anyone ttc or ntnp before there child is a year old?

[Spiffynoodles]

Yeah, apparently she's due mid-July. I'm due July 26th, but DD came 10 days early, so who knows?

 

[HAKing]

That would be so fun if one of you three (spiffy, pie or harley) had your baby on the same day as the William and Kate!

Pie, I'm curious to hear how Noah does with his swimming lessons! I would like to sign Sam up for some come the summer as he loves the water.

 

[blessedmomma]

duejan- i wish there was baby groups here too. and i say stuff sometimes like the uk girls on here and DH looks at me like im crazy.

 

[Duejan2012]

spiffy haha that is soo funny about your dream. that would be cool though that your children would have the same birthday as a royal that would be cool to say haha

Haking what a BEAUTIFUL u/s pic you lo looks great!! I too have had some crazy dreams latly some not so appropriat either haha. You know i take jonathan swimming and he has acually learned to put his head and face under the water and he even lets go when he has his life jacket on and kinda moves. He loves the water and crys when we get out haha I think taking sam swimming would be a GREAT idea!

pie have you met any of the royals? I went to london one year with my choir and sang over there and at one of the places prince charles i think it was came. It was amazing to see that. I got to see changing of the guards too witch was really cool as well. I probably sound like such a forener but it really was cool

welcome back chellxx!!

Blessed i know what you mean about busy glad you could stop by!

 

[HAKing]

DueJan, how was Johnathan's birthday? I don't remember if you said or not...if you did sorry that I missed it!

Blessed, glad you stopped by! Weekends are busy for me always and I feel like I never come on then and have to play catch up come Monday.

AFM, not much going on. Its still cold here but not as bad! I think tomorrow we are supposed to warm up to low 70s!

Do any of you girls eat sushi? We did before I got pregnant and I was too afraid to when I was pregnant with Sam but I have lots of pregnant friends that did and had no problems so DH and I are thinking about going out Friday for some...I don't see any problems with it as long as the fish isn't high in mercury

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Haking, I'll admit I've had some sushi. I just seem to love it even more when I'm pregnant. I usually tend to stick to california rolls, since there's no raw fish, but I've had raw (smoked) salmon, which, like you said, is low in mercury, so I figure the tiny amount that was in my sushi was probably fine.

 

[HAKing]

Thanks Spiffy! I think as long as I am careful with what I eat I should be okay. I had a few California rolls when I was pregnant with Sam but nothing else. I have been craving it for the past few weeks and decided I can't take it anymore. Hopefully its just as good as it sounds!

I love spicy tuna rolls but I know tuna is high in mercury so I guess I'll have to put that on the off limits list!

 

[Duejan2012]

heyy ladies just wanted to share some pics xx

[PitaKat]

HAKing, I love that picture of your little bub!

DueJan, your kiddos are so cute, and yay for your ultrasound picture!

Well if you girls don't mind, I think I'll just stick around here. This is the group that I feel I belong to, though I clearly am not NTNP or TTC anymore.

I've been thinking about these questions:
1. Does he still love you? Yes, I'm sure he does. And I still love him. Or I love who I thought he was, the illusion he was putting up for me.
2. Is he truly and deeply sorry about what he's done? Yes, but he didn't tell me till he basically got caught. Not by me, he told me himself because he didn't want someone else to tell me first. I never for a second thought my husband would do this to me, I wasn't suspicious at all. And I'm worried that has forever changed.
3. Do you feel like he would ever do it again? Ah, this is a kicker of a question. I would like to say no. I would LOVE to say no. But it happened multiple times, so I'm told. And I can see now that there has been a culture of lying to cover it up.

I'm waiting on the Lord to give me wisdom and clarity. I'm meeting with the husband today, and we'll talk, and I'm meeting with a marriage counselor tomorrow. We'll see how I feel after that, I guess. It's only been 5 days though. I want to give myself plenty of time to think things through, feel what I need to feel, so I don't act rashly.

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Duejan, I love the pictures! Your kiddos are adorable!

Pita, I'm glad you're sticking around. I'm also glad that you're taking time to really think this over and talk to your husband and a marriage couselor. I sincelerely hope that you and he can work things out and move past this, for your happiness and for your child, but I know what you mean about trust. Once lost, it's so hard to build again. My husband had a problem with pornography before we got married (I know some women are okay with it, but for me it was a huge no-no, because I think of it as a form of infedility...just without the other person physically present, and it's so unbelievably addicting). I told him that I wouldn't marry him until he had put it behind him, because if I ever caught him looking at it after we were married, I would find it hard to trust him like I do now. Thankfully he's never gone back to it. But when he first admitted to me that it was a problem, I seriously considered whether I could marry a man who had looked at other women like that. It hurt just to think about it. But over time, I've stopped thinking about it as much, and can now accept that it was a mistake he made in the past. I've told myself that if God can forgive and forget his sin, then so can I, especially because I know that he truly feels horrible that he ever did it.

Now, I know that this isn't the same thing that you're going through, but it's the closest I can relate, so I thought I'd just share my experience.

 

[HAKing]

Pita, I do also think that it is smart that you are giving yourself time to think things through and not jump to something that you may regret later. I really do hope things work out for the best for you!

Duejan, Love the pictures from the birthday and such a cute ultrasound picture!

 

[Skadi]

HAKing with Sushi, mercury isn't the biggest problem when you are pregnant, but rather bacteria. It is OK to eat at Sushi restaurants you trust - if you have eaten there before and not gotten food poisoning it is ok to even eat the raw fish and not stick to cooked foods. Just don't go too nuts.

I think I'm near the end of my 2ww... I had some crazy cramping around what might have been O time... and then we DTDd the day after that... not sure if it was too late but this is the closest to "the right timing" that we've had in ages. Trying not to think about it though, now that I am back at work and away from Keira I feel desperate to get pregnant again just so I know I can have another year with her

 

[blessedmomma]

pita- it sounds like you are doing what you should. keep asking for wisdom and you will be led in the right direction.

duejan- love the u/s pic!

skadi- i hope you are preggers!!!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Skadi, since having DD, I would get strong ovulation cramps, and for me they were always the day before I actually ovulated, so I'm hoping the same goes for you and that you hit O day right on!

Okay, so you know how we're living with the in-laws right now? Well, my FIL works from home, so his car is always here, but unfortunately it's a stick-shift, so I can't drive it, but my DH said that once a week, he'll take FIL's car to work so that I can have our car. And today's my day! So DD and I get to actually leave the house for once, so I'm going to take her shopping at a second-hand store for some new clothes (and get me some new maternity pants while I'm at it) and then we're going to meet up with DH for lunch. It's so nice to have the freedom of a car!

 

[HAKing]

That's awesome, Spiffy! I couldn't imagine not having a car and being stuck I hope you have fun with your day of freedom and find lots of cute clothes for Alia!

What does your DH do for work, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Spiffynoodles]

He's a system admin and Sharepoint developer for a company called O.C. Tanner (basically he's a super smart tech guy ).

 

[HAKing]

Cool, its always fun to hear what everyone's DHs do for work.

Mine is a general manager for Cheverlot at a company that sells seats for old classic cars. Hes really into all that though. He has a '66 Chevelle that was his first car and has redid everything on it. He basically got the job because of his car!

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Haking, I bet your DH probably loves getting to work with old cars and their owners. It's always nice to hear about people who have jobs that suit them so well, since there are so many that aren't as lucky.

 

[Pielette]

Lovely to see the birthday pics duejan, and your little bean! Really glad the birthday party went well.

I'm really glad you're sticking around Pita and I think what you're doing is very sensible, just talking and taking some time to figure out where your head is at. I really feel for you and am thinking of you, it must be tearing you apart. We're always here to listen

Ooh classic cars HAKing, I'd probably love that myself! Spiffy my DH is also a super smart techie guy He's a senior website developer and runs a team for a media agency in London. During university when we met I moved in with him and his friends, I always affectionately referred to them as my geeks
