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

[Harley Quinn]

Thanks, Skadi! And hooray for an ultrasound date!!! Only two weeks away!

 

[HAKing]

Thanks, Rachel! I can hardly believe it myself. Only 4 weeks and 2 days till we meet Ben! Unless he decides to show up early, which I'd be totally okay with!

 

[lilrojo]

Hey all..

Harley happy term Hope Jimmy comes soon!!

Haking not long for you now...

Happy things are going well spiffy and pie..

Skadi-hope you get an apt asap.. how annoying that would be..

Due-hope you get some good news and things are looking better..

AFus.. we are well.. I think I too am nesting early lol.. I just want to clean crap out lol.. make some space.. we have been busy.. seems like every weekend is filled up..

almost 18 weeks... 2 weeks till my next us.. should be fun.. cant wait to see some more babies.. and have my own lol

 

[HAKing]

Yay, Skadi! That's great you got an ultrasound date! Will they possibly tell you the sex at that time since you'll be so close to 20 weeks?

 

[lilrojo]

Skadi that's my us too.. only at 930am..

 

[HAKing]

Logan, I can't believe you're nearly 18 weeks! So exciting!!! Before you know it, it will be December.

Have you picked out names yet?

 

[lilrojo]

Haking I know its going so fast.. seems like I just got my bfp and now its almost half over.. more than likely only 20-21 more weeks left.. dr wont let me go to my due date.. so that's a bonus..

As for names.. nothing yet.. I do have a boys name I like but not sure what dh thinks about it.. so we will need to start chatting soon and figure out some options.. as were team yellow so wont know which way till birth..

Am I the only team yellow.. lol

 

[HAKing]

That's exciting to be team yellow! I think you might be the only strong willed one to stay team yellow! I've considered it for #3 but not sure I could do it!

Why will your doctor not let you go over??

 

[Skadi]

Yes, I think they will tell me the sex at the ultrasound. I sooooo can't wait!

I'm thinking Ava Elizabeth for a girl although I'm not 100% sure on Elizabeth as a middle name as its my first name.. I would prefer a family name for her middle name but the choices aren't great.. (Sarah, Martha, Ellen, Florence, Della, Mary) I think Elizabeth goes best with Ava.

If its a boy then OH wants to name him after himself... ugh I do NOT want a Jr! Yuck.

 

[Harley Quinn]

Oooh, two scans in one day! I'm excited for the 23rd now!

Skadi, I think that out of all those names, Elizabeth sounds the best with Ava (which is a great name, btw). The next best, imo, is Mary. Ava Della just sounds kinda funny. And I get not wanting a Jr. Not really my thing either. Maybe your OH will compromise by using his first name as a middle name?

Well, I just wanted to let you all know that so far nothing's happening over here. I'll try to post in the morning, but if I don't it doesn't mean I'm in labour.

We did manage to do some laundry, packing, and clearing out the bedroom tonight. So, I feel much better about the possibility of Jimmy coming sooner rather than later. Still not sure what to do with Ozzy if the time comes... Our last resort is to just bring him with us, bring the church directory too, and then start calling 'random' people to see if they can come pick him up!

 

[lilrojo]

LOL Haking.. I did it with Bryce so I have gone through the yellow before.. and I must say I loved it.. You should try it..

As far as not letting me go over I think its more so due to my miscarriages... with Bryce he said we would induce at 39 weeks.. he had the cord wrapped around his neck and had stopped moving as much so I think that's a small concern too.. but I may be wrong lol and its just how he is..

Harley boo to the sweep not working.. sometimes is just your body isn't ready though you are.. when I had mine I was contracting like crazy so it just took pretty much instantly.. hope he comes sooner than later..

and the 23rd is gonna be an exciting day on this thread

 

[Harley Quinn]

I don't think I could handle being team yellow. I'd much rather get the surprise of the gender out of the way early.

And as you all can tell, I've not had Jimmy yet... Doesn't look like the sweep worked. Oh well; we'll try again next week!

 

[babyhopes2010]

so this pregnancy business is REALLY HARD!

 

[HAKing]

Skadi, thats exciting you'll get to find out in less than 2 weeks!!! I also wouldn't want a Jr. Hopefully DH will agree to using his name as the middle name. That's what we did with Sam (though its also Sam's uncles name too) so many meaning behind it. I also like Ava Elizabeth the best too!

Rachel, I'm sorry the sweep didn't take effect! Did you have more than one sweep with Ozzy? Like Logan said, I think sometimes it just means you're body isn't ready yet. Hopefully Jimmy doesn't keep you waiting too much longer.

Logan, I'll definitely consider it for #3. I just have very little will power! but what an amazing surprise it is the day the finally arrive!

 

[Duejan2012]

Skadi: Thanks for looking up that place in denver. Good to know if it comes to it! Im soo exited for you about your scan!! NOt to much longer now! I also love the name ava elizabeth. It does sound the best to me. As for the boy name. I agree about the middle name. Or use his middle name as a middle name. So like with jonathan my dh wanted him named after him but i hate the jr idea and honestly I HATE dhs name haha. Its soo commen for mexicans i wasnt gna name my son that. So my dhs name is Jose Eduardo. So we chose a name that had the same initial as my dh and same middle name. So Jonathan Eduardo is my sons name. Idk just an idea lol.

Logan: I cant believe your scan is comeing up already too! Im jelouse you had the will power to stay team yellow. I thought i would try with baby number 3 but i just couldnt lol. I love the being able to shop pink or blue etc. That must have been scary having the cord around bryces neck. Did you notice the reduced movement or did they catch it?

Rachel: Im sorry the sweep is not working. I thought it could take up to 48 hours so dont give up hope. I had one with natalia and went into labor 48 hours later. I would continue trying to stay active. Do you have a labor ball? I bounced on that with jonathan and it kept the contractions coming. Im glad that you got all that work done. SOund like you are ready if jimmy does come!!

Heather: It would be really cool if you could stay yellow for number 3 lol. I really tried but in the moment of the truth i just couldnt. There was no way mydh would have either so i would have found out either way lol.

Hello babyhopes

Well ladies i tried to reply last night but i was in the middle of writing a nice post and my wifi wouldnt connect... I didnt until this morning i couldnt figure out way.

But natalia parade was really good. She looked so cute. There was drums and a band playing behind her so she kept looking back at them. But i litterally started tearing up when i saw her walking. I am soo happy that we got her into a preschool. Her vocab is getting soo much better and well. I just see so much improvements with her. Her shyness is starting to go as well slowly but surely. Here is a few pics

Hi baby it sure is.. lol

Haking-i would def recommend it.. its an amazing surprise.. most amazing thing was them telling me I had a boy.. so fun

Harley-boo to it not working.. but what's another week when your huge and pregnant.. lol

 

[lilrojo]

Aww too cute Due.. she looks like she had fun..

As far as the decreased movements I noticed it and said something.. well my apt started like this.. weight bp etc.. he did a check and a sweep.. I was 3cms I was contracting a ton.. I told him I hadn't been feeling him move as much.. so we did the nst and I was contracting the whole time prob a good 4-5 mins apart.. so he took to the labor and delivery section at the hospital.. and that was that 4 hours later my little man was here..

It was scary but I didn't know till after his head was out and they had to cut the cord.. so it was all well played..

Hoping for a nice smooth last round..

I loved not knowing.. best surprise ever..

 

[Spiffynoodles]

Whew! Let's see if I can catch up!

Skadi, I'm so looking forward to finding out the gender of your little one! Liam has my DH's name as his middle name, and I think it's a really nice way to go. As for a girl, I agree, I like Ava Elizabeth the best.

Stacey, I'm glad to hear that your job is being saved for you! I really hope your next appointment gives you better news, too. Natalia is so stinkin' cute in that cowgirl outfit!!!

Rachel, sorry your sweep didn't work. I hope that Jimmy doesn't keep you waiting much longer. But that's great that you're getting so much done to prepare for his arrival. That will make things so less stressful. We never got our bassinet set up before Liam came, and then when we went to put it together, we realized that we were missing a piece. So for now he's sleeping in the pack n' play with the basinet attatchment on it.

Heather, I can't believe you're full term in less than two weeks! And as for team yellow, I'm still considering it for next time since I have one of each, but I have a feeling that I would break down and have to find out.

Babyhopes, nice to hear from you. I agree, pregnancy is hard work, although now that my baby's here, I can't help but think that pregnancy was much easier.

As for us, we're still hanging in there. I had a couple of really bad days with breastfeeding. My nipples got so bad that one of them was bleeding and every time I would latch Liam on, I would cry. I went to a meeting of Le Leche League, and the lactation specialist there thinks that Liam has tongue tie and lip tie, which is probably why I've been hurting so bad. I'll have to have them clipped at his two week check-up with the pediatrician. I'm also suffering from the loss of sleep. Liam went from 8:30pm to 2am without sleeping for more than 20 minutes before waking back up to fuss again. I was bawling by the end because I just wanted to sleep so badly. I forgot how hard it is going without sleep!

Vanessa, how are you and Milo getting on?

 

[Duejan2012]

awww jordyn hang in there. You are doing great. Dont forget that we have all been there and done that. Its got to be hard. How is alia doing is she waking up tons? Sleep when you can. Keep putting lotion on your nipples and keep it up. You can do it jordyn. You can. just relax hun

Logan: Thats good you noticed it. They must of played it really calm when he had the cord around his neck. Very scary. That one of my biggest fears is not realizing that her movement is less and missing it until i dont feel her at all. I will also hope that you have a smooth third and last time!!

 

[lilrojo]

So since you all are doing the bfing thing.. do you have a pump recommendation or all they all the same lol.. and do you wait to buy a pump or get it before.. I just don't want to waste money if things don't work out..
