light hearted ttc

Susie - bottle feed as in formula feed? Zachary STILL hasnt had a stinky diaper yet, but he is super gassy. I'm waiting impatiently for him to have a dirty diaper.

Anyway, this is kind of weird but I suddenly feel jealous of the people who are able to get perfects 2's, 2 girls and 2 boys. I am debating on whether to have 3 kid or 4 kids. There times when I am settled with 3 and days where I am determined to have 4. Zachary is only 3 months old, yet I am having a headache on whether to have 3 or 4 kids. How many do you ladies want or already have?

Sorry Susi, I'm just laughing because Cassidy STILL has days like that, however its getting a little better now that shes having solids, but then the smell increases so there really isn't a win win situation when you're dealing with poo, wow... never thought that being a mom I'd spend alot of time talking about poo

Lily, hmm well I know they say after one month sometimes your baby will go a few days without going, but you're saying hes having gas go through, so maybe things are processing slowly? But I would for sure make a phone call to your doc if you're worried or it goes past 6-7 days as I think "by the book" is when they consider constipated, but you know your son the best.
I want 4 kids soooo badly!! But its so freaking expensive over 20,000 for Cassidy so far and STILL the bills of 1000's are coming, stupid insurance man talking us OUT of getting maternity insurance I'm stil upset over it. Like he told us it'd only be 7000 for having a baby and that it'd cover everything so that we're better off not getting maternity, but NOW I really wish we hadn't listened to him. Because we can't even afford for me to get pregnant until we get maternity insurance(which takes 6 months of paying before it kicks in) plus we need to pay down a big chunk of this baby debt

AFM... its my bday!! And cassidy thought "Oh I wanna see mommy at her finest so let me stay up all night"

Lily, yes formula feed. Believe me the poo's are disgusting!!!
I would like 2 children, but I'd like to wait a while until we try again. I'm supposed to be going back to work in August but my oh is going to try and get another job paying more so i dont have to.

Happy birthday Ashley!! What have you got planned got today?

We are going for a nice walk around Hampton Court Palace gardens this afternoon. My parents always used to take me and my brother when we were younger.

happy birthday ashley

Hey ladies..just a quick update. I am currently on new BCPs. She has given me a higher dosage BCP called Generess FE. They stopped the bleeding within2 days of taking them I've been doing pretty good with them so far. DH landed in Pensacola, FL on Friday. And I am going to go see him on Feb. 15th-19th. Im going to drive there by myself. So its going to be a mini road trip and a first for me. Our 7 yr anniversary is on the 18th so atleast we can spend it with each other. He will be in Pensacola for school for 3 months and then we will be moving to his permanent duty station Cant wait for that. Also, I dont know what cd i am on right now Hvent really been keeping track at all because i been pre occupied with everything else. I will be taking the new BCPs for 3 months and then im off of them. And once im off...its ttc time. So im excited. DH is ready and so I am. I just hope it works though.

 

[boxxey]

[mzswizz]

This day is so far SUCKING!! first off I'm really emotional and don't know why. But lets just say theres been alot of tears today. Second Cassidy has been just awful this morning. At first she refused to nap, and then completely messed up her schedule and wants to nap when it was her lunch time so she had a complete meltdown in her highchair like it was as if putting a cat into a highchair. And then I thought oh well mayeb she wants to be fed right away so I tried. Nope def not. So I took her out held her she still screamed, I put her on the floor with her toys, still screamed, didn't stop crying til I put her down in her crib then she fell asleep I'm so frusterared!! so now I dont know if I hafta throw out all the food I made for her or if I should put it in the fridge and try again in an hour, and to top things off her immunization shots are this afternoon.
I just feel like running from the house. But I won't I just am SO stressed out.

 

[josephine3]

Oh dear Ashley. I think we all have those days its so hard to get out the house with Georgia now. It takes so long to pack when i cant leave her cos shes crying! We're like u with the nap schedule if she doesnt have a nap or feed on time it messes up her whole day. Stresses me out and oh just doesnt get it!

I want 2, maybe 3 kids.

 

[AC1987]

It got worse yesterday, she screamed the whole way home from the doctors, and then was just AWFUL for me at home, and my dh is like "Well I need to go into my office" and just goes up leaving me with her to try and calm down. Then hes just like "I have no problems with sticking her in her room and leaving her to cry" I just feel horrible about doing that

And again today I woke her up an hour earlier then her normal waking time in hopes that she'd nap for her usual two hours again nope she slept MAYBE an hour then crying and screaming so I've got her up now. And the pediatrician said its fine giving her baby tylonal only I feel bad about like medicating her when to me it doesnt seem like she needs it.

 

[mzswizz]

Ashley-Hope everything gets better with you.

AFM, im cd23 today and im pretty much spending my day sleeping. I am completely exhausted and i think its because of the BCPs. I will try and get some laundry done and also start sorting through my clothes etc so i can start packing even though I wont be moving until 2-3 months time. Since I wont be here for the 18th, I rescheduled my doc appt for the 25th @ 10:45. Its a doc appt with my primary care doctor. Its just a follow up appt so nothing will really happen there. My hematologist and ob/gyn appt is in March though so we shall see how that goes. Next Friday, I will be on the road. Cant wait.

 

[Blondiejay]

Ashley, sorry you've been having a hard time. How has she been today?
Patrice, hope you get some energy soon! Darcy has been giving me lovely smiles all day. Last night we had such a horrible storm, the wind and rain were battering the window which woke us all up.

 

[hello_kitty]

Happy belated birthday Ashley, I know its a little late. I have been so busy with the little one lately..he is super clingy!

Its been awhile since I am able to go anywhere by myself for more than an hour. Last time I went to the mall to look at some clothes, husband called me one hour later and started yelling at me for taking too long and that Zachary is crying. This morning he was perfectly happy and doing some coos when I was sitting next to him and then the minute I got up, went to the bathroom, put my butt on the toilet, he started screaming..which got my dh screaming for me to hurry up.

I feel so fed up sometimes because most of the time, I am the only one who takes care of him. My husband only changes a diaper here and there. I feel like I dont have a social life anymore. A lot has changed for me but it seems like my husband is still his same old self; going to work, school, doing homework the whole day, playing video games, and getting his sleep. He complains that he is sleep deprived but that is not from having a baby. He is deprived of sleep because he stays up to play video games, go on the internet, or does his homework. I am the one who is sleep deprived from Zachary keeping me up and wont go to bed until sunset.

That is my vent for the day. Had to let it out!

 

[Blondiejay]

Being a mum sure can be exhausting and we need all the help we can get! Are you able to talk to him at all about it?

He wants it the easy way saying just let mimicry it out

 

[boxxey]

I took this a few days ado when I was 33 weeks and 3 days ill be 34 weeks tomorrow, I would like this wee man to be here like now lol

 

[mzswizz]

boxxey-lovely belly shot!

AFM, im on cd29. My cycle is reallyfling by. So far, I have no bleeding whatsoever and I am on week 3 of the BCPs Its another milestone for me because usually I tend to go through the long bleeds during week 2 of the BCPs. So atleast the BCPs are doing something. Hopefully, it makes my body have AF on the last week o the BC but we shall see. I will be leaving to see DH on friday Im excited and cant wait to see him. We already have a few things planned while im up there. As far as me and the MIL goes..we dont really talk. We talk from time to time and thats about it. We really dont get along which I already figured but she knows I am Alpha female in the house so she has to respect me either way it goes. Cant believe in 2 months..I will be done with the BC and also will finally be in the arms of my DH inside our new home at his permanent duty station I cant wait! Hopefully, the reunion brings forth a bfp but we shall wait and see whats in store for us.

 

[AC1987]

Thats for sure being a mom is exhausted, especially with clueless dads I think I've had the wrong impressions on how dads are, my dad was always really involved so have all my parents friends so I thought all dads did half the work in raising babies and kids.
I can't leave my LO with my dh for longer then 10 mins before shes crying. And he'll be outta the room, and then if I complain about how hes not watching her he'll snap at me that he is so And then hes got crazy ideas of how babies should be. Like he wants me to just leave her to cry and not make her stop telling me I'm spoiling her, but I just can't stand to hear her cry and cry. Or he does annoying things like if she fusses a bit at night, he'll turn on the light in her room and pick her up start talking to her so she wakes up fully GAH! Then tells me he doesnt know why she wont sleep.

I don't see myself leaving Cassidy alone with my DH not until shes a toddler at least but even then, he has crazy ideas like let her fall she'll learn or let her hurt herself and she'll learn.. uhh I dont want her sticking her finger into a socket thank you very much.

Theres my vent

 

[Blondiejay]

Patrice, you must be so excited about seeing you dh, only a few more days!

I'm really lucky with my oh, as soon as he gets homes from work i hand Darcy over to him to have daddy/daughter time and to have a bit of me time.

I had Darcy weighed today, she is now 11 pounds at 10 weeks old and is in the 25th percentile. So she is on the up, so happy!!
My oh's dad has paid for us to fly over to Ireland to see his family at the end of next March. We are so excited, Darcy will get to meet her cousin for the first time. We are going for a week so we can fit in seeing friends too.
