A home for EVERYONE!

Sounds like a few of us have been dealing with feeling crappy lately. Think I'm getting out of my funk now... for now! Had a good day Sat with MIL and Siena... and then DH sat down to dinner with Siena and I... AND went with us and laid down to read books and put her to bed with me. And he left hunting early Sunday to make it to church. And we went and got a tree Friday. Etc. So basically no drama right now... lots of family time. Good stuff. I made sure to tell DH how I liked what he was doing... appreciated it etc. Hope it continues!

Yay for Janelle's appt today!! Can't wait for mine... definitely easier this time though since its right after New Years so have lots going on till then. Got xmas wrapping done... and tree up... we are ready for Xmas!

Misty - Kicks!!! So exciting.

Janelle - Fingers still crossed you get an u/s today. What time is your appointment?

Libby - Glad you're feeling better, too.

ETA - I only have 3 more days of work this year! I have nothing to do at work either. This will be a long three days but after that I get a nice break!!!

Mornin Grace!

Eeek think I ate too much this weekend, oops. And now just had a cookie. Oops. Lower back is annoying me... leaning forward or back, it still isn't comfy. Guess that means I need to get up and walk around, but feeling lazy. Oh well I will walk to breakroom and go heat up some food, ha.

Hi ladies! Thanks for the wishes. My fingers are crossed that I get a secret ultrasound.

My appointment is at 9:40 my time. It's about 7:25 here. So, that should give you an idea from where you are.

Misty, I was woken up the other night feeling the baby moving. I was laying on my stomach though so, it might have been saying, "hey lady, move over!"

Libby, I was in a funk all weekend. Must be in the air. I've been having this terrible pain in my vagina and I'm fearing the worst. Spd. I'm going to ask my doctor about it today, but it's really getting bad.

Grace, So excited you have a vacation coming up! I know my friend only has a few days left then she's on a long vacation too! Have anything fun planned?

On the plus side!! We got all of our cutting boards and ornaments done! They turned out awesome... well, we still have to seal the cutting boards, but whatever, that's the easy part!

 

[libbyam2003]

Yay on making progress with Christmas stuff!

Yeah, for me, helped that DH spent real time with Siena and I. Funk goes away when life gets better!

Oh man how I'd love vacation! Most people at work are on vacation. Saving for mat leave.... would love a sunny, warm beach... and a COCKTAIL!

 

[HisGrace]

So one of my managers told some of my co-workers that I am pregnant. I'm pissed right now.

 

[janelleybean]

Libby, LOL I gotta tell you, the only time I crave a bloody mary is when I'm pregnant. A virgin bloody mary just doesn't cut it either.

Ugh, I have to do my hair... I hate my hair sometimes. I wish I had super straight hair, so I could just wash it, comb it, and go.

 

[janelleybean]

WHA!?!?! Grace, I would be livid!

 

[HisGrace]

WHA!?!?! Grace, I would be livid!

I've calmed down a lot since I found out but I'm still upset
about it. On a good note, your appt is less than an hour away!

 

[MnJ]

I'm on vacation too starting Friday! Can't wait! I need out of this f'ing place for a while!

Grace, that's not very professional of a manager!!! The jerk...

 

[janelleybean]

Well I was at my appointment for 2 hours and it was sooooo worth it.

WE'RE HAVING A GIRL!!!

The doctor wasn't 100% positive, but he said he's never been wrong and he's pretty sure girl. The baby was NOT in a good position. SHE was moving all over the place and being sure moody.

I have learned that I have a third nipple in my armpit. I was telling him when I was pregnant with Samuel I got this swollen lump in my armpit and same thing happened this time. It's super painful when my milk comes in and it lactates, so the doctor said that he can remove it. whoop whoop!

The other thing is I do have SPD. It hurts so bad. Dammit I forgot to ask him about the support belt. Oh well, I was so wrapped up in finding out that we are having a girl!!!!!!!!!!


OVER THE MOON!!! Measuring ahead of schedule as well. I'm 17weeks 5days. Grace We're bump buddies again!

**Picture, I know you're going to ask about pictures, but I didn't get any good ones. Dan was in charge of phone pictures and he went all deer in headlights on me and didn't take a single one. Oh well, I have an appointment on the 7th for the big shibang ultrasound.

 

[libbyam2003]

Wow Grace... that was your news to tell... although when I told my boss, she told at least one person. But I didn't tell her to keep it a secret... although I did expect her not to blurt it to a bunch of people.

Yay Janelle! Wow, so much news!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!! Wow a girl!! Unless some parts were hiding?? Sounds like will be good to get that other scan too since dr wasn't completely sure? Oh but good news nonetheless!!! Wheeeee!! Third nipple, huh??

 

[janelleybean]

Lol, yea, all up in my armpit!

This was a secret ultrasound. My real 20 week one will me on the 7th. I'm tell you, you can't go wrong with the chinese calendar on parents.com It's never failed me.

 

[libbyam2003]

At almost 18 weeks, seems like it'd probably be right! Too bad she wouldn't sit still so he could be totally sure!!! Well, I'm glad they can get whatever that is removed! One less thing to deal with later!

 

[libbyam2003]

CAn't they do something to help with SPD?? UGH!!

 

[AngelSerenity]

Janelle... ,go team (although we all knew it would be a girl).


Ladies I hope you are all well and I am going to catch up properly in a moment but I can't contain my excitement (it isnt that great but to me after a hellish year it is!).


I'VE BEEN GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO TTC AGAIN. That 3 month break for the second time this year has felt like another year...


For those who want a boring read the full account is posted below, apologies for the copy paste but once you read it you'll understand why I couldnt be bothered typing a shorter version





Well, my life is as interesting as ever . There are 3 hospitals in the trust I am now under and I have had 3 appointments at each of them in the past 3 months, apparently all under the specialist care of my RMC. At my review meeting today he was very perplexed and couldn't understand why I did not have my hysteroscopy procedure with him, another consultant did it. I did request to be under his specialist care and I told him I was a little surprised as well when I got the appointment but presumed it was how the hospital system had worked and he was aware of it. HE WASNT!!

So the conclusion is that he isn't too happy about not conducting the procedure as he hasn't witnessed first hand my 'possible partial septum' so he was in a quandary about future actions. He was also aggravated because he would have done the review at the procedure if he had conducted it, and the NHS had to set up another appointment for this to happen , which I think he was pissed more about dragging me out again. At this stage my heart is sinking as I am fearing more waiting and more investigations.

After talking things over between himself and the consultant that actually was conducting my review, discussing my history, pattern of my RMCs he stated that he as he didnt see my womb and if he let me go ahead and TTC and then I had another MC he would have to look at the implications of having giving me the go ahead to TTC in the first place. I suppose he is being thorough and not wanting me to face more heartache.

I then quipped 'oh I think I see where this is going and you want to do another hysteroscopy for yourself?'

And you know what? I nearly dropped with excitement - he said NO that wouldn't be fair to put you through that and as the doctor who performed the procedure was 'a fabulous doctor' he was fairly satisfied that whatever is in my womb isnt significant enough and looking at my pattern of RMCs clotting is more than likely the cause. The other consultant also reassured me she agreed looking at my pattern.


So YIPEE, I've been given the green light to TTC .


Which is just as well as my DH and I got kinda carried away yesterday afternoon, and I think I'm going to ovulate today or tomorrow...


I'm so excited I could burst, but at the same stage I have no job from March so I really should be thinking about all this timing issue. 95% of me says stuff it, what will be will be etc, the other 5% is going gulp, I could be making a bed of stress and trouble for myself . Oh la la.

 

[AngelSerenity]

Janelle, are you on crutches or have been recommended physio for the SPD?

Or have they given you a support belt?

[MnJ]

ANGEL!!! OMG OMG OMG!! I'm sooooo happy for u! And so excited to have another ttc'er to follow! What great news!

Janelle, yep we all knew it was a girl! My predictions are girl for Libby and boys for Nicole and Grace. Grace I couldn't decide but I'm going with boy!

 

[janelleybean]

Okay, here is the ultrasound from Samuel's pregnancy. Nothing but penis there.


This is the one from today. It's a side shot. He couldn't get a full butt shot. But no penis. That white blob, is part of the leg, then butt and lady parts, then other leg. Looks like a "U" I've labeled it for you.



What do you ladies think?!
