TTC and Beyond!

[morganwhite7]

Cass- YES! That's exactly what it feels like and mine started right around 13/14 weeks too! Literally maybe once or twice, but still! Like little muscle twitches, but different. They still make pretty "jerky" movements at this point. Woohoo!

Britt- I can't wait to hear.. Will you have a name for us tomorrow, too?!?

 

[Ingodshand]

Nikki- Happy One Month to Alia!!

Sandy- So happy the apt went well and you got to hear the heartbeat!! One of the best feelings ever

Britt- I think it is great that you are watching what you eat and you are really not eating for two! I had the whatever, I am pregnant mentality with my first and gained like 60 pounds. It was ridiculous and I never got back to my prepregnancy weight because it does not just fall off! It is so much harder to lose after having a baby so keep it up and don’t feel guilty! Can not wait for your scan tomorrow! I truly believe the Mom knows so you might just have your girl!

Waves- Happy 35 weeks!! You are getting so close and look great

Cassidy- Yay for feeling baby!!

BB- So sorry you are having a rough time and I completely understand not being able to deal with other people being pregnant. You will get your sticky rainbow. I just know it!

Katrina- How was your apt?

Sorry if I missed anyone!!

Thanks for all the concern about my appointment. I just felt so traumatized with what the doctor said, but I think I am over it. I will just labor at home as long as I can and do what I want! It is my body as long as the baby is monitored frequently then I know we will be okay!! Also, I don’t want to scare anyone about a c-section because it really is not that bad! Except that I had to have my arms strapped down during the procedure which just freaked me out.

Thanks dear


Having some uncomfortable period-cramp-type pain. It's constant though so nothing I can time from start to stop. My lower back hurts as well but I'm wondering if it's just her position or something like that.

Hi ladies.

Awesome news for STG and also to Sandy!!

I hope you felt (her) Cassidy! That's what mine felt like too.

And Ashlee I think you said you've been feeling Lux move? If so that's awesome.

Amanda it sure sounds like you are getting closer and closer to meeting Leah.

AFM, picked up Boo's ashes today. Heartbreaking. But in some way I feel like he's with us now. DH and I have had a hard time over the last few days with him being gone. Today I did some retail therapy. Mostly bc I have no clothes that fit and my shoes are too tight too lol. I think I spent $250 on clothes. But I got Ellie a few outfits too. One says "check meowt" with a little kitty on it. It's super cute.
We leave in the morning for Michigan and I haven't packed a single thing. I still have to go to the store and get snacks and last minute items....

Hope everyone is doing well and sorry if I missed anything major. (Fill me in if I did)

Cassidy-Sounds like baby to me! I hated that in the beginning bc I was always like "ok, was that a baby or was that actually a muscle twitch? Maybe I have a vein there that is twitching?" lol Eventually it started happening more and more though. So exciting!

Britt-lol I'm so excited for you!

Waves-It's hard to believe you have all that happening and it's only bh...

Sarah-Yeah, idk if I have to have my arms strapped down for sure or not but I'm hoping not! They said I can still do skin to skin with a c-section, but how will I do that if I don't have free arms! lol

bb-I'm sorry I can't even imagine how you must be feeling. I really hope you get your sticky bean soon!

 

[wavescrash]

Amanda it sure sounds like you are getting closer and closer to meeting Leah.

Who knows! I have a feeling she's going to keep causing problems for a few more weeks. Contractions for an hour that go away, BH for 3 hours, cramping, less movement... she'll give us the works, I'm sure.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Sorry I know I am not pregnant. But I hope you don't mind.
Results:
I had my pap done, she told me my cervix is off to one side but it shouldn't cause a problem. They made me give them blood and are running a thyroid test. I also got a flu shot so my arm hurts. They order 21 day bloods for Wednesday the 19th. It will cost us 76 bucks not bad in my opinion. DH can get an Sa they are calling with a time and cost tomorrow. She was pretty amazed I think with everything I had done.
Oh and my nurse was around 8 months pregnant go figure. But all in all I am happy with what we did today and that she seemed to take us seriously. I love her!

 

[clynn11]

Katrina- That is GREAT news!!! Maybe just lay on that one side more after BD'ing Lol. I hope your bloods have great results and that DH gets great results on his SA too. One step closer to that BFP! Really excited for you!!!

And don't apologize for posting in here, you are ALWAYS welcome, pregnant or not.

 

[Ingodshand]

I second what Cassidy said, you can post whatever you want Katrina! So glad the doctor was so nice and the cost was relatively cheap! I hope you get all your answers very soon!!!

Julie- I will have to ask my doctor at the next apt about skin to skin after a c-section. I do want to make sure they clean out his nasal and throat since c-section babies can have more junk in their since labor does not push it out. I am also going to ask about my arms this time since I am at a different hospital.

 

[jury3]

Katrina-Don't ever feel like you can't post here! I'm glad they are doing the testing! I hope you get some answers soon

Sarah-I'm sure they would do that before handing him over. I think they say skin to skin is best within 2 hours, so I guess as long as it can happen by then it'll be ok. I know we've got it planned that as long as everything is good I hold whoever comes out first (skin to skin), then will pass that baby off to DW so she can do skin to skin with them while I hold the 2nd baby.

Personally, I am excited about these! lol Only paid $25 total for all of them. Can't wait to put them on chubby little legs

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Morgan- I sure hope we have a name. DH is taking his time deciding from our two girl names! Boy name is 100% Elliot Roman.. girls are between Harper Olivia, or Ella Grace.. he just can't pick. It's getting frustrating at this point. Grrrr

 

[morganwhite7]

LOVE the boy name!! Also love the girl names but prefer Ella Grace.. So pretty & classy!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

I like both but DH is just like "I just don't know!" and it frustrates me. It's two names. How long does he need to pick one? I guess if it's a boy we won't have a problem, because we already picked that name.

 

[HWPG]

Mine feels more like morse code... At first I thought digestion, but when it happens several days in a row in the same spot, I really do think it's baby K now. I can't put into words how much I've anticipated this.... For years...
And oh yeah. The Olympics are on which I LOVE love love! Love!

 

[wavescrash]

Waves-It's hard to believe you have all that happening and it's only bh...

I have no idea what to make of it all but I'll (hopefully remember to) ask my OB tomorrow.

Morgan- I sure hope we have a name. DH is taking his time deciding from our two girl names! Boy name is 100% Elliot Roman.. girls are between Harper Olivia, or Ella Grace.. he just can't pick. It's getting frustrating at this point. Grrrr

Love those names Harper, Olivia, Ella & Grace have all been on my list between this & my last pregnancy. Hannah's middle name is Grace. Can't wait to see your update!

[wavescrash]

I just left a comment on their FB page so hopefully I get a response. That's too good of a deal to pass up lol.

 

[clynn11]

Thanks for the heads up on the deal Nikki!!!!

Mirolee- that's seriously the PERFECT way to describe it!! Morse code!! I felt it twice more today, just real quick little blips and then it was gone again. Same area. Starting to think it's the babe which is making me extra excited

Already commented in your journal Britt, but soooo excited for you and can't wait to know!!
