It really is lovely!!! Guppy when do you test?

Well Im down for testing on the 9th. Today is Ov. day. But my LP is only 10 days, however, i am gonna wait until im one day late because last pregnancy i couldn't even get a faint faint positive until 13 dpos and a "real" positive until 14-15DPOs and i only have two tests.

Guppy indeed rewarding and the sweetest, most intelligent. my daughter is non verbal and has texture issues. also still in pull ups..I want a sibling for her as I have no nieces or nephews and me being 40, when I am gone I want her to have someone to be in her life who is family. SIGH..Come on Mr. Storky, my Gianna needs a sibling...hence, my screen name, a sibling4gi

that is beautiful hun
I remember when i worked with a nonverbal child. She taught me sign I was impressed! Thanks to those kids i know basic ASL.

There are some really cool things you can with texture therapy. That was the funnest part for me! you can get little plastic gladwear things (or whatever you choose) and fill them with different things. Like you could do one filled with kidney beans, another with rice, another with jello. Basically anything you can think of!

thanks gupp...ya, tried..she gags and spits out anything that is not pizza, grilled cheese or mushed baby veggies stage 3...ughh..i am seeing a nutritionist for her...wish me luck... My little girl knows sign for more right now but she does show you what she needs and wants...she will hand me her coat or sneakers when she wants to go somewhere..its so cute..I love her soooo much..she says it best, when she says nothing at all!

 

[Guppy051708]

ick. i hate waiting for Ov! Thats the worst for me. Id rather wait out the "2WW" (which is really only 10 days for me), then wait out the 20-22 days it takes to ov.! lol

Hope you ov. soon!

Girl, you are totally preggo!!!!!!
I think you're in shock lol

What is your coverline temp? As long as it doesn't go below coverline, your temps still fluctuate when your pregnant!

I honestly don't even know what my coverline is, silly me has never checked it before
I went back to bed after FRER (5:30am), so had 6 more hours of sleep and obviously held wee, so did a dollar store test and grr !! Why can't the line just scream it at me if it's actually + ?! If af doesn't show today, I'm insisting my gyno does my bloodwork tomorrow morn xx

Aww
The food textures can be really tough.
I had a 4 yr old boy one time and the only thing he would eat would be mooshed up ravolies and speghetti (from the can). Sometimes i could get him to eat oatmeal for breakfast, but it really was a struggle. (and heartbreaking). He too had to have the food either VERY mashed up or blended. Those days were sad. He got to the point where it was considered "failure to thrive" and had to go see specialists. By the time i left it had improved so much, but for him, i think it was more challengning that his parents wouldnt follow up with any of the techniques and plans of actions that they agreed to do with the specialist and with our staff. I get where they are coming from, but they were also the ones wanting the help ...i wonder how he is doing....either way, he such a smart cookie! I mean, he was nonverbal (didnt know signs), his fine motor skills needed a bit of work, and he had trouble with eating because of the textures, but he def. knew how to communicate...he was sneaky tho! haha. Oh and sooo stubborn! lol

sounds like a great plan hun!
I dont think the $Tree HPTs are as low a sensitivity as the FRER so that could be why it was negative

Woohoo I finally got a positive on an opk! For the first time. The CBFM is still saying high, so i'm assuming it will say peak tomorrow. The opk was showing a faint line this morning, and got home and tested twice and it's more or less same darkness as the test line. Never seen a line that dark on one before so I am chuffed. So i'm guessing i will ov tomorrow, and will make sure we DTD tonight! So excited. Last cycle I had no idea when i'd ovulated or if I even had. And it's so reassuring to see the signals that I do ovulate. Hoping my chart will reflect it too so i am extra reassured!

 

[asibling4gi04]

aww guppy..sad..wonder why they would not follow up..my girl does eat oatmeal with baby fruits but she only eats the gerber kind..I try eveything. I started putting fiber in her morning oatmeal and a perscribed powder in her juice cup to avoid constipation, she gets pretty backed up eating cheesy foods..(pizza, grilled cheese)....But, I could not imagine her any other way! She is perfect to me..and certainly sneaky and stubborn as well lol!

 

[Guppy051708]

Yeah, i love those kids....its hard not become attached to the kids (professionally, we arn't supposed to) but when you are with them all day long every day and when you see their struggles and are apart of that. And then you see how wonderful and smart they are and how much potential they hold, you cant help but to become attached. I miss them

[Guppy051708]

[AllIwant4Xmas]

The anticipation is killing me! lol

 

[Guppy051708]

I bet! Can't blame ya there hun. I hope you get that soon!
When are you retesting?

 

[asibling4gi04]

guppy, the flip side of the coin we miss Gianna's therapists and old teachers etc so I so know what you mean about getting attached! Maybe mister storky will bring a sibling. Fings crossed...thanks again for your help!

 

[Guppy051708]

I have a good feeling about this month-for the both of us

 

[asibling4gi04]
