light hearted ttc

[AC1987]

Its HOT and dry out here... anyone wanna travel to my state?

I'm SO tired with a headache but I'm not enjoying the look of our messy apartment so I plan on cleaning it like crazy maybe even set up a laundry basket or cardboard box in our room to where I hope the bassinet will go(if my dh will ever agree to us buying one)
Grrr he didn't take out the garbage or do the litter today. Yet if I do it he tells me I should be taking it easy.
I hope this doesn't happen for you ladies but the longer I'm pregnant the more pissed off I am at my hubby with how he acts or is.

[motherofboys]

wow congrats!!

 

[Blondiejay]

YAY Boxxey!!!! It will for sure!

Ashley, we just need some sun and warmth. It's supposed to be summer. :0(
My OH has been alright so far apart from saving money, I have got so good at saving for the baby and keep to a budget. But he just isn't taking it seriously, I have spoken to him about it so we will see.

 

[boxxey]

it rained for 30 mins last night for the first time in 5 weeks we are on a no burn and cant run outside water for more then an hour.....they are calling it a stage 2 drought

 

[Sarah Lou 80]

Boxxey congratulations!! That's such great news! So pleased for you.

Ashley, my Oh is rubbish at doing the garbage. It's the only job he has at home and yet I still have to remind him! I don't want to have to remind him coz I don't want to sound like a nag but, my God, is it really that hard?!

 

[AC1987]

congrats boxxy!! Hope its a sticky one for u!! hhaha yes I believe the states has passed up our heat your way

Its been about 40C for a while now here!! not enjoyable to go out in...

So I made canned green beans, and then my mom called and I told her and she freaked out saying that if you don't do it right you can die from eating it, so me and my DH looked it up online, and apparently if you don't use the pressurize method of canning it then it can grow botulism And I just did the water bath one. GRRR!! So now I think I should throw them out cause I'd hate to get really sick from it.

 

[josephine3]

Wow congratulations boxxey! Love it when i pop in and the first thing i see is a bfp! Was it u who was saying u were late but thought it was the b6 vits?

You guys can have some of our rain we have flooding over here in the uk!

 

[AC1987]

Jo congrats on being 36 weeks!! 28 days til your due date I hope you have your baby first and then explain how it is!

 

[AC1987]

Hayley, you've disappeared again! Hows things?

Patrice are you in training now?


Hope all you other ladies are good

AFM... went for the hospital tour last night of the labour & delivery and post partum section. AHHH!! I still feel like I have no idea where I'm going I just don't feel ready, like they said they encourage people to stay home til they're in active labour, however how would I know? Also since the enterance into the hospital closes at 9pm I would hafta enter in from emerg which is a good 20 min walk to where i hafta be. I dunno I just keep panicing I would rather get to the hospital early enough and just be able to relax not to have everything so rushy.

 

[Blondiejay]

Jo, It's supposed to clear up from next week...fingers crossed!

Ashley, My home midwife is really keen for me to give birth at home if all goes well!! They come round to your house when you are in labour to see if you are ready to go to hospital. I don't want my first baby delivered at home, I want to be in hospital with all the help, medication etc to hand!!

 

[motherofboys]

Just trust your instincts. If you go in REALLY early they will try to send you home, but you kind of get to a point when you feel like 'no i need to go somewhere, i need to be checked' My contractions never got regular with my 1st so i just lied as i just knew i needed to be checked and said they were regular 3 minutes apart (the timings the hospital had told me to wait for) went in and was 7cm.

 

[boxxey]

top test i was 12 dpo bottom i am 14 dpo getting darker......i am going for a dating scan in 2 weeks

 

[Blondiejay]

[Blondiejay]

[mzswizz]

congrats boxxey!

susi-the video was amazing!

AFM, wow sorry ladies I havent been on much. I only have 5 days left before I leave and I must say, I have been very busy getting everything sorted out so I can finally relax before leaving. Im very excited to go in. I cant wait to see DH. My family is coming around now about me leaving to go to the Navy. And they even bought a webcam so we can video chat once I get out of boot camp. We received the formal invite for DH's graduation on August 31st Cant believe he is graduating already. It doesnt seem like he has been in there for like 3 weeks now. Time surely is flying. Speaking of time, I am already on cd14. I havent been really paying attention to my cycle at all. I just want to say that Im going to miss every last one of you. Im so glad that I have you women in my life going through my journey as well as letting me into your journeys. We have been through good times and bad and even whacky times But we have all kept each others' spirits high and always was willing to give out a helping hand and I must say, you ladies made me who I am today as a woman and a wife that is ttc. So i want to say thank you for everything you ladies have done and will do for me in the future And one more thing...i am officially an E2 yay AIRMAN APPRENTICE CLAYTON!!!!

 

[AC1987]

Awww best of luck Patrice at boot camp I'm sure you'll do amazing there!! Hopefully you'll be able to check in here sometime during the course of your training. Feel free to send an email or two if you're allowed Wow your dh is gonna graduate probably after my baby is born


AFM went to my midwife appt, baby is head down everything looks good.... except my weight Haven't gained a pound BOO!! So I had to have bloodwork to make sure I dont have a thyroid problem. But I'm so frusterated cause I really am eating ALOT!!

 

[josephine3]

Awww patrice we will miss u! Good luck xxx

ashley its a good job we dont get weighed cos im not really gaining either.
We do get fundal height measured tho and mine showed slow growth again.. So off i went for another scan.. Scan was a little better but still not following the curve of the graph so i have to go back again in 2 weeks for another scan
if shes still in there that is lol. Everything else looks good - baby head down, scan shows shes really low, and facing my back so good position - my mw stopped measuring me cos she said i was having 'tightenings' which i cudnt even feel. So iv been having braxton hicks and didnt even realise! Still feeling lots of pressure too. Just hope the next measurements match up.

Susi ur pregnancy is flying by! Congrats again boxxey!

 

[Blondiejay]

Good luck Patrice, will miss you x

Ashley - I haven't weighed myself since week 5. To be honest I haven't put any weight on anywhere other then my belly. I used to have an overactive thyroid, I was diagnosed when I was about 23ish, I had to have regular blood tests and was put on medication. Then after a couple of years it just went!! Weird!

Jo - How exciting, she is ready to come out now! Hope your measurements come through ok.

I wonder how Hayley is getting on.
