Nice bump caz! Big congrats to you blessed!!

Well, this morning at 8am was suppose to be my c-section date, I would have had her at 39 weeks. Instead... I have a baby who will be 3 weeks old on Sunday! So hard to believe!! She woke up for a 4am feeding this morning which was the time we were going to get up to go to the hospital. (I had to be there at 5:30am, UGH!) Then she woke up around around 8 which was the c-section time. Was so nice to be laying with her in my nice comfy bed instead, almost healed!

Hi Ladies! I'm sorry I have been off the grid for the past 5 months. To make a long story short... I got laid off - got a new job - went to see the specialist in May - we are going to start round one of Clomid + IUI in August! We are very excited but also nervous. I decided to just lay off TTC and all things TTC related since we were taking a break and it just made me sad that we had to wait (because of my new job). But the time is finally almost here! I'll start the 100mg of Clomid at the start of my next cycle. I think I'm on CD 7? I don't even know - lol. The one thing I did do was keep temping just to track my cycles (and using Fertility Friend). They have been allll over the place without the meds!

Anyway... OMG CAZ! Congrats!! Your bump is beautiful! So very happy for you!! Breaking and Mommy - what gorgeous little girls you both have! WOW! I haven't read through all of the posts I have missed just a few and I'm happy to see some familiar "faces."

Kitty, for some reason I was slightly bummed when my due date came around, it was weird. I guess as much as I wanted it over early, I didn't but Alice is here, gorgeous and healthy, can't complain right? She really is a doll, I love seeing new pictures but she badly makes me want another!!!! Lol xx

mrsjenny, welcome back hun! Sometimes all we need is a little breather because we all know ttc isn't a walk in the park. I hope IUI works out for you xx

 

[breakingdawn]

Alice makes me want another too!!! She is totally opposite from my first baby!! So happy.. No colic... Etc. it's crazy. Not sure if we will ever have a third or if my body will even allow me to have a third but we will see where life takes us.

 

[breakingdawn]

Welcome back Jenny! It's good to see you! Very exciting news... I will have my FX for you next month!!!

 

[mrsjennyg]

thank you so much breaking and mommy! i will def keep you all posted so how has life been with new little ones? i am so happy for you ladies!

I love it been some really trying times dealing with colic, tons of sleepless nights and persistent thrush.. but it's all so worth it! Lyla's just starting solids now and she's loving it, so that's been fun. She really found her voice a couple days ago, she's nonstop talking now lol. After all the struggles and heartbreak of ttc and an ectopic, if I could go back, I'd still go through it all again if it meant having my perfect and healthy baby xx

that's wonderful! are you able to stay home with her? i would love to be able to stay home with our future LO but both DH and i have to work so it'll have to be daycare after my 12 wks maternity leave. i know i am lucky though because our insurance covers a lot more than most peoples do not and my mat leave is 2x as long as most of my friends. it must be so great to hear her little voice!

We're doing good! My first baby had AWFUL colic and all sorts of stomach problems. This one is SO different. She is happy most of the time and doesn't even get really mad... she sleeps pretty much all the time still. I am hoping we missed colic this time though! I'd be soooooo happy! She will be 3 weeks tomorrow!

my sister in law has 2 little girls and Lyla (great name mommy!) was a very colicky and cranky baby (she is a very delightful 3 year old now- haha). Her second, Lacie, is a year and half and was completely different than her sister. No real issues when she was an infant, was happy to go to anyone (where Lyla would freak is anyone besides mom, dad or grandparents held her) and is a real powerhouse! that kid has no fear! hopefully your little angel will continue to be a happy go lucky baby!

Hi there ladies!!

Just wanted to pop in and say I hope all the pregnant ladies continue to have a H&H pregnancy and those still ttc babydust to all xx

I am doing great!! In third tri, time has flown sooo fast, I can't believe my little one is due in no time. My baby shower is the 28th so I'm excited to see what we get from there so we can continue to shop and I can finally pack a hospital bag.

OH and I also moved into our own apartment about two weeks ago, so I am really happy to have a aplace of our own to raise our baby, feels like a complete family now. I was dreading having to live in his parents basement with our baby, lol. So everything has been going great!

Lyla is so cute, you look like twins!!

 

[Mommy2be20]

Mrsjenny, I wonder if it's something to do with the name Lyla I am lucky enough to stay home, we live with my parents being as my fiancé left when I was 8 weeks along. And mat leave is a year in Canada as it is! We're very fortunate xx

Mixed, thanks for popping in to update us! Glad to hear you're doing so well not long to go, wow. I hope you have a wonderful delivery! and thank you, she's my mini me xx

 

[caz & bob]

girls hope you are all having a nice weekend cant wait for the morning got my gender scan i will post on her as soon as i get back x x x

 

[mrsjennyg]

hi mixed your baby bump is so adorable! congrats on the new apartment, i am sure it must be great to have a place of your own. geez, i can't imagine raising my kids in the same home with my in-laws and i think i have pretty great in-laws!

mommy i must agree with mixed, lyla is def a mini-you! she's a beauty! i'm so jealous of your maternity leave! my sister lives in germany and the child care/health care there blows the US out of the water. with my new job i will have 12 wks 100% paid mat leave, which is A-MA-ZING here because it's usually 6 wks / 60% paid. that' great that you are staying with your parents, i am sure it's a huge help having the extra hands around and i bet they love having their little granddaughter in house! i remember that the FOB left (loser) and all the grief he was giving you. what a jerk - i am sure you are 100 times better off. is he still contesting he's the dad? are you still with the boyfriend that you posted the pic where you were doing the belly cast? if i'm asking too many question or getting too personal, you can totally tell me to mind my business!

caz hello! i am so happy for you that you have your little miracle can't wait to hear what you're having! do you have names picked out?

AFM I'm trying not to think about the waiting until my next cycle. I'm on CD10 and my cycles without meds have been anywhere from 27 days to 41! hopefully I'll be on the shorter side this month so i can start the meds and get the ball rolling for the IUI! i've been stalking some of the IUI boards to see what those ladies are going through and to get an idea as to what i have instore for me. i went out with my good friend Beth who is 6 mos pregnant yesterday and we had fancy spa pedicures and then I took her to Vera Bradley to pick out her baby bag. i am so happy for her and so jealous of her at the same time, i am sure you all know how i feel! but her story is a total miracle - she has endo so bad that her uterus was fused to her large instestine at one point (she's had many surgeries). they started the whole infertility process and she was one meds and nothing was working. so they met with the doc for IVF and they would have had to pay $12,500+ out of pocket! so they took a break to get their finances in order and she got pregnant! they told her she would never get preggo on her own and it was a totally shock when she did!

ok, happy Sunday my dears have a great day!!

Hi Ladies...just a quick update. Ended up in emergency room on yesterday with severe cramping, pressure, back ache, and nausea. After blood work, ultrasound, and pelvic exam, it was determined that the pregnancy was ectopic. Had emergency surgery to remove tube as it had already started to rupture So now I've had both tubes removed. I'm doing ok physically...just really sore. Mentally, I'm trying to be strong, but it is hard as I don't think a baby will be in our future unless we the IVF route. I'm just totally bummed.

 

[breakingdawn]

Blessed... I am so sorry! You are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[Mommy2be20]

mrsjenny, I'm totally fine with whatever questions you have I'm not with that guy anymore, we split when Lyla was a month old.. I just wasn't interested in him as soon as I had her for some reason, I gave it a bit thinking maybe it was just hormones. But I felt relieved once we split and still feel good about my decision! Funny that you ask of Lyla's father. I emailed him on Friday (haven't tried speaking to him since the beginning of February, when I did he called the cops on me), he shocked the shit outta me when he replied and said he'd buy her some diapers and personally drop them off. Now I'm in a whirlwind of new emotions as I still love the moron, but hate him for what he did to Lyla and I! I haven't heard back yet, but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt as he's a farmer and crops are starting to come off now. I should probably mention, he's still with the same girl.. I've heard NASTY stories about their relationship from her and other people, it's extremely abusive. Could be interesting if he really follows through and comes by!

blessed, hun I am so terribly sorry to hear your news life is just so unfair sometimes!! We're here for you xxxx

 

[mrsjennyg]

blessed- oh my goodness, words cannot even describe how sorry i am for your loss. please know you are in my thoughts and prayers

mommy- sometimes you just have to do what's best for you and if breaking up with that guy was it then good for you Lyla's dad is still with that lunatic huh? well if the relationship is abusive then it's really for the best that he split when he did because you certainly don't want to be in that. i totally understand still being in love with someone after they hurt you... my ex cheated on me and treated me like crap and it took me a REALLY long time to get over him. it was a total sh*tshow and lord only knows why I loved him for so long when he treated me so horribly. but you know what they say, hindsite it 20/20! DH and I met at a wedding when I went with my gay best friend and was dancing around and acting like a total fool. i had decided that i was tried of dating losers and was ok on my own... and then there was DH and the rest is history!!
