2!!!

It's fine I can wait !!!!

 

[Petzy]

Ash - I went in July both times - really hot but its great! I love it at that time of year.. and all the pools are open hehe..

The first time we went we stayed at the Aria.. it was unbelievable..

Then last summer we stayed at Caesars and we loved that too.. I would definitely stay at Caesars again next time its in the perfect location.

We drove out to the Valley of Fire one day which is about an hour away.. and that was the best part of the whole trip!

 

[crazy84]

My friend wants to stay at the Luxor.....but I am not sure I can! Hahahaha it is shaped like a pyramid!!! I was wanting to stay at Caesars!! Maybe I can talk them into that!! We stayed at the Flamingo and it was in a good location.....kind of in the middle!! I am just so excited!!

I've been to Vegas twice IMO its not all that it's cracked up to be. I paid $7 for an ice cream cone at one of the hotels there.

 

[OurLilFlu]

Hey ladies!

Sorry ash, what's all this with bcp? Was your cycle off? I must of missed it! Anyways glad to hear it should regulate things and like meg said, Vegas is probably a lot more fun when you can have some cool cocktails!! I've never been but I think it would be fun!
Natalie, hope the housing situation lightens up a bit but it sound like you've got it under control for the time being! I'm the same way I'd like to be the one doing the hunting!

Hope everyone else is doin good! AFM, we've been pretty lucky! Since night two at home we've always been able to manage at least 3-4 hour stretches at night for sleep the last two nights it's been 1130 ish til 5-530 when Kurtis leaves for work! So that's been nice. And one thing that's interesting is that we noticed that since almost day one Royen would hold her pees until she was wiped and had a fresh diaper under her and then she would let it flow, rivers I tell you! So one day I saw this post on my Edmonton cloth diaper FB group on elimination communication / infant potty training and decided to look into it further! Well yesterday she did 3 pees and at night 1 pee and 2 poops in the garbage can! Super success! Before that we had gotten a couple random ones so it seems like she's getting the hang of it! We're definitely not gonna go full fledged and go diaperless running to the bathroom at every sign but it is really awesome to be able to save a few diapers from being wasted ESP saving on the laundry! I'm pretty proud hahaha!

Quick update from me i will catch up on posts shortly, i feel like crap again, ive been very thirsty since yesterday and all food tastes like crap, dry foods like toast etc just make me think bleugh, i got the bus into town and walked to oh's and my poor belly the shooting pains i was getting was horrible, im still super thirsty, i sorta know i should be getting something to eat soon but the idea of food is offputting, im laying down with some water only a few shooting pains here and there, i feel rather tired and my legs are achy, i hope im not coming down with something,i plan to hopefully relax this evening. Its a bummer its oh birthday tomorrow so we were planning on chinese and tmi but i struggled to shave my lady garden haha the past 3 times ive cut myself because i cant bloody see what im doing anymore haha and since sex is never on my agender because it hurts now i was hoping to be able to surprise him seeing as we tried on sunday and it was the first time it didnt hurt im sorry for all this tmi info haha x

 

[crazy84]

Hey Talia!!! Yay for sleep!! Klaire fed on demand basically and was up every 2/3 hours until she was 15months old!!
I just always spot before my period!! So he said this should help to get that all stopped! I change my mind so often... So we will see how long I last on it! I will at least take it until it straightens out though!!

 

[OurLilFlu]

Oh Natalie, that doesn't sound like fun.. Try to find something even slightly appetizing but don't beat yourself up if you really don't get much down... I always found that I could go for a smoothie or soup, liquids were better for me rather than real food on those days... I also found that sex was the last thing on my list and it was uncomfortable most times or even painful. I feel like I've gotten my libido back but don't think my body is up for any of it just yet lol as for shaving, man it is a chore!! i ended up getting a wax at 38 weeks and i wish i wouldve just gone regularly throughout, so much easier! hope you have some fun for oh's bday

Ashley sounds like you have a good outlook for the upcoming cycles but I would probably be tempted to get off it every cycle, try to let it do its job lol Hope it straightens things out...they can do really funny things though so try not to read into it. When I came off of bcp my body went craZy and it was like a false pregnancy, I had every first tri symptom, more prominent than when I was actually pg!! Very confusing, but through waiting for betas and getting negatives it really made us realize that we wanted to actively try for a bub! Anywho! Good luck!

I would not recommend Luxor... its a dump to be honest and its really far down the strip - not at all convenient you will be so exhausted! yes the Flamingo is in a great spot - right across from Caesars and its been renovated so there should be better rooms now.. either Flamingo or Caesars would be perfect

 

[Petzy]

Talia - wow sounds like you got some good ideas over there with the garbage can haha!! Thats hilarious.. good for you and sleeping such long lengths... do you need to wake her up to feed in between then? or can she sleep that long? Good for you

I may switch to waxing too.. I have never done it before but may be easier as I get bigger..

Although DH is NOT interested in sex whatsoever which kinda bothers me but I guess I need to accept that it weirds some guys out... BAHHHH

Natalie I am sorry you are feeling like crap again.. this stuff aint easy.. do the best you can with the chinese - I often find that I feel sick and when I eat I feel better even if I didnt think I could stomach a thing... its funny how that happens.. enjoy xx

When I went to Vegas I stayed at Crowne Plaza one time and another time stayed at Excalibur

Ya meg, some ppl go with an actual little potty, or over a bucket, the sink or sitting with Lo on the toilet... Lots of Asian babies are 'trained' in this way and obviously all over the world there are plenty of cultures that don't even use diapers. It's an interesting concept for sure. It's worth a shot for us every diaper change cuz if she needs to go she usually does within a minute or starts fussing, no harm done!

Ya with pregnancy I found it really hard to not be on the same page re: sex with oh... Third tri was finally when we both felt in the mood enough that it wasn't so one-sided lol hopefully both parties are understanding, it's important.

Anywho, having a pretty lazy day, feed and sleep is all she does. Did some fun tummy time and had a nap. Mat leave is pretty uneventful! Lol I can't wait til Royen is more interactive, it'll be so much more fun!

Yeah, I wish it didnt weird him out... I thought we would have sex at least through second tri... it makes me really sad actually, we are used to lots of sex and its hard to stop that connection like that... I guess I just have to live with it and get back to it after the baby is born... I really wish it wasnt this way though.. depresses me!

I wish I had tummy time instead of work today haha... oh well, only about 8-9 weeks to go or so.... Unless I am let go first, i dont care either way.

Happy Friday everyone!!!!

14 weeks tomorrow..... still awaiting my facking Panorama results.. today is the 9 business day mark so I really hope that I get the results Monday latest.. this is just shitty!!

 

[OurLilFlu]

Ya I suppose I can't complain lol it is far better than work!! I can't believe they're still holding out on those results! It would be very frustrating. Have you talked to your oh about it? It's hard for sure, especially when you go from ttc, doing it all the time to nothing! I felt really guilty saying no to it a lot of the time, it just sucks!

 

[Petzy]

Ok... got my results FINALLY!!!

I will post the sex later; I asked for them to email me separately so that DH and I could read it together after work...

But the Genetic results all came back at low risk, which is the lowest you can get, across the board, so I am really happy about that.

Will give you guys the much anticipated gender news in a few hours hehe...

xx

 

[OurLilFlu]

Awww that's so exciting, glad you got it before the weekend and that everything was low risk!! Can't wait to hear the gender and the reaction from you and hubs! Cannot wait!!

And sorry I know it's tmi but its exciting to me, Royen has had a dry diaper for 12 hrs today, pees and poops in the toilet at every change and nap wake up! Can't believe it!
