Looking for official TTC buddies!!

Btw, can I just say I hate fb sometimes? I love having You (Steph) and Laura on there, somehting positive and lovely, I have family there too (nuff said, right? lol) and man they fight! Long winded curse word type fighting :roll: Glad they live the land of far-far away :rofl:

You know, it's funny, I haven't told any of my family that we are pregnant this time. I am really just enjoying the positive knowledge with you all :hugs: :friends: Thanks ladies!

Haha, yeah... I hate fb sometimes for the same reasons. So besides seeing your fam on fb, do you generally not have contact with them? I would stay away from all the negativity too, and makes sense why you haven't told them yet that you're pregnant.
 
If there were a way to hide my bump, I probably wouldn't have told any of my family yet either!! :rofl: But unlike you, I don't live far away from them!
 
My family lives in Alaska :thumbup: lol. Some of dh's family lives in Cali and Northern Idaho...so it's "just us" :)

AFM= Today I had a cool experience...my attorney called and I missed his call :shrug: then he was frantically emailing me telling me there's another specific we need to do, I need to sign, deadlines, etc etc.. it was soooo satisying to tell him that I already did it - this morning :rofl: lol. He was a bit taken aback--then I reminded him of our next deadline and court date to prepare for :haha: Feels good to be a step ahead :roll: lol
 
Hmm. Chicken with baked squash , broccoli, and rice tonight. Kids surprised me by begging for more vegetables :saywhat: Little weirdo's :roll: lol!

Today was nice- breezy, warm, not overly sunny...dh started today teaching the girls Kendo and a few kata...It was cute watching them :) I will try to post a pic later.

psh, thanks Coy! LOL
 
I'm back from my mini vaca to Oklahoma. I tell ya, Utah is A LOT prettier. LOL
 
i have alot of catching up to do....

AFM, im on cd9 and my temp is 97.61. I'm still experiencing spotting so it looks like AF might end soon. I haven't been on because DH and I have been pretty busy. We took the ASVAB yesterday and we both passed :happydance: Now, decisions have been changed and made. As far as the Army goes.....we are NOT going to the Army. But as far as the military goes...we've decided completely to go forward with.........the NAVY. The Navy is the type of military branch that we want to be in. You get to travel, the benefits are MUCH better, when it comes to pregnancy...they make sure everything goes well with the pregnancy and they take care of the women, pregnant women WILL NOT be on a ship if they are pregnant even if they are only 6 weeks pregnant :thumbup:, they have the Buddy Program which is a program that the government created for only 2 people to be able to be stationed together. For example, husband and wife, sibling with sibling, best friend with best friend. Which is pretty good. As far as deployment, dh and i cant be on the same ship because of what happens in the early 1900s when the Navy first was created. They dont want the whole family on the ship just in case, God forbid, if something happened to the ship..the entire family wont be gone and the legacy will be able to continue on. So we both will be assigned to ships but will only be on the ship for deployment and drills. Deployment wise, we will not be stuck at sea for months without seeing land. They are in the water for 2-3 weeks and they stop at different locations on the way to the destination and have 4-5 days off where we can just visit the location and the days off dont come from our vacation time which is good :thumbup: They also said if either of us are deployed, we can call each other when we go to a location, say where we at and we can fly out and be with each other so thats pretty awesome :thumbup: All of our questions were answered and there was no gray areas compared to the Army and we DONT have to worry about combatitive jobs etc because the Navy Seals etc are the combatitive ones. We WILL be able to see each other during basic training, just wont be able to sleep in the same bed. The only time we will be away from each other is when we do job training and deployment. But even if he deploys i can still take some time off and go vacation the location with him so its a win/win for us. I've talked to my friend in the Navy and she is happy. She said we would love it and she has enlisted for 8 years :shock: So i know she loves it. The pay is MUCH BETTER than the Army and they have great careers. Basic Training will NOT be 99% hard fitness work because the Navy isnt combatitive. They are mostly in classroom training with a small percentage of working out to stay fit of course and swimming. Which i feel is better. And they said they dont yell and be all in your face like the Army because they feel that wont help you push yourself. Everything is pretty much what works for us and they work with you so its great. From hearing Navy stories, you would think they are terrible but actually talking to people and especially our family currently in the Navy, its not bad at all. Oh and for sea sickness..they give you meds because everyone will get sea sick the first time around so atleast i know just in case. So yes the Navy is where we are heading. We are already doing the paperwork for the background check so we can push forward with the medical/physical. One we pass background check and the physical which is a normal physical check up..we decide our job and then decide how soon we want to leave and then receive the date we will leave out to basic training etc. So we are excited about this new journey. For now, we are putting ttc on hold until we get in and stationed and then ttc because we want to be situated first. But we still will go to the doc on July 23rd to figure out everything and then we wait which I have no problem doing. Im ready to travel the world with my DH and start our careers and family!!! :happydance:

psh, thanks Coy! LOL

Lol, I didn't forget you :haha: My baby brain lately :nope: --you are an awesome fb'er, never anything cruel or hateful :hugs: How's your little one doing? Poor baby with his ears...When I was 5 years old I kept telling my mom my ears hurt and she got angry at me and snapped "go lay down then!" :growlmad: When my dad noticed the blood running down my neck from my ears he flipped out! I am lucky I can hear today but I do have inner ear problems, e.g. dizziness under water, etc.

How's the ttc going? And I bet UT is prettier! Much more green :thumbup: Glad to have you back on here we missed you!
 
Ok, the previous post indicated my issue with baby brain. It is now much worse than I originally thought :coffee:.

Tonight my 3 year old pluncked down on the couch next to me and showed me the "pictures" she'd been coloring. I imediately grabbed the book and the pencil away from her and exclaimed "Oh, honey, you know you're not supposed to draw or color in your books!!!" And I proceeded to frantically try to "save" the book by erasing the colors and pencil markings. My 7 year old stood quietly next to me and finally asked quizzically "Mama...whatcha doing?" So I said "I am TRYING to fix this book your sister's been ruining!":growlmad: To which Teagen slowly responded, "....But...it's a coloring book..."

:dohh: :dohh: :nope: :dohh: :cry: :dohh: :nope: :dohh: :nope: :dohh: :dohh:

I really don't feel like getting into the potty chair story. Yeah. The one where I forgot to assemble it before my 3 year old used it :nope: :nope:
 
K, so, does my butt look bigger to you?

Lol! :haha:

So, I ask this because last night I was in bed fast asleep when something woke me. I lay very still listening thinking one of the girls may be calling me or something, right? Then I feel it...dh is squeezing my butt. :shrug: I'm thinking wth? So then he quits. I start to drift off, and he starts squeezing my butt again. So then he starts to pat it...:shrug: Then he squeezes it again and pats it some more and finally I push his hand away, sit up and demand "What are you doing?" He freezes, still half asleep, then rolls over and mumbles sleepily "Sorry ... I was looking for my big fluffy pillow..." and falls asleep :roll:

:roll:

Really? My a@! feels like a big fluffy pillow? :growlmad: -With all the squats and lunges I been doing? ](*,) So I made myself feel better by eating 2 bowls of chocolate covered ice cream. :haha:
 
Hello friendz......yesterday had sudden cramps.....I guess I am ovulating......cramps started from morning....I started panicking.....we are traveling.....my cycles have become back to 32 days......couldn't use opk.....somehow did BD.....at night.....today also I have feeling terrible....having cramps....and sick......today checked temp.....96.85......my temps are going up..........oh.....m so not feeling good......why couldn't it wait for 2 days....it's raining terrible here ......grandmom's very happy seeing us all......ok then ....will catch you all up on Sunday morning.......hope all of you are doing good...
 
Coy - I know you get hung up some times re your figure but that really is so funny!! I'm sure your butt feels nothing like a pillow!! What did DH say about it in the morning?! Love your baby brain moment as well, I put my deodorant on twice this morning!! Better than not at all I guess!!

Patrice - another bomb shell!! I don't know a lot about the navy to be honest but sounds like you've done your research & it's good to have personal accounts from friends. Does this mean you've stopped TTC as of now?

Steph - how you doing? Can I ask a question re cervical mucus. I've had loads throughout my whole pregnancy, and have worked my way up to pretty thick panty liners. I'm still feeling really really wet though. Even at the side of my knickers. I've just been putting it down to being more sweaty down there now & although the cervical mucus is very thin now it's a bit sticky so I've assumed it is just cm. Are you suffering from this?? I'm starting to wonder if I should be concerned that it's actual my waters leaking?

Sorry I've not been on for a few days had anti natal class wednesday night & it was my sisters birthday yesterday. We surprised her by waiting for her outside her college with a birthday balloon!! Then spent the evening with her.

I love my team at work, they have made all the stress & hard work worth it by telling my boss how much they respect they have for me & are going to miss me & getting defensive on my behalf as they thought my replacement was questioning my process (she wasn't, but bless them for been protective of me!!) they are without question who I will miss the most when I leave. Only 4 & a half days to go!!
 
Shradha - hope you have a good few days today. Good job on squeezing in some BD. Your cramps sound a little severe to be o cramps. Mine would just be a stabbing feeling lasting a couple of minutes. Is it possible you've got a stomach bug?
 
Coy-:rofl: the coloring book incident sounds pretty funny. Sounds like something my niece and my sister will do :haha: And believe me when i say this...dh uses my butt as a pillow because he has said on many occasions that its big and fluffy and even my mom agreed with him :rofl:

Laura-Yes we've talked to my friend and our family members who are currently enlisted to see what they thought etc. Also, yes ttc is on hold until after we get settled in. I cant be pregnant before i go into basic training or i wont be able to do it. So we have to wait it out a little. But i think it would be no problem because once we are stationed and have a schedule working out for us..we can then plan for a baby whenever we want and seeing that we will have free healthcare..we are set! So a little waiting wont hurt because its going to benefit in the long run.

Shadra-Im with Laura..are you sure its not a stomach bug. Whenever i got o cramps..they come and go and was like a quick sharp pain then went away.

AFM, today is cd10 and the spotting is gone so AF has left the building on cd9. Well at least i only spotted for 2 days and it only lasted 9 days this time :thumbup: Also, I've noticed my temps are in between both of my previous cycles' ranges so I don't know what to expect this time. But im thinking im going to ovulate because my temps are a little higher than last cycle's temps :thumbup: Well, right now, we've just been busy trying to get all the info from our family so we can fill it out in our paperwork. We've been pretty tired lately and this is the first cycle where we havent really been dtd because we've just been so busy. Also, now our nephew will be graduating high school in a few weeks and now he has decided to join the Navy too. But we kept telling him that he may not be stationed with us and just because he is our nephew doesn't really hold any significance. But he still wants to do it so we are supporting him and his mom (my SIL) is happy of his decision because she wants him to become independent and a man. Now, in order to make a decision for the Navy, we've talked to my friend Jeyvis who is currently enlisted and my dh's cousin who is going to retire in January after serving 20+ years in the Navy and also my godbrother who is currently enlisted and wants to retire in the Navy. We've talked to all and told them the things the recruiters said to see if they agree or they disagree. Majority of the things were accurate and they said training may be changed to 13 weeks now but they are not sure but if they said 8 weeks then its probably still 8 weeks and 13 weeks wont take effect until the following year. So we are pretty confident and all of them want to stay in there so that must mean something. We heard from all 3 different lifestyles how the Navy is. My friend is single, my godbrother is married with no kids and dh's cousin is married with 3 children. So if they can do it, we know we can :thumbup: The days are starting to move faster which is good because then i get to see my ob/gyn and figure everything out before we do leave for training but that's if we arent set to leave before then. But we shall see. If i cant get it done..then i will tell him my situation so he can put in notes for my next ob/gyn to do it. So everything will work out for us :thumbup:
 
Hi ladies!

Shradha- I am trying to figure out why you would suffer sych bad and prolonged cramping...is this normal per your cycle? If not then I think Laura and Patrice are correct and maybe you ate something disagreeable or picked up a bug. Don't discount stress either- I know that can mess up my system as well sometimes :( Hope you feel better soon! Btw- if it is Ov then you timed your bd perfectly! :thumbup: And barring any hostile cm it can live up to 5 days :) GL and keep us posted! "See ya" Sunday if not sooner :)

Laura- thanks! I try not to get too hhung up on my body weight but it can be difficult as dh and I both are very physical and competative and driven...now being prego (and all the times previous) it is amazing to me how baby takes over. My doc explained it as a womans body reacts to hormones the way it will- and in light of the fact that I am active and eat healthy he said there's "not a damn thing I can do" to keep from gaining weight lol! :haha: It just took me awhile to decide wehter I wanted to laugh at dh's pillow comments or get angry. I decided to shrug it off :shrug: Btw- he didn't remember saying it (yeah right) lol...
I am so glad that your team defended you! They love you and obviously you're a good boss and they hate to see you go. I am sure that they are suspicious of the "new girl" and don't want her hogging in to your spot!

Patrice- I must have missed a post somewhere...so you're thinking maybe the Navy now? My dad was in the Navy but this was back during the Vietnam period. He ended up transferring to SeaBees and working witht he Marines :shrug: But it gave him a great education :thumbup: Good opportunities!

Steph- how are you today? How's the sunburn??
Ashley- how are you?
 
AFM- woke up to a power outage this morning so jumped in the shower before the water could get cold. The girls are scheduled for immunizations today "tentatively" as I can't get through to the clinic. And it is pouring rain out :growlmad: I was hoping for a sunny day for them. Dh isn't feeling well either and I want him to go along for them so we'll have to see how thing's progress :shrug:

Laura- I forgot to mention, if you are worried about the cm I would talk to your midwife or doc just to be on the safe side. I know losing too much amniotic fluid is dangerous for baby so they'd probably do an u/s to measure how much fluid is int here. They had to do that with my second dd as she was so overdue. I never had too much leakage though..
