I don't know when I'll be testing. May do it in 2 weeks as can't afford the tests until then! Sooo i'll have to wait BUT at least it give my body plenty of time to get that HCG up if I am! hehe

Patrice - hoping you feel better soon! It's always good to see a doctor. I couldn't wait for my appointment last week and now I can't wait to hear from the gyn

Hi Ladies,
Hope you all are doing well... I'm so tired!! this past weekend we visited the in laws and my DH decided that we should have the baby in our room. And my dh and baby slept well.. me not so much, I just kept thinking that I needed to wake up so I only got like 3 hours sleep. Then we had to come back home cause some friends came over for a visit.. cassidy had her first play date so cute!! our friends baby is only 2 weeks old... can't believe how BIG cassidy looked compared to her.

I go on Nov 1st for my 20 week scan, babys HB is always above 155 i think its a girl, im feeling ok but rrally crappy other times, im off work now

 

[hello_kitty]

Hello ladies! I just have a quick question for for all the new mommas. How much clothes did you buy for baby? As of right now I have about 15 pairs of newborn sleepers/pajamas (all of them footed). They were handed down to me. Should this be enough to last for a week? We only do laundry once a week since we live in an apartment. Should we buy anymore to be on the safe side? Most of the clothing that we bought are 0-3 months since people have told us that baby will fit in them longer than newborn sizes. Even 0-3 sizes, we have less than 20 outfits. Thanks!

 

[AC1987]

hello kitty, well on some days Cassidy messes up about 5 outfits a day whether its spit up on or her diaper leaks I would say about 10 sleepers maybe more depending on how often you do laundry

 

[Blondiejay]

Morning!
Kitty, I haven't bought that many maternity clothes, just some jeans and leggings. Some of my clothes were quite loose fitting so I got away with wearing them for ages as I didn't start showing until later on. I'm getting fed up now though of wearing the same clothes all the time!!
We were supposed to have the nursery furniture and our new bed and mattress delivered yesterday but all they delivered was the wardrobe doors! They said everything else wasn't in stock! Nice of them to have told me! So now it's all being delivered on the 3rd.
I also had my flu jab and whooping cough jab yesterday, my arms are killing me today, they feel like dead weights!

Hi ladies hope u are all well...

Good luck for this month katie!
Hi to ashley and hayley! I have so little time to catch up on bnb gossip it seems! But its all sounding good from what i can see :thumbub:

AFM, well ladies, advil does wonders. I was taking tylenol and it wasnt helping but i took 2 advil tablets and within a hour, i noticed a difference. Also, my temp started to decrease. The last time i took my temp yesterday, my temp was at 97.75 Also was able to sweat it out last night too (just woke up with my clothes drenched so had to change clothes). Im feeling better though. Im gaining energy back which is good. Just couldnt really get a peaceful sleep because i had a toothache but tylenol help me sleep through that. Im on cd5 and the bleeding continues. 2 more days before it ends. I have already scheduled my doc appt and its Nov. 7th at 10:30am. So now all i do is wait. I have to start cleaning up the house before MIL moves in so she can put her stuff where she needs to put it. And i also got to pack my clothes for the trip, I had started but then I had to help MIL pack and then I got sick so it has been on hold. Well thats it for me.

 

[boxxey]

7 more days till my scan :-D we all had the flu in our house the last 3 days so bad, cant wait till my scan

 

[Blondiejay]

Hi ladies,
Glad you're feeling better Patrice.
Boxxey, how exciting although sorry to hear you've all been poorly.

I have a 2 hour breast feeding class today and then a scan at 4 to see if my low lying placenta has moved. If it hasnt then they will book me in for a c section. They said most cases it moves so I'm not too worried...at least we get to see baby today again!!

 

[mzswizz]

AFM, cd6 and the bleeding is still going on. I got over the fever but now im fighting this terrible cough and nose congestion Hopefully, it leaves soon because I have sooo much cleaning and packing that needs to be done. Im going to try my best to start on it again today atleast it will be a working progress. It has been raining for the past few days now and its no good for me while im sick. Im just ready to get better though. Also, since yesterday, I have been thinking of the idea of wanting twins I dont know. For some reason, I think it would be nice to have twins. I mean if i didnt im not going to be disappointed but if i did then at the same time i will be excited about it. I cant wait until my doc appt on Nov. 7th so I can go and talk to her and she what she recommends. Hoping to get Clomid or progesterone cream etc but we shall see. I think the main focus is the ovarian cysts and I think they are hindering me from ovulating like I am suppose to which is causing me to irregular cycles and abnormal bleeding between periods. Im just ready to get everything fixed so I can finally conceive. Well, Im going to go start cleaning now since it's raining very hard here.

 

[josephine3]

Good luck for your scans susi and boxxey! Patrice be careful what u wish for lol. Iv no idea how people with twins manage to cope! X

 

[mzswizz]

Jo-I know i was saying that too but twins run in the family and i think as long as I have my DH helping out..then it would be okay. That and atleast i get 2 kids out the way in one shot Atleast then we can take a break if we decide on more.

AFM, its cd7 and the bleeding is still going on grrr It should've stopped by now but its still going on. I guess me being sick isnt helping Hopefully, it will stop soon because being sick and having AF is not a good combination. Im feeling better though. Just trying to get over this cough and these body aches but other than that im doing better In 2 more weeks, I see my doc yay Im excited to talk her ear off I have been cleaning up so Im proud of myself about that. Still have my room and the living room to finish up. Also, have to do laundry and finish packing for my trip up to Connecticut. As of right now, its getting cooler in Florida. I dont know if its a cold front or what but it was cold last night that's for sure. I am going to go help my MIL pack so I layered up because im still sick and dont want to end up going back to being on bed rest all day. Oh and I talked to DH about the whole twins ordeal and he was actually happy. He was saying that it would be nice so thats good atleast we both wouldnt be like OH NO So let's see what happens after the doc appt. Well, im going to head down to Miami now.

[AC1987]

Heeyyy Ladies!!
Oh Patrice, I used to think twins would be awesome... but one baby at a time is good for me I would go CRAZY!

Me and Cassidy both have little colds however shes been pulling on her ear for the past few days so I might get her looked at... I don't wanna seem like a worry wart parent but I also don't wanna not get her seen if she needs help.

 

[mzswizz]

AFM, today is cd8 As of now, it's still going but i have been experiencing brown bleeding for the past 2-3 days. Maybe me being sick or the medicine is causing it to be brown. Normally, its brown but a light flow and then it ends. But its actual bleeding...still an adequate flow and is brown As far as me being sick...i feel much better. The only thing i have is a sore throat that's all. So the sickness is almost gone for good This is day 4 of being sick. But i have energy and everything just a sore throat. DH is talking about buying a car that has enough room for babies Well i see where his mind is at

 

[josephine3]

Aww patrice ur oh is so cute...thinkin of the twins thing i hope u dont mind me asking but am i remembering right that when we first started talking around a yr ago u were having the mc that was twins? Or am i thinking of someone else...? Maybe u are destined for twins!

Louise what a great birth story i bet u are very busy with 3 boys to look after!

 

[boxxey]

3 more sleeps till my scan........7 days and im.half way there

 

[Blondiejay]

Morning ladies,
Twins would be great, you'd have a ready made family right away!
Louise, sounds like you had a great birth, fingers crossed mine goes the same way!
Ashley, Hope you both feel better soon.

Our scan went really well on Friday, my placenta has moved so no need to book in for a c section...yay!! Babies heart looked good and plenty of fluid around the baby. It's appox weight at the moment is 5lb 9. Didn't get any photos as the head was right down and it's too squashed up to take a decent picture.
We've had dramas at work today, the lady who is covering my maternity cover at work isn't coming back! We were supposed to do a 3 week handover (starting last week) but she has emailed this morning saying she isn't coming back!! My bosses are frantic trying to get someone in to replace her!

 

[mzswizz]

Jo-Yes it was me who had the twin m/c. Maybe i am destined...who knows.

Boxxey-Yay cant wait for you scan.

Louise-Thats a wonderful birth story. 3 men on your hands..i know your hands are full.

Susi-Babes should be here soon. Are you nervous?

AFM, im on cd9 today and AF is still hanging around. The bleeding went back to normal but its finally a light flow so give or take 2 more days. Im hoping it will be over soon. I have my doc appt next Wednesday So it is coming pretty soon. Really hoping that AF doesnt decide to lasts long like those other time when i had a 2 week bleed etc. Think I had enough bleeding already. Especially from Sept. AF and then a random 5 day bleed and now Oct. AF all within a few weeks of each other Not good at all. So I really cant wait to talk to my new doc about it and see what she has to say about it. Hoping she listens and she is not like my previous doc and think that BC will be the answer to everything because if im TTC, then why on earth would i want to use BC?! I tell you, thats why im getting a FEMALE doctor this time. Maybe I will get more common sense from her. Well today I am going to help MIL pack her clothes and come back up here to move them in. She is going to be moving in soon I think. I dont know when but I know she has until next Thursday to move on her own before they throw everything out in the front of the house. I really wish she was able to keep her house but due to circumstances out of our control, she cant. Hopefully, she will be able to get back on her feet soon. As far as being sick..i feel so much better. I havent really been coughing actually I think im actually over the sickness. But now the weather is getting cool. It's 60 degrees as of right now so I just got to wear jeans n shirt n jacket so i dont get sick again. Well thats all for now.
