TTC and Beyond!

Love it Morgan! I've been meaning to do one for weeks now and just never feel up to it lol.
 
morgan, did you do this yourself? i'm not sure if i have a dark enough/light background for that.....
thanks everyone. FB is blowing up and i'm loving it! i feel just so.damn.happy. (unfortunately) it's the only thing i think about nowadays.... hehe.... need to focus! and no, no maternity things today - i'm still in my regular pants (albeit a size larger than normal) and regular shirt, but the "bump" (which really looks more like a super-sized lunch) still shows :)
 
No no Mirolee don't be discouraged!!!

1.) Turn the lights OFF (obv it was still daylight though, or it wouldn't work. The light from the window is what makes the silhouette!)

2.) Find a mirror to use, and snap it WHILE YOUR BUMP IS DIRECTLY IN FRONT of the window!

3.) It will already look pretty silhouette-y due to no lights, but I just added a few filters then made it black and white and it turned out great! :)
 
ok so much to catch up...I've been trying to follow along just haven't been able to comment.

Ash, I'm sorry your sister is in this situation and that it is making you feel the way you do. I'm glad that your mom has come around and started being more supportive but shame on your cousin and her name "stealing" (isn't she the one that stole your first name you had picked?) I guess you can take is as a compliment that she really wants to be like you but ugh how annoying. Lux is a beautiful name and so original! She is going to be sooooo loved and given so much attention! Oh and Happy Half Way!!

Cassidy, LOVE those names!

Mirolee, YAY for finally being "out"! Loved the announcement :)

Julie, I'm glad you were able to get Olivia to kick finally. I hope you get your wish of a smooth vaginally delivery.

Rachel, Hope everything is ok and you're feeling better than yesterday with that rib pain (i think thats what you said)

Sandy, So So happy for you...your worrying is totally understandable but I have faith that this is going to be your take home baby.

Morgan, LOVE the pic! How did you do that?

Sarah and Molly, sorry you're uncomfortable with the SPD pain...I can't imagine having that everyday. I hope you get some relief!

Amanda, I love all of your belly shots! I can't wait to do my own progression shots.

I *think* that's everyone...if I missed anybody I'm really sorry
 
Morgan, that's really cool!

Waves, that's awesome! :)

I'm thinking I will get a belly sooner since I was just hugely pregnant 6 months ago. Was that the case for you guys?

Also, I'm curious if they will go by LMP or O day. That changes things by like a week and a half. I imagine they will go by ultrasound dating.
 
Morgan cool picture.
Sandy I think it depends on your Dr. But I'm sure they will order a scan.
 
Sandy- YES! Me vs. the girls who haven't carried to term before was a crazy difference. By 14/15 weeks I had a proper bump when most don't. Even 10 weeks I felt so swollen, more so than others. It's wonderful though. Just wait til you feel him/her for the first time.. after just being pregnant with my angel it was quite an emotional thing for me! Be prepared though.. you have NO idea what it feels like to be pregnant for two straight years.. things get old a lot sooner lol. Molly is doing it, too!

What's your scan date again?
 
Assuming they do a bedside scan, Tuesday Feb. 4 @ 6+4. I don't have a formal scan set yet.
 
Thanks Morgan! Cute picture!

Brittney, thank you! I'm so excited to be half way there! And yes! It's the same cousin that used the boy name that I had originally wanted! Can't catch a break with my family! I guess my cousin was at my sister's house the other night with her mom and saying "oh yea, I still have some baby fat to lose after Jaxon" then when she got home said to her mom "They have no idea that I'm pregnant" My aunt responded with "Don't kid yourself, the whole family knows you're pregnant, they just aren't saying anything..." She's about 13.5 weeks now, so starting 2nd trimester, wondering how long she's planning to keep in under wraps
 
Cassidy- Love the names!! So cute!

Mirolee- I noticed that I was out of breath really early too, but it did go away some in the second trimester. Maybe being so tired had something to do with it too! Just wait til you get to the 3rd trimester! I can’t breath, eat or sleep!!! Yay for announcing!!!

Ashlee- It really is hard to share sometimes! When I had Alyssa, my two sisters also had babies that same year. She got to the be the only baby for about 6 months. It was hard to share, but now really fun because the kids are so close and can play together!

Amanda- Lookin good as always! Your belly looks fuller this week especially at the top. I definitely see a change!

Morgan- You look amazing! Love the picture!

Sandy- I definitely started showing earlier this time, but my bump is a totally different shape. I was so much rounder with Alyssa and he is just straight out bump! Nice not to have such large hips!


So sad that I missed the maternity sale on Zulily this past weekend. Not sure why I dont' just buy things when I see them.. :dohh:

Shoot, I WISH I got six months, I only get 5 1/2 weeks :? of having the only newborn
 
Mirolee, I LOVED the announcement! Woohooo!

Ash, gosh you cannot catch a break! Lux is far more creative and original than their names, I like it a whole lot more :)

Morgan, I saw your pic on instagram and LOVED IT! How beautiful! I'm so impressed that you did it by yourself.

Amanda, love your bump! Can't believe you're so close to your due date! I can't wait to meet the little miss.

Cassidy, when is your gender scan?

Hi hi to everyone that I missed. So hard to catch up and keep up!

OH and I had a "come to jesus" talk this morning and came to terms with splitting. We're going to go to hawaii together still, mainly because flights and accomodations are already paid for in full and non refundable, but will part ways when we get back. We're going to hawaii with a big group of people, so we will be able to get some space from each other. Scary to think about but I'm still at peace with it.
 
I'm sorry your parting Amanda but I'm glad you guys came to terms with it. I'm glad that your going with a group so you can spend time with other people.
 
"Come to Jesus" talk with yourSELF or HIM?! Lol. I think Hawaii will be great.. it'll give you time to adjust to the fact that things will be different and look forward to new beginnings. I'm so glad you've decided what's best for you... no reason to waste precious life in limbo land! Things will work out love, it will take some time (hopefully not many tears- we're here for you always!) but things will be alright here soon. Just have to get through this tough part. <3

ha. Come to jesus talk for all involved. Thank you. We're still going to be friends and I'm confident that things will be left on good terms.

My ex called yesterday and asked if I wanted all of the baby things we had gotten together while I was preggo last. I'm going to send a bunch of it up to Cassidy and Ashlee-- maybe even make a trip out of it and meet them in person!! but if there is anything someone is looking for, let me know, I probbaly have it. I'll send it your way! The only thing I don't think I can ship is the crib :) All of it is brand spankin new.
 
Oh it would be great if you meet them. I'm jealous of all my friends on here who can met while I live over here in the middle of no where. I wonder who lives closest to me?
 
Amanda, I'm so sorry. I'm hope the transition goes smoothly for you, we're all here for you :hugs:
