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

Motor: We used the Pacimals brand. The pacis detach from the lovey so that they can be washed/sterilized seperately which we did a lot. There are also Wubanubs that are the same thing. I get my Pacimals off of Amazon because they stopped selling them at our baby store. But Wubanubs and the replacement pacis are more widely available and you can get them at Target or Walmart.

Morning all. How is everyone?

Moter... Are you gonna pop yet? Lol so close girly!

Colta... Did the witch get you?

Bray... I need to pay you for some crocheted items. Lovin the pics.

Mommies... How are the babies doing?

Tv... Did your power come back on?

Mighty... Will have to look into that book. So far the only time he fusses is from gas. Lol he's a fartin fool!

 

[moter98]

I hope soon mail. Have dr appt in an hour so will see if I've made any progress. Really hoping these period like cramps I've been having mean I'm dilating. I'm ready to get this baby out! So uncomfortable and impatient to finally be holding my LO

 

[baby_bray]

Lol, everyone says I'm nesting, so I guess it must be true! I've been crocheting up a storm. My grandmother must have tried to teach me 100 times when I was young and I couldn't figure it out for anything. No idea how it's all clicked now after 1 book and a few youtube videos! I think most of the motivation came from all the cute stuff I wanted to buy and they were anywhere from $25-$50 (!?) for some sets!! No thank you!!!!

afm pregnancy-wise: I'm just starting to get to the slightly uncomfy stage...I wouldn't say I'm sore or in pain, but just more awkward and weird. Sleeping is becoming more of a wrestling match with the covers and since I'm finally starting to slow down, all the sitting is making my lowerback feel stressed...
DH said the "sweetest" guy-compliment the other day, he told me he "really thought I would have been this big about two months ago" hahahaha. He's such a goober. He really did mean it in a sweet way, it was just such a strange way to put it.

 

[moter98]

no progress here. dr thinks i will go till at least 39 weeks. he thinks baby will be close to same size as my first, maybe just a bit bigger.

AF got me... and got me good. Called my doc... basically hit the last nail on the head for a potential endo diagnosis. Doc wants to look at scheduling a laproscopy sometime in the future for a proper diagnosis, but for now wants me to go on birth control to help manage the symptoms...

So that's where I'm at right now... doc said it'll probably be a few months before we'll get the actual procedure done... so I dunno any more. Just another thing in a long line of crappiness that's been following me lately.

 

[BERDC99]

The unemployed life is killing me. I am so ready to go back to work and this is only my third week. I love having more time with the family but I need more adult interaction.

i'm sorry colta,hope it all gets sorted. has dr mentioned trying an hsg to help "clear" things out in there? i've read of so many with endo on here that had that done and got pregnant within 3 cycles.

One of my friends has endo and she has had surgery to remove some of the growth and has been able to conceive 6 times since, unfornately she has also suffered several losses, but has two beautiful boys also. I hope you can get the laproscopy soon and you will be back on the TTC train!

What size was your 1st? Did the dr check your cervix?

ds was 6 lbs 12 oz and i had him at 39+2. yeah i was a fingertip dilated and he could feel babies head at 36 weeks, same this week. dr said that's pretty normal to be a fingertip though in second pregnancy so i've likely been that this whole time.

My ds was 6lb 12oz @ 39+4 but been told this one is going to be more like 8lb. Oh right mw here wont check your cervix at all until your past 40 weeks i believe just hope this one comes around same time as ds did.

We have hit our first growth spurt. Little man is eating a ton of food. He was eating 4 oz every 3-4 hours now he is eating 4-5 oz every 2.5-3 oz. I don't remember my kids eating this much this early. I keep worrying I am over feeding him but I have tried all else to soothe him and he really is just supper hungry. Of course as soon as the bottle is done he is asleep but when it's time for the next one he is ravenous. So I give him 4oz and see if he goes back to sleep (not tht i want him to sleep, but if hes not eating or pooping hes sleeping lol) if he freaks out I do the diapers, extra burp, etc but he always wants an oz or 2 more and then pops off to sleep. I read that when they sleep they grow... At this rate he will be 6' by next month lol

oh really? we get checked starting 36 weeks here.....although i suppose it really doesn't make a difference, baby will come when ready anyway. it kinda gets my hopes up every week and then i just get let down since i've made no progress.
are you measuring bigger? maybe LO will come earlier then

he's just working on growing big and strong mommy! for the first 10-12 weeks they should just feed on demand, then after that it will be easier to establish a feeding schedule. at least according to my book lol
