Looking for official TTC buddies!!

[lauraemily17]

I didn't think Patrice had moved yet either, I think it's happening in November.

We should be good for Monday Emma. I'm really looking forward to seeing you both. Typically after taking him to the Drs yesterday he's woken up a lot better today!! So far no sick and he's a lot less congested!!

Steph - it's interesting you saying about Nicholas and how he has to live his life now as older brother. I so agree with this and will be the sane with Xander when he has a sibling but I see so many people obsessing with everything having to be the same for all their children so they dont get jealous but each child needs different things at different times.

Shradha - I hope you're still managing to eat regular meals at least. It's quite early for the baby to be squashing your stomach but it probably is your intestines which might be making you feel full. We still haven't seen a bump pic!

Coy - how are you and your girls today? Did Areryn allow an earlier night for you?

 

[SpudsMama]

I'm glad Xander is feeling better today! We're really looking forward to seeing the two of you as well

Hello ladies. Yes, i have not moved yet. Will move in December But dh is up there and he is pretty safe. Nothing serious except a quick power outage thank god.

AFM, CD10 and the bleeding is slowly decreasing. It still hasnt stopped yet but as you all know....im impatient when it comes to AF being here longer than 7 days Im happy that im going to the docs next Wednesday so thats good. Also, MIL got 5 weeks to move so they extended her time because they working on trying to get her house back Butttttt she still wants to move and a little piece in my head wants her to reconsider But anywho, today its 55 degrees right now in Florida. And i must say it actually feels good here. It doesnt feel freezing or anything to me. Guess its because I have the a/c on around 70 and less now Got to vote soon but im waiting until Nov. 1st so i can gas up the car etc. Well thats all for me.

Sorry ladies, I have been MIA. Went to the Reproductive Specialist yesterday. Since I am still bleeding, not heavy or anything - but he did a blood pregnancy test just to be sure I am not retaining any placenta. Just to be on the safe side. He told me to stop my birth control pills (which, they did no good anyways....) and take Provera, one pill a day for 10 days. He said hopefully this will stop my currently bleeding, and in a week or so start a fresh new bleed which will probably be an AF. Than, on day 2-5 I'm supposed to come in one of those days for a blood test. Than take clomid twice a day for five days, than a day after that is done come in for another blood test and a saline infusion ultrasound. This will clean out my uterus and blow it up like a balloon in order for the dr to get a good 360 view of my uterus. The next cycle they would like me to come in for a uterine dye test.


Coy- Congratulations on your daughter. She is beautiful! So glad you not are pregnant and uncomfortable anymore!

Also: We are waiting to see if we are pre-approved for a home loan from another company.

 

[mzswizz]

Sounds like good things are coming your way Ashley! GL on the home loan and hoping they can now find out whats going on.

 

[lauraemily17]

Fingers crossed on the home loan Ashley. Sounds like your Drs being thorough. Is he looking for anything specifically?

Proud wifey moment. Dh on our local news program doing his Police man thing!!

Really?! Awesome? Who's butt did he hav to kick (then arrest) to get on tv? Makes you proud, doesn't it?

 

[Grey Eyes]

Ashley- I am so proud of yu, you are so strong to move ahead with the testing and I think it is the right thing for you to do Verysmall comfort I know, but there is SOME comfort in getting answers and then solutions Sounds like a positive plan your RE has you on and WOW! I am keeping FX'd for the home loan- believe me, I know how stressful that can be Damned nightmare on todays market

 

[lauraemily17]

He was part of a group of polic officers doing some planned arrests for shame marriages. The news people were filming them. Dh's star moment was driving the police van!! As much as I hate the hours dh works I am incredibly proud of what he does and he has such a good reputation he gets chosen to do these high profile tasks.

 

[Grey Eyes]

what's a "shame marriage?"

 

[Steph32]

Hey ladies-- Sorry I don't have time to catch up with all of your posts, but I'm having a mommy freak out moment and I need some reassurance!! I have been drinking some tea with raw honey because I'm sick with a cold, and I forgot to wash my hands after I was handling the honey and didn't realize it until AFTER my finger literally had gone in Brandon's mouth! I checked my fingers after the fact and they were still sticky and smelled sweet! Paranoia set in and of course researched online and paged my dr. The dr thinks he should be fine, but of course I'm still going to worry. And it says that symptoms of botulism could show anywhere from 3-30 days! I've been kicking myself over it, I should have known to wash my hands Do you think he'll be ok???

 

[shradha]

Steph- don't worry....I can understand how you must be feeling.... Even though the I am not a mommy yet but I feel very concerned about the precious beanie that is inside me I think as long as you have not licked your finger and your saliva isn't on it, things look fine. Don't panic....

Patrice- glad you are fine and safe.

Ashley- I am happy that you have visited a doctor and got things sorted out. Keeping fingers crossed for you. This time I am sure your home loan will get passed.

Laura- wow you and Emma are going to meet. Enjoy!
You must be really proud of Dh. It must have been wonderful seeing him on tv.

 

[shradha]

Yesterday night I couldn't get sleep....so I walked out of the bedroom and sat down in the living room and started watching Tv..... I didn't look at the time...I guess I must have sat down for more than an hour....suddenly I felt continuous movement in my lower belly. I felt funny becoz I never like this before....I suddenly felt that the baby wanted to rest.....like screaming at me....go and sleep and let me sleep..hehehe. So I went back to sleep ...and the moment I tried to sleep the movement stopped. Really funny.

 

[Steph32]

Shradha- Over here we are advised not to give infants under 1 year of age any honey, because it could contain botulism spores which can harm the baby. Do they tell you the same in India? I think it's more common in the US. I know it's probably a small risk, but I'm just mad at myself for putting my honey covered finger in his mouth! Of course I would never give honey on purpose, but the fact that I could have easily just washed my hands... now I have to worry and constantly look out for symptoms for the next month?!

 

[SpudsMama]

I've never liked honey so haven't really looked into botulism. I would've thought that if it was such a tiny amount that Brandon should be ok. Maybe keep an eye on him for the next day or two? I'm sure he's perfectly fine though Steph

 

[lauraemily17]

Steph - I'm sure Brandon will be just fine. He's only going to have swallowed the tiniest of amounts. We have the same advice here re honey but I think it's a pretty recent thing and I'm sure once babies are on solids nearing a year a lot of people ignore the honey rule as its in quite a few things. I know I accidentally ate it in a few things while pregnant. I totally understand your worries though

Coy - a shame marriage is where people marry to get rights to stay in the country. Happens a fair bit in Leicester, there were 3 arrests made yesterday. How's the girls today?

Shradha - that's so cute that your baby told you to go to bed, such a strong connection you both have already! It's funny how Mums can pick up babies like & dislikes from as early as in the womb.

 

[Steph32]

Okay, another scary moment. What's B trying to do to me???!!! I went in his room this morning because I had gotten up and saw on the video monitor that he was on his tummy. So, to just check on his breathing, I went in there... I found him FACEPLANTED in the mattress!!!! What?! I was just trying to get used to the fact that he was rolling over onto his tummy at night, but I thought he would know not to do that instinctively, and tht he was strong enough to put it to the side! I immediately checked his breathing, still breathing, and I monitored him for a few minutes like that... still breathing... but come on! Move already! He eventually woke up and put his head to the side. But I don't know if he woke up just because he heard me or sensed me there. After this, how am I ever going to sleep again?!?! I had no warning, he made no noise through any of it!

 

[SpudsMama]

Steph, that's happened here too, it's scary! My Mom had put Phoebe down on her side without thinking to tell me. I walked in to check on her and found her face down... she was a couple of days old! Needless to say she's always placed on her back now. Could you place something alongside him, a rolled up blanket maybe, to stop him from turning over?

 

[lauraemily17]

Wow, that is scary, think my heart would have missed a lot of beats if Xander did that!! I think Emma's suggestion is a good one, if he can't actually roll over then you can relax? I have read that once a baby can roll they are strong enough to move their head if they face plant so won't ever suffocate, just as adults won't. I'm not so sure I could rely on that though. It's damn scary being a Mummy!!
