~S.T.L<3~*Lots of babies, Adoption and Waiting for Beth's BFP! <3

[AndreaFlorida]

Tanya I'm so sorry that really sucks bless your heart and I'm sure the baby bump didn't help any getting all in the way trying to clean up the truck....so sorry darling...stupid stupid KIDS! Where do you think these kids parents are in the middle of the night...gahhhh pisses me off! Its been in high 90's here and the humidity is rediculous I hate Florida during the Summer!

 

[waiting2012]

We still don't have a baby yet, Tanya... Sorry to hear about your window..That absolutely stinks! Hope your insurance will help pay to have it replaced..And I agree with Andi--to have that happen and then have to clean it up with the baby bump and the swelling..UGH.. Hope today is a better day for you!

Andi--so you start the injections tomorrow? Is that right?? I'm sorry to hear of your breakthrough bleeding.. I know you want this to be THE cycle, and I pray it is! I so want good things for you! How is the job hunting coming and did you get your FAFSA stuff done? Seems like a lot of stupid questions when you are filling it all out, but it really doesn't take that long..LOL

Jenn--Don't ever feel like since having Cameron, we want you to leave.. So your baby is here--NO BIG DEAL! We want you to stick around and share all those pics of Cam that you can! I can't believe he is already almost a month old!! I think if you want to try for a girl, then do so because you never know! I mean, so what if your debt free--its a nice idea in an ideal world, but who is ever debt free?? I respect your decision either way, just giving you my opinion... I hope you to get the financial aide so that you can get the Medical Billing--That would be a great way to have income coming in and get to spend time watching Cam grow!!

Mandy--Can't wait to see more u/s pics of Aly! Its hard to believe that your half way there already... Sounds great that you have such a good doctor--he sounds like he's good.. Hope Matty is doing good and getting excited about his little sister coming! As far as the baby shower--honey, let your mom throw it for you.. Invite who you would want to be there, and you might be surprised at the amount of support you get from family and friends, especially since this is a girl coming! Instead of doing it in November--maybe have her throw it in October--then there is plenty of time between then and Christmas--and finances may be managable for people to get a "GIRL" gift for Aly.. Or if not that--what about a Diaper and Bottle Party?? Have the guests bring a package of diapers or a package of bottles--thats not to unreasonable--you can still have a cake, and stuff and all your friends can celebrate Aly's arrival with you and Josh!

Ashe, Amanda, Brooke--How are you ladies??? I hope those babe's are doing good!! Can't wait for u/s and bump pics from you ladies! Gives us waiting something to look forward to..

Beth--how was the birthday?? Hope it was good for the kids--I'm sorry, I don't remember if you said it was your son's or daughter's.. How is the cycle going? No AF yet? Did your OPK ever go ++ like you thought it was fixing to??

AFM... We may have OOP'ED... We bd'ed last tuesday and wednesday morning before the appointment, and well, can't keep the hubby down--and I was wanting to, to..SO we bd'ed thursday morning too.. Jason didn't see the harm considering.. I'm not saying anything will come of it, but since friday--I've had these mild-to-strong AF type cramps, they are probably just a building up of the pending bleeding, but there are other things I noticed this weekend.. My boobs are sore to the touch and I keep having one weird dream after another.. Just really random stuff.. If I go by what Dr. Edwards said according to my U/S and that ovary and possible ovulation occurring--I'm probably 5-6 days out.. I don't how that affects anything.. Maybe just wishful thinking, but the 3 times I got up to pee this morning and nearly throwing up after the second time--I wonder.. I have this strong sence of peace right now, and Jenn--I know, In God's Time.. I'm just leaving it to Him. I've been praying everyday that if He does let it happen so soon again, to at least this one be the one we hold, I told God my heart is breaking and I'm not sure how much more I can do or how long I can keep up the hope of a future baby coming into lives. I have another U/S on wednesday to check progress of what is bound to happen, and more blood work--But I'm ok. Really.. I only mentioned the above because I talk to Jason about it, and he makes me feel crazy. I don't like feeling crazy. I know my body though... I also took my temps over the weekend and this morning--just curious is all-- Saturday am--98.3, Sunday am--98.5, this morning it was 98.9.. My usual temp is 97.0 something..... What's crazier is the amount of absolute PEACE I have right now.. I'm sooooo... PEACEFUL! Its odd... No stress, no worries (not even in regards to the bills..LOL).. I feel like I'm floating on a cloud right now, its the most euphoric feeling...Does that make any sence?? And I was being really stupid and looked up the "What-if" date if God is planning something we aren't totally prepared for--April 9th... That was my due date with Wesley that got moved to April 5th.. I asked Wes--if I got pregnant by God's will not ours, mind you--how did he feel if all he got for his 18th birthday is a brother or sister----he just shook his head and laughed..So did Jason and I.. I'm rambling I know..And about something I shouldn't be, like I said, I just have to say to someone else that won't look at me like I'm an absolute nimrod for feeling soooo... Good... I'm so ready to get the next 3 weeks over with, so I can feel "normal" again, I guess but I hope this euphoria sticks around though..

OH, yeah.. Guess what I got in the mail saturday.. I know it's just something I got from signing up LAST DECEMBER--but it was odd that it came saturday--a small container of formula... Doesn't expire till 2015--so I told Jason we'd save it just in case.. It was odd too--because when I was pg with Adrian I got little single serving samples--this was a whole can of formula! LOL..Should I worry or wonder if the next thing is a package of diapers in the mail... Ok, I know--I've either absolutely lost my ever loving mind or my "angels" are sending me hints..
I have FB games to get to..LOL.. Jenn I will look for that link--I'll vote every chance I get if it'll let me!!

 

[waiting2012]

After pondering how crazy I must be right now and how I sound as crazy.. Before leaving work all the way to now, at home.. I feel like I have been punched in the woohoo ... Right in the center too.. God I hope its a good sign of things doing what they should be doin.. But there is this part of memwonders..lol..

Sorry for typos on my phone.. I just realized some of what I feel may be because I have craved water and drank so much today that I probably have gills.. I hope its not a uti on top of everything else...ugh...


Lots of love ladies! Love this Rambling Idiot... Lol

 

[calebsmom06]

Well I am trying again, I guess we will see if the pictures upload this time:/ So far it seems to be taking forever so maybe not I am wondering if it may be my computer
Steph-I did start doing the medical coding and billing course online, no financial aide, I am just paying for it monthly, it seems we make to much to qualify for any aide unfortunatley. Some aide would be great once in awhile but no such luck there. I know with medical coding and billing that you do not technically HAVE to have a certificate or degree to even do it but I figured that it would be easier to place a job if you have one so decided to get it done.
Tanya-So sorry about your truck! That sucks that that happen. Some people just have no respect for other peoples things and thinks destroying things is fun and games I found out my friend that had the baby she was 40.4 weeks with a 5lb 13oz baby! He is tiny!
Andi-hope this cycle works for you!
Sorry got to go baby just started crying. Sorry I didnt get to respond to everyone but I will try to gert on later and do it

 

[Kahlan83]

so for matty's first birthday I made a video and i've been meaning to put it in my youtube account forever... take a look if you want but just to warn you it's long so make sure you have some time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPFTwHwEJ5Q&list=HL1343095981&feature=mh_lolz

have a good night everyone

 

[waiting2012]

Hello Ladies..Just on my morning break, charging my phone..

Mandy--I will def check out your video while on my lunch break... From the looks of it, it's going to be cute!

Jenn--Maybe you'll be able to get help finishing your Medical Billing stuff now that Cameron's here and your on maternity leave. FASFA likes when people are wanting to improve themselves and their situations financially...But I do understand the fact that sometimes you have to show that you have a "need" before being approved for the help...

AFM this am... 7 days out--and no bleeding yet..I thought for sure I had begun to late last night and this morning--but nope...Just really wet cm...not hurting in the woohoo area so far, but we'll see how it is after a full day of working... I was up at 1:30 am to pee..WTH??? and then up at 5:30 to pee... That's the usual time..LOL... Felt a little nauseas again after getting up at 5:30--but layed back in bed till a little before 6..I'm anxious to get the next U/S done and find out what's going on... I was hoping the lining was breaking down from the amount of pain I had last night right in the center but I don't know... I still feel pretty good though otherwise.. I'll check back in at lunch. Hope everyone is having a great day so far..

 

[AndreaFlorida]

ADORABLE video of Matty Thanks Mandy Thats awesome! I wish I had the common sense to do that for my boys LOL....but I'm blonde haha....I have pics and videos just wouldn't know how to get the clips of the videos on the clip for the ONE video LOL....if that made sense. Going to our 8th adoption class tonight one more week from today we are adoptee parents I have no clue when we will get the girls....but it should be within the next few weeks

 

[waiting2012]

YAY ANDI!! That is such great news!! Just a few weeks huh?? And congrats on making it to the last class!!! So happy for you hun!!!



Mandy--going to check the video out! I agree with Andi--I wish I had had the sence to do that with mine..

 

[waiting2012]

Mandy--Got to watch some of your video--the phone rang here at work and my computer went nutty..LOL... You are right it's long--I might have to see bits and peices of it as I can because I lose my connection when the phone rings..But I admit--5 minutes in and I was tearing up.. I can just imagine what I'll see when I get to see more--I'll probably be a basket case when I'm done watching it..LOL..

 

[bnporter81]

Hi girls...a lot going on here but we're back from Missouri and yesterday we switched from Directv to Dish and it took forever to get it set up and trying to figure it all out

Mandy, I loved that video collage....I was starting to cry a bit myself. He's such an adorable little boy

Andi, that's great news about the girls!! I know you can't wait

Steph, you said you had another US tomorrow, right? I'm not really sure how you're wanting the US to go, but I hope it works out the best way possible I hope your temp. increase, and nausea and sore boobs mean good things for you. Maybe your numbers are starting to go up and this pregnancy is still viable??Whatever the case is, I'm sending you lots and lots of sticky baby dustIt's good to hear that you're feeling so peaceful about everythingI can't wait to hear how it all goes

Nothing new for me. My OPKs have been semi-dark for a few days. I had a big temp increase yesterday but took it out because the night before I went to bed late and woke up early. Then today my temps are back to the usual (here lately) 97.3. I'm going to keep using the fertility blend for another month or so and then if nothing really changes I guess I'll go back on the BC for a few months. If that doesn't help then I'll be at my 1 year mark for TTC and I'll go to the doctor and I'm pretty positive he will put me on clomid. Just trying to do everything possible on my end and exhaust all other options first. Yes, I hate going to the doctor

Tanya, no baby yet?! Bless your heart! I hope your little girl comes soon for you

Jenn, your little boy must be getting so big! I know how you feel about missing the feeling of movement in your belly....you miss it so much when it's gone. Even though you can hold your baby and that in itself is WONDERFUL...it's just not the same feeling. It's been two years since I was pregnant and I still miss it

Amanda and Ashe, I hope you girls are doing well. Take care of yourselves and update us when you can!

Gonna run for now and get hubby up and ready for work. My DD is at my sisters house visiting for a few days and I really miss her My two boys decided just now (at almost 5 p.m.) to take their nap for the dayI guess they'll be up all night

Hugs everyone

 

[waiting2012]

Just heading home..Glad I checked in..

Beth--I was wondering about you..I'm very absent minded it seems and forgot about your trip..LOL.. I'm hoping for something either way.. I have no idea what they'll find tomorrow.. I have blood work too. I know they'll be drawing blood next week and the week after I believe and not sure if this is for scans for sure or if it all depends on what is seen... I appreciate your thoughts sweetie.. I'm praying something comes of your temps and you'll have clearer answers.. I worry that you still haven't had an AF yet because of all this--I think you ought to have that checked out hun.. Well, Jason just called, and I need to get going..

Ttyl, lots of love and hugs!!

 

[Kahlan83]

Andi, Awesome news about the girls!

Steph, I've still got my f'x for you but either way I'm here for you babe.

Beth you never know what might happen. Only time will tell.

Glad you all liked the video...I won't make one for every year because that one took a long time to put together but I will do one for every kid I haves first year and then maybe one when they're like 20 or something. lol.

Hope you all had a wonderful day!

 

[waiting2012]

Hi ladies... Had my appt this am.. Jason is driving me back to work... What I know so far-no visible sign of the sac now.. The vaginal u/s they did has made me crampy, the girl who did it this time I think was a little rough.. Dr.Edwards seems to think just a matter of time now for the lining to break down, and he advised me to take my provera for the next 7 days, then another blood test if that test is still showing there is hcg, he will have another U/S done. Doesnt make sence to me, but he thinks if there is a 50/50 chance of another conception, he wants the pg monitored closely and he also had blood drawn to check for Lupus and other immune/antibody disorders. I'm surprised he is being so thorough this time. But I'm not going to complain, finally someone is taking these multiple losses seriously. I will check back in at lunch time. Love to all..

 

[TandA08]

Hi ladies. Sorry I didn't check in yesterday. It's just been one hit after another. My mom adopted a dog Friday night, sweetest thing ever, and he has been getting along great with our 2 dogs. But then yesterday while mom and I were gone, hubby found him attacking our old blind dog. He had to pull him off her and she has puncture wounds near her eye and in her ear. That was more than mom and I can take, we had to take him back to the shelter last night and return him. We cried the whole way there, the whole way home, and everytime I woke up to pee last night I cried myself back to sleep. We had fallen in love with that dog and to have to take him back broke our hearts, but with our other dogs, and a new baby on the way, we just can't have that risk. I have a vet appt for our dog tomorrow to have her wounds just double checked. Hubby cleaned them pretty well, and she's probably fine, but we just want to have them checked.

........ It's been a REALLY rough week, and yeah, Emma's not here yet - maybe for the best at this point. No need for her to arrive in the middle of all this crap. We'll see what the OB says on Friday. Today I think I'm just going to sleep all day - or well most of it anyway...

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Good news my cyst did shrink from 4.42 cm down to now 1.92 cm so its much smaller still hurts but its nice that its gone down not as much pain now and I can start injections today

 

[waiting2012]

Yay Andi!! That's great news about the cyst! God is working miracles right now--He's healing you of that cyst!! God Is Great!!

Tanya--Sorry to hear about the dog hun..It is def probably better though..It's possible the other dog was not used to having to "share" it's time with other animals like that..More of a "one dog/family" thing... You did what was right and hopefully, they'll find the "right" home for him. I know that probably sounded shitty..I just mean that... Oh, hell..You know what I mean I'm sure. Look forward to hearing about your appointment on friday!! Sounds great! Just let her stew a little longer..She'll come when she's ready! ...

I'm feeling blah... I don't know..I'm not down about the u/s, and what we found out, but just ehh'...That u/s tech that did my u/s today--man, I just want to go and punch her in the va-jay-jay.. .. I cramp, then stop, cramp, then stop.. I thought a felt some gushes and was like "oh shit"--but no blood.. But I feel like there is still a probe up there pushing into my cervix... Damn.. I know us big girls make it hard for u/s's to be done, but todays was the absolute worst! .. Other than that..I'm a bit down, but not because I'm waiting to bleed..I don't know why really... Last night Jason went and used the internet at McD's, called and asked if I wanted anything before he came home, I told him no, but when he got home--I was a ball bag because he didn't "surprise" me by getting me something he knows I would not ask for usually--a cherry mash.. UMMM... Did he get me one--HELL NO... I was a f'ing mess--and then he fixed me an ice cream brownie sundae and I was like a damn kid getting what they want even though they threw a fit.. ALL WAS GOOD WITH THE WORLD!!

So we'll see how the rest of the day goes.. Woopee...

copy/paste then go to vote, Camerons pic is the same as my profile pic on here...ill check back in a bit...oh and u can vote once each day starting today

 

[bnporter81]

Andi, great news about your cyst! If the cyst was causing any of the problem with conceiving then maybe it shrinking will helpSending lots of baby dust to you this cycle...

Tanya, I'm so sorry about returning the dog and about your dog as well. I definitely agree you made the right decisionYou don't need a dog that would do that to another dog around a baby.Can't wait to see if there's any change at your appt. tomorrowToday is my youngest son's birthday....it would be cool if Emma came today

Steph, I'm sorry the US didn't go betterI think sometimes when it comes to doctors or nurses or US techs bedside manner has a lot to do with it. Something that they have to do might be painful for the patient but they could try to be as gentle as they can or act like they care or at least say, "I'm sorry, I know that must be uncomfortable". Something like that. I hope your cramping has eased up and you're feeling a little bit better today, hon

Hope everyone has a great day...

 

[AndreaFlorida]

The cyst only showed up for 2 months then went away its not the big issue LOL my tubes and DH's swimmers are the biggggg issue but they are doing better than they were left has completely stopped working.....my left tube/ovary everything nothing works over there so I ovulate every time from the right which is a great thing

 

[TandA08]

Well..... another night, a new morning, and still no Emma. Dr appt tomorrow....

Our dog is looking a little better this morning, but we are still taking her to the vet this afternoon - puncture wounds can get nasty fast. Yesterday she moped around like she just wasn't feeling well, like she felt beat up. Our younger dog seemed depressed yesterday like he was missing the dog we had to take back. I think we were all rather blah yesterday, hopefully today will be a better day.

Steph I'm sorry you're feeling blah too, must be going around!
