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

[moter98]

thanks! it's best case scenario and i am so happy and thankful it turned out this way. first hurdle is overcome. dr said he worried most about those that continue to bleed so no bleeding or blood in uterus is a very good sign. as long as it continues this way, i think my risk for preterm labor and full abruption go down. yay!!!!

 

[mailcmm]

Yes I think as long as you take it easy you should be fine. Not the ideal pregnancy but still a pregnancy and only temporary. A few months and you will be holding your new baby boy. How are Ames coming? Hav you checked out pinterest?

 

[moter98]

yeah, not ideal, but could be much worse. i will take it! and restrictions may be lifted after 20 weeks. you can bet dh will be on pins and needles to hear of pelvic rest is lifted, lol! i don't know if i will risk it anyway. really scared to bd now.
i'm still trying to convince dh of Alec or Alex. my favorite is Alexander Grant. my in-laws are already calling baby Alex, so I think we can wear dh down, lol!
haven't checked out pinterest. have so much to do with ds and googling my new diagnosis, ha!

 

[mailcmm]

I like Alex. Great name. I wouldnt bd either. I'd say sorry hun but you'll survive. I just wouldn't want to take any chances. But if I know my dh he wouldn't let me. As it is now he makes me sit down and does everything himself. It's annoying but sweet and I haven't had any problems. He treats me like I am made of glass. Lol it's sweet. At first I was annoyed but now I am thinking its a good thing so I can rest for when Finn gets here.

 

[moter98]

i do too. everyone else does, just gotta convince dh. he didn't like Aden either at first and now couldn't see ds named anything else.
my dh made sure i specifically asked if we could bd yet, lol! if dr gives ok, he will be pestering me and pestering me i know. i'm just really scared of it causing contractions. fine in a normal pregnancy, but with that blood that already irritated the uterus, i don't want to upset it anymore.
dh has been doing more around here, it's been really great actually. wish he would always do so much, lol! but i know it's been hard on him too, what with how busy he is working at the moment. good news is things should slow down by next month and then he will not work so much for the whole winter. perfect timing really.

 

[moter98]

anyone know of any websites with adorable baby boy clothes? since i can't go to the store i wanna browse online.

 

[mailcmm]

Baby boy clothes are horrible. Lol it's kinda depressing. I have thought of starting a clothes line. Lol

What if you tell dh you don't want to? I told dh I don't want to. He seems to be ok with it. My lady parts are swollen and it hurts. Once I said that I think it turned him off. He doesn't even ask. Lol we still snuggle and kiss but nothing else. I think he doesn't enjoy it knowing that I can't.

 

[moter98]

i've found some cute ones in the stores. gotta do a little extra digging. i just make sure to totally avoid looking at the girl clothes cause i know i will be disappointed in the boy selection then. there is always a much smaller selection, but i manage to find cute stuff. only now i can't go shopping, sigh. i haven't found anything cute online. all the newborn stuff online have like grown up outfits. sweatshirts and jeans. wtf? where's the cute outfits with teddy bears and monkey on them?

 

[mailcmm]

Amazon. They have tons of bears monkeys rainforest. Lol I have been looking for an outfit to wear home from the hospital. I don't wan pajamas but that's all they have. I also don't like the elastic cotton pants with a onesie look. I like one piece outfits but was hoping for something more then what I have seen.

 

[moter98]

i have been looking too and it's slim pickings so far. i had no trouble with ds. may have to resort to using one of his nb outfits. though not the one i used for his coming home outfit. ds i did monkeys, lots and lots of monkeys. this boy i would like to do lions or giraffe's, but darn if i can find anything that doesn't look like a teenager outfit!

 

[mailcmm]

I always swear by overalls. Finn already has a ton. I love the way they look on little boys

 

[moter98]

Gonna wait till after the fall
Clothes are gone. Looking for winter NB clothes. Maybe I will be able to go shopping after my 20 week scan. Who knows.

 

[BERDC99]

Hey girls. Glad to see you are all doing great.

Motor glad the tear is gone.

Colts good luck tomorrow.

Mail before long you will be delivering.

Twinky no updates from today?

Menb where are you?

I am back to work. Olivia is doing great. She weighs almost nine pounds now. She is starting to coo and have real smiles. Not just the gas ones. We do have to take her to a surgeon next week because she still has a hernia the size of a half dollar. Prayers needs that it does heal on it's own.

I am having problems with my bp. Never had problems with it till I got pre-e. Will update lafter.

 

[BERDC99]

Olivia

 

[MightyMom]

OMG Berd she is so precious!! I'll keep her in my thoughts. Hope that you get better too!

Thanks and congrats to you.

motor- I agree shopping for boys stuff is depressing! They will have one rack of boys for every 4 racks of girls stuff! Liam has a ton of carter's stuff, you might want to check out their website (or some of the department stores that sells carters). I just found this little outfit on the Macy's website and I really want to get it! (the football one)

Just a warning Monkeys seem to be the big thing for boys again! I got so many things with monkeys on them!

 

[moter98]

Berdc, Olivia is adorable. Gives me baby fever. Hope her hernia resolves on its own and your bp stabilizes

Thanks. I'll check out Carter's website. We don't do sports outfits reallys unless it's pool or poker lol! Me and dh aren't into sports really. I love the outfit next to it with the little tie on it though. I will have to check out Macy's website too.
Oh no, no more monkeys. They are adorable and all, but we already have a ton from ds that this baby will wear. I would like a to get a few different things so their baby pictures aren't all with them wearing the same outfits.

Heidi Klum is coming out with a line of clothing at Babies R Us. My mom said she saw a preview and the boys stuff has mostly dinosaurs and monsters...

When DS was little everything had puppy dogs on it, but half of poor Liam's clothes are monkeys! Kohls carries some cute clothes too. You might find something there (but thier website kind of sucks)... Are you looking for more the body suits with matching pants and bibs and stuff? Or for more sleepers? I really wish there were selections for boys. I am like mail and when I had DS I swore I was going to open a children's boutique that only carried boy clothes!
