****Broody and Babbling till 2014****

[Jaxvipe]

SarahLou- you could try soy isoflavones, they are kind of like natural clomid. Maybe give TTCing naturally for a couple months and look into that. Im suprised that he didnt atleast ive you metformin with already being diagnosed with PCOS. Can you get a second opinion?

I havent really been posting here much lately... been SUPER stressed out over DD and her speech. Our daycare lady brought up to us that she was concerned about her lack of words. I wasn't too worried about it before that because she does understand 90% of what you say to her and even some complex instructions like" Put the baby in the stroller and push her around". But after she brought it up I started getting really worried. My cousin who is a para and works with kids in special ed is going to sit with her at Easter and tell me if she thinks she needs speech therapy. I dont think she is autistic or anything like that she just doesnt want to use her words but babbles in her own language 24/7. We also are going to the vascular anomalies specialist on tuesday to talk about the MRI and treatment options for DD. So, its going to be a very busy and stressful next couple of weeks.

Hope everyone is doing good!!

Jaxvipe I worked at a daycare for 6 years and went through a lot of early childhood education courses and training. Now I'm no doctor, obviously, but your daughter is still so young! Even our pediatrician isn't worried much about speech until the age of 2. I hope that you get it all sorted out and that all of her tests come back with positive outcomes. I know how worried you must be. Keep your chin up! I'll be thinking of you, both!

Sarah lou, the sperm meets egg plan, google it. It's a step by step guide that helps women know what to do and when to do it when TTC. There are good videos on youtube and stuff as well. You can get a second opinion by taking your referral to another fertility specialist and asking them for help, most likely. I'm not 100% sure how it works where you are but if you aren't happy with that doctor surely you can find another that can help you?

I have a ton of PCOS symptoms but my doctor never formally diagnosed me. I had it all though, hair loss, acne, very very long, unpredictable cycles, a few odd hairs popping up here and there, and dark patches on my skin, etc. I lost 30 lbs and got healthier, took vitex and got pregnant no problem. I'm currently down almost 50 lbs and in the normal weight range for my height and nearly all of those symptoms have disappeared. I still ovulate a few days late and cycles aren't perfect and I have a breakout once in a while but things are much much better. It's done wonders for me.

I hope everyone is well!

I can't believe my first baby is turning 5 on April 15th! It's just crazy how fast he's growing up! He told me the other day "Mommy, I don't love you as high as 100... I love you MORE than 100!". He is just a sweetheart and always melts my heart. He also asked me the other day if I am ever going to have another baby in my tummy LOL!!

Awww that's too cute.

I concur! luvmyfam that is adorable! I hope my daughter saays something so sweet when she is older.

SarahLou, can you not just go to another doctor to get an opinion? Or ask your doctor for a referral to a specialist. I agree with using soy isoflavones.

Jaxvipe, I wouldn't worry to much yet about your daughters speech. My DS 2 wasn't even babbling by his 9 month visit and his doctor cautiously said well watch him. At one year he was babbling and talking his own language. My doctor said he wanted him to have 5 words other than mama dada. By his 18 month visit he barely had 5 words and wasn't saying them consistently. My doctor was ok to still watch him. He said by 2 he should have 50 words and be putting two words together. I thought we would be starting speech therapy at 2... No way he would be talking that much by then. Well he was! Now at 29 months he can say 5-6 word sentences. I especially wouldn't worry since she is comprehending so much. Some kiddos are just slower to start. I was crazy worried for Jacob because his big brother started saying words at 8 months and could sing happy birthday before 2! Kids develop so differently.

Thanks luvmyfam, I feel like she has made progress in the last week. She is trying to say more. It's just so hard not to worry!!!

 

[tverb84]

Today this woman who works at the gym I go to brought in the son she had about two weeks ago. I didn't talk to her or anything since there were a few people already. I did feel a bit jealous after seeing baby.

After I left the gym I was walking through the mall and this baby smiled at me so I smiled back and waved. He was sooooo cute.

 

[luvmyfam]

I know tverb! That baby itch can be so strong sometimes! I can feel it at work lately. I'm a NICU nurse and here lately the baby fever has really kicked in! My friend at work was taking care of a very cute little guy the other day and she commented on my baby fever because I just couldn't stop ooohing and aaahing over him lol .

 

[luvmyfam]

Hope everyone that celebrates has a good Easter!

My baby lust hasn't been too bad these past couple of days.

It's funny how people can be so blunt sometimes.

I work as a kindergarten teacher and one day a couple of weeks ago, when I was outside wearing a knitted, loose-fitted shirt (I have an average body type), a mom came up to me. She talked very loud and said: "are you pregnant?"

The thing is, which she doesn't know, that I've been wanting a baby for a couple of years now but we've just decided TTC this June. But what if I've can't have a baby? Or just gotten the news myself and didn't want anyone to know that I was pregnant?

"...ehm...no?", I replied, which made her look embarrassed. "Oh, I'm so sorry! Take it easy (what?)! I thought you were pregnant but now I see that it was only your shirt and the sunshine that made me think that way." Then she left with her kids...

 

[luvmyfam]

The nerve of some people!! I could never imagine saying that to someone unless I was 100% sure. Someone asked me when I was about 20 weeks with DS 1 and I had JUST started to look "pregnant" to my DH. I was shocked!

Well, I guess most of you know I'm doing my midwifery training, and I'm just coming to the end of it. Most of us applied for the hospital where we're training for jobs, and they had us wait in the main waiting area, with all the pregnant women, for our interviews. I was the last one to be interviewed, and I was sitting there, dressed up in my interview suit, waiting for my interview. One of the registrars came out of clinic and asked me if I was there as a patient. It was a little embarrassing, thinking that he thought I was pregnant, but, I guess it's an obvious mistake to make when a woman of child-bearing age is sitting in a maternity waiting room (though he knows I'm a student midwife and don't have any need to walk around in a suit normally), and he could have thought I was there for a 12 week scan, which isn't particularly insulting, really. I was still pretty embarrassed though.

Anyway, I can't remember if I told you all or not, but I'm going to have to postpone TTC, as I only got offered bank shifts (pretty annoyed about that, but oh well). So long as I get a permanent contract somewhere soon, I'm hoping to start TTC in September.

Hello! I'm currently a Mommy to two kitties, one bearded dragon and a puppy on the way in August. I'll be married 6 years in June and DH and I are going to start TTC in December, I'll be 29 and he'll be 30. DH has been ready for a baby for a long time now but I've only just come around recently. I currently have nexplanon for BC and I'll have it taken out in August to give my cycle time to come back and track. We recently moved into a two bedroom main level duplex and of course I'm already nursery planning. Can't stop me from decorating that's for sure.

Wow that's rude.

Yesterday my baby lust was a bit high but I remind myself I'll have children when it's meant to be.

 

[Millhaven]

luvmyfam & tverb84: Yeah, I know...She's one year younger than me (I'm 24) and she already has three children...maybe she thought I should get one as well?

Either way, I do want our family to be more than just the two of us and our fur babies.

Can't June come sooner?

Great to see my ticker saying 1 month x days now

 

[Jaxvipe]

Hope everyone is doing good! We finally have some nice weather here so DD has been able to play outside which is so nice and fun to watch!

I need to change my ticker as we will most likely wait until August to TTC. I will be graduating from college in May of next year so that would be perfect!

Hope you ladies are doing well!

There's four women at the gym that I go to that have children. Two of them had their babies this year. In fact, one just had her son a few weeks ago and I feel a bit jealous about that.
