Hello dears! Sorry for being gone so long!! DH and I bought a house!! Well....a lot and our house will be done in 6-8 months! Designing a house is so much fun! But expensive haha. So it's kind of a big deal because we live and own a business in southern California, and the house we bought is in Arizona!! So we are working out the details of what we are going to do about the business. But you know what, there is a reason for everything, and I think this is the reason that I didn't get pregnant the last two months.

 

[BelleNuit]

Wow, Z that will be a huge move!!! Very exciting for you though!!! I do believe that everything happens for a reason

HappyZ designing a house is fun! dont stress because it will never be perfect. You will always say i wish we did this or that but at the end it will be ur design!

You can always send me the blueprint and i can look over

Well ladies I'm 6 dpo (man do my cycles ever race by). And I'm already feeling PMS symptoms starting to set in. Honestly, this cycle the TWW progesterone side effects came on strong, it was like BOOM welcome to your two weeks of bloated, irritable hell lol.

There is the distinct possibility that I O'd a little earlier (even though I'm fairly confident I O'd on CD 12). So I could be as late as 8 dpo which may explain why my TWW symptoms seemed to come on so strongly this cycle.

I'm already starting to feel depressed and moody. This always happens in the week before AF.

I dont think its progesterone that gives u that many symptoms, it increases the temp but wont make u feel moody. Its the estrogen that causes those symptoms thats why its same as pms.

So dont feel down by symptom spotting. I felt like af was coming and still get af like cramps.

Here you go I'm not too stressed because we are way below the budget we were going to spend in CA so we are totally spoiling ourselves. We aren't crazy, so we don't need super fancy stuff, but if we want to upgrade something that is hard to change in the future (flooring or roofline) we are doing it now. It is so much fun!

I love the plan! and love that there is no basement. Hate basements!

Usually young couples keep the kid bedrooms close to their bedroom. But u can always keep the baby in ur bedroom first year.

Just do a furniture layout for the master bedroom and see if you can fit a bassinet. Also i would do an angled kitchen island.

Ladies! I've missed you so!

BabyC - CONGRATS WOMAN! I think it's adorable DH cried when you told him!

Golden - I'm really sorry DH is having a hard time. My OH is also unemployed, and it's different for men. They have to feel needed, like they're providing for their family in some way. My DH doesn't do things right or the way I would do them, but I'm trying to let go and be grateful he's cleaning at all. He bought groceries alone for the first time after I asked him to. He said he had no idea what to get, so I just told him he needed to figure it out, I can't micromanage. Whatever he does will be helpful and appreciated. He also did my laundry (we usually do our own). That I don't think I'll let him do again. He doesn't separate lights and darks, and doesn't fold right away, so everything gets super wrinkled we'll see. Definitely sit down with him and talk and tell him you need help. You need him to run the house.

All my TTC ladies, I'm still with you! CD13 ish, no temping, taking it easy. Not getting on the forum and not paying attention to symptoms/signs makes it much much easier to put TTC out of mind, thank god. It was killing my productivity. I hope we get more BFPs this month. Belle, you O'd early, but I don't think you should be concerned at all. It's the shorter LP that's the bad thing.

Going to disappear again for another week. Hopefully more BFPs in that time!

 

[BelleNuit]

Green good to hear from you again! You should be due to O any day now! Good luck!!

 

[BabyC4Me]

Hey green!!!! Glad yu are going okay other there. We missed ya !

That floor plan looks good even tho I have no idea what I'm looking at. All I know is that you will have tons of space and a lovely new home to share with family and friends! Congrats girl !

Belle ! Wishing you luck homie ! This may be your month

AFM- had my first doc appt to review blood work and he said everything looks amazing ! All my levels came back great and that I'm healthy from that he could see

I'm 5w1d. Blood work was taken at 4w1d @ 883 hcg level. So he said that I am about 5-6 weeks along. Obgyn appt scheduled for 7/28 for my first scan ! I just wanna see my baby !!!!

Have a great Thursday gals !

 

[BelleNuit]

BabyC thats great news!! I hope your scan goes well!

I'm 7 dpo now so half way through the TWW. It feels like this cycle just started, and now there is only a week left, jeepers!

PMS symptoms are escalating. I started crying last night for no reason, like WTH. This could be a rough week! Thank goodness I have you ladies!

Z your house plans look absolutely amazing!!! It will be so beautiful!!

 

[OhHappyZ]

Thanks guys!! Golden, the room is giant, there will be plenty of room to keep baby in with us for the first year or so. As for the island, I love that it looks out to the great room, but still has side access to the dining room. I bumped it away from the counter a couple of inches to give more room but that's about it. And the ceilings in the great room are 14 feet tall!!! I'm so excited! At the end of July we do our design appointments to pick floors, counters, cabinets, etc. Then they pour the foundation!!

 

[BelleNuit]

Very exciting Z!

Puma, haven't heard from you in awhile! How are things going!?

The great dpo countdown is on for me, 8 dpo today! The end is in sight. Hopefully all of our hard work will be rewarded this month

 

[GoldenRatio]

Belle u are almost there! i would have started to test by now hehe when will u be testing?

My scan went well yesterday, baby is good measuring correctly with a strong hb. We are so happy I hope it stays healthy with mommy

Scan put me back 3 days so im back to 8weeks again, tech said measurement and due date can change later on.

Happy Friday ladies!

Welcome back Green!
My son's room is not immediately next to ours. He spent his early months in our room and used a baby monitor after that. Trust me so how mom's have super hearing because I can hear him cough, sneeze roll over etc. So your plan for home looks good.

I'm hoping to see some of you get your bfp this month. Then you can feel as sick as me. Lol.

My almost 2 year old son is driving me crazy. I'm a bundle of nerves waiting for my first appointment. Changed my insurance and my place doesn't accept new insurance so I have to go to a new place. And they don't want to see me until 10 weeks even though I have a history of miscarriage. So I'm a bundle of nerves.

My son is so active and into everything. I'm feeling so guilty about not stimulating his brain.


Happy Friday! Still praying for you ladies to get your bfp and for the preggers to stay pregnant.

 

[BelleNuit]

The wait for 10 weeks would be pretty nerve wracking Bella! How far along are you now? I will keep my fingers crossed that it all goes smoothly for you

I'm 8 dpo so should be finding out shortly if its a BFP or a BFN. I'm feeling surprisingly neutral this month. I expect AF will show because thats what always happens. But maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised
