TTC and Beyond!

[frsttimemama]

Julie, you look great! Yay for all the adorable baby things, too! Sorry about your boss.

I'm keepin it together. Gonna wait and see what tomorrow's number is and go from there. To say I'm not scared would be a lie, but it's tolerable. We are exhausted anyway so early dinner and bedtime. Then it will be time to do another FRER and go get my labs draw. Hopefully I'll only have to wait an hour again. FX. I'm a little crampy today, but I know that's normal, and I remember that from last time.

Looking good Julie!!

Oh Sandy, I'm sure you are so nervous. Try to relax and know you'll hear good news tomorrow!

Julie-you look great!! love the baby stuff too, so exciting!!

Sandy- thinking of you!! It's going to be a great number, I just know it! Don't let the bitchy nurse get you down!!

 

[Ingodshand]

You look great Julie! Glad you got such nice stuff at your shower!

Sandy- will be praying that your little bean is snuggling in so tight!!!

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks ladies. I'm praying s/he is okay in there, too.

 

[Ingodshand]

Have any of you read the alpha mom blog? She has an entry for every week and it is really funny!

It's going on 2am here which means I'm officially 32 weeks today. CRAZY. Just crazy.

I plan to start my Raspberry Leaf Tea capsules sometime today, just gotta pick them up from Target. Our scale isn't digital so I don't trust it to weigh myself but about a week and a half ago, I weighed myself at my parent's on their digital scale. Weighed myself again today and I've gained 4 lbs in less than 2 weeks. Whoops. That makes a grand total of 29lbs gained so far this pregnancy with 8 weeks left to go.

I'm freaking out about this baby shower that's in 2 and a half weeks. It's going to be a total flop because we're broke and I decided to front the costs myself and my mom is being her total stupid self. And of course there's still like 15 people who haven't bothered to RSVP one way or the other so I had to be a total jerk and call them out on FB to try and get a response so we can get a head count.

And I turned OH down for sex for the millionth time because it currently feels like there's a baby falling out of my vagina and I feel bad because he goes so long without it ALL THE TIME because my sex drive has been non-existent for over 2 years due to pregnancy with Hannah, Zoloft for PPD and the stupid Implanon. My drive came back finally but my body is just too uncomfortable to even think about it right now.

Ahh julie lovely pics. There us nothing nicer than seeing a bump pic. Although it does make me feel like crying. In a good way though. I always get emotional when I see big bumps, just knowing theres a lovely little bean in there. Its just amazing.

Sandy. I dont have much faith in drs. They are so wrapped up the science I think they forget about the people and the need to be a bit more sensitive. You'll be fine. Its super early and lime the girls said its pretty unusual to find out so early.

Amanda good luck. Have you tried a super hot curry ?

Nicky. Well done in the weight loss. It took me ages to lose my wobbly bits

This morning's test is definitely darker, which is a load off of my mind. I have been praying practically every waking second for the last 24 hours. Ha. Getting ready to go get blood drawn. Hopefully they will give me the results over the phone again. FX. I know I don't have to ask, but say a little prayer for us. Baby needs to stick.

 

[Ingodshand]

Definitely darker!!! Will be praying for all of you and cannot wait to hear the results!!!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Sandy that is was my first FRER looked like! I took it on Wednesday and by Saturday it was DARK! Lookin' good!!!

 

[frsttimemama]

They said I can call about 10 and they should have results. I am SO nervous I could throw up. Lol

 

[Lotalaughs16]

Julie, you look great!!

Amanda, I'm sorry you're so uncomfortable and thats too bad about your friends that aren't rsvping...thats so rude.

Sandy, Praying for you...crossing everything that can be crossed also!! This mornings test is alot darker..thats a great sign!!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

I've been feeling awful the last day and half. Did this happen to any of you ladies who are further along? I haven't been feeling sick or anything. In fact, I'd been feeling pretty darn good, and now I feel sicky again. I don't want to eat even though i'm hungry and it seems like some of my aversions are back. I'm so over this. I also feel like maybe my stomach is getting a little scrunched now? and maybe it's causing me to feel a little sick. I'd prefer it'd be pregnancy related rather then me getting a stomach bug or a cold.

nice looking lines/progression sandy!

Sarah- I've read the alpha mom blog.. And 50 other blogs every week once I hit my "swing day". I read their posts about 25 weeks (at the moment) and move onto another.. haha there are so many. I love reading all the different blogs and seeing the bellies grow, I could do it all day while hubby watches stupid tv!

Waves- I've been drinking organic preggo tea (with rasp/strawberry leaf and stinging nettle leaf) this entire pregnancy, about to start double brewing or drinking more.. but I'd rather do the capsules, that sounds easier than making 3 cups of tea lol. You said they sell it at Target? I want to order some.. I never thought of taking it in capsule form. And do you know anything about taking Bromelain capsules while pregnant (when due date is closer!) instead of eating pineapple? I read you'd have to eat the equivalent to 8 pineapple cores to get enough Bromelian, so jw if you know if the 500mg capsules would be safe..? I also plan do the EPO too starting at 35ish weeks. Anything to make her come on time and with ease.

Sandy- Beautiful line!!! I prayed for you guys too this morning, can't get your BFP off my mind.. so excited for you!

Britt- Sorry but in my case, my stomach just keeeeps getting more squished lol.. As baby gets bigger, everything will just ache in there and big meals will make you feel like such a whale! My sickness had subsided by about 16 weeks and I started to feel like- ouch my belly really has a human in it!! lol

my jeans def are not buttoning, and i've embraced the belly band. also, the sweater i'm wearing today is kind of long and my bf was like, "yep, you wont be able to hide that for much longer" - i'm definitely feeling like i'm bumping (tee hee!). luckily, i only have about a week left to keep it (mostly) under wraps - tuesday is the scan, so i feel like next wednesday will be some sort of reveal - maybe for coworkers; FB will come later.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Sandy those lines are brilliant! I'm on my phone and didn't even need to enlarge!

 

[frsttimemama]

31.97 in 40 hours!! Sounds promising to me!
