Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[moter98]

Mil is gonna come Sunday and stay overnight so I can have my baby back with me. My SIL is bringing me some stuff to do tomorrow for her business. It's just putting together these little cards with a chocolate on them. Will give me something to do! No bleeding as of yet but cramps off and on. They feel like menstural cramps. I
Think that means its the blood irritating my uterus. Hoping and praying it goes away! And yes, I can hear baby on dopplar. I check once a day now. Hb seems fine. Just keep concentrating on that.

What is causing your toe to be numb? Anything you can do for it?

 

[mailcmm]

As far as they could tell last time it's my back. Baby pinching a nerve. That's great that you can have the cards. It will keep you busy. And that mil will spend the night. Hang in there girl. I am hoping it all gets better.

I Am so sorry Moter about all that you have to go thru. Is there no one that could spend the day with you until dh gets home? Maybe that way ds could. Be at home yet you could still rest. I know how hard it is to be on bed rest. How are you doing otherwise.... Bleeding, cramping etc? Still hearing hb on doppler?

My toe is numb again. Pins and needles numb this time. As for the vaccine. I had no idea Twinkie. Also didn't know they do it at Walgreens. Will let my neighbors know. We spend a lot of time hanging out tp with them so I figured they should get it too. Dr told me even baby sitters should have it. My arm is killing me. Not a pleasant vaccine.

I think Illinois has had a large surge in Whooping cough cases, which is why I am required to get it (well I say required, but I am not sure they can force you to get a vaccine... lets just say it is suggested before you ever leave the hospital). Our walgreens here give them, I am not sure if it is nationwide or not...

I got mine before I left the hospital.

I got the bill yesterday for Olivia NICU stay and it was 40, 000. That does not include any doctors visits that is the hospital stay only.

 

[mailcmm]

My sons final bill was just over $250,000. He had complications though.

Moter... How's it going girl? Hoping to know you're as ok as you can be before my dds horse show. Big day for her today. She may be going up against the girls she used to ride with at another farm.

eek! ours was the same, but that counted hospital for me, baby, and treatment to fix his clubfoot. thank god for insurance!

it's crazy how out of hand hospital bills can get.

same here so far. no more bleeding as of now. hope that is a good thing.

have fun at the horse show! good luck to your daughter.

 

[mailcmm]

So glad you are hanging in there.hopefully god will answer your prayers.

Will post picks later. She is so excited

 

[moter98]

Can't wait to see the pics

SIL brought me movies and those candy bags to do. She needs 500 of those and then 1000 of some brochure bags so I will be plenty busy this week now. It's a good feeling to have something to do. Don't feel useless. And I can do it all while propped up in bed too. Works out perfectly.

 

[mailcmm]

So I forgot my damn camera but her trainer finally posted video from her last show so maybe next show we will get video from this one. My girl is the young one and she is riding against her trainers wife. Weren't expecting to win but she held her own with only a few mistakes. Wait for it to buffer or ya can't see anything. Taylor is riding GP a full bred Arabian. And the wife is riding teak also a full bred Arab. They are gorgeous horses.

As for your candy bags Moter.... Glad its you and not me. I would eat all the candy.

 

[moter98]

wow, look at your little girl all grown up! i've never even been on a horse in my life.

haha, i have been eating them! hard to resist. i told SIL she may be a bag short on chocolate made 138 of them today before i ran out of touling. she will bring me more tomorrow. enough to keep me busy for a week, yay!

 

[mailcmm]

She is quite the adventurer. No fear. At the end when gp freaks out going into the canter I about fell out of my chair but she handled it well and regrouped. Those Arabs have more spirit then I like but they sure are pretty. Today she got one second place and 3 3rd place ribbons. Not a great day but her dad came and that makes her nervous because he thinks riding is a waste of her time. I like her riding because it gives her a sense of control over something much bigger then her and I hope it helps her to stand up to her dad one day. An empowerment exercise.

I am so glad your spirits are up. I thought about, and may still, look into a new book. I need to read and maybe we could read the same book and form the first bnb book club lmao. Just hard becaus ei would finish the book in a day and be waiting impatiently so I didn't ruin it for you. Dh and I will read books together but he gets mad cause I finish and he takes about a week and I give away the good parts. I am a terrible secret keeper. And I thought if you had Netflix instant streaming that I would recommend the supernatural tv series. Definitely entertaining. And has about 7 seasons on Netflix. It's over 100 commercial free episodes.

 

[moter98]

thats good that she has something she loves to do! would scare me too being on those big horses, but she looks like she knows what she's doing. good job on her ribbons.

the bnb book club, lol! you are right, i'd be done with the book in a day. not much to do while doing nothing. i don't have netflix anymore, bt may have to look into getting it again for awhile.

just finished watching the hunger games. So good! wish the next one was out already. not as good as the book of course, but still good.

 

[moter98]

Twilight movie marathon!

Hey all!

Motor - Keep hanging on chickie!! Keep your mind busy and next thing you know you'll be welcoming a baby motor home. Everything that is cross-able is crossed for you and your munchkin.

Mail - Your girl did great! I miss horseback riding so much... seeing her riding really made me wistfull... but she really can handle her own!

So... been super busy lately. We just moved to our new apartment about 3 days ago and I'm still unpacking. How the heck we managed to accrue so much stuff is beyond me... but it's starting to come together. Unpacking has been slowed down a little bit because I've been sick quite a bit the past few days... I swear, if I had of been bd'ing a bunch this cycle I would have thought I was getting morning sickness from how nauseous I was. I had to calm DH down a few times because he thought I was pregnant. I'm pretty confident we aren't, we only bd'd about 3-4 days before my estimated O date... so I'm seriously doubting anything like that.

Anywho... countdown to adoption intake day has begun! We've gotten our invitation... registered, the whole she-bang... now just to wait. We're so excited!

 

[moter98]

thanks colta. hope you are right.

hope you get all unpacked soon. it's always hard to relax till you get everything put away. hope your adoption appt goes well
