TIE WELCOME JACK, HENRY, DEVON, ROXAS, PENELOPE, MATILDA, THEO and Charlotte!!

[MrsStutler]

Thanks!
Right now I'm toying with the idea of making up a mock "report card" with my college's letterhead with all my exam grades and what not then at the bottom have it say "pregnancy test +". Our semester is almost over so I can tell my parents I got an "end of semester report" or something. I'm still not sure what I want to do with my in-laws. I was thinking of putting Roxas in an "I'm going to be a big brother" shirt and see how long it takes them to notice

I think, for me, it's all down to my body. I got my first post partum period almost exactly a month after Roxas was born and ever since then it's been pretty darn regular, albeit longer than the textbook 28 days but hey, I take what I can get. I know you can actually ovulate without a period but it's not all too common. From monitoring my cycles I was ovulating but the LP was just super short, which I've read is a side effect of EBF. I'm not sure if Roxas getting older and thus nursing a little less had anything to do with finally getting a positive but it might have had an influence. I think it mostly has to do with how your body responds to BFing and the ways it alters your hormones.

Love the big brother tee shirt idea! Lol that would be super cute


I'm probably not goong to be able to start ttc until after I decide to quit nursing.
My body didn't do anything but produce milk while I was nursing lol

 

[MrsStutler]

Possibly, but I hope it works out for you! I make a terrible cow, so I think my body doesn't respond all that strongly to breastfeeding. I've fought this low supply since the first few months, even now I'm super lucky if I can pump 3/4 of an ounce in one pumping session.

I was hoping I'd have a little longer until all of the fun symptoms started up but apparently I don't get to be that lucky I feel like crap today and I've already thrown up my lunch so I'm resigned to nibbling crackers at the moment. I'm kind of ticked about losing my lunch since my best friend took me out to a nice restaurant today I'm not super stoked about clinical work tomorrow either, my super sense of smell is back and oh goodness the smells in that hospital...yuk.

[Jess19]

Aww love the new ticker!!

 

[MrsStutler]

Aww love the new ticker!!

Aw, thanks. I really debated on whether or not to add it just yet...but I have no willpower and did it anyways

Here is the letter I made to give to my parents. I'm really excited to see if they catch it right away or not. We are going to tell both sets of parents on Thanksgiving. We still haven't decided on what to do for his parents, he liked my idea of making a "big brother" shirt. My father in law is super un-observant so I think it will be fun to see how long it takes.

xxxxx

 

[Jess19]

Lol! I love the letter! It's so cute!

So how are you feeling? Any sickness at all?

I keep thinking to myself that if me and DH have another it's going to be a total different kind of pregnancy having to take care of a baby while prego lol idk if o can do it but I sure as hell will try!!!!
My bestfriendhad her daughter last Jan (our due dates are days off) so our little girls are going to be almost exactly a year apart
She wants another too but she's getting married this June and waiting until after that
we were talking yesterday about ttc at the same time!
We tried with our daughters but it took me 15 months ttc hope it doesn't happen again

When will your due date be??

 

[mammag]

Very sick baby on my hands this morning, been up since 2 AM with Tristen puking and.... the other thing, lol. He's so sick, not to mention I took tylenol PM to help me sleep last night, which I probably haven't done in months, so the first night I take some, I have to be up all night, so now I feel like a very tired zombie person. Soo, yeah, good times in the Hatfield house!!

 

[Jess19]

Aww poor baby hope he gets better soon
Sounds like everyone should be sleeping good tonight though!

 

[Jess19]

So is anyone going black Friday shopping?!?!?!
I am!!!

 

[mammag]

I literally can not wait until bed time, lol. And no school tomorrow, so I'm going to sleep late if I can! But then I have to make all my pies and stuff for Thursday, and hope the kids are better before everyone starts arriving with new babies, or else I'll be making all of this food just for us!

 

[Jess19]

Yeah I have to start baking too! Fun fun!
I think I'm going to do some cookies tonight pies tomorrow

 

[waiting2c]

Hey everyone!! Congrats Kayla - that's awesome!

Getting much closer now Jess!!!

As for me - I got engaged last night!! Mike asked me when we went to bed. Haven't been able to tell people as was too late to call though so I've barely slept as too excited!! Going to call people later this morn. Not putting on Facebook as want to tell people myself. So so excited!!

 

[mammag]

Congrats t!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jess19]

Awww how exciting!!!! Super big congrats!!!!
Did you set a date???

 

[waiting2c]

Nope not yet, will be in 2014 I would say, need to get bck to work and earn some money to save for it lol!!

 

[MrsStutler]

Oh my goodness! Congrats T! That is SO exciting!

I hope Tristen feels better, poor thing

My main goal for this week/weekend is to avoid public as much as possible. We don't have the money to go black friday shopping and I'm not really all that into it anyways. I might get up to go get my free gift from JCPenney (it's a little 2012 Disney snowglobe) but other than that I'm not leaving the house! So far I've been truly surprised at how fast my body is changing. I've got an almost constant dizzy feeling, I have been nauseated in the afternoons, and my tummy is soooooo bloated and uncomfy.

I saw my OB seeing a patient on the same floor I happened to be on at the hospital today and I couldn't get the big dumb grin off my face for at least an hour.

 

[MrsStutler]

Since today was the day I was supposed to get AF I thought it was fitting to use my last FRER, and I was not disappointed
