[CLOSED GROUP] TTC to 1st diaper - Welcome Freya! Congrats to fezzle!

[ClandestineTX]

@Lilly: I still hope you never get to that HSG!

@Snackimals: I am in full support of you partying your ass off until your surgery! May as well while you know you can get away with it!

@Twag: so excited for your scan tomorrow and not at all worried about your exam results!

@Ameli: such good progress for you!

AFM... 9 DPO, not temping anymore as of 7 DPO, and not testing until 14 DPO (Saturday)... just keeping myself otherwise entertained!

 

[Fezzle]

That all sounds really great, Ameli! Can't wait to hear about the scan.

Looking forward to your news in a bit, Twag!

I can't wait to be at 16 weeks- right now it seems so far away and uncertain!

Snack- we can have a virtual bachelorette party for you

I have nothing interesting to report- I've just started the long wait to O and now that most things in the house are unpacked and work is very dead, I have little to distract me from TTC. I'm going to start exercising more though. I have an appointment at the end of the month to check my documents for my UK citizenship application- I'm excited about that!

 

[Twag]

Snack - No DH doesn't come with me to every appointment there really is no need it would have been nice for him to come this time if I knew for certain we were hearing the heartbeat but then our friend offered for us to borrow their doppler so he still will - he does come to the scan appointments tho

I will update you ladies as soon as I am back at work

I am so pleased you ladies are not worried about my exam results as I sure am this is the last ever exam so IF I have passed no more exams EVER FXd I did enough for a pass I do not want honors just a pass

 

[ClandestineTX]

I know that feeling Twag - just want it OVER - well done would be a bonus! GL to you!

 

[Snackimals]

Just trying to get a sense of the 'norm' regards standards for men and their appointment attendance

Clandie: all looks good so far! Don't blame you for relaxing bout temps for the next week. No need for added stress, let US just party like the rock-stars we are.

Fezzle: We should have a 'virtual party'... it would be splendid! And needed, in my case. Also, always happy to hear other ladies take interest in getting all healthy'd up! You got my support, 100% !

 

[MIZZYD]

When is the wedding Snack?

 

[Twag]

I heard baby's heartbeat today nice and strong

 

[Snackimals]

awww.... Twaggy!

MIZZ: i'm looking forward to a post-wedding party... hahaha. there should be a send-off party for ladies about to TTC, right? like, even bigger than a 'getting married' party... Having babies is a life changer after all.

 

[MIZZYD]

Very life changing!!

 

[LillyTame]

Awww Twag! Glad you heard your baby's heartbeat

 

[Fezzle]

That is so true. My OH and I have decided if we get married it'll probably be years down the road after we buy a house and have children, so by then a bachelorette party will be pointless!

I feel like I've been having one long bachelorette party for the past 12 years though, so I'm good.

 

[ClandestineTX]

We had a joint-venture bar hopping evening the Friday before our Sunday wedding. We don't have as much fun apart, and rarely go out. Plus we had a destination wedding, so was much more fun to catch up with lots of our guests that way!

And I haven't temped or tested and I'm 11 DPO. Holding strong until Saturday, holding strong!

 

[Fezzle]

Well done, Clandie- so strong!!

 

[ClandestineTX]

Oddly, I think I've lost my urge to test even tomorrow. I'm not feeling particularly PMS'd or pregnant, expect she-who-should-not-be-named either tomorrow or Sunday. I'm not sure I believe the b-vitamin or thyroid hormone issues were addressed early enough in this cycle to make this possible (started the supplement and new medication the day of ovulation).

 

[MIZZYD]

FX for you Clandestine.

 

[Ameli]

Hi everyone! just wanted to check in and see how you're all doing. From journals I keep up with everyone except Lamago or MrsNorcal, but I don't want this thread to die off. So glad this week is almost over. I had kind of a rough day yesterday and transformed into an emotional pregnancy monster (Poor OH!), but feel better after getting almost 10 hours of sleep last night. P.S. I have my anatomy scan on Monday!

 

[Mrs. JJ]

YAY Ameli!! So excited for your anatomy scan!

I have been so busy with work, I'm trying to keep up with journals but I've fallen behind. *sigh*

I also have my first appt on Monday. Just a couple more days!!! I'm dying to know everything is alright.

 

[Ameli]

Oh yeah, I almost forgot - your 1st midwife appt is Monday too! Can't wait to hear how it goes, Mrs. JJ!

 

[txbiscuit]

Good luck with your appointments! I will think positive thoughts for all of us on Monday (I have my 3-hour glucose test).

My updates: Today I ordered all of the major furniture for E's room (crib, dresser, rocking chair). It should arrive in about 4-6 weeks. We have a bookshelf, but it is currently being used in our rumpus room, so we'll need to get a bigger bookshelf for our books. We have picked curtains and a rug, but I'm waiting until I have a coupon to order those. I think we'll also need some sort of toy storage system(s?), but I'm having trouble finding anything I like.

OH and his dad installed E's closet on Monday. I came home in a foul mood and took it apart and redid it myself. (In my defense, they had installed the top clothes rack so high that I couldn't reach it...) I'll take a picture if I remember after class tonight.

 

[Mrs. JJ]

I can't wait for nursery pics!!!

Fx'd for your glucose test!!!!!!!!!!
