TTC and Beyond!

[RobertRedford]

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

so much to respond to, but i'm still just blown away that you're having twins! soo incredible. you are so blessed!

Brittany, Katrina and Sandy, none of you have done anything to feel guilty about, like Cassidy said it's mostly just some comments that were very unnecessary and never would have been said in the TTC thread before that have made is feel unwelcome. We don't expect you guys to come over here daily and read about our pregnancies, I TOTALLY understand that some days it's just way too hard to read about someone else being pregnant. I think it's mostly that we just feel like our advice or support gets ignored or brushed off and let's face it, we're all suffering from heightened emotions from hormones so we take things a little more personally. I am more than happy to root you guys on and give any tips or advice or answer questions when asked. All I ask is that we get a little more respect from some people and keep negative comments that offend each other to a minimum

 

[asmcsm]

Lol I'm still blown away by it some days too...Other days I forget that not everyone has two at once! Ha! They aren't even here yet and it already has it's challenges, but I love it and am so excited to be having two. I definitely feel like a lucky mama

[asmcsm]

Omg I feel sooooooo much better.

Yay!!! So happy you told the in-laws!! Not long now until the big announcement! Can't wait till everyone else knows too!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Omg I feel sooooooo much better.

Yay. I'm glad Cassidy.
Part of my problem is I have been with you girls since I joined bnb and I have problems making new friends. So I keep sticking around and chatting with my favorite ladies.

 

[asmcsm]

We're glad you stick around Katrina! We're still rooting for you to get your bfp every day!

 

[jury3]

I second Ashlee

 

[frsttimemama]

Yay Cassidy! That's so awesome! We won't be able to keep a secret AT ALL so I have super respect for those of you that can!!

Katrina, I can identify with that. I'm shy. Especially IRL! I'm outgoing and shy both. How does that work? Lol

 

[frsttimemama]

Okay, I hope you all don't mind and I know symptom spotting is bad.. but what kinda symptoms did you all have? I'm having some cramping, and I am SURE I'm not making it up.. but it doesn't necessarily mean I'm pregnant. I'm just curious. Between that, I'm EXHAUSTED (like today it made me think of how it was during 1st tri last time!), and sooo much creamy CM. Tomorrow is only 8 DPO, but just wanted some opinions please?

 

[asmcsm]

My symptoms at 8dpo were: cramping, pulling/pinching feeling, irritable, emotional, gassy, dizzy, nauseous, frequent peeing. Your symptoms sound great to me!

 

[TTCaWee1]

I was exhausted and cranky but we were also moving and working on our house....

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks ladies! I've been nauseated when I woke up the last 2 days, but fine after eating something, gassy, and bloated the last probably.. 2-3 days. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but we all know how hard that is!

 

[HWPG]

Hope is what keeps us coming back, sweetie. Fx!

Telling his family went good. He was absolutely NO HELP at all though so I just blurted it out!! Lol. His mom is in shock I think, and a little disappointed we waited so long (which I made sure she knew was her SONS choice!!! Lol). His step-dad is super pumped and kept saying how excited he is. His older sister said she 'already knew' and could just tell lol. His younger sister seems happy. I'm happy it's out in the open with all the fam now

 

[asmcsm]

Lol I knew it would come down to you telling them haha even chad called that one so happy that everyone is excited and happy for you!
