Haha, Cris. Ours was delivered on Tuesday. I've yet to even really look at the box let alone open it. No point in assembling until I have a place to put it. And I still have to scrub the floor and move our bed over to make room.

 

[wishnhoping]

i did ship to store to save on delivery costs but boy was that a stupid idea!

im hoping i get some sleep tonight then ill put it all together after work tomorrow if i have energy and feel like nesting...

 

[leia37]

Nats - glad you've sorted some progesterone. got everything crossed for you. keep at it. xx

Cris - We never had a name, some of my lo's i bonded with more than others whilst pregnant. love them till bursting now . hope you get some sleep and good luck put together cot. xx

Lilspy - sounds like baby is going to be cosleeping anyway so no rush on crib . my cot is being used as a wardrobe right now as we are cosleeping. i miss my dd2 being in with me though. before Finn when OH away in week i used to let her climb in when she got up at night - she was a great sleeper and rarely fidgeted. Luckily she doesnt seem to mind and has only got up a few times since having him and has happily gone back to her room.

Linz - love new photo . As for bding, cant say it is painful anymore but i still keep expecting it too hurt so am avoiding it.. tiredness and breastfeeding has left me completely uninterested. i wish it was doing something for me but its not. this is the first time OH has been understanding and sympathetic and it hasnt become an issue (yet). As long as he gets some tlc he doesnt mind!!!!! I know my interest will come back when things ease up abit with Finn (i hope) but am kind of missing the closness.

hi leia- I just saw your ticker! I cant beleive its been 4 months! thats so crazy!

AFM- I am feeling pretty rotten. I have come down with a cold and doing ANYTHING is very hard. I just want to lay in bed all day! Lucky for me my husband let me do just that when I got home from work yesterday. he even cleaned the house and made me dinner in bed! its the sweetest thing hes ever done! I want to go get the crib so its at the house when i feel up to putting it together but i honestly dont think i have the strength to go get it....ugh this sucks!

hows everyone else?

 

[wishnhoping]

Guess who is wide awake but still exhausted t 5am?!

On a plus note- I'm 30 weeks!!!!! I thought the 30's would never come! Right now we are counting down the days until my nephew arrives (due 2/16) then it'll be my turn!!!!

My goal this week is to get the crib put together...I've finally started to get over this cold and am hoping to have enough energy tonight

How's everyone?

Nats did you get a bd session in?
Haley- it's almost go time! How are you feeling? Is everything ready? I want pics of the nursery!
Linz- is motherhood getting easier?
Gemmy- is it bd time yet?
Leia, first and G- how are the babes? Some of you are starting solids soon right? That's a fun stage lol!
Julie- how's are you? Did you get around to the crib?

 

[nats77]

I've lost sense of where I am now lol, we did get one bd in at ovulation time but that was it, have had funny sort of pink spotting on tp, had this a few times befor but not for ages but supposed to be a good sign of fertility so fingers crossed, I also have got my appointment thru with dr Shehata! Feb 1st! I can't believe it came thru so quick! I am very excited xx

 

[wishnhoping]

Nara that's great news! What kind if Doctor is that and what will they be looking for etc?

 

[nats77]

He's a recurrent miscarriage specialist, but so rumour has it he's the best in the business and has had very very successful results. There's a few ladies on the recurrent miscarriage thread that have had ten plus miscarriages and then been to see him and are now having successful pregnancy's, so I am feeling very positive and excited about this! I think my forever baby is on its way
And if I was lucky enough to get a bfp this cycle, af is due 30th jan and appointment is 1st feb, so almost like its meant to be? What with that and my progesterone I'm feeling positive and hopeful! Even if we missed the egg this cycle ( which I think we probably did ) I feel we're finally on the right path xxxx

 

[nats77]

Maybe a biased opinion but how gorgeous are my kids? Lol just wanted to share for those not on face book,

 

[wishnhoping]

Thats amazing! I really hope this is it for you and Im so happy someone is finally taking this seriously...

 

[wishnhoping]

[gemmy]

Ah they are adorable nats ! and good luck this month, fx for you !

Wow wishin 30 weeks and flying! no not bding yet. my af was delayed until Saturday ( i had spotted 10-14 dpo and it came on 15dpo i was very confused) so only cd3 today but ready for a fresh cycle

Hope everyone else is k as my little boy would say

 

[nats77]

Thanks gemmy, I know I shouldn't say it about my own babies but I am very proud of them, my oldest was no where to be seen as soon as I started taking pics lol.

Good luck for this cycle Hun, fxed for you xx

 

[leia37]

Nats - of course you should say it about your own babies - you are right they are gorgeous. my OH and I regularly look at each other and say how beautiful all ours are. (we're bias too ). It was your eldest's birthday last week, those 12 years went quick . Glad things are getting sorted and you have your appointment soon and you sound so positive .

Gemmy - good luck this cycle.

Wishin - glad you are feelling better, hope you manage to get some sleep soon. just your bodies way of getting you ready for whats to come. should be allowed to sleep while you can though.

We are trying to hold off starting solids until 6 months but its very hard. I have all the stuff here and ready. All my other kids have/had ezcema and food intolerences or allegies so should try to wait. Really hard though as Finn is feeding more and feels like he would love the food. Couldnt believe my OH the other day, he started to give him a bit of his biscuit to suck on (not even a baby no sugar etc.. biscuit.) Finn's first taste of foods isnt going to be a biscuit. My Oh constantly moans that i give the kids too many biscuits and sweets (i'm so tight when it comes to sweets and sugar - abit more relaxed on biscuits as i dunk them like they are going out of fashion.!!!!) So i'm counting the days / hours till i can have fun with solids. will be surprised if i make it to 6 months

 

[nats77]

Thanks leia, they sure did go quick! Makes u realise just how much u should treasure every moment because before u know it they are grown up! He's twelve going on 18 as well so it doesn't help lol.

Can't believe your lo is over four months already! Good luck with the weaning! Love that stage xx

 

[wishnhoping]

Good morning ladies!!!

So last night I put the crib togehter and put most of the stuff up in the nursery that my mom bought me. She pretty much bought me my entire nursery set...quilt/blanket, sheets, bumper, valance, hamper, lamp..its all so cute! Its even better than I remember when I registered for it.

I put all the sheets and blankets in the washer and then put it in the dryer...except preggo brain made me forget to turn the dryer ON! So I went to go up to bed and put the stuff away and thats when I realized...so that wont be done until today.

My friend confirmed to me that shower invitations have gone out so my 'surprise' shower should be fairly soon. I added a few more items to my list at my MIL's request but honestly I dont need any of it...I keep telling her that all I really NEED is clothes in different sizes so Im hoping to get lots of that.

Whats everyone up to? Haley you must be so ready to get this over with!

 

[LittleSpy]

Leia -- I can't believe Finn is over 4 months! How did that happen?! I just almost died when I realized Quinn is almost 2 months. Goes too fast. I'm already lamenting Violet growing up too fast and she isn't even here yet!

Nats -- Yes, your children are absolutely beautiful! You should be very proud.

Cris -- Hehe about the dryer. Can't say I've never done that before. We finally have a new washer (well, a new old washer) so I can get to washing newborn and 0-3 month stuff. I'm trying to hold out a little longer, though, because crazy me worries about washing them too soon. I'm excited about your shower! I'm pretty sure I'm not going to have one at all this time. Maybe one at work, but I'm even doubting that (and I don't want one at work). I don't care because we don't really need anything, having just done this with the same sex baby 18 months ago. I've actually been getting RID of baby stuff we never/rarely used and clothes that I don't like while nesting.

I'm a ball of nerves right now. My mom is currently at a realtor's office making an offer on a place for us... that we haven't even seen yet. She went to see it this morning and loves it (now, this is relative love compared to the other properties we've been considering for the past couple of weeks. ). Loves it so much she felt she immediately needed to make an offer. We were trying to figure out why it's so cheap (it was just listed last Friday) and I discovered this morning that it's a foreclosure. So basically a bidding war is about to happen and we're just hoping to win. Not to mention the stupid thing has to remain on the market for at least 15 days to give the previous owners a chance to buy it back. So we still have 10 days of waiting on pins and needles, even if she's the highest bidder.

Anyway, I'm so excited because her buying this for us (we'll be paying her back starting after our house here sells) because it completely cements that I won't be coming back to this job I hate so much after maternity leave! It cements that I'll be able to pursue becoming an IBCLC. It cements we'll be selling our house *soon* and getting out of this high-crime neighborhood and city we both hate. It cements financial stability and being able to send our girls to private montessori school. It makes so many amazing things possible for us. No, I don't have my hopes up too far at all.

 

[wishnhoping]

Oh Julie!!!! I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!! I really really really hope this happens and you get the house!!!!!

AFM- I am excited about my shower becasue 1. I have a completely different group of friends then I did when I was pregnant with Brayden and it would be nice to celebrate the baby with them 2. I really need clothes! I actually gave my sister most of the early stages clothing so I have some stuff I kept from Brayden but its mostly 9months and up...putting the nursery together kind of got me excited about a girl...its a lot of pink haha

3am and I'm up... Yay
