TTC and Beyond!

[Disneybaby26]

Muh-Kay-lah. We will probably call her Kay or Kayla most of the time though. I
Love that this little person has an identity now, lots of baby bonding today! I'm so excited for all you ladies to find out too!

We plan on bird themed nursery. Because I have to be totally dorky like that.

Onviousllyyyyyy this was a given!! Hehe!

 

[wavescrash]

I love Marley Jane

I also love Makayla Lynn (my middle name is Lynn ) Now are you pronouncing it as Muh-kay-luh or like Mih-kay-luh, or is it like kyla in the middle? Just wondering.

No idea how I overlooked Jane as an option because Jane is my middle name lol. That's a good choice too

We plan on bird themed nursery. Because I have to be totally dorky like that.

I have an idea for a bird-themed, felt mobile-type thingy I want to make when I learn how to be more crafty. If I ever actually learn how to sew and make one and you'd like to have it, I would totally make you one lol.

Eeeep- I'd love that!!!

Amanda, Idk if you saw my post and I know you're making headbands yourself but if you'd like me to send you some for Leah, send me your addy.

Same to you Kara!!!

Morgan and Nikki- I haven't forgot about you ladies but HAVE been a total slacker and haven't sent your baby girls headbands off. I will soon though, I promise. Been a lil preoccupied lol

Eeeep- I'd love that!!!

Amanda, Idk if you saw my post and I know you're making headbands yourself but if you'd like me to send you some for Leah, send me your addy.

You got it dude! I just gotta teach myself to sew felt and then we'll be golden lol. I'm sure by the time you know gender and if there's a certain color scheme you want to use, I'll have it figured out. I hope! I want to do something for Leah so we'll see.

I'll send you my address, thanks! Yeah I can make my own but I'm critical of my work and it's still nice to have other people's work to show off Thanks for offering. I'll message it to you on FB.

Yesss Cassidy, that's awesome!!

Not sure about you gals but my Hubbs asks me all the time "how big the baby is"...and then I saw a piece of fruit and he's not satisfied with that comparison...SO, I found this tonight https://www.hisboyscanswim.com/605/...aby-sizes-week-by-week-for-soon-to-be-fathers ...he likes this way better!!

"Oooh other than the fact that you'll be BIG & BEAUTIFUL all summer!!! You can go swimming and show it off" - cant fucking wait for this. not gonna lie. i'm already thinking about walking thru our local farmers market, all hippie hair and bulgy belly. cant wait to wear a bikini and get my picture taken my TMZ magazine.
"But so exciting, any other plans for you?" maternity photo shoot - already thinking of which of my 3920483 photographer friends i trust with my nakedness. also already thinkin gof the announcement - something like "went to Hawaii as 2, came back as 3" (because no one really needs to know that i ovulated the day AFTER i got back, right? it could be a spermy from friday or saturday that we were still on the island.)
terrified of twins. i mean, would be over the moon but also shitting my pants.

I have always hated being overweight and worrying about what I wear. I freaking love being pregnant bc I don't care what I wear, I'm pregnant bitches! lol Loving my belly.
I like that for an announcement! Twins are scary, can't blame you...lol I'm excited for ours, but I have moments of "Holy shit I will never sleep again!" "How can we do this?" "I'm too lazy for one kid, I'm going to suck at two!" but it is what it is lol

Britt-Love the announcement idea!
I also hate throwing up. I'm convinced I've probably not let myself throw up. Hopefully the gag reflex doesn't kick in for you like it has for me...that's what finally let to a throw up. It was nothing but water though bc it was first thing in the morning.

Nikki-That's what I'm hoping for too! I'm going to look at either transferring within district or completely moving out of the district and getting a job at the school district by our house. Not sure how that will pan out with either being super pregnant or having fresh babies during interview times...I do NOT want to come back to this school though. I'm the same way though, too scary to call it quits with out another job in place already.

Ashlee-Trust me, you will hear stories about all stages of pregnancy. At our multiples class the other night our teacher had 2 losses, one at 16 weeks (where I'm at...) and one at 24 weeks. Scares the crap out of me. She does have 2 children now which helps, but it's still scary. I've accepted it happens all the time to different people, I just have to stay positive and hope everything goes ok for my babies...
I like the announcement!

Morgan-That is so true! You always have to yell it to make sure you like it! I love the name Willow, but I think Marley Grace or Marley Jane just flow nicely...

Kara-That website is hilarious! Lynne is one of our girl middle names too, after DW's aunt to who passed due to cancer complications back in May.

I forgot to tell you girls...For those of you who are breastfeeding or pumping, you should go to Simple Wishes and use code handsfreeholiday for a free hands free pumping bra. Make sure you choose the $29.99 version and you'll just pay $7.45 shipping. I ordered mine Sat or Sun and got it in the mail today!

A little info i've found doing some research tonight. Cannot wait for that first scan, seeing the little heart beating is going to be such a huge relief.

"Research has shown that if you see a heartbeat at 6 weeks of pregnancy, the chances of the pregnancy continuing are 78%.

A heartbeat at 8 weeks increases the chance of a continuing pregnancy to 98% and at 10 weeks that goes up to 99.4%."

 

[HWPG]

No progression. Great

 

[brunettebimbo]

Mirolee I didn't either. Waited a few days and it was slightly darker. You may be carrying a boy.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Thanks ladies... I like "the greatest gift" idea so I will probably use that!

 

[goldstns]

Mirolee- Im crossing my fingers for you. However, did you take them one day after another? you should wait 48 hours before testing again. Maybe your pee was more dilute.

Julie- hoping for the best for you and your job.

 

[clynn11]

Mirolee you got a pos. Digi soooo early thats a great sign!!!

 

[RobertRedford]

I have always hated being overweight and worrying about what I wear. I freaking love being pregnant bc I don't care what I wear, I'm pregnant bitches! lol Loving my belly.

"im pregnant, bitches" LOL! You need a shirt that says that!

Ash, I don't think the fear of losing a pregnancy ever goes away. The stories you hear surely don't help, either. The announcement idea is super cute!

Kara, LOVE the name! A friend of ours just had a baby girl named Mikayla and i really like it. I like it spelled Michaela, too.

Mirolee, still so early, your progression will show better every 2-3 days. Since you got a preg on a digi, I wouldn't worry too much

So I was supposed to have my monthly OB visit this morning but I had 2 different appt times written down in 2 different places and I went with the wrong one. Showed up 40 minutes late and they made me reschedule. I understand the policy but it just annoys me because my very first appt there, I showed up ON TIME and was told I had to reschedule because my OB was stuck in surgery all day and they couldn't have been bothered to call me that morning BEFORE my appt so that I didn't waste my whole lunch break driving there for nothing. And then on top of that, I show up on time for appointments every month and don't get called back for at least 20-30 minutes anyway so having to reschedule this appt because they're "running behind" (receptionist said) is a total joke because I'd have only just been called back had I been on time for my appt anyway.

The receptionist mentioned an opening Wednesday but I said I'd call when I got home and checked my work schedule. I called and spoke to a different receptionist when I got home and she said there were no openings on Wednesday (so it apparently was booked in the 5 minutes it took me to drive home...) and my OB was out Monday, Thursday & Friday. I work all day Tuesday which is apparently the only time they had openings.

So she managed to fit me in with the office Midwife next Wednesday but I'm not sure she can do anything I was hoping to have done at this appointment given that she's not my actual OB. I wanted a refill on my pain meds for SPD, measure my fundal height, give me the order forms for my glucose test & the 28-week follow-up scan I'm supposed to have for my placental lakes. I don't know if she can even take care of all that or if she's only going to be able to take my BP & listen to the heartbeat, you know?

Ugh I'm just so annoyed. I know it was mostly my fault I was late for looking at the wrong time but this office just annoys me in general and my hormones are getting the better of me today. I was just really looking forward to this appointment and now I have to wait nearly another week.
