Those that TTC together, Stick together!! 4 BABY BOYS/3 BABY GIRLS

[loveinbinary]

Dee- Roman is doing wonderful! He's up to 10lbs 3oz. He's just a happy little peanut. He plays the smile game with me all the time now, I'll give him a kiss and he'll smile at me so I do it again he doesn't realize that baby smiles are so much better than mommy kisses so I'm getting the better end of the game lol. He's also learning to use his voice and its the most adorable sound I've ever heard in my life. Last night he actually slept 5 hours in his crib! Normally he won't last more than 10 minutes before he starts crying. I folded up my feather comforter and put it in his crib to lay on. He likes it because it's cushy and forms around him so he feels like he's being held. Of course we pushed the part around his head down so he can't get his face stuck in it.

I just love being a mommy. It's the greatest feeling in the whole world.

I really hope your doctor will test you so you don't have to suffer another loss. Maybe ask for a d&c? Clear out the lining and have it build brand new in case there is anything left over or causing the placenta to attach incorrectly?

I feel like I haven't been on here in forever! Kylar! Ny, it's so great to hear how well you are all doing. I'm sorry about the leaking bbs & pain during nursing You seem to be in great spirits about your little man even after a difficult delivery...I wonder if being a second time mom makes a big difference in coping! I think I'm going to be a mess

Rosa, so excited for you and your progress this cycle Retrieval Friday still?

Dee, it's nice to see you here...are you doing okay?

Mrs, I hope you O soon, dammit & it's a good one!

MrsM, hopefully this cycle is the lucky one

Love, I'm glad you guys are doing well and Roman is turning into a smiley porker Have you had any resolution on your maternity leave issue?

AFM, doing pretty well in second tri. Sleepy, lots of hearburn, and constipation. Yay! I'm not enjoying some of those things, but mostly I am loving being pregnant and feeling his thumping and flips. We ordered our crib & dresser this weekend and are starting to clear out the room that will be the nursery; every few days, I start feeling overwhelmed with all of the things that have to be purchased and completed in the next 2 months or so But, we start hypnobirthing classes on Thursday and my next US is next week!

Dee thanks for the advice. Makes me realize I am doing fine and keep going!

I cried yesterday like crazy, thinking maybe baby blues have hit. I don't know but seems I'm kind of down. I think the breast pain and incision pain are having atoll on me. I'm off the pain meds because didn't wanna keep going with them and expected the pain to be gone but nonsuch luck. Apparently they had to stretch a lot farther than a normal c section and my body is so sore. Also, my boobs lak all the time and it's keeping me from wanting to go anywhere.....hoping to just get throu it and enjoy my little guy whonis sooooo adorable and lovable.

Ready just wait for third tri. I thought that was rough. Hope you get the stuff all ready new weren't ready when ours came early!

Good luck MM and Mrs!

Dee hope you get the tests done. It could be an easy fix to get your baby to stick.

Love wow ,,10 lbs for roman. That's great! I also have e medela pump in style Dvance. It's e one I got from the hospital. I need to buy the car adapter and a corset to make it hands free. I soooooooii wish I bought hands free one.

 

[MrsMM24]

DEE, I hope that you can get some realyl good information at your appt!

READY, thanks! I certainly am going to try to give the eggy no other place to go but towards the bfp lining of my uterus!!

LOVE, good to hear that you and Roman are doing well, he is just adorable. Hey, you and NY and the cute boys, I wonder if that means we will have a boy trend in here when we get our bfps soon.... hmmmm...

AFM...AF is easing out rather quickly. I was heavy for couple days and light to spotting yesterday and now, spotting.... I am ready though, today I began to finalize "donations" scheduling and shipping, and got all my vitamins, etc (baby aspirin, B6, green tea, folic acid, Primrose Oil, etc... It appears that OV will come in the next couple weeks, plan, plan, plan, that's what I am up to!

 

[loveinbinary]

ready- yes, we have the right paperwork going and it looks like things are finally straightening out. Though I still have no idea when I'll actually get a check.
I'm so glad to hear second tri is going well for you, aside from the standard pregnancy unpleasantries. I loved being pregnant, it's such an amazing feeling. But now I love being a mommy and I know you will too. You're turn is just around the corner!! Try to relax, I know it's hard. I would get overwhelmed too when I thought about how much stuff I still needed to get together, especially after the scare of preterm labor. Having the crib and dresser ordered alone is a big weight off the shoulders. What other things do you still need? Ooh hypnobirthing. Does this mean you are trying for a natural birth? I can't wait to see your next scan pics!! He's going to look like a tiny little person instead of a little alien lol.

I had the baby blues the first few days I was home. I'd find myself down and crying for no reason at all. The pain has a lot to do with it. I would suggest going back on the pain killers. I didn't want to take them either but I noticed I was more depressed when I was in pain. Being in so much pain makes it hard to take care of LO. Are you wearing nursing pads? That should help keep you from leaking all over the place. They even have reuseable nursing pads that you can just throw in the washer. Just give it a couple weeks and you should start feeling a lot better. I found that being out with Roman made me feel better because people were always coming up and telling me how adorable he is. Nothing makes you feel than people telling you how perfect your LO is. I think maybe getting out of the house would make you feel better.
I bought my pump from the hospital too, came with a nice bag, bottles and bottle cooler complete with ice pack. The car charger is really nice. I'm able to pump while driving! lol. I think I may want to get the hands bra as well but I would still probably wearing my nursing bra or tank over it for support.

MrsM- I don't know if there will be more boy bfps to come. This year was just flooded with boys. Almost everyone I know who is pregnant or had their baby ended up with boys. Maybe the babies due next year will be girls, or even more boys lol. We'll find out though!

 

[MrsMM24]

LOVE, I will be happy with either, but I think all three of us are secretly hoping for a little boy. I think we all realize that we need just alittle more testosterone in the house!

AFM...Nothing new to report, all can be seen in my chart, I am preparing for OV in the next week or so. Getting everything in order! As many can remember or read in my journal, I am going to use baby aspirin, robitussin, folic acid, even primrose oil, B6, green tea, preseed, softcups and at a minimum 3 "donations". We are going to try SMEP!!! We will catch this eggy in Oct!!!

 

[Kylarsmom]

Ny- Yes it does hurt even if you're doing it right, at least like the first few days to week or so! If you need any BF advise, I BF kylar for 9 months and am almost to month 3 with Kendon! Not saying Im an expert, but I do love to help! It does hurt a heck of a lot worse if the latch isn't correct though, his mouth should cover almost the entire areola when he eats, it needs to be open very wide. also make sure his bottom lip isnt sucked in, the bottom lip sometimes gets in his mouth instead of around the areola and you dont even notice. kendon was doing that in the hospital, he was still latched so i didnt realize he wasnt latched correctly, it was hurting tremendously until i realized this and would just pop out his bottom lip each time. i found that pumping hurt me way less than the baby, my babies must have a strong suck lol.

 

[rosababy]

Rosa, so excited for you and your progress this cycle Retrieval Friday still?

Yes, retrieval is officially Friday. I have a few good eggs...wishing for some more, but I'll take what I've got. Lining and estridol numbers look excellent. I'm nervous!

Ladies, I know I've been lurking and not posting...I hope to join the baby/preggo talk soon. Sometimes, I feel a bit out of the loop since I'm not temping or checking for ewcm or bf yet... I'm still thinking of you lots and rooting for you all.

 

[Kylarsmom]

NY oh and i cant believe you stopped pain meds! I literally had to take mine for 3-4 weeks! i mean not round the clock for that long, but the last couple weeks i took them, i just took as needed, usually before bed and when i woke up... but for weeks i'd over-do it and i be in tears and have to take the pain meds.

 

[Deethehippy]

Hi Ladies

The doctor is going to send me to a miscarriage specialist
Hopefully i will get some answers and if not at least i will know its probably ok to try again and that i tried everything i could.

Hope you are all doing good xx

 

[Deethehippy]

Good luck Mrs with everything - hope you vits etc help you catch that eggie.

 

[rosababy]

Dee, good news! I hope you get some answers.

 

[nypage1981]

Kylar thanks for the lower lip tip. I haven't noticed that yet but will be sure to check the next time he is on the boob. This is just a rare second that he is not. Is it normal for them to he on the boob constantly? I can't even barely leave the house. He always falls asleep after one aide and i am too afraid to wake him cuz then he will just want more and it hurts so bad. is it ok to do just one sid at a time?

Yea, I'm officially on no pain meds. However, my percocet were almost gone, I only got 20 pills so figure that every 4 hours those first days at home and they were almost gone anyways. Only were ejough for like a week. I keep over doing it and getting very sore then bleeding more. I'm getting really down by the healing process but need to have some patience. Hope your boys are keeping healthy and you are doing well!

Rosa I hope the amount of follies that you have are enough and good luck! I m here rooting you on too!

Dee im glad you will get some answers. Such good news!

MM, sounds like you've got it covered. Lol. Hope that recipe is a good one!

 

[loveinbinary]

Dee- that's wonderful news!! I hope this specialist can help you get the super sticky bean you deserve.

Ny- the reason he nurses all day long is because you let him fall asleep. The boob is jus so comforting to them that they'll fall asleep. Roman doesn't nurse often but when he does it doesn't take long for him to start dozing. It is perfectly okay for him to nurse only on one side. The problem is you don't wake him when he falls asleep. He isn't actually full but so comfy that he falls asleep so as soon as he wakes he's going to want more. I know you don't want to wake him because nursing hurts so much but it'll hurt less in the long run if he isn't nursing constantly. Offering both sides and nursing till he can't be woken up and leaving him will a nice full belly will allow him to go longer between feeds and you'll be able to leave the house.

 

[nypage1981]

Love even tho I'm scared to wake him, I guess indo try. I always break his latch on one side when I feel like it's comfort sucking and I try burping him or changing him. So that will wake him sometimes and I switch. Still seems I either have to fed or pump too often to go anywhere because I have a problem with filling up fast and leaking. I walked to get my daughter from school today, was gone like 40 min, and was leaking. It's really bad.

 

[loveinbinary]

It's good that you try to wake him. Roman was horrible about falling asleep while nursing. 5minutes on the boob and he was out and couldn't be woken. I would suggest maybe doubling or tripling up on the nursing lads to prevent it from going through your shirt. How often are you pumping?

 

[loveinbinary]

Pads... Not lads...

 

[BrandysBabies]

Hey ladies. Sorry I havent been on the last few days. I have had the worst cold and suffered through it without taking anything. I know I can take Tylonol products but just didnt want the chemicals in my body with the baby. It was hell, let me tell you! THe worst chest cold I think I have ever had. I still have a pretty bad cough and get worn out quickly, but I am feeling better. I have my next appt tomorrow, looking forward to it. Maybe an early scan? That would be great! Well, I am going to get some breakfast, be back later.

 

[ready4baby]

I love hearing all your comments about nursing--that's a big topic for just about every new or future mommy! I'm sorry you are leaking so much Ny...everyone has their own issues...you have like too much milk and some don't have enough. I can't even imagine the discomfort of surgery plus sore nips I would think your doctor would refill your prescription if you needed it...

Brandy, sounds like a nasty cold! I'm glad you are feeling a little better...

Rosa, one more day!!!! No worries about not posting...you are going to be in the baby making game very very shortly now...

 

[MrsMM24]

DEE, this is fantastic news, I am sure that the specialist will be able to brighten your journey!

NY, I definitely hope I have covered all the bases...

BRANDY, so good to see you are beginning to feel better. YAY for your appt tomorrow! Hope all goes well Hun!

ROSA, same with you, hope all goes as planned tomorrow!

AFM...Nothing new to report, all can be seen in my chart... CM checks begin today, and OPKS starting this weekend. Stocked up on baby aspirin, robitussin, folic acid, even primrose oil, B6, green tea, preseed, softcups and "donations". Operation Prepare for SMEP has begun!!! I have been exercising really regularly as well so I am feeling good.
