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

[mailcmm]

I agree. My family comes before everything else. I guess that's why I don't get her family values. Unfortunately I can't fix their marriage. I can just hope my bro ekes up. Sad part is I like her a lot. Just want to shake her sometimes and scream what are you doing?

 

[moter98]

Maybe he could suggest to her that there are lots of things that they can do as a family. This way she still gets out of the house and they are still spending time together as a family.

 

[mailcmm]

Because its not about just getting out of the house. She has to be known and at the top of everything. And her idea of a good night is a night away from the kids. Which I don't get lol. She is off on Fridays and the toddler goes to day care and son goes to school followed by aftercare. She spends the whole day alone. She works m-th til 7 and goes off to her committees so doesn't see the kids during the week. If that were me I would spend every Friday doing things with the baby and getting son ASAP to hang with him. I don't think she knows how to be a mom

 

[moter98]

I just couldn't imagine. Ds is my whole life. I woul not be able to be away from him that much.

 

[mailcmm]

I know. But they don't think they are doing anything wrong. That's the hard part. You can't suggest that they don't spend enough time with the kids without a war. My dad said something once. Told her she was on too many committees and needed to be at home more. We didn't see them for 2 months. So now we keep our opinions to ourselves. I am just glad she didn't bring up her infidelity last night and try to apologize. I may have said something then. I know that when she apologizes we all need to forgive her to keep peace but I am not ready to choke out those words yet. Last night I would have said all the wrong things. Especially after seeing my brother so defeated and beating himself up. And he is 100% convinced he caused this. I really tried to talk some sense into him. He just won't hear it.

3 more days to my ultrasound. Don't know whether to be excited or scared so I am maintaining a neutral position between the 2. Lol I am just ready for all the ttc girls to be in the tww, and then on the pregnancy bus. Odds are at least one of y'all will be next. I wonder who it will be?

I have 23 more days till my next u/s. It is driving me crazy having to wait so long, but I guess I have to. I will be 12+3 on that day. The first trimester goes sooooo slow. I wish it would hurry up.

I broke a tooth yesterday. Not in any pain just bothers me when I feel it. Guess I shouldn't have been eating those gobstoppers.

Hey all! On a slightly ttc unrelated note... I have found the most entertaining workout! Dance Central for the Xbox 360 kinect... It's so much freaking fun!!

I've played for about an hour and burned about 200 calories... which, compared to my normal daily average is pretty awesome. I'm loving it, it's going to be my new workout from here on out.
....

Now, on a ttc related note... me and DH have been able to BD some, despite him feeling awful and my bout with food poisoning, so who knows? Maybe this'll be our month after all? I've heard being sick is a lucky charm for some ladies.

I tried it a couple times and found it to be alot of fun. I did Zumba alot before I got pregnant and it always helped me keep weight off and I thought it was so much fun. I have a tendancy to be extra fluffy if I dont work hard at it.

 

[mailcmm]

Hope this is it for you colta! You will be in the tww any day now. So exciting!

Berdc... Sucks about your tooth, and glad it doesn't hurt.

Anyone else close to the tww?

 

[menb]

Just checking in before bed. Well, already went to bed directly after coming in from work at 6:30--both hubby and I took a nap. I'm a bad influence on him. Had to wake up and eat a little something.

Berdc n Mail--I can relate. Our second u/s is this Friday and I'm anxiously awaiting the day. It's 8:45 in the morning, so I'm going to go to school and start my students off at 8 before leaving for doc. They have Gym at 8:40 and our school geography bee begins at 9! Worked out perfectly that I won't need a sub. Just hoping and praying for growth with the sacs and fetal poles in both. They saw nice size yolk sacs in both last week, so...

Colta--glad you found a fun way to burn some calories. We just bought Love to Dance for the Wii. It makes me too nervous to do that much jumping and dancing right now, but I LOVED watching our Youth Group kids do it. They had a ball. Also, glad you got in some bd. Who knows? Maybe this is it...

TV and Twinkie--how ya doing?

Moter--cute pics of your son.

 

[colta]

Well... I was hopeful for a while there. DH has been yoyo'ing though with this cold/flu/whatever and just isn't up to bd'ing much, if any. So, I'm thinking it's pretty safe to say that I'm going to be out this cycle.

Unless something dramatic changes within the next day or so, I just don't see much hope. I dunno, I guess I'm getting down about the whole thing again... gotta love ttc.

 

[mailcmm]

Colta don't give up. If you don't bd everyday it is not lost. Every other day is great but even every 2 days will get you preggers. Good luck. Fxd for you.

 

[moter98]

Hang in there colta! You could have already gotten enough bd in. Looks like you are due to o soon? Those little guys can live in there for five days.
Menb- thank you! I think he is just the cutest darn kid ever of course.

 

[mailcmm]

Menb... It is terrifying isn't it. How are you feeling? I am exhausted. I die at night. Still nauseous too. Bbs hurt on and off. And still crampy. Cramps have been bad last couple of days but I think this would be my fertile time if I wasn't pregnant and hoping that's why I get these cramps. Since you are carrying twins what would you say have been your most predominant symptoms?

 

[Twinkie210]

Sorry gals, I haven't been on much and when I have I have just been stalking. I am still waiting to O, but I think this is going to be a long cycle, cause my OPKs are no where near positive and my temps have been all over the place. I am just trying to keep myself sane right now, cause TTC is really starting to get to me!

 

[BERDC99]

Mail-the cramping is most likely your uterus growing. I had it alot during week 5 and 6.

 

[moter98]

twinkie, i'm sorry this whole ttc thing is getting to you. hope you will o soon. FX!

 

[mailcmm]

Twinkie... Sorry you are down girl. Ttc can be so very very stressful. I hope you get your sticky bean soon so you can relax a bit. Hang in there girl.

Berdc... Thanks. Seems the last couple of days they have been bad. I just am glad they are never in the same place long. Glad to know its not just me though.

 

[mailcmm]

So my morning nap apparently wasn't long enough. Lol may need another. Slept all night and 2 hrs this am and may go back to sleep. I can't keep my eyes open.
