TTC and Beyond!

[asmcsm]

Yay Britt! Welcome to team pink! Frustrating about the name but also kinda funny that you guys both changed your minds

 

[wavescrash]

Amanda, so hard to believe you're only having BH's and nothing real. My gosh.. I hope you get great news today at the doctor!

Waves- How are you feeling today?

Thanks ladies. I imagine it's all because this is my 3rd so things are happening sooner and stronger but that doesn't mean I'll necessarily go too much earlier. But we'll see what my OB has to say today. My appointment's 2:20 (I thought it was 2 but whatever lol.)

Today I feel okay. A little crampy but I think that's just because I need to go #2 and it isn't going so smoothly lol. I blame my iron supplements so I'm skipping them for a couple days. As gross as it sounds, when I attempted to check my cervix last night, I could totally tell I needed to go and felt weirded out that my OB is going to feel that later today too lol. I'd also like the cramping to stop if that's what's causing it. Baby's still pretty low. My bump is sagging over my pubic bone lol. Leaving here for my appointment in a little over 3 hours

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!

I'm at work, so I have to make it short and sweet right now, but everything look perfect!! I cried like a freaking baby and so did DH and my mom! HB was 136!!

I'm in love!!!!

Congrats mama!!!! Girls are rather lovely. Good luck on the name decision though lol. I gave OH a small list of names and told him to pick one. I had narrowed it down to the few I really, really wanted most and let him make the final decision.

No ms yet. It didnt kick in until about 8 weeks last time. Im a bit worried that I dont really have any symptoms other than tiredness and slight pms feeling.

Don't worry mama! Every single preggo on this thread has made that exact same comment, previously having been pregnant or not. Everyone worried they didn't feel any symptoms or strong enough symptoms and we're all still here, some of us very much pregnant. For most of us, real symptoms didn't start until about 8 weeks and got stronger closer to 10. You'll be okay Just enjoy the moment!

Yayyy!! That is so exciting!! I think it must be all the soft cups.. everyone is having girls it seems! Did you use them?

3 girls here and no soft cups or special DTD tricks (like SMEP or anything else.)

PS - Baby Leggings website is working properly again in case anyone wanted to try that 5 free pairs offer.

I know Ash! It's crazy! We both went for the opposite one, but i'm pretty sure he will be stuck on Ella. We will see. I like them both, so if he really doesn't want to give in, i'll go with Ella.. but he did say Harper at the doctors!! I'm so confused! LOL. But I guess I said Ella, and I want Harper.

Amanda, I get what you are saying. Hopefully you at least made some progress this week, as miserable as you have been. I can't take iron either. Ugh.

 

[Lotalaughs16]

Congrats Britt!!! I love both of the names you have picked out, give it some time and I'm sure you'll agree on something.

 

[morganwhite7]

YESSSS I love the Baby Leggings I picked out!! Esp the Strawberry ones!! Awh hurry up and ship little leggings.... I'm one of those ppl who checks the USPS tracking # like every half hour.. LOL

Thanks... I hope so too. Even if it means nothing, baby changing position or dilating another cm or effacing some more... I'll take it! It's weird because I've never had a breech baby before so normally I'd do squats and things like that to help bring her down more to help change my cervix but if she's still breech, that will do no good. Neither will walking so it's just kinda waiting until it happens totally on it's own or they have to do a c-section and I don't like that. Even if my squats and walking aren't TRULY helping, I like feeling like I'm doing something to speed it up lol.

Hahah I do too. I was hoping my state refund would have deposited today but it hasn't so I'm going to wait a couple more days to order mine if it's $12 shipping. That's cheap but funds are low right now and I'd rather make sure I can get food/diapers if anything happens before my refund clears lol.

 

[morganwhite7]

^Oh yes I do know what you mean.. I had to have hubby go deposit $3 into the acct yesterday bc I overdrew it, so sad lol. And then Friday mornings everythings always golden again. But we make sure we use every last drop too

Speaking of funds, I've got a pretty hefty vacation fund finally. Since no one wanted to take us after everything we've been through this year (MIL took all the other cousins to the beach- TWICE, but didn't ask if we'd wanna come ) I am taking myself on a cruise as soon as Marley sleeps through the night lol

 

[Cowgirl07]

Awesome Britt.

Nice! Jealous lol! Never been on a cruise.

We get paid bi-weekly, both of us the same week and of course that would be NEXT Friday lol. Oh well. Yeah we come close to using every last dime between paychecks. But OH interviewed at an auto body shop on Wednesday. It seems promising but it always does yet never works out so I'm not hopeful until we know for sure (he's calling back today to follow up.) But if he got it, it would be 40 hours a week with some chances for overtime, and I think around $10/hour which may not sound like much but compared to his current job... it's fantastic. So hopefully he gets that lol.

 

[clynn11]

Lol about the names Britt thats cracking me up. But yaaaaay for team pink!!! So many girlies in our group!!

 

[RobertRedford]

Yay for team pink, Britt! I love both the names. Goodluck picking!

 

[frsttimemama]

I've never been on a cruise either. The thought of it kinda freaks me out! Flying, too. I'm such a weenie!

 

[clynn11]

I honestly think DH and I would go crazy on a cruise!! Lol. It seems too confined to me. I'd love to go travel through Europe though, see all the history. That would be amazing

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

I'm with you Cassidy! I'd LOVE to go to Europe!! I don't know how i'd do on the open ocean! As I get older i'm getting worse with motion sickness, so i'm not sure I would be able to do it.

 

[Ingodshand]

Congrats Britt!!! Yay for team pink!

I went on a cruise to Mexico in college and it was so fun! I didn't get cabin fever since you get off the boat most days. Man, I really want a margarita!

 

[goldstns]

Congrats on a girl Brit.

my family does family cruises every other year. So next summer we r going on one...alia will be a year and a half!! I don't fly well either, but IV been given meds for it, so it helps.

 

[goldstns]

Alia must be going threw a growth spurt... She won't leave the boob alone!

 

[morganwhite7]

Post some more pics Nikki! I've got baby fever!!
