light hearted ttc

[AC1987]

After I had Cassidy the first 3 days I wanted to go back in time and be pregnant again cause I just didnt feel ready. Then I remember bawling my eyes out wishing I was back at the hospital cause it felt like I got so much help there with like everything.

Susi, we really cant afford it just yet, I'm hoping we get maternity insurance first, apparently it takes 6 months of paying til we actually have it so my goal is to have another baby around the time that Cassidy is a year and a half.. I'm just hoping no other surprise bills come along.

Jo, aww well no rush take your time enjoy Georgia

Patrice, so whats next for you and your appointments? Do you now just wait for the bc to end? And when does your DH come back home for good? Are you working again?

Hayley I miss your posts where are you??

Georgia has injections today these should be the last set till shes 1 tho so thats good.

I do miss the whole saga of ttc like u tho ashley! In some ways i cant wait to be pregnant again its such an amazing feeling. But on the other hand i want my body back for a while first!

Ashley-i still got more appts before the bcps end and dh isnt coming home for good because he in the military and he thinking about making it a career so I will be moving wherever he is stationed. And no im not working because im waiting for dh to be stationed.

Susi-Darcy is sooo adorable and love her eyes.

AFM, im on cd14 today and went to my ob/gyn appt today. I had my annual pap smear and talked about the effects of birth control and everything. She wants me to come back in March. She wants me to wait until month 4 to see if my AF is going to regulate to showing up on week 4 of the BC each month. So im hoping that my AFs regulate to showing up on week 4 because if it does..that mean im going back to a 28 day cycle I had some spotting after the pap smear which is normal but now im having sharp, shooting pains through my back So now I got an appt in january for the hematologist, appt in february for my primary care doctor, and appt in march for the ob/gyn And then in April...i will be off of the BC

Susi - Darcy is so cute!

Ashley - I really thought about having Zachary sleep with us on our bed but husband is totally against it because he's afraid I am going to squish him. Not even during nap time. The doctors and nurses literally inscribed it in our head to not let him sleep with us.

Regarding the ttc, our plan was to wait until Zachary is 6 months old before becoming pregnant again, we were just going to let nature play its course as soon as I was ready to dtd again, but now we have decided to wait until Zachary is around a year old. We want to take a trip back to our country to visit husband's parents, and didnt feel it was safe to take Zachary until he is at least a year old, and I sure dont want to have another infant or be pregnant by then so one year it is.

Wow shes beautiful susi! Such lovely big eyes.. Where are u and oh from? Darcy has that lovely look of having mixed backgrounds and u mentioned visiting relatives?

 

[josephine3]

Oh now that i re-read i see u said 'our country' sorry..i hope i didnt offend u i just thought maybe ur not british or american? Im probably wrong. I'll shuttup.

 

[Blondiejay]

Not at all!!! I'm English with a little Scottish in me and my oh was born in Jersey but raised in Ireland (his dad is Irish).
Everyone says she has my eyes and lips. I'll get a photo taken of me and Darcy soon.

 

[AC1987]

awww!! shes soooo cute!!

Susi, yeah at first the docs and everyone said no, but then once they saw how shattered I was when I had to watch her alone they said to let her sleep with me but send dh to the couch as guys are less aware of babies, trust me you wont sleep... soundly with her in bed, its more of a small cat nap, but its up to you

 

[boxxey]

oh my Darcy is just soooooo beautiful wow I cant wait till my wee one is here

 

[mzswizz]

AFM, im on cd15 and tomorrow marks the end of month 1 of the BCPs. Currently, im on the "reminder pills" which are the non hormonal pills. Im hoping by next month my cycle becomes regulated or atleast to being close to being regulated. DH will be home in 13 days Cant wait! I have been cleaning what I can. Not much to report here now.

Susi- beautiful baby.

Patrice- u have found a good batch of doctors! Looking forward to ur NGO!!

Ladies before we know it ur babies will be crawling walking talking its amazing how fast time is going

Afm- CD2 and I may have a stomach bug. All day yesterday before AF arrived I was feeling really sick to my stomach and I told my oh I felt like I was going to throw up. And he thought Mayb I was just hungry sowe got some food since we were out shopping and as ii was eating that I started feeling more sick n had to stop. My oh made some popcorn and somethi else and the smell of that was making me more sick I had to leave the room Later that night I ended up waking him up and I tried making it to the bathroom from out room and ended up throwing up all over the floor. I am having such bad back pains and some abdominal pain..doesn't feel like cramps. Hope this goes away soon I have work tomorrow

 

[AC1987]

Cassidys pediatrician appt is today.. hopefully she won't be too sad about the shots she'll get.

AFM I'm TIRED!! I keep waking up at 4am EVERY day whether shes up or not and then I just can't fall back asleep

 

[boxxey]

[mzswizz]

ashley-hope you get some sleep.

boxxey-nice bump pic

 

[josephine3]

Hope u feel better soon sarina... Ashley hope u can get some sleep soon...

So the other night i left lo with oh for the first time so i could go to my works xmas meal just for a couple of hours (i had to leave with my dessert in a foil parcel lol so i could be back to feed her) and it did not go at all well.. I got back and i dont know which one of them looked more upset ! Georgia had little tears in her eyes awwww ... Apparently she cried the entire time. Despite me leaving him a detailed routine to follow.. He said i should have just wrote 'georgia cried' next to every time on the list. Oh dear.

 

[sg0720]

Awww Jo I think that's normal that she wants mama. Aww poor dad he will have his turn when she will want him more then mom

How was cassidys appt? Could ur oh watch for for a few hrs while u get a quick nap in the afternoon?

And how was the gtt?

 

[AC1987]

Cassidys appt went alright, shes up to 13 pounds now, so not gaining as fast as she was but still gaining The pediatrician gave the ok to start on solids now my baby is growing up!! it was soooo sad watching her get her needles though

Yeah my DH is kinda helpless watching her too, hes good for maybe 10 mins then hes had enough

 

[mzswizz]

Well seems like once i get my own LO im going to put LO off on dh as much as possible just to get adjusted between mommy and daddy. I hope that works. But i was the same way when I was a baby. My parents showed me footage of when I was a baby. I would always cry when my mom held me but would be okay when my dad had me I guess that would explain why im such a daddy's girl

AFM, im on cd19 today and it seems like my cycle is going by pretty quickly. Also speaking of time going by...cant believe dh will be here next friday Im super excited. Yesterday, I decided to treat myself and so i did my hair and DH loves it. I always wanted to go to a salon and get it done but its hard to find someone who you can trust with your hair so I just been doing my own hair since I was 16. Now back to my cycle The midwife had told me I suppose to get AF on the 4th week of the BCPs. Which means now im going from a 35+ cycle to a 28 day or less cycle I think thats pretty good because that will increase our chances more seeing that I will be able to go through my cycles which means more tries compared to now where my cycle is sooooo long that I get less chances. Also, im almost at the point where I have only 3 more months left to go I will be off the bc in no time so im happy about that. Im hoping we can immediately start ttc after i stop the bcp but if we cant...then i guess a little longer wait. I dont mind waiting right now because right now dh and I are not living together and he is going through the process of changing his job so i want to wait until he gets stationed before we ttc. So atleast we are together and dont have to worry about catching ovulation during a trip or anything. Well in 17 more days...it will be my birthday Im turning 23 on the 28th so I cant wait. Well thats all for now.

Hi ladies! Hope everyone is doing well. Zachary came home yesterday afternoon. The doctor told us to come in before noon and we didnt get out the door until closer to 2pm. Thankfully traffic wasnt that bad but he was pretty tired when we got home. I had to wake him for his feeding but after that he was back to his old self demanding to be fed every 3-4 hours. Last night was a little exhausting because he's like a human alarm clock waking me up in the middle of sleep to feed and change him. Thankfully my husband was awake until 4 am. I only had to go solo for his 7 am feeding. Now he is sleeping in his swing. He loves the swing!
