Television... I hope you get a bfp today! Keep us posted!

Whew! I'm glad the insurance convo calmed a bit. I was a little worried a couple of pages ago.

As you can see Colta, there are a lot of different scenarios and situations that families and individuals fall into here in the states. Saying a blanket statement about the insurance policies in the states (or anything for that matter) would be ignorant. What we have to do here in America is educate ourselves on what is the best decision for healthcare for us as a family or an individual. It is true, however that some people/families don't have that luxury for various reasons (only part time work, company doesn't offer good benefits, not currently working, etc.). That is why many people are in favor of a new healthcare system. They are trying to work it out so that everyone can be seen by a doctor and receive proper meds/healthcare without having to decide between that and feeding themselves. As of now, they are still trying to 'work it out'. So, yes you are blessed with the system you have in Canada.

That's why hubby and I seriously considered moving there a couple of years ago. Well, that and to get some distance from the MIL.

I hope I didn't come off as ignorant or anything... haha, I'm just completely oblivious! It's really interesting to hear all the different ways things work there... I do feel very fortunate that I've never had to really think about it and I do feel very blessed.
All in all though, glad to see everyone is figuring things out and generally content, that's all that really matters in the long run.

And I know what you mean about MIL, haha... I'm thinking about taking up the hermit lifestyle and living in the woods, she'll never find me there!

Mail - That sucks that you had such an awful sleep... maybe try getting a nap in today?

Television - Hope today is a lucky day for you!

Happy New Years everyone!! Much Baby Dust for those of us still trying and the happiest of pregnancies for those that have gotten their BFP's... lets make this year a much brighter and happier one then last year!

Bfn today. Just waiting on AF to show so I can call dr for some bloodwork.
I have heard so many friends tell me MIL stories but I have none. Mine is wonderful. Lives about an hours drive away and we don't get to see then often enough. She takes ds for a whole weekend once a month. Gives me a little break and they have so much fun with him. She really is the nicest women. I got lucky. My BF on the other hand has the MIL that comes over and rearranges cupboards, "stops by" for hours on a frequent basis even if you tell her you're busy etc.

No Colta! Not at all. That comment was totally not for anyone in particular. Just reminding us all of the dangers of generalizing and confusing opinions with fact. As someone who was asking a legitimate question about healthcare in the states, I didn't want you to think that EVERYONE here felt as strongly and negatively about it. It truly is a personal and individual/family situation for everyone. Not too many folks share the same experience with it.

Onto baby and baby-making news:
Getting real close to our 2nd mc time frame. Still have 12 more days to reach the time frame from the 1st. It's just do nerve racking. I wish the u/s next week was able to tell the drs. if everything would be fine. I know nothing is certain, but every twinge, pang and bathroom trip has me on edge! Geesh!!

Okey dokey... just wanted to make sure, it's so easy to offend people online... typing really doesn't convey emotions and intricacies of speech like talking face to face does. So good to know!

Wishing you so much good luck in terms of your next US and making it past your MC date. I'm sure that things are going to work out for you, you definitely deserve a happy bouncing bundle of baby!

Happy New Years Girls! I probably won't get a chance to get on here the rest of the day, so have a safe holiday!

 

[television]

but still no so just waiting on that. happy new yr everyone

 

[moter98]

Happy New Year ladies. New year. Fresh Start. 2012 is gonna be our year. Just a few BFP's to go, then we can all join the ladies with their morning sickness!

 

[mailcmm]

Happy news years all. Just got home. We had a pig roast at the fil. Dhs parents are divorced. Was a nice day but I got no sleep. Definitely not making the ball this year.

Sorry tv and Moter on the bfns but you still aren't out. So glad 2011 is over. It wasn't all bad but a few really bad times last year.

Anyone have any resolutions? I havent thought of any yet. Gave up everything to ttc. Lol

 

[mailcmm]

So I slept thru new years eve. Lol had some really bad dreams. They just seem so real these days. What did everybody else do last night?

 

[mailcmm]

I am so excited... Just bought a pregnancy app for my iPad. Hope it's worth the $4 lol. I had bought a book that you fill in the dates and it gives you a day by day but it's busted. Lol

What I mean is it says a hpt should work at 3dpo. And none of the development seems right. Heartbeat at 4 wks was my fav.

 

[moter98]

Rang in new years with friends. Had a blast. Didn't even think about ttc all night! It was great.
Mail do you the book " your pregnancy week by week"? That's a good one if you like to know what bubs doing in there.

 

[mailcmm]

I'll have to look for it. The ultimate pregnancy guide is what I have and for today it says today is five weeks from lmp and it's not. I am gonna go back and count that day as Thursday which will be five weeks and see if that works better. I want to return it.

 

[moter98]

The book im talking about tells you how LO is developing every week. Even shows pictures of the babies current size. It's really cool. There are some things in there in a lot of chapters that talk about what bad things could happen. It's always after the weekly description of baby. I just skipped those parts. I didn't want to read about anything bad that "could" happen. Besides that, it's a fun book.

 

[mailcmm]

The app I downloaded is pretty cool. It show week by week pictures and has dr appointment calendar and symptoms. It also has a kick counter and a contraction timer.

 

[moter98]

oh that sounds cool! where is everyone else? still sleeping off the new years eve fun? i could have slept in today for once with no ds today, but of course i couldn't. my bodies hardwired now to wake up early everyday.

 

[mailcmm]

It is rather quiet. Lol glad you had a nice time last night. The stress of ttc is awful so it must have been nice to let your hair down. I have been trying to relax. Tomorrow is how far along I was when I started my mc. Ready for Monday to be over. Not happening fast enough. Lol

 

[moter98]

tomorrow will pass and then you can relax and really start enjoying your pregnancy.
i'm confident i will get pregnant sometime in 2012. i have like 13 or 14 chances this year. it's bound to happen sometime. in the meantime i have ds to enjoy. he is only 19 months old and lots of fun. he's still my baby until he's 2! dh says i should stop calling him that, but he will always be my baby no matter how old he gets. my new year's resolution is to be thankful for what i DO have, and not be so sad about what i don't. i'm going to try and relax about it all from here on out. i do already have a son, so what are the odds really that we couldn't conceive again.

 

[mailcmm]

Good attitude. I think you will definitely get your sticky bean. Because you already have one child there should be no reason for you to have another. And don't I remember you saying getting pregnant with your ds was easy? I don't believe fertility is an issue for you. We just aren't 20 anymore. We actually have to work at it now. Lol for me fertility was never a worry. The only reason I am worried now is because I have had a mc. In my entire life I have ttc 7 times. I got pregnant 5 of those times. Lol 2 kids 1 chemical and 1 mc. And now I am pregnant. So my scare is just will this baby stick.
