Awwwww Those pics totally made me cry! HOW ADORABLE she is PRECIOUS and looks like her big brother is proud I love the name Daisy that is adorable my doggies name is Daisy!

Ashe... great to hear from you and I agree with Andi, she looks like her big brother.

Yup... I supposed my due date is before Amanda's. My belly has dropped and I've had on and off pains in my pelvis so I"m thinking baby has started to engage already. Not that I"m complaining. Matty didn't drop or engage this early. I still am thinking the same as Nicole about Nov 19th though, so we'll see.

Packed my Diaper bag last night. Josh got me a big one and it has a little compartment on the side with a hole for wipes... really neat. Plus it's big enough that I can throw an outfit and an extra pair of undies for Matty too...which is what I was looking for.

Still washing and putting away baby clothes... I noticed I have a lot of blue so I'm looking forward to when baby comes and if it is a girl getting lots of frilly pink stuff.

I love the name Daisy! You never hear of kids with that name so at least you know she's not going to end up being a "Daisy B" in school or anything like I had to be. Glad that the only complication you had was the UTI.

Hugs!

Hi everyone!

Ashe, I love love love the pics! She is so beautiful and precious! I'm glad she's doing well and that the c-section went well, too! Congrats to you!

Nicole, I agree with everyone else, don't be feeling up there!I hope the diarrhea has gone away and you're feeling better! I think I read something a while back (not certain, though) that diarrhea can be caused by an increase in progesterone which is why some women sometimes have it during their tww...I know I have before. So maybe you're just getting a boatload full of progesterone and that's a good thing!

Andi, so glad that you and DH are working it out...and you must be so anxious for Feb.!

Steph, hope everything is going well with you!

AFM, on to a new cycle, but I'm trying not to dwell so much on conceiving. The last year has been full of stress and worrying over it all so I guess if it happens then it happens...and that will be great.

Hope everyone has a great week!Hugs!

 

[armymama2012]

Diarrhea hasnt gone away yet. Supposed to call on Friday if it is still here. They told me to start taking Imodium tablets tomorrow so we picked some up tonight. Never taken any before. Otheriwse I'll probably be at the dr.'s on Monday to see whats going on.

Love the baby pics Ashley! I love the headbands! my daughter would never let them stay on but I didnt try at that age.

Ash those pics are ADORABLE!!!!!

At the moment I am rocking Emma to try and get her to fall asleep. She is quite stubborn and fights it pretty hard. But it's getting easier.

Hey Ladies!!
Well, I had an AWESOME Emmaus weekend!! I was so nervous about my talk and my table group (I was the assistant table leader) was so shocked that I was giving a talk--we kept it on the downlow...

I'm feeling good, I feel recharged and energized spiritually..I can't force my opinion on anyone but if you have a home church--check online or ask at your church if there is an Emmaus group/walk in your areas..They are all over world wide.. It is the BEST experience ever!

Ashe--I LOVE THE PICS!! and the name Daisy! How precious is that!! So awesome! Congratulations hun!

Tanya and Jenn--I hope those babes are doing good!

Brooke--I hope your feeling good hun!

Beth--I hear ya about the stress..It doesn't do us any good to dwell on the past or worry about the future.. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ya'll though!

Nicole--7 wks already???? Man time flies by so fast!! Hope the diarrhea lets up soon! Maybe that is how your m/s is going to be..Hailing the porcelin one way or the other...

Andi--I don't think missed a big announcement unless you posted it on your thread on the Pg test board.. I hope its the girls are coming to ya' hun!

Mandy--Won't be long and you'll be holding your little bundle too! I can't wait to see her pics! Yes, I'm thinking girl!

I'm staying pretty busy on FB..Since we got internet at the house--I can spend a bit more time online when I'm not so tired and catch up on all I've missed!

Love you guys, and ya'll are NEVER far from my thoughts!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I don't know anything about the girls yet.... but tomorrow is my BASELINES soooo here is to another cycle CHEEEERS

Glad you like your new church group that is awesome Sorry I haven't been on like I should I've been soooooo busy lately!

 

[armymama2012]

Well called the OB since diarrhea has returned for the 3rd time since we've been pregnant. She thinks I might have Irritable Bowel Syndrome or something.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Wow, hope you feel better soon that sounds terrible

 

[waiting2012]

Just checking in ladies! Hope everyone is doing good

I've been staying busy as usual.. I hope that someday I can post some pretty decent news on here lol! But for now--nothing..We aren't ttc anymore. In fact no more bd'ing right now--more by my choice though and its getting harder to hold the dh off..I know that is not a healthy way to treat my marriage, but right now my heart would just rather be left without any further scarring.. When I am able I'm sure I will a have a very grateful hubby.... and one that is ready to shoot his ... So that is it for me personally.
Much love and hugs and prayers to everyone..Hopefully, soon we can really get the ball rolling again on this thread..

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I'm here.....just here....lol!!!

Hi Ladies. Hope everything is good with everyone.

Everything is still good with me, although we're getting the tail end of Hurricane Sandy as it moves onto land so it's pretty rainy and windy around here.

I passed my drivers test, even though the tester was pretty cranky.

so the last few days I've been throwing up again and when we went for our Niagara trip, there were a few times when the braxton hicks got pretty painful. I still have a feeling that baby is going to come early. I've been feeling pretty bad the last couple days and wonder if it's a sign that labour is going to start soon. I'm 35 weeks but baby is probably about 5-6 lbs right now so not sure if they would stop it or not.

my dr appt is on the 7th so I'll talk to him about that...although he'll probably just tell me it's normal... ug...but I'll be 36 weeks by then and he may start checking me for dilation. Baby is still head down which is good.

seems to be pretty slow in here. starting to get to that busy time of year. Lots of love to all.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Awww Mandy I bet you'd love for baby to come early....but NOT this early Even though baby weighs enough still lungs probably aren't quite ready for breathing good quite yet so praying you stay put til 37 weeks at least...let us know how your appt goes I can't wait to hear more updates!!! I've missed you all....I'm just "here" doing a medicated cycle my appt. is tomorrow. I haven't really told many people (fb has no idea).....but our adoption is going well as well LOL....We should know VERY VERY soon whats going on with that. Our packet was completed today so we are on the adoption list and if the girls won't work they'll find another child who needs us...although now the state is not doing adoptions under age of 6 so the child would be 6 or over....usually quite older as they need homes for teenagers etc at the moment...that would be cool in a way but in another way I'd have to get a bigger house and bigger bed since we just got the bunk beds...I'm sure (pretty sure at least) we will get the girls just duno exactly when I wish they'd let us know something soon because with the holidays coming up...its gonna be a little tough trying to get everything last minute. I gotta get them EVERYTHING from clothes all the way to gifts for Christmas and their birthdays are both coming up along with Trysten's birthday. Tyler just turned 9 on the 17th of October....so his is at least out ofthe way but we still have Christmas and Trysten's then the girls birthdays are Dec. 8 and another in early January....so with all that and Christmas budget is gonna be REALLY REALLY TIGHT its kinda very very scary but I know somehow God will always provide.

We did get approved for the Sear's program called Heroes at Home...its where whatever monetary donations are made...the distribute the money in gift cards where we can shop at K-Mart and Sears with that....but depends of course on how much in donations as its distributed between thousands of military members...but the least little bit right now would be SOOOO very helpful.

Anyways thats all for me I am on the last dose of Femara tonight then I should know tomorrow if I can start my "half dose" of Follistim since I over stimmed last cycle they cut my dose in half.....we shall wait an see My mom took Trysten to her house for tonight so that I don't have to worry with him at the appt. tomorrow morning since they have to do an internal U/S.....I'll update soon as I know something....

Love you all and MISS YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH

 

[armymama2012]

Kahlan, I am still saying around November 9th.
My weight guess is 7 lbs and 4 ounces.
Length wise I am going with 20 & 3/4 inches.

 

[Affyash]

Aw, this is sad! No one's checking in here anymore. Sniff. I love you girls. I just wanted to say that. All is well with me and baby Daisy and everyone else. I hope all is well with you too! xoxooxox

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I still come in when others post lol!!

As everyone can see by my ticker me and DH just took a HIGH RISK pregnancy attempt...but its going to be worth it if it works...my doc was scared shitless he's never triggered anyone with over 4 follicles I was his first with 6!

 

[Affyash]

Oh!! Super good luck! I so hope it works for you! You deserve a little one of your very own. xoxo

 

[waiting2012]

I'm apologize yet again for not getting here... I said after the Emmaus Walk, and get through October I'd be back more, and it seems I just can't bring myself to be here like I said. I will try to come and at least check in if even only once a day.
I sent a text to Andi... We had a baby shower for my co-worker--the ungrateful wench...Yes, I said it. She's a wench. I'm trying so hard to not feel so bitter but all I can do right now is cry. I am happy that she's decided to not give up her baby because she was only do it because she is raising her daughter's half brother (not her son) and that is only because his momma up and left him with her. She is a good mom, but I feel so dang bitter that it was so easy for her--and then this past month or so I found out it seems that she has problem with being promiscuis (spelling?) in otherwords, she's a not so nice word for someone who gives it up to easily.. I mean if she chooses to sleep with a 100 guys--that's her business but what made her think she didn't need a condom or birth control?? I've prayed about this and prayed about it...but it doesn't change how bad my heart breaks when I think about how I should be pg right now. I'm sorry ladies. I'm so sorry that the one time I decide to come in and see how everyone is--I have nothing to talk about but how bitter I feel. I'm going to try and cheer up..
I personally have been feeling pretty good--no flare-ups-- although I stopped taking my steroids (don't ask)--I have noticed that the nausea I was having while taking them is still there so I guess it wasn't the meds, and my joints ache something aweful..Getting old I guess. I had a cycle start about a week ago although it was basically 3 days of brown spotting and one with a big red blotch--not much of a period, and being a dope I went to dr.google and seems that is typical of cycles for ladies entering menopause..SO I'm guessing it's grandkids I have to look forward to..I will hang in there here so I can see Andi get pg with her twins or triplets!! I'm so glad that there are ladies here that are so deserving of that bundle getting them.. Makes some of that bitterness go away......

I love ya'll and can't wait for more baby pics!
Mandy--I hope your bundle can hold on a bit longer so she can grow a bit more.. I had a pretty rough late pg with Adrian--so I understand what your feeling hun!
