Praying for a 2012 BFP and 2013 Baby!!!

Oh I had lots of food, my old assistant from my last job was the one who did the shower and it was just amazing, everything was perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better one. She made little egg and tuna salad sandwiches, bacon ranch pasta salad, macaroni salad, a fruit and veggie tray, potato salad, fruit salad, my sister brought strawberries and dip, and little smokies wrapped in bacon, and then tons of different chips and dips and stuff.

For games we did a baby food test thing, you take the wrappers off and you can smell, look, and even taste the foods and then you write down what you think they are, I got most of them right but I didn't know they put whole meals in baby food jars and some of them were disgusting! Then we did a "baby animals" game cause my theme was jungle so we had a ton of animals and then you had to list the baby version of them (like horse and foal, that kind of thing) then we had a word scramble and a scrabble type game where you made as many words as you could with "Jackson" and whoever had the most won (we put it into a scrabble cheat site to find out what words were real so nobody cheated!). It was great.

I did buy a space-saver swing today with one of the gift cards I got. It's battery operated just like a regular swing but its lower to the ground and folds for travel. Target had it on sale for $40 and its usually 60 but it was a return I think and so they marked it down, but it was zoo animals so it fits with our theme, it was a great deal! The next couple weeks are going to be a lot of putting things together that we got!
 
wow maternity leave Clairethats come round quick! - enjoy every minute as you never get that time to yourself again!
Hope your app' goes well, i bet she is at least partly engaged! :)

Off to toddler group in a bit, Thomas was pretty good last week so hoping he's gradually learning how to behave in a group :)

Sounds lush Kendra :)
 
Hi girls, well ive been for MW appointment and she has booked me in for a presentation scan at 10.30 in the morning, seems like LO could be breech again!:cry: I know there is still a little time for her to move around but i dont think she will now, apparently i will be offered the chance of an ECV but im going to refuse one as apparently its painful and there are a lot of risks with it so i will go straight in and request a c-section which i will expect to be around 39 weeks. :thumbup: So will see what happens in the morning and update you all. Also my fundal height was only 35 this week so that has concerned me although my MW said her growth is absolutely fine......i just want her here now :baby:

Kendra your baby shower sounded lovely :flower:

Enjoy toddler group Rach, i hope Thomas behaves this week! :winkwink:
 
Laura they are gorgeous! What blessings..

Hopes any news?? Hope you are resting and have some news for us soon!

DG How are you??

Mrsmms, CANT WAIT to hear about the bday vaca details! U DESERVE IT! CHEERS!

30 HOW ARE YOU??

MRSPTTC, hopefully soon to be bump bud, thanks for the encourgament!

Kendra, your shower sounded lovely. I loved the pics I managed to see!

AFM, AF came on schedule 3-10..let the count down to a positive OPK begin. Donors lined up hopefully..I will keep you all posted.. HUGS LADIES!
 
ahh Claire that is pants, i hope she's not breech but consider the ecv hun as its gotta be better than trying to recover from a major op with a lo'?Of course its up to you though x
Try not to worry about measurement, my mw says its not too important once you get close to delivery, my fh didn't get higher than 37cm and also its fine to be up to 2cm either side, Harry was always a cm or 2 less.

Well Thomas was 'ok' at toddler group its when he got home that he's now in my bad books. Basically he decided to smear poo all over his carpet, shouldn't have left the dirty nappy in his bin i guess but didn't think :doh: Then we went to a shop to take some stuff back and i had to chase him round the shop 4/5 times as he wouldn't stay with me. I wish i could have him in a pushchair at times like that!

so to answer your question AS, stressed! but massage tonight :wohoo:
can't wait for you to get your + ov' wishing you all the luck hun for that :bfp: :happydance:
 
Kendra- sounds like a very successful baby shower- even though you didn't get a single baby diaper bag.

30- glad he managed to behave but not good he decided to turn up the "bad" boy at home. :dohh:

babyhopes- not good that the baby's breech... Hope baby decides to turn around but even if baby doesn't, sounds like you have a plan that you can agree to.

Asib- good luck :dust: Can't wait for a bfp from you!

As for me... busy busy busy... I'm amazed I'm not falling over exhausted from the crazy life I lead. :shrug: I keep forgetting to do my opk this week. :dohh: Oh well, there's always tomorrow. I think I'm starting uti though so I will be drinking cranberry juice this weekend and find some otc med to try to get rid of it. I got updated news on my husband's blood works. :yipee: So it looks good- testorestone levels have been risen which is the goal but other level for something else had dropped so they are starting to give him another medicine with his current one to help prevent the oxygen from being stored in his fat. :shrug: :saywhat: I don't even understand what's exactly that means but ok... Hopefully this summer we'll get lucky. He's got to go back in 4 weeks for another blood work test to check his levels.
 
Glad things are looking positive dg, hope the next tests are even better! :)

Well Harry's off to the doc's for next lot of jabs today, got to take Thomas with me too so hope he doesn't cry, quite often he does if Harry does, bless him.
Then Thomas has swimming this afternoon, so mil will come over to look after Harry.
FIL has found himself another job, tidying up the front and back gardens - know its only because he wants to come and see the kids but can't complainreally as it won't get done otherwise!

Claire - good luck hun x
 
30 thanks! Massage sounds so nice and delightful..you deserve it!!

DG, Good luck with OH levels ..sounds promising! DONT FORGET TO OPK! I am going to start mine Friday! Hugs and love, Asib!
 
Hi girls, well im back from my scan and baby is well and truly breech!!!! Had a chat with doctor and as its my first she thinks its unlikely she will turn at this point as my abdominal muscles are so strong still so instead of putting myself through a rough ECV ive opted for a c-section. So baby will be with us on Thursday 5th April! 3 weeks from today! Not sure how i feel TBH i bit shell shocked and concerned about why she is breech i just hope she is okay. Had a growth scan and all looks well and she weighs 5lb 2ounces at min she is sooooo very dinky! Bless! Saw her practising her breathing and swallowing which was cute. they will scan me again the morning i go in for my section and if she has turned then it will be cancelled so we shall see what happens, still time for her too turn yet i suppose.:shrug:

Hope you all ok xxx:hugs:
 
Oh hun, sorry to hear she's breech. Your brave opting for a cs, but least you can plan for the day now rather than wondering when you will go into labour! wow, only 3 weeks left! eek! :) x
 
Thanks Asib- finally remembered to start my opk today. Looks like I've not missed it, just starting a 2nd line so it may get darker over the weekend. :thumbup:

Babyhopes- wow... Hope all is good-especially with the c section when it's time. Yep, at least you can now plan for the day rather than wonder when you'll go into labor. Never know, maybe baby will surprise you and turn around before the due date.
 
:hugs:HI Hopes! Sorry about the breech situation of your dinky bean but thank goodness she is doing well in there..c-sections are not too bad. I had one with Gi! so excited to see her.. cant wait ! xoxoxo
 
:dohh: I forgot about the opk again today. Luckily I haven't peed yet since um... couple hours ago so when I need to go again next, I'll test again. :shrug:

Thank god it's the weekend :yipee: :wohoo: I thought I wouldn't survive another week of crazy deep cleaning... Today I had to go all out too... Bleached wipe EVERY single mattress and vacuum every bedroom... That's a lot of cleaning. :shock: But I'm determined to win the stupid war with the damn lice. We're ending 2nd week of that right now- still another week or so before it's really under control and looking brighter at end of the tunnel but definitely going to be cleaning rest of the school year whether I like it or not- and CHECKING every single week to make sure it doesn't surprise us again until end of the school year. Arugh. Stupid bugs.

Spring break couldn't get here any quicker... 2 more weeks and I'll have a week off work. I can't wait. 2 days to recover just doesn't seem like enough. :dohh:

How are y'alls? Hope you all have better weekend plans than my lazy do nothing weekend... :haha:
 
Hi girls! Yes it wont be long before baby girl is here, and im coming too terms with having a c-section now, so much so that im sure she will turn the night before i go in and it will probably end up cancelled but for now she is well and truly comfy in her breech position, wish i was, ouch my ribs ache so so much from her head! Oh the joys!:winkwink:

AS and DG get opk'ing! :thumbup:

AS am so excited for you hun! Hope you get a nice blaring positive OPK soon so we can start the TWW countdown! when are your donations due to start? Are you going to give the progesterone a try? I defo think you should honey :thumbup: good luck and keep us updated! :flower:

Rach i cant believe Thomas smeared poo all over his carpet! OMG, it is very naughty but i did giggle a bit too, the little tinker! How was Harry and his jabs? hope they went well and he didnt cry too much...has your bleeding stopped fully yet?? Yes at least i have a date too look forwrd too now which is exciting but so much for my waterbirth and hypnobirthing, ugh! :dohh:

DG my weekend is going to be a chilled one, i have been cleaning all day today too as we have had some builders in renevating our garage into a chill out room so they finished for weekend now so i have been cleaning all the dust up, not much fun! So tomorrow im doing nothing and sunday it is Mothers Day so im going to my parents for lunch and to see DH's mum and drop her present off and thats about it. My DH is getting tattooed on sunday so i have a free afternoon whilst he does so i may just pamper myself...saying that i cant reach my ladybits too shave or my feet to pedicure so i think i might just have a facial!:thumbup: Enjoy your weekend hun :hugs:
 
I think quite a few of them have a poo incident at some point, beware! :haha: although its only boys that i know of so you may be ok!!
No bleeding for about a week now, so i hope i can say everything is ok. Have no idea when to expect af though? :shrug: still haven't had :sex: yet though. When we do will have to remember to be careful as not on pill! hehe
Harry was a good boy only a little cry really. Can't believe he will be 3 months tomorrow!
Not much planned for us, oh is NOT working for a change so hoping i can convince him to go swimming on sunday and we can take Harry for the 1st time :)
 
MrsMM – when’s your birthday? Enjoy your vacation! Good luck with your donations.

Wow Babyhopes – maternity leave already? That came around quick! But OMG you’re having to have a section? :wacko: I probably would’ve chosen that too. Not long now! And your baby will make her due date, yay!

Kendra – your baby shower sounds great hun.

30 – I can’t believe Thomas did that! :sick: What a little monkey he is! Glad to hear your bleeding has stopped.

DG – great news about DH’s testosterone hun!

Asib – good luck with the OPK’ing! I’m not POAS’ing again this month, trying it stress free again like last month. We’ll see how that works out :haha:. Good luck with your donations too!

AFM – I took DH’s 2nd SA in on Wednesday, results take 2-3 weeks to be sent back to the Dr. I’m not worried as the first one last May was brill, and DH has continued his Wellman and Maca and stopped smoking 3 months ago. It will be interesting to compare the results though..5.5 weeks til my FS appointment, yay! And 6 weeks 7 days until Turkey! (Not that I’m counting of anything :winkwink:)
Just waiting to ovulate, though it’ll be a few days yet. Did AI last night and will BD over the weekend. I’ve got a busy weekend ahead. Overtime tomorrow, staying at my parents with DH and the dog overnight and getting a takeaway and a few drinks with them. Mother’s day meal at the MIL on Sunday, footie match on TV Sunday afternoon…Phew! x
 
Wow that's late for a CS isn't it though Claire? I would be worried about going into labor before that :( I hope everything works out well for you though... I get an anamoly scan on Monday FINALLY after 13 weeks of no scans so I can see where he's at. I am almost positive he is head down though, when I get hiccups it feels like my vagina is hiccuping LOL
 
Hi girls, hope you all okay!! xx

Kendra, they wont perform a section before 39 weeks at my hospital unless it is an emergency of course, they like to keep baby in there for as long as possible. they said that if i go into labour or my waters break then i have to go straight to hospital where i will have an emergency c-section. I am crapping myself about going into labour whilst she is breech, the last thing i want is to have a breech vag delivery! Ugh! Been having period pains and some BH this morning aswell, eeeeekkk! stay put little girl your the wrong way up! Oh and i always feel her hiccups in my vag area, especially to the left and that is exactly where her bum is so you just dont know! Good luck with scan, hope you can get pic xx

How is everyone else today??? xx
 
Don't worry hun, labour is nearly always long with a 1st baby so you will have plenty of time to get there if you do go into labour.:hugs:
