TTC and Beyond!

[Disneybaby26]

...I might also add that my amazing growing bump and tig ol' bitties make me feel quite bangin'!

 

[wavescrash]

Oooooh I'm staying out of this one!!!

I stopped posting over there bc of the exact same reasons as you girls. Kudos on your thoughts and opinions. It's not the same welcoming or reciprocated support SOOO yea, I'm good!

Yep... same here. I don't think I subscribed to this month or last month's TTC thread to be honest.

Lol! I'm gonna have to agree with you Kara! My DH seems to think my preggo body is pretty damn bangin' and we have even better sex than we did before! P.s. I love that picture

I'm bored as can be at work today, so I've been reading the news all day. The news headlines today are just too freakin much. Some examples from today:

-"Police find treasure trove in teen’s bum"

-"Naked Aussie Freed From washer with olive oil"

-Texas firefighter uses beer to put out tire blaze"

-"Man crashes into Conn. gas station, steals banana"

lol! I can't wait for preggo sex. I remember it being uncomfortable last time cause i kept getting UTI's, hopefully it won't happen this time around.

Amanda I hope you get a hawaii baby too!! and a Florida baby for you Sandy! Just popped over to reiterate my support to you ladies...I hope you'll stick around for all my ttc, preggo questions come summertime

Cassidy, I don't remember if i said it on the other thread but I'm so excited for you to announce. I literally have different peoples dates written down on my work computer so i know what kind of news to look for each day lol

 

[asmcsm]

Awww bummer about the UTI's! I've been worried about getting one, but so far I've been extremely lucky. Hopefully next time you won't have that problem and will get to enjoy it!

I may accidentally put some (non-essential) things on there, tee hee. Gonna text my mom, see if she wants to go with me. I'll probably celebrate the occasion with either a mint Oreo blizzard or decaf vanilla latte. Yummmm.

 

[Cowgirl07]

to be honest, I'm not pregnant and I'm having a hard time going back to that thread. I'm TTC and I feel that there is little support for ME there.

I'm sorry, I try to support everyone. I do pop in on this thread too. Sometimes I ignore it but it's on for a day or two a month, af days mostly. I enjoy reading the updates and feel kinda bad now.

Thanks Brittney You are super sweet! I can't wait to see you get your BFP!!!

 

[frsttimemama]

Me too Katrina. I feel guilty, like I have done something wrong.

 

[clynn11]

Honestly that whole conversation was truly about the negative things Amelia has been saying. I understand she's hurting, but a lot of the things she says have been out of line and really hurtful towards those of us that are pregnant.

I've never felt any negativity from either one of you, Katrina and Sandy.

One of my friends is pregnant with her first baby. She'll be 34 weeks tomorrow and has been in the hospital all week, diagnosed with preeclampsia. She was set to go home tomorrow on strict bed rest until 37 weeks but just found out she's progressed to severe preeclampsia and will instead be induced tonight. Keep her and her son in your thoughts please.

She had a scan yesterday (or earlier today) and he's estimated to weigh over 5 lbs already and they say his brain seems more developed than a 34-weeker so hopefully that's all good news for a short NICU stay.

 

[RobertRedford]

Oh, Katrina and Sandy, none of that was directed at you two!! Much love and hugs to you both, I appreciate all of your support.

 

[clynn11]

Sending your friend lots of love and positive vibes waves!!! My cousin had to deliver her baby at 32 weeks (I think.. it might've been 30) due to severe preeclampsia. Her babe was at the NICU for a month before she got to come home and is a happy and healthy little thing!

 

[HWPG]

No guilt! Let it go! It's all good - I already just feel relieved that it was hanging over people's heads and now it can breathe. No guilt.
Oh my god - the sex has been amazing. It's actually been too good - OH has been having to slow down quite a bit so it's not over too quickly I wish we had sex more frequently, honestly. I feel bad for you ladies that are feeling poorly, but it sounds like the bedroom is still doing ok (ashlee). I would say OH has only acknowledged that I sort of have a bloat/bump going - much more noticeable to me than anyone else - but I'm hoping the further I get along, the sexier he finds me. That's my hope! I also asked him if he would look at my stitches after birth to see if they are healing. He (slowly) agreed. Ha! Hahaha! Omg, I can't imagine. And since I'll be all round during the spring and summer, and rocking the skirts and dresses like what what, he might need to shave my legs also. I should give him a heads up.

Thanks dear

OH's cousin had to deliver her son at 34 (or so) weeks due to preeclampsia as well. He had a short NICU stay - I forget how long though - and he's doing great. He's about 2 months younger than Hannah. A little delayed with walking/talking compared to her but even a full-term baby could be behind with those things too.


As far as sex goes - non-existent. I have literally no desire. None whatsoever. Oh well.

I hope your friend and the baby are okay and glad that he is showing to be more developed!

Good luck to them. I can't figure out how to reply to multiple threads on my kindle. But I love you pregnant ladies. I am extremely excited for you. I bought fabric for blankets and will get to them soon.

Sarah-I love those things! lol I have no idea how well they actually work for babies, but they are pretty cool. I highly recommend everyone go to babies r us where they have them on display and just play with them

Kara-I totally agree with you...I'm huge, I have stretch marks, but it's weird...I feel sexier than normal! My boobs aren't even big yet and I still feel pretty banging lol PS That picture is f-ing adorable!

To all the ttc girls, I totally agree with what Cassidy said. I love you girls and I love the support and am always happy to offer support. Posting on the ttc thread I do usually feel kind of overlooked, but I get it...I'm not on a lot so people don't know me as well and just like I don't have the energy to focus on reading all the ttc stuff, I know ttcers don't always have time to focus on preggo stuff either. Please don't feel like you did anything wrong at all! It was one person and their negative comments. Quite honestly, I hear a lot of negativity come out of her mouth. She's hilarious, but also depressing and sometimes over the line like today.

Waves-We were told that babies born before 35 weeks are guaranteed NICU time even if it's just for a little bit (could be hospital by hospital though), that's why we are really hoping to keep these two in past that. That's a bummer she has to deliver early, but it sounds like baby is doing well so I'm sure baby will be just fine! I know it's still got to be scary though. I know I'm scared of having to deliver early...

As far as sex, yeah I'm with Waves on that one. I have had 0 desire. I've had maybe 3 orgasms (dream induced) and each time I woke up to my uterus hurting. So, I think I'll stay away from those lol
