I spent all of yesterday trying to plan bots of our wedding that I got so stressed out!! When OH asked what I wanted for dinner I nearly cried coz my mind couldn't deal with it lol and then this morning I was supposed to be at work at 7.30 and I forgot!! So got in 30 mins late!!! Then we had a budget meeting for the new financial year and we have a lot of targets we have to do usually. Actually it isn't even that much. We only HAD to get 4 Converted sales a week and ask 20 people about a sale a day. Anyway, they upped it to 12 converted sales a week!!! And made it even harder about what we could ask people about!!!! I feel sp stressed, I just wanna start maternity leave!! Jenn how did you deal with having to make sales? Any tips? I suck at the best of times haha gladbro hearnyou and Cameron are both doing well too


Haha Tanya I most.definitely went crazy!! We hopefully find out on Thursday, fingers crossed!! 3 days!! Yay!

Well I hope everyone is well xx

Tanya thats how I felt with labor with my Trysten I felt AF type cramps and thought I had eaten too much or something and kept blowing it off...if you keep having them get checked I wasn't in too much pain and got to the hospital at a 4 and 20 minutes later was a 6 cm....so things go fast sometimes when you don't feel they are going anywhere! I also got very sick and started to feel lots of nausea....and then wiped and blood....so thats when I freaked out I'd never had labor before except being induced...and it didn't go anywhere and didn't feel anything like with Trysten....Tyler is the one I was induced because my water had broken at 36 and a half weeks....so he was a little early But I pray baby comes soon Tanya this is exciting.

As for me today I've had lots of pelvic pain I think I give up....really. The birth control is making me very sick lately thats why I'm not on a lot anymore. I feel to crappy to do anything lately. Well I guess I better get in bed for now its nearly 1 am. Yesterday I was up more than 24 hours I was tired so I slept half the day woops!!! I've been crazy busy lately and me and DH also went out last night and had a blast.......well I am suppose to be off the BCPills on the 16th....so we are almost there. A week left!

 

[bnporter81]

Hi girls...hope everyone had a good weekend

Jenn, my 2 boys always ended up laying beside me when they were really little...such a special bonding time. I'm glad the two of you are doing well. Is the swelling in your feet gone yet? I know mine took almost 2 weeks to go away

Andi, sorry you've felt so bad lately...like you said, at least another week and you'll be off them. I hope you get some good news soon on the girls and then you can have fun going out and buying all kinds of cute little girly stuff for them....so exciting!

Steph, how are you doing? When do they do another test on your numbers? Praying for you that they go up, hon

Ashe, any news on a house or are you just going to stay where you're at for a while longer?

Amanda, I loved your bump pic...and sorry that work is stressing you out so bad. Try not to let it get to you and just take one thing and one day at a time. Everything will work outOh, and I bet it's a girl, too

Mandy, it's exciting to hear that your little one is moving around now. I think that must be one of the best feelings there is...and I understand about the bump pic. I'm not exactly on the skinny side either...I don't usually start showing good until around 5 or 6 months

Brooke, how are you doing? Any new news? Praying for you and little bean, hon.

Well, I had a big, almost 1 degree temp jump this morning, but I'm not getting excited over it yet because I went to bed at almost 2 this morning and then woke up 4.5 hours laterGuess I'll just have to wait and see what the next few mornings look like, but DH and I BD'd on Saturday afternoon and then again this morning so if I did O. already then maybe my chances will be decent

Hope everyone has a great week!

 

[waiting2012]

Ok, where to begin...

Amanda--LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your bump hun!! I'm sorry that your bubba or bubbette wasn't cooperating with you during your last u/s... That just stinks..LOL... Sorry to hear about work--you def got the preggo brain and sleepiness going on! It will get better...

Mandy--Glad that your trip went soo good! Don't stress about your bump hun! I'm a big girl too! I usually show a bit early but that's mostly bloat--not having much of that right now, so I don't know..BUT I'm glad things are going so good, and its so nice to feel the LO move around!

Tanya--Now this is only my opinion--but I would be up walking, walking, walking...Sitting just alleviates the feeling of cramping, etc and may feel good at the moment-but let gravity do it's thing! Plus you might try the things that Jenn and Andi suggested! I had an extremely long labor with Wes, but my bff had very quick (2-3 hours including pushing) with her two..They almost made it before the doctor did! ..She never felt any contractions or anything like that--her waterbreaking was the only thing that told her the girls were coming..

Andi--I'll be glad when you get off that BC! I hate that its making you sick hun! Still seems silly to me that they put you back on them..Seems like 2 steps forward, 1 step back.. How is everything coming a long in regards to the girls?

Jenn--Can't believe Cam's already a week old! Time flies so much faster when they arrive, ya know! I'm still glad your sharing hun! Hopefully, one day we can all be posting baby pics on here!

Ashe--How is the house hunting coming along? I think you mentioned that you may be stuck in your current house till the baby comes?? I don't remember--but I hope physically your feeling good, and the house thing will sort itself out!

Brooke--How are you doing sweetie? I hope you are excited hun! We are excited for you!!

Beth--That is great news about the temps! Remember-- in August!! I just know it's coming for you sweetie!!! Keep the bd'ing up if you can! It'll help!

As for me--Had my labs drawn today--will find out wednesday what they are. Dr. Edwards spoke to me a bit about things--He said if the numbers do not go up, he still wants and u/s done next week. He will then figure out if this is a viable pregnancy, or one that he needs to help along as far as m/c'ing.. Talked about my back--it was fine for a while but today it started so bad again, and I don't like taking the pain meds so I used an anti-inflammatory rub on it--he said that may be just the loosening of the ligaments, etc but he can't guarantee that means all is good elsewhere. He didn't say anything about my not following his orders, but he did ask me if I had considered if and when at what point I want to to permentantly "stop" trying..In otherwords, tubal or vasectomy.. Kind of hurt because I figured he's the doctor, he should be trying to figure out why it keeps happening.. Oh well, I half hearted already knew one of us was going to have to get fixed if this kept happening.. :shrugg: I can't be fustrated about it, it is what it is.. I pray to God to make something happen--at this point I don't care what--just something..

Well, I won't be on much with my phone--its acting up really bad and we have to wait till september to get new phones... But I'll be here when I've got a good connection.. I'm going to check on my FB stuff, and will try to make it back later..

Love and hugs ladies!!

Sorry if I forgot anyone!

 

[Kahlan83]

Hey ladies.

Nothing new and exciting going on with me....

I had a mild migraine this morning but I think it was because I had onion rings ad fries yesterday but didn't drink a lot of water. when josh got home he told me to take a nap so I feel a little better but my head still hurts a bit.

Baby is moving a lot so I'm happy for that. Still a little worried about baby...just because of the risks of spina Bifita in my family and the fact that for the first 3 months I couldn't keep anything down including my pre natal.

Thursday is the level 2 scan but here in Canada they don't tell you gender right away because of legal repercussions so I have to wait until my actual ob appt on July 25th...at least that's what usually happens but I guess we'll find out for sure.

My belly is a lot more rounder and harder but I think that's more just because baby is pushing all my organs up. I am getting more heartburn but it's still not as bad as when I was having matty and it's usually when I'm trying to sleep.

Matty keeps saying the baby's name is Alyson...so maybe that's a sign of a girl!

I'm praying for you Steph. In my heart I want to believe that this is your LO that you get to bring home. Don't be down, We're all here for you!

 

[waiting2012]

Lots of love to you Mandy! I love the name! Aly...??? For short??

Hope ya'll have a good night!!

Lots of love ladies, till tomorrow!!

 

[Kahlan83]

Lots of love to you Mandy! I love the name! Aly...??? For short??

Hope ya'll have a good night!!

Lots of love ladies, till tomorrow!!

yeah that's what we were thinking but we're avoiding calling the baby anything but baby right now until we know for sure....

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I haven't heard anything on the girls probably won't til after the 11th. We will see what happens trying not to think about it making myself pure sick waiting and not knowing and PRAYING everyday. I've been so sick so I decided hell WHY NOT PEE ON A TEST....oh geeze so last night I thought I saw something an said well NO WAY...I'm on birth control there is NO WAY....ok IM CRYING dammit grrr.....I'm SO EMOTIONAL so I took two today....this morning was negative but I swear.....theres a line an I duno...could BCP cause me to get false pos? I duno maybe its just evaps who knows at this point!?!?!?! GRRR!

 

[TandA08]

Steph, mom and I have been walking 2 miles a day - except yesterday when I was feeling pretty sick again.

Jenn, I have one of those exercise balls too, and have been sitting on it daily. I seem to get pretty strong contractions at their worst in the evening. My next Dr appt is on Friday, so I'm hoping they will check me this time to see if I've started dilating yet!

Other than that, that's all that I've been up to. Mom and I try to get out of the house each day and do something, yesterday was a grocery shopping trip to Costco, the day before was grocery shopping at the regular grocery store and at Target for the smaller items. Plus our walks like I mentioned. I really am just ready for Emma to be here... tired of the waiting game, tired of the discomfort. Baby has dropped so low, I just can't imagine her hanging out there much longer!

 

[waiting2012]

Andi--I def see something on those hpts! I'm not sure I'd call them evaps--I mean they are thick and compared to the lines on the opk--they seem to have a pale color too..Maybe your sick feeling is morning sickness?? ... I think it would be wonderful if a bean made its way in there despite all that has been going on!! Fingers crossed hun!! So tomorrow--we'll know about the girls huh?? Can't wait!! I'm so excited for you!! Seems like everyone has something to find out this week...You'll find about the girls, and I'll get my numbers back.. Tanya has an appointment coming up, so does Mandy! Hope I have good news so I don't spoil it for everyone else...LOL

Tanya--keep it up hun! We are rooting for you!! I hope you aren't one of the first-timers that goes 2 weeks late..UGH..That would SUCK!!

Jason has been worried about me, and now he's got me wondering..I've not slept walked since I was a kid and even then I only did it like once or twice... He asked me last night if I was feeling sick, I told him I felt fine, just tired.. He said I was up 3-4 times in the middle of the night, but I only remember getting up at 445am to pee and then back to bed until my alarm went off at 545am.. I hate to think I'm getting up wandering around the house all hours of the night and don't remember doing it..SO who knows...Might explain why my back hurts so much again lately--I'm getting up in the middle of the night..God only knows what I'm doing..LOL..

Going to my FB games as usual, but I'll try to check back in a bit..
Lots of love and hugs!!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I doubt I'll know for 100% where the girls will be placed but I will find out a few things more about the case that will be helpful I still gotta get pics an put on here of their bunk beds so far. Next payday going to try and get a dresser to put in their room just in case I don't wanna just get them and not have money to get what they need I wanna buy bits and pieces here and there that we can afford

 

[waiting2012]

Sounds Great Andi!!

Have to get back to work..UGH..Its only tuesday...


Everyone have a good night, if I don't make it back today!
Love and Hugs!

 

[bnporter81]

Hope everyone is doing well...nothing really new except that I discarded that 98.2 degree temp from the other day. Back to waiting, waiting, and more waiting

everyone

 

[TandA08]

Morning ladies! Well, it was a super hot day yesterday, got up to 100(F)!!! So needless to say mom and I didn't go for a walk... It's supposed to be slightly cooler today, so hopefully we can make it for a walk this evening.

Sure quiet on here, hope everyone is well!

 

[waiting2012]

Good Day Ladies... No news yet, and I haven't had the chance to call Dr.E's office..I hope court is going ok for Andi! Tanya, sorry it was too hot to walk yesterday, here's to hoping today is better... Beth, any particular reason you discarded your temp? I hope something happens soon for ya!!

I hope all you ladies are doing good..This has been a shitty day today so far.. One of the puppies kept me up most of the night crying even though it's momma was right there; my phone rang here at work went to silence it and whacked my head hard on a shelf--I haven't felt right since (dizzy, etc) OH Well.. Then got my ass handed to me about a cabinet that my boss and I discussed moving a long time ago--needless to say I had moved it a F'ing week ago and she just NOW noticed it! so anyways, we have anchors on the cabinet to keep it from being a topple hazard and I had screwed them temporarily--she was pissed about that-and now wants the f'ing cabinet moved back, BUT instead of me just doing it--she wants me to get our church handyman to come and move it, and screw the anchors back in place. She doesn't give a flying rats ass that it looks better where it is and makes for a better placement of a "center" for the kids. She could have chewed my ass and said get the Church handyman to screw the anchors in better for you--F NO! I'm so sick of her..Why did I even come back here? I know there are a lot of other jobs I can do, and now I'll probably get wrote up, yadda yadda, but she can't afford to fire me, my parents are referrals from other parents I have had--lose me--she risks losing kids too.. :doh: I give the F'-Up.. My head hurts and my emotions are all screwed.. Sorry for ranting... still feel shitty, but at least its out there...
Hope ya'll are having a better day than I am...

 

[Kahlan83]

hi Ladies...

Andi...I for sure see lines on both the Pg & the OB tests. they kind of look like mine started out...so F'x

Steph I'm still holding out for you and i pray that you get good news.

Well, the technician said that she was pretty sure that we are having a little girl!

I have to go back on the 26th because they couldn't get clear pictures of everything and they'll be able to confirm for sure if she was correct about the gender.

What she told me was that they're not allowed to tell you unless they're sure and she said she saw most of three lines but her little legs were tight and high so it blocked the rest of the view so there's still a chance there could be something a little extra hiding but probably not.

i did get a profile picture but We're just having lunch and then heading to the zoo so I'll have to scan it and post it later...it's not the clearest picture but she had her little hand right on her cheek which made it difficult to get good pictures of her face.


Josh and matty got to come in and see. Josh has already started to worry about boyfriends. lol.

I hope everyone else had a great day!

 

[TandA08]

Oh Steph, I'm so sorry about your rough day yesterday! Hope you're feeling better today!

Mandy!!! How exciting - you're little girl!!!! Can we say..... BABY SHOWER!? I sure hope you get to have one!!

 

[bnporter81]

Mandy, so exciting about your US...you must be anxious to find out if it is in fact a girl!

Steph, I'm so sorry you had a rough day...I hope your head is better todayTo answer your question, the night before I got that high 98.2 temp I didn't go to bed until 2 a.m. and then got up around 6 so I don't really think it would have been accurate...that's why I discarded it. On a bright side, I guess, my temp has been staying between 97.2 and 97.5, but mostly 97.3...it's been that way for a little while so that's a lot better than the way it's been my last several cycles

Tanya, how are you feeling? Do you think it's getting close?

Jenn, hope you and the little one are doing good

Ashe, how is your pelvic rest going? Anything new going on?

Andi, any news yet on the girls? Have you taken any more tests to see if they've gotten darker?

 

[AndreaFlorida]

All negatives .....I give up on the pregnant thing i want the girls hehe

 

[Kahlan83]

I ended up telling my mom to not worry about having a shower...if anyone wants to buy the baby something they can but I don't want anyone feeling obligated and it will just be more trouble than it's worth....besides with the baby coming so close to christmas, it will just be added expenses for people at a hard time of year.

My SIL is going to be sending us some clothes since both my nieces were born in late fall and my GF's sister had a little girl last december so she'll probably be giving me some stuff too. It's going to be hard not to go and buy cute little summer outfits, cuz by the time she'd be ready for them she'd be like 6 months old....

I actually had some pickles today...Josh made fun of me and i just said...I liked pickles before I was pregnant so shut up.

so almost half way done....20 weeks on Sunday!

I"m sorry andi. I thought i saw lines on those tests....let's pray for you to get your girls!
