Disco Derail! - TTCAL/PAL Discussion and Support!

Allie the reason we are trying to move right now is that our apartment essentially has only one bedroom (the second room is without natural light and very small so we use it as an office). Although i love sleeping with Hero it is very hard to have a decent sex life lol! We end up doing it rather organised when shes asleep in some other room (we also have to hide from Popi jeez..). I would not recommend it unless you can make a decent partition. We also move every 3 years or so but unlike you i fuckin hate moving. I just want to find a place that we can settle in for at least 10 years. Me and Alex are againt getting into serious debt so buying is out of the question for at least 10 years. For this reason we are taking the move very seriously and considering what are life may be like in 10 years. Maybe a second baby so defo need at least 2 bedrooms.

By the way the following link is the place i fell in love with this time last year but could not afford. Its still on the market, they have reduced the starting price but its still double what i can afford. Im hoping that maybe with all the shit thats going on the price will go down in the next few months...Its not impossible considering that the price is totally out of the market price for this area.

LOVE the place Vic. I hope the price goes down for you.

Just a random comment from a stalker

 

[Megg33k]

Yeah, it was what you posted, Amanda. No need to kick ass... I'm pretty good at that myself though!

Glad everything is okay, Jen!

I'm good, just busy. Can't complain. Sorry I'm not around more.

Jenny, I'm glad to hear you and Paul are going to try to work things out. Big hugs to you, I can't imagine going through this while pregnant.

Allie, this is the first season I haven't watched Americian Idol....now I'm kicking myself. Will have to do some YouTube searching today.

Personally, there's no way I could live in a one bedroom. I could barely survive a one bedroom with just my hubby! I think it's a very personal decision though. You could be very happy living there. I think you have to go with your gut instinct. What does Alex think?

Sugar, so happy to hear Henry has gotten the all clear. Glad Charlotte's needles are all done for now. The next set of shots went a lot easier for us.

Hearty, glad to hear you're cervix is still holding out strong. Yay for weekly scans.....that you can actually enjoy!

Lucy, sounds like you're got a very busy boy. Better get yourself a good pair of running shoes. I had a very active toddler too....it will keep you on your toes.

Vicky, I'll have to look for that video on FB. It sounds like Hero is pretty athletic...I can't wait to see it.

Megg, glad to hear you're doing well.

Hoping, I'll be getting the IUD after this pregnancy too. Let me know what you think about it. My DH wants to get a vesectomy but I keep thinking we're too young for that. It just seems to drastic.

AFM, working from home again today. I went to work yesterday and was miserable. All this humidity is making me swell like a balloon. Just my luck, it's finally unseasonably warm and beuatiful.... and I'm just wishing it would snow.

Jaymes- Yay for baby being a sweet potato! I hope you sneak a peek at the gender as well! I am not very patient…

Hearty- the insertion process wasn’t a walk in the park but it wasn’t awful either… just uncomfortable. It felt like getting a pap smear and took about 15 minutes. I had a few bad “period” cramps and then it was over. After I felt a little dizzy and had mild cramps through out the day along with some spotting. It is supposed to be easier to insert if you have already had a baby and are on your cylce.

Haha at Tim wanting to kiss and grope you! My Tim is the same way! I can’t even sit at a red light without him trying to put his hand down my shirt. Men!

Allie- Since you are moving again you should just move back to Colorado! I think that the downtown apartment sounds awesome! I would go for that place as long as you could partition off one section of the bedroom like your friend suggested. Alistair is still so little so I think this place could work for at least a year. You will just have to get creative when dtd. When Penny was in our room we would sneak off during nap time and find another vacant part of our house. It was actually kind of fun having to sneak around.

The IUD was manageable. They did freak me out a little bit when they said sex may be uncomfortable for Tim at first because of the IUD strings. The described it as “little fish biting his penis!” CREEPY! He was not very excited when I relayed this piece of info. If it is uncomfortable they will just adjust the strings at my next appointment.

I totally forgot about Territory Days! I will have check with Tim but we will probably go at least to get a bite to eat. They usually have Navajo/Indian tacos and I can’t pass that up! If you just moved back then you could enjoy the festivities with me!

Jen- I’m so happy you are going to try and work things out. And yay for being classed as a “normal” preggo

Vicky- that place is gorgeous! I especially love the deck.

Hi Dazed & Megg

Round- Currently I really like the IUD. I was crampy the first day and spotted for a few days but I was also on my cycle. We haven’t dtd just yet because of the spotting and Tim is a little scared of the strings but I think it will be fine. Tim wants to get a vasectomy as well. We are thinking by the end of the year but since I have the IUD that my change. We are 99% sure we just want one child (Tim is 100% sure).

Being pregnant in the summer is no fun. I hope you have air conditioning to help ease the heat.

 

[Jaymes]

My DH didn't notice much with my first IUD, I had the mirena at the time, but when I got the copper he did, and I kept getting infections, but honestly I think that one was defective somehow... I never had any problems before that. Many people have no problems at all.

The apartment we lived in in NY was on the small side, but we did manage to conceive my dd while there. We just got rid of the dining area, and set up his crib and changing table there... it wasn't ideal, but I knew it was very short term.

 

[heart tree]

I really like that place Vicky. It looks perfect except for the price.

Amber, my Tim also gropes me in the car! I don't think it's helping that we've only had sex twice this whole pregnancy. He is completely unfased by the belly. He'll take what he can get.

I think I'm going for a diaphragm as birth control. I don't want to get back on hormones and I'm tired of things going through my cervix: several d&c's, 2 hysteroscopies, an hsg, iui, saline sonogram and soon to come a baby? Not to mention all the cervix scans poking and prodding it.

Round, come to the Bay Area where we never have summer! It's in the low 70's with no humidity in the spring. In the summer it gets foggy and cold! I personally hate it, but as I'm due in August, I know I'll be much more comfortable than most pregnant women in the summer.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Sassy I can't possibly imagine why you wouldn't have time to post! Really, you make it sound like a newborn and a child under 1 are a lot of work!

Getting my hair done today. Can't wait. Then I'm going out to dinner for Tim's birthday. Old man turns 43 tomorrow. Oh and I'm 30 weeks today!!!

 

[hoping:)]

Hearty- Happy 30 weeks Have a wonderful time celebrating Tim tonight

Jen it's great Kieran is so healthy. I know you'll get the GD sorted. It will be a pain, but nothing you can't handle.

Have fun with your parents Megg!

 

[LucyJ]

Amanda it amazes me how resilitant he is if with the big bumps he recovers so quickly. Hes such a busy boy Im sure there will be many more bumps to come.
Happy 30 weeks!!

Allie it is so lovely to see him learn new things but its going so quickly and is quite scary Ive really had to try and take a step back and let him try new things (unless hes up to know good)!

Round I know Im going to definitely need my running shoes I cant keep up with him as it is

Jen glad you and paul are working on things and yay for kieran being healthy. Sorry about the gd I have no doubt you'll be alright and cope.

Megg have a great time with your parents.

Sassy Poppy and Zac are gorgeous Im so happy for you.

Vicky love the flat.

Afm: its hot here Benjamin is crawling around in just a nappy. Last night it was so hot in his room he wouldnt settle so he came downstairs with me I put him down on our rug why I went to get some water came back and he had fallen asleep he stayed that way untill midnight when we took him upstairs to his room thankfully it was cooler and he slept till half 6. I got him weighed yesterday and he is 15lb 12oz I was convinced he would be over 16lbs but not yet hes following his line which Im thrilled with.

 

[prgirl_cesca]
