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

[ClandestineTX]

ProfWife! WOW. I am so glad you are both doing well now, but that's quite an entry!

 

[pathos]

ProfWife, your story made me tearful Sorry for the bf issues. I am glad that you have her in your arms. It was a very very long road for you.

 

[RaeChay]

Congrats prof wife! Hope you are having fun getting to know each other!

How's everyone doing?

I'm a little over 10 weeks now and getting ready to head home for a holiday. Looking forward to seeing my mum and taking her with me for an ultrasound. We'll also do some shopping! All going well pregnancy-wise right now, thankfully!

 

[ClandestineTX]

I think I have finally gained about 5 pounds. I have started crafting, on my second blanket so far. Haven't bought anything else, besides fabric, but I did make our registry/ shopping list and sent out all our snail mail announcements to close friends and family. We aren't telling Facebook until later this summer. Hubster bought plans for a crib, dresser/ changer, and a high chair to do woodworking projects. I have backup plans for those items in a private wishlist on Amazon, if he slacks off. But he promises he's getting them finished! No complaints, gradually getting my regular exercise back up and still walking daily. I can finally feel him move almost every day, which is a relief. All good, I think!

Yay newbie and clandestine! Such good progress for both of you!
I'm less than a month from our gender/anomaly scan. Last time I just cared about seeing baby and finding out gender- this time I'm a little more nervous about issues. No reason to think there'd be anything but I feel like many around me have had bad news at these scans lately. Obviously worrying about it won't change anything...

 

[ClandestineTX]

Worrying won't change anything, and my scans have been perfect - so you know at least one person with no problems to date (and FX it stays that way).

[newbie2013]

Hopefully implantation!

 

[ClandestineTX]

Your chart doesn't have enough data to say one way or the other!
But it does say you had a + test today, which I think you should show us. I am going through POAS withdrawal, haven't even bothered to test in months, because I know what it says LOL. But you should show us yours!!!

 

[melann13]

Agreed- not enough temps on the chart.... but + test?!?!

 

[pathos]

Oh i am pregnant for sure , sorry i forgot to mention the test. I am utterly shocked... I am just trying to figure out the date of conception so that i can figure out when to visit the doctor. Last time, he found no sack +20dpo , and i had a very stressful week.

 

[ClandestineTX]

Oh you are very pregnant! I'd almost wager the May dates for conception because of how dark the line is, but I'm not familiar with those tests. I would call, give them your LMP and say that you have no idea about conception. If they do an hCG quantitative test, you should be able to see something after the hCG is > 2000, regardless of dates. And CONGRATS!

 

[newbie2013]

Congratulations! Super happy for you!

 

[RaeChay]

Congrats pathos! Those clear blue digis are pretty accurate (unless it's multiples of course). If you do a little googling you can find more exact info than what they put in the box- I believe you need to go to their website and click "for medical professionals" and there's some good scientific info on "2-3" and etc and time since conception. Either way, a dating scan Will tell you all you need to know.

 

[momwithbabies]

Congratulations, Pathos! I was so surprised when I read your second post!!!

 

[melann13]

Congrats pathos!!! Quite a thing NOT to mention ☺️😉

 

[pathos]

thank thank you all... you all gave me baby fever and we decided to NTNP but i was kind of thinking it took us 2 years to conceive with hardcore TTC - what are the chances... it took us 2 cycles. We are happy - equally shocked but happy =)

 

[newbie2013]

Haha! I'm so happy that I've finally contributed to someone having baby fever! Best thing ever

I'm heading home today and super excited to tell my brother when I see him. Hopefully this week. Dh saw our lo on an ultrasound on Thursday - he was so happy. He was beaming. Great to see.

 

[athena87]

Pathos congrats! It took us 2 cycles with chemicals to get this sticky boy!

Prowife congrats, sorry you had such a stressful delivery.

We've had an adventure the last few weeks to say the least. We went on vacation to Panama City beach on June 4 we were supposed to stay through the 11th, but on the 7th we were in the pool at our condo at about 5 pm and our son out of no where just starts looking really unwell. I commented about it and at first my husband said maybe he's just tired, but then he just starts shivering. We leave go back to our condo and change him to dry clothes and realize he's running a high fever. I leave to get him medicine and a thermometer (the thermometer ended up being junk). We got his fever down, but he starts refusing to drink anything. He woke in the middle of the night and ended up in the bed with us. The next morning we decide to take him to a clinic because he is obviously sick. Well I looked at reviews online to figure out where we should take him and I found what seemed to be a decent walk in clinic. After waiting an hour, no tests were ran and a 101.6 fever (we're pretty sure it was in the 103 range the day before) we're told he has strep. So we get his prescription and have to force it down his throat, we felt terrible because it was gritty and had to hurt like hell on his poor throat. The next day he woke up with a dry diaper, we had tried every fluid we could think of and he refused them all. Popsicles, chocolate milk, juice, water, pedialyte, you name it we tried it. He would eat, but wouldn't drink so I think maybe he'll eat watermelon. It was given a big no way just like everything else. We tried stringing it but it was a fight and upset him even more so we decided we had to take him to the ER because he was getting dehydrated. Well they send us to a pediatric ER and while we are on our way there he starts getting a rash on his arms and legs. The dr at the ER was appalled that they didn't test him for strep and informs us his strep test was negative and he has hand foot mouth disease. He had ulcers on his throat and we were forcing him to take unnecessary medicine. He wasn't dehydrated yet and they gave us a prescription for baby loratab to ease the pain so he would drink. He finally started drinking 'milk' which was smart water with a splash of milk to make it white and we decided to head home a day early since we couldn't do anything anyways. It took him a good week to completely heal. He had the worse end of the spectrum because he had an itchy rash everywhere, which we had to cover in calamine to minimize the scratching and blister on his hands, feet, bottom, around his mouth, and one on his ear. Even through all that he begged to go to the pool. It was the most exhausting vacation ever.
