The One Year Strong Ladies!

[wannabeprego]

Wannabe!!!..not sure what your baby room budget is..or what you have planned paint wise....but saw this and thought of you!!! https://www.wallstickeroutlet.com/wall-decor-detail.php?RecordID=67200 ha ha..isnt it cute?!?!

Thanks for the wall art design suggestion. It is super cute and would work really well with the jungle baby theme bedding set that I like. It is kind of pricey though, but I will save it to my favorites, hmm, if i search around i may be able to find something else similar but cheaper....

 

[HappiestMom]

yeah that website isnt the cheapest....but just saw it and thought of you..lol..i looked for it on other sites and the price is always $185....just for some wall stickers..blah lol..I still cant decide between painting my own or maybe even having a mural done professionally or then again maybe the decals so it can be changed easily...guess we'll see...

@Kitten, I am sorry about the rumors going around, i hope that things work out for the best...

There isnt much going on with me. I have been working all week, ...

Me and DH have been having alot of even though I havent OV'ed yet. Things are always slow with TTC waiting on OV to occur, so i havent been on much since i am in the "boring" part of my cycle...LOL...

I cant wait for Friday!! Me and DH are going to see that movie Battle Los Angeles with the aliens invading and stuff, it looks super cool. We might go out this weekend since we havent went out together in a long time, there is this reggae club with a jamaican restaurant that we might go and check out.

Lindsay sorry about AF! Excited about the Fertility Specialist though. I would be nervous too.

Goodwinone - I had cramps from like 7dpo - 14 weeks, and then again later for a few weeks. Don't necessarily mean a bad thing.

Cottleston - Sorry you're still in pain!!

Tiffany - Sorry about the crazy family! Sounds like somehing my family would do. Still holding breath for your bfp! When was your last test? When's your next? Your temp is still looking good. Your doc appt is coming up soon, right?

Wannabeprego - Good Luck for this cycle!

Sorry if I forgot anything. Changing my diet has sucked! I've lost some weight too. I've only gained 9lbs now total for this (my first) pregnancy. I made my next ultrasound appointment for April 11th, to see if James will need a CT scan when he's born. I've been really depressed and not handling work well, so my psychiatrist may take me off of work since there's no point in medicating just the last couple of months of prengnacy. I only have like 27 work days left, but between parents, students and administration I hate it there. My husband and I booked a BabyMoon 1.5 hours away. We got a great deal! $100 for 3 nights in a casino/hotel during spring break in less than 2 weeks! I wish I could eat at the buffet like I used to. Maybe if I walk enough I'll be able to indulge in all the food.

Thanks ladies all your comments made me feel much better. I called my doctor today and requested to have more blood work done so i could compare numbers. I went in today and will find out tomorrow if my numbers are doubling. She also agreed to, if the numbers were low to give me an ultrasound. Why does this have to be so nerve wrecking????? I just want to have a healthy baby!

I started looking at baby names and i really like Khloe????

 

[wannabeprego]

aww what are the pain killers for hun? and heartburn sucks!!! even this early its killing me sometimes lol.

For the car accident... I'm in lots of pain still

I might go back and read my Gail prediction for laughs...

Good luck Good, I hope that everything is going to be alright.... Keep us updated hun....

I have a big list of baby names that I have saved to my desktop in a word document that i have had for several years now...picking out babies names is fun...

 

[hopingnowsit]

Ladies I need your advice so this is my first cycle of soy...normally i dont ovulate at all but i've had all the signs and was sure i was going to o today or tomorrow(crystalized saliva test,high cervix,a little EWCM,yesterday I had twinges...me and OH were gonna tonight...but i just went to the bathroom and when i wiped there was brown/pinkishred!!!!! What is that? Have any of you experienced this? Please let me know if you have any info...the left days ago

 

[NJAngelAPN]

@hoping, it's not unusual to get some mid-cycle spotting.

@Chelsea - thanks. This has been such a weird cycle. The last two days have been just enough spotting to warrant a panty-liner. So bizarre. Getting excited for the fertility MD, though - DH is nervous, I can tell; he still will barely talk about it. We'll see what happens. He's so worried that there's "something wrong with him." Poor guy. My gyn told me the most likely cause is something simple, like "hostile" CM, or something like that. My cycles are too regular, and I ovulate like clockwork.

 

[HappiestMom]

Spunky....I hope everything turns out ok and that you are able to enjoy the last few months of being preggie..yours has gone by soo fast!!! also hope you can get out of work and maybe be a little stress free without having to deal with that..

Cottleston..hope you feel better soon too....cant believe you have less than a month left!!! cant wait to see pics of your precious little one!!

Hoping....hope your levels are getting higher and higher..just remember even a US at this stage will only be a sac..you cant really see anything baby...till about 6 weeks...but just seeing the sac for me was comforting that first time!!

NJ...i think most of the time the reason guys are stressed during ttc is because they automatically assume if something is wrong its them..and that its serious...hoping for you its just minor and we see a baby ticker soon!!

Well....boob foreplay is totally out now lol...soo painful for him to even freaking look at them lol....eating something then going to bed...hoping tomorrow will go better wise than today....

 

[CottlestonPie]

@chelsea... If there's one thing I've learnt this week it's that work really isn't worththe stress. If you can get signed off, do it. You'll feel so much more relaxed the second you know you don't have to deal with that stress any more. It's such a relief! Especially with all youve been through so far. Hope everythings ok with James... Waiting for that next ultrasound can feel like forever but it'll fly by. I feel like I've been waiting weeks for mine but it's suddenly crept up on me and I have mine tomorrow! xx

Thanks for the luck.... my numbers went from in the 200's to 1,568.. That was in 5 days. I feel so much! I go on Tuesday for a ultrasound to rule out ectopic pregnancy.

I'm having a hard time with the boy names for some reason.

 

[sparklebunny]

Hey ladies!

@cottleston -GOOD LUCK! for your ultrasound tomorrow x

@ Good- glad to hear those numbers have gone up! boys names are always hard, I was so glad when i had a girl caus i only had girls names ready!! Biblical names are always nice..?

I'm doing good, having a few symptoms but truly trying to ignore them until the 20th!!

@ Mrs J, how's that MS coming along?? I remember Ginger was really good for getting rid of it, and regular eating!

 

[NJAngelAPN]

I was just thinking, this is such a crazy thread. We've got ladies with fresh BFPs, ladies halfway along, and ladies just about due to pop - then we've got the TTC girls, and the fertility specialist comes in.
I'm getting more nervous the closer it gets!

 

[Spunky]

Lindsay - guys can be so weird about their "junk." I'm sure he's nervous, but at least he wont (and you wont!) have to wait much longer! 5 days! Woohoo!

Erica - my boobs were off limits so long that my husband is still surprised he can play with them again!

Katherine- I had a talk with my mom today about going out of work... My blood pressure was high enough at my appointment today that I had to pee in a cup to see if there was any protien. There wasn't, but now they're going to watch me closely I guess. Work has been/is really stressful. I just worry about what I'm going to do without a job. If I'm at home too much I start to get depressed, but I can find other things to do. LOL, which is worse: depressed or stressed out with high blood pressure? I really think I may not go back after spring break... (that would mean 6 days left of work).
What's your ultrasound for? Toby doing good? Good luck tomorrow!

 

[HappiestMom]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAWqrsp7axM can you believe that a douche would come up with something like that.... I mean seriously..

This is so crazy, i cant see anyone taking anything as outrageous as this seriously, and i doubt it will go anywheres.....

 

[HappiestMom]

I know..I mean..how ******** do you have to be....clearly he doesnt realize anything about science and that it happens for a reason..a physical reason....even as painful and emotional as it is...and no person should be blamed for it...stupid people....

 

[HappiestMom]

For all you Big Bang Theory fans..hubbys work place was just mentioned!!! Oak Ridge National Lab!!! how awesome is that!!!!!

What's your ultrasound for? Toby doing good? Good luck tomorrow!

We have to provide urine samples every midwife appointment to check for proteins... I didn't realise it wasn't a regular thing outside the uk. Good to see they're keeping an eye on it though.
I think if your BP is raised already, it'd definitely be an idea to leave a little early. It is kinds hard to find things to keep yourself busy... Ive never washed up so often or taken so many naps in all my life! I've just ordered a cross stitch to keep me busy, and of course there's the nursery and hospital bags to finish... Just need the motivation now!

Toby's great thanks. He's squirming away... Got a horrible feeling he's popped himself out of my pelvis to float around a bit, the little sod! lol
The scan is just a growth scan... Apparently due to my high bmi they like to check baby's size and position at 36ish weeks... Just to check progress really. Hopefully he's still engaging and hasn't flipped back to sunny side up!
