BFP Chasers...........Feel free to join....

They should call it not 'high risk' bc your pregnancy may well be wonderful and long and as healthy as anyone. They should say 'slightly higher risk' with the understanding that they can fix almost anything and that's why they see u more. You'll get lots of heartbeats and sonos!

Vonn-- hope u find a good interim place soon and can hire lots of help moving.

Mikki- hope u feel better stat!!

Terri - i hope you have a better day today. Fun plans for the weekend? O's in town?

Alleke - thanks! If I've learned anything from this process, it's the progesterone is a sonofabitch. I've felt sooooo pregnant so many TWWs, I can't count. And BFN. My pregnancies - I've felt amazing. I still don't have loads of cm, I'm not terribly fatigued. I think even the day before my BFP, I checked my cervix and it was low and hard! I know everyone is different but really - just hang in there. Your body can really fool you into thinking things but sometimes it's thinking your not when you are!!

Rain - I like your thinking. I'm not going to let the label make me neurotic. I'm going to continue to sit back and enjoy the ride.

TWINS TWINS TWINS
(I have to say it more for it to be real )

 

[TTC74]

That is AWESOME news, Wish! While I suspected it, I'm still ecstatic for you!!!!

 

[Taurus8484]

Fantastic news Wish......congrats xx

Yes still here stalking

 

[mikihope]

Wish- It's so awesome you're having twins, I bet it will take a while to sink in! I agree with Rain, getting more monitoring and care due to the "high risk" label would be great, even if you are not high risk!

Alleke- I think 9dpo is still early, so there's still hope!

Rain- Thanks, I will try to get more rest and see if that helps me to feel better. Plus I have Thalassemia, which means I have weirdly shaped hemoglobin, which reduces its oxygen carrying capacity. That could be making me more tired, but I can't do anything about it. I guess all I can do is to get more sleep

 

[Alleke]

Thanks for your support! I have not given up hope, but I need a consolation prize so I won't dwell on a negative.

 

[Wish2BMom]

good morning, everyone! Happy Kidney Bean (8) week! HAHA!
I'm still a little too nervous to add a ticker or update my status.

Taurus - thank you for continuing to stalk!! I love the support from afar when you and spud chime in

ttc - thank you!! how are you doing?

msripple - are you still around? How's everything going?

Nothing really new here - felt pretty good all weekend, though I do feel nauseous when I'm on the verge of being very hungry. Usually not the morning, but the rest of the day I need to make sure I have food on deck. DH and I were hemming and hawing about what to have for dinner on Saturday (we need to do groceries badly) and I said 'well, we have pasta and broccoli, but no sauce, so i'll run to the store'. I had to text him from the store to ask him to start everything b/c I was getting nauseous fast and wasn't going to be able to wait too long when I got home!!

I kinda get why updates start waning - I don't want to provide so much of the same thing. I think next milestone, for me anyway, is having my first appt with my new OBGYN. That'll be next Tuesday - exam and all that. Then we get to hear the heartbeats on 7/12!

Wish - OMG I am over the moon about your lovely looking twins!!!!! This is the best news. And "high risk" for these purposes really just means you get more monitoring and will get to see your babies a bit more often! Double the fun Yay, yay, yay, times a million!

Vonn- I am so happy things are going well for you. Well except for the rash. And the housing situation. Man that sucks. I'm hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel for you. Is living with your parents a possibility? Or a leaseback on condo? Or a slightly too expensive rental?

Miki- sorry you are feeling so poorly. I do think it will get better and nausea is a good sign of a healthy pregnancy (which helps to hear only a little bit when your passed out on the couch or back and forth to the toilet). Things got a bit better for me around week 11 and much better around week 14.

Rain - Hi Your babies are growing up! Hope you are staying cool in this dc humidity fest :0

Everyone else - still catching up, but hi!

Sorry I have been a bit out of the loop all, just been busy with family visits, home renovations, and my job. We got the top floors of our house redone and (my husband and my 70something mil) painted the upstairs bedrooms including baby's new room! I helped a little, but no one wanted me there too long, even with low/no voc paint. After about an hour I felt sick and my hands went numb, so I'm not as useful. I am feeling pretty good though definitely.....larger. People who have no idea I'm pregnant and random people on the street feel comfortable commenting on my pregnancy, so I'm definitely looking the part . I have a fair amount of swelling in hands (cause of numbness/tingling last week or so) and feet and my bp is a up just a smidge so I'm getting referred to a visit with the high risk doctor next week. I couldn't go to our house this weekend because of the fumes from the floor, and I was secretly excited about it because I got to spend the weekend relaxing in our city apartment, seeing Wonder Woman, going to prenatal yoga, and hanging at the pool on the roof of our apartment building (a disappointingly shallow 3 feet, but a joy to sit in nonetheless).

What a great picture, Wish. I like the updates either way. Got nothing else going on. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯. J/k.

PS. Did you tell your FIL?

 

[Vonn]

Wish--I love that pic! Two of everything is so so cool. And only one week away from getting to see them again. Sweet. It does tend to be best if you don't let yourself get too hungry.

Terri--you've been quiet about the Orioles. Been to many games lately?

MsR--glad things are going well. It's sort of fun for people when people (strangers/acquaintances) start to notice and remark on your being pregnant! Nice work on the renovations. It must feel great to get all that done and ready.

AFM--had a check up today and had high blood pressure. They sent me to the hospital for monitoring. Ugh. Blood and urines tests for preeclampsia came back negative. Thank goodness. But they are keeping me overnight. They want to do a fetal growth ultrasound to make sure my high blood pressure is not causing baby's growth to suffer. If things are okay, I will just have twice weekly monitoring the rest of the way. If it gets worse we basically have to induce. There's no treatment to bring blood pressure down. Ironically, we were supposed to go on a tour of the hospital birth center after our appt....and then we ended up admitted there and saw the tour go by!

 

[Taurus8484]

I had high blood pressure with DS1 Vonn and monitoring every 2 days from around 34 weeks. I did end up with pre eclampsia and was induced at 38+4. Unfortunately not a lot you can do about it but your in the best hands.

 

[Taurus8484]

Love the pic Wish....how adorable!!!

 

[terripeachy]

Vonn-i hope you can go home today. I'm sure the only part of the tire you need is the delivery room and you'll see it soon enough. Hopefully not for a few weeks though.

The Os have been struggling lately. We went to the game on Father's day with my SIL and nieces and nephews. We had a good time although five kids sure are a handful. Not sure how single moms do it. The youngest boy has been stealing and I had a candy bowl in the basement and we got to the game and found out he had taken two small candy bars. They were melted when we saw them. My husband had to have a special talk with him telling him that he better apologize and that he won't be allowed in my house if he continues to steal. Same story I had to tell my brother. Ugh. I think all the kids want attention. We will have to do 1-1 stuff with them when they move down her in a few weeks. They have away baseball caps but the kids still wanted more stuff. I asked them if they brought their money but they didn't have any. We provided tickets and food and company, so that was they're gift. Hubs gave them money afterwards for their report cards.

Mrs R-thanks for checking in. You sure did get a lot done. It's OK to not be so helpful at this point. It's fine and everyone understands.

Miki- how is your move coming along? Yesterday was the day, right?

Hi to everyone else!!

 

[Wish2BMom]

Terri - you are both so generous with your time and money. Those kids are very lucky to have you. How far will they be from you when you move?

Vonn - what an exciting week for you, sheesh! I hope everything remained ok and you were able to be released.

Msripple - I second what the girls say - sit back and relax. You'll have plenty to do soon enough. Rock on with all those renovations though!!

Miki - how was the move?

Rain - has little boy followed in sister's footsteps with the potty yet?

Afm, today was a downer day. We finally decided to put our cat to rest. Thankfully the vet made house calls so we just had him come here. I miss her so much but I'm so happy she has relief now. I'm so exhausted, I fell asleep on the couch at 6:30. It's only 8 now but I wouldn't mind dropping off soon.

Oh and no, haven't told FIL yet. Will wait to do that at 12-13 weeks I think. When it comes to who DH wants to tell early, that equals no one! He's so cautious, he wants to be somewhat sure.

 

[Wish2BMom]

Oh and Lee!!! So good to see you!! I'm sorry I missed you, I'm on my phone. How's Lily?

 

[Alleke]

Well, ladies, it's day 14 dpo. Still negative. AF is due today, possibly tomorrow. Yesterday I was so sure that AF was coming that I bought a bottle of wine. Today the indicators are gone. So... I'm continuing to develop my patience. I am not that skilled at it.

Wish, I'm sorry about your cat. I understand.

Terri, it sounds like the kids need love and attention... exactly what you are giving them!

 

[Wish2BMom]

ohhh I hope it's just a late implanter, alleke! good to have that wine on standby, though. I haven't had a drink in 5.5 weeks and I haven't craved it. I point this out only b/c I'm a little bit of a wine lover myself. It's weird noticing how much in life revolves around it though - people joking about putting nips in their coffee, talking about 'that's why god made tequila' when we're having a stressful day at work, etc.

I woke up not feeling too much today. It's so weird. I feel like I should be hung over a toilet b/c of the mass amounts of hormones running through my system. I know it'll come and go throughout the day though. I guess my uterus is the size of a grapefruit right now! fun fact!

 

[Rainshiny]

Alleke, I'm so sorry this cycle didn't work. Will you try the same protocol again? It's so hard to be patient!! Hope u get two lines soon.

Vonn- oh my goodness!! how are u?? Did you get discharged? I hope you get a few more weeks. That sounds scary.

Wish-- heaven just got more wonderful with the addition of your kitty. I'm so sorry for your loss. Pets are so important in our lives.

Do u think your FIL will guess? Do u have any more work travel coming up? When might you tell your boss? Mine figured it out at ten weeks! A bit early but it all worked out.

Ms R- that must be so weird/annoying to have your hands go numb. When are the final touches going to be completed? Do you feel lots of kicks from your basket of wings?

Terri- awww little one- maybe he thought candy in a candy bowl was fair game- is that really 'stealing'?? Lol...I'm sure he will learn to ask sounds like an adventure, anyway! Do the older ones help w the younger ones some?
