TTC and Beyond!

[TTCaWee1]

Sonia!!! Welcome back!! Glad you are feeling better! I'd say that if you start feeling good when the zofran wears off maybe see if you get nauseated? I'd say it will pass but I think Morgan and Julie are still sick and they're both in second tri.

I'm so cranky today. I blew up on DH over the lack of sex in our relationship. Then I started crying asking him if it is because I am fat and pregnant. Oh I'm so hormonal today. Hormones must be surging this week bc my boobs are on fire and I've been crying easily again. Oh and nauseated. Boo. So much for the "honeymoon" phase. On a good note, I went to get my eyebrows done and the girl asked me how far along I was. This made me happy esp bc just before, I almost slaughtered the ulta cashier bc she told me there was no one at the brow bar. I went somewhere else and got a free wax. On another good note, last night, baby was tumbling away. So much that I could feel it through my belly. It was awesome. It's pretty cool feeling it from the inside but even cooler to feel it on the outside. I go back to work tomorrow for 2 days then I fly home for 5 days. I'm going to freeze my ass off. I just dug out my "winter" gear and realized there isn't much there SO shopping I shall go.

Hi Sonia!!! Glad you are feeling better Hun!!

I'm sorry you're having a shit day Rachel! Damn hormones!!

We just went and toured our first daycare. It's actually where I went to daycare 27 years ago! Lol I didn't hate it, but I HATE the fact that we will need full time care and can't stay will the baby or have someone we know who is able to do it... The 1100$ a month it's going to cost us kinda hurts too...ugh.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Kara what about a nanny? Surely you can find one for cheaper than daycare. Look at care.com

 

[Disneybaby26]

Meh, I thought about it but we have a pitbull too lol. Not that our doggie would ever do anything but its a lot of liability having a stranger in the house...

 

[wavescrash]

Sorry ladies for not keeping up - been working and feeling like garbage lately. Sleeping a lot too. Leah must be going through a growth spurt.

I can't recall but was someone looking for my address a few pages back or was that for the other Amanda (Robert)?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Me!!! Amanda might have been too

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks I'll message it to you!

Britt-I did not want to take the meds, but it's so hard being sick at work. I take them during the week if I wake up feeling sick, but try not to take it on the weekends. Luckily I'm getting better so I don't take it as often. I was still sick, even with the meds though lol

Sonia-I take mine in the morning and that's it. Not on the weekends unless I am really sick. I think not taking it on the weekends has helped me figure out if it's starting to go away or not. I would say just don't take it until you really need it, somedays you will probably end up not taking it.

Rachel-I'm sorry you've been hormonal and nauseated...Somehow I've avoided the hormonal part. I'm so jealous you are feeling baby so much! I cannot wait to feel them that much, especially from the outside! I have a few more layers of fat than you though, so it will probably take a bit longer lol

Kara-Holy cow that's a lot! I'm scared to see how much it will be for two! I was a nanny before I got my teaching job and for a little while after. They always told me when there was a pet and only people who were comfortable with pets took those jobs. It never bothered me to nanny with pets. I even had this crazy cat that puked everywhere once lol I wouldn't mind a nanny with our kids, but our dogs are 15 lbs and would do nothing but lick someone to death lol

Feeling better about work, getting caught up finally...only bc I've been staying late every night though. I have a meeting with my horrible boss on Fri, so I'm sure she'll make me feel like shit all over again...oh well.
We have such a busy few weeks coming up, I can't wait!
Fri-Lawyer Apt
Mon-Doc Apt
Tues-Multiple Class
Wed-C-section Class
Thurs-Mtg a doula
Fri my mom will be in town
Sat-gender scan
Mon-dentist
Tues-Multiples class
and then Thanksgiving weekend! YAY!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Holy crap, Julie!! Good for you for having everything all planned out though!! Yay for gender scans next week, omg I can't freakin wait!!!

 

[TTCaWee1]

I want my gender scan next week

 

[Disneybaby26]

Even in home nannies get around 250$ a week around here. Stupid Connecticut. There are a few home daycares that would probably be around 300$ less a month but don't open until 8 so I'd have to switch my work hours from 8-4:30 to 8:30-5 (DH works a non negotiable 7:30-4), which would mean even less time for me with the baby. Plus, with this daycare DH will be able to drop off so I can go in for OT early in the morning (around 6am) which is what I do now and would make it possible for me to leave right at 4:30 but still be bringing in the extra income.

Just one of those things, I'm sure it will be just fine...just a few less vacations for the next couple of years!! Lol

 

[Disneybaby26]

I want my gender scan next week

I want your gender scan next week too, Rachel!!! Lol

 

[wavescrash]

23 weeks today!

 

[goldstns]

scan went well today... I think.. waiting to hear from doc by friday to hear more of what she things.

 

[asmcsm]

Was wondering why I hadn't seen anything from you girls all day, apparently I accidentally hit unsubscribe at some point...OOPS!

Morgan- those parfaits are seriously saving my life. Everything else causes insta-puke. Oranges seem to be the other tolerable one. Was able to eat a burrito for dinner, used lots of lime because the sour makes it easier to eat, normally I hate lime on my burritos lol .

Julie- holy crap girl! You've got a busy schedule ahead of you!! So excited to see what those little babes are

Kara- yikes that is a lot! Hopefully all work out well though.

Rachel- sorry your hormones are going so out of control I'm not looking forwrd to when mine get that way. I already had horrible mood swings from pms so imagine that prego mood swings will be rough on DH lol

Sonia- glad to hear from you! Can't believe you're already almost 12 weeks!! I'm trying to hold off on the zofran just because I've made it almost to 10 weeks without it but if I have another puking episode like the other day I'm calling it quits and giving in lol. So excited for you to post pics from your next scan!

 

[jury3]

Kara-I can't wait to find out what everyone's having!
Yeah, I was a temporary nanny. I made more than $250 a week...not sure what it would have been as a constant though.

Rachel-Lol This is the 4D one that we booked. Otherwise we would have been waiting until Dec 18th! No way I could wait that long!

Ashlee-I think I gave in to the zofran around 11/12 weeks...I kept waiting for it to go away and it wouldn't. I finally couldn't take it anymore.
Also, I hit unsubscribe all the time on accident when I'm on my phone...makes me so mad! lol

Waves-Your belly looks so tight, does it feel tight?...I love how your belly button kind of points upward lol

Nikki-I'll be awaiting your news! I'm sure it will be ok

Someone today was like, you're only 15 weeks?! I thought you were closer to 6 months! lol Oh the joys of a twin belly

 

[Cowgirl07]

Julie your not that big!

 

[morganwhite7]

Amazing how it grows Waves!! Love it!

And Kara- How long is your maternity leave?? & are you going to pump for the sitter?

Speaking of breastfeeding... are you girls going to try? I def know my milk comes in so I plan on it haha.. but wondering how long I'll be able to put up with a baby on my boob every 3 hrs lol. It will be tough. I also recommend that you buy an ELECTRIC DOUBLE pump vs. a hand pump. With having to feed so frequently when they're little by the time you pump (lots of milk and 2 boobs) and feed them, it's time to pump again! Haha that will be #1 on my registry.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

I finally called for Zofran today girls. I hit the 8 week mark and it's been SO MUCH WORSE. I am going to pick it up after work. Hope it's not TOO expensive.

 

[pdxmom]

After insurance i got my zofran for .75 cents

About breastfeeding...thats sth i really wanna do...being a stay at home mom is going to b such an advantage...i love being at home and just enjoying me time and enjoying my home but there have been times wen i miss working ( i used to work before i got married and came to the states ) but im sure with my lo therell b no time anyways ... i wish u girls wud have stayed close by....i wud have defenitely volunteered to babysit for u if ud let me
