Ok girls, tell me if you think I am going crazy. But I SWEAR the last 2 days, about the same time in the afternoon, really low down, I feel movement. I know 10.5 weeks is technically too early but I SWEAR it’s not gas or anything. Am I mad? Or can being slim and it being my 2nd make it possible to feel slight movement this soon?

I thought I felt stuff around then, but it stopped completely, and I didn't feel much after that. So I'm not sure, but I really think it was baby.

Well, I'm all done with my surgery. It went great. I'm not in too much pain so that makes me pretty happy. I haven't even needed to take any pain medications! Walking is a little funny, it just feels weird. I feel so much less stressed at least. I'm 8dpo today, which is usually around the time AF would show so at least my efforts to extend my LP seem to be helping. I'm not sure but I think I got my BFP at 9 or 10 dpo with Lucy. The next couple days will tell for sure.

T- I swear I felt some fluttering early like that with Lucy. I don't think it's impossible! Sorry Jack's dad is being an ass. I hope he starts acting like a decent human being soon. Hopefully Bertha doesn't rain on your picnic! How did your OH react? I think it's wonderful. I don't really believe in random chance so I think this is a meant to be thing!

Uhg. I just have to get this off my chest. Today was much worse for my knee. All the anesthesia has worn off and it has started to swell, causing a lot of pain. I'm supposed to be off of it, have it iced and elevated most of my day. I'm allowed to walk but only a little bit. Since DH is home this weekend I thought he would be able to handle my duties while I recouped. I just spent an hour hobbling around picking up all of the toys, snippy cups and dishes strewn about the house because he pretty much let the kids run wild all day. I ended up taking my first pain pill and regretting it since it totally knocked me out most of the day. If I had been conscious I would have made the kids not drag out so many toys and put them away. He sat on his butt watching Netflix all day instead. Then while I'm grumbling about having toys all over he gets started on how many toys the kids have and why don't we throw some away, or put some in storage. I know the kids have quite a few toys but they all have neat homes. When you actually keep on top of it then it's not too bad. I just want to strangle him. Then I made the annoyed comment about how I should have known better than to think I could take a day off. Of course he took offense and is mad at me now. At least he's doing the dishes now to avoid me lol

Oh Kayla - men are just so clueless sometimes!! Hope you and oh made up in the end and that your knee isn't as sore today!! Hopefully he will do more to keep on top of things for the rest of your recouperation!

 

[MrsStutler]

Thanks, he finally apologized to me for not helping more. I always feel super guilty asking him to take care of the kids or do the housework so I tend to not say anything until I just can't take it anymore and explode. I think about every 3 months or so we have the "who has it worse" fight It's become kind of comical now.

I totally regret this stupid surgery now. I thought it was going to be a pretty simple procedure but what he ended up doing involves a lot of physical therapy...because I have so much time for that with working 2 days a week and going to school 2 days a week, plus the insane homework.

Hi girls! How is everyone doing?
Kayla, how is recovery going?
Well I am 12 weeks, yay!! Only 48 hours until the scan and it can’t come soon enough – I have been so anxious about it, we just want to see our little poppet on the screen and know it’s all ok so we can shout ut from the roof tops.
Saying that, I have quite a bump already so everyone at work, although I have not announced it, knows I am expecting, I have tried to hide it but it seems pointless.

[harri]

Hey T! Happy 12 weeks!

I want to see a bump pic!

Good luck at the scan, you'll have to post pics.
I've got a scan on Saturday to check baby is progressing. I had one on Sunday and I was measuring 5 weeks and 6 days and there was a yolk sac. Praying for a HB on Saturday, I'll be 6+5. I have one the following Tuesday as well because I've had an infection so they're monitoring me closely over the next week.

Hope everyone is okay xxxx

 

[honeysuede]

Hi Harri!! yep I will post scan and bump pics I thinkg
Good luck for saturday - it sounds like things are progressing for you but I know the worry only too well, am so nervous about this scan myself. With Jack I had a scan at 7 weeks due to my history but this time I haven't had one yet.
How are you feeling in yourself?
xxxxxxxxxx

 

[harri]

I'm feeling good thanks, how are you feeling?
My cravings are mental and I have so many food aversions! Xxx

 

[waiting2c]

Good luck with your scans T and harri!! I know that worry too, I had one at 5w5d this time and they worried me that it wasn't viable and had to wait till 9 weeks to find out.

I have anatomy scan is 13 days! Woohoo! Can't wait to know if blue or pink! I am wondering if pink as this time has been so different.

Agree with Harri t that we need a bump pic!!

 

[MrsStutler]

Oh I can't wait to see scan pictures and bump pictures! I'm thinking positive that all will be just perfect!

I'm doing better, still have a cantaloupe for a knee and quite a bit of pain. I'm trying to stay off of it as much as I possibly can but the kids don't make that exactly easy First day of school tomorrow and I'm already stressing about it.

I've been trying my very best to completely ignore TTC and let it go but it seems pregnancy is everywhere I look at the moment. I work with at least 6 pregnant women I know of right now so it's hard to not think about it. Plus I'm starting my doula training next week. I found out another one of my classmates wants a L&D position at our hospital so I'm hoping doing the doula thing will give me a bit of an edge. It's notoriously difficult to get into that department.

 

[waiting2c]

Hope your knee pain goes away soon Kayla - must make getting everything done quite hard!

Good luck with all the studies!
