light hearted ttc

Boxxey glad you had a wonderful baby shower. I hope everything goes well for you at the doctor's and lovely bump pic. I didnt get a baby shower (since I had my baby at 32 weeks) so we didnt get any gifts but had a welcome baby home party and received mostly cash.

For valentines day, my dh sneaked out before me and Zachary woke up and went to buy lovely gifts for me. He got me a lovely bouquet of mixed flowers, a box of chocolates, card, and 2 very cute tops for my wardrobe.

My poor Zachary has a raspy voice that started on Friday, I dont know if I should let it go away on its own or call the pediatrician tomorrow. My siblings were here 2 weeks ago and spread their cold to me, which I think I passed on to Zachary. He has a little cough, but thats about it.

Does anyone get a little sad that their baby is growing up so fast? Zachary started out wearing preemie clothes and outgrew them before we left the hospital. He outgrew newborn clothes awhile back, and now is in 0-3 month clothing. I'm glad he's growing but its also sad. I was watching some videos of him in his monkey footed pjs and felt so sad that he outgrew them. He looked so tiny and cute in them!
 
Great bump pic Boxxey and glad you had a nice baby shower.

Lily, sounds like you got spoilt for Valentines Day! Sorry to hear Zachary is poorly, hope he makes a speedy recovery.
I'm getting sad that Darcy is growing so fast, I just want to press pause for a bit. She can still fit in the tshirt babygros that she has had since birth but she is growing out of all the long arm/leg babygros quickly.

Darcy is doing quite well in her cot. I've been putting her in it for her morning nap an she has lasted 45 minutes max at the moment, but at least it's a start. She just loved her cot mobile and just lays there chatting to it!
 
Thanks Susi. Called the pedi's office today and the medical assistant think he just has a cold and that it will pass. I just need to watch out for other symptoms. I am so paranoid that Zachary is so clingy towards me. He would wake up 5 minutes later after I put him to sleep if I'm not there holding him. On a positive note, I got him weighed and he weighs 12 lbs today! Yay!
 
Aww I hope he feels better soon. The one thing that has made Darcyva bit more independent is her cot mobile, have you got one? That got her used to not being held all the time, now she sits in her chair and lays on her mat.
 
awww thats great you had a good baby shower boxxy! :)

lily, how nice to be spoiled, though I can't imagine my DH buying me clothes!! I'm actually scared to think of what he might get :baby:
I hope zachary feels better!

well so far cassidy is doing ok, she napped great yesterday but was still fussy all day :wacko: so maybe it is just her teeth? I need to try to look at her gums to see if any teeth are comiing through.

Susi how old is your LO now?

Cassidy is now 6 and a half months... now I know all babies are different but I am curious to know about things your babies can do now :haha:
Cassidy can roll super fast now all the way accross the room and repeatedly into the wall while crying because she can't go any further.. which I find funny but I still hafta keep moving her, she no longer is that cuddly.. but thats ok :flower: She can sit unsupported for long periods of time now :dohh: slow down baby!! and now likes to hold my hand and take steps all over. eeekk and at times pushes herself into a crawling position which scares me since we still dont have baby gates.
I still find it funny how she tries to latch onto my DH :haha: and then to watch him in embarassment is priceless!!

GAH!! I wanna be pregnant again, well wait I want to do the whole ttcing bit again not taking 6 months but just a couple months of trying will be good enough for me :D my DH agreed with me that we can try again once Cassidy is over a year!! :happydance:

Jo, hows georgia doing?

Patrice where are you and how is things with you, your dh and mil??
 
Susi I have 2 mobiles in there, one on each end. Once he's full, and satisfied at the moment he will be entertained for 20 minutes max and then will start crying once he gets bored. I think he likes his swing better since it has this mirror on the mobile so that he can look at himself. He likes to look at himself and talk. It's cute!

Ashley it must be exciting that Cassidy is getting big! You can do a lot with her now. Zachary is still in the eat and sleep phase. He only stays up 30 minutes at a time sometimes a little longer.

Anyway, I feel a little sad. Everyone in my family has something to look forward to. My mom's family will be going overseas next month for a vacation and then my husband will go overseas 1 month later for my sister in laws wedding. I'm gonna be stuck at home with Zachary for a month and my 2 dogs.
 
Ashley, I could do it all again, I miss my bump! Although I don't want 2 under 2.
Darcy is 11 weeks now, she has been a sleeping machine today, we went out for a nice walk and had lunch with a friend. She was asleep for 4 hours!
 
Sorry Lily I missed your comment. Sounds like he just wants his mummy. I'm trying to make the most of all these cuddles while I can.

Aww don't be sad. Just think it will be spring soon so you'll be able to take Zachary and the dogs out in the sunshine.
 
went to my apt im measuring 42 weeks and im only 35 weeks lol........dr checked me im 2cms already, so we will see what happens, this is my 5th baby so im pretty sure it wont take long
 
Surprise guys, I am pregnant again and have no idea how far along I am. Could be 8 weeks.
 
Boxxey, it could be any day then! Eek good luck!

Wowee Lily!!! Did you plan it this way? Are you happy? My cousin had their babies really close together and they get on so well.

Darcy usually sleeps between 11:30-6ish but for some reason woke up at 3:50am! I managed to settle her with her soother but then our cat Cash thought it was time for us all to get up miaowing so loud and in our faces. She is the noisiest cat I've ever known!
 
Susi it wasn't planned. I seriously don't know how it happened I probably fell pregnant around mid December after my 6 week check up. I am pretty sure since we have sex twice since I gave birth and I had spotting the first week of January which I thought was due to my hormones. I wasn't even planning on testing and thought these wacky symptoms would go away on its own but my instinct told me otherwise. I guess I'll get used to the idea. I called my ob's office and they said im 7 weeks preggers. Waiting for a dating and viability scan now. Although it wasn't planned, I still hope everything is going fine.
 
Oh wow you must have been super fertile! How does your oh feel about it? Wishing you lots of luck. I'm excited for you!
 
Thanks susi he took it easier than I did. He thinks it's no biggie. I cant imagine what it will be like having an 11 month old and a newborn esp when my dh can be unhelpful at times.
 
WOW!!! Big congrats Lily!!! What a shock eh!? I'm a tad jealous :cry:

But I FINALLY got an answer outta my Dh, he says we'll talk to someone about getting maternity insurance and that once Cassidy is over a year we can try!! YAY!! finally a date in mind :haha:

Boxxy any day!! :D how exciting for you :)
 
I woke up at 1 am and was up till 430am contracting every 3-7 mins and now it stopped :( well not completely its every 30 mins or so, I have an ultrasound today to check his size I hope he comes out soon
 
Yay Ashley that's great!! If My oh can get a better paid job we will consider having another one in around a years time.

Yay Boxxey, let us know how you get on. Good luck!
 
ultrasound was good, this baby is measuring 41 weeks on the ultrasound, the lady wouldn't tell me the weight she said I would have to ask my dr, I think about 8lbs, if I go another 4 weeks I will birth out a toddler, im still contracting and am very crampy he better come out soon
