light hearted ttc

I'm the same Ashley, I think it's ok, she would scream of she was uncomfortable!
Darcy slept 8 hours again last night, I gave her a boob and she slept for another 2 hours. I've decided I'm only going to breastfeed first thing in the morning and last thing at night then give her her bottle after as usual. I'm currently leaking loads as I type, haha.
Darcy is so much fun at the moment, she constantly want to sit up and see what's going on bless her. We got her a door bouncer but she didn't like it too much. She is still a lote young for it as she can't sit up herself and her head is a still a little floppy.
Boxxey, how are you getting on? Any niggles?

lost more of my plug have been all week get some painful contractions but no pattern, my feet and legs are sooooo swollen its terrible, my lower back is awful

 

[Blondiejay]

Aww Hun, that's no fun at all. I didn't lose my plug until my waters went at the hospital.

I remember when I lost my plug it was a day before I went into active labour, but I read you can lose your plug up to two weeks before giving birth so I didn't really pay attention.

So I had plans to make bailey filled cupcakes for St Patricks day, only didn't get around to getting the ingredients booo!!

So tonight was the first night we left Cassidy with my in laws, well to put her to bed as we were going out to a friends party.
At first I wanted to wait to go til after we got cassidy to bed, but that got shot down by both my dh and in laws grrr. So I said fine we can leave a little earlier.
Anyways we get home and I ask my MIL how she was and her responce "Oh fine fine we kept her up til 7(btw her bedtime is 630) and she made a few noises but went to bed" which im thinking mmhmm but ok. so then I go in the room and I hear her telling my DH "She kept crying and crying and wouldnt stop so we made her a bottle(I already had MORE then enough milk for her in the fridge)but she didnt want it so we left it in the fridge, give it to her later tonight(uhh no way, as they have horrible food preparation skills)."
So my hubby comes into the room and is like "Apparently Cassidy had a nightmare" so im like "Oh thats funny I was told she was fine"
Then hes all like "They made her a bottle so you can give it to her later" and I'm like "I'll feed her if she needs to be fed"

So I'll probably dump it tomorrow. My MIL was pissed that I didn't give her the "baby food" she made for cassidy, but I just have this thing with the way she prepares food. Like I'm picky on how food is prepared. First I personally am waiting til Cassidy is about 9 months before feeding her meat, but MIL cooks vegetables with meat, either the night before or in the morning and its sitting out room temparature, and then in the afternoon she expects me to feed it to her. so she took over feeding cassidy this afternoon and is like "Poor baby you coulda had chicken and my food, but you're getting this" while she looks with disgust at the food I had brought for cassidy.

GAH in laws.

Happy St. Patrick's day ladies from Zachary!





How is everyone doing? I have been so busy with Zachary and studying for my exam. I brought lo to my mom's house today for a visit, and she pointed out how the sides of his head is flat and that he needs to lay on the back of his head more. I guess I need to change that now before he gets any bigger. I dont want to ruin the shape of his head. I havent read much of the older posts but I think Christie still hasnt given birth yet. Only a few more days Christie! This little guy is stubborn isnt he?

 

[boxxey]

[AC1987]

AFM, Sunday starts month 3 of my BCPs and then after that....no more BCPs!! My family keeps telling me that they think I would conceive not long after I stop taking BCPs which I hope is true. By the time I stop taking the pills..I should be with DH and we should be settled in our new place at his permanent duty station. He doesn't know where he would be stationed as of right now so we are just waiting. Next month, he graduates from his "A" school so Im excited. Ummm about ttc wise.. I don't know what cd I am on currently but I have been having on and off spotting so Im pretty sure AF is on her way soon enough. Which will mean my AF is regulated because AF will show the 4th week of the BCPs like it suppose to. So looks like I will be going back to a 28 day cycle...well fxed I am. So thats my update.

 

[AC1987]

Awww yaayy patrice!! good luck ttc!! how exciting I bet you cant wait to see your DH again

 

[boxxey]

so went to the drs today, if baby isnt here by fri im being induced at 8am friday morning due to high blood pressure and lits of swelling

 

[AC1987]

Ooohh thats tomorrow!1 How exciting!

AHhhh!! Cassidy has learned how to scoot forward now.. not quite crawl but boy can she get to somewhere she wants to go. And now EVERYTHING is going into the mouth. Constantly having to watch her as she picks dirt off the floor to eat yuck!! And lately has been trying to suck on my slippers ewww!

I'm dying to ttc again!! grrr! But we still haven't talked with our insurance agent.. so I might see if I can get my DH to agree that we'll try for another once Cassidy hits one years old

 

[boxxey]

im getting nervous that when I get there they will tell me they are to busy and send me home, I just want this to be over I cant handle the pain anymore

 

[hello_kitty]

Ashley - I cant wait to conceive again either! I would do it right this moment, but I really want to wait til next so since dh and I are planning a big trip with Zachary so he can visit his grandparents. Our trip would be doomed if I were to have a newborn or heavily pregnant. I wish I have a girl next! All the beautiful clothes!

Christie - Still no baby yet? You are due in 4 days, this baby sure is stubborn. He loves it in there, but I can imagine how painful it is. Hope everything works out for you.

 

[josephine3]

Oohh wow good luck for the induction tomorrow boxxey! I was just thinking i must have missed the birth announcement!

 

[boxxey]

no no he is still in there hanging on till the last moment lol, but I will post as soon as he is born and as soon as I am home

 

[AC1987]

With my next baby I would be happy either way for boy or girl I know with this one I was really hoping for a girl

Christie good luck today!!

 

[Blondiejay]

Good luck Boxxey!!!

I had my first melt down today since Darcy was tiny. We were at my friends babies 1sr bday party. Darcy wouldn't stop crying as if she was in such pain, nothing I was doing was calming her down and seeing her so distressed really upset me. My friend took her,handed me a glass of wine and told me to have time out. Within minutes she was fast asleep!! She had a snooze and was the life and soul of the party after!

 

[AC1987]

awwww Its upsetting when LO's are crying alot isn't it? I remember when we had to go to a christmas party back in Dec, and I already said that it was too late of night for cassidy because she was on a schedule alraedy but no one would listen because they wanted to see her, she cried SO loudly when we got there. My MIL was like "I'm gonna go sit out in the car with her" (it was below freezing) so I'm like no and when I was finally allowed to take her again (everyone else wanted to see if they could calm her down ) I was allowed to and what she wanted was just to be left alone on the couch then she dozed a bit.

Now I always plan around her schedule because I dont want that to happen again.

But I'm glad someone could help out!!
