Hi everyone Long time, eh? I have finally got a positive OPK after having Lucas almost a year ago, so we are a lot right now. Congrats on all of the babies. Krys--SO happy for you! Tasha, looks like we're TTC together again

 

[Mariahs Mom]

GEEZZZ Tasha that sounds painful. Hopefully things will settle down. Is this going to be a reoccurring issue for you?

Yesssss I can't believe I'm almost 27weeks. It's all surreal! I would've never thought I'd make it this far. As far as sleeping, most nights I'm ok ONCE I actually find a good position that my little girl agrees with. The other day DH and I were spooning and Brooklyn (that's our baby's name) kicked so hard, the bed was shaking hahaha. I guess she she did not like that position.

Krystina- HEYYYY how are ya? I've been great. I've reached the point where I need assistance getting up out of seats/cars and putting my shoes on. Just always tired...My belly has definitely taken over but I couldn't be happier to be pregnant! I was so excited that I hadn't gained a pound my entire pregnancy but I went to Dr's appt and I gained 4lbs. Not huge but def a bummer, but dr did say that the baby makes up for at least 2lbs of that. So I guess it's not too bad!

 

[Tasha S.]

Thanks ladies, I'm feeling a lot better now!

Dove: YAYY for popping back in here, missed you!!! HAHA! Looks like we will be TTC together again...though for your sake I hope not, I'm actually waiting until my August cycle to TTC, I hope you get pregnant before that! How's Lucas?!? Are you breastfeeding/did you breastfeed? If so, when did you wean Lucas? I just started weaning Ana this week (I didn't have the heart to wean her, but then I was put on antibiotics and had no choice but to stop for 24 hours and I saw that the bottle was going well, so I chose to try to wean her! I'm 10 lbs underweight, so I'm anxious to conserve all my energy! Ana, on the other hand, is quite chubby! ) I started charting 2 cycles ago, and I'm not sure I'm ovulating properly (I got my period back March 1st). How about you? Did you get your period back cycles before getting a + OPK?! SOOO good to hear from you, Dove! xox

Button: Your chart looks AMAZING!!! Fx this is your cycle! May I ask how you shared your FF chart in your signature? I don't know how to let people just see the chart versus having a link!

Krys: Where did you go for your babymoon?!?! So glad that you had time for yourself and DH before baby arrives and changes your lives completely! How did the glucose test go?? I'll look for a good Ana pic to post!

DeeDee: Sounds like Brooklyn has got quite the little character! Too cute!! Can we ask for a bump pic?!?! Love seeing those baby bumps!

 

[krystinab]

Hey Dove! long time no hear from, how is motherhood? I cant believe Lucas is a year!! Time sure does fly! FX you get that +OPK soon!

Tasha, are you thinking of getting acupuncture? Im telling you I am a believer. Not only does it get your ovulating on track, but it relaxes you so much!

Button, did you test??

DeeDee, 4lbs... thats crazy to me. You must be really tiny...

AFM, the glucose test went ok...the stuff they gave me to drink wasn't bad it was the nausea that set in afterwards that almost put me out! Everyone keeps telling me how small I look BUT the scale keeps going up! The other day this lady asked me if I was eating, that really pissed me off! Bitch, do you think Im staving my baby...ugh. Anyway, we went to Ft. Lauderdale for our babymoon....its was a good time ...I pranced around in my bikini which DH wasnt really feeling at first!

LOL, I hope not too! I thought you were asking about acupuncture because you were already ttc We are still BF! Lucas is definitely a booby baby. I go back to work at the end of the month, so the sooner we get pregnant again, the better. 10 lbs underweight? Holy...I still have 14 lbs to lose, but I'm not stressing it while ttc. Lucas is 26 lbs, I hear ya on chubby babies

Hey Dove! long time no hear from, how is motherhood? I cant believe Lucas is a year!! Time sure does fly! FX you get that +OPK soon!

I got my +OPK on Saturday and Sunday. We DTD 4 times in the last 5 days, so we've done all we can. Now the dreaded 2ww

Your babymoon sounds lovely. I'm sure you rocked that bikini!!

 

[stacergirl]

Hi ladies! I've been reading just haven't posted! So much is going on with you ladies!! This is a busy thread!!

Krys-how did you like ft lauderdale? I live in orlando and it sure is hot! But I'm sure you looked cute in your bikini! And regarding the eating comments, just wait til you get "your baby's hungry" comments after he/she is born just bc they cry! It's so annoying how everyone has a comment, even strangers.

Tasha-how painful! Hope you're feeling better and getting some rest!! I so don't want my little guy rolling over yet bc I know it will be much harder, but of course we're working on it with him! He will be 4 months!! Can't believe you're 10 lbs under weight! The nursing worked for me though, I weigh 10 lbs less now than I did before getting pg. I've been pumping and bottle feeding but am stopping this week bc I have a large stash of frozen milk! We aren't necessarily ttc, but not preventing either just bc I have low egg count, so we kinda feel like we should try sooner rather than later!

Dove-good luck ttc! Hope you get a bfp!!

I know there's a lot of new ladies, so congrats and good luck to you all!!

Tasha - I think there's a share option on ff which gives you a link to paste into your signature. I'll have a look and tell you if it's any different

Krystina - sounds like a fab babymoon. I have tested but so far BFN, still early for me though.

 

[krystinab]

DH would prob have a fit if he knew I shared this, but I couldn't resist

 

[dove830]

OMG, you are SO cute!!

 

[Button#]

Fab pic!

 

[snowflakes120]

Cute pic Krystina. Is that your man in the background - nice arms!

FX button! And Tasha in August! And Stacer! And Dove! Hooray for SMEP TTC!

Having a hard pregnancy but trying to look on the bright side and say I am half done!! Not like Kellan's where it was a piece of cake and boring!! Lots of emotional issues for sure with baby girl.

 

[dove830]

Snow, I love the pic of your little man, he's adorable

 

[Button#]

Thanks snowflakes, must be tough having a hard pregnancy and running around after LO.

 

[Tasha S.]

Stacer: So good to hear from you!!! Wow! 4 months, doesn't time just fly?! I'm exactly like you, I weigh 10lbs less than pre-pregnancy, only I was a healthy weight then. The nursing brought me down 10lbs...I'm starting to look hollow though, I don't like it! I'm 5'4" and my healthy weight is 120lbs, I'm down to 110...I haven't weighed that little since I was a teenager! But we're down to only 2 nursing times a day, so I should gain some back! WOW! You're able to stop nursing at 4 months with a freezer full of milk?! Good job mama! Oooooh!!! I hope you get pregnant soon!

Krys: LOL about your DH! You look gorgeous!!!! I find pregnant bellies so beautiful! I'm not going to be trying acupuncture, not because I don't want to (I TOTALLY believe in acupuncture too! I had acupuncture done when I was a teen and having menstrual troubles and it helped so much!), but because it's expensive!! We just bought our first house and we're saving our pennies...I'm going back to university in the fall so we'll need it then!

Button: Your chart is still looking really good! Excited for a few days to pass!!!! Everything crossed for you!

Lisa: Awwww!! I'm so sorry this pregnancy has been difficult! I know you must have gone through so much when you were waiting for those test results to come back, but they look all good, right? Are you still worried? Or are there other things stressing you out? I hope the last half of your pregnancy goes more smoothly! xox

Dove: I hope you get pregnant soon so you don't have to go back to work for too long!!! Too cute that Lucas loves breastfeeding!!! I find it a little hard to stop breastfeeding, it's so special! (But I'm also excited to be able to get dressed in the morning without worrying about boob accessibility! )

DeeDee: How are you doing hun?!

 

[krystinab]

Hey ladies. Sorry for taking forever to post...I am trying to get back into the swing of things at work...

Lisa, Yes thats DH and his arms....LOL he is anti internet piks or I would have put his entire body on there...LOL Sorry this has been a tough pregnancy for you. When is your anatomy scan scheduled? Im guessing soon. Have you picked out names for LO yet? KELLAN is ADORABLE. The cake pik is still my favorite

Tasha, YES acupuncture is very expensive. I asked for a deal since I was going weekly. I paid like $60/visit which wasn't that bad but over 3 months it really hit my pockets. When did you move? Are you all adjusted in your new home?

Hey Stacer, YES Ft. Lauderdale was HOTTTT!! How are you doing? Its been a minute.

Button, any update???

AFM, I barely passed my glucose test...smh...I guess pasta 2x a week is not a good idea while preggers...Other than almost having diabetes, a swollen vagina, not being able to sleep, hemrroids, and going from a 34-D to a 38-E cup (I really hope I get my old boobs back!) this pregnancy has been flawless...LOL

 

[Button#]

Nothing yet Krystina, I'm still spotting. Not feeling very hopeful but already got a plan for next cycle if I am out.

 

[Mariahs Mom]

Hey girls!!!!

Krystina I know exactly have you feel abt the breast getting so big. I am up to a 38G. These suckers are always in the way and I can barely fit any of my maxi dresses over them haha. You look great in that pic and you are wearing that two piece. Good thing DH does not subscribe to this board. I have my glucose test next week and I'm not looking forward to it. My cousin said it made her throw up and I don't have time for that haha.

I wear my hair the same way you do in that pic. I love it and we have the same color too haha. I knew we clicked for a reason lol.

Tasha- how are you and the little one? I'm doing great. This little girl kicks me all day and especially when I'm trying to sleep lol. We had an appt last week and turns out I'm measuring ahead by a week. The same thing happened at our 18wk ultrasound. That's so reassuring but a little scary because I don't want a big baby haha. But hey as long as she's healthy it'll all be worth it

And I will post a week soon. DH keeps yelling at me because everytime I get dressed I forget to take a pic. Haven't really taken a pic since 20wks. HORRIBLE lol

Button- how are things going?

 

[Button#]

Still nothing, going to get OH to hide the rest of my tests for a few days because I'm going mad imagining lines!

 

[Tasha S.]

Hey ladies!

Krys: I'm so glad you passed the glucose test! You know, like you, I also had just barely passed it with Ana...but a pass is a pass! Actually, we never moved (since I was on B&B, I was always at the same house), we were renting a house and now we bought it!

DeeDee: Hooray for measuring a week ahead!!!!! That's great news! Way better than measuring a week late! I do hope that she's not TOO big at the end though! But like you said, healthy is the most important!

Dove: Any updates?

Button: Awww! I feel you on wanting DH to hide the tests!! Your chart is still looking good though!!

Stacer: How are you and baby?!

Does anyone have news from Gemma (bride2b)?!?! I'm dying to hear from her!!

 

[Button#]

I've had to stop temping because LO's sleep is so bad at the moment I'm pretty sure it won't be accurate. I was up from 2-4am this morning with him.
