Lovely bump boxxey!! And i remember when i was a little kid, i use to overload the xmas tree.with lights and candy cane

 

[hello_kitty]

Nice bump boxxey! Your kids are so adorable and love the christmas tree!

Zachary is recovering nicely. He doesnt even look sick anymore, but has to stay for another 7 days to complete the antibiotics treatment. He's eating like a pig and always cries for more after he's finished eating. I really feel like he is a different baby now. Before he got sick, he kept having spells where he would stop or forget to breath. Now those spells are completely gone! Its like magic! It feels very nice seeing him off of the nasal canula. He'll be home next monday, 2 days before my bday! Yay!

Sooo many congrats susi! I wish they could have drained the pool for me as i fsinted when i got out but they wouldnt for some reason..
Well done with going all naural its distressing to have to get the epidural after i sympathise!
So glad to hear she is here safely u must be thrilled. Good luck for the first few weeks! Take it as easy as u can and relax into it.

Lovely big bump boxxey!

Great to hear about zachary coming home hello kitty u must be so excited!

Sorry to hear about ur aunt Ashley

afm, not much going on , i feel i am settling a little too well into motherhood! I think i need to be more pro-active and go out more to baby groups and stuff!

Georgia has been hard to put down to bed the past 2 nights so thats been annoying. She used to go down sleepy but now suddenly needs to be asleep. Iv had to go back and resettle her which i dont normally have to do

Jo, I feel so lucky right now, Cassidy cries to go to sleep even for naps as soon as I put her in her crib she stops and puts herself to sleep I hope it stays the same.. I hate being sleep deprieved.

AFM, im cd12 today and AF is just dragging out her stay. Its pretty much not more left in there but its finding a way to still linger. I have on a panty liner and barely anything gets on there plus its only there when I wipe. AF needs to just go already. Hoping it ends today or tomorrow because I suppose to get the pap smear & u/s on thursday so if its still here....i wont be able to get the pap smear and would have to reschedule for that. Well, tomorrow is my hemotologist appt so will update about that when I come home from the appt. Yesterday, dh helped me through an emotional time. I came home to a living room that I couldn't walk through. I mean literally, boxes and furniture everywhere I was pissed and then kept getting calls from my mom telling me what I SHOULD be doing in MY LIFE and it was just sooo much stress and anger and I just broke down crying. Glad dh was on the phone to lift me up and made me feel strong again. It's a brand new me today and I am seriously going to have a stern talk with my MIL because my house looks like a storage unit or a hoarder house now and I dont even feel like this is my home and I just feel dirty walking through all this crap. ugggghhhhhhhhh Hopefully today is a better day.

the hematologist just called and asked have i ever had any scans and at first i said no but then i remembered i had u/s so i said wait are we talking about any scan and she said yes like u/s etc and i said yes earlier this year and she said that they are going to need those documents faxed over to them so now im on the phone trying to get in contact with the referral department and this stupid nurse is giving me a hard time and not listening to what im saying So just had to put her in her place because i really dont have to argue with her. Im glad i got a new primary doctor. Now, im feeling good about tomorrow because they want the scan records so im assuming they want something to compare to which means im one step closer to our rainbow baby

 

[josephine3]

Patrice i hope u get somewhere with all these appointments!
Sorry u had a bad ay.. Remind me again why ur mil is staying and why all the boxes? I remember shes been with u a while.. Ur life is so hectic i find it hard to keep up. I hope ur af goes soon its getting ridiculous!

Ashely - georgia always cries at nap time, when i see her getting tired i wrap her in a blanket and she knows straight away what im up to and starts to cry! She cries for a few minutes while i rock her and shush her then drops off. It doesnt take long but its a bit of a faff to keep doing it 5 or so times a day. Id like her to learn to self settle in the day. Shes always been great at it at night until now.

well currently MIL lost her house they said they auctioned it and so she was moving in with me until she get on her feet but her lawyer told her not to get out that house because they are going to look into it because they think it was a scam. So she has just been moving stuff in but never actually came and stayed here.

Make sure to keepus posted for ur appt.

 

[mzswizz]

sarina- will do...excited that its in a matter of hours

 

[sg0720]

I believe it. I miss TTC sometimes but I.think if its meant to happen.sooner or later its gona happen

 

[Blondiejay]

Hi ladies,
Sorry to hear about your auntie Ashley.
Hope everyone else is well.
We have been lovin having Darcy home with us and just stare at her for hours! the first couple of nights she was feeding every hour and wasn't latching properly so now my nipples got a little sore. Darcy prefers to sleep on us we have found and struggles to settle on her own. Last night she fell asleep on my chest and i had to wake her for her feed! Then my oh had her on his chest. We are going to try and put her in the Moses basket as much as possible today to sleep.
I'll post some pics soon.

Great bump pic by the way!!

sarina-im with you on that. I miss ttc but at the same time im with the if it happens, it happens thought. Right now, atleast we get a half the year break from ttc because we been working hard for 2 years almost 3 years with no rainbow baby so i think the break is a great idea so both our bodies can relax and we can focus on each other for right now.

susi-hope darcy will be able to rest in her basket so you two can get your sleep.

AFM, im cd13 today and AF has finally left the building today. So pretty much 12 days of bleeding. Well, it wasnt THAT bad compared to regular bleeding in which i bled for 2 or more weeks. Well, I only have 3 more pills left for month 1 pack Time is really flying. My midwife had gave me 2 packs so I wont need a refill until around January. So im good to go. My doc appt is in a couple hours I have also researched about extended AFs during the first month of using Lo Loestrin Fe and to my surprise....its actually normal. When having a long AF while on this BC, they call it a breakthrough bleed. And most women who talked to their docs about the bleeding were told to wait 3 months...so just give it time. So that put my mind to ease that its normal to have a long AF the first month of using it. Im just glad i wasnt like most of those women who bled for months Hoping my next AF is shorter and much better than this 1st one. But we shall see. My birthday is in 23 more days and DH will be home in 16 more days I know this time will fly by. Im hoping that while he is here..I have some doc appts so he can come with me and be there to see what I've been going through to get things done and just be there as my support system Will update about the docs when I get home.

 

[AC1987]

Jo, aww well hopefully Georgia will soon like sleeping better

Susi, I remember when Cassidy would only sleep on me or right next to me on the bed sometimes I miss it when she was that young but I can still remember being VERY sleep deprieved so I don't miss it that much

Patrice, aww I don't like cluttery stuff either I think that'd drive me crazy..
Hope your appt goes well

AFM 5 days til Cassidys pediatrician appt, shes gonna be getting 3 needles I think makes me soooooo sad to see her get them.
3 weeks and my mom is gone... I'm gonna miss her Its been really great having her here, my DH is away in Connecticut on a work conference for a few days, first time I've been apart from him since before marriage
AHHH!! I miss ttcing.. I miss taking pregnancy tests alllll of it!! Well minus the disappointments of negative tests but still. Its gonna be great to start trying again

 

[mzswizz]

hematologist appt: well it went pretty good. The doc is amazing and my platelets level is a little high still but its due to heavy bleeding AFs. He said once it reaches the 600s and up then it is known as a problem but he said it is common for it to be a little higher than the normal because i have heavy bleeding. He told me to continue doing scans etc with my ob/gyn and keep taking the birth control to fix the heavy bleeding problem and everything will be fine My next appt with him is on jan. 2nd Also, he said im not at any risk and im very healthy and he didnt want to do any scans because they weren't going to be necessary so thats good and he also said he didnt want to do the scans since it wasnt necessary and he dont want to put me at a high risk for breast cancer by doing scans when he knows for a fact that the level being a little high is based on my heavy bleeding. So good looking out doc

 

[Blondiejay]

Patrice, I hope all went well at the doctors.

Ashley, Do you think you'll start TTC again soon?

Darcy has been really good today and has been leaving it a bit longer between feeds. I had a bit of a wobble earlier as I feel so weak and breathless still. It was such an effort even blow drying my hair. I feel so useless and just want to get stuff done around the flat! My oh has been amazing and gave me a big hug and said he doesn't mind doing everything and I need to get my strength back.

definitely take him up on all his offers to help! Try to rest i was like u i wanted to get it all sorted but wish id just relaxed a bit more the first few weeks.

I too miss the early days like ashley, but im nowhere near ready to ttc again i have to persuade my oh to use protection! Its really strange but soooo not ready yet!

 

[Blondiejay]

I don't even want to think about another one just yet, I know some women want another as soon as they give birth but I'll give it a while yet!
