October Sticky Beans!

Great news cupcake!!

Ps. My ex husbands ptsd is not why we got divorced...just realized how terrible that sounded not completely heartless lol. I never feel like I have to justify myself to you ladies but that one sounded pretty bad haha

 

[mrscletus]

Never thought that Tods...

 

[krissie328]

I didn't either tod! But it's so hard dealing with ptsd. My friends husband served three tours and he really struggles. I really feel for those men and women.

My inlaws are coming down today for the weekend so I'm hoping we can sneak in some this weekend. I'm not expecting to o but if I do I want to be prepared.

 

[todmommy4568]

Yea it's pretty heart wrenching seeing what it does to people...

Cletus is your DH still in too then?

Krissie sometimes that is the most fun lol when the in laws are around we tend to act like we are 16 trying to not get caught

 

[mrscletus]

Does anyone know if there is a "doctor reviews" type section on this forum... I have looked but cant find anything..

And yes DH plans to stay for 20 as well. I actually joined in 1999, but didn't transfer over to full time until 2002... so I have to do a few more years to reach 20 active duty. DH, will reach 20 years of NG time in 2020. (Not far off though)

 

[todmommy4568]

I don't think there is a doctor section...are you looking for a type or specific Doctor?

 

[mrscletus]

Just if there is anyone in my area that has had success with a certain RE...

 

[todmommy4568]

Ahhhh I think you can find doctors reviews on Google....good ol Google haha. Didn't your sister find you an RE?

I feel like I have been on bnb all day lol...I promise I really have done other things

 

[mrscletus]

She did- its just 2.5 + hours away. I am willing to travel, I just was curious if there was anything closer. You know. And I totally feel like I have been here all day too!! Just cant get ttc'ing out of my head I guess.

I am going to go with the one she found first and see where I can go from there. that is just a long way to go for multiple apts.

 

[todmommy4568]

That is a very long ways to go. Have you looked in to some of the OB's in your town? I don't think we have any RE's but we do have OB's that handle infertility so that could possibly be an option too. At least for the initial testing

 

[Blackrain90]

There is a website called Rate MD's- not sure if it is for all doctors or just Canada, but worth a shot!

 

[todmommy4568]

Had my dress fitting today and my dress that was too big now fits about perfect....really hit me today about how much weight I have gained back I am back on WW now though and am scared to lose weight because my dress will be done on the 31st with wedding in the 3rd so not much room for error.

Bernie is coming to Bismarck....feeling kind of special trump is coming in the near future too....so weird

 

[edensalar]

Awesome

Holy cow you ladies were talkative yesterday!

PTSD is a really difficult thing to deal with. My cousin had 4 deployments, all to Iraq and/or Afghanistan, and they changed him drastically. He used to be a sweet (kind of smart ass) but fun guy. We were very close growing up, he's only 8 months younger than me, but now he's a totally different guy. It's incredibly difficult just to be around him because he isn't the same man I knew for 25 years. My BIL has also had 3 deployments but he's been lucky, two of those were in Turkey and even he admits they were incredibly posh and easy jobs. The third was in the middle east, not exactly sure where (we weren't allowed to know specifics), and that was a really rough one for him.

 

[todmommy4568]

I think we gained about 2 pages on Friday and then we all jumped ship for the weekend I think AF is on her way out, should be down to light spotting tomorrow if anything. DH leaves tomorrow and not gonna lie I'm a little scared haha I have been a single mom basically from birth to age 3 1/2 with Asher because even when his dad and I were together he worked out of town and then was deployed. I have gotten used to the luxuries of having another parent in the picture now though with DH, I'm kind of dreading being a single parent for the next two weeks

 

[krissie328]

Yea, my inlaws were in town this weekend. Thankfully they are gone and I'm relaxing. Dh and I got some in so I'm happy. My libido is finally up after 3 months of it being MIA. I'm hoping it's a good sign I'm trying to o.

 

[todmommy4568]

Sounds like a good sign krissie!

 

[cupcake.]

I've been sick the past couple of days.. Since wednesday, a mean cold and super sore throat and it hasn't gotten a whole lot better even after now 5 days of being at home and drinking tons of hot tea

Well, it has gotten better on friday i was barely able to make a sound but still, being pregnant and not able to take something, that cold really seems to linger!
Thankfully it's a bank holiday in germany tomorrow so i don't have to go back to work until tuesday but if it's not better by then i might have to go back to my doctor.. Which would suck so much as i really want to announce at work as well!

 

[Blackrain90]

Cupcake I had a bad cold/laryngitis/bronchitis a couple months ago and agree, it is awful to try to get rid of, hope you feel better soon. Warm baths with Epsom salts were a life saver for me- I never bath but was having 3 a day.

Krissie yay get on that (literally!) haha!

Todmommy yes it is definitely tough. When my son was a couple months old my hubs had to work out of town for a month and my god, I never want to do that again! Even a day alone with my son is tiring (though more likely due to being exhausted and hormonal haha). I'm sure it will go great though!

Ladies I have a problem- the bottomless pit that is my stomach. Normally my stomach feels so full from baby that I can barely finish half a meal without feeling ill.
Last night I had 4 hotdogs (with buns), chips and ice cream and was still hungry afterward.
Tonight I had a cheese burger and a box of onion rings from Dairy Queen, and my stomach is still growling. I am really hoping I can't trust my scale, as it says I have gained 5 pounds in 4 days, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Pretty sure I have surpassed my 35lb weight gain goal limit- which isn't great given my 5ft nothing height and petite body type....And then last night my husband made a comment/question about how my stomach would get back to normal after stretching out so much..and I started bawling like a baby haha..

 

[todmommy4568]

I hope you feel better soon cupcake!

Black could you try filling up the rest of the way on fruit and veggies? Probably doesn't sound too appealing but then you wouldn't be hungry and it wouldn't be so killer on the the calorie side...or a lean protein? 35 lb gain is great in my opinion, even if you have gone over a little bit. At 35lb that shouldn't be too hard to take off either, although baby weight seems to be tough, for me at least..but I also gained 80 pounds while pregnant with DS BTW I have been meaning to say..........I want a bump pic!
