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

[ProfWife]

Momwithbabies...I turn to my hobbies that involve repetitive motions or intense concentration when I'm getting stressed out. I'll make some time each night until I feel I've calmed back down.

Hot baths with lavender or peppermint salts/oils with some nature noises or soft background music is normally pretty soothing, too.

 

[momwithbabies]

I take hot baths all of the time, but I'll try the soothing background music. I hate to admit that most of the time I'm in the bathtub, I'm reading the news, reading this website, or looking at lessons online. I suppose those are not the most calming activities Thank you, so much, for replying.

MWB - sorry to hear that stress is getting the best of you. TBH, I don't have much to offer besides sympathy/empathy. My new job is freaking me out lately and I too have been trying to dig myself out of the stress. My crutches tend to be booze (not healthy) and exercise (sounds like not your thing). Hopefully we will get this figured out sooner rather than later!!

Speaking of "hopefully," I noticed that Hopeful hasn't posted since March 17. Which is unlike her. I hope she's just taking a nice break and nothing is going on.

 

[ProfWife]

I'd noticed she went silent, too. Praying she's okay.

Momwithbabies...if you're in the states, get Dr. Teal's Epsom salt in either lavender or relax/relief (eucalyptus and spearmint). The Relax & Relief is my favorite, and was recommended by my massage therapist.

RaeChay: I do love wine, but I try not to drink it all of the time. Unfortunately, my addiction to Dr. Pepper really kicks in when I'm stressed. I hope your job will settle down soon and that you like it.

ProfWife: I'll have to look for that next time I get out. Sounds really relaxing, and I love those scents!

I was wondering the same about Hopeful.

MWB: Do you like to read? I find just reading a good book relaxes me. Hopefully af goes quickly!

I hope everyone had a good weekend!

Momwithbabies, I find crocheting very relaxing. I find e books uploaded on youtube and do some granny squares as i listen. Im merging one, i started on summer when my sil announced her pregnancy on the day of my af. Oh I cried my heart that day. Well the baby was born yesterday, and blanket goes to her...

Im also worried about hopeful, hope everything is well.

 

[momwithbabies]

Nikkilucky: I do enjoy reading, but I have been mostly reading for work. Besides that, the kids and I enjoy reading their books. I need to start reading for me again. That's a great idea!

Pathos: Man, I wish I could crochet or do any kind of sewing! That's special that you made that for the baby. What a creative and thoughtful gift. Do you think a girl like me who can't sew a freaking button on a shirt could learn, lol?

Thank you for the suggestions, ladies. I'm feeling better, stress wise, at the moment. But of course, it could be the pain meds I'm taking, lol!

 

[pathos]

Oh, I am a loser crafter who just pins stuff to pinterest. I learned granny squares on a youtube tutorial a year ago, and I cant sew a button hehe, so give it a try. Once you get started, it is easy. There are really nice tutorials for beginners.

 

[nikkilucky77]

Pathos: I like crafts too . I am dabbling with knitting but I'm not getting very far lol.

MWB: You should definitely start reading for you . And you never know...you could definitely try even if you can't sew a button .

Atm I am guessing I ovulated yesterday and we dtd. I feel we had pretty good timing this month. I had no opks so I am just basing it off of cm and past months (14 is usually my day and it was yesterday)

 

[athena87]

I'm really getting worried about hopeful. I don't always post but I always follow along and it's been a week since she last posted. Is anyone friends with her on fb or anything?

 

[OurLilFlu]

Hmmm... Ya I don't post often anymore but I follow almost every day. Hope everything is alright

 

[ProfWife]

I PM-ed her through the forum. It should send her an email.

 

[athena87]

Profwife I did too earlier today.

 

[pathos]

Ourlilflu, sorry I have just noticed on your ticker, your baby girl is alrady a month old hehe congrats

 

[al335003]

I've been following too... I hope Hopeful is okay! I'm so nervous since she's not been around also, there's been no update from OMG, anyone have news from her?

I admire you ladies so much for having the strength to keep trying, I wish you all a BFP & soon!

 

[nikkilucky77]

I really hope hopeful is alright! I was also wondering about omgbaby!

 

[pathos]
