light hearted ttc

[Blondiejay]

Morning ladies,
How are you all today?
Patrice, what's the update?
I'm feeling good although my hips are really sore at night now and I wake up every couple of hours or so.
We have our first antenatal class which I'm really looking forward to. My OH has nearly finished painting the wardrobe in the nursery and will be stripping the wallpaper this week along with taking the tiles off in the bathroom ready for decorating on Monday. It's all slowly coming together. :0)

 

[boxxey]

So glad its all coming together. My doppler should be here today or tomorrow. Im an orange

 

[josephine3]

Aww susi so glad ur making progress on the nursery!getting ready for baby is so much fun! You guys are making me miss being pregnant!

 

[Blondiejay]

I really think I'll miss feeling the baby moving around, although at times it can be uncomfortable when it's stretching!
We have planned to have the bursery painted a silvery grey with a white blind and white furniture. We can then add colour to it once the baby is born, I'm looking forward to buying colourful clothes etc rather then the standard white!! I'm convinced I'm having a boy now, the way I am carrying seems to be a boy.

How's Georgia?

Patrice any news?

AFM, i am in PAIN!!!! Well, i started having TERRIBLE cramps last night and ended up releasing ALOT of blood. This morning, it was heavier than normal and I passed a HUGE clot the size of two thumbs . Didn't know i passed it until I went to change my pad and I was shocked to see it. This is day 2 of the super heavy bleeding and terrible pain. I have no clue whats going on but im just ready for it to end. Also, i shall be checking out apartments in Connecticut in November and most likely move that same month but we should see because we had a minor setback so just patiently waiting. DH heard me explain whats going on with me and he thinks im going through a m/c but i just think Im having one weird cycle but of course he begs to differ because this happened with the last m/c but i never took a test so i cant really base it on his theory but who knows. Im just ready to go to Connecticut so I can be with DH and also be able to go to the doctor and get all the proper tests ran. We might wait for baby until he goes on shore duty so he can be part of the whole pregnancy but we shall see what the Lord has in store for us. So here I am in cd2, super heavy bleeding, passing HUGE clots and with 20 times worse cramps. It shall get better soon.

Oh patrice im sory to hear that. i hope ur not in pain too much longer this sounds similar to when i think i had an early mc the month before i got my bfp. I hope its not for u but u never kno u might be extra fertile next cycle...

Susi georgia is doing well thanx.. We're back to sleeping thru 11 till 6.30 woo! She is getting fussy at feeding times tho she takes a couple of sucks then pulls away, sometimes she cries and it sounds painful. Its quite distressing.. I think she maybe has some kind of gas issue.

 

[Blondiejay]

Sorry to hear that Patrice, hope you feel better soon. x

Ashley, All good this end thanks, I'm getting super excited about the decorating!! My mum is taking me out for lunch on Saturday and baby shopping while my OH takes all the tiles off in the bathroom.

Jo, Wow that's great Georgia is sleeping through!! Are you expressing as well? I only ask because I really want to try and breastfeed but I also want to express so my OH can do an evening feed when he gets home from work.

 

[boxxey]

Got my doppler yesterday, babys HB is 150-167, so sorry patrice that u r in pain hope it goes away soon

 

[mzswizz]

Jo-Hope Georgia doesnt have any gas issue. And DH has already said if it is a m/c that it is a good sign that i will be extra fertile and should be fertile around the time i come up to Connecticut. So seems like somebody is already planning ahead

Susi-Thanks yes im feeling much better now.

Boxxey-Thats great news.

AFM, this is one weird cycle going on because for the past 3 days i have been passing bubbly...yes BUBBLY blood Like when it comes out it looks like red suds (sorry tmi) It is sooo weird to me. It doesnt come out normal so thats another thing that is putting me in straight confusion. My body just isnt acting right at all.

 

[Blondiejay]

Not heard of it being bubbly before! Glad you're feeling better now, fingers crossed for you.

Boxxey, are you finding out the sex of yours?

 

[boxxey]

I am, i think its a girl but i have an ultra sound in 3 weeks

 

[Blondiejay]

Apparently if the heatbeat is above 145 it's likely to be a girl. Ours is looking like a boy if you believe it. We'll see.

 

[mzswizz]

AFM, going through the foam bleeding again But its getting lighter. Will try and fin a doctor so I can speak to one asap and also now DH sees the urgency of getting rid of these ovarian cysts because they are really messing up my cycles.

 

[AC1987]

Patrice maybe you should see a doc? that sounds weird whats happening with you... I've never heard of foaming blood.

AFM cassidy is down to 2 feedings a night Its such an odd feeling, it feels like yesterday I found out I got my bfp but at the same time I can't imagine life without Cassidy

 

[josephine3]

I have heard it all now patrice ! Bubby blood?! Well i hope the pain has at least passed.. Maybe u shud see a doctor if it lasts any longer than a normal af.

Susi iv not tried expressing yet, i was going to try today so me and my oh cud go out for his bday but with her doing this weird fussing and crying at the breast im gonna wait a bit i dont wanna confuse things even more. Im in 2 mindsabout it really... Part of me doesnt want her to have a bottle yet but it would be easier for practical reasons... I dont evem kno yet if i will be able to express well or if she will even take the bottle. I will let u kno how it goes when i do try!i think ashley has tried it tho and its been ok...?

 

[Blondiejay]

Patrice, I hope the doctor can give you some answers.

Ashley, Yay to 2 feeds a night! Have you been expressing your milk?

Jo, Thanks I would be instrested to see how she gets on if you decide to go ahead.

How is everyone? I'm knackered, I get to Friday and all I want is my bed! Last night my hips were so sore again so I'll try and have some snoozes over the weekend!

 

[josephine3]

Wow busy morning on here! There was a whole page worth of new msgs appeared just while i was typing my reply!

Im good but tired too, had a late night last night had a friend over. Finally starting to have a social life again! It is so difficult with georgia tho to get out and do much !

I bet u guys will have what u think ur having - i had a feeling she was a girl all along!

 

[Blondiejay]

Jo, Do you have many friends with babies that are off work as well? I have a few so hopefully I'll be able to pop round to theirs or they come over. It will probably be a different story when the baby arrives thoguh as I'll have no energy! But that's the plan anyway.
I've said girl from the start but I'm starting to think it's a boy.

 

[AC1987]

Susi yes I express, my baby so far hasnt shown any nipple confusion, only if its a different bottle from what shes used to haha

Jo how much does Georgia weigh now? Cassidy had her 2 month visit at the pediatrician on the 2nd and is up to 10 pounds 5 ounces gaining about 1 oz a day.
