***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

[BrandiCanucks]

Yay!!! That's awesome news Meow!!

Ladies, I know I said I was comfortable in my decision to adopt, but I'm either having very vivid pregnancy dreams, or this baby is trying to tell me something. A few weeks back, I had a very vivid dream of giving birth to a baby girl. I held her, I could smell her, and as I breatfed her, the nipple pain woke me from my dream only to leave me disappointed that I wasn't actually holding her.

So, like I said, I'm either starting very vivid sexual dreams, or this little Speck is trying to send me some messages. As some of you may know, if you've visited the Baby Names board, I had chosen the name Anberlin Olivia Blaire for a girl. Anberlin is the name of my favourite band. Well, last night, I had a dream that the lead singer from this band came to my house and we had sex. It had been the best sex I had in a very long time. It even concluded with an orgasm in my sleep. After the sex, he told me he had to leave to go back on tour, but he'll come visit in between, and each time he comes around, we'll have more sex. So we made up a sex contract, and thus began our long distance relationship.

Now I know a relationship with the lead singer of my favourite band is not going to happen, but it really got me thinking. I know it sounds ridiculous, but does Speck know I've been considering giving him/her up for adoption, and is trying to tell me otherwise by sending discreet messages that she's the girl I've wanted for a while? Is she trying to show me that I do have another, better relationship in the future and so I shouldn't worry about trying to save my marriage?

Or am I just having some wild and vivid pregnancy sex dreams?

And if I decided to keep her/him, how do I break it to D and M?

You just have to be honest and tell them. Maybe write a letter .. this can give you time to get your true feelings down on paper, proper explanation with out being interrupted .. you know?

I have to be honest .. I feel doubt about adoption being able to save your marriage, because from the way you type, its not like you want to give it up, you're doing it for someone else .. I dunno .. just don't know if that would turn out well, you know? ... if it turns out to be a girl .. could you live with the resentment towards your husband? Being made to give up a girl you always wanted. Open adoption is great, but you still don't get to bring it up as your own.
You may sit there and feel sure now that it won't happen, but resentment builds bit by bit and and be so destructive.

It takes a strong person to consider adoption. Not something I could be strong enough to face.

MmMmM is it bad I REALLY REALLY fancied french fries, so I had them for breakfast?

 

[ttcfurrever]

Meow- So glad everything is good! Cute pic.

Chaos- Thanks I'll keep everyone updated. Oh and AFM means "as for me". Where on earth did you find french fries for breakfast? Yumm.

Brandi- I don't know what to make of the sexy dreams, but if you're having second thoughts perhaps you should keep thinking about it.

 

[new_to_ttc]

Meow, that is fantastic news hun! I am so so happy for you Wow so much pressure must be off your shoulders right now!! Enjoy your pregnancy now hun and cherish the sick free days hehe

Brandi, you clearly need more time to think this decision through. If you chose to go ahead with the adoption you need to know you made the ultimate right choice, and you need more than a couple of weeks to make the choice. Explain to the potential parents that it is just too soon, you need time. Reassure them you are not 'messing' with them but this isnt a small decision and its one you need to take some time over. It may not be little speck sending you the dreams babe, but it most definitely is your conscience, and its telling you that you need to think it through some more. As for your marriage, you need to ask yourself why it was over in the first place, and if those problems have been fully put right. Dont let your marriage troubles and reconciliations force you into an early decision about the adoption, take all the time you need to make the decison that is right for you, no body else just you!!!!

mmmmm french fries... where on earth did you get them at breakfast hour?? lol I finally got my hands on some beetroot today mmmmm.... although afterwards was a bit queezy lolol was worth it though I been wanting beetroot for days lol I have definitely been much better today MS wise after having a small breakfast I will have to fnd things I can stomach first thing (Im not a big breakfast eater at best of times), hopefully will keep the sickness at bay throughout the day then... although chaos I am happy for that trade lol... maybe just for a few days then we can swop back and take it in turns lol My bathroom is downstairs so will be a bit of a pain, but better than MS any day lolol

 

[Chaos]

So I'm back from the Drs .. my results from Thursday (which would have been 25DPO) were 1155 ... that's good right??
(EDIT: I originally put 18DPO .. apparently I can't count today haha. I OV on the 15th Aug)

I just had more bloods taken .. Dr is going to call me tomorrow afternoon. PLEASE at least double!!!

Re the french fries, in my freezer haha. I have a deep fat fryer. Oh God, they were so good .. loads of salt and vinegar. .. Its one thing I miss from back home .. a proper bag of chips and battered sausage. mMmMmM

 

[ttcfurrever]

Chaos- that's a great number! When will you get the second set of results?

Well I'm off to the gym ladies!

I'll get todays results tomorrow. OB isn't going to be able to call me till the afternoon tho as he will be doing surgery tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning is going to SUCK! I Hate HATE HATE waiting lol

Have fun at the gym!

 

[new_to_ttc]

A little impatient there chaos hehe

I have noooooooooooooo idea about hCG levels at all... I would assume that is a good number looks good to me!! You'll have to busy yourself in the morning to fill the wait hehe

I fancy fries now arghhhh..... no good no good... must have fruit lololol I still have so much weight to lose before I put my baby weight on lol I am being my best friends bridesmaid next summer... to say I caused her some worried re dress fittings is an understatement. Ive promised her I will lose the weight and keep it off, and lose the baby weight all in time for her big day lol (August 2011 lol) I really need to develop a craving for fresh fruit and vegetables lol

 

[meow951]

Can anyone else understand this? Last time i had an early scan they said that my uterus was antroverted (sp) which is the right shape. This time he said it's retroverted which means it faces backwards but will correct itself in the 2nd trimester.

How can my uterus magically change lol I didn't notice until i got home and compared my notes from last time. Wierd?

 

[BrandiCanucks]

So I'm back from the Drs .. my results from Thursday (which would have been 25DPO) were 1155 ... that's good right??

According to www.betabase.info, average hcg level for 25dpo is 4242. The lowest reported was 159 and the highest reported was 36984. This was for a single successful pregnancy.

 

[new_to_ttc]

I think its the way it settles? Before conception its high (I think lolol) then kinda settles down and makes room to grow. Sort of ha ha sorry thats lame lol... if it turns round in the 2nd trimester I wouldnt worry lol not that id worry anyway because if I had read that I wouldnt have had a clue anyways lol

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! Them results are totally random!!! So in truth it could be anything from hundreds to tens of thousands??? Maddness!!!

 

[meow951]

I just read that sometimes it can just change. It might correct itself or it might not. How wierd. That's probably why i've got such a bad back because it would be pressing towards my spine.

Bodies are strange!

 

[new_to_ttc]

Oh now back to back pregnancies I have heard about!!! Dont know if that is to do with baby or womb... but I am praying to some divine power I dont have that with this one. I had it a bit with joshua and that was bad enough, but I am still recovering from an RTC lol I do not need a baby on my back too lololol

Funny how our body changes to suit the need's. Its such a miracle what we ladies are doing, we are growing a baby from 2 single cells or whatever ... amazing!!!

lol, talk about a higgldy piggldy of numbers there. 159 to 36984 is a too much of a widely different number to make any sense from.

I've looked on others and my range for 5 weeks was average number.

 

[Duffy]

Good morning ladies I'm tired this morning lol got to get dressed for the day as I'll be headed over to the clinic to take my pregnancy blood test to be put on state medical, have a good day laides

 

[lisaf]

Well my 18dpo HCG levels were closest to the average for triplets... well above the average for twins and more than double the average for a single.... but I only have one in there!!! LMAO. So the numbers really do just vary a lot!


I've been having the stuffiness for days now. Its only really bothersome at night when I can't breathe well through my nose!

SOOO tired, of course I forgot to take all my pills this morning before I left for work, luckily I keep a spare pill in my purse so I can at least wake up... if this darned pill will ever kick in!!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

There's such a huge range that all you can really trust is the heartbeat on the ultrasound and holding your baby at the end of the pregnancy.
