TTC and Beyond!

I passed the embryonic sac and my cervix is open. I'm no longer pregnant. Can someone please change me on the front page. I don't want to see it any more.
 
Morgan is the only one who can change it hun, i'm sure she will when she gets online. Sending sooooooo much love your way <3 <3 <3
 
Hi girls!

Congrats Cassidy on the perfect scan!

Julie- I am so sorry about your boss. It makes working so much harder when you have a sucky one. Hopefully you can find a new job after your mat leave! I had my cervix measured at my first scan and I think they check it at all the others, but I have never been told there is an issue so I will just assume all is well! I can not imagine how much movement you must feel with two in there. My belly is having a dance party so yours must be full on rave..haha!

Rachel- Love the letters and I also like the polka dot contrast so would leave them as is. I also love her sweet name!

Amanda- So sorry your doctor was a jerk. I would definitley complain and never see that one again. The doctor at my last apt was just like that and I was asking her questions as she ran out the door. Then saw her in the hallway as we were leaving and she didn’t even acknowledge us. I will never see her again and pray she is not my delivey doctor. Have fun with your two girls and sorry about the flat. That is the worst! Love all your bump pics!

Nikki- Hope your spa day helped you to feel better!

Morgan- Can you send me some of the goodies? I have literally craved nothing this pregnancy and most of the time I can not even think of what I want to eat. Now how the heck have I already gained 21 pounds with that attitude towards food!

Cassidy- I definitley see a little bump growing on you.. how exciting!

Amelia- I am so sorry for your loss. It really just sucks and I will be praying for your peace during this hard time.

OMG Rachel, I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face from laughing and joy from that video. So cute and absolutely true!!

I hope you all are getting to relax some before the big holiday next week!! We are making salt dough ornaments today and some last minute shopping.

I just need to vent for a minute so forgive me:

Working in retail during the holidays flat out sucks. Working retail during the holidays while 7 months pregnant (40 hour weeks/8 hour shifts) also sucks. Working retail during the holidays while 7 months pregnant after having a huge credit card security breech hit your company sucks even more. So there's that.

Hannah spent two nights at my mom's house because Tyler & I both worked early morning shifts that overlapped & we didn't want to drag Hannah out of bed at 3:30am so I could take him to work to use the car when I needed to go into work. We picked her up last night and Autumn came with so that she could spend 2 nights here, I'll take her home Monday. On the way home, it's pouring rain and we hit this huge pothole that Tyler didn't see until the last minute. Immediate flat tire. Nobody sells you just one tire and we certainly can't afford 4 brand new ones. Nor can we continue to drive on a donut in the winter. Hopefully my mom's neighbor (a mechanic) can get us just 1 tire and change it for us or something.

While Tyler's struggling to get the lug nuts off the flat (they were really stuck on there for some reason) in the pouring rain, I turn back and see Hannah has an explosive diarrhea diaper that leaked through her clothes. We're not anywhere that I can take her inside to change her diaper/clothes and the car was full of us and suitcases and with it pouring rain outside, I just had to let her sit until we got home. Once she did, she threw the biggest tantrum when we tried to change her.

Then this morning after breakfast, Tyler realizes the couch that Autumn slept on reeks of human pee. Autumn is still in a pull-up because my mother is too freaking lazy to try and get her out of them (yes, she's 8 years old and still has accidents... they say she'll outgrow it but I think my mother could help things along.) Autumn wore a pull-up to bed so I'm not sure why it would smell. So I text my mom asking if Autumn's ever peed through a pull-up and she said sometimes, if it's a defective one or something like that but that she thinks it was probably our cat. She has been insisting our cat is peeing everywhere since we moved into their house even though it smells like straight up HUMAN pee and there's an 8 year old in the house that pees the bed still. She swears Cat's pee smells like human pee and not a cat's. Google tells me that's not possible. And to add to that, we've NEVER had an issue with our cat peeing or spraying outside of her litter box. She pooped on the floor ONCE when we first took in my friend's cat because we kept her (our cat) in our bedroom that night and totally forgot to bring in her litter box but that's the only accident in over a year of owning her. But my mom is so insistent that my cat is peeing everywhere and refusing to admit that she/Autumn have a problem they need to take care of. Not only that, we've only been out of the house a week and if you ask Autumn when she last had a bath she says, "I don't know."

I literally feel nauseous from the stress right now. I just can't wait for Christmas and Christmas break to be over with. For January to get here so my hours get reduced at work and Tyler starts working the job paying him $13/hour.
 
I'm sorry your weekend is going so junky Amanda. I hope things go better in time for Christmas.
 
15 weeks today! So crazy to think that in just 5 weeks I'll already be half way! So anxious to know what this little one is.

Happy swing day Rachel, Kara, Morgan and Britt!
 
Woah Ash... had me confused for a second with the 25 weeks + being halfway soon lol.
 
Oh Amelia.. I have no words. I am so so so sorry. Sending virtual hugs.

Amanda- sorry you are so stressed out.. this time of year certainly brings it out.

As for me, I swear my MS is coming back. Gag reflex has been awful, and i've been feeling miserable again. 14 weeks today. I seriously can't take this. It has been gone for nearly two weeks.

I thought mine had gone too, but from 13.5 weeks to now I've been puking very other day and I still feel nauseous even after taking zofran. It seriously blows. Hoping the end is near
 
I sure hope so Ashlee. I had to take a Zofran on friday for the first time in weeks. I only have about 4 left, and then I have Phenergran which i'm afraid to take since it's a class C drug.
 
Amelia-I'm so sorry... I know there's nothing to say to make you feel better, but I'm thinking of you :hugs:

Britt-Sorry you're sick again. I sick until around 17 weeks, I still get nauseous at least once a day though. Nothing as miserable as it was though...

Ashlee-Sorry you're still sick too...but yay for being so close to the halfway point! I think we spend so much time worrying and waiting for the 2nd tri, that once it's here the time goes by really quickly. I can't believe I'm 21 weeks tomorrow! We now have less than 100 days until the average twin birth...crazy!

DW finally felt some kicks last night. Grayson was kicking like crazy. This morning Olivia was kicking like crazy and I kind of caught it on tape. It's hard to tell though lol I can't wait, soon it's going to look like aliens in there lol
We went shopping yesterday and bought our first official clothes for the babies :) Before that it was just a few things from Goodwill but we didn't even know what genders were yet. I think we are going to use the elephant outfits as coming home outfits. We bought preemie and newborn just in case. Can you guys please just look at how f-ing tiny preemie outfits are! They are made for like 2-5 lbs, crazy small. Anyway, the other outfits were just cute...Carter's was having a big sale and we had a coupon on top of that.

Yay for DW feeling the babies! Those outfits are super cute! Can't wait to see the little ones in them!
 
Soooo cute Julie!!! And yaaaay for her feeling some kicks finally!!!
 
Sarah- Have you found out if you've got a blue or pink bundle or maybe even a name too that I can add to the front page?
 
Julie- outfits r so cute!! Love the elephants. How do u know which baby is kicking?
 
Super cute outfits Julie :)

We did elephants for Hannah's coming home outfit and it turned into an elephant theme for so many things lol. She has tons of stuffed elephants now and OH is always having to stop me from buying more when I find them at Goodwill lol.

Still no idea what Leah's coming home outfit will be. We're not doing a nursery theme because all 3 girls are technically sharing a bedroom right now but we're loosely thinking of a "woodland creature" theme for things like the baby book, bedding, etc. Autumn has always been nicknamed "monkey", Hannah has the elephant thing going on, felt necessary to stick with animals lol.

I'm so "behind" on preparing for this baby though. I have roughly 11 weeks or less to go and only have a handful of clothes washed and hanging in the closet. No coming home outfit. No diapers/wipes purchased. No furniture we intend to use for her. I'm waiting for the baby shower in February and our tax return but that's still just a month before she's due so uh... fingers crossed she holds out until very close to her due date ;)

We got a dresser from my mom that's going to double as a changing table but we need to paint that. We're going to paint it white and the drawers bright yellow. I have to make her name out of wooden letters because we have them for both other girls. I want to get more of their bedroom decorated and make a mobile to hang over Leah's dresser. Lots to do. Also want to finally start learning to knit or crochet and maybe make a blanket but I figure I'll wait til my reduced hours start because with the holidays and working, I feel like I have no time at all.
