I'm craving mustard! All day long I just want to find things to dip in mustard! Lol and my shower is this Sunday! I am soooooo excited to start getting stuff put together and ready! I went to labor and delivery today to get monitored because I was having a weird cramp in my stomach and back but everything is all good! They think he just turned funny and was kicking all kinds of stuff in my body! Lol

Hey Ladies.. Sorry I have been MIA. The 1 year Anniversary of my Mothers passing was August 17th and then crazily enough, my Father in Law passed away a day later on the 18th with us all there by his side. It was a crazy long and emotionally/physically draining couple of days with the wake and the funeral. It is just so crazy how we both watched our Father and Mother take their last breaths exactly a year apart. I miss them so much and am gutted to think that my Mother and Father in Law will not be around to see our baby. Goes to show how short life really is and how much you need to cherish the ones you love.

I hope all TTC and Pregnant Ladies are doing well. I will have to look back and catch up on all of you.

AFM I have been craving Italian also and basically all carbs. I cant get enough of Kraft Mac n Cheese and almost ate an entire box myself tonight. I am freaking out because I already gained 15 lbs. I hope theres a way I can slow this weight gain down or else I am petrified of how large and in charge I will be.

to all

 

[krystinab]

Okkkk Lisa! I'm so happy!! I can't wait til your appointment.

JF sorry to hear about your FIL passing. Your family is in my prayers! On another note I love Mac n cheese too! I'm such a pasta girl!

Hayyddie, Im glad everything's hood with your baby...he's a busy lil boy already! Mustard huh? Do you literally put it on everything? LOL

Army when I got home from working out I was sooo hungry. My blood sugar was low and I was acting like a compete bitch. Luckily DH cooked dinner! Hope you got something to eat!

Amy, I forgot this was number 5 for you! What are your other kids ages? Are they excited a new baby is coming soon?

Jamie you a so close to meeting your lil man! I know your baby shower will be a blast!

Three! I'm not a ketsup fan that much either but it's great for potassium...and colds...lol. Sorry Mexican makes you tum hurt!

Bev, so do you have a party once the baby is born since baby showers are not usual in the UK?

May how you doing girlie? Have a great vacation.


AFM nothing...

Hubby turned in 5 video games that he doesnt play anymore to the store and we got to get McDonalds (which we only get once a month) so I'm good.

 

[Kdk24]

Army... we never eat fast food unless we're on a road trip. Every once and awhile we'll go to Target and i'll beg OH to stop at Chick-fil-a. He's a chef and is totally against it but on rare occasions he'll give in. I'm so jealous of you right now! I'd kill for a big mac!

jf1414... Not to scare you but... My co-worker is a tiny 5'3" maybe 105lbs and is almost 29wks. She's a vegetarian and was eating more carbs than usual to get her caloric intake during early pregnancy. She went into preterm labor around 24wks but they were able to stop the contractions. Baby Harper is measuring in at 3lbs and they are inducing her a month early because of her size. Poor thing is so stressed out now. I feel so bad for her. Her midwife has put her on a modified Atkins diet until her induction. Worst part is, she won't stop working because she needs the money. We've started a secret fundraiser for her in our company. Long story short, be careful with carbs, they sneak up on you.
Sorry to be a Debbie-Downer. When I was preggos all I wanted was cold veggies because I was hot all the time and it just felt good to eat. I knew I wasn't getting enough calories so I would snack on meal replacement bars and trail mix. I lost 10lbs before I knew I was preggos and gained it back in no time. UGH!!

How are all the TTC girls doing. I'm just waiting for AF to get out of town so we can start up the BD-train!!!

 

[shellideaks]

Krystina we generally don't have any sort of party for baby over here. People will come visit once they're born and bring gifts but they don't all come at once.

Lisa glad you're getting started with the IUI. I have everything crossed that it works for you!

Haley, glad everything is okay with your little man

Hope everyone else is doing well!

I'm painting the baby's room pink today finally (after 3 undercoats of white!) then hopefully OH is fitting the carpet tomorrow so I can get all her furniture out of Max's room and my room. Can't wait to have sod space again.

Saw my niece for the first time yesterday too, she's so tiny and cute. Made me even more excited for my little lady

 

[armymama2012]

Well my temp was 98.2 yesterday but went down to 97.9 today. Is that a bad sign? It is still .8 above the coverline at 10 DPO. Cervix is still high, hard, and closed with lots of creamy CM.

 

[Jessica28]

I got my doppler today and found the hb within seconds! My sister got to hear it and my Mom opened the door and said awwwwww...it was no trouble to hear it all all! Exciting!

 

[Kdk24]

Jessica... That's so awesome! Congrats!

 

[Bride2b]

Hey girls!

Lisa I am soooo frigging glad you are getting IUI!! You must be pumped and ready to attack this and get preggo! Good Luck xx

I just read back 5-6 pages and cant remember who just started af.Krystina the ttc cocktails are a bit crazy. When I took robitossun I took it closer to O, a few days before I seem to remember not straight after af.

Kdk I dont think we have said hi yet...so hello! I am interested about geritol. I read that there is a baby in every bottle. Its not something we get in the UK but read good stuff a few weeks ago about it. I might see if I can order some - do you think it works? Have you any success stories?

AFM - still no AF. I am turning into a crazy bitch with this fucked up body of mine. I have lost count what CD I am on....just checked CD48!!!! WTF? Hence I havent been around here much. It just sucks to not be in the game, I cant handle it! I just feel a bit of an outsider as I am not ttc because my body is shit and all I want to do is ttc and get pregnant! Sorry for the pity party, I just wish I knew what the hell is going on! If af isnt here by Tues I am going to make an appointment with the doctor. Monday is a bank holiday here. I am not holding much hope for af before Tues, feel like it'll never come!

A few weeks back I asked you to pray for my friend as her waters broke at 21 week. Well she sent another baby up to heaven today. Labour started and couldnt be stopped by all accounts, the NICU didnt seem to think there would be much hope, so they held her until she passed. Its so sad she has done so well to keep her safe, and she was just 2 days from V day. I am so devastated that she has had another 2nd trimester loss. Life is so unfair. I couldnt go through that again.

xxx

 

[Jessica28]

Gemma - Life is so unfair sometimes. My heart aches for your friend. Two second trimester losses must be unbearable. What was the reason for the losses or does she even know yet? Will keep her in my thoughts.
And as for you....don't worry about the pity party...we all know what its like when our body doesn't cooperate with us. We will all be here cheering you on when you are back on the ttc train again! I miss you around here!

 

[mammaspath]

dang gemma that is terrible.........im so sad for your friend!!!

 

[Bride2b]

There didnt seem to be any cause for the rupture again. She had a cerclage placed at 13 weeks as IC was suspected last time. I am not sure if they will find out if anything was wrong with her angel. Life is very unfair xx

 

[armymama2012]

I am sorry about your friend. I know it's really hard when they can't explain why.

P.S- Af is due tomorrow but temp is still .8 above cover line and no AF cramps!

 

[jrowenj]

where is everyone???

 

[krystinab]

Im here! Had a 4 hour meeting today Just getting home!!

Whats up with you?

 

[jrowenj]

nothing. i have off today and its POURING and THUNDERING out!! I am bored... im online just looking at stuff... running out of things to do!

 

[armymama2012]

Ack, I hate those days jrowenj! Sometimes just to be spontaneous and silly I drag DH out into the rain and make him kiss me or dance with me for a minute. The good part for him is that the rain makes me cold and so therefore he has a better chance of getting BD in that night (not like I'd deny him anyways lol).


Well, my temp is still .8 above the coverline but mail just came and the tests arent here. So if they arent here tomorrow I will email my friend to ask if she remembered to send the tests! I will not be able to wait til Friday! If they are not here on Friday I will make DH go to Walmart and buy me lots of those 88 cent tests and an FRER!
