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

Haha sorry TV, I guess I was reading too fast!

Has anyone ever had hormone problems after they had their babies? Little guy is 4 months old and I am still having hot flashes and mood swings. It is rediculous! I am hoping that things will settle down soon!

mine took forever to regulate after ds. i think by 8 months PP i started feeling normal again.

OMG I could have 4 more months of this??? I was in the middle of a hot flash and my friend asked if I was sure I wasn't pregnant again, LOL. Nope but I sure feel like it sometimes!

Haha! Chances are you won't....it should be over soon

twinkie: Apparently she isn't due until late Feb. I'm shocked that she's not on bedrest, but I guess not everyone is as terrified of complications...

It took probably a year or more for my hormones to re-regulate. And they never went back to how they were before. But I did start to feel normal emotionally at 12 or 13 months. I think everyone is different, probably also because I was BFing until 11 months so maybe that had something to do with it?

They do say give yourself 12 months for hormones to get back to normal

Morning all. Left my iPad at the inlaws over the weekend so have been stalking but commenting from my phone is a disaster. Sounds like everyone is good. Wish we had snow. Still warm here. Gets colder at night though. We had our first terrible night with Finn the night before last. It was awful. But luckily he was back to normal last night. I think it was having grandma here for the weekend. She held him continuously. Next time I may have to say something. Don't want to go thru that again. Lol. Looks like we will have a bunch of new babies soon.... Moter, tv, bray, and mighty in that order I believe. Can't believe how far we've come.

Colta.... Ttc news? Have you gone to the dr? Keep us updated.

One bad day at almost 3wks old though...not a bad track record. Glad to hear he's back to normal though. He sounds like such a laid back easy going fella
I'm really hoping Abby takes after me! My mom said I was just such an easy baby. I guess I slept through the night pretty much day one and just always seemed content, never in a rush or anything. Just happy to be there I guess, lol. My mother swears that all four of us girls have the same "personality" that we had as babies. What do you guys think, those who have babies that aren't exactly "babies" anymore?

Olivia started saying Da Da last night and hasn't stopped since. She is growing up so fast. Seems like just last week she was this 3 pound baby now she is almost setting up and doing something new everyday.

 

[mailcmm]

Bray... My first 2 were excellent babies. Now? Not so much. Lol but now I can send them to their room whereas you can't send an infant away so ill take it. Lol

Berdc... That is great. Isn't it amazing how fast they grow? Finn has been lifting his head up since he was 3 days old. Guess that would be our first milestone. He's strong and can hurt your nose if you aren't careful. Lol

My boys had distinct personalities from the time they were in my belly, LOL. DS #1 was laid back as a baby kind of lazy really, LOL. His delivery fit his personality. He was in no hurry to get here and ended up being pulled out (forcept delivery). I always tell him he would have just stayed in there if the Dr. would have let him! He was a pretty easy going baby too. Didn't cry much, just kind of chilled. He didn't roll over until 5 months old because he enjoyed just laying around LOL. Even now he is super lazy (probably gets that from me) and is never in a hurry. He is the most easy going child, teachers love him NOW, DS #2 on the other hand is the exact opposite. He is my trouble maker! He was a mover and a shaker during my pregnancy (I could feel actual kicks by 16 weeks and DS and DH could feel him kicking by 19) I had preterm labor with him and he was breech (I told you all trouble! This one has a mind of his own LOL). He is not a bad baby, just very inquisitive. From about 3 or 4 weeks old he has been scooting himself all over his crib and rolled over at 3.5 months (way faster than my first). He is also very opinionated and likes to yell at just about anyone or anything, LOL. He will sit and yell at the sesame street characters on the TV, not cry, just talk and yell. He is going to be a motor mouth and into EVERYTHING!

So Long story short, yup they have their very own personalities that have not changed!

 

[MightyMom]

Maybe he reached his first Wonder Week. It's usually in week 4 or 5 but he was a little late wasn't he?

Berd: I can't believe how big she is already!! Your status still says "Mother of one and expecting" and sometimes I still think back to when you were waiting for her to get here.

 

[mailcmm]

The wonder weeks are cool. Will have to finish reading them all tonight. Also thanks for pointing out the status to berdc... I changed mine. Lol

 

[menb]

Hey ladies!
Glad all is well with everyone. Just popping in too say hey!
This was the longest 4-day week ever. So glad for the weekend!

 

[colta]

Hey ladies... sorry I've been AWOL for the past little bit. Me and DH have been dealing with a couple different things lately, and I just haven't felt up to posting.
I've been keeping up though with everyone and I really enjoyed hearing about all of your LO's...

As it stands this month, we really didn't ttc. We bd'd, but there was only one day that could have possibly lead to us concieving this month. I also didn't temp/chart/take my temp/take opk's... anything. Simply because of some emotional things DH and I have both been going through.

That being said... I'm kinda in a state of WTF. I had just gotten comfortable with the fact that I may not be able to conceive right now, that it would take extensive help from a Dr to be able to (I have discussed things with a doc, still not to sure on things yet).... and now I'm 3, going on 4 days late. My boobs are on fire, I'm exhausted... cranky and just generally feeling crappy.

I took a test on cd28, but was too impatient and took it at night with less than concentrated urine.. and it was negative. I haven't tested since because I've basically convinced myself that there is no way in HELL I could be pregnant right now.... and I just got my head back to a good place and I'm freaking out. If AF is not here by Sunday morning, I'm testing... but right now I'm just in a weird place.

Did you test today?

 

[mailcmm]

Colta... Did you test? Hope things get better. Really hope you get your bfp. You truly deserve it.

 

[moter98]

colta, have you tested? rooting for you!

isn't it amazing what a difference it can make for a baby being held constantly? that's something i'm gonna keep in mind when baby comes! though i doubt DS is gonna let me hold baby all the time...i think he will be a bit jealous.
saw your fb post with dragon binky...that thing is so cute! where did you get it?

oh wow, first word already?! what a smart girl. you must be so proud.

 

[mailcmm]

My bro and his wife got it. You can get it at amazon. Finn loves his dragon. I just ordered the long horn bull too. I am not a fan of these pacifiers because it can't be detached from the stuffy.

 

[moter98]

Ok thanks!

I bought the book and kept up with each one. It really helped me to empathize when DD was super cranky or non-stop crying. And I could step back and say "She's going through a big change and it's scary so I should just try to help her through as best I can." I tell you, it's amazing how something so small can drive you mad sometimes and the next you're cooing at them and wishing you had four more.
