light hearted ttc

[AC1987]

Jo, that sounds like Cassidy on most days, where she just whines and I'm like omg why are you so fussy, and she too laughs at my pain silly girl! And yes its just a surprise because really how could it happen so fast, yes we were ntnp only preventing sometimes, and then for the most part wtt.


lily, awww I guess that's a good thing then!


Susi, yes I will be updating my journey again, however it feels a lot diff 2nd time around.

Patrice, looking forward to when you get a bfp!!

 

[hello_kitty]

Ashley, how does it feel different? I am interested to know so I can prepare myself. Also are you still breastfeeding the majority o the time or 50/50? I am still mostly breastfeeding giving him an occasional bottle if we have to go out.

Susi - Zachary still doesnt have any teeth yet, he is born 8 weeks early though so he is supposed to be barely 7 months. Is Darcy crawling yet? Zachary is trying to crawl.

Zachary has been annoying me during the night lately always wanting to breastfeed during the night! He is almost 9 months and should be sleeping well during the night. His doctor told me wean him from his night feeds but I just cant since he is a little on the thin side, but it is sooo irritating.

 

[hello_kitty]

So dh and I just had a quick talk and we both agreed that we will ttc once my period ends. If we are lucky first time around, we will have an April/May baby. There will be a 16 month age gap between the two of them. One thing I love about my dh is thathe is an easy going person.

Ashley, I bet you will be more relaxed the second time around.
Lily, Darcy rolls everywhere! She lifts her bum up to crawl and then rolls over.
Wow, hopefully you'll get pregnant straight away! Good luck!!

 

[hello_kitty]

Susi Zachary is the exact same way. He is in the crawling position and tries to move his knee forward only to collapse on his tummy. He rolls really fast and uses his arms to pull his body forward.

Lily, since I plan on stopping bfing at 1 year (I have nothing against women who carry on past 1 year just for me 1 year works) I'm down to just bfing her in the morning. And actually she won't bf any other time of the day no matter how hungry she's VERY easily distracted. So I'm slowly making my supply go down as I don't wanna go cold turkey, I might keep the morning feed for a while yet I'm unsure, but a majority of the feeding is now by bottle, some pumped some formula. And good luck ttcing!


Susi, aww Darcy is getting bigger too now! Isn't it crazy how just one month for a baby they change so much??


AFM, I'm debating when I should tell my parents, I told my sisters already, and I'm hoping they're keeping quiet about it right now. Part of me is sad cause then I'll know my mom won't wanna come in January like she was planning and she'll wanna come when the baby is born.

 

[hello_kitty]

Ashley i also wanna breastfeed until 1 year. We originally wanted to breastfeed for 6 months but after the attachment, we expanded it to one year. A part of me wants to get pregnant, but another part is telling me to think really hard if I am ready. It will be irreversible if I do fall pregnant. I have a hunch that if we ttc I will fall pregnant by the end of the year if not immediately.

 

[AC1987]

If you have help and if you're dh helps out then I'd say go for it, its easier when you have people around helping, which I don't really have. My Dh grudgingly will help out but its not like he enjoys it hahaha.
I'm SLOWLY warming up to the idea, however it still feels weird.

I have a feeling my mom got told by someone she tried phoning me allllll afternoon I just apparently kept missing her calls.
I rang her back only my Dh was in the room so I couldn't tell her, so I might just email her, though I think she already knows, my sisters have a HARD time of keeping their mouth shut grr.

 

[hello_kitty]

Ashley I dint get any help at all from my family. My mom has never helped me take care of Zachary, I've never had a day time myself. My husband helps but the most he does when he is home Iis keep an eye on ZachAry to make sure he doesn't fall off the bed. Sometimes he give Zachary a bath. I would be taking care of the babis 90% of the time, so im not sure what to do.

 

[AC1987]

Well I look at it, my life has changed in a huge way already, I can never go back, and by the time she'll wanna sleep in will be when shes a teenager So my chance to sleep in will hafta wait til my kids are older However adding one more baby I'm hoping... HOPING won't be too much of a difference seeing how hugely its changed now.

On a 2nd note, I'm unsure what to do. First my DH told me to find a different hospital from last time, mostly because of the distance, its like an extra 15 mins then before so all together half an hour plus finding parking and all that, you get the picture. So I'm a tad upset over that, because I was so used to it, and just thought it was understood that that's where I would be having my babies at... Also he's informed me that I'm not to have a midwife, that he'd like me to see a doctor, and he won't listen to my reasoning when I say why I'd like a midwife again.
So not only do I now hafta find a hospital HE approves of, I hafta find a doctor.

Omg ashley congrats I've just been reading bk hope all u ladies r ok x

 

[AC1987]

Hayley!! you're back!! you're missed here! how is life with the two girls?

 

[mzswizz]

welcome back Hayley!

Ashley once again congrats to you. Wow cant believe your pregnant already.

AFM, im cd10 today and still taking my temps. Its in the stable 97s which is good so far. I have my follow up appt. with the surgeon on the Aug. 5th and I also have my appt. with my primary doc on Aug. 7th because she wants me to come in so we can discuss fertility issues and work from there because she knows I want to get pregnant She has really been very helpful throughout this process. She wants me to get pregnant and she told me she rather have me wait until the hernia repair surgery before ttc so now that its done...now its time for me to go see her. I have realized that on Aug. 7th, DH is going away on his detachment and will be gone from Aug. 7th to Aug. 23rd so most likely this cycle will lead to AF which is okay for me. Atleast I can spend time preparing my body. Also, I think the earliest I will ov (FF told me) is Aug. 8th but we shall see. So everything is going well. Oh and big news...my friend is moving up here on August 18th and will be staying with us So now I wont be alone and she said once I get pregnant and have the baby...she will help dh and I out whenever I need help like if I get pregnant and he has to go away on deployment etc So everything is going to work out quite well now. And also her boyfriend is stationed at the Everett, Washington base which isn't that far maybe an hour drive from us. So it all works out for all of us. I have my advisor appt. on Aug. 12th so I can sign up for classes so I can start school and also I start back work after Aug. 27th which happens to be my parents anniversary. Speaking of anniversary..today makes 4 yrs that DH and I have been married Well that's it for now.

 

[AC1987]

Happy 4 years Patrice!! aww does it feel like time has flown for you two? I hope you got to do something special! Aww well if this cycle doesn't work then I hope you catch the egg the next one!

 

[josephine3]

Hi hayley great to hear from u! Omg ashley look at your new ticker wow! Hehe. Has it sunk in yet? Why is ur dh so against u having a midwife? Here we just get a mw all the way thru unless theres any probs. Even then u wud see the doctor but still go to mw appointment too.
Oh and just fyi i am also dowm to a morning bf also. I too was planning on stopping altogether at 1,,, but maybe a little longer is ok lol. We do still both enjoy our morning cuddle time, i just lay down with her to feed her and i dont have to get up and make her a bottle which she then has to wait for ! I dont kno how shed like it either in the morning shes so used to straight into my bed for boobie!

 

[AC1987]

I guess he figures since it costs the same I should see a doc instead. And yeah here if you choose to see a midwife then if you're high risk you get refered to a doc... I just want this to seem normal and natural, I don't like the whole doc route and I KNOW doctors here, they DO pressure medication, they pressure them to start labour they pressure you to have epidurals or c sections, its annoying. To me doctors are more for if you're ill or something.
Ahhh well theres still time he might come around!

its so much easier down to just one bfing I was starting to really get annoyed by it. But I'm proud that I made it this far! You should be too!!

It still feels so surreal I just keep expecting my period to start, though the excitement has JUST started to sink in

 

[boxxey]

Congrats on the bfp, in 7 and half days I will be married Aug 3rd is fast approaching im so nervous

 

[magicwhisper]

awh i bet your excited

 

[mzswizz]

boxxey-cant wait for your wedding pics!

Ashley-yes time has flown by for us..together for 7 years and married for 4 years.

AFM, im on cd11 currently and DH just made me laugh today. Sooo this cycle, we haven't really dtd as much because of the whole surgery. But now since I am better, we have been dtd. So this is how the conversation went:

DH: are you ovulating because you have a lot of discharge (that's what he calls it)
Me: (laughs) I don't think so.
DH: well we need to have more sex because if you want a baby..you better start having sex with me every day.
Me: You just want more sex.
DH: okay that too (laughs)

Only my dh I tell you. So now, we are cleaning out the 2nd bedroom for my friend to move in. And also, I have applied for another job so hopefully that comes through because I need more hours.

 

[AC1987]

funny!


My DH is so off dtd at the moment. I think because he knows I'm preg... I tried cuddling up with him yesterday morning and he's all like "No, that's what started this situation" I think he's still hoping its a bad dream that'll go away

boxxy awww that's cassidys bday party! have fun on your wedding!!


Today me and my DH tried out this new restaurant, it was nasty, it smelled like dirty bathrooms as soon as we walked in, the seats were from the '70s even in bad condition. We shoulda just turned around and walked out. but we sat down, ordered food took a long while before my food was ready.. and then now our stomachs feel ill
