October Sticky Beans!

[todmommy4568]

He called me back after he dropped it off and he is much calmer now and seems like he is perfectly fine. He has been so weird about the whole situation so I really hope things will go back to normal now that his part is done

I'm sorry shan
I think something like this is very tough on men and it must be awkward but that is no reason to be like that. I'm glad he seems fine now, i so hope this will give you your sticky bean!
And if it does, he will be more than glad he did it

I am just laying here now. Have to lay for 15 minutes before I can leave. Didn't hurt at all not even mild cramps and DH's count was 275 million after the wash with 98% motility

Shan - I'm so sorry he was acting like that. This must be tough on him, but it's not fair for him to take it out on you. I'm glad that he's seeming to be better now. I hope this is your sticky bean!!

So...how soon are you allowed to start testing?

 

[todmommy4568]

Lol not for two weeks, I had my trigger yesterday so I have probably 9ish more days before that will even be out of my system. My doc is super optimistic last month it was "period or positive let me know" this month was "call me when you get your positive"

 

[Angel5000]

I love the optimism!! That's great!!

Sorry dh was acting like that. It's such an emotional process. His swimmers were fabulous though so fx you get your sticky bean!

Afm, I'm struggling lately with everything happening so while I'm reading I'm not commenting much. I finish clomid today and I'm definitely having lots of twinges so hoping that's a good sign for a solid o in a week or so.

 

[Angel5000]

Okay girls, I've got some pics of the nursery!! So there's still work to do and some furniture to move, but the paint and 99% of the decals are up!

 

[todmommy4568]

Krissie that is great that things are moving in the right direction. FX'ed that you O soon!

Angel that is super cute!

 

[krissie328]

Jess! The nursery is looking adorable!

Shan- thanks. I'm cd 8 and no positive opk so that's great. I am having a good amount more pain and twinge in my left ovary so I'm sure a happy little eggie(s?) is growing. I'm hoping o holds off until cd 13 so we have a good length for it to mature.

Awe jess that is too cute!
I feel like we'll ve so late with the nursery.. When we moved into the apartment, OH unfortunately hit an electrical wire in the wall while hanging shelves so we have to get that fixed first, either this weeks or next i think. Then, since one wall will then have been ripped open to fix the wire we'll get someone to put a whole new layer of wallpaper on all the walls in that room, but the guy who will do that for us doesn't have time until september. So when that's done we can start painting finally haha so hopefully we'll be able to finish everything before she gets here!

 

[Angel5000]

Thanks!!

Heike - that's a mess! Is there no one else who can fix it before September?

I feel like we started way early but I wanted to do it while I'm on summer break and not working.

 

[krissie328]

We moved two weeks before I had ds and it was so awful not being able to work on the nursery. But ultimately he was in our room 6 weeks so he didn't care.

OH wants that guy to donit as he did my MILs kitchen and he really does great work. We really do need to put up new basic wallpaper, the walls probably won't handle a new layer of paint all too well, so we think it's better if it's done properly so we won't have to worry about it, and since one of the walls has to be ripped open anyways..
When he does come i'm sure he'll be done in a day and we will probably then take a weekend or two of painting and then we only have to set up the furniture. We'll probably still be right on time and i can do the finishing touches when i'm on maternity leave

On that note.. I'm off two weeks now and after that i only have 7 more weeks of work! Hoooly what?! September 29 will be my last day of work and i feel like it'll be here in the blink of an eye. But at the same time i still don't feel that pregnant hahaha i can see myself being like 35 weeks and still not feeling that pregnant 😂

Krissie, baby will be sleeping in our bedroom as well for the first weeks so as long as the room is painted and has the changing station in that's all we really need haha i feel like the whole setting up the nursery is more for the parents to feel ready as really the baby doesn't care one bit if all the shelves are hung and decals are on the wall

 

[krissie328]

Absolutely Heike- I never set up a nursery in the traditional sense. I actually painted and decorated his toddler/childhood room in Grey and blue and the decor is all superhero. I absolutely love it.

Our next baby is going to have white and Grey and either lime green or pink accents. If the a girl I will do a woodland theme. For another boy I'm not sure. I'm actually leaning toward one room being a playroom and one a sleeping room.

 

[todmommy4568]

Agreed nursery is definitely more for parents haha. I had Asher's done around 35 weeks. This time around we won't be doing a nursery as we only have two bedrooms. We are planning on moving sometime next summer so I'm sure we will do a nursery then but I kept Asher in our room until 6 months so I won't be in any hurry It was just so nice when he woke up to eat all I had to do was roll over to pick him up and stick him on a boob lol

 

[cupcake.]

Krissie i actually love the idea of having a sleeping room and a play room for if you have another boy!
And his room sounds so cute! I love grey, it goes so well with every color and can easily be either girly or boyish or gender neutral and just looks good with everything.

Shan, that's what i'm hoping to be able to do as well haha just roll around get the boob out and getting up as little ad possible during the night hahaha

 

[krissie328]

Here's how the room turned out. He now has a superhero bedspread, sheets and pillows though.

I love the playroom and sleep room idea too. Part of me wants a boy so I can do it.

Hi everyone!
I disappeared again. Sorry about that.
I ended up being able to travel, so now I am in New York .

21 weeks and 3 days. I have a bump, but I still haven't gained any weight on the scales. Baby is moving a lot and I'm enjoying that.

 

[todmommy4568]

Heike it is definitely nice, I couldn't imagine having to get out of bed that many times during the night haha

Krissie that room is super cute!

Sam that is great! Glad to hear you and baby are doing well!

I am so confused by my chart. With the trigger and O pains I am pretty sure I am right about O day so I am assuming this huge drop falls under fallback rise but this has never ever happened on my charts so I am super confused!
