TTC and Beyond!

Holy moly Nikki.. 97%!!! I can't wait to see her precious face! You've got to keep us updated on any labor signs etc!

My insurance doesn't come up on the Medela website either, I'll have to call and see what they cover!

Julie- I can't believe your shower is in a week, so exciting! And to be done working.. Ik it's stressful but will be such a relief for you physically.. And for those babies, too!

Waves- I used your recipe last night and we all loved it!!! Best chicken and dumplings ever, DH said better than Cracker Barrel so I was flattered

Here's my 9 hours til V-Day bump!!! Bought this dress at TJMaxx this morning when I went to return some things.. I just hope it fits by my shower or I'll just have to buy another Also found a darlinggg DKNY sweatsuit for Marley, and at $4.50, I just couldn't say no!

Julie - my bp is still on the low end of normal so I'm not worried about preeclampsia. They said the other day was likely due to my blood sugar crashing :/ my glucose results came back marked "low" at 112 but everyone I talked to said that's totally normal and nothing to worry about either. No idea about the headaches though because I've started taking a prenatal again, started taking iron and incorporating healthier food into my diet and I have no energy and a headache every day. Ugh.

Morgan- that dress is beyond adorable!! Brand?? I've been looking for something for my shower and I'm like if the models look like whales, I'm really in trouble!! Lol yay for Vday!!

Waves- it could be a "withdrawal" from crap if you've been eying better (less carbs/sugar/caffeine etc). Hang in there and drink lots of water!

Oh yay. Glad you guys liked em My sister always asks me to make it. Said it doesn't turn out right when she tries lol. I love that recipe. It's so simple and at least for me, the chicken is so tender.

I gotta find something to wear for my maternity shoot next month, speaking of clothes

I've not really eliminated the crappy stuff, just added healthier things into it, so who knows. I've cut down on soda but not eliminated it but I guess I can drink more to see if that helps lol.

Morgan- too cute!!! I took my last photo...now I just need to post it via the computer, not phone.

waves- 112 is completely normal. You want your sugars between 70-130.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Morgan. That is adorable I love it and wish I could wear something like that.

 

[clynn11]

Morgan you look BEAUTIFUL!!! Love your bump

Nikki- Holy shit I can't believe you're in single digits hun!! AHHHHH wasn't it just yesterday we were all in the TTC forum bitching about how it would never happen for us?! So amazing how far we've all come in such little time. Love it!

 

[goldstns]

I should put a work count down too... I think my last day will be Wed.

Morgan that dress is adorbs! I look awful in high-low dresses

 

[goldstns]

Water may have just broke. No contractions...headed to l&d

 

[clynn11]

Omg nikki!!!!!!!!!! Eeeek keep us updated if you can!!!!! Soooo freaking exciting!!!!

 

[asmcsm]

Woohoo Nikki! Keep us updated lady!

 

[wavescrash]

Oh goodness Nikki. Good luck! I had a slow leak with Hannah that got me admitted and started on Pitocin but when I went to L&D the nurse insisted it wasn't my waters but increased discharge as that's normal during the end of pregnancy.

Either way, if you're ready... I hope this is it for you

 

[goldstns]

Its true. Admitted... We will b meeting Alia soon!!!

 

[wavescrash]

Awwww how exciting! Congrats mama! Wishing you an easy labor and delivery. Try to keep us updated please! Can't wait to see pictures and read all about it!

PS - When it comes time to push, push like you're pooping lol. I wish I'd known that for my first delivery. Made the second one so much easier doing it that way.

 

[goldstns]

No pain. Dh went to car to get our bags. 4cm, 70% thinned, -1 position

 

[wavescrash]

Waters broken and already 4cm is a good sign. Hope that means it won't be too long of a labor for you!!

 

[clynn11]

Omg thats awesome no pain at 4cm!! My friend was over the top and got the epidural asap cuz she was in so much painn. So flippin exciting I cant wait to see her beautiful face. Wishing you a fast and easy delivery!!
