Babies due in JUNE!

[Ferne]

For all of you who, like me, spent some time in the TTC over 35 Forum there is some exciting news! dachshundmom got a BFP today! She has been such a supportive voice over in that forum it's nice to see her turn come around.

 

[sadie]

Hi Ferne, thank you for the support! i dont know what I will find out at this appointment.... i am hoping to find out the sex!
As for the amnio itself, I am more worried of something happening, rather than something being physically wrong with the little peanut. in fact, i am going to avoid this forum until about saturday or even sunday, so when my absence is noticed, its just because I am laying low....

My doctor was just plain old adamant about having it done, doesnt even care about the results of any of my tests.... He is going based on my age (42).....

On another note, what great news for Brooke! She had a stressful journey during ttc! I am really happy for her! I stop by to see whats going on with the girls, but I didnt get there yet today. Thanks for sharing.

I think I've just about dug myself out from the holidays!

Re. MIL's ick - I'm guessing it was just a food thing she had. Both DH and I were run-down and not feeling so hot over the past week but attributed that to the busy holidays. Of course he then got a food thing from a steak I cooked him. Strange because my steak was just delicious! Poor guy!

I've been feeling pretty wiped out this week just from being so busy. I thought this was going to be a light week, between Christmas and New Year's, but I wound up with full days at work. It wasn't stressful, just a lot to do. And this week is full too. At least I've got a good massage tomorrow evening and a "bachelorette weekend" with DH out of town Fri-Sun.

I laugh because DH keeps telling me to take it easy but then he doesn't do much around the house to help lighten the load. I try to not get frustrated with him, but I feel like I'm in a bind between "nagging" if I remind him or "overdoing it" if I just do it myself. I don't want to vent or rag on him too much, but 24hr+ after asking him to empty the dishwasher it was still sitting untouched while he'd been sitting around the house the entire time. I did it myself after he left for practice this evening and it took all of 2 minutes. It was easy enough for me to do, but with that attitude I'll continue to do everything.

At least everything is getting all done. I'm now off to get into a freshly laundered bed and enjoy a cup of tea before bed. It's not all bad - in fact, things are mostly good. I'm reminding myself to not get stressed about the little things in life.

 

[Ferne]

Ellie, "a freshly laundered bed" and a cup of tea sounds just perfect. You've been so busy, it's well deserved. I might do that myself. I have the bed part now to find my kettle...

 

[Ferne]

BTW - does anybody have any good tea suggestions?

My favorite nighttime tea used to be the YOGI brand Bedtime tea but in my 8th week of pregnancy I noticed that there was a warning on the box that read not to drink if you're pregnant or nursing. Woops.

I have been looking for a great tasting tea without caffeine to keep me from snacking at night.

 

[Ellie Bellie]

Ferne - The Celestial Seasonings brand has a number of yummy decaf flavors. Last night, I had sweet coconut thai tea with a bit of Splenda and creamer. Other flavors I enjoy are gingerbread, vanilla chamomile (and I usually despise chamomile!), and bengal spice. If you brew loose-leaf, then stash teas have a number of decaf to enjoy. Chocolate hazelnut is one of my faves there.

I left DH a "To Do, Please" list for tonight and he's told me that he's seen it. Here's hoping he's done at least some of it before I get home at 10pm! I don't want anything spoiling my post-massage mood.

 

[Ferne]

Thank you Ellie Bellie!
Enjoy your massage. You've inspired me to book my own some time this week.

Hoping your hubby does the "to do"s, too.

 

[Ferne]

I'm having trouble posting this morning on the forum. I don't know what's going on.

 

[Ferne]

StarSign - Any news from your doctor yet? How long does it take to get those results?

[Ellie Bellie]

Hi NewAddition! WELCOME!

Ferne - Love the new pic! What an adorable SuperGirl!

DH did EVERYTHING on the list that I asked! He even picked up on my FB status yesterday where I said I hoped he'd get me a avocado at the grocery store so I could make guacamole for dinner. (It was my somewhat secretive way of commenting on being pregnant without telling everyone yet.) I hadn't expected that he'd actually get the avocado so was delighted when he said there was one waiting in the fridge for me.

Woo-hoo for your DH coming around. Now, if only we could spread that dust to all DH's when another falls off the bandwagon...

 

[Ferne]

Thanks Ellie!

I know Sadie may find out the sex this week but will anybody else be going in for ultrasounds?

 

[Ferne]

BTW Sunshine and AngelBaby are SWEET POTATOES!

That's a seriously-large-sized vegetable! You can't hide a sweet potato in regular jeans.

Congrats ladies!

 

[sadie]

Yep. Me and amnio tomorrow.

Hey, last night before going to bed I choked so hard on my toothbrush, two times in a row. It made something move inside my stomach, I swallowed lots of air, almost vomited, and it hurt like hell. Then during the night, i woke to a dull pain on my right side, lower than where i always catch the heartbeat. It hurt when i lay flat, but on my left side the pain wwent away. It came and went today at work, depending on what position i was in.... Mild tho, nothing torturous.... I am hoping it is from the gag experiences, or maybe I flipped over too aggressively, which i sometimes do, and pulled something?

Anyone ever have something similar or am i just reading too much into this?

I never had an amnio so i dont know if he will tell me the sex or not... Or if i should just wait until monday when i see that baby is ok.....

 

[Sunshine12]

Ferne that made me laugh!!

Sadie, it sounds like round ligament pain and absolutely nothing to worry about. Get used to it!! Could just be co-incidental that it happened after your fight with your toothbrush. I get it regularly these days. Sometimes its bloody agony, especially if you change position too quickly during the night.

Good luck for tomorrow hun. Will be thinking about you. I think they might ask you if you want to know the sex or not before they say anything and you can tell them if you prefer to wait. xx

Welcome to the thread Newaddition.

Ellie, thats so sweet that your OH got your an avocado.

Me and OH fell out tonight. One Born Every Minute was on (telly programme about births) and I knew he didnt want to watch it which was fair enough so when it started I innocently said that it wasnt all blood and screaming if he did want to see it and he went off on one saying that i was pressurising him to watch it blah blah blah so I told him to fuck off and aint seen him since! Hee hee. (Bet I dont get a cup of tea in bed in the morning now lol)

 

[sadie]

Ouch! F off! I wouldnt get u tea either!!!

Does this pain linger around for you too? Its on and off all day. I feel like my inerds got in a hot twisted mess up there.

Silly side note.... When I was teaching elementary school, a second grade girl wrote in her journal "i love vagina". What she really wanted to say was "i love virginia". It was funny.

 

[Ferne]

Will be thinking of you tomorrow Sadie.
