It has been awhile since I posted on here, but we had his repeat heel stick and his bilirubin level was good, so no more tests They didn't say the level, but I am guessing it went down. Little guys first appt with the pediatrician is tomorrow, I am excited to find out if he is back up to his birth weight. I feel like he eats all the time

Twinkie... Glad the jaundice has cleared. Great news.

Mighty.... What a nightmare. Well make sure to update us tomorrow.

 

[baby_bray]

Mighty- What a let down...Hope today's appointment goes so well it makes up for it

Mail- Baker is less than an hour away from us, how crazy! DH and I so excited for this long weekend...The inlaws are bringing their camper and boat down to base to take advantage of these pretty weekends. Still shocked at how warm it's been.

Twinkie- Glad to hear the LO is doing well! How are you faring?

Appointment today went well. The doctor is very nice. It was basically like a m/w booking appointment in the UK. Got lots of info on the dos and don'ts of pregnancy. Took a bunch of bloods for bloodwork and height/weight/bp etc. My next appointment is in 2 weeks for my NT scan. He said the tech they work with has been doing it for 15 years and is VERY good. I'm excited about that. I'm also going to ask to book another sono at 14 weeks for a gender peek. Not sure we'll get a good look, but he said this tech can make guesses at 13 weeks and that he has only ever reversed twice, and those were at the 20 week scan. Can't hurt, right?

 

[mailcmm]

Can't hurt at all. So glad it went well. Congrats!

Bray.... Dhs family is from crestview. So we come here a couple times a year. Small world.

 

[baby_bray]

Wow Mail, my hubby & his older sister pretty much grew up in Crestview. His dad was Air Force and was stationed down here at Eglin for most of his enlistment. Small world indeed!

Been really quite. How is everyone?

 

[mailcmm]

Busy weekend with being out of town and the horse show. D&d did great. Will post more tomorrow but right now need sleepy. Lol

 

[Twinkie210]

Mail- congrats to your DD!

Mighty- That is awesome that they are willing to do an ultrasound at 14 weeks to guess gender! My Dr. made a guess at my appt following my NT scan, but he said it had nothing to do with the ultrasound and he was right. I have no idea what he based it off of.

Bray- I am good thanks for asking!

Well little guy had not gained any weight from Wednesday to Friday, so he still wasn't up to birth weight. We now have to go back this Friday for a weight check. I was having trouble getting little guy to latch on on Friday, so I gave him a bottle of formula. I then decided to pump to see if I could get him to take a supplement after I nursed, just to make sure he was getting full enough. Well now the little piggy refuses to nurse and only wants a bottle. But he is eating great! He takes 3-4 oz every 3 hrs or less and today he took 12 oz in 6 hrs! I think nursing him was my problem. I think he will be well over his birth weight by Friday

Been really quite. How is everyone?

I've been crazy sick the past few days... barely functioning, so I haven't been up to much.
DH and I are getting all geared up with vitamins/supplements and healthy eating for ttc'ing next cycle. We're still ntnp this cycle, although less of the nt and more of the np if you know what I mean.
It's exciting... DH is really for this. We just found out my close cousin gave birth last night and he's really pumped for it to be our turn. Especially since she ended up having a boy.
Both of the great-grandkids so far have been boys... and in both of our families it's a big deal to have girls... so DH is very much "We're so going to have a girl... lets to make babies!" lol. It makes me feel so good to see him finally 'in the moment' with this ttc business.

On the flipside of things... I've finally achieved a weight under 250... I'm 249lbs for the first time in 3-4yrs... so I'm excited!
So Twinkie... your boy will be gaining weight while I lose it... The world is in balance.

Twinkie.... With my daughter the weight thing was how I found out I had no milk so when the evil la leche league came in when I had said I would be bottle feeding ds to torment me I decided to try again. This time I had to pump because he was in nicu. 2weeks into bf and I was getting a single tear from one breast and gave up because he had been on formula for a week. Lol that's why I am going straight to formula this time. And will be telling my dr that the first person to make me feel bad about that is getting physically tossed from my room. I guess the moral is... You're the mom do what you think is best andit will be. Will hope his weight is up at next apt. Are you getting a decent amount of milk or mainly feeding formula? I am kinda nervous about starting formula as I started with the breast both times. This will be new.

Colta... Congrats all around. If its any help all the many times I conceived we dtd every other day until fertile week and then dtd every day. Never missed an egg. And you best get your happy butt to the dr as soon as a bfp is there to get your progesterone checked. Please, I really think it would be beneficial. We are all so ready for your bfp! Make sure to keep us posted daily.

Moter... Where you at girl? Been way too quiet.

 

[baby_bray]

Twinkie- Glad to hear you're doing well. I'm sure LO will be gaining in no time!

Mighty- Love that your appointment so well! So glad to hear that it sounds like everything is right on track!

Colta- Hope you start feeling better! We had great luck with Mucinex the cycle we conceived. I definitely felt like it boosted my CM. You know we've all got our fingers crossed for you!

Yay scan was lovely everything looked normal baby was being naughty though kept putting arm over his chest so they couldnt see heart

 

[baby_bray]

Absolutely gorgeous TV! What a great profile shot!!

 

[mailcmm]

Tv... That's fabulous. Gorgeous. So you didn't find out the sex?

 

[colta]

Mail - no worries about getting checked out. As soon as I get my BFP (positive thinking... right?) I'll be heading to the doc's... and I'll be the worst kind of patient if they don't take me seriously. ^_^

Baby_Bray - Not sure I've said hi yet... but Hi! I've got every digit crossed too.. I'm hoping we'll catch quickly like we have the past few times and FINALLY have a sticky bean.

TV - so cute!! What an adorable little munchkin. Not long until V-day... you must be so excited!

nope they wont tell you, they say its a scan to detect and abnormalities not finding out the gender. But we have decided to stay team yellow anyway. But i did have a look i reckon i saw a pair of balls but not sure if i would be able to see them or not???

Thanks yea very excited it will a relief to get there but im positive this babys happy and not going anywhere

 

[mailcmm]

Tv... Since you want to be team yellow I guess it doesn't matter but that sucks that they don't tell people. Here if you want to know they tell you. So glad everything is normal.

Colta.... Good. Be the crazy pregnant lady. Lol that's my motto.

Afm.... We have feet. Lol Finn is now big enough for us to feel big steady movements of limbs instead of just jumpy kicks. he is also in my ribs. That hurts a good bit. Can't wait I see drs face next week as the top of my uterus is just under my boobs. Can't wait for my scans. One week and one day left.

 

[baby_bray]

Mail- HOW CUTE! I think everybody says or has said it at some point (and everyone regrets it just a teeny tiny bit when it gets uncomfortable) but I can't wait to feel hands and feet and elbows and everything else!
