Hi carlie! actually, with my fertility specialist for ivf they gave me m first scan at 7 weeks with a 135hb and we heard it transvaginally. BUT when we went in to hear babys hb on the doppler for the first time it did not pick up and scared me to death! SO we immediately went over to get a viability scan and were told we were not aloud to hear the heart beat early on on abdominal scan, but we saw it pumping and baby was okay with hb of 156. Now we will try doppler next tuesday, hoping it works this time!!!!

carli-your daughter is adorable.

AFM, im on cd14 today and went to my ob/gyn appt today. I had my annual pap smear and talked about the effects of birth control and everything. She wants me to come back in March. She wants me to wait until month 4 to see if my AF is going to regulate to showing up on week 4 of the BC each month. So im hoping that my AFs regulate to showing up on week 4 because if it does..that mean im going back to a 28 day cycle I had some spotting after the pap smear which is normal but now im having sharp, shooting pains through my back So now I got an appt in january for the hematologist, appt in february for my primary care doctor, and appt in march for the ob/gyn And then in April...i will be off of the BC

this thread is still going?! heh

how is everyone??

 

[mzswizz]

Yes its still going And xavier is adorable!!!!! Im doing fine by the way and you?

AFM, its cd21 today and I am exhausted. Today, I suppose to go down to Miami to help MIL bring up food from her freezer here. Im going to go later because Im not up for the drive right now. I been down lately just because of the whole moving thing and Im just ready for DH to come home. He says im not going to be here for long so thats a good thing because im really ready to get out of this house and be with him. Hoping its before i get off the BC so we can still enjoy each other for a little bit while he is in school for his new job. He says once they change him then Im moving to wherever he is so im happy about that. Im just ready to be back together again and MIL can just be able to have the house to herself while we are gone. Atleast then I dont have to worry about privacy or anything. Well, I dont know when AF is coming nor do I know when I am suppose to ovulate. Since AF started in the middle of the pack...im hoping it didnt knock it off track and now its going to come every 2nd week of the BCPs. But if i think about it..if it did..then it would be every 28 days that my cycle came so maybe that isnt a bad thing. Well, im going to watch an episode of my show and then start cleaning up around the house. Oh and dh said something to me that was very thoughtful last night. He told me that the way I am now..he can tell im in mommy mode and with that being said..just from being around me, he know i am going to make a wonderful mommy That was pretty sweet of him. He has been doing nice things and saying nice things like telling me he loves me and how pretty I am just because and I appreciate every minute of it. Cant wait until he comes home next Friday

AFM, its cd23 today and I am exhausted. It feels like I havent gotten enough sleep. I guess my body is still tired from the hours of cleaning I did. I got to finish laundry today though. My friend called this morning and she wants me to drive her dad to Doral, FL for a rental car and thats almost a hour drive Im pretty tired but I might do it seeing as I got to go to Miami anyways so I can just take him there and then head back north to go to Miami. Cant believe today is already Saturday and tomorrow I start week 2 of the BCPs. It doesnt feel like its been 5 weeks already It feels like I just started the first pack. DH is super excited and cant wait to come down. Not only that, he cant wait until I am able to finally move and be where he is. FXed sooooo bad that he is re-rated as a medical corpsman (corpsman pronounced coreman for some odd reason ) So all i got to do is drive 19 hours east and BAM right in San Antonio, Texas. And plus he will have shore duty so we can ttc with no problem Just hoping that happens so fxed and heavy prayer Now on another good note....we have paid of one of our credit cards in full and closed the account so that means 1 less credit card to pay a month We are trying to get rid of all our credit card debt because once we do that...we will be able to have more money because majority of the money goes to credit card payments So everything is going well. Now to take the time out to mourn the losses of the children and people during the Connecticut shooting yesterday. Their families are in my prayers. I cant believe someone can go into an elementary and not think twice about killing 20 children ranging in the ages of 5-10. This feels like another phase of terrorism. What is going on in the world today?! People are just opening fire without a care in the world. And they go out easy because they turn the guns on themselves. I wish they would've caught him before he did that so he can rot in prison instead of getting the easy way out. In the end, he is going to suffer but the families who have lost someone will suffer worse than him. I couldnt imagine what would be going through my mind if that were to happen if i had a child. Just goes to show that we cant really have any type of place we can call safe. I just hope this gets better and not worse. Im tired of innocent people dying for no reason. R.I.P. to those who have fallen. You will be forever missed but never forgotten.

mw-sorry to not be chatty lately, but still super sick. I ended up with flu symptoms from trying to rid of my congestion with sudefed-so not fun! Had to call out of work friday. Time is flying by, before you know it, you will be finished with bcps and dh will be with you at last!

About the CT shooting, it is just horrid and I cried all friday about it-it is just such a tradgedy. I am a preschool teacher and babysit kindergarten age children so it really hit my heart hard

hope all other ladies are well along with your new little ones!

 

[mzswizz]

almost-hope you feel better and get better soon!!!!!

AFM, today is cd24 and in 4 more days DH will be here Im super happy. Tomorrow, Im getting my hair dyed a nice deep burgundy color and im also going to get it curled for DH's arrival home. I already have the outfits picked out too as a surprise. Tuesday, im going to the nail salon for waxing etc also...(DH paid for me to pamper myself ) So I'm happy about that. Cant believe he will be home this week. He told me he know its been stressful dealing with both our families and he just wants us to get away as much as possible while he is down here so thats great because we can have our alone time and just enjoy being with each other. I miss him dearly and the stress has caused me to understand how people really are and I have just been keeping my distance. Im proud of DH because he told me that at the end of the day, he is standing behind me and supporting me because the bible says leave your parents and cleave onto your wife/husband. And he said so he chooses me over his family anyday and that made me feel good to know that he will forever have my back like I have his. I cant wait until we are able to be together and expand our family etc because we will be away from the stress and wont have to worry about anything except each other and the pets. Well today im going to go wash my hair and just relax and watch a few episodes of Law & Order:SVU (i got all the seasons on Netflix ) Feeling good today and today started week 2 of the BCPs for pack #2. Let's see if im going to get AF this week like what happened the last time. I hope not though and im not going to put much thought into it neither because it might just come for a visit

 

[mzswizz]

AFM, well its cd25 now and in 3 days dh will be home. Im excited and just to let you ladies know. I will not be on bnb during the duration of his trip. So I wont be back on until January 6th. Today is the day I am getting my hair colored Wonder how it will come out. We shall see. Im hoping the deep burgundy will still be good enough to show with my hair because my hair is a light brown but you never know. My hair never ends up looking like the results on the box Feel like time is flying but I am hoping that time slows down once dh is here. Im slowly but surely checking off my lists of stuff I got to do before DH's arrival home. Im going to come back home and tidy up our room since MIL moved bags into our room so Im going to clean up so he doesnt have to walk around boxes and bags in the room It's not really much to do in the room which is good seeing that I have been keeping up with cleaning. Also, I got to wash the dishes and just clean out the two chairs and everything I can get to will be clean. Im going to sweep up once I let the dogs back in and if it gets hotter later today, Im going to give them a bath so I got my hands tied today. A busy day it shall be.

mzswizz- i feel like time is flying for you! only 4 more months, you are getting close! congrats to your DH for graduating! how's the weather over there? haha, i'm about ready to flee to a warmer climate.

almost- sorry you have been feeling sick. your baby looks beautiful on your ultrasound! are you going to be finding out the sex? did i ask that already?

the shootings... i feel like every single person has been effected in some way... things like this hurt so deep inside us. it hurts me to look at my baby and know i have brought something so beautiful into such a horribly cruel state of things. at least she makes the world a little more beautiful.
i think it says a lot about us as a country, about our failures as a society. it starts at home. i think if people weren't so concerned about appearances and asked for help- less of these things would happen.

i really wonder if we will see anything more horrible than this in our lifetime. let's hope everyone wakes up a bit.

may those beautiful children rest in peace.

 

[mzswizz]

carli-its very hot here in Miami. Im ready to get away from Florida weather. I guess its because i been here for so long that now im ready to move on and be adventurous

AFM, dh finally got pulled out of submarines So now they moved him to the new room for those awaiting to go surface Hopefully soon he can see what options he has when it comes to the different rates. FXed corpsman is on there because it would be perfect for us and that would mean hopefully be january/february..i will be reunited with dh permanently

 

[snowangel187]

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Things have been hectic and are only going to get crazier!! I'm being induced in 8 days! my inlaws arrived last week and my mom will be here Thursday. this week is filled with last minute Christmas prep, drs appts. Then next Tuesday is Christmas and Wednesday is delivery day.

I had to keep dd home from school a couple days last week because she had a fever. Now it's just a runny nose and a cough and today I woke with a stuffy nose. Praying the house is germ free in the next few days.

They were concerned baby had a growth restriction for a while and have been on bedrest from 23-37weeks. (Just took myself off. ) but had my growth scan and they're estimating her weight at 6lbs 1oz which is certainly less then dd, but dr wasn't concerned. I've also been going to nst's twice a week and they're showing I contract a lot (which I can actually feel, don't need a monitor to tell me that. ) but no real patterns yet.

I'll update again when I can.

 

[mzswizz]

yay snowangel. Cant wait for your delivery LO will be here 2 days before my birthday Hoping your dd gets well soon.

AFM, im on cd26 today. Today, Im going to do some errands and some cleaning. Finally going to remove the bags out of the room etc. Also, today is pamper day. Yesterday, i got my hair dyed so i went from light hair now to dark hair. Major difference but its nice. DH loves it already. Today is the first day I am getting a facial wax Trying something different and hoping I dont scream in pain I had my eyebrows waxed before and that didnt hurt like i thought it would so we shall see. 2 more days before dh's arrival and 2 more days before im on cd28 so lets see what happens. Hoping my body gets it together and I get "AF" during week 4.

 

[pichi]

snowangel187 that weight sounds fine DS was 6lb 7 at a week late he was measuring small from 34w onwards (no sign of growth going by fundal height) but he's totally healthy

 

[mzswizz]

Afm, af is on her way because now i have pink discharge so its coming on cd26. Hopefully it ends in 1-2 days like it suppose to.

Hair pics:

i went from reddish brown

to deep burgundy (purple)

 

[mzswizz]

AFM, its cd2 and im loving this AF.....so far I am having no pain at all and usually by cd2, its very heavy but so far, its been spotting just like yesterday So im guessing that the BC finally is in effect Lets see how long this AF lasts though. Im super excited because DH is getting on his plane tonight He already texted me how happy he is so I just cant wait. Already moved things around in the room etc so the place is as clean as it can get. MIL called and warned DH not to freak out when he sees the house because she will be coming up to straighten up the place. So dh told me and I laughed and dh said, "if she said its not as bad as you (he was referring to me) tried to make it seem, then why will she warn and prep me ahead of time?" Which is sooo true. Im just going to be there with a camera to catch the shock on his face Well everything is going well so far so lets see how his vacation goes.

 

[CarliCareBear]

hey EVERYBODY!!! tell me how you are!

 

[almosthere]

hehe hello hello!

I am doing pretty well-signed P&S to new house last night-all is finally starting to fall into place and should be moved by middle of april! Have a showing for our condo today-couple claims they will put offer in after this second showing-hope it works!!!!

Baby is great and healthy and I am growing more and more each week!

 

[snowangel187]

Hey ladies!! Stopping by to say hi!! Things have been crazy busy. Healthy baby girl arrived Dec 26th at 5:10pm after 2&1/2 pushes. she weighed 7lbs 1oz. She's a wonderful baby, nurses great and has slept through the night since 7 weeks. Because of all my complications during my pregnancy I was sure she'd be my last, but with the smooth delivery and recovery I'm already thinking about number 3. Things are starting to calm down so I'm hoping to get more time for BnB. I'm flying with both girls "home" next week to introduce the baby to family that couldn't make it to the delivery. We will be there for two weeks. I'm not looking forward to the cold weather, but then again it's been a little chilly here in the south.

Hope all is well!! Talk soon!!

 

[almosthere]

sno-wonderful update-so glad you had a smooth delivery and that she is being a easy baby for you!
