Hi Patrice.....you are online.....

 

[mzswizz]

afm, been getting dull cramping on and off still. nothing too painful though so thats good.

 

[Grey Eyes]

Hi ladies!

Shradha- strange to see you on here this time of day! Normally I catch you at about 1:30 a.m. my time I have been trying to figure out all our diff times...I think Steph is an hour different than me, Laura is 7 hours ahead of me, Patrice must be on Eastern time,...nice when we can all get on here together though, huh?! How are you feeling today? Your temps are still in the 96.0's how did your opk's look? I know it would be difficult when it's hot as you have to drink so much...but staying hydrarted is infinately more important!

Patrice- Ovulation day today? Hope ya catch this one, they are tricky little buggers!

Steph- glad your appointment went well yesterday and you can (hopefullu) have a stress free couple of weeks before baby!

Laura...7:30 at night there are you out yet? Does your dh work tonight or will be be able to take you home? Make him take you home in the police van with lights on lol

Emma- how are you?

 

[shradha]

Coy and Laura - thank you so much for the support.....

Patrice- all the best for tomorrow ....wow you can swim......that's one thing that I can't....... I am afraid of heights and water....so didn't learn to swim.......

Laura- hopefully today the doc comes to visit you and discharges you....

Laura , steph and Emma - I always pray that you all have a good delivery and don't have to go through much pain.....have healthy and cute babes..

Coy- last month my cycles were of 38 days..... So I should be O in the next 2 days..... But I feel this time I may go back to my regular cycles of 32 days.... If that's true then I may have already ovulated..... Let's wait and see for 2 more days........ I will continue to BD till this week....and then stop....keeping fingers crossed...... This time I feel I have done better than previous months.....

I know it is difficult to keep a sitter..... Specially with such a neighbor around....you must be craving to have some time together as a couple.......

 

[shradha]

Patrice- wow O ....today ....go for it ....... It is good that your cramps are not that bad.....

Coy- yea....I am waiting for dh.......ok I better rush he is going to sleep....I must catch him before he sleeps...bye...see you Tom

 

[Grey Eyes]

AFM- woke up later again today, I have been sleeping hard I am still feeling tired though. Today I have to prepare a glucose report for dh's doctor then decide what to do with myself? I am not feeling very energetic at the moment Not sure why but just feel dragged out and have a headache...I know what I need! A tall iced quad shot latte with skim milk Ahhhh. Yes. I am fairly certain that would fix me, lol

My girls aren't helping- they are currently chasing each other in the living room screaming. They have so much energy! Steph, you will be amazed how aweosme it is with 2 children! They entertain each other. My first dd was always happy but there was a sadness because she didn't have playmates- now they are terrors! lol

Shradha-

You know this is a TTC thread when one of you literally interupts yourself to say hurriedly "dh is going to bed! I gotta go catch him-BYE!" That's how ya get it done, am I right?!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Patrice- is your ovulation day always pretty crampy and painful? I noticed mine were pretty sharp and intense but very brief.

 

[mzswizz]

coy-actually no. i never really knew when ov day was because i wouldnt even have a hint of a cramp so this is new to me.

shadra-yes i learned how to swim because dh taught me. like a few years ago. but i have t o get better at it.

 

[Grey Eyes]

coy-actually no. i never really knew when ov day was because i wouldnt even have a hint of a cramp so this is new to me.

shadra-yes i learned how to swim because dh taught me. like a few years ago. but i have t o get better at it.

Seriously! You just learned to swima few years ago? Patrice, you are my hero!! I don't know how to swim yet My dh is, naturally (he would be lol) a professional deep sea diver, Navy Seal instrcutor, and here I am I can't even dog paddle! He has promised to teach me but there are no pools in our area and it depends on how badly his legs ache.

 

[mzswizz]

yep just learned. but i have to get better though if i want to pass boot camp.

 

[SpudsMama]

I can't swim either, I always struggled as a child and had a bit of panic once on holiday when I paddled too far out and got stuck which has since put me off trying again. I think that's why I'm so hopeful for a water birth. I want this baby to be confident in the water, and what better start than being born in the stuff?

 

[lauraemily17]

Pretty rubbish swimmer here to!! I do know the technique but not got a lot of stamina & I can only go swimming in out door pools as in door ones give me tonsilitus!!'that's why i spend as much time as pos in the sea or pool when on holiday abroad.

Shradha - love you running off to get some BD in!!

Coy - i think you've been working too hard. When you say you got up late, what's late to you? You seem to be a night owl like I was before I was pregnant. Now I have to be in bed a good couple of hours earlier but still like to sleep in as long!!

Steph - so is your hospital bag all packed and ready now? I'm so repacking mine after my experience in hospital now!!

Afm - still in. No Drs available to see me. It's such a waste of money & resource as my blood pressures much more stable I'm the normal range, I really don't need to be here. Shows how short they are on experienced staff!! DH
Really isn't taking it well. He's been so worried & now on a nightshift in a very grumpy mood & his justification for his grumpiness is me being in hospital. Any criminals he catches best be on their best behaviour!! Coy, he did actually offer to take me home in the police car if I was seen really late!!

 

[Grey Eyes]

Laura- lol to the ride in a police car! That'd be fun, go for it! I bet your dh is stressing out, it'd be hard not to. Stupid doctors! I sure hope you get more attention during labor and delivery!

As far as getting up late, I slept until 8 a.m. this morning! Everyone else was up but my 3 year climbed into bed w/ me But I was up until like 2 a.m. or so That's my "quiet time" lol.

I sure hope you get to go home soon- and yes, I can imagine after this little test run that you will be packing your bags different!

 

[lauraemily17]

Day 2 & my body has already kicked into the hospitals schedule. I'm awake at 5.45am & first BP check is at 6am!! At least I can get another hour or so sleep afterwards!

Coy - as I suspected, 6 hours sleep is NOT, I repeat NOT a lie in for a pregnant lady!! I know how much you like your quiet time in the early hours so could DH maybe take care of the girls for a few hours in the morning so you can get more sleep??

 

[lauraemily17]

Um, 40 dsys left on my ticker, time to start taking bets as to when Beanie will be arriving & whether naturally or via induction/ c section!!

 

[shradha]

Laura- don't worry......I feel beanie will come through normal delivery.......will not trouble mommy ..... On time...... Dh must be counting days......men are very sensitive.....we can talk our hearts out .... But they never talk.....keep everything inside......you have to encourage him to talk...........

 

[shradha]

yep just learned. but i have to get better though if i want to pass boot camp.

You are lucky......don't worry you will pass .......me and dh once went to learn swimming.....my pa is an amazing swimmer....but I was shocked to know that even dh was afraid of water.......... Just like me........ Pa was very sad........ He said neither his daughter nor his son- in law can ever swim...........

 

[lauraemily17]

That's so true Shradha. I thought my DH was actually quite good about talking about his feelings until we has the miscarriages & he bottled quite a bit up. He's a bit better now as he told mr how he felt last night, but stupidly waited until he was at work & said it via text!! Men hey??!! I've just spoken to him now & his boss ended up sending him home early!! I've told him to sleep properly & not worry about getting in early, my 1st blood pressure reading has been great so I really can't see I'll be in another night.

How are you today?

Laura & Shrdha-
My dh is the same way. He is generally very open but about things like our mc- he waited a few months to talk about it much. Even tonight he mentioned that he had been worried about this baby...And he still said very little but when they are like that the "little bits" speak volumes!

Laura, I am glad your dh got a little extra time to rest and I hope you get to take advantage of a few x-tra hours sleep!

My dh does generally take the girls here and there and gives me time to rest or study.....such as this morning he was in watching cartoons with them, they both end up sitting on his lap and cuddling (crush, huh?!) but the little one has a way of sneaking off and getting in bed with mom Silly girl Plus, she has decided it's time to get rid of her potty chair and start using the "big girl" potty and I am her elected helper lol, so anytime day or night she has to go it's Mom or a fit!
