Hi Ladies.

Ashley I'm here! hehe. Sorry i've been away for so long. Life has just got in the way and we've stopped trying for now. Plus we now have 3 cats and a dog so it is busy busy busy! I was just thinking last night about you ladies and thinking about how you are doing. I am currently making my way through the thread but Ashley your baby girl is soo lovely! Congrats!!! :-D

Katie welcome back!!!!

AFM, im on cd15. I finally got the new health insurance processed and that's going to be effective November 1st. But Im going to wait until I'm with DH to go to the doctor so we both can find out and I dont just go by myself. I really need my support system. For some odd reason, DH and I both have that "prepare for the worst mentallity" in which we both said was pretty bad to do, so we are just going to go in and find out what's wrong. I have been tossing and turning all night so not really any sleep for me. Also, a tooth that has been causing pain, popped out on its own :shock: I think something hit it when I was eating but atleast I dont have to deal with pain :thumbup: Now if only my wisdom teeth would pop out on their own..would save me a trip to the dentist :haha: 36 more days until Im on vacation in Connecticut with DH :happydance: Im super happy. And then DH graduates on Nov. 30th and I move to Connecticut around the beginning of December after I come back which is Dec. 3rd! Atleast I will be up there before Christmas and my birthday. My DH already bought me my gift and its an IPOD eeeekkk :happydance: I needed a new one so he bought me a 160GB IPOD Classic :happydance: He knows just what to buy me. Now I got to think of what to buy him for Christmas. Im hoping to atleast be able to ttc during the trip if not then December definitely. And the funny thing is...if we conceive December (my birth month)...beanie would be due in September (DH's birth month) which DH was always hoping would happen secretly :haha: But we shall see. As for as my body goes, I just been taking the prenatals but I get too much cm. Yes, I know it sounds weird to complain about cm but seriously, I either have to put a panty liner on or end up changing underwear in midday because it leaks out as if its the after result of dtd :shrug: Don't know whats going on neither. Thought it could be like early ovulation or something :shrug: My cycles are being all over the place. The earliest for my cycle to start was I think 16 days and the longest 52 days so thats my new range instead of 35 days now. So now we just :coffee: Also, today, I have to enroll in dental insurance so getting all the enrollment etc out the way so I can start the health and dental process. Most likely going to do the dental work before the health because I want to be pain free before ttc but we shall see.
 
Okay I've finally finished reading the thread bits that i've missed!

Congrats Jo, Ashley, Louise and Hayley on your beautiful babies!! I can't believe time has passed so fast! It feels like yesterday when you got your BFPs! :D

Congrats to the ladies who are pregnant and are awaiting their bundles to arrive!! Jealous!! :D hehehe.

Welcome back Patrice. Sorry to hear about your medical discharge but as they say, the Lord works in mysterious ways. There is obviously a plan for you that doesn't involve the Navy! Hopefully it is to get that BFP in your next cycle! Congrats on your new insurance. Hopefully the drs can help figure out what is happening!!

So yea, we have just stopped dtd to be honest. It is mainly cos of the constant bleeding I have. It was our 2 year anniversary on Sunday :D :D :D and lo and behold...the bleeding stopped!!! :D just in time so we have dtd on sunday and yesterday. Might even pounce on him tonight too.....got to get the most of it whilst the bleeding has stopped! hehe. So technically we are NT/NP so who knows! :D

Well I went to the drs about a month a go and saw a lady doctor hoping for them to prescribe me metaformin as the 1st dr suggested but NO. It felt like she was judging me for being overweight and said she wasn't happy to prescribe me metaforming without an oby but they wouldn't without weight loss. Plus I found out that a contraceptive pill that the other dr was on about had a very high chance of blood clots so that's a definite no-go to me. In fact the only positive was that she has recommended me for a weight loss program. I came out of it in tears as I really felt like I was being judged. I just don't get it. I'm overweight and I have a condition which makes losing weight 10X harder and I really struggle. So i've gone to the drs asking for help and they are saying "oh but you have to lose weight!" GRRRRRRR. I have totally lost my faith in drs to be honest. I have an appointment on Friday to go see the original doctor who said about metaformin and he is the only dr I am willing to see about this now. So i'll have to take it from there!!!

In the mean time, we have added a kitten and a dog to our home. So now we have Sally (Cat, 8 years), Tango (cat, 1 & half years), Moonlight (Kitten, 5 months) and Ralph (dog, 8 years). We took Ralph in as his owners weren't looking after him properly but we are now admitting that we probably shouldn't have took him as we are a bit overloaded now. We are actually talking about finding him a new home but we know he is in a good home for now :) Moonlight is an all black bundle of fur. We named her Moonlight cos most of the time when you look at her you can just see these 2 eyes that look like moons :D we got her when she was 9 weeks old so she is truely our baby. She even lets me cradle her like a baby. :D :D :D

Here's my facebook page ladies: https://www.facebook.com/KittyK8 add me as a friend! But please know that no-one apart from you guys know about us TTC/NTNP so please don't mention it on my page :D

Hi Katie,
Welcome back! Sounds like you have a handful with your pets, I see it as you're just practising being a mum to fur babies first. We have the most adorable cat called Cash who came with the flat we bought (we bought the flat from a friend and she didn't want Cash moving as she is about 12/13 years old). We really love her as if she is a baby.
Anyway, I hope the original doctor that you went to see can give you the news you want and the metaformin.

Patrice, not long now until you're with your DH. I remember when my OH was living in Ireland when we first met and counting down the days until we saw each other again. Absence makes the heart grow fonder!!

AFM, We are moving back to our flat tonight after just over a week of staying at my mums and friends. The bathroom is nearly done, it just needs the tiling to be finished and a few things done here and there. The nursery is nearly finished too! It was all be finished by Friday and I cannot wait to see it all done!!
Babies furniture and our new massive bed is arriving next Tuesday, so we can start washing babies clothes and finally getting everything prepapred. So exciting!
 
I just skimmed through the first 100 or so pages to when I found out I had a bfp.. wow that time went by SO fast!!
Welcome back Katie, I added you on facebook :D
Aww so cute about your pets!!

Patrice, hopefully you don't find it too cold in the north :haha: I wish you luck at the doctors when you go :)

Susi, 3-10 weeks til your baby could be here(right?) :thumbup: :haha:
 
:D yea the cats are like our babies :D Especially Tango and Moonlight since we've had them since kittens :D

Gosh Ralphie is annoying me so much today buttt it's good preparation for a kid hehehe!

Ooo That sounds lovely Susi! Bet you can't wait for the last few weeks to fly by! :D

I can't wait for a baby but we have to start thinking about whether now is the right time with the animals...we would be fine if it was just the cats, sooooo yeaaa lol. Anyone want a dog? :P hehe. only joking. I love him really. :D :D
 
Ashley, Argh it's so soon isn't it!!! My last day at work is the 9th and the lady who is covering me starts on Monday for a 3 week handover. It all feels really final.

Katie, hope Ralphie gives you a break soon!! Cash is preparing me during the night as she jumps up on our bed and meaows in my face for me to give her room to lie down! She gets away with everything, so spoilt!
 
Lol bless you cat. Moon used to do that. I think she was taken from her mum too soon and I've sort of replaced her. When we got her she was in our bedroom to separate her from the other 2 cats and she annoyed us so much in the night we actually moved to the spare room.....run out of our own bedroom from a kitten! hehehe. But she just loves company and she's been integrated with the other two successfully sooo yesterday we took back our bedroom! YAY!! :D OH was so happy :D
 
Haha cats really do rule the roost don't they!! Cash is sooooo vocal and is constantly meowing at us, she just loves attention too. We have really missed her this last week or so. We have popped in a few times but it's not the same.
 
Awwwww so cute! Cash is loving the attention since we got home this evening. For to go to antenatal class in a minute though for 2 hours!!
 
Yes defo, there are 3 in total, the first is answering any questions you have an telling you about when to go into hospital, what labour is like etc, the 2nd was about giving birth, different pains medication, what can go wrong, etc and today's the last was about what happens once true baby is born. Even though I have read a fair bit I have defo learned a lot.
 
I didn't go to any classes, I guess the most thing that woulda helped me is if someone could explain exactly how contractions felt... which no one I talked to could :wacko: but I can tell you it feels like your stomach is doing muscle contractions on its own like nothing you do stops it.. atleast not for me :haha:

awww those are so adorable pets katie!! I would love to get another cat but we've decided to wait til Cassidy is atleast a 1 year before getting one. :)
 
Thanks Ashley!

Yea they say having a cat and a baby is a bad combination as the cat will probably want to sleep on the baby or something like that.

Ralph definitely has to go. I was sat with him on the leash and opened the kitchen door and moon was there. All was going well with the training until he totally went for her and nearly got her. I'm not having this. We just don't have the time to train him properly with cats and the cats were here first. :-(

Well update with me. I've just felt so low all day. I've been crying for most of it and I don't know why. I'm worried that my depression is rearing it's head again. I'll have to talk to OH about it when he gets home later I suppose.

Hope all is well with everyone

xoxo
 
I think it depends on the cat Katie, mine wants nothing to do with babies and kids and will stay far far away LOL!!
 
Sorry you're feeling so down Katie, it's great oh can talk to your partner. Big hugs.

We had out midwifes round tonight for our 34 week check, she said baby is 2 5ths engaged and a little small but nothing to worry about as I'm so small as well. Heartbeat was still low which indicates a boy if you believe it.

After she left we had really bad news, a friend of ours took his own life yesterday. We don't know anymore information then that. So sad as he always seemed so positive, I had quite a cry and baby kicked throughout. It just makes you think life is so precious.
