TTC and Beyond!

[Cowgirl07]

Twiglets what are they? I feel like crud. I have a bit of a headache and Dh got up super early this morning to go on his trip.

Its super exciting that your baba is nearly here.

Twiglets are the best snack. They are mamite (vegemite i think is what you call it ) flavoured twig like snacks. Ill send you some if you like. They are addictive though.
Get yourself a bath and a glass of wine. Thay should sort you out

Amanda- I know what you mean, and I worry that when I register people will do the same thing. I don't even know if I registering makes any sense reallly.. a lot of my older family members don't get online or know how to do anything with them. So I have no idea what i'm going to do. I don't even know what I need becasue I've never had a kid. I'm a little overwhelmed!

^A boob, warm/comfy clothes & blankets, and diapering materials. All the rest is excess (although soothers etc may be a great help!) It's so hard to know what the baby will like before they're here. Just take it easy and don't stress, like I said the 3 main essentials are all a baby really needs!

Colette- I want to try Vegemite so bad but can't find it at any stores! I can't wait for your first appt btw

Gosh it has been so quiet lately.. I miss all the CHATTER!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

You are right Morgan! In reality, they really don't need much! It's important to keep that in mind!!

and I agree.. been very quiet lately!

 

[Kiamaria83]

Morgan pm me your address and ill send you a jar of marmite. Its great on toast even better with a cheese and marmite toastie yum.
3 weeks tomorrow until my scan. Sooo nervous.

Britt a play mat is always a good idea. One with lights and sounds also a bouncy chair that vibrates is really good for soothing babas.

I'm off to bed now as I cant keep my eyes open. Have a good evening girls.

To be honest I dont post as much here anymore because sometimes I feel like I'm talking to myself.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Oh that sounds yummy.
I feel that way on the other thread so I go to my journal where I feel better about monopolizing the conversation

 

[HWPG]

i dont post too often, but i'm always reading!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

I'm sorry Amanda! I hate when I feel like that (which I do a lot.. which is why my posting intensity has went down). I care about what all of you have to say but sometimes I just feel like by the time I answer we've moved on, or everyone has already said what i would have said. LOL

 

[HWPG]

mostly i just feel tired. i look at my computer, then look at my couch, and i choose couch i'll try to be more active.
here's my input for the day: i love being pregnant. i feel great, i love this little belly thats growing, i love this "gang" i'm a part of, i love being hungry and indulging in it. i cant wait for spring and summer, to wear skirts and flaunt this thing; to warm up in the sun; to go to farmers market and be all bump and hippie and organic and sh*t. i cant wait to find out the gender, and say he/she, to sort out the psuedo-nursery, to open the windows and let fresh air in; to get maternity photos and adorable tiny clothes and have a baby shower; to bring a new life into this world where s/he is already so so loved.

Rachel- so sorry to hear about your cat I know how hard it is to watch a pet die right in front of you and it's just completely awful. I cry more for my pets dying than people, which probably isn't the best thing to admit, but they're basically your children. Lots of hugs your way.

I am not a Marmite fan lol. It's one of those things that you either love it or hate it for sure. Morgan, if there's a World Market near you they usually will have it.

Amanda, hopefully little Leah decides to turn soon! Sorry you didn't get more of the things you needed, that sucks.

I too am on here reading even if I don't always reply. Things have just been a lot busier since I switched positions at work so less BnB time!

 

[Cowgirl07]

I sometimes don't know what to say, I have no experience with being pregnant. So I just read and comment when I can.

 

[Disneybaby26]

I try to post as much as possible, especially when someone is struggling. I just have a super demanding position and basically can't be online for 9-12 hours a day while I'm there! BUT i do honestly read every word! I gotta admit, I can't wait to be home blabbing away for those 3 months!!

Morgan- you're looking so pregnant but still adorable as usual!! I definitely see a difference!

 

[frsttimemama]

Sorry I haven't been as talky lately, too. I have been busyyyy at work. Ugh. And exhausted.

Feeling better tonight. Heartburn is burning away! Haha. I'll take it over nausea any day. Getting so so nervous for appointment time tomorrow. This time tomorrow, I should know if things are well with Baby. Eek. So ready for spring. SO over winter. Expecting another 6-10" of snow. I'm extra nervous about the ice and slickness being pregnant.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Even if we get a foot I can make it to the clinic it's 3 blocks away I generally walk there anyway.

 

[frsttimemama]

I'm about 30 miles from my doctor/the hospital. There's another hospital closer to use, about 12 miles away, but I wouldn't go there unless I'm dying. You have a UTI and/or you're dehydrated every time you go there, even if your leg is broken. Haha. I feel like I've been productive tonight even though I just cooked supper with hubby's help, did a couple loads of laundry, and washed the dishes. Now I'm snuggled up with my heating pad on my sore back and my dog who alternates between mine and hubby's lap. Silly boy I am SO nervous about this appointment tomorrow. Is there one? Is there two? Is there a heartbeat? Is everything okay? It's so hard not to be worried after all we have been through.

 

[asmcsm]

So, my sister had her ultrasound today. Saw and heard heartbeat. She's 6+4 due September 25th. My cousin apparently was there getting proof of pregnancy to file for child support so she stayed to watch US with my sister. So that means I'm due June 12th, cousin due July 28th and sister due September 25th...lots of baby showers happening this year for my family.

 

[Cowgirl07]

We have two clinics in town. For different hospitals, the hospitals are each in towns ten minutes away in the opposite directions.

 

[wavescrash]

Oh that sounds yummy.
I feel that way on the other thread so I go to my journal where I feel better about monopolizing the conversation

I've just been posting more on the FB group my due date club created lol.

I'm sorry Amanda!

Oh, no need to apologize. I'm not complaining by any means lol. I just figured I'd be honest since the topic came up

i cant wait for spring and summer, to wear skirts and flaunt this thing; to warm up in the sun; to go to farmers market and be all bump and hippie and organic and sh*t.

I'm so jealous you get to be pregnant in warmer weather. Both last time and this time around have been clear through winter. I would kill to wear maxi dresses and maxi skirts while pregnant instead of my pj pants and hoodies lol.



One of the things next on my list to get for Leah/the girl's bedroom was a changing table pad to go on top of Leah's dresser. OH & I finally got around to repainting it this weekend (still need to get a few more drawer pulls as the store didn't have enough for what we needed) so I wanted to get a changing pad and cover to have 1 thing totally finished. Anyway changing pads are on average over $20 but I found a few online for $18. I wanted to spend less than that mostly because Leah will only use it a few months before we start changing her on the floor or something so I posted in a local selling group on FB asking if anyone had one for sale. A lady messaged me saying she had one for $15 but that price + driving to pick it up, I might as well just buy one new online and have it shipped to me. Well anyway... we were out and decided to go to Salvation Army. Sure enough, I round the corner by the furniture and there's a changing table pad in great condition for only $4.99 so we snagged that right up. I just need to order the cover I wanted from Target's website, get the rest of the drawer pulls and that will be all done.

Ran to Target and got some nursing pads, lanolin, hats to match the mittens for her to come home in & I grabbed the Burt's Bees sunblock stick.

Also saw the double stroller we want is on sale right now. Originally $139 but marked down to $114 until Feb 15th. I have a coupon for 10% off anything left on my registry plus my 10% team member discount. I'm also going to see if my sister will let us give her the cash so we can use her Target Red Card to get an additional 5% off and if we get OH's tax return back before the sale is over, I want to get our Rock & Play sleeper since I'll get the discounts with that as well (team member, red card, registry 10%.) So fingers crossed we get his refund before the 15th. We just got his W2 today so I filed immediately but can't get an estimated refund date for a few more days.
