Hi everyone! Happy new year!!!!
I accidentally went to the first page of this thread and thought everyone was pregnant again lol!!
Futuremama so glad you are here!! Good job pumping! It didn't work well for me as not much would come out! It's a lot of work so be proud of yourself. So glad you have your baby in your arms! Is everything ok now with your blood pressure? It sounds like maya was not growth restricted right? She seemed pretty big for 15 days early. Do they usually induce for growth restricted because they worry they are not getting enough nutrients inside? What size did they think she was? Sorry for all the questions, just curious as I feel the scans are always off. THey thought giada was a bit over 6 pounds according the scan and she was almost 8.5. My sister in law they induced bc they thought her baby was too big and he was about 7.5. These scans seem a bit off! Either way so glad you and baby are safe!
It's been so crazy at holiday time, I am glad it is coming to an end.
Can't wait to hear of your first scan ladyl, and how people react to the shirt!!! You must be so excited!
So great to hear from you workingttc! Keeping my fingers crossed for you for a quick bfp! Don't worry at all about your age. I was 36 when getting pg with giada, and had just come off the pill after over 20 years! I started early due to irregular cycles and I had some off times where I didn't take it, but it was mostly on. It took me 6 cycles of ttc, but 3 of those didn't count as we couldn't try at the right time of month for one reason of another. So really it only took 3 cycles. I think if you ovulate each month and you are tracking it then your chances are pretty good compared to someone who doesn't track it and isn't even sure if she is ovulating. Plus for many the second time around is easier. Hoping it is that way for you!
Dreamer I hope you are having a wonderful trip! I am jealous you get to got to gordon ramsey's restaurant!! I watch all of his shows!!
Lilrojo my fingers are crossed for you! When is testing day??
Trixie I am having g's party this sunday - eeeks! It's mostly adults. There will be 3 kids there between the ages of 3 and 5. I hadn't even thought about games!! Curious to hear if anyone has some good ideas? We are ordering sandwiches and salad and I am making a rubber ducky cake. GIada loves her ducky so we decided to do that theme. For her bday we bought her a charm bracelet from pandora and a ducky charm. We are going to add one every bday. Her actual bday is the 9th. I seriously can't believe it!! She is doing more things now. She is now holding up her toys for me to look at, yay!! I am getting a little less worried about autism. She recognized the names of all of her books, which I had no idea she knew. ANd a couple times she has handed us the book. Still no words, just babble.
I am so undecided about having another child. I was talking to dh today and he said no way. I'm not sure how I feel. He is worried about finances and feels pressure since he is the one with the good job right now. My job will never pay a ton as I am a therapist and unless I build a good private practice I just won't get paid that much. Financially we are doing well, but I see that as he is the one supporting the family, it is a lot of pressure on him. I know I could convince him, but I'm just not sure what I want. Anyone else feeling indecisive? Anyone else worried about their body after another one? My back is still bothering me, and now I have a bad knee. I still have that stupid line down my stomach! Ugh I just wish I had a crystal ball!
Hope everyone is well!
