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

[baby_bray]

Mail, I like what Twinkie said. Let him do his thing and whatever will be, will be. Hope the back/hip pain lets up though...my sciatic pain was so horrible until about 19wks when she finally "escaped" my pelvis...I can't even imagine not even being able to straighten or lay on my side...stick in there

AFM: Had my big 20wk anatomy scan and everything went wonderfully. Abigail is *still* a girl! *whew* We'd be happy with either gender but once we found out girl and bought a few things, it was like my big fear that the next ultrasound they'd say boy, lol! She measured in at 20+5 @ 20+6, pretty close to being right on track. Estimated weight was a bit over 14oz. She was just lovely...
She's breech right now, but it's still way early, so that's what I'd expect. She was extremely active, bouncing and squirming all around, it was so cute. I'll see about editing a pic into this post when I get home.

I wish the pain was pregnancy related but had been suffering with this for years before this pregnancy. I lived on flexeril and hydrocodone on bad days. Now I can't take anything. Now the little bugger has added tachycardia to the list of crap pregnancy symptoms. Finally got my heart rate down at 10pm. 6hrs of a rapid heart rate was awful. Feeling better and ready for bed. Just disappointed in the election.

heavy heart today stupid election business ruined my day!

mail, hope you can hang in there a get through these last weeks. maybe you have just 6 weeks or less to go since Finn is so big, they will probably want to take him early. then you can get your back all sorted out finally!

Congrats on V-Day TV!!!! I can't wait to hit mine, just 3 more weeks.....

 

[mailcmm]

31 weeks today! Almost there. So ready to hold my baby. Ready for my heart rate to get normal. Still over 100 but no crazy spikes. Back getting worse. I think the ligaments have started to relax? Takes effort to get my legs moving. Feels really wierd like my brain says move and there is a delay. Lol


How is everyone? Colta where are you in this cycle? What are you doing differently?

My favorite 2 from my 20wk U/S. A sweet little profile and a cool little view of nose/nostrils and lips, looking straight on

So glad to check in and see that everyone is doing well!

Mail, I hope your discomfort subsides soon or enough for you to enjoy these last few weeks of closeness with your baby.

Colta, sorry about AF, but it's not over yet! DTD every other day and let's catch that eggy!!

Berdc, Olivia is such a cutie! 12 pounds! Wow!! Good job, Mama! Yeah, either going back to work November 27 or December 17. Still trying to figure out if they'll let me take 3 additional weeks (even if don't get paid).

Moter, glad your doc appointment went well, you're off bed rest and the doc thinks all will be good.

TV, yay for V-Day!!! Wahoo...

Twinkie, wow Liam is do much bigger than the twins already. I guess they'll catch up soon enough. He always looks so happy! Why does your husband want you to stop pumping?

Bray, that shirt is too cute and clever. I'm pretty sure we're done, but if not, I'll definitely be stealing that idea!

Mighty, how's it going with you?

We had a NICU follow-up appointment last week and the twins are doing fantastic. They are hitting many developmental milestones right on time. They are up to 10lbs12oz (K) and 10lbs10oz (B). Yep, he's caught up to her finally. That's because he takes almost 5oz of breastmilk each feeding and she's still taking 4oz. The doc was shocked and impressed that either was taking that much. I guess they really are doing well for 16 weeks (10 weeks adjusted).

Well, Bernard just showed me how to use Tumblr & Jnstagrsm so check out some newly posted pics! Check em out!

Hey all... hows everyone doing?

Menb - Glad to hear the twins are doing good.
TV - Yay for V day!
Motor - on doctor appt...

That's all I can remember right now.

I'm getting close to ovulation and believe. I've been temping and whatnot and have been bd'ing every other day.... I dunno, we're not at 'red alert' of ttc'ing just yet.
I've had a pretty emotional week though. I was doing my pediatric rotation for nursing this week and just found out that a lil baby that was in the PICU has passed away. It's extremely sad, we were really routing for the poor little guy. I can't imagine what his poor parents are going through.

Sorry I haven't been on much! I received surprise orders and will be moving on Saturday. It is short notice to say the least and I've been struggling to pack what I will need between moves. My gender scan is Wed. as well as a teeth cleaning I am in desperate need of. Haven't had so many negative pregnancy symptoms in my LIFE but my goodness Cole-Cat is insistent on making this miserable for me. Had a terrible bought of MS on Thursday, could barely keep anything down. Just as quick, it was gone! Trying to sell as much as possible between now and Saturday, it is all just very time consuming. I'm sure I'll be on more once we are moved and settled. Hope everyone is doing well!

Mighty... I feel ya!!! Everyday it seems there is something else.

I have bronchitis. Went to the ER because the cough is horrific. Heart rate still over 100. This am is was 120. Had chest pains Friday night but not sure if it was heartburn or a heart attack but it went away. Now I can only pee if I squat. Sitting seems to block my ability to go. And the icky hemerriods have reared their ugly head. Never been so miserable in my life. But hey I got to listen to Finn for an hour today. They did an nst at the hospital. All was good. At least he's happy lol

 

[baby_bray]

Aww...mail. You're definitely getting a rough go at things...hope Finn doesn't try and throw in too many more surprises before he makes his arrival.

 

[moter98]

Oh mail, I feel so bad for you! You make sure your dh helps out as much as possible. Maybe he should give you a daily massage and run you a bath, and take care of the kids.

 

[mailcmm]

He has it too. We are both laid up. Fever, horrible coughs, etc. at least he can take medicine though.
