Due In May :)

[Sass827]

So excited to tell everyone too. Just bummed it can't be in person. We had our neighbor shoot our announcement photo today. Just can't send it out til we get the stupid nt results. Fx they come in on Monday.

 

[Jary]

Oh no Hann! I've felt pretty rough today but I think I'm getting the nausea less often now. At least you've had a little break

 

[prolifer]

You guys are so lucky to be able to tell everyone ^^ I wish I could tell SOMEONE but if I do, the entire town will know about it within a day. Then the back stabbing and the gossip will start -_- ugh

Anyway, I am still sick with a cough but not as frequent - just mucus to spit out everytime (yuck!) My nose is raw from tissues and is still stuffy, my ear is STILL blocked up and everything sounds muted and my throat is still sore.

Other than that I am okay, except I had a nightmare last night that I lost my baby Was so real I even came on here to change my ticker (in the dream) to the goodbye one. Was awful, I've never lost a bubba and I don't ever want to.

 

[Starry Night]

Why would people say bad things about you? Because you're having a 4th child? I don't know why people think they have to have a say in everything. Sheesh. I hope they leave you alone when you do spread your GOOD news.

And I hope you feel better soon!

 

[Sass827]

People need to keep it to themselves! Ugh!
Aren't the nightmares just the worst? They feel so real! I dreamt our baby came and was born the size of a 10 month old and looked like a different ethnicity and everyone hated it so much they kicked me out of the hospital and made me stay in a library. I woke up crying so hard I woke DH. and he could not console me. I am laughing while typing now though.

 

[prolifer]

It's because I have two special needs kids, they think they're better than me and that I cannot cope. Yet they will not babysit for me because THEY cannot cope with just ONE of my kids for HALF a DAY!

They won't let me babysit for them because their kids might catch Autism -_- Seriously.

I know for a fact at least two of their kids are like mine, but they never had them tested because they're too proud to admit they might have abnormal children. So the comments we would get would go something like, "oh no, wonder what will be wrong with THAT one?" and they'll go make a betting pool on it.

 

[Jary]

That's awful pro, how can they frown down on you when you do something amazing. Mind back in the day my gran had a total of 11 children and because she was catholic, the others from her church would say she was disgusting for having another child. But she made sure each and every one of them were well cared for so it wasn't like she couldn't cope.

Some people are just a waste of space -_-

 

[prolifer]

I honestly do not know why they despise us so much, we have done them no harm. We don't ask for money, or any kind of help and we no longer visit because it "stressed them out so much" to see my "little goose eggs" and it "depressed them so badly" but my kids never want for anything and we do alright.

What happened to them isn't even their fault. My first has brain damage because I had Eclampsia, undiagnosed and untreated. I had a seizure while he was still in my birth canal and he had to be removed via forceps.

My second is a bit behind her peers because she had a mass behind her eye and spent her first year in and out of hospital with seven operations or more, so all that anaesthetic didn't help one bit.

With my third (touch wood) so far nothing seems wrong with him. He was the one they all made a betting pool on, to try and guess what would be wrong with "this one"

The people I am talking about are my mother and my sister and brother btw, not very grandmotherly is she?

 

[Hann12]

Pro that's terrible that your own immediate family have such a poor opinion! I'd be fuming if I was you!
Will they operate on the mass behind your daughters eye? Must be really hard for you with people being like that and trying to hold the family together. I applaud you and that you have the energy to do it again - 4 children are a big handful regardless of anything else!
I'm wondering where I'll get the energy to look after 2 little ones! I'm hoping the next one will be slightly more chilled out!

 

[Powell130]

I'm so sorry to hear that Pro. It's awful how mean and unsensitive people can be sometimes!!

OMG well it turns out that the false dog pregnancy wasn't false at all! 9 pups were born last night. OMG I don't know what we're going to do because this is a 100% unwanted litter that came RIGHT after the one she just had, like we didn't have time to get her fixed between because she went into heat RIGHT after she was done weaning the others. I think we're just going to take this litter to the pound when we feel they are old enough and get her fixed right after her milk dries up. If I wasnt pregnant, we would probably keep them and get rid of them ourselves but for 1 I am pregnant and not in the mood to deal with another big litter and 2 I'm outta people to give puppies to because of the last litter NOT EVEN 6 MONTHS AGO! I really hate that hubs didn't get her fixed when she was younger, but what can ya do about what they do/don't do before you get together lol

Gotta go get ready for my first day of work. Lets hope they don't get mad about my Dr appointment next Monday, which I'm honestly more excited about than working again

 

[prolifer]

Yes, the mass was removed when she was barely older than 4 weeks of age, sadly she contracted post-op glaucoma and now has to visit the hospital every so often to release the pressure build-up. Her other eye is fine "so far" (fingers crossed it stays that way) and she's just the happiest little ray of sunshine, I swear her smile lights up the darkest corner of any room ^^

She was a chubby bubby, which helped her a lot with so many operations during her first year but she is so tall now and not chubby anymore - however when she was just 2 years old my mother said out loud - "oh my god! I didn't realize how FAT you were until you took off your sweater!"

My little ray of sunshine stopped shining for a week after that comment, but we managed to remind her of just how truly beautiful she really is and she was happy again

 

[eggo preggo]

Just a quick hello as im super busy at work.

Pro- so sorry to hear you have been through so much, having a 4th child is admirable and nothing else. The fact that there are complications makes it even mre admirable, no doubt!

Hope you're all feeling better ie going on to 12 weeks. My symptoms nausea & tirednes seem to have vanished Take care x

 

[Sass827]

Wow! Pro, I'm so sorry. My mom gets negative in my life sometimes, and I just cut her out. I'll stop speaking and communicating in any way for weeks, months or even a year. I can handle having forces like that in my life.
Powell- what a shocker with the pups! How's your humane society? Make sure to get the pups there as early, young and tiny as possible so people want them. Maybe you can put pics of them on pet finder.com and say they will be available in 7 weeks at such and such pound to get the interest going?
So happy your feeling good eggo!
I'm just waiting for the insurance adjuster to show. Did some reading about mold development after flooding in a house and I'm feeling nervous for me and LO. Already Had a nosebleed this morning too. Ugh!

 

[Jary]

Sass have you got a dehumidifier? Will probably need those huge ones tho...will run up a bill but better having a dry house.

Pro I'm so sorry your family put you through this! So do they not offer at all to help with the children? I know it must be hard (my mum worked with children and adults with all kinds of learning disabilities and mental health issues and she loved it.) but surely your family so your children are no less family.

Well we know you are admirable!

 

[Sass827]

Oh Jary! The house is full of them. It's so dry, it's like being in a sauna. I can barely breathe. And it's raining out pretty badly, so I can't even take a walk.

 

[JustFluffy]

Hey Ladies! I am sorry pro, about how rude and inconsiderate people are! There are some people it is just best to avoid whenever possible, no one needs negativity like that in their life!!!

I have been following the convo but haven't had much to contribute... Just want to say that I graduated to a peach yesterday! Wahoo! 5 more days left in the first trimester

 

[Hann12]

Sass that sounds terrible! We have no workmen at the moment and I love having our house in working order. We still have more to do but for now we are taking a break!

Really wanted a nap this afternoon but DD slept for 10 mins in the car and decided that she must have had her afternoon nap. I put her in her cot anyway just in case, and she did a huge up the back teething poo so had a complete mission clearing it up and now feeling rather pukey. Seriously bad nappies with morning sickness do not mix well!! And no sleep!

Do you think anyone will think anything of this....I saw a friend today and she put on my fb wall 'hope it all goes well today and friday' The today refered to my DD hearing test, do you think anyone will wonder what the friday refers to? I don't want anyone guessing!!

 

[nearlythere38]

I dont think anyone would ask, but you could just say she has to go in twice??? What time is your scan on friday? Ive got mine on friday now, at 8.30am oh and i bought a really cheap doppler, and its crap, didnt realise on the box it says from 20 weeks. cant hear a bloody thing

 

[robinson380]

Hello ladies: Good luck to all who have scans this week I have NT testing Friday....really just to get the u/s DH was being a huge ass last night. I wish men could be pregnant even if just for one hour!

 

[Hann12]

I was thinking the same thing, I responded saying that hopefully the consultant appointment will go well - hoping people assume its on fri!

My scan is 9.50 - although they are bound to be running late so prob more like 11!! You are lucky to get first appointment! Not long for us to wait though yippee!
Annoying about the Doppler! You can still use it before you feel the baby move regularly
