I've got my anti-witch spray!

Nats -- Woohoo for opk changes!

Cris -- Hope B is feeling okay today! Sorrry you got no sleep. I slept like crap, too. I'm finally getting too big to really sleep on my tummy and since that's really the only way I sleep well, I guess it's crap sleep from now on.

Crib is being delivered today! I jumped the gun and ordered it last week after seing a price hike on the 2 finishes other than the one we wanted. Then I was feeling rich for some reason so bought a new laptop since my died over a month ago.... and then on Friday night our washing machine broke. Hubby thinks it's the control board which means it would cost hundreds of dollars to have someone come out and repair it (why the eff did I ever feel a need to buy an electronic HE frontloading money pit?!). I'm totally just going to replace it with a cheap top loader from someone on Craigslist. I could have bought 20 of them for what I paid 5 years ago for our stupid washer. Ugh.

Nats- I cant wait to see Henry's haircut. I love letting Bryadens hair grow out because it gives him more of a baby look...I swear he looks lke a grown man when I get it cut...its so sad ...Im super excited that your OPKs are doing something! Keep us posted!

Julie- Brayden is feeling ok but hes totally milking it...I told him that sick people need to stay on the couch and rest so he refused to get up to do anything but pee...which ended up in "mommmmyyyy i need this...mommmyyyyy i neeed that..." oy! holy patience! You made me giggle with your **I was feeling rich** comment...thats so very unlike you to spend so much money! Also about the washer/dryer...when I went to sears DH and I were pretty set on getting the latest washer/dryer combo and thankfully the sears guy was very honest with us and told us that they are a money pit and basically talked us out of it. Since then I have been told by several people who own them that thye always have problems. I am glad the sears guy was so honest!

So I have had some light blood on the tp again....I know now its from my "angry cervix" but uhm should I do anything about it?

 

[nats77]

It can't hurt to get it checked Hun, will put ur mind at rest xx

 

[wishnhoping]

I just spent some time reseraching "angry cervix" and I guess the technical term is 'friable cervix'...just really sensitive and bleeds easily, usually after exams or sex (I have had neither)

Its really not much blood at all my concern is more that it keeps happening rather than the fact that it is happening...dunno

 

[wishnhoping]

Um yeah. I just saw that like 15 minutes ago. SERIOUSLY? Why do I need to look at your kid's piss? That was a little bit much.

 

[LittleSpy]

Get it, Nats!

 

[wishnhoping]

Yay Nats!!!! Get it in when you can! Keep us posted!

Julie- I'm glad I wasn't being dramatic and you thought it was too much too!

 

[linz143]

Nats - Get it girl!!

AFM - BD is still very painful... BTDT moms, when does it get better?

 

[nats77]

Well after much persuasion we bd last nite! Whoop whoop! I just hope that was enough, it's only been twice this cycle once on Saturday morning, then on weds nite but like I said very strong positive opk yesterday so just hoping it was it! Will continue with opks for a few days just to see what they doing as they have Been a bit screwy this cycle, after that nothing more I can do except go and collect my progesteone ( yay yay ) and hope and pray and keep everything cossed!

Linz - it varies is the answer to that, sorry I know that's not what u want to hear but it's the truth, my first I had a few stitches and I think it was 5-6 weeks till I felt 'normal' down there and no pain on bd, my second I had no stitches and an easy birth, I was bd again pretty quick about 3 weeks and all was fine, with Henry after about 50+ stitches and third degree tears into the muscle it was a long time before I felt normal down there! And I think it was about 3 1/2 months before I even considered bding!! Sorry I can't help more, I would say though if ur concerned at all I would get it looked at just to make sure all is well. I can't remember if u had stitches? But it can take time to heal, good luck xx

I have no idea when sex gets better but I was petrified of getting pregnant again and opt DH didn't get any for quite some time

It's 4am and I'm wide awake...have been for awhile

On happy news- my mom bought me my nursery set... Most of it! I can't wait for it to get here! So excited!

Oh and baby girl is still nameless... I'm really starting to worry that she will get here and not have a name. I'm also having a hard time bonding with her

 

[wishnhoping]

Linz- love your new profile pic

Nats - Get it girl!!

AFM - BD is still very painful... BTDT moms, when does it get better?

I'll be honest -- it was very painful for me for us to conceive this one (we started trying when Maisie was 11 months old). And I can't at all without lubricant (never a problem before). I wasn't even "cleared" for it at the point you are now, though, because I had so many stitches they hadn't dissoved. I was 3-4 months pp before we even tried. And after we tried that time and it was horrible, we didn't again for a couple of months. My very least favorite position (on top ) hurts the least.

Maybe tmi, but for me, now, the pain is mostly in my perineal area. It's not like it's inside, even though I had a lot of stitches there, too. I guess torn muscles take a really long time to fully heal. I still even have pain when I squat or sit in a weird position. And I'll be 18 months pp on Sunday.

Cris -- I've given up even trying to bond with V right now.

I never felt that much of a bond with Maisie while pregnant. Maybe just a little toward the end (like 37+ weeks). I honestly didn't bond well with her until she was 2-3 months old. Of course I loved her and had all those good instincts to take care of her and protect her, but as far as really feeling close to her, it took me a while. I think PPD and breastfeeding struggles played a pretty big role in me feeling that way.

I'm so bonded to her now, though, I actually feel terribly guilty about being pregnant and having another baby. I worry so much about what she's going to think about everything. And she's such a mama's girl (right now -- hasn't always been), I'm afraid she's going to feel displaced by the baby (who will inevitably be attached to me for at least the first couple of months). Thinking about being away from her at night when I'm in the hospital makes me sad. Makes me hope I have the baby at like 3am so I can count that as one of my nights in the hospital. It's kind of ridiculous.

I can't believe the trouble I am having getting this progesterone! I need to vent ladies sorry

Well first my specialist said it was fine for me to have progesterone if I wanted it and he would contact my gp to ask for them to write me up a prescription.
So I contacted my gp to ask for this prescription, they said they couldn't prescribe because specialist had not specified which form of progesterone or how much, so I had to contact the specialist at the hospital to ask them to contact my gp and let them know the dose and firm of progesterone! ( sounds simple huh?)
The secretary got funny with me and said that the gp should of made contact themselves and not me but that should would speak to the specialist and ask him to send a fax to gp, ok thanks!
Contacted gp again who said they had received fax but it only states what form of progesterone and not what strength or how many times, was now starting to get slightly fed up of this, so eventually my gp agreed to write me. Prescription for what I wanted, at last!
Been to collect prescription today and she only wrote me up for a weeks worth! What? Are you serious? I need twelve weeks worth!
So now I am waiting yet again for doctors to contact me to see if I can get another eleven weeks worth! But it will be another different doctor so will probably have to go thru this whole long winded and very irritating process once again!
RAH

Also, ( sorry to winge on about me again ) my opks are still showing pretty dark not quite a positive but only very slightly off, so I think we need to bd tonight as well, I know oh is not going to be too thrilled about this as he is working incredibly hard right now and is exhausted, was difficult enough to get him to agree last nite! Oh well I'll just hope for the best, if its meant to be and all that
Thanks for reading, xxx

Linz I love ur profile pic too, and cris hope you get some sleep tonight xxx

Thanks for your answers ladies! Yes I did get cleared by the doctor at my 5 week pp*checkup, as my stitches came out the week before. However, my labia tore in 3 different places during the birth, so I think those places are what still hurts. I'll try the on top position, Lilspy. Thanks for the recommendation!

Nats, sounds good for you this month! Dh and I only bd once during the cycle I got pregnant and it was the evening I got a pos opk!

Wishin, dont worry too much about the name. Even if you dont have one when you are in labor, dh will probably let you pick whatever you want after seeing you work so hard during the birth!

Linz- ha! clearly you do not know my husband..But honestly at this point I dont even know what the hell I wanna call her.

Julie- I remember having a bond with Brayden, but he was kind of playful in the womb...or at least I thought he was haha. He hated things on my belly so I would put random stuff on top of him so he would kick or punch it off. I remember talking to him and rubbing him....with her I usually only talk to her when shes hurting me. Plus Im counting down the days until shes out of my belly...I know I bonded with B more after we named him, so I really think thats whats setting me back. But yea...I get super sad about my 1-1 time with B ending and I get so worried about him feeling like he isnt as loved or important. Hes such a momma's boy and always has been. Hes been super cute and tells me how hes going to help and higs and kisses my belly so I know he will love the baby but its still just sad to me that we wont have the same kind of relationship.

nats- thats really annoying! But keep at it! even if you have to fight with them all day the important thing is that you get what oyu need! Def try to keep BDing until our OPK turns light again! GOOD LUCK! Tell DH to suck it up!

My crib is in! YAY!

Unfortunately I am too tired to go pick it up
