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

Glad to hear you're on the up-swing Mail, here's to hoping that this is the end of your issues!
Love the new ticker you get to sport now that Finn is here, the dragon is so cute :) Glad to hear that DH has been so helpful....that is too sweet :) It doesn't hurt that Finn sounds like he's been an easy-going baby so far, lucky duck!
 
I love dragons bray. Silly scifi nut I am. I am so glad to be feeling better. Had a great day sofar. Dropped kids at their dads and went grocery shopping. It was so nice to just get up. Now I am resting again. Trying not to overdo it. Finn has been a joy. He is so easy. Was just telling dh today I don't know how we would managage if he was a crank. Now I just hope I can keep things moving and just continue to heal.

So Moter... You're next. Not long now we will have another baby in our little group. It will almost be a race between you and tv because y'all are so close.
 
glad to hear you got out for a bit today mail. and so glad Finn is such a good baby!

yeah tv, you and i are on a race to the finish now lol
 
Hahaha, maybe we should have babies on the same day TV. Then it will be a tie
 
When will you go for weekly check ups? It's hard to believe how far we have all come. Now if only colta would get her bfp!

Colta any news on the dr front? Have you made an apt?
 
:rofl: i will let you 1st moter honestly i dont mind :haha: but it will be close whatever happens. Its amazing how far we've come slightly emotional how we all started ttc and now we are nearly all holding our babies and colta you will be with us on this to!!!! I love going back to the start of this thread and seeing how things have changed. I start weekly app from 36 wks got mw fri and then @36wks then dropping off home kit off @ 37 weeks scary!!
 
Haha tv! It will be fun to see who "pops" first. I am more than ready. As soon as I hit 37 weeks I'll be telling baby to come on out. I'm excited though can't say I'm looking forward to labor again.

Im excited to, and also a bit excited for labor i know i will change my mind as soon as it starts lol but its oh 1st baby so its exciting for him and its been 7 yrs since my ds so its a distance memory for me to. Are you finding you bh are getting stronger?
 
Tv you are a better woman then I. Give me my drugs and drs. Lol in that order. Hopefully everything will go super smoothly with your home birth. Still scares the begeezus out of me thinking about it. I believe, if not for the hemerrhoids this would be my favorite delivery. I enjoyed my csection. If not for the other I think I would feel great.
 
Me, not at all excited for labor. Well, maybe just the end of it part. But I'm ready for it too. I have to admit I've not enjoyed my pregnancy. It's been months of worry and stress and I'm ready to stop worrying so much!
Can't say my bh have gotten worse, they seem to have gotten better really. They aren't that strong anymore and don't happen as often as they were in the early 30 weeks. Though I am now getting menstrual like cramps off and on. And my poor behind, don't even get me started lol

I'm with you mail, give me the drugs ASAP!
 
Mail- I agree with you on the c-section, it was far easier than my vaginal birth and the recovery was better. I wish yours wasn't ruined by you hemmroids!

TV- You are a strong woman! There is no way I could have had DS without Drs and Drugs ;)

Moter- It is so close now! I can't believe that you get to start going weekly soon!

I was talking to my sister who is struggling with unexplained fertility. As part of her consulation with her specialist she had blood work done. She just found out she is a carrier for CF. Now her husband has to get tested. If he has the same recessive gene (which is very unlikely... only 1 in 30 people are carriers), then they would have a 25% chance of having a child with CF. This is a long shot, but scary none the less. Do any of you know if this is included in standard pretnatal testing? If me and DH even discuss the possibility of a third child I would like to know if I am a carrier and if so I would want him to be tested too. I guess this is a question for my OB/GYN.
 
I was tested Twinkie. I am not a carrier so dh didn't need to be tested. It's not routine but they should have asked if you wanted it.
 
Yes both need to be carriers. My cousins 2nd child was born with it, that's when they found out they were carriers. Not an easy life for a child...or the parents
 
I don't remember them testing me this time (Although I had a bunch of blood drawn at my first prenatal appt, so I could have been). I guess it is only an issue if me and DH decide to have a third.
 
I was given the option to be tested and tested negative for CF, so no further testing was needed.

I am really hoping to get as far as I possibly can without at drugs. I'm aiming for a drug-free hospital delivery if I can! Both my mother and mother-in-law have both done it.
I think of it like most of the other hurdles, Basic Training seemed so horrible, but it was an amazing experience. I certainly wouldn't want to go back to do it anytime soon, lol!
I had a kidney stone last April before my BFP and all of our female Urology patients say they'd rather go through labor that stone pain! So if I survived that, I figure I should be able to make it :)
I figure it's one day of my life, and I am definitely not *against* meds, so I'm still open to the option....either way, I'm getting a baby at the end, so I win! LOL
