TTC and Beyond!

[asmcsm]

I took 2 Tylenol around 3am and they didn't touch it and I'm not a big coffee drinker but I might have some caffeinated tea so might try that

 

[Disneybaby26]

Oh boo my headaches were so bad the doc wrote me a script for a Tylenol/caffeine combo pill, I wish I could teleport one to you!! Feel better!

 

[morganwhite7]

I agree Ash.. For me some food, a Tylenol or two (one to begin w/) and a Coke make mine go away, I get migraines at work all the time. The caffeine in Coke helps, only like 34mg I think and you're allowed much more than that I think so I don't think it could hurt. Hope you feel better soon.. And aww a Santa shoot sounds fun

So my mom made me realize the BEST push gift.... a massage after the birth! She wants to get me a massage for my bday (Dec 17th), but since DH just bought me one, I asked if we could get massages AFTER the birth. She agreed that would be great because she will need one too (she's going to visit my brother in a few weeks and dealing with my Dad's side of the family). SO I realized that is also a great push gift, because Im sure ill need it!

Ashlee-People who make those comments piss me off too...just bc they know someone who couldn't do it or bc they didn't do it, they assume no one can. So frustrating. I'm learning just to brush those comments off...

My doc told me the other day (I've had 4 headaches in the last 2 weeks, first once since getting pregnant), take 2 extra strength tylenol. If that doesn't work, drink a caffeinated beverage. If it still doesn't go away, call them.

Nikki-That sounds like a great push present! Just don't schedule it too soon...you're not going to want to leave that baby lol I have some gift cards somewhere, as soon as I find them I'm scheduling one...

Snow day for me today! I really didn't think we'd be off school, but there is ice and we don't mess with ice around here lol I only had to work one day this week between calling out sick and now a snow day...love it! I cannot wait for the holiday break.

To the ladies who have either been pregnant before or who have a large belly going...are you having any issues with underwear? The top of my underwear roll down in the front bc my belly pushes out on them. I'm carrying these babies so low. I'm tempted to buy those over the belly panties lol I also have a hard time wearing any of my old pants that don't have a super loose waistband. I've worn my old sweatpants the last few days, and I have to roll the waistband slightly below where my underwear are or they feel too tight. Seriously, I think my belly starts at my vagina!

Julie ive already started having underwear issues...the elastic on the panties r very very uncomfortable and ive also realised tht any pressure in tht area increases my nausea..id say granny panties r the best way to go

Ugh I'm stressing out so bad. DH jut went back to work after his leave for having his cyst removed. They didn't let him go back the Tuesday before thanksgiving like he was supposed to so he only got one day that week then they were supposed to get paid days off Thursday and Friday. Well his paycheck was $74. We're now $350 short for rent which was he yesterday... His disability STILL hasn't come through and he applied for it at the beginning of November. I hate money so much

 

[Cowgirl07]

Sorry Ashlee! I hate money fx his disability comes through.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Julie, cotton granny pants are the way forward!

 

[pdxmom]

UUgghh Ash...im sorry finances r being a pain right now..

 

[pdxmom]

Sonia-boo! And...bump pic??? Everyone's doing it...lol

Ashlee-I'm sorry, I know how stressful money can be...I just remind myself it always works out somehow. Hang in there!

I think I already wear granny panties...I guess they are bikinis technically, but still. I may need ones that go up to my boobs lol

 

[pdxmom]

HOnestly given a choice i would just wear those mesh ones they give u at the hospital...they gave me those after my surgery last yr and it almost felt like i wasnt wearing anything at all...no pressure on belly at all

 

[RobertRedford]

Huge hugs Ashlee, money is sooo stressful. I'm always confident that things will work out in the right direction. Hugs and good thoughts headed your way. Xoxoxo

 

[clynn11]

Ash I hate money problems Disability should kick in soon it took about 2 weeks for Kevin's to process.

Had a first little bout of MS this morning. Gave me a little more reassurance

 

[VivianJean]

I'm back from the US.

Bad: some weird shadow that would norm indicate bleeding.

BUT I'm not bleeding or even spotting AND the doc had a good old poke and I'm not really tender either so she was like "meh".

Good: There was a little black spot in my uterus - too small to see if anything is in there but its in the *right* place for it to be intrauterine rather than ectopic

It's on the small side and that + low numbers has her dating me at right on 5 weeks today rather than 5+4.

I told her about my lack of sore boobs and so she said come in for bloods again on Monday and if the bloods are good we'll be set for our 6 week scan next Friday.

So... now it's not just "stick baby stick" it's "grow baby grow" so that we have good numbers and we can see it next time. She said it should be about three times the size that we saw today.

 

[clynn11]

I think things sound great Amelia!!!!

Sonia- I agree, would love to see a bump pic!!

What about the rest of you ladies? I haven't seen bump pics from some of you in a while.

6 weeks today!! 2 weeks until my scan!!

 

[jury3]

Sonia- I like how you just keep ignoring my bump pic request...lol I mean, 14 weeks...you are gonna have to give us one soon!

Amelia-Hang in there, it's still early. I know it's hard and seems like forever, but the next week or so should tell you more. For now, you are definitely pregnant!
