Clomid Club Graduate Buddies

lol... like the shot of my ass that my DH took when I bent over at the pumpkin patch??
If you look through my wedding album on facebook, there are a couple of pictures by the cake where I look really really stupid. I tend to hide or delete the pictures where I look crappy though.

I developed the skill for reading in the shower when I was a kid and could not stand to put my book down long enough to clean myself, lol. Its not so hard, but not worth the risk of dropping or water on a kindle.

I'm so mad right now, and its totally selfish.. DH got called away by my MIL to take her to the hospital because she thinks she hurt her head in her fall yesterday. I know that so wrong that I'm mad, but I feel like she's totally blowing things out of proportion... surely they checked her for head injury yesterday? And even if it were a concussion, the first 12-24 hours are the most important and those are already past.. they really can't do anything unless its a severe concussion with bleeding etc.
I think my MIL is always looking for science to fix her instead of taking proper care of herself.
I'm also mad because she has 2 other grown-ass kids who live with her, why does she have to call my husband away to help her?! I almost secretly wonder if she thought he'd bring Daniel along and she'd get to see her grandson an extra time.

We had SO much to do this weekend, didn't get to half of it, and now have to abandon most of the other stuff that needed to get done. Its like pulling teeth to get my DH to do ANYTHING and now taking his mom to the hospital is going to take up some of his chore energy, leaving more for me to do. We didn't even get to finish carving our pumpkins, he's not going to get to go to the pumpkin patch with us to see those friends (who I decided not to flake on).. we had to abandon the idea of going to that other party because we had too much to do. I had Daniel most of the morning and now am stuck with him for most of the afternoon etc.
Just feeling sorry for myself. I really hope nothing is wrong with my MIL, but at the same time, there better be something wrong to justify her calling my husband away from his family time!

ok, so figured I'd update and say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with my MIL... medically that is...
SIGH

 

[kcw81]

Oh brother Lisa! Well that's good that she isn't concussed I guess. I guess I can't focus on yr mil right now because I can't figure out the reading in
The shower thing still! Ha! Can't compute that!

 

[lisaf]

LMAO... you hold the book in one hand, hold that hand above the water... you do everything in the shower one-handed until the very end when you balance the book on top of the shower and clean that arm, then you're done, hehe

 

[kcw81]

Amazing Lisa! I think u might get cleaner if u can use both hands in the shower tho. I got to go see a movie tonight by myself and it was so nice. I saw paranormal activity 3 and it was good! Freaky! Now I have seen 2 and 3 but not 1 !

 

[lisaf]

I can't watch those movies.. I became a total light-weight when it comes to scary stuff

I get plenty clean.. can't shave anything one-handed though, lol

Hi girls

I love reading too. (as you can imagine from an English teacher! My degree was also in English Literature) I used to read at least two books a week before Ben came along! Now I read NOTHING! I don't even get to watch tv in th evening never mind read!!

But I also used to read in the shower Casey- exactly how Lisa described! It's easy!! And in the bath, walking the dogs (get some funny looks off people!!) and while watching tv!!

I think another thing that has stopped me reading (as well as Ben) is the iPhone!!! I just sit and play around on here now and read forums and stuff instead of a book! Quite disturbing really.....

 

[SBB]

I'm the same, I used to read til I had the iPhone

I can't remember what I was reading... Lisa glad your MIL is ok! Veronique that must have been hard photographing babies all the time while ttc... Well soon it will be yours! How are the pains?

Casey yes sammuel stands, his time is spent like this: 25% crawling/squealing, 25% standing, 25% eating or feeding, 10% attacking cats, 5% clapping, 5% drumming, 5% sleeping

He is getting pretty good at standing and can stand for a while not holding on, but when he realises that he sits down!!

X x x

 

[kcw81]

Wow u guys are crazy reading in the shower! And walking around i would trip! Yeah the darn iPod is addictive!

Suz that's great! Do u have a Vid of him standing? Jimmy hovered once or twice and he was so wobbly! It really excited him, he was Yelping.

Hi ladies,
Quick update as I am at work! Gynecologist is well freaked out by the pains so she is seeing me tonight. I am finally getting my HSG tested! I am so glad she is back from holiday. I don't suppose they will scan me tonight but I am hoping tomorrow. I am nervous the pains are not normal but when I feel fine I fell SO fine! I just have this weird sensation that things are actually ok (I am a worrier so very strange for me to feel it will be fine... Might be what they call maternal instinct!)
Will update you later x hope everyone is well!
Happy birthday to Laura again!

V x

 

[kcw81]

Happy bday Laura!

Good luck tonight veron! Keep us updated!

Is chell back today?

 

[lisaf]

Good luck Veron!

YAY!!! See? I'm not a freak for reading in the shower

Having a weird issue with my eye though, trying not to be paranoid, lol.

 

[SBB]

V I'm sure you're right and everything is fine. Honestly I had so many pains! It's easy to worry until you know though... Actually it's easy to worry the entire 9 months!!

Casey I will try and do a video for you.

Laura happy birthday!! Hope you get a baby

Happy Birthday Laura and Cat

 

[laura6914]

thanks ladies.

Still no baby but did get some nice new clothes for after the bump has gone
Feel soooo ill tonight. MAJOR headaches that wont go away, so sick and very tired. Shaes routine is out the window with the hour change.

V, hope all goes well at the gyno.

xx

 

[Euronova]

I hope you feel better soon Laura!
Thank you all for your messages
Finally back from the hospital. The doctor has given me medication to help with the constipation (pregnancy does get you to loose all sense of privacy... OH came with me and we ended talking poops and winds... LOVELY), so hopefully if that is resolved the pains might not be so bad anymore.
She thinks this might be the problem but wants to rule out the ectopic. I had a blood test tonight and need to do another one on Wednesday, she said that in ectopic pregnancies the HSG levels tend not to raise normally.
Depending on that, I will either get a scan end of this week or we will wait until I am 7 weeks so we will be able to see the heartbeat for sure. She said if i had a scan tomorrow as it's still so early and there can be a few days difference between when you think you conceived and when you really did, they might not even be able to see very much at all.
She also wants to rule out a cyst from the clomid as it could also be a cause of pain.
Anyway, I feel taken care of so very happy

 

[laura6914]

thats great news V that they are looking after you. Im sure all is fine. Sounds nornal to me.
She is right about the scans. At this stage you wont see much. I didnt at my 5 week scan. All that could be seen was the yoke sac. Then at 7 weeks a little bean with a heart beat.

Well im not enjoying the last bit of this pregnancy AT ALL!!!!
For 3 days now i have had the worst headache ever. Paracetamol just wont shift it.
Today i feel like i have a bowling ball in the bottom of my tummy. It kills. I keep getting shooting pains in my cervix and bum. I just want it all to be over now.
I have my MW appt tomorrow so im going to beg for a sweep. Im 1cm dilated so i know she can do it. I cant even hold shae without it hurting cause of the pressure on my bump

 

[laura6914]

wow no one has been on at all today. hope everyone is well.

xx

 

[lisaf]

aw Laura.. hope she comes soon!
I'm just popping in and out, desperately trying to stay awake at work!
