[Affyash]

Ahhhhhhhhhh! Stupid computers! I haven't been getting email updates from BNB and I didn't check in and see what happens!? There are babies being born and I miss it!!!

JENNIFER! Congrats on the beautiful baby boy, he is so precious! I'm so glad it went quickly and you seem to have recovered well! I remember reading about you saying you had a horrible backache and I totally forgot to check back in but at the time, I said to myself, she's totally going into labor! I am so happy for you all XOXOXO!!

Tanya you are next girl, I predict the little lady's coming early for you too! Happy late birthday, I'm so sorry I missed it! Keep walking when you can and I'm sure she'll be here in no time! Big hugs and hope to see you guys again soon!

Steph hang in there honey, don't you dare give up yet. The baby could just be taking a little time to get settled before the numbers skyrocket. How are you feeling? Cramping? Spotting? Just rest and enjoy today off! I love the shiiiiiit outta you girl!

Beth I hope you're doing well too! We're going to be keeping 4th of July low key this year too! How are the supplements treating you, you started them right? They were a little weird for me the first few days but you get used to them. Love ya!

Andi that's great news about the trial study. I so hope you get in, it could be the answers to everything! What's happening with the girls? Anything? I'm so sorry I'm being so short, Quinn's climbing all over me and I have to go get ready so we can leave!

Everyone, I'll be back on this afternoon I promise! Love you all so much!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Wowzers 5 puppies congrats LOL!! You shoulda named them all July names LOL Firecracker, Sparkle, ...ya got me LMAO cookie is cute tho LOL!!!

Anyways HAPPY 4TH OF JULY everyone!

I don't know if I've told you ladies yet but me and DH talked we just dont really have the money for all those tests....it ended up being right around 2500 bucks plus the trips up there and back to FL its too much for now. Income tax if we don't have the girls by then I'm assuming we aren't getting them so we would try the IVF clinical trial. Its an at your own pace thing! I could schedule my first appt just dont have the travel money to get there and back home. Oh well....Its just not the right timing for God I suppose....

As for the girls you asked....I highly think we are getting them. I'm nervous and still don't think it will curb this feeling of wanting a baby....but maybe when we move and have a larger house...then we can figure out about one more LOL yes that would be nuts 5 kiddos someday.....but I think when the girls get a little older and all the kids are in school and I could get a job it would be perfect timing for another one. The baby would be 5 at that time shes 2 right now. I have a feeling we won't be here much longer though! I think in the next 2 years we will ask for a PCS...permanant change station! I wanna get outta here but we have 1 more year on the house before we can officially move well technically 11 months left WOOHOO! Anyways I've been so stressed about our money issue but I know God will provide everything we need, HE always has! I am just going to be relaxed this cycle. By the way the AUNT who is my friend decided it was best not to fight for the girls back and brought me all their things! I have ALL my girls things I now just need my GIRLS I'm SO HAPPY! Jason is really excited to I think...I have never imagined myself with 4 little ones running around but I think I am going to love this I have all these plans running through my head....like a chart for who does what chores daily...and even let the babies try a couple things....like Trysten who is 3 feeds the cat its the cutest.....just lots of plans! I hope everyone has a wonderful day I'll try and get some pics up soon of some things I need to, to show you our progress

On another note WHY would she bring all of their items over....if we weren't getting them!?!?!?! So Yes I DO BELIEVE we are getting them I will know more on July 11th at the court hearing

 

[Affyash]

Hi again! Looks like we've been quiet today! Oh well, serves me right, I should've checked in here waaaay before today!

Steph congrats on the puppy babies, I bet they're adorable! What kinds of dogs are they? That's so fun. How are you feeling? I hope all is well with you!

And Andi, that's great news about the progress with the girls, I so hope you really do get them!

Amanda it's good to hear from you I hope all is well!

Brooke are you hanging in there? I hope you're OK hun, I think about you often!

Mandy I hope you had a good Canada Day and camping trip! That was this weekend right?

Ugh, every time I sit down to write on the computer, Quinn wigs out and tries to sit on the computer! I guess my being on here today is just not meant to be! Happy 4th of July I love you all!

 

[brooke1993]

hi ladies,
I am sorry i didnt get on and let u all know my bloods from Mondays draw were 1709 and the dr seems happy with that,I go to ultrasound #2 on July 27th i wish it were sooner.
Jenn your son is ADORABLE!!Congrats!!!He is soooooo cute!!!
I know I have alot to catch up on but its 2 am and I am eating cereal and back to bed its a nightly thing for me and Aliah has been cutting molars so she has been very cranky.
hugs n luv to u all xoxoxo
2406 1st draw before the bleeding and loss of one twin
1852 2nd draw
1709 3rd draw
I have another draw tomarrow that i will have the results on friday am so I will update then but the dr said it can go either way up or down (like i didnt know this) but he feels optimistic so we will see.I said well why such another big drop if one baby is ok he said its normal that my body has most likely reabsorbed the 1st baby and things are now growing as a singleton pregnancy.He gave me a EDD of Feb 20th 2013
I do still feel pregnant BUT am scared as some of my symptoms went away except i get sick everyday atleast once and my boobs are on FIRE or so they seem.And i feel very hot and am miserable.I am no longer spotting BUT had some gross stuff come out a couple of days ago sorry if tmi but it was like brownish / grey the dr said normal as long as it dont continue or smell.And i wanna apologize 2 u all for saying i would have an abortion i was just very mad and hurt and still am but have calmed down alot.Thank you all for being here for me

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Praying Brooke stick lil bean stick!!! I woke up sick this morning......and messed up tummy how lovely must be a bug going around. Not much to say right now.....we did get the bunk beds up now trying to sell things on CL for really cheap! Making room for BABIES

 

[waiting2012]

Ashe..You ought to get Q his own little computer! Not a real one of course, but they make an educational toy that looks like a laptop... Then maybe you could get some BNB time!

Brooke--can't wait for your next u/s hun! I'm so glad things are going good now..And I know you wouldn't ever consider an A. so you don't have to worry about that--we've all been there hun!

Jenn--I love the pics you keep posting of Cameron on FB! Makes getting on FB worth it--hint, hint to all you guys that don't use it...LOL...Hope his first Fourth of July, was awesome!!

Tanya--how are you?? In labor yet??? Damn, Emma--come on!!!

Andi--I'm so excited for you hun!! That's great about not having to 'fight' for the girls--sounds like your friend realizes where the best place is for them..

Mandy---hope your camping trip was good hun!

Amanda--sorry that your still getting sick..Usually by now the m/s is gone...

I had an alright 4th--stayed in bed mostly..My back has been killing me to the point I can't move, roll over, sit up..I don't know how I'm making it at work.. I took a Norco yesterday--basically low dose of Hydrocodone/tylenol..Seems to help and I don't get drowsy from it..I feel like my slipped discs are slipping more.. I'm not anticipating good numbers next week--my sx are gone, no more nausea, no more sore or swelling in the boob area... I kind of think that is why my back hurts so much..Something is gearing up to happen..just not sure what. I'm ok though--I knew that when the numbers didn't double like they should--something was wrong.
My emotions are so... right now... I just found out that one of the girls (I mean girl as in the youngest of us here other than the baby room helper..) is pregnant... She's 4 months already and went today for her first appointment.. She has a 3 year old with my other co-worker's son; she is taking care of her 3 yr old's half brother since his mother split town and left him with her; the 3 yr old (her's) and the 2 year old (half brother/not hers)--well their daddy is having a fling with the neighbor next door at the apartment they share--and she's F'ing PG! My co-worker told me that J's not making a big deal about it in front of the kids because it's not her son's baby..Co-worker (R) doesn't know who's kid it is..Not sure but I have an idea because there was a man that was hanging around their apartment that was a friend of J's and her baby's daddy--and I think its his.. That would mean her baby would be mixed and if I heard right, J. is planning to give the baby up for adoption since its too late to terminate. I don't know why its so flipping easy for someone to just get layed once and end up pregnant?? AND NOT have problems with their pregnancy...Apparently everyone but me knew about it... I wish she would have said something to me, I feel like I could have talked to Jason--I would adopt her baby, but then again, it would probably be awkward.. Anyhow...I'm in the naproom as she had her first appointment today and they are doing all her labs, u/s, pelvic, etc...I hate that I feel so damn jealous of her... I apologize if that sounds bad, but I just feel like geesh..

And yep, 5 puppies..Momma is a Chipoodle (chiwawa sp?)/poodle mix and the daddy is chiweenie (chiwawa sp?)/weenie dog... Cookie passed--Jason figured that one would because she came out butt first and her head was stuck and he had to pull her out by literally going in after her--UGH GROSS.. But the others were still kicking this am... Jason said the same thing Andi did..He thought we should name them after fireworks...LOL...I named Gypsy, and Wes named Dash (he's the only boy), and Adrian named the rest...

Will try to get the pics of them and post them for you guys...

 

[waiting2012]

The puppies...

 

[waiting2012]

Aweful quiet today..Seems like its been that way since yesterday afternoon...

I'm feeling better, my back quit hurting.. So glad its friday too!

Hope everyone has a good day!

Love to all!

 

[Affyash]

Sorry girl, don't be lonely! Your puppies are adorable, I want one or two or three...

I love babies of all kinds!

I'm so glad you're feeling better, have you had any spotting? Oh please little baby stay for mommy, she wants you so bad! Let us know how you are!

Andi I'm dying to find out about the girls we have to know soon right??

Brooke it sounds like your numbers are holding steady and doing what is normal for the loss of a twin. Big hugs to you and I pray it all works out. I totally understand your original comments, you were devastated. None of us thought you were serious, just very hurt and emotional. Hang in there honey we love you!

 

[TandA08]

Morning ladies! It sure has been quiet on here the last couple days.

Ash, good to hear from you, and yes I hope to see you soon!

Emma has not made her appearance yet - obviously... but I have been walking each day this week. At least 2 miles at a time. Yesterday we actually went for TWO walks - 2 miles EACH! She's just not ready yet I guess.... Full term tomorrow!!! COME ON EMMA!

 

[waiting2012]

Yes, Emma! Come on now!! Tanya thats some little diva you have!
Ashe, no spotting no cramps, nothing... I will have to wait till bloodwork next week... Sucks... I was such a wreck yesterday afternoon... I do feel better though.. Jason took me to Bellas for italian for supper.. Seems I didnt enjoy it as much as I hoped though... But the food was good..

Andi, any new word about the girls??? Im tickled for you sweetie!!!

Ill post more from my computer in a bit. Waiting on my lunch order from the cafe here in town....

 

[bnporter81]

Hi girls...hope you're all doing well.

Not a lot of anything going on here. Still taking my FertilityBlend supplements and hoping that I O. sometime soon...had a little bit of EWCM for a couple of days so that *might* lead to something. Not sure, though.

Steph, I'm sorry your back was hurting and you were feeling down about everythingI hope today is a little better for you. Still hoping and praying that this will be a sticky little bean and stay put for youI agree...it's so unfair how some women conceive so easily who don't even want them in the first placeIt would be great, though, if you could adopt that baby that she's going to give up...at least it would for sure go to a great family/home!

Andi, can't wait to hear about the girls! You must be so excited and anxious!

Tanya, wow, she'll be here any time....so amazing. I hope when it happens that you have a quick, very easy delivery!

Ashe, I'm doing okay...yes, I've been taking the Fertility Blend about 8 days so far...haven't felt weird or anything from taking them so I'm just hoping they'll do some good soonHow are you feeling lately? How's the pelvic rest going?

Jenn, hope you and Cameron are doing great!

Mandy and Amanda, hope the MS is easing up for both of you and you're doing well. I'd love to see some bump pics!

Hope all of you have a great weekend...got a lot to do here so I might not be around much, but I'll check in to make sure I don't miss something important...like a new baby!Hugs

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Brooke I hope you got good news today? I am PRAYING!

As for me the case worker called me back yesterday still just a waiting game. I am so pleased to know that the foster mom has taken initiative on Hayley since shes behind in some things for Kindergarten and is helping her get caught up on some things thank GOD. HE answers prayer!! For now its just waiting game after this court date on July 11th they should be placing them soon thereafter. I pray its before school though but the foster mom has enrolled her in a diff. county school system. I pray that they get them to us before school starts so we don't have to switch them schools that would suck b/c our school starts a week before theirs sooooo the kids would be behind. WHICH WOULD SUCK by a whole week I duno if they would count them absent or what for those days missed. Oh well I have got their bunk beds together.....we are going to wait until they come so they pick out their own sheets and pillows for their bed we want them to know that they have input around here at our house! We are so ready though....I was daydreaming last night about going shopping for their new clothes etc. I can't wait

 

[TandA08]

Steph, my mom made the joke today that the baby can't drop anymore than she has without falling out! Yes, she has dropped quite a bit and I can feel the increase of the pressure down pretty low. It really has to been soon, I can't imagine she'd sit this low for very long! I'm so impatient now...

 

[waiting2012]

Hey ladies on my phone, and it sucks..

Andi and Beth I am praying for you ladies!

Tanya, I bet Emma will be here soon!!

Brooke, I hope you are doing good, hun!

Mandy and Amanda, we need some bump pics!! hope you ladies are doing good!

Jenn, loving the pics you post on FB of Cameron, he is sooo cute!

Ashe, I hope you are feeling ok hun! I cant wait to see your nursery hun! Any news about names?


I spoke to R' today about J's pg since her daughter is R's granddaughter... J is using an adoption agency.. Im glad shes going to do that, but yeah it hurts that her willy-nilly actions were rewarded with a baby...
Some couple is going to be very blessed in 5 months but it won be us..




Well going to bed... Very tired. Hoe ya'll have a good night

 

[Kahlan83]

OMG! Jenn big congrats. I"m so sorry I've been horrible with not checking up on here. I"m so glad that everything went okay and you were able to avoid a C-section! Cameron is adorable!

Steph...so happy your numbers are going up.

Brooke, it's okay sweetie. I know how hard it must have been and no one upset with you. I'm glad your doc is optimistic!

Andi....I"m praying for you to get your girls!

AS for me...morning sickness seems to be pretty much gone and my appetite is back with a vengeance. I've gained back 3 of the 4 lbs I lost. i started feeling little one move this week so that's neat although he/she doesn't move as much as matty did at the same gestation... looking forward to my scan on the 12th and hopefully baby lets me see what they are....can't believe that I only have 22 weeks left.

My ankles swelled up today but not too badly but once I got home they came down a lot Still bigger than normal now though...so much for believing I could avoid that part this time. Trying to drink a lot so that the swelling will continue to drop.

I think my Quinn (my kitty) may have another eye infection. I'm going to watch it tonight and tomorrow to see how ti goes...the last time it was so bad she couldn't open her eye and she ended up giving it ot hte other kitties (no worries about that this time though ) she's not messing with it at all so maybe it's just that she has a watery eye from dust or something.

my camping trip was great, we had awesome weather and the kids were good for hte most part. I ended up getting a migraine but it was minor and went away pretty quickly

As for a bump picture, I"m afraid that won't come until much later. Because I'm a heavy girl my little bump can only be seen if I lift up my other belly and that doesn't look very flattering. Once I'm about 6-7 months I'll pop out and then it will be good.

I'll for sure try and get on more often. Don't want to miss out on Little Emma's arrival like I did Cameron's again...so sorry Jenn

Talk to you all soon. Lots of love

 

[AmandaBaby]

So so so so SOOOO sorry I haven't been on much!! My days pretty much involve working & sleeping lately!! It's crazy, I get home from work at about 5.30ish most afternoons and half the time i'm asleep by 6 or 7pm :\ crazy! I'm just so tired. I feel pretty good today though so i'm taking advantage of it!! I figure i'm never in the mood for sex anymore so given my upbeat feeling I let OH have it tonight hahahaha. It's usually really uncomfortable but it was actually good tonight Lol sorry if that's too much information Haven't had much nausea today as well which is great!! Although it still comes and goes.. mostly comes -.- and i'm still throwing up usually every 2-3 days ergh!! My appetite is slowly coming back but not by much.. Hope it does soon though!!

We went for an early ultrasound last Saturday to try and see if we were having a little boy or girl but the damn cord was in the way and bubba was pushed right up against my lining so we weren't able to find out I go back on Thursday though for a rescan so fingers crossed!! The lady did say though that if she had to guess, she'd say about a 75% chance of it being a girl Cannot wait to find out!! I wanna be out buying pink or blue things haha. I've already got so many toys on lay-by though it's insane All the major department stores here (like Target) have toy sales in June/July every day and they do lay-by's until December so I went and put one on for about $350 of JUST TOYS!! Plus I have another one for $100 and we bought a few things the other day totalling to about $100 as well, so that's like $550 on TOYS... SO FAR!!! Hahaha oops, I figure though they they will most likely last baby the year because they range from different months A lot of the toys are gender specific though so I'll be able to take a few things back which is good

I have my first antenatal appointment on Wednesday morning too!! So that should be exciting! And my proper 20ish week scan is booked for the 28th July when i'll be 21 weeks my private scan next week doesn't give pictures though so i'm hoping to maybe buy one or two. I think it's like $10 for one though Bit silly!

I think that's mainly everything that's been happening with me though!!

I've missed out on so so much over the last few weeks, I don't even know where I lost track, so everyone fill me in gonna do my best to get on here at least every day of two so I don't get too much behind, fingers crossed my nausea and tiredness will ease so I can do so!!!

So again! But even though I haven't been on, i've thought of you all constantly You girls are truly amazing!! xxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[AmandaBaby]

Oh and here's a bump photo from 16 weeks & 6 days
I had just eaten though so it probably isn't the most accurate photo!
I'll try and take a better one tomorrow

 

[TandA08]

Mandy - glad your morning sickness is gone and exciting that you are feeling baby move!!!

Amanda - so great to hear from you and glad to hear that you are feeling better too! Sounds like you have gone crazy buying toys! Can't wait to hear what you are having, I vote girl too! Love your bump pic!

For me... well.... Full term today!!! Had AF like cramps from about 3:30am to about 8am this morning, down low and even some in the lower back. Then a bout of diahrea this afternoon. I've done nothing but sit on the couch and read today. I seem to be feeling better, and I'm tempted to go do some grocery shopping... But I might just wait till tomorrow... we'll see....

 

[calebsmom06]

sorry I havent been on much, I am sooo tired I stay pretty busy with baby and trying to keep things up. My mom will be here tues-fri so hopefully she will help Cameron is one week and 1 day already!

Tanya- for 2-3 days before I went into labor I was having diarrehea then, the night before my water broke I went grocery shopping and was having horrible back oains and hip pains and come to find out it was early labor that evening! I ate fresh pineapple that day and that evening had eggplant parm. which I found in the frozen section of the dept store, they say that helps you go into labor IF your body is ready, I didnt think it would really work but either it did or it was just coincidence Maybe worth a try Sounds to me like your body is ready. And at least those things are natural items I hear so many stories of people using castor oil and doing all this plain weird stuff that can actually hurt you. Also I used my big yoga ball and bounced or swayed my hips for 20-30 min each day the last 2 weeks

Steph when is your next doc appoint or blood results?

I cant stay on long baby is in my arms, he is already spoiled, when I lay him down he cries he wants to be on my chest, I guess he like to hear my heartbeat He even sleeps right next to me:/ He will start out in his bassinet but by middle of the night he is right with me. Guess I should enjoy it while I can Hope everyone is doing well!
