[AndreaFlorida]

I know this is WEIRD....but emmm...when I wipe it smells like there is "blood" in my discharge stuff.....I duno....but smells weird....WHO knows WHAT my body is doing LOL!!! I don't SEE any blood....but the TP (TMI I KNOW) smells like a tiny amt. of bleeding or when I O I get spotting an it smells the same...I bet my AF is gonna come early darn it!

Steph have fun at CHOIR I should seriously get into something like that.....so our home study is MONDAY omgosh....then I know 3 weeks later is a follow up then the week after that should be......yep...you guessed it......PLACEMENT! OMGOSH! I duno WHO will get them but I'm thinking we will since we had to do 2 sets of prints yesterday one for prior to adoption then the other is supposed to be for after but they went ahead an did them on us OMGOSH

 

[waiting2012]

I bet you get your blazing bfp and the girls Andi!!! I so see it happening for ya like that!
Here I thought I was the only one who noticed stuff like that..lol.. yes my cm has a weird odor too.. and it it's yellowy in color.. could be the yeast infection causing it hun.. and I still think your eggo is preggo cause you are having quite a time with things that hormones could reek havoc on..

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I duno....I'm sooo sick DH wants me to go back to the doc an so does my mom...but I told them what good is it gonna honestly do me I went to the ER the other day an they did nothing..went 3 weeks ago to the doc for it an they gave me Allegra....NOTHING is working for it...oh and I had sudafed I took as well it didn't work either I think honest I need another FULL round of antibiotics not ones I just have laying around


I duno smells bloodish I duno doesn't smell like anything an not really much of any discharge...I duno....who knows I bet AF comes early because of me bein so sick

Hi girls! I hope everyone is doing well!

Steph I'm ecstatic to hear how the appointment goes today! Keep us posted and massive positive vibes and good luck to you!!

Andi I'm so sorry you're feeling so crummy lately. I'm going to agree with Steph and say that your eggo is preggo! So hopeful for you! I noticed that my cm starts to smell somewhat metallic or "bloody" the further I get along in this pregnancy. I so hope it's a sign for you!!

Beth have you really not started your period yet? WTF girl? When did your doc say you could get in to get some meds? I feel for you, but I hope I missed the update that AF actually came. xoxo

Tanya I am so sorry to hear about Emma's colic. It breaks my heart to hear a baby cry for even a minute let alone for long periods of time. Hang in there and I hope she grows out of this soon! Are you BF still or doing formula? Although he wasn't colicky, gentle ease formula helped us when Quinn started to get fussy on the regular stuff. And read about the 5 S's from Happiest baby on the block. It really helped us to calm him. It's swaddle, sucking, swaying, stomach laying and shushing. Miraculous, I swear.

Nicole I hope you are Oing now and def a good idea that you've BD'd 3 days prior and 2 days after. I'm like the BD "pusher" when it comes to continuing to BD after O. I swear that 's the only reason I finally got prego after a year of trying.

Brooke I am so happy to hear from you! Would love to know how the doctor's visit went. I know how raw you're feeling after everything that's happened, but we're here for you and love you! Big wet sloppy kisses!

And Jenn, how is that AF coming? She show her ugly head yet? Hope so!

As for me, I think we have a date for this little girl to arrive! I've been scheduled for my c-sec 10/8 at 7:30 am! We were hoping for the 5th but another doctor has the ER booked every Friday all day so we just went for Monday. It's all good, I don't really care what her birthday is. When she comes is when it was meant to be. Although, I have a sneaking suspicion I might go into labor before that...well a girl can hope anyway!

Love you guys!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Wow only a month away that is VERY exciting I cannot wait to se her How is Quinn doing lately? I bet he's getting excited to meet his new sister

I have a doc appt at 9:20 tomorrow morning. I think I've got whooping cough. I'm MISERABLE an the house has to be clean by Monday an I'm just not feeling it right now. I've done 2 loads of laundry, unloaded an loaded the dishwasher back up...made me and Trysten some breakfast (Tyler got bfast at school this morning)....and I've vacummed a little an I just dont feel like doing anything I feel so useless right now. I've pee'd on another stick and of course a on that as well. I don't think I'm pregnant I don't think I'm meant to get pregnant again I just know we are gonna get the girls and I'm happy with that.....I've just gotta accept things will be done GOD's way and not Andi's way...and sometimes its hard! But all in all I know things are gonna start looking up for us someday soon.....there is no where to go but UP....I'm so low right now sickness, can't find a job no matter how hard I try...just lots of things right now!

 

[waiting2012]

Andi--I'm so sorry your test was negative hun... I'm sure something is going to happen for you! I just know it...

Ashe--It's so good to hear from ya hun!! ..Won't be long now till your L.O. is here...!!

How is everyone else?? I hope doing good!

I had my blood drawn, and got my numbers earlier than tomorrow.. I went to the bathroom and had light pink spotting.. I'm not cramping or anything like AF coming--just a tugging feeling across my uterus.. Boobs still hurt and a bit nauseas.. but I've got this headache that is not too bad but its def there... I'm afraid that my progesterone may be dropping..My hcg was a bit over 13,000..So I know thats not terrible according to my OB but not reassuring when you wipe and there is spotting. I go tomorrow for my 6 wk scan-unless I start bleeding heavily..So I'm just here at work taking it easy..I haven't told my bosses I'm pregnant and don't need the attention drawn right now...I can sit in the floor with my kids this afternoon or sit in my chair at the table and do table activities..

I'm going to my facebook and email--but I'll check back in later..
Lots of love

 

[Affyash]

Thanks Andi, I can't believe we're almost there either! Quinn's alright, he's been SUPER clingy and had the terrible two's attitude lately. I suspect it's because we've finally got the nursery almost done (since we'll never move before she's here!) and all the other baby things out. He keeps calling her "Holly B". I may have to name her Holly now! Other contenders are still Daisy, Morgan, Avery and our original pick with Quinn, Olivia. I know some are really popular but I can't help what I like!

Steph I'm so sorry to hear about the spotting, but I'm going to take the absence of cramping as a good sign. It could totally be implantation burrowing and that baby digging in deep. My thoughts are with you and your bean! And good numbers too! I think good news is just around the corner. I can't wait for your ultrasound!

 

[Affyash]

Oh and Andi (excuse Miss insensitive over here) I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy. I hope you get some time to rest today. That's great news about the girls! I thought you were thinking that maybe it wasn't the best thing for you to get them. I'm glad you had a change of heart, it seems they belong to you now! xoxo

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I reconsidered my thought when I was better in the right mind sort of speak...and I realize that I DO want them...but I also want OUR baby together...but then today thought hard about it and said well "THEY WILL BE OUR BABIES" as a couple THEY ARE OURS....no one can take them from us....they will be OURS....ehhh gonna cry thinking about that.....they will be OURS....they are so beautiful and I can do their hair...and they can play with the boys and OMGOSH ehhh tears are in my eyes!

I'm so excited I'm going to move Myra's bed into their room with the bunk beds. It was her bed at her "home" before....the Aunt gave it to us. I just feel shes going to be more connected with her bed that she knows instead of the bunk beds I need to get white crib sheets though because I'm not too sure our Pooh bear sheet will go with her princess stuff

Well back off to clean I shall go

 

[Kahlan83]

hi Ladies,

I'm still going good "up" here. We are really trying at Potty training for Matty...he's gone poop in the toilet a few times but he still doesn't know to hold it or to tell us before he goes. I really hope he's TT before baby but we'll see. We decided that we weren't going to buy him diapers anymore and the ones we have left we will only use when we go out of the house, otherwise it's a pull up or actual underwear.

Still having a hard time finding girl NB winter clothing. I put an ad on Kijiji but so far people either want too much, are too far away or one lady said she had three diaper boxes full for 50. I asked to see the clothes before committing to buying and she never responded. And on top of that, a couple people must not be able to read cuz I said NB only and I have people saying stuff like "I have 6 months is that okay?" god sakes. lol.

My MIL made an adorable sweater set. I'll take some pictures and post them soon.

Even though the tech said she couldn't be sure about the sex hubby and I still have a gut feeling about it being a girl. I might get another ultrasound....because doctor seems to think this baby will be bigger than Matty so he may want to do another one to see if he can get a better estimate on size and to make sure baby isn't breech.

I won't be too upset if i have to have another section. I'd prefer not to, but well...there are worse things. As long as I can breast feed I will be happy.

I hope everyone is doing okay, sorry I haven't really been on much...been so tired lately and baby seems to be staying low and putting pressure down below.

Don't give up Steph. I have my f'x!!!

Same with you Andi. I'm glad that you decided you wanted the girls afterall. I've always believed that we make our own families. I have people in my life that aren't related by blood but it doesn't matter.

Nicole....f'x for you that your O'ing now or soon.

Brooke. Lots of love and virtual hugs for you girl. Don't be a stranger.

Ashe...won't be long until we meet your baby girl. I like Olivia personally...it was one of our picks before we came across Alyson.

Tanya sorry to hear about the colic. Matty had reflux but no colic. I hope it doesn't take long for her to outgrow it. Also can't wait to see new pics.

Jenn...how is Cam doing? did AF come yet?

Amanda....where are you girl? I know that time zone difference is a killer. I have a couple friends in Melborne and it makes it difficult to chat sometimes with a 14 hr time difference.

If I missed anyone I'm sorry. Matty gets his pics done on Monday. I hope they turn out as good as last years...and next year will be school pics. God...school.

Love you all

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Awww I sure hope ya get to find out what the baby is PRAYING its a girl for you!! If not a healthy boy will be sufficient I can't wait ohhhh how I love seeing you ladies get pregnant an have your babies.....since I can't pop out anymore apparently I can't wait to have our GIRLS I will have Tyler (he will be 9 in October) then I'll have Hayley who will be 5 and a half...then Trysten my lil man he is 3 and a half then we will have Myra who is 2 and a half My house will be FULL OF SURPRISES lol....and kids running wild but its gonna be worth it!

 

[Kahlan83]

sometimes things happen when we least expect it....

and the benefit, you got two girls and get to skip the dirty diaper stage (assuming Myra is TT)

Maybe if you stop actively TTC it will happen for you. We we'ren't really trying for this one because of my PCOS diagnosis and that whole waiting to see the gyno about what we could do about it and bang...so you never know...then you'd have a really full house for sure.

Hope your feeling better soon

 

[TandA08]

OMG Ash! I can't believe your little girl will be here so soon!! I didn't realize it was just around the corner!!! Holy crap I can't wait to get our girls together!!!!

I'm just running in between moments of a crying baby. She's currently in her crib napping. I'm waiting for her to wake up so that I can give her a bath. We are going to DH's parents's house for dinner tonight. His grandma from Australia just got here today, she will be visiting for a few weeks. So, Emma gets to meet her "great grand-nan" tonight. (AKA Nan, or at least, that's what we call her, I think we'll have Emma call her the same thing simply cause it's easier to say). My grandma had requested to be called Gigi (short for Great Grandma), LOL. Ope, well there she is... waking up with the hiccups, gotta run, catcha ladies again soon.

All!!!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Awwww!!! I love hearing about all the babies ALL GIRLS lol Steph are you gonna have our boy??

I've taken my cough meds with codeine an nothing is working...coughed so much ribs and my head are throbbing feel like heads gonna explode soon. This is AWFUL..a friend of mine suggested she thinks I have whooping cough an now my whole family is catching it...its highly contagious she works at a daycare an said its going around really bad here!

Anyways I'm gonna go try to find some more kinds of meds I can mix with what I took earlier I feel like I'm DYING...I do have another doc appt at 9:20 tomorrow morning...THANK GOD!

 

[waiting2012]

Lol!! Cameron needs a buddy!!! I checked the chinese calendar--blasted thing said GIRL!

Appt update-- measuring 5wks 6 days... Yolk and little beanie seen but couldn't see h/b.. BUT Dr.McDreamie.. said that he wants me back in 2 weeks for another u/s. More blood drawn but mainly to check my progesterone. If its low he will let me know because with the weekend coming he wants me to have the progesterone if I need it before Monday. He wanted to a pelvic--but because I was spotting a very little bit yesterday and nothing last night and woke this am to RED spotting mostly on the TP-- he said it could wait till our next visit. He did mention the possibility of a Threatened Miscarriage.. But he is very optimistic everything will be fine.. I have to believe it will be fine.. Just told to take it easy for the next couple of weeks...

Mandy--I just POTTY TRAINING!! It's so MUCH FUN... **BULLSHIT** As far as winter clothes go--have you looked online at Babies'R'Us? **Are those still in business??** Or Maybe Old Navy, Gymboree.. They should have their winter lines of clothing for kids and babies out soon... Adrian was born in October and it SNOWED the day she was born in Kansas! But then 2 weeks later on Halloween it was 70 degrees... We joke that Hell froze over when she was born..

Have fun with Nan!, Tanya!! Be sure to take lots of pics!!

Andi--I'm soooooo SUPER STOKED for you Girl!!! If you have already got baby girl's bed--chances are they are more than yours!!

Beth and Nicole--I hope all is going good!!!

We have exactly 6 more weeks before telling anyone we are pg...UGH.. I shouldn't complain but can't help it...

 

[armymama2012]

Is slippery CM technically watery CM? I am crampy this morning on my left side, low temp., HSO cervix, and clear slippery (just slightly stretchy) CM. We did BD at 2 a.m. so could this just be remnants of his spermies instead of CM? Help! I am only on cd 10 right now and I usually dont ovulate officially til cd 20 or later.

I just got a positive OPK too!

 

[waiting2012]

Sounds like possible early O'...Hun!! .. Did you use any supplements this cycle or go aunatural? Could be just your body trying to get into a regular rythm too! Hmmm...

Keep on bd'ing and STOP checking you cp/cm while bd'ing..No sence in disturbing those little guys--especially when our fingers even though clean do have a bit of "acid" like substance on them that our bodies make naturally to fight bacteria--That sounds dumb--but it's kind of like taking a glass of rootbeer (any soda really-but rootbeer fizzes really good)--stick a dry/clean finger in the foam--it will dissolve right away! Sometimes you can taste "salt" on your finger--well your putting that on the men--Don't do that!! Just keep bd'ing--and wait till you know O' has come and gone... Crazy I know--and someone will tell me how crazy I am but I'm an oldie but goodie...LOL...

I haven't used any supplements yet. I was going to start drinking grapefruit juice on Tuesday because I usually don't ovulate this early.I even ran out of prenatals during my AF and haven't gotten the money to buy more. I've just been a little more frisky lately so we have BD'd more. Ok, I'll stop checking for the next 4 days.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Wooohoooooo....thats awesome....I would say early O as well FX for you this cycle.

Steph we've had that bed since we first started trying this whole adoption thing. The Aunt at the one point she didn't want them gave it to us since she gave the girls away etc. then she NOW wants them back GRR for her not making her damn mind up then calls me saying " I wanna get my tubes untied and have another baby" ehhh she pisses me off sometimes! She couldn't deal with 6 but now she wants to try an have another some people just PISS ME OFF! Oh well its not my choice its hers an I'm not to judge her but it does make me kinda irritated that these two girls who are HER BLOOD wants to give them away to have her own child. I'd give anything to raise my own blood! Gahhhh! Anyways....I'm gonna go lay down I've been at the docs for over 2 hours this morning having chest xrays an everything else they think I have bronchitis or pneumonia I'm waiting on the doc to call me back with the results to see what she wants me to do....she said she might do more tests if that didn't show up...we shall see! I got Zpack...an took the 2 for today just waiting to see if I need an inhaler or breathing treatments!

I hope I am O'ing early. i hope you feel better. Does the DH help out when you are sick? I'm sorry the aunt is being a pain.
