[Storked]

U guys cheered me up with your gross cakes. I am having a rough spot. I told oh we are breaking up. I should have been seven months. Stuffs hard right now. I am alone at home. I gotta force myself to go to sleep. Called in to work tomorrow. Kind of a bad move. I'm being a mess. Thx for the laffs. Next stop road kill cake and compost carrot cake.

I can look for more gross recipes in my cookbooks if it would cheer you up more Horsey! I am so sorry that things are so hard right now. Are you having regrets or did you mean it when you told him that it was over? Either way know that we all freaking love you are are here to support you
Glad you called in to work because you are stressed and need a day to unwind for sure!

I was actually looking for a peanut butter swirl brownie recipe when I came across this "gem" how could I not share with you guys?

Laura, did The Tudors count as an Irish show? Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Yummy!

Hubba Hubba! Glad you opted to pick the safer neighborhood! As for your recipe, ewww. Not sure the new neighbors would appreciate the humor---Martha Stewart doppelgänger! Haha. (BTW, I think we are really close in our cycles!)

Laura i dont think im no longer thin! Check out my bump pictures on my website for week 4-6 let me know if its just my imagination.

What a cute bump!

Hi Jessica, Amy, Natasha, Laura :wave: Hope you ladies are well!


AFM...I'm pretty sure AF is en route! I can't explain it, but I think I have premenstral spotting. I'm not worried about it because Wednesday they'll check hormones too, so hopefully RE can confirm that's what I am having. In the meantime we were told no BDing for 3 days up to the "deposit." Funny how DH is suddenly in the mood. You tell him he can't BD and he wants to, you tell him we need to BD and he puts up a mild fuss!

Dear AF
I know I have been sending you mixed signals lately. While I would prefer you stay away, I believe we can come to a compromise. Please note I am NOT asking you to come, but if you have to, kindly do so in a timely fashion. I consider this a reasonable request after all we have been through.
Angel

Angel, if I was offered that "cake" I would probably be less than appreciative as well LOL! I think that we are close in our cycles. Maybe your spottig was implantation bleeding? I don't think it is too late for that
Dying over your letter to the witch! Not an unreasonable request at all. But can she be reasoned with? I think she is headed my way as well

 

[Storked]

And men are contrary like that: tell them no and they want it but if you offer it to them it doesn't happen. Bit unfair really

 

[xoxo4angel]

I can't seem to win with BDing...I'm relieved to now have Dr's orders on my side!

Not sure if it was IB...I woke today with this insane cramping too. It has since faded. I reviewed my journal and this cycle is leaning in the AF direction. How about you Bethany? AF is actually due on the 14th.

 

[Storked]

And good thing he trusts the doctor!
I am due for AF the 15th. You keep a journal? So organized! Go you! But you never know, those pesky PMS symptoms are so similar to early pregnancy. What symptoms did you have with your angels?
And you know, it is so soon- neither of us may have had any implantation yet. Those pesky babies could wait until the last minute

The most painful part of my D&C was the IV in my hand (I still think they did something wrong with that because my hand felt like it was broke for a week after). The doctor said to wait 2 weeks to start trying again...I waited 6 days and thats only because of blood. My cervix was still a little sore so we just took it easy. I am staying "active" but not rushing anything. I did not plan my other 2 children, I just stayed "active" and God did his part. I do not want to stress myself out with pregnancy tests until my body gives me a sign that something is going on in there.

If its meant to happen (and I hope it is) it will. Stay positive and stress free everyone..."A watched pot doesn't boil"

Welcome Mommy! So sorry for your loss and that IV does sound bad- it shouldn't feel like that at all!
Is this your first cycle after the D&C?

Thank you. Sorry you've been through a loss. I am knocking on 37's door, so while I trust that God has a plan for me, I am thankful for the RE he has put in my life!

It's just a symptom journal, nothing fancy. I like to use it as a reference. My angels made me sleepy, so I was napping by 7dpo and had tender bbs at arm pit.

 

[Storked]

Still sounds great Angel. Hope the sleepies as sore boobs hit you soon

[lilesMom]

where r all my lovely ladies, its very quiet on here xxxxxx

 

[xoxo4angel]

Hi Laura! I want the sleepies, such good rest! I know eventually I'll have them! Your scan is in a week, right?

Did I mention I survived another baby shower? This was the one that should've been mine! I'm trying to be really good about it in case karma is watching..."see, I can play nice.". Thankfully I had a distraction = out of towners

 

[xoxo4angel]

And Laura I meant to comment about the car seat. If you don't have a backseat where you can properly install an infant seat, you can put the child rear-facing in the front with the airbag turned off. You might consider a different car once you have to turn the seat to forward-facing. In the US it's AMAZING any of us are alive...my sister used to ride on the center console up front with my parents! Heck, my dad used to let me sit on his lap and pretend to drive!

PS its raining, cold and our company has left, so DH and I are cuddled in bed watching movies! Watching Dark Shadows now.

 

[lilesMom]

thanks angel xxx
thats same conclusion i came to as well, it be awhile to frward facing and i can change car by then xx
oh nice way to spend day, all snuggled up xxx
did u have fun with ur friends ?
we were the same i have 11 older bro and sis so we used to sit 3 to a lap sometimes . lol
yup scan tomor week, eek cant wait , im hoping to see lovely heartbeat xx
