Hi girlies. Hope everyone is well especially your precious little cargos.

Mirolee. How do I find your journal ?

Sandy. When did you o on clomid ? I am completely lost. I got what I thought was a +opk on sun then did a couple more and neg. Then this morn (2nd wee again ) and nearly positive. Today I have o type twinges but I have no idea if I have or yet to o. We have been bding so much my foof cant take much more but i am feeling like I need to bd for the rest of the week. Also I am supposed to take aspirin after o to hopefully help a sticky bean. I am hoping for a bfp this month but terrified of another mc.

Also going to start and be healthy. Does anyone have any pork slow cooker recipes ? I tend to just throw in the meat and add a bit of gravy but I want something a bit more interesting.

My BFP cycle wasn't until cd 26. Others were 19-23. I'm a late O'er, even on clomid.

I like pork roast thrown in the crockpot with onion, garlic, salt, pepper, potatoes, and carrots!

 

[morganwhite7]

^ I also LOVE that crockpot recipe

Ash- WOW! I can't imagine how she feels but I'm sure it will all work out and she'll be a wonderful momma!! And that cheapie is pretty dark so maybe 6+6 is right? Those things don't work til like 10 days PAST your
missed period lol

 

[frsttimemama]

Wow Ash! Your poor sister. It's very dark. I did one at 4+1. I can share it for comparison if you want. I'm sure all will work out!!

KM, my journal link is in my signature.

 

[clynn11]

Omg ash that's craaazy. Shes got this though! I know how bad she's wanted to be a mama.

So would you not put any liquid in the crockpot at all ? I panic that it will burn out and as my 3 doggies are in the house I am terrified of it catching fire. I am such a worrier .

Oh yeah mirolee. I'm such an idiot . Ill have a look now .

 

[asmcsm]

Well, I talked to her. She told my mom and grandma and they both told her she should terminate but she told them that she created this baby and she wants to take responsibility for it. She knows that it's going to be hard but she also knows that she couldn't live with herself if she terminated. She's gonna tell the dad and give him the chance to be a part of it but she'll do it on her own if he doesn't. She made her first appointment on Feb 3rd. Might see if I can go with her for some support. I think right now I'm the only one that's supporting her decision.

[Cowgirl07]

Oh I'm sorry they told her that, she is an adult and it is her decision! I think it will be awesome for you to go with her and besides Lux will have a cousin close in age!

Hi bb.
No its my new years resolution to stay off fb. So far so good

 

[brunettebimbo]

Well done you! I'm far to nosey

 

[Ingodshand]

Ashley- Your poor sister. What a scary time, but I know everything will work out how it is supposed to!

Morgan- You look so cute!!

Sandy- We heard Evan’s heartbeat at 6+3 so there is a chance!! I so hope you get to hear it!!

Mirolee- I can definitely see your progression! You look great!

Julie- I am obsessed with Evan's closet after seeing what DW did for you all! Alyssa has a big walk in closet so I was worried about fitting everything into Evan's but you have given me hope!! Also, sorry about you MIL! Mine is crazy so I hear ya!

AFM- Found out I get a free electric bump through my insurance I only have to call when I am 32 weeks and get it ordered! We have decided on a baseball themed nursery and check out what I found on Pinterest... so cute!

I know that I shouldn't say this but I am really getting tired of being pregnant. I feel so guilt for saying that since it was such a struggle to get here but I am so tired, my back is killing me, BH contractions whenever I stand up and I am having such bad round ligament pain today. I can not wait to just hold my sweet boy!

Upside- The nurse just called to say that we have an ultrasound tomorrow to check the position of my placenta! It was close to my previous c-section scar at last check so I am praying that it has moved!!!

Oh yeah and look at this shirt! It is beyond ridiculous but I am still getting for Rob. He loves tattoos and would be covered in them if I would let him! I do not have any

Also, found this site on Zulilly that is having a huge maternity sale. Check out Hot Mama Maternity!

Love the nursery!

Julie, my mom buys SOOOO much. She's ALREADY buying and we literally NEED NOTHING except a few diapers maybe.. it makes me crazy! I just sort it and plan to get rid of whatever we don't like. Sometimes that's easier for me than arguing or hurting feelings.

I think that's what we plan on doing at this point. She's just so persistent! lol

my step sister gave us a crib that's dark wood. I really wanted a white crib but now I have this crib she gave to us. I feel like if I bought a new one, I'd never hear the end of it from my family, so I will probably just use it even though it's not what I like.

Julie- UGH! I know exactly what you mean. I have a very specific look I'll want for my children and I don't like a lot of the "cutesy" cheesy stuff. I hate bright pinks and carnation pinks for girls. I really don't want that kind of stuff, but i'm afraid that's what everyone will buy (if it's a girl). Sounds like MIL needs to back off a little!

That's a hard situation to be in...I know what you mean! I love and appreciate hand me downs, but at the same time it's fun to pick out your own style.
And I'm the same way! I don't like a bunch of the flowery, girly stuff...

hi girls,
i'm due sept.22nd and thought i'd join you guys
how's everyone feeling?

Welcome!

Ashlee-What a tough situation to be in! I'm sure she feels like it's a horrible thing right now, but in the end it will be a wonderful thing. Like you girls were saying, my mom was 17 when she got pregnant with me. She did marry my dad, but he was an ass hole and she was basically a single mom the majority of the time. Definitely will be thinking of her while this all sinks in and works itself out...

Morgan-Not always true! Remember mine had the best line even against FRER and wondfo at 12dpo...However, her's does look really dark though!

 

[jury3]

Ashlee-That's so sad they both told her that...I'm glad she stood up for herself and is sticking by her decision. I hate that people just jump to termination so quickly just to get rid of the problem. I believe there is a time and a place for it, but it's sad when it's the first suggestion they have. After having the mc, I'm sure she would regret it later if she did. She's lucky to have you there to support her

Sarah-I am freaked out having such a tiny closet for twins! lol The closet is only 4' wide! I took to pinterest to find ideas and feel much better about it now. It think we'll just have to be extremely organized to make it work. Glad we gave you some hope though!
Yay for the free pump! My doc said she'd write a script so I could get the electric pump for free since my ins only does the manual without a script.
Cute room! I love the tattoo sleeves too lol
Don't feel bad, being pregnant is not easy! I'm getting so uncomfortable...I'm already measuring 35 weeks, so I'm worried how much worse it's going to get! lol Hang in there!

 

[Kiamaria83]

Ok so I've started a journal.
Feel free to read it but you dont have to. Its a bit long winded but it has helped to write it down.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Annnnnd I just found a my little lamb bouncer for $12...lol I need to stop. Or keep going...

Ashlee - that sounds like a tough situation but hopefully whatever decision she makes is the best for her. I am personally against abortion unless you are raped or it is for a legit medical reason. That's just my opinion. I think everyone makes the choice to have unprotected sex and they know the possibilities that come with it. I'm glad that she's going to keep it. She should make the decision based on her feelings not anyone else's and it's awesome that she has you to be supportive. In the end all will work out. And if the guy doesn't man up, then she'll find a way to make it work on her own.

How awful! I'm so sorry to hear that. It makes me so sad and angry that some people think that just terminating is the answer. If you have unprotected sex, you might get pregnant. We all know that. So glad she has you for support. Fx that telling him goes well.

 

[frsttimemama]

Ash, This is my First Signal cheapie at 4+1. Your sister's is a LOT darker. FX that all is going well for her!
