TTC and Beyond!

[CantHrdlyWait]

yay Sandy!!! That's wonderful news!

 

[clynn11]

Yaaaay Sandy, such great news!!!

 

[jury3]

Katrina-I second what the other girls said, we are here for you no matter how long it takes! Like Morgan said, your charts look like you are ovulating, so hopefully you might just need a boost or something.

Sandy-Great news! So glad LO is ok

Colette-I forgot to say congrats! That test looks nice and dark!

Nikki-How is Alia today? I'm glad she doesn't seem to be in pain, that's got to be a big relief.

Kara-Yay for passing!

Morgan-It is crazy that we will be popping babies out left and right in just a month or so!

Britt-Yeah, totally normal. That early I had days where I didn't feel as much or almost nothing and that was with 2 in there. Even a few weeks ago (incase you forgot my freak out lol), Olivia was barely moving. I can put my phone on my belly and get them to kick it but she wouldn't even do that. I was totally freaked out. She has definitely made up for it since lol

Sarah-Maybe you'll go into labor on your own and can labor at home for a little while. I don't understand why they think they need to monitor every second...Even if it's walk down the hall, monitor, move around the room, monitor...Moving will help labor progress, so making you lay in a bed just seems stupid.

Cassidy-We haven't changed detergents either, but I've noticed for a little bit now that my maternity pants tend to make my belly itch. When I do laundry I fill to the 1 line. DW did laundry the other night and said she fills it almost to the 3! That's a lot more than me lol So I'm wondering if that's why. I'm really, really hoping switching to free and clear will solve the problem! I also put the washer on to do an extra rinse, so maybe that will help too.

I think the 3rd tri has greeted me with exhaustion. I'm back to feeling like I need naps again. I have too much to do to nap all the time! lol
Is anyone else slacking on finding a pediatrician? I need to call my doc and get the names she recommended so I can start setting up meetings, I am just being lazy...lol

 

[Cowgirl07]

Thanks ladies
Julie your babies are the size of rutabagas!

 

[wavescrash]

I missed a lot of updates waiting to hear back from the doctor, sorry ladies I think I read Sandy had a scan with a HB so congrats dear So exciting. I think I read due date of Sept 26? That's my 8 year old's birthday so that's a pretty good day to have a baby


AFM - Finally got a call back from my OB's nurse. Said my OB thinks it's just my plug and as long as baby's moving okay, no need to worry yet. Said to call the on-call OB if anything changes tonight. I see her Friday so hopefully I can hold off on needing her until then lol. I suppose maybe I should think about starting to pack our bags lol.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Might be a good idea. What's Leah wearing home?

 

[jury3]

Katrina-lol true! I couldn't even tell you how big a rutabaga is...I'm sure I've seen them in the store but haven't paid much attention lol They feel huge today, that's for sure!

Waves-That's exciting! Crazy to think she will be here probably sooner than later.

Personally I am having a slightly miserable pregnancy day. First the itching, which is still there but not quite as bad, and now I feel like there is a spot ripping open next to my belly button. I noticed I have some kind of numb spots on my belly. I'm also feeling short of breath today. Having a hard time getting comfortable. I am just getting so huge!!! The babies are doing crazy things in there though, I keep feeling limbs scrape across the top of my belly which is pretty cool.

 

[Cowgirl07]

It's a very weird thing to compare a baby too lol.

 

[goldstns]

Julie- thx for asking..shes having a good day today. She was constipated for last 24 hr but just had the biggest poop IV ever seen! Which was great cuz I think the meds were giving her a belly ache.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Glad she's having a good day. She is just the cutest.

 

[jury3]

Lol the biggest poop you've ever seen...I'm sure the meds had something to do with it!

 

[wavescrash]

This is Leah's going home outfit (although if she comes sooner rather than later, I may need something smaller lol.) along with the mobile I made that hangs over her dresser.

Once we get the changing pad cover and the rest of the drawer pulls to finish the dresser, I'll post a complete/full picture.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Awe she will be adorable. Love the mobile.

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks I need to wash her going home outfit and most of her clothes if I'm going to start packing my bag lol.

 

[clynn11]

I LOVE THAT OUTFIT!!!! Lol. And the mobile, absolutely adore the color scheme!

Nikki- yay for big poops! I remember when my mom had my baby sister Jayden and she was so constipated they had to give her enemas. Not fun

Julie- I'm sorry you're feeling like crap today! Have you had an appt. recently? Are they expecting you to be able to carry the babies to full term? I can't wait to feel my little babe kicking away in there... hopefully soon!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

love the coming home outfit amanda!

 

[wavescrash]

I LOVE THAT OUTFIT!!!! Lol. And the mobile, absolutely adore the color scheme!

love the coming home outfit amanda!

Thanks you guys


AFM - the cramping finally subsided for the most part but every time Hannah crawled around my belly or touched it or anything, I would have a strong BH. After we put her to bed I went pee, wiped and walked out of the bathroom. I got as far as the end of the hallway when I felt a sticky glob in my underwear so I waddled back to the bathroom to wipe again and there was more mucus-y stuff with very faint streaks of pink. I would LOVE to know what's going on lol.

I started to finally pack our hospital bag but need to wash Leah's clothes before I can do any more. Went to go put a load of hers and Hannah's laundry in the machine and someone had a load just sitting in there. 2 hours later, it's still there so I'm going to wait until morning. I was just bummed because obviously that's annoying -- you don't just leave your laundry in the machine in an apartment building for hours on end but also because I finally got the motivation to pack the dang thing and had to stop before I really even started lol. Oh well.

 

[frsttimemama]

I missed so much today!!

Amanda, sorry you're so miserable! Love the coming home outfit and decor and color scheme!! That's so annoying about the laundry left in the wash! Rude people!

Kara, so glad you passed! Lol @ ice cream for dinner. I love love love ice cream!

Britt, I can understand being nervous about reduced movement. Even early on. Glad the girls talked you through it! Being pregnant is scary.

Morgan, you have every right to be scared about that! I hope you have been able to relax about it!

Sarah, that's so frustrating! ! I just don't understand the thought behind that. Or why a VBAC costs more than a C-section! It just doesn't make sense!

Julie, I am sorry you feel like crap!

Rachel, I hope today was better for you!!

Sorry if I forgot anybody!

My appointment was good! The doctor is super understanding and didn't sugarcoat anything. She said you are gonna be nervous and it's gonna be worse the farther it goes. She is making me do a 24 hour urine, a slew of labs and a 1 hour glucose test because I am overweight (jerks! Lol) so they are being very cautious. She did an internal ultrasound and showed us the baby and it's heartbeat. Such a relief! She also said if I ever need anything when my doctor is unavailable, call her because she would be glad to see me which was nice because we both liked her. It was good.

 

[asmcsm]

Yay sandy! So glad the apt went well! You're due the day after my sister lol

I have been having the worst leg cramps the last few nights yeesh! They last forever and hurt so much! But on the bright side I've been little Lux kicking the last few days which is amazing

 

[frsttimemama]

Maybe some bananas would help with your leg cramps?

We plan on a c-section at 39 weeks.. or as soon as I can talk my way into it. Lol
