Thanks for the support laddies!

I just bought a house and it is so hard not to spend all your $ on decorating every room!

 

[Hopin4ABump]

I know right! I wish I had unlimited money to decorate. That would be fabulous.

I got a video of his breathing. The only video I could get was while he was crying though lol. But he does it at random then goes in to fits of it. I posted it in the baby section but haven't heard much from anyone.

Hopin, you can also ask them to check your lining in an US. That might be helpful. And I love the kitchen set! I'm the SAME way about buying things for my home! I looooove it, I'd spend all my money on new things to decorate with if I could.

Grateful, talk about OUCH! Oh I hope and pray you get lucky and LO has a normal size head... Thank God you've decided to go with an epidural so that'll help a bit.

I'm so jealous you all are getting snow!! I live in Seattle so we usually get it at least once a year but we'be been jipped this year

 

[anmlz86]

Heylo ladies!
Hopin- That's a pretty cool table. I was a nut about decorating my first place! I think it helped it was all mine and no one could tell me no lol. Now, my fiancee and I have lived in the same house for 2yrs and he vetoes all my decorative ideas. Bagh! I think I'm just going to start slowly integrating new things and see if he notices hehe...

Grateful- I'm not sure about the brave part lol. Just something I've gotta experience at least once. Plus back in the day, being H.S. parenting class, the idea of an epidural pretty much scared the bejebus out of me. A needle in my spine with the possibility of paralysis just kind of freaked me out. Don't get my wrong, I'm positive epidurals have gotten safer with the more advancements in medicine, I'm just a weenie when it comes to What Ifs? lol. Yea, I'm just slightly strange I guess, but that's what makes me interesting

We've had snow and rain off and on here in IL, with random temperature changes. In one week it'll go from 27 to 60 to 45. Definitely the state to where layers Right now, frrriiigginnn cold at 26 with chance of snow. I can only imagine how the Northeast is feeling right about now though...

 

[Allika]

[Jenna_KA]

Lol!!!! I have two videos to share with you ladies. The first one, I was trying to get a video of Draven holding his head up, but he was clearly busy working on something else. Lmao! Then the second one is a successful video of his strong head :] So big already. He'll be 1 month old tomorrow!

Oh my gosh Jenna he is so adorable! The poop reaction is super funny until you have to change the diaper lol Thanks for sharing!

 

[Beautifullei2]

I have a lot of catching up to do don't I lol

Hopin- I love your table, my kitchen is the last room in my house that I have to decorate but I'm having a hard time finding a high dinette that I like.


So I was reading my discharge papers & I can't have sex for 2 weeks


Allika those doctors never know what their talking about lol


Oh yeah Jenna, about the whole big head thing..... I laughed so hard cause my ex had a big head & I never thought about it until labor. I had to have 3 stitches cause my DD tore me


Grateful i didn't get the epidural cause I dialated to fast but I wish I would have. That pain was no joke!!!

 

[Jenna_KA]

Anmlz, thank you I still laugh when he farts, I don't think it'll ever get old to me lol. He's just so tiny and the sounds that come out of that body are insane! It cracks me up.

Lei, turkey bastor it! Jk jk jk. Don't do that to your kitchen utensils lol.

Lmao!! Doctors orders or not I am bding on V day! Its the day of love so I have to lol

 

[Jenna_KA]

Right?! I agree! I don't think it'll do anything bad, you'll be fine. Probably just being cautious.

Draven is 1 month old today already. Wow time is flying!

 

[Hopin4ABump]

Booooo Allika, not cool that you're not back at zero!!! When do you go back, exactly?

Sooo...I think DH & I are going to have sex for the first time since my D&C tonight. I'm finally not spotting at all, I had one day last week that I didn't but that was a fluke and then it came back. But I feel confident I'm all done, old blood & all. Oddly enough I'm kind of nervous to have sex lol. It's been so long!! Also, my doc made it clear to practice safe sex until I have a normal AF before we start TTC again, but I mean really? I kind of feel like, I'm not going to do that. We have been TTC for a year and couldn't get pregnant without the help of Clomid. So I don't think I really need to worry. What do you ladies think?

Jenna Gaaaahhhh I'm obsessed with Draven, poop & all Thank you for sharing him so much with us!! AND for sticking with us after all. I am so happy that you didn't choose to walk away after you had him. Speaking of, you know, I don't really know your TTC story. Ever since I've known you, you've obviously been pregnant and then Draven came. If you ever wanna share, I'm all ears

Lei, I hope you're feeling ok! And I don't blame you for BD'ing on V-day!

I hope everyone's having a great weekend! We had a huge Italian dinner tonight so I am stufffffed. Waiting to not feel so large and then going to sex my hubby up

 

[Jenna_KA]

Why would they tell you to practice safe sex? That doesn't make sense to me... would it be bad if you were to get pregnant right now? I don't understand lol. I wouldn't bother using protection if it were me but of course it's all up to you. And thank you for LOVING me sharing him. I love showing him off I'm so proud of him all the time and I'm so glad it doesn't bother you all.

I don't really have much to my TTC journey but I'll be more than happy to share! OH and I started trying April of 2011. My periods had always been irregular since I started having them, but I never really had any kind of diagnosis. Doctors just put me on birth control and said it'll fix itself eventually. They had mostly regulated by the time we started trying, but I still think that had a lot to do with our difficulties. In February 2012 I was at work talking to one of my coworkers who struggled trying to get pregnant for 10 years and was able to finally conceive using clomid (which is kind of a funny story I can share if you're interested). So I made an appointment with just my regular PCP and asked her about it. So she wrote me a prescription for 3 months of 50mg and said if that doesn't work she'll refer me to an OB or FS. Luckily I didn't need that because I got my BFP on the 2nd round after 13 months TTC.
Here's my BFP post lol. I still like to look at it

P.S. Here's Draven's 1 month picture!

 

[Beautifullei2]

Hi everyone
Today was a much better day then the last few. I was able to move around more but this gas is killing me. They blew up my stomach & all the gas is pretty much trying to get out so my right shoulder had been hurting bad. Anytime I breathe in that shoulder hurts so now I'm drinking soda trying to burp.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend

Allika- I may have missed it but when do you go back again. I can't believe they won't start you on it just because your at an 8. Thats pretty close if you ask me.


Hopin- how was the bad session?? I feel like this forum is the only time we can ask about sex lol. I'm nervous about bding with DH cause I have no clue what they did to me. My f/u appt is Tuesday so I am going to ask.

 

[luna_19]

hi can I join? I'm on my first month of clomid and feeling kind of lost. We have been ttc since January 2012, never had a bfp, all tests normal. Just waiting to o

 

[Grateful365]

Happy Monday Ladies! I am working from home today - DH and I are both sick. I think I am getting some kind of upper resiratory infection.

Lei - I'm glad you are feeling better each day. I TOTALLY know what you are talking about with the gas. When I had my appendix out, they filled me with gas and I swear it hurt for like a week afterwards all over my body, but especially in my shoulders. Very uncomfortable and painful!

Luna - Hi and WELCOME! We are glad to have you. How exciting that you are starting your very first round of Clomid this month! My not getting pregnant for years was more or less unexplained and my doctor put me on Femara, which works a lot like Clomid. I got my BFP my 2nd cycle on it. So FX'd for you this month! Clomid and Femara work for many ladies.

 

[Hopin4ABump]

Good morning lovely ladies!

Allika let us know how your appointment goes today please. I'm sure you're ready to get back into the game! I know I am.

Jenna Yeah, my doctor suggested protected sex because she wants to make sure my lady parts fully recover from the m/c and D&C before I get pregnant again. I guess because she wants to make sure my body can support the pregnancy. I would have to imagine that's the norm, but if it's not, I'm bringing it up to her! LOL.
Thanks for sharing your story with us! It's nice to know your journey from start to finish. Also great that your'e still with us Draven is getting SO BIG...that's crazy! He looks adorable at 1 month old

Lei I'm glad you're feeling better!! Your f/u appointment is tomorrow right?

Grateful how are you feeling? Did your area get hit by snow storm nemo?? I was thinking about y'all this weekend!

Luna welcome ! Are you being monitored to watch your follies? Don't feel lost, we're here for you!! Any questions you have, just ask away!

How is everyone else doing? Anyone have big plans for v-day? I can't wait for next week, when the testing begins!!!!

AFM, I kind of had a rough weekend. Saturday night, after I posted about DH & I having sex for the first time since the D&C, well - that didnt' happen. I ended up having a huge emotional breakdown, crying my eyes out - I started thinking about how I would've just now gotten to the 2nd tri, and I would've been telling everyone we were expecting. I don't know, it just hit me really hard, and I got so sad and angry. So obviously I wasn't feeling up to BD'ing. I think I just get so frustrated, you know - I got my BFP 12/4, so its been 3 months since we've been TTC, and I just feel like that time was wasted now. I just want to be back in it and get my STICKY bfp. It's annoying.
BUT, then we did have sex last night, and it was fantastic! I felt like a woman again and I really needed that to feel more connected to DH. I was feeling so disconnected, and had been bleeding/spotting for so long that I just didn't feel good anymore. I was worried that there would be old blood left from the D&C and we'd see that after having sex but there was nothing, so that was a huge relief. At this point, I'm just waiting on AF to show so that I can get back on Clomid and get another BFP! I'm going to start temping tomorrow morning, I know you're excited Jenna
Ok so after typing that novel everyone better let me know how y'all are doing

Aww Hopin, I'm sorry you had a rough weekend. You have every right to have some days where you feel bad about it and even angry. I'm glad you are through the physical part, but I can only imagine how hard the emotional side still is. I am/was very crushed as well...as I know the other ladies were too. I'm so impressed at how strong you and Allika have been through this. You can get through anything Hopin - and I feel with ALL MY HEART that you are going to get your sticky BFP. I cannot wait......so much to look forward to.
