Hi girls,

sorry I haven't been on today, had a busy day entertaining the kids, cleaning and tidying up. Then DH wanted to go to B&Q after work to buy paint to paint the living room. We did that and just finished painting. Still need to gloss the skirting boards etc but do that another day. I'm pooped! mmmmmm pie and mash sounds good Tink.
I had roast chicken, new potatoes and broccoli for dinner, and a cherry brandy ice lolly for dessert

I skimmed through todays posts but have forgot most of it I'll be back tomorrow when I'm not so tired, nunnites for now

night Poppy & Coral!

Hi ladies!!

Thank you Cabs, Poppy, Tink, Coral and PK for your concern after my last post and those of you that asked after me... I'm still having the 'tightness' that seems to be there all the time but feel it more pronounced when I'm standing or walking. It's a strange feeling as if the front bottom portion of my stomach wants to fall out of my body - it feels that heavy and very tight to the touch. Did read up about Braxton hicks like some of you said, and on-call doc said it might be those too, but haven't been able to make contact with my regular doc yet. So just going with it and praying it's not a bad sign... was crying the other day when I posted from my phone cos I had just been reading some sad stories on second tri where women had similar sensations and it did not end well How I'd love a visit with doc and a bonus u/s to reassure me everything's going well! But not until March 8.... booo hoooo!

Hi Lady B!

 

[ladybeautiful]

Only caught back on all the posts...

Poppy... my heart goes out to Gage... makes me sad that such monsters exist who prey on innocent young kids Please give him a from me; wishing him healing and the strength to process the incident and see that it's not his fault what happened to him.. and hugs to you and the rest of your family...
Also big to korben for his first steps!! He's so cute with his babbling and all!!

 

[ladybeautiful]

Hi Regal! I see you have been reading back to see how Team Ding Dong got so crazy in your absence! :wink:

 

[Regalpeas]

lol. Yeah that was definitely an accident but it was funny. Glad to see you on.

Poppy, I did not see what happened to Gage, but it doesn't sound good. I hope all is well with your family.

Hi ladies

i think pretty much everybody has gone off to bed...getting late here too, but i wanted to pop on to fill everybody in about what happened at my doc appt today!

firstly tho...i miss you all and glad to see everybody is going along nicely, all things considered. funny we all have "preggo brain" today/tonight. i'm so tired i can't remember what all i read either in any case, my love is with all of you girls!

so, i nearly didn't get to see the doc today b/c it was such a terribly long wait to get it and i had to leave for my other job that i do on tues/thurs nights. but finally got it, talked it over with the nurse first, then saw the doc. she ended up doing a brief physical exam b/c of the symptoms i gave her. she's ordered a full battery of tests/bloodwork to rule out any hormonal and/or reproductive issues with me that could be preventing pg. i haven't been happier for something like this in a long time! yay! i have the order for bloodwork, so i just have to call the lab to set it up. she's testing for EVERYTHING! FSH, LH, estradiol, progesterone, thyroid, also for prolactin (b/c ... sorry tmi... i have 'discharge' from my breasts that looks like colustrum, the pre-milk you get after you give birth...should not have that...). of course we'll do "day 21" levels although it will have to be a week after i ov, of course, and whatever else. the point is, she's doing a full work up on me. SOOOOOOOO happy me. i go back next wed for ultrasound of my uterus/ovaries. i should be right at ov for that, so the doc should get some good info from that. she MAY do a dye test to check my fallopian tubes for blockages, but that only if the other tests come back showing issues. she's holding off on that one b/c it's more expensive to do. oh and she wants to do a "post-coital" exam...meaning right around ov, dh and i and go to the office within an hour or two for the doc to do an exam/swab and then check how dh's are moving along within my cm...that checks for compatibility. BUT for that test, we will wait til next cycle if no bfp this time b/c of the sickness/fever dh just had. fever probably killed many of his spermies for right now , so she wants to give him time to recover. as for dh, obviously, as a gyn, she doesn't handle that part, but she gave me recommendation for urologist for dh to see, so i will call tomorrow to set up appt for dh. all in all, very successful appt!!!! so happy, we're finally going to get somewhere!!! i feel it!!!

on another note, dh and i had decided to turn down the job offer, only to end up saying we will do it we don't want to...for us to realize that even with the money offer we were still uncommitted b/c of all the other issues really opened our eyes about working there. BUT the clinical program director there is a good friend of my dh, and last night he basically just told dh he needs help, so we caved and agreed to do it. ugh. it's going to be torturous, and i'm already exhausted, so i have no idea how much moreso i'm going to be with this. i have to do it every saturday until dh's licensure comes through. at that point, dh and i will either switch saturdays, or we'll split the caseload and go each saturday together for half the time. either way, i told dh i won't do this long term. it's the same company i just quit from, and you girls know how those people treated me. it's a different department, but i worked in this department before too, and it was no better, so we'll see. i'm really not looking forward to it AT ALL, except that it will give us some extra money for our disney tickets and for ttc expenses.

so that's that. sorry i've rambled on again girls... i hope i'll get a chance to get on again before the weekend. if not, muchos besos y abrazos (kisses and hugs) for all of you!!!

Morning!

ladyb, glad to see you honey, was wondering how you were doing. I'm sorry your still experiencing worrying symptoms, but in actual fact the sensation your now describing sounds less worrying. If its worse on movement and is more like a constant tight ache, Its much more likey to be 'growing pains' I call them that but the correct term is 'round ligament pain'. Apart from this you also need to remember all your organs are being pushed away and your hip ligaments are relaxing and giving way to your growing baby. This can be pretty uncomfortable. BUT Its still important to take any sort of stomach pain seriously though, I wasn't too sure by your post if you have seen the doctor? you said you spoke to him. Anyhow, I hope the pain eases for you x

PK, was wondering how you got on, was thinking of you! Great news, this doc sounds great! So pleased your getting things moving x

Coral, ditto, I'm sorting my house out this week. x

 

[coral11680]

Morning Girls,

Hi Regal glad you are back frequently with us again

Hi Ladyb try not to worry hun like Tink said sometimes we get aches and pains as everything is stretching, but if it gets really painful get to the docs asap. Just call and say u need an appointment, dont except no March 8th will be here soon and you will be able to see the baby happily moving around, you are finding out the sex aren't you>?

PK so happy things are moving for you and DH. Sorry you need to go back to that workplace which was not so pleasant for you to work in. But at least the extra money will be good

Tink I have no motivation at the moment! DH is at work now til Sunday. It was such a nightmare painting last night as Chloe and Ryan wanted to help but you know i dont need paint everywhere!!! It was a constant battle. We are going to paint their rooms but I will wait til next week when they are back to school will be much more relaxed abd DH is off Monday and Tuesday.

Another miserable rainy day yuck!

LB Try not to go into 2nd Tri reading the sad stories sweetie it will drive you insane and paranoid, March isnt far now and as long as you feel wriggling around he/she is happy. You will know if something is seriously wrong 'mothers instinct' so hang in there

PK woohooo finally s you waited so long im so glad everything is moving now for you n DH

Morning ding dongs hope your all well, im not even awake yet sat here with my korben just had his Ready Brek now making a mess x

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Coral, It occurred to me, why I'm trying to have a big sort out while the kids are here? I know what you mean about when kids 'help' with painting. They mean well but its pretty stressful

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]
