September Snugglers 2016

Forums New posts
I'm totally with all you girls. My breasts are kinda killing me but that's similar to TWW symptom. I do feel a little nauseous if I eat too much or get hungry, and I have light cramps that seems to have stopped. Seems like I've already gotten used to those small pregnancy symptoms so it already feels normal.

I went in for my first prenatal exam and the doc office confirmed pregnancy and hearing my gyno say "yup you're definitely pregnant" somehow made it seem more real to me and DH. First U/S scheduled for 2/17.

Gina: that's great news! No more spotting as well?
 
Ah so the nausea is really kicking in now. Got OH family over who remain in the dark about it all. So trying hard not to retch or pull a face at certain smells haha... it's hard going.
Also having this dull headache which will not do one!

Gina fab news lovely. Rest up! Xx
 
Psy- I know it feels weird when a doctor says it doesn't it!? When I had my pelvic exam the doctor said "oh yeah your uterus is enlarged" and I was like "what why!?" And she was like "mm cause you're pregnant!??"

I just didn't think it changes this fast!

I'm so tired all the time and nausea is really starting I can already feel it but it's still not horribly bad. Boobs are the big thing though (pun intended) they're super big and sore. Being tired isn't letting me play with my son as much as I want too and I feel so guilty :(

This pregnancy is already going by fast probably cause I'm already busy with a toddler at home and don't have the time to obsess over everything, but I still feel like I have to give this baby the attention I gave his/her brother.
 
Fantastic news Gina! :happydance:

The nausea here is still pretty strong, the only time it really goes is when I'm lying down, which then results in me falling asleep.
Having a toddler to deal with during the first tri is not easy at all, trying to keep her occupied but so I can rest... and the nappies at the moment are VERY hard to handle!
 
mummamoo and campn...I do not envy you right now dealing with a toddler AND early pregnancy. I can't even imagine having to take care of a little one right now on top of feeling so sick. But, I want more than one so I guess I'll find out what that's like someday.

gina! yay! great news!

I had craft time today...putting together our announcements for our parents :] I made cards for each grandparent with the ultrasound pic in it and cute little grandma/grandpa/baby scrapbooking stickers. My FIL's bday is next Friday, so we are planning to drive out to see him and give him his "birthday present." I put the card at the bottom of the box and over it I folded a onesie that says "Guess What?" You can't tell it's a onesie by the way it's folded...you can only see the words...I'm tricky :] So we are wrapping it up in birthday paper and giving it to him next weekend.

For my mom, I did the same thing. She lives far away though so I'm going to mail it to her, but under my name so she won't open it. I'll call her and give her a heads up that I "accidentally" had something I bought from etsy shipped to the house and ask if she can let me know when it gets there. Totally believable because I bought tons of stuff from etsy and shipped it to her house before my wedding. When she says she got it, I'll call her and ask if she can open it up just to make sure my "order" is alright. That way, I'll be able to hear her reaction when she finds out!

For my dad (who loves food), I used a pair of tweezers to remove the paper from a fortune cookie and wrote my own fortune to stuff back inside. It says "With fall will come new grandchild." Mailing that to him tomorrow!

Hopefully I can manage to surprise them all! Anybody else have fun announcement ideas?
 
Aman- Hehe when I was on here pregnant with my DS and other ladies would say they're chasing their toddlers I cringed thinking that must be exhausting! Now it's my turn.

Your plans are all so cute! I already told my parents just over the phone cause they live overseas.

We haven't told DH's family yet (parents, siblings, grandma, aunt) so we plan to tell them all at once. I'll dress DS in a shirt that says "big brother" and see if they'll notice it. Also bringing in cookies that are cut into little onesis and write with icing pen "baby #2" so we can celebrate after in case some don't get the shirt.
 
Hi I just wanted to pop in and say you can officially remove me from the September list. :( I had a D&C yesterday morning.

I hope all of you ladies have a wonderful pregnancy! I'll be back on the ttc bandwagon soon. I'm determined to keep trying for a rainbow baby.
 
michelle: so sorry :hugs: FX for your next sticky bean.

aman: those are cute. We're not gonna do anything fancy to tell people. I'm very much an email/text type of person. I wish I still had the energy to do cute announcements but I think my engagement/wedding stuff was enough work for a lifetime :)
 
:hugs: I'm so sorry Michelle. Glad you're looking forward. All the best to you and your future sticky bean! <3

So cute aman! Also love the shirt idea camp! I'm having trouble even thinking about what I want to do before I go in for my first scan. I just sent a photo of my BFP to my sister and two close friends who all knew we were ttc.

We're having lunch with my parents the day after my scan, so I'm thinking we'll just give them a Valentine's Day card for grandma and grandpa with a picture in it. My youngest brother will probably be there then too.

My other brother lives on the other side of the country. He and his wife are also trying, so I want to be sensitive to that. They also know and think we're still ttc. I recently exchanged some emails with my SIL and she shared that she just started her period this past Monday, and that she cried the whole drive home after her friends showed up at dinner in shirts revealing that they are expecting. I'm thinking after the scan I'll send her an email or text saying that I'm having a really POSITIVE day and that we'll FaceTime with her and my brother that night. Should give her some time to prepare/process, but also give us the opportunity to share the good news with my brother and include her if she's ready. What do you all think? Would that have helped you while ttc?

For DH's family, well his mom already cornered me and made me tell her. I assume she told his dad, but she swears she hasn't. We'll probably just give them a call. DH's sister is also expecting. She calls her LO bean, so I'm thinking DH can call her that weekend and just say that bean's cousin sprout is also on the way :).

We'll ask them all to keep it on the DL until second tri, but I'm expecting it to get out to my grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins just as soon as my mom knows.

Guess I've thought about it more than I realized :haha: Is it February yet?
 
So sorry Michelle :hugs:

Those are all such great announcements guys. We already told my parents as the issues I've been having I had to talk to my mom about it but for DH family I made a bib that has a jeep on it and says Lil jeeper (I'm big into jeeps). We plan to wrap it with a note that asks them to hold onto it for him/her. We are gonna say it is something we ordered for christmas but it didn't come in on time so they won't be suspicious. Plan to do it either next week or the week after, once I talk to a doctor. They don't know we have been trying and aren't exactly hoping for it so I'm not sure how it will be received. Hopefully they put aside their opinions and can be happy for us.
 
leson: It's a tricky situation. If I remember correctly ur SIL has been trying even longer right? I think seeing people trying longer than me get their happy ending was inspiring, but seeing people that got it faster than me always made me wonder if something was wrong with me haha. So, not sure how she'd receive the news. Might have to go with your gut during the facetime.

Also funny: we also sorta nicknamed it "Bean" as well but partly because people on here call it bean and also Bean is a character from ender's game that's super smart. But I love the bean sprout thing hahaha...
 
Lesondemavie forgot to answer your question, I feel like as long as you don't throw it in her face you should be okay. Just be mindful that she is still trying. Its okay to be happy but you dont want to be like jumping up and down happy. Just be sensitive to her feelings. You said she just started her period, I'd do it around when she would be ovulating if you can figure it out. I was always in a better mood during then than right after AF started. Maybe that will help her not get too upset about it.
 
Hey ladies! I just got my BFP today and my edd is Sept 28th. I am super excited to join this group! This will be #4 for us and our last. We have two boys and a girl so hoping for another little girl to round out the pack but we will be happy with either! I am already feeling very nauseous and have had a headache for like a week strait. Also been napping every day even after going to bed early the night before. It seems the nausea has started a lot sooner with this one than my last but I know it's about to get a lot worse as I get really bad HG with my pregnancies. Anyways, super excited and can't wait to spend the next 9 months with you lovely ladies! Oh how do I get a Sept snugglers pic for my siggy?
 
Michelle- I'm so so sorry hun. Please keep us updated, you're in my thoughts!

Leso- She will probably be a little sad regardless and I'm sure you understand that, maybe you should break the news to her first just one on one before "screaming it out" you know? I've a friend who has been trying for much longer than me so I decided to just break the news to her first and see how she feels.

Gina- Really who cares what they think!? They'll have opinions but it shouldn't effect your happiness so just be like "okay whatevs!"
I'm in a better mind set this time than with our first after seeing how some things weren't handled nicely by the inlaws so this time quite honestly, they come last.
 
Michelle : hugs: So sorry, hope you get your forever baby soon!

Gina, don't let other's negativity take anything away from your happy news! This is what you and you DH want, never mind anyone else.

I love the ideas people have had for their announcements, I've been boring and just told family. If I do an official one on fb I might be a bit more creative, then again I might not - I'll probably be too impatient to think about it!

Leson - tricky situation, but I'm sure you'll handle it right. I'm sure she'll be really excited for you after a bit of initial disappointment (as in, "why not me?")
I had friends getting their bfps whilst I was "trying" (not really putting much effort into it) and I was envious, but it just made me concentrate my efforts.

No cute announcement plans here! Just plan on telling people face to face. Its my first so i expext my family will be over the moon!

Welcome country Momma! my edd is 26th sept so we r not far apart!

So sorry Michelle i hope u get your rainbow baby very soon xx

Afm- i just got my 3+ on the cbd at 5+1 it made me happy to see that :)
 
So sorry Michelle. I hope it's over soon and you start to feel better. Xx

Leson - I think giving her a little hint before the FaceTime is a good idea. It'll take the initial shock reaction away. I am sure she will be happy for you, it's just at first her reaction my not be happiness, more frustration towards herself. I'm sure that will pass though. Good luck, not an easy thing to do. X

I wanted to do 'grandad' and 'aunty' cards with a pic of the scan but DH isn't keen. I love all the craft stuff (did everything for our wedding) maybe I just need to work on him a little. We're going to do it all in person though. It'll take us 3 weekends to get round the parents, my brother and best mates though! No one lives close by. Such a drag but we're kinda used to trekking about!
