light hearted ttc

[mzswizz]

Cramping and tired. Cant wait for these 2 weeks to fly by. Hoping that your DH gets it together before the baby comes

 

[AC1987]

Well my deadline for a name is either end of the month or in feb for sure! atleast I want him to LOOK at my list and give his opinion.

 

[mzswizz]

What dh and i did was come together so we had a single list so at least that means we both agreed on a particular name.

 

[AC1987]

He won't look at names with me, like even last time so its not like we can have a single list sadly... we usually have our own and then try to agree on a couple from each.

I asked him tonight if he wanted to look at names and he flipped out at me asking me "Whats the big deal about names??" well I mean I asked him maybe 3 times but that is because he didn't respond

 

[ricschick]

ac if your not happy then he needs a kick up the arse! he shouldn't be treating you like this! it makes me angry as it takes 2 to make a baby!!!

great news Patrice!!! sounds like all went well!!! I have everything crossed!!!

 

[AC1987]

Well after me going to bed mad and fuming, he finally agreed to talk names with me... we haven't picked any out but we did narrow it down. though he did say alot my names sounded like the name of a cow thankfully not too attached to any names this time LOL

 

[AC1987]

Hope you ladies are doing well today!

I need to remember to write down my questions for my midwife, anytime they ask me how I'm feeling I say fine then get home and remember everything I still don't have answers to.

Not sure if I should be concerned... but I find when I stress my bump starts to hurt, I dont know if I'm just getting that worked up or what, but it won't stop hurting til I calm down

 

[mzswizz]

Ashley-glad you were able to talk names. Also, when my sister stressed while pregnant, her LO would start to kick and move around as if she was telling her to relax and calm down and once she was calm, the baby would stop so maybe your LO is just doing something to get you to relax

Rics-thanks.

Im 1 dpo/dpiui today the tww officially beings. The only time i delt cramping was yesterday when we were heading home and that was from the left ovary side. Im thinking that we caught ovulation just in time because i feel like it may have happened 1 hour after the procedure so if thats true, then we may have caught the egg. Fxed we did. No cramps or spotting today. I cant wait until the 30th to test. Even though, im pretty sure im going to test earlier than that. Also, i have a consultation on february 3rd with the surgeon to check about the whole bulge situation. I was thinking it couldve been another hernia but it has never came back at all. So i have no clue what that was about at all. But all is well over here. Just patiently waiting and going to try not to symptom spot starting around 6dpo. So we shall see.

 

[AC1987]

yay excited to wait this out with you!


This afternoon is not going as how I hoped. Well I mean first I get a call from the hospital, they left a message saying to call back. So I do and its one of those stupid automated message system, then just ended up having to leave a message.
And the only time I can have any time to talk on the phone is when Cassidy is napping because I can't concentrate with her awake. Only now I dont know if they're gonna even call back
Oh well my appt is on the 31st so I imagine if its important they will find a way to contact me.


Also Cassidy isn't napping this afternoon she just is tearing apart her bedding, and then I know if I get her up she will cry the whole day until nighttime.. so I just wish she'd rest.

 

[ricschick]

Patrice just out of interest how far do they put the sperm in? all is sounding promising!!!xxx

 

[mzswizz]

rics-they inseminate the sperm right into the uterus.

 

[AC1987]

bahah poor sperm, only one survives in the end when you get pregnant.. have you ever seen that documentary... the name of if fails me.. but it made me feel so emotional over the sperm that dies off


So I finally heard back, apparently I'm anemic.. so I just hafta take an iron supplement.

 

[magicwhisper]

iron tablets will help you stop feeling tired

i swear bump has grown a little over night, oh reaction to this was "well your stretch marks are a bit deeper" i'm now called a baby tiger

its a good job i love him and the stretch marks dont bother me

i have a migraine, it's horrible

i odviously can't take my migraine tablets for them which sucks

and i was going to get rid of stuff we didnt need on the weekend not happening now . I;m basically just eating because i know i have to eat ... i forgot what it felt like to have to eat when your not hungry

 

[hello_kitty]

Patrice - All of this sounds promising! I have a strong feeling that this will be the month for you!

All of you ladies pregnancies is going so fast. Makes me feel like mine is creeping along very slowly, only 11 weeks today but I keep reminding myself to enjoy every moment of it before baby gets her. I freak out sometimes about the idea of taking care of a 21 month old and a newborn. Hopefully Zachary will behave himself.

As far as names, I suggest that you ladies (especially Ashley) come up with one asap. Dh and I brushed it off until I went into unexpected labor. We decided on the spot about the name Zachary. He did mention the name before and said that he liked it, but I was kind of iffy. We didnt have a middle name in mind though so I just let dh choose a name that came to mind. It wasnt the best name and my family started teasing us about it so when Zachary came home, we had to fill out paper work, pay a fee, and order a new certificate to get his middle name changed. It was a mess. This time around dh already choose a girl's name, Rosalynn and I think Jaedan (I want to spell it that way). I know Rosalynn for sure if its a girl but dont know if we will think of a new boy's name.

 

[AC1987]

I know, I'm afraid of us having to choose last minute... even though I know I still have a ways to go, but you never know what can happen like you said.
So we narrowed it down to 8 boy names and 8 girl names 4 being from his list and 4 from mine.
Then I decided we should give it a break and come back to it so its not too stressful



Zoey, that must be why I feel so awful lately, well tired wise I mean!
Sometimes I fear that I make life with a baby or toddler sound terrible. It really isn't all that bad, I think sometimes I just crave some "me" time.

 

[ricschick]

kitty you will be fine my 2 eldest are 19months apart and yes it is a change but you just get on with it as long as you make sure he is included like helping you with baby then all will be fine.

 

[mzswizz]

ashley-ive actually seen the great sperm race. thought it was pretty cool.

Today im 2dpo/dpiui. DH and I just woke up. Earlier we had to take our friends to the airport which is a 2 hr drive (4 hr round trip drive). Since last night, I have been cramping and having pressure in my uterus. But other than that, nothing new really. Just waiting to test. I have bought a test and will test in 8 days so excited about that.

 

[AC1987]

Ugh. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I will for the moment hafta stop going for all my appts, I dont think my DH wants me to even give birth there Got an insane bill in the mail just for bloodwork, like at the most I thought it'd be $100... but its close to $1k He was so mad over it... well so am I.
I'm just so stressed out over it. And we can't apply for any financial assistance either because I'm here on a green card

 

[mzswizz]

Wow close to $1000 thats crazy. That is an insane bill. Hoping something happens for you.

Im 3dpo/dpiui today. Time seems to be flying by now. I just have to make it through this week and then its testing time. Fxed its a bfp at the end of this cycle but you never know whats in store. So patiently waiting to see what is going to happen. Other than that i have been having the cramping and pressure feeling. And also headaches. But other than that, i am doing good.

 

[magicwhisper]

omg that is awful ashley thats huge!!

i got matt to take bump pictures for me (we dont have a long mirror for me to do it)

he took 2, one of me normal and one of me breathing in the fat

there is a huge difference which i hate

being big because of a bump i love to pieces. the fat one i hate i look huge for the wrong reasons

if you want to see i have put them in my journal
