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

Must’ve been an Evap. 11 dpo bfn. I tend to get 11-12 DPO BFPs but at 11 DPO, I’m discouraged about this cycle to say the least. I did have some bleeding this morning (I don’t normally get pre-af spotting) but it didn’t look like IB to me.
 
Congrats Casey!!!

I’m sorry TTC. I know how frustrating those evaps can be.
 
hi all! did everyone have a good weekend?

ttc - bummer. I hope it's a late one for you but if not, fx'ed for next month.

casey - welcome and congrats!

ask - how are you feeling?

wicky - I hope you're somewhere out there loving on your baby! Hope to hear updates!

miki - how's our favorite little gummy doing? I can't wait to hear what milestones he's hit now! Please post a pic too - I can't get enough of him! :) Did DH start his new job?

rainy - how are you doing? Work any less frustrating this last week?

terri - man, I thought the O's had the Sox. They were so strong in April and then pewwwwwwww they tanked! This is one of the reasons I have a hard time investing any energy in baseball until later in the season, or a game here and there. I cannot be a slave to it! Too many ups and downs with the 100+ games they play! I'm a football girl through and through - 16 games, everything is on the line each week!

our weekend was pretty good - the boys each had a bout of diarrhea on Saturday, due to the shots they got on Wed, we think. It was a rainy day so we all just kinda hunkered down for the day anyway. Yesterday, everyone was feeling better so we went to the local AA (or AAA, can't remember) baseball game. Our home team was playing Tim Tebow's team but we MISSED him b/c it was a double header and apparently he wasn't playing in the first game! Oh well. But the boys got to go to their first baseball game!! Timothy was more into it - Malcolm ate and passed out. Timothy sat on my lap and we practiced clapping, danced to the music, walked around. :cloud9:

oh yeah, their appt - so T is weighing in at just about 15lbs now, 2'2" tall. M is still a peanut at 12.5lbs and 23" tall. Big difference between these guys but the doc said that you still can't rely on these measurements to foretell how big or small they'll be as adults. And M's been putting away the food lately so we know he's eating! Could just be that his metabolism is faster or T just uses calories more efficiently. :shrug: But both are healthy and happy and good!
 
Whew, was a wild week dealing with colds all around -- everyone at daycare, DH and I, and gummy (his first cold!). I was advised to keep him home for one day last week to recover after he had a rough day at daycare, not playing much and resisting his afternoon nap. He's now better, yay! But now the daycare lady closed the daycare at the last minute once again. We were almost out the door when we got the text. On a Monday morning. A few weeks ago she closed the daycare for a family emergency. Every single time, we’ve been informed at the last minute. We have no family here, no proper backup care, and both DH and I have no leave, and we both took a month of unpaid leave for our trip. The backup care provided by work is a string of daycare centers which don’t seem to have any space when you call. I was in tears thinking about how bad it is for gummy. I don’t want to move him to another daycare as he is so happy there and it’s really so great for him. I just don’t know how to deal with the stress. Both DH and I have bosses that have agreed to let us take half the day off and pay it back later when this happens, but I’m afraid that they’ll get tired of us doing this every couple of weeks.

Rain- Hehe, ‘Wocket sip’… so cute! Sorry that your hard work was not appreciated, even after you busted your a$$ while sick. I hope you find a better job situation. And I hope you are well by now! Haha, bottom in the air sleeping. My sis told me about it. Gummy discovered he liked sleeping on his belly after a couple of nights of being upset about it, but he doesn’t stick his bottom up. Yet!

Wish- Good luck with your Arbonne consulant endeavour! I bet you’ll be great at it, it sounds like something you would shine at. Yay, for T rolling over during tummy time! I remember how fun and exciting that was. Until he “forgot” how to roll over one way :laugh: I’m glad that T’s flat spot has improved so much. Oh, and Happy (one week late) first Mother’s Day to you too! Wow, so much is happening that I can’t keep up. I’m so glad that your boys are doing so well!

Terri- I’m sorry that you struggled on Mother’s day :hugs: I hope that your rest of your week went great, to make up for that crappy day for you!

Ask- Congratulations on passing your 3 hr test! I told you that many people fail the 1 hr and pass the 3 hr test. What a sweet Mother’s day gift your DH gave you :cloud9: Oh yes, we’re going to be staying with family in both Singapore and Mauritius. It’s such long long flight and big undertaking, bringing a 6 month old on his first flight and long trip. I should be super excited, but I’m stressing out about it!

TTC- Bella is so adorable! I love those curls. Congrats on her walking! I’m sorry about the evap. Fx still for you!

Welcome and congrats, Casey!

I bought a trailer for gummy, so I can bring him jogging, and eventually tow him on my bike! I can’t wait to try it out! And I can’t wait to really get back to cycling. I remember 2 years ago, exactly on Mother’s day, when I lay on the road with broken bones after my bicycle crash. It was such a low point in my life. DH was working weekends and so he didn’t even know about my crash until 4 hours later. Now DH has a great new job at my workplace, and gummy is enriching our lives. We brought him for a party at DH’s boss’ house and he was happy for the entire 3 hours we were there. He’s such a happy baby!
 
Oh! Miki’s Post reminded me! I got a 4 in 1 trike to take Bella for walks (and eventually teach her to ride a trike)! We also got her a sports coupe. Woohoo for the toys r us going out of business sale!

Wish, thanks for asking about gummy. He is now doing silly stuff like pulling DH’s beard hairs and saying “Hellllaaaa…” (one of several versions of ‘hello’) in a silly nasally voice. He gets cheekier each day, I swear he has a wicked sense of humor. But he started to lose a ton of hair in the past month! Did that happen to M and T? Do share pics of them, I’d love to see what they look like now!

Here are pics of gummy, the one in the swaddle (in his rock and play) was taken a month ago and the tummy time one was taken pretty recently. You can see the huge difference in the amount of hair! I was so sad when it started falling out, but now I’m used to his new look. He’s also become a butterball… so round and chunky!

TTC- So cute... Bella's own sports coupe!

omg he's SO cute, I can't stand it!! he's got T's hairline! Both of my boys had a lot of hair when they were born and they are losing it too and it's super patchy or old man hairline-y! They both have cradle cap too, T's is pretty bad. I don't know how it doesn't hurt. Any GoT fans out there - I've been saying he has grayscale! :haha:

here are some pics - I actually rarely get them together since once is usually in a Boppy while the other is in a swing, etc.

my two little hearts! <3<3

Love all of the photos! What cute babes! Baby fever is really getting strong here! 13 weeks until due date!

I see it too, TTC! Did it show up before the 10 minute mark? FX!!!

Here’s a pic of me and my baby. :)

you look amazing, ask! I am oddly jealous since I'll never experience pregnancy again! :)
 
Such adorable pics of M and T, Wish! The one with both of them together is just precious, you definitely should take more pics with both babies together :cloud9:

Oh, and I loved that the "mini board meeting"! So cute! I call gummy "little businessman" when we give him a bath, because he gets all concentrate-y and kicks his legs and puffs out his chest like he's walking to somewhere important. So I say he's walking to his business meeting. And I sing "little businessman... with his business plan..." before his bath, and an upbeat "walking song" containing the words "the little businessman" during his bath.

Ask- Your bump looks so cute and perfect!

TTC- I see it too! Fx for you!
 
:cloud9: thank you! yeah, I know I need to get more of them together - gosh it's amazing just how happy they make me. Even just their pictures!

such a cute bath time routine - I'm so glad the boys enjoy their baths now. T is growing out of the tub we put on the sink so we're going to have to come up with a new plan for him soon. He can't sit up on his own yet, though, so I don't know what the interim plan is between sink-tub and real tub. Google!

ttc - more line porn please
 
Love all the cute pics! Ask- congrats on starting your third trimester!

Wish, we used these big plastic wash bins and put each in their own- easier support for sitting up leaning against the side. We had a little bath seat for the more active twin to keep him from trying to ‘swim’ for a while, although those are not approved. As long as you’re right there it’s fine in my view.

Happy birthday Terri and Taurus! I know our birthdays are close together.

Thanks, Miki, work is better this week. Had a pretty good presentation yesterday. What are you thinking now about your daycare situation?

Ttc- should I interpret from your day 1 chart that it was a chemical? I hope not &#128549;

Bella looks so proud of her new wheels!!

Wish- is totally host a party but I can barely do anything other than work and kids! I think you are superwoman. I need a lot of sleep.

Spray parks are opening this weekend- yaayayyy!!!
 
Yep. The day I got the pos pregnancy test, I also got deathly ill and AF. Rough day.
 
ttc - I'm sorry! I hope you're feeling better for the holiday weekend, though.

rainy - ooh, thanks for the bath tips! We have a large kitchen sink - maybe we'll just kick it old school and fill that up for him! I'm glad work is marginally better. At least if it's tolerable, then...well, it's tolerable.
An online party would take up 1 hr of your time after the kiddos go to bed :) think about it! I'm actually going to do the 30 Days of Healthy Living and kick my eating and nutrition into high gear. There's a whole month of goodies that is laid out for you and you only have to come up with dinner ideas. I like that - part of what makes me so tired is coming up with where I'm getting breakfast and lunch or what to order from somewhere. Just give me a delicious shake and if it's also packed with nutrients that I'm completely missing - BONUS!! I can't wait to start it but I'm looking for any buddies that want to do it too!

Lee - always wonderful to hear from you!!

Taurus & Terri - happy birthday twinnies ;)

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday weekend. Yay for spray parks!
 
Hi ladies! Stopping by to catch up as it's been a while. I'm getting ready to do FET #4 next week.

Yesterday I had my day 12 scan and my Dr said we are good to go next week as my lining looks good and my ovaries are quiet. Tonight I am having pain in my ovary on one side that feels like ovulation and so I took an OPK and it's positive and I'm not supposed to be ovulating as I'm on estradiol. But now it's Friday of a 3 day weekend and I start PIO injections tomorrow. Should I be worried that I'm ovulating? I can't get a scan because if the holiday here in the U.S.
 
Hi Hope - good luck!! I’d probably call to ask - they most likely have an answering service where someone can get back to you right? Keep us posted!
