Yea the drops didnt work..

We going buy gripe water...
It's suppose to be wonderful!!!!!!

I still taking my pain Meds bc it hurts when I get up r lay baxk..

Me and lance had a Awsome moment last night we cuddled and kissed for the first time in months...

Insomnia sucks ass sorry Bex it doesn't get better I'm living off of coffee n red bull

I haven't smoked yet btw even though I almost last night..

 

[bexxc]

i'm so glad to hear that even though it's hard, you and lance were able to get a little bit of couple time in. that's really great! and i'm so proud of you for not smoking. even if you don't smoke around bentlie, the residual smoke and chemicals that are left behind in your hair and clothing can be really damaging to her delicate little lungs!!! you've made it like 5 or 6 months without smoking. that's such a huge accomplishment! please don't go back to it!

i've heard really great things about gripe water. let me know how it works out. i'll need all these little tips and tricks very soon. sprout will be here in no more than 10 days!

 

[annie00]

I know sweets I don't want to go baxk but I was having a break down last night and almost did but nope!!!

 

[annie00]

Ten days wow!!!

I can't believe I'm suppose to still be pregnant!!!

 

[bexxc]

i know. it's kinda funny how much earlier than me you had bentlie! trust me. the last couple weeks are no picnic! everything is sooo hard! all my joints are loosening up and my right wrist is killing me. i injured it really badly about 15 years ago and it took months of physical therapy to tighten the joint back up. now that the joint is all relaxed again, it's as painful as it was when i first hurt it! not to mention that my pelvis and vajayjay feel like they're going to explode! but it's aaaaaaalll! worth it! i lost a big chunk of plug this morning, so maybe we'll get things going in a couple days here.

You are doing so great Annie, even though it feels tough. Bex is right. Keep it up!!

Bex - how lovely! Out of curiosity, what does it look like? I've always wondered!

 

[bexxc]

it looks like stringy snot it's all thick and yellow!!! i know it's not my whole plug because it's not big enough...but it was enough to be gross!!!

 

[hopestruck]

Oooohh...Mmmm...

I can't believe this is happening so soon!!!! Feels bizarre even to me... But good bizarre

 

[bexxc]

i still don't believe it. morgan and i were talking about it when we were driving home from the grocery store yesterday. we're going to go to the hospital and i'm going to go through the whole labor thing and they're going to hand us a baby-our baby- to take home and take care of. we've been talking about having kids since the very beginning of our relationship and now 10 years later it's happening and it just seems like a dream!

 

[hopestruck]

That makes my heart melt How long was it that you were actually TTC including NTNP time?

 

[bexxc]

2 years- almost exactly.

 

[hopestruck]

Nothing better than a much-wanted baby landing in the arms of intelligent, loving, awesome parents!!!!

 

[hopestruck]

On an almost completely unrelated note, can I ask your advice? It's wedding/pregnancy related... I would ask my bridesmaids, but they don't know about this pregnancy...and I would ask Jamie, but he is essentially useless

 

[bexxc]

aw! that's so sweet!

now we just need to get you this close to baby. this seems like quite a wonderful time for you to be pregnant. our thread needs another bump!

 

[bexxc]

of course! i'll be as helpful as i can.

 

[annie00]

Her dr is referring her to a specialist in New Orleans for her birth marks.. And they changed her formula to soy based for colic and reflex..
I have to bring her back wesnday for. Weight check up..

 

[bexxc]

good! it sounds like you guys are making progress with some of the issues you're worried about. that's great. did the doctor say anything about her turning blue or her breathing? has that happened again?

 

[hopestruck]

I think so too! We shall see....

So, what I'm wondering is about my wedding dress! I *really* need to order it because our wedding is essentially 6 months away. But, do I order a dress based on the assumption that I *will* or that I *won't* be pregnant!? Ugh. If this baby is for keeps, I will be 7 months pregnant on our wedding date I'm totally fine with that (I actually think it would be super cool to surprise our guests - with the exception of immediate friends & family who would know). But, yeah.... I feel like it's honestly a risk either way. Because even if we lost this pregnancy there's a chance that we could get pregnant again beforehand...

i would say visit a dress shop and (with as much or as little detail as you feel comfortable with) explain your situation to one of their consultants. they might be able to find you a dress style that can be easily altered to go in either direction. you might have to compromise on the cut of your dress a little, but i'm sure you can find something you can work with.
