The One Year Strong Ladies!

Congrats NJ...gotta love that clomid huh lol...cant wait to see the HCG levels!! will they give you an early scan? I guess Busy having Kendall this morning made room for one more preggie lady in the world...

 

[NJAngelAPN]

Thanks Erica! I didn't even take Clomid this month - that was LAST cycle! I guess it threw my system off enough to make it hospitable! This was the "I'm not trying" cycle - no temping, no charting, no OPKs, I don't even know when I O'd. I only took the HPT because I was planning on calling the doc tomorrow to be like "WTF, why haven't I started my period?" and I knew that they would ask if I POAS. Was NOT expecting that at all.

I think it was Busy who told me that it would happen this month because I wasn't trying (either Busy or Dare), but I'm thinking Busy is my good luck charm!

 

[HappiestMom]

yep..Busy can do that lol lol..and shes super busy now with 4 kids...she just spreads that baby luck around lol..

I have an interview tomorrow for a really good executive administrative job for an engineering company tomorrow afternoon. It is a long term temp to permanent job. The pay is good too! After the shit week I have had I could use some good news if I got this job!!! Wish me luck girls.

I am taking DH to the airport early tomorrow morning, and the funeral is on Saturday. DH seems to be doing a little better each day since we got the bad news even though this has been very difficult for him.

 

[NJAngelAPN]

That's awesome about the interview hun! fx'd about you getting it!!!! And as for the funeral- i am very sorry. I am glad he will be going soon though and getting everything over with. There is just no easy way for him to deal with that situation. Sending good thoughts his way.

Thanks, ladies! It's so surreal. DH and I aren't telling anyone till we see that heartbeat. I go to the RE in the morning for Betas. Fx'd!!

I'm so excited for you!!! Hearing the heartbeat is so amazing... it really is. I cried the first i don't know how many times when i heard it. And i still get nervous when they are looking for it. Now that she moves more, i can feel her kicking and i'm still silently praying they will hear a heartbeat. I guess, once we get here, the worrying begins and continues our whole lives right? Aw hun i'm so excited

I have my 28week apt August 2nd and am getting a 3d/4d session at the Drs then too and cant wait..nursery is def slacking...hubby had to put up drywall..almost cut of a fingertip in the process..it was barely hanging on..but its healed up so all he has to do is fill in seams..sand it down...and then we are ready for primer and paint...

Hey ladies!!!! Kendall is here! ill update you all, then when i get a minute i will go back and check out posts and see whats been going on!!
induction went great. very very veyr painful labor and delivery, but it was quick. about 6-7 hours. she was born at 8:12am on July 12th. she weighed 7lbs 15 oz and is 20.5 inches long. she has some black hair with natural brown highlights, although its pretty short compared to her brothers and sister. she is soooooo sweet. a very calm, peaceful baby and nursing perfectly. my milk came in today. she has no health problems and never cries! so far perfect first 24 hours. we are still in the hospital, my bleeding was a little bit more than the hematologist was liking, so they ordered more meds and another round of blood testing in the morning. i dont mind staying an extra night because that will only help me recover quicker. i tore in 3 places, so im pretty stitched up. my dr does not episiotomies, he says natural tears heal faster and honestly i believe he is right. compared to my episiotomy with my first and second, and now a tear with her it is less painful even now jsut the next day. im working on uploading her pics to my computer then i will post a few. OH os my heart rate went from 130 to 80 jsut from delivery so im cleared from cardio to discontue meds and i follow up in 4 weeks! im soooo relieved!!!!

Thanks NJ!!!! I also agree that all of the ladies on this thread are so wonderful and supportive, and that includes you to hun!!!

Now since all of the girls that have been originals to the thread are either prego or have a baby, please send some of the good luck and baby dust to me so I can follow the trend!!! Hopefully in August when I can start my clomid I will be lucky and get a BFP after only one or two cycles and follow in the footsteps of NJ and MRsjerome!!! Me and DH will be pulling out all of the stops, using the soft cups, preseed, OPKs.... So hopefully in a few months I will be joining you girls and be prego...If the clomid doesnt do the job than the next step for me and DH is IUI!!!! So I feel good because I have a plan and am taking steps to make our dream a reality!!!

 

[NJAngelAPN]

She's beautiful, Busy! So alert!

 

[NJAngelAPN]

Wannabe, having a plan makes all the difference, doesn't it? I felt so much better once we knew what to do. Funny how it happened on it's own, anyway. I always laughed people off "It'll happen when you don't think about it." Guess it has to happen before you believe it.
