MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

Prowife good luck! I'll be praying for a easy delivery!

Clande that announcement is too cute. We have a fawn boxer named Zeus. My husband's family are big boxer lovers.

Momwithbabies the least hopeful times are typically the most surprising. Hope this is your cycle!
 
@Momwithbabies: 200-ish 8th graders??? OMFG, that's like the ninth circle of hell! But at least you can have wine when you get home! That's my single biggest issue right now, I'm dealing with one of the most stressful periods of my adult life and no drinking or smoking (and somehow I've not killed anyone)... speaking of... LP always made me cranky, pregnancy has made me a super bitch. I'm also getting to a point where I'm not even pretending to be apologetic about it. FX that's a good sign for you!!!


@athena87: my maternal grandparents got their first Boxer before they had my mom (in the late 1940s). My parents got a Boxer when I was three... and you can guess what I chose when Hubster said he wanted a "big dog to play with" :) Other dogs just don't seem right to me, like their noses are too long and narrow or they are too serious or too unruly. I really only like Boxers. And cats. We have five of those, but there was no f-ing way I was trying to get them into a photo.


PS I hope ProfWife is well! I have so much stress with the job stuff, very likely huge move, and trying to get my family that left stuff at my property to come get all of it so we can put this house on the market as soon as I get a good offer elsewhere! And I'm a little worried about her, like it's getting to be a bigger worry each day she hasn't replied! I feel like no news is good news, so KMFX and I hope you are all well!!!
 
I hope she's just basking in the glory of a job well done and having some quality snuggle time.
 
Clande they are the same way, which I've become attached to them too. They had one when their boys were younger and she passed from cancer when we had been dating a few months. She was the most well behaved, well trained dog, but they had also had her since she was a small puppy. My FIL got my MIL another a few months later. She was 6 months old and let's just say she ran the house her name was Missy and she became dubbed missy prissy because she got whatever she wanted. My husband said my mil went soft, which is even more apparent with Eli. But missy passed away from cancer about a month before I had Eli in 2014. My brother in law had a boxer and when he became incompetent to take care of him in 2011 my in laws took over, he was living in their basement but they were carrying for his dog. Then my BIL passed in 2012 and I think Yogi became the last piece they have of him. I swear that boxer is riddled with cancer, but is some how still kickin at 12. I've never seen a boxer make it that long. This is Eli and his bestie Zeus. We also have 2 cats, a Bengal and a tuxedo. If you watch Big Bang theory, our Bengal is Sheldon Cooper.

Cute! I'd love to have a dog but I know our lifestyle isn't the best for dogs. For starters, we live in an apartment with no garden space. We also both work and although we don't do crazy hours, it still wouldn't be fair to a dog to be alone for so long.

How's everyone doing? I can't wait to hear from Profwife. I hope she enjoying the first few days with her baby and that everything has gone smoothly. I'm ok. Tired and restless. I had a long two hour nap today, so hoping to stay awake to a normal time tonight. Dh is back on Sunday, so I will be spending the day tomorrow cleaning up the mess I've let build up. I can't believe how lazy I have been this week. I needed it, though...
 
Newbie, I wasn't that bad at the beginning, but so tired now!

Athena, Zeus looks magical! Eli is pretty cute, too!

My childhood Boxer went at 13-14 years, also cancer :( but he was magnificent!
 
Zeus is sweet, but has some issues due to abuse from a previous owner. He really likes to torment me for some reason even though I take care of him all day and even more so when my dh was coaching football. He's nice to dh and to my MIL, but he likes to screw with me. it's not an all the time thing, but some days it's like he wakes up and decides to mess with me.
 
Clande, my tiredness is exaggerated because I'm awake at night for at least two hour, sometimes longer. On the days when I've slept well the night before, I'm generally ok. It's the insomnia that's getting me :-(
 
Hey everyone. All really is well. I'll come back in tomorrow or later while she's feeding and fill you in on the full (dramatic) story and add some pictures. We just got her into her little milk coma and I'm hoping for another night where I can get 3-4 hours of sleep between feedings.

But yes...

Official labor (by our count) began at 4 pm on the 24th. Admitted around 2 am on the 25th. Anne finally arrived at 3:31 pm on the 25th and shares a birthday with her aunt. :) I was in early labor for about 11 hours (possibly longer, I wasn't feeling almost half of the contractions that were registering); active labor for about 11 hours and pushed for 45 minutes before she finally arrived.

7lbs, 1 oz
20 inches
head FULL of hair (and my heartburn...btw...is GONE entirely now)


I'll fill in those gaps with quite a scary story that has an awesome ending...but for now...ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :-)

Love you all and thanks for the prayers, good thoughts and well-wishes. :)
 
Yay ProfWife! Sorry there was a scary story in there, but so glad they're was a happy ending at the end! I hope things are off to a good start!
 
Congrats prof wife! Excited to hear about little Anne's entrance to the world!
 
AF came today with awful cramps! Can hardly move even with Tramodol. Doctor doesn't give out hydrocodene anymore because of the addiction risks, but this isn't cutting it. I'm sitting in an extremely hot bath. I tried jogging and couldn't do it. Periods suck!!!!
 
Do you have a known condition like endometriosis? I don't think it should hurt like that!
 
So sorry to hear that momwithbabies. Mine tended to be pretty bad, I used to be gaurenteed to miss a day of school every month- cramps would end up with a fever and vomiting pretty regularly. Of course it was better on pills, but after my daughter it also seems to have tamed. I only had 2 unmedicated periods, but they were definitely better.
I find wine helps ;) Not with hydrocodone of course... Ibuprofen and heating pads were my go to.

I have been told I probably have it. This cycle isn't as bad as others. On my worst cycles, my descending colon feels like it's going to explode.

It's a mess, for sure. I want the surgery so I could have a better chance of conceiving. I'm way in debt with medical bills though.
