I'm a little curious to see your tests lol

What made you decide to stop TTC?

 

[mammag]

This is from today

And I'm just done. Nothing to be sad about. At this point, if I had another baby, there would be 7 and 10 years between the kids. IDK. I just decided that I was done. I can't keep doing this. Tecumseh is always telling me that I should be happy with what I have, which I hate to hear. But it's true. I see the woman on here, struggling for years to even get one, and I finally realized it for myself. I need to be happy with the gifts I have been given. My little boys are miracles. And I need my sanity to care for them!

 

[mammag]

Oh and yes. We have definitely , I really didn't expect to get a pos OPK so soon.

Sending super big hugs your way




Oh and your opk still looks positive

 

[MrsStutler]

Hmmm, I'd say your OPK is definitely positive Grace! It takes a strong woman to be happy with your current family, I'm already thinking about the time when we are going to be done having kids (I'll be pretty young still) and it's a little depressing. What about something like Paraguard? It's hormone free and apparently works very well. That's what I'm getting after we are done having kids.

Well I had my last day of clinical practice today. It felt great leaving there, I was skipping out to my car. I'm so glad I don't have to wear my ridiculous white outfit for another few months. We have a final exam review on Thursday and then our final is on Tuesday!!

I am so unbelievably bloated, and as a result I feel so huge but not in the good cute baby bump way...in the I look like I ate ten pies at Thanksgiving fat way.

Here are a couple recent pictures, me in my clinical get up and my 5 week bloating which is absurd, and the little monster of course!

This made me laugh till I almost peed myself. Wanted to share!!!

Fx for you Laura.
Getting close Jess.
Good for you Kayla and Grace.
Hi everyone else.

 

[MrsStutler]

Ok I'm supposed to be studying for my final exam tomorrow but I HAD to share this practice question I got:

In a typical menstrual cycle, when does ovulation occur:
a)Between day 15 and 28
b)On the first day of the new cycle
c)When there is sperm present
d)On day 14



Wouldn't it be nice if it were answer C? I couldn't stop laughing long enough to answer the question!

Hell, it would be nice if it were answer D!!!

I'm officially in my second semester of nursing school!
I passed my class with an 89.6% so I have a solid B, I wish they would round up so I could have an A but I'm still pretty happy to have just passed the class!
We get a six week break now which I am super excited about. I can't wait to just enjoy being a SAHM without the student workload on top of it. Next semester is going to be brutal though. I've been told by one of the later semester students "be prepared to get kicked in the balls" I'm a little scared, but I'm confident...for now.

Roxas goes to his 9 month check up today and then tomorrow I have my first OB appointment I am really, really hoping she does an ultrasound and gives me an official due date. My bloating is finally calming down but I still feel sick every now and then. My boobs have gotten even bigger, which I didn't think was possible.

I had to start giving Roxas formula I think the pregnancy has really depleted my milk supply. I still nurse him, but he will only nurse for a few seconds and then he starts screaming. It's been so tough on me, and it's been rough for me trying to make peace with not getting to my goal of a year. I'm hoping that once my hormones get under control and I start producing more I can start nursing him again and I'd love to tandem nurse once new munchkin is here.

Anyways that's the update from me. How is everybody else doing?

 

[Jess19]

Hey Kayla congrats!
I bet your excited to have 6 weeks off just in time for the holidays!
Don't worry about your next phase of schooling I'm sure you'll do great!

I saw his pic on face book at the drs, he is SO stinking adorable!!!
Oh and I love those cloth diapers! I've actually been thinking about trying them out. They seem like a huge money saver!
I hope you get an ultrasound too! I love seeing pics!


I'm doing ok....some days.
I've been having BH a lot (esp bad yesterday) like every 10-15 for acouple hours. But they don't progress so I know its not early labor! Its just that they are so darn uncomfortable and they scare the heck out of me
I think I've been starting to loose my plug too it seems too early for that

I went into early labor with DS at 35 weeks. Which is right around the corner.
So I've been freaking out lately.
Plus I'm terrified to give birth but I REALLY want to! I think I'm scared of the pain and all.
Its such a weird mix of emotions lol

 

[MrsStutler]

Yeah, I'm glad we get the holidays together this year, usually I'm working a ton during this time.

Eek, I'd be freaked out about the BH too! Take it easy and stay off your feet as much as you can I know, easier said than done I am eager to see little Charlotte but not before it's time! I was losing plug for what seemed like ever, probably a good month now that I think about it. Hopefully it doesn't mean much for you and she'll stay put for a bit!

I bet you will do great with the birth! It will probably all be over and done before you know it. I'm already freaking out a little bit thinking "aw, crap I gotta do that again?" I think I scared the pants off of my SIL by telling her all the nitty gritty details of my laborwhoops!

 

[MrsStutler]

Well our appointment went well, and baby looks good. It's just an itty bitty peanut right now but we got to see the little heart beating away. The heart rate was 103 and the Dr. said anything above 100 is great. I was off by only two days on my due date, the official one is now July 31st so I am exactly 6wks today!
I was so relieved to see the little blip on the screen, I kept thinking something would end up being wrong. I go back the first week of the new year, which doesn't seem to be all that far away!

Here is the little blip!

 

[waiting2c]

Awww cool!! That's super news Kayla

 

[Jess19]

Awesome!!!!

Love the new avitar pix too!!! He's so adorable!

 

[MrsStutler]

Even more good news tonight too! I logged on to my school website where we communicate with our teachers and see our grades and thanks to several students challenging some test questions my grade got bumped from the 89.6 to a 90.2% so I actually passed with an A!! Today has just been perfect. Except right now I'm fighting off the urge to revisit my dinner in a way I don't really want to.

 

[Jess19]

Yey! That's great news! Congrats!!!
You def deserved it!!
