General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

[gigglebox]

The flu sucks regardless of your age. Hope she's on the mend!

Fluek where are you planning on vacationing?

 

[Flueky88]

Lady, well it sucks regardless of age. I got flu shot as well. I think my immunity was down from poor sleep last Tuesday. I was woke up every 2 hours either by V or call from work.

Gigs, going to pigeon forge, Gatlinburg area. Wanting to take V to aquarium, get away. Last time we went I booked a couples massage for DH and I. In any case I'm pretty excited to get away for a bit

Not much else going on. Nice day at home, cooking and cleaning.

 

[Cppeace]

Yep the flu always stinks...

afm, I'm about ready to fall asleep typing this.

 

[DobbyForever]

Agreed being sick as an adult sucks worse cuz you’re still expected to adult . When you’re a kid you stay home and your mommy or daddy stays home too and spoon feeds you rice soup made me love while your head is in their lap lol.

Fluek yay for the talk and upcoming vk

Shae glad classes are going well!

Can’t say much re taxes atm cuz case is still open but yeah tell ya later lol

 

[DobbyForever]

Gigs live it love the studio love the art on the wall love the detail on the bear love how quickly the ducklings grew! Crazy!

Hey ladies, so I have a medical question. Calling Flueks and anyone else with a medical background. So as most of you know, I had surgery to repair my rectal prolapse on December 21st (through robotic rectopexy). I went home the next day and spent a few days at home. Then I became constipated and was in severe pain (I hadn’t pooped since the 21st) and spent 5 days in the hospital. During that time, I strained far more than is ideal, and I’ve kinda been straining more than ideal since then. During the hospital stay I had 5 milk and molasses enemas, a barium enema, laxatives, and just a bunch of crap messing with my butt. I have a hemorrhoid from this whole ordeal.

Yesterday I checked my rectum and realized that when I strained, a bulge partially blocked my rectum. Just now, I realized upon further examination that the bulge is my cervix. When I strain it turns and pushes into the wall that separates the vagina and the rectum, enough that it blocks the rectum quite a bit. I’m still passing stool despite this, but I’m concerned that I’m having some kind of internal prolapse. Am I just stupid and that’s actually supposed to happen and I just never noticed before, or is that abnormal and am I right to be concerned? I feel like my cervix should not be able to push through that wall? I’ll ask my mom in the morning but I figured I’d ask you ladies.

Hi Ladies

I know ive not posted on here in like forever but i hope everyone is doing fab!

Guess whos back on the pregnancy wagon completely unplanned & unexpected as Nuala is only weeks away from being 18months Lol!

 

[Flueky88]

Dobby, yes that's so true. I had MIL help with V one day and babysitter the other. I still had some things to do though.

Gigs your studio is amazing and as always you are so talented

Shae that's abnormal. You're pelvic floor muscles seem to not be doing their job keeping things in place. I'd talk to your Dr. Maybe some kegels could strengthen them to prevent further surgery. I'd say you've probably talked to your mom by now though.

CB huge congrats!! Your lil bean is due on my DHs birthday do you have appt booked yet?

 

[claireybell]

Ah really? baby will be born wk 39 by planned csection as ive had 2 previous.. , i havent booked in at Drs yet as only found out a few days ago but starting to feel yukky already blueeergh! I havent told SO yet either, he wont be happy eeek! Lol

 

[claireybell]

I will be having an early scan to see lil bean due to ectopic & tube removed in 2013.. im hoping all goes ok. Its weird, we werent planning to have a third & Nualas just started sleeping through finally .. i never thought i wanted another but i really do now i am ha ha

 

[Flueky88]

CB well I hope he doesn't take it too bad. Can't wait for your early scan. So if your scheduled c section will be 39 weeks. That'd be September 30th I think. Oh and as far as a third. I used to think 2 and done, but I want a third. I think DH is okay with that. Number 3 will be years later though.

 

[DobbyForever]

Shae no idea so I defer to Fluek on this one. Sorry though . Hope you find resolution soon

CB congrats! Funny how life works out. Can’t wait for your updates!

Afm I want to sell my engagement ring (I can’t trade it in since the paperwork is in his name) then use part of the money to buy a Mom ring and put the rest to start an account for A. My ring retailed at $3500 so I would hope to get at least half that. I’m thinking eBay. I’m torn between these two because I feel like I prefer to not have the names curve but I like how the hearts are positioned in the one that does that. AND i do go back and forthcoming about engraving

 

[wookie130]

Dobby- I like the bottom one better!

CB- Congratulations on your oopsie-baby! I was nervous about telling my DH about our oopsie too, but he ended up being totally excited, and now that she's arrived, he is completely smitten! Now, go get a doctor's appointment! Do you think you'll find out the sex?

 

[Cppeace]

Congrats CB!
Shae, I would say abnormal myself.

Dobby I would agree the second one with the separated hearts is prettier to me.

 

[claireybell]

My oopsie baby HAHA love it! Thankyou girls

Im planning on telling SO next week & then calling Drs aswell to get the booking in apt etc eeee! Il have same Midwife as my other 2 & she was lovely.

Dobby, those Rings are very pretty.. theres so much ive missed & i need a quick read back but im guessing you & your man arent together now.. i hope your ok & so is your lil bubs

When are you thinking of no2 Flueks?

 

[Flueky88]

Dobby, good luck. Yes, think eBay sounds like a good place to sell. Oh I agree with the other girls. I prefer the bottom one

Cppeace your chart is looking triphasic to me even if you Od CD 15. Ah so excited for your upcoming test.

CB do you have an ideal on how you'll announce to him? That's great you'll have the same MW.

As far as number 2, we plan to ttc June. We want them close in age and I'm worried it'll take awhile to conceive. Maybe not since I don't have any hormonal birth control to regulate from. It took me 6 months to regulate last time.

 

[Cppeace]

Yeah it is technically triphasic no matter if I ovulated 12,13,14 or 15 lol I've had triphasic before though and no luck. I decided not to test today, have a lot of pressure in the who area, cervix is fairly firm and lowering so I would guess AF in the next day or two myself. We shall see. If my temp stays up tomorrow I'll prolly test again.

 

[DobbyForever]

Yay I was leaning that way too hehe so it’s settled!

Peace just looked and oooo promising! Kudos to you for holding out. Fxed!

Cb how do you think you will tell him? And I agree with a boy and a girl, do you think you’ll go team yellow this time? Sorry if you said already my brain sucks lol

A will only sleep through the night when we bedshare so i’m so torn. I know it’s safe when done rights and even my WTE says it’s ok at this age but idk cuz then like when do I stop? I feel like i’m unhealthily attached to room sharing. Most of my friends moved their kids to their own room already and I keep making excuses not to hovitcyidtixti

 

[Cppeace]

There is nothing wrong with room sharing as long as you feel comfortable. Bed sharing is fine as well as long s you are fine with it Don't let other people's living effect how you live your life.
Pretty much all other animals in nature stay with they offspring close until they are at least half grown, yet humans think it's somehow normal to put a baby in a totally separate room before the age of 1. I never understood that myself.
Lol Yeah the chart looks good but I don't trust charts anymore after the past several months of teasing charts

 

[claireybell]

Flueks you guys should just crack on right now lol luck have it, you’ll probs fall preggers straight away ha ha it’ll be lovely they’ll be so close in age

Oh i have NO idea how im gonna tell him.. im hoping to catch him in a good mood & say something like ‘Dya remember that morning when we had a horny midnight romp & you woopsie’d in me & you said “oh dear” ‘ lol & then il just say im pg! We arent using anything & avoiding fertlle window & pullout etc so it was bound to happen at somepoint..

Cpeace you chart does look pretty fab this cycle i have to say - keeping everything crossed for you.

Nuala slept in our bed with us for months, she started stirring lots & kept waking us & herself up so she now has a toddler bed from Ikea & now sleeps fab in it! Only reason we co slept is she just wouldnt go down in her Travel Cot.. took ages to break the co-sleep habit but theres pros/cons with everything, i did however sleep better myself when she was with me .. never told SO that haha!

Im having such urges to drink my Wine, its calling me from the kitchen someone please have some for me
