TTC and Beyond!

[Cowgirl07]

Lol we sure have been covering our bases lately. Mainly cause this girl doesn't like having needles in her arm every couple weeks.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Sandy- so glad all is well!!!

katrina- I agree! Lovely temp rise!

I am sick or something. I just feel super blah. I don't want to eat and my stomach just feels uneasy. I had grits for lunch because everything else is grossing me out. I'm wondering if it's a small MS bout or what. I just feel like crap and I want it to go away.

 

[jury3]

Sandy-So glad all is ok!

Katrina-I can't wait for you to get your tests done so you know if anything is off...

I am feeling weird today. I was feeling nauseous, my arms were feeling kind of weak/numb/tingly, my heart was racing slightly and I kind of felt a little light headed. Kind of feel like I need to take deep breaths. It wasn't bad, and I get that sometimes but usually it's while I'm in the shower or actually doing something. This is all while resting on the couch. I just feel kind of off today. I don't know if it's just be babies positioning or what. I don't want to call my doc bc it's prob nothing...what do you girls think?

 

[morganwhite7]

Julie I'm having something similar happen at the moment! Feeling very weak, like it's low blood sugar or something but it can't be. Numb/tingly/like my head is in a daze. Hoping it goes away soon, but this has happened before. Kind of like our heart is pumping and you're out of breath but did nothing. I feel like I need to lay down but am at work swamped with things to do!!

Now that I think about it though, it could be positioning. I've been sitting in a desk chair all day and my tailbone hurts.. maybe we're compressing our vena cavas like when you sleep on your back!! Lol. Maybe try to change positions or lay down (like I SO wish I could do right now!!) to get the babies re-situated.

 

[jury3]

Yeah, that's basically how I'm feeling. I was feeling off before and laid down on the couch on my right side, after that it got worse. Now I'm on my left side and I still feel a little off. I ate a pbj and drank some milk around 10. I'm drinking water in case that helps. Not sure. If it keeps happening I may call. Like I said, it's just weird that it's happening while I'm sitting/laying down. Usually it happens bc I'm up and moving around.

Oh and I forgot to post my bump pics for the week...The bare belly is 7 weeks growth, just crazy. I can't even imagine what it's going to look like in another 7 or 10 weeks, if I make it that far lol

 

[Cowgirl07]

You look awesome Julie!

 

[clynn11]

Sandy, so glad everything is good with little bean!!

Julie and Morgan, not sure what it could be but I hope you both start feeling better soon!

Katrina- Awesome temp rise and BD pattern! Woot woot get it girl.

And Julie- you look amazing! The babies have grown so much in just this last week!!!

 

[morganwhite7]

Julie- Amazing growth from 27 to 28 weeks!!! Girl ya might wanna just start living in bed! I cannot imagine how it feels to grow DOUBLE the amount of humans that we are.. So amazing to think about and again, I don't know how you're doing it- kudos mama!!

 

[Kiamaria83]

Julie you look lovely. Have you girls been eating plenty ? Could be that your babas are squishing a nerve maybe. I cant wait for a bump but then I keep remembering how uncomfortable I was.

Ooo katrina yay for o, hoping this is your month.

Great news sandy. Hope you feel calmer now.

Amanda . Hope you're feeling ok. I bet you're ready to meet the little lady now. Im loving the stroller.

Britt. I feel similar to you today. The only way to explain how I feel is a bit like I have a hangover.
Cass excited for your scan.

What do you girls think about strollers. Elliott will be 3 when the baby comes so not sure if to get a double or not. As we have the dogs I tend to do a lot of walking and Im not sure how long a 3 year old will walk before getting tired. I had a dream I had a ceasarian last night and it was a boy. I do think its another boy but worried about the ceasarian bit.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Julie/Morgan/Colette- I hope you all feel better soon. I know I am miserable too. I just don't know what's wrong and I think that's what frustrates me the most. Before I got pregnant, I never felt sick or run down like this, so i'm guessing it's pregnancy and not a bug. Blah!

I think DH and I are going to have to start over on picking names. I really think that he doesn't like Harper and he's afraid to tell me because he knows how much I love it. Honestly though, i'll be heartbroken if I have to take it off the "table". I love it so much, and I just can't imagine i'd like anything as much as I like Harper. My mom was like "well, you can't name her something he doesn't like" and I know that's true, but it's still heartbreaking to me. I tend to like the shorter one or two syllable names so i've been looking at lists today.

 

[Kiamaria83]

Britt . It will be pregnancy. Its so exhausting growing a human. I love the name harper. Maybe dont mention names for a while then throw it back in there in a few weeks.
Its 8:30 and im going to bed ! Sooooo tired.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Yeah, I guess growing a human is pretty exhausting. I just wish it didn't include nausea. I hate feeling sick.

I emailed DH today and asked if he wanted to go back to the drawing board with names. He didn't answer in a straight foreward manner, so that probably means yes. I'm not going to say anything else until he does.

 

[jury3]

Thanks ladies! I feel absolutely huge and am starting to get quite uncomfortable. I've had a bit of swelling the last few days, but probably bc I wasn't drinking enough water.

Julie- Amazing growth from 27 to 28 weeks!!! Girl ya might wanna just start living in bed! I cannot imagine how it feels to grow DOUBLE the amount of humans that we are.. So amazing to think about and again, I don't know how you're doing it- kudos mama!!

That's basically what it's coming too lol This past week I feel like I've taken another dive downhill. I'm lucky if I complete one task a day! Getting up to pee at night is becoming horribly painful...I'm not as worried about how I do it now as I am how I will do it in a few weeks! I keep wondering how the hell I'm going to keep these babies in without either writhing in pain every second or just dieing lol

Julie you look lovely. Have you girls been eating plenty ? Could be that your babas are squishing a nerve maybe. I cant wait for a bump but then I keep remembering how uncomfortable I was.

Yeah, I had just eaten not too long before I started feeling like crap, so I don't think that was it. I eat pretty regularly. I just assume it's probably babies pressing on something.

Britt-Yeah, that's the bad part about being pregnant...like I said, I was nauseous just this morning! Some days I just don't feel great. Sometimes it is really difficult to tell if I'm pregnancy sick or sick sick lol

 

[wavescrash]

Amanda . Hope you're feeling ok. I bet you're ready to meet the little lady now. Im loving the stroller.

Thanks dear. She's been particularly low today but seems to have moved a little during my nap. My cervix was nearly completely forward before my nap but I think that's just because of how low she was. I'm super curious to see what my OB has to say about it tomorrow.

I'm so excited to get the stroller lol.

 

[SmallTownGal]

Thanks, Sandy! And I'm glad all turned out to be well at your doc appointment!! Sorry you had to go through a scare!

Wow, Britt, that's odd with your SIL giving you all boy clothes and most 2T, at that! If there's nothing you want to use for your girl in there, I say sell it or donate it. Or you could mix it with some girly pieces (put the boy bottoms with girl tops and the boy tops with girl bottoms).

Wow, getting close to your due date, Waves! The Sit N' Stand stroller looks nice!

Julie, glad you were able to work something out with your mom coming later. Hope you feel better soon (it's probably just a vena cava thing)! Great bump pics!

Kara, I think trying a new trainer and asking advice from the vet and trying extra exercise for the dog sounds like a good idea, too. And/or doggie daycare! I hope you are able to work something out!

FX'd for you, Katrina!

Hope you feel better soon, too, Morgan!

Britt, sorry the name Harper looks to be a no go. FX'd you find another name to fall in love with soon, that you can get your DH to agree on!

AFM: DH dug out some lounge pants that are a bit too small for him, for me to wear as maternity pants, yesterday. I now wear a man's size XL So, I definitely have something to shop for proper maternity pants in. DH's pants are so comfy, they will be hard to beat for comfort, though. If I can't find maternity pants as comfy, they may only be used for when I have to dress a bit nicer.

My MIL offered to go look for some XL women's pants for me, since she was heading off to a sale, so maybe I'll have some more, as well. We'll see if she finds something.

Today, I made a "Due in October" banner for my siggy. I think it turned out pretty cute. :3 Anyone who wants, feel free to snag it and use it.

I just noticed that my baby went from poppy seed to apple seed, today, yay! I can't wait till my first scan!

 

[jury3]

STG-When is your scan again? I have maternity jeans and had 2 pairs of maternity pants for work. Other than that all I've been wearing are sweats or yoga type pants. Now that my belly is bigger, I can wear them under my belly and they still fit ok. I just bought a size bigger than I usually wear. Nothing beats comfy sweat pants and yoga pants!

Britt-I agree about maybe just giving the name thing a break for a bit. Maybe each of you come up with a list of favorites either separately or together. Then make a case for the ones you really like.
We had Sophie picked out as our girl's name, but I decided I didn't like it. I revisited our list and even added a few new ones. At first DW didn't like Olivia, but once I gave her time to think about it, it eventually grew on her. Now she really likes the idea of calling her Livi lol It was the same way when we named our dogs. We both agreed on Henry when we got him, but Hazel was more difficult. I wanted an old name since Henry is kind of an old name and wanted another H name. I picked Hazel and she hated it at first. Somehow it grew on her though...Now we can't believe we ever thought about a different name. I'm sure it's the same with small humans, right?! lol

 

[clynn11]

Britt- I agree with the names. Maybe if you just give him a little time to think everything over he'll decide he loves Harper, or one of you will discover a new name that you both adore!

AFM, I hit up that leggings deal today! Got 8 pairs for $20 total after shipping. Awesome deal! Thanks for the heads up ladies

I ordered mine a couple days ago and they shipped today. I'm so excited lol.

 

[Cowgirl07]

They are adorable. No more baby stuff for me though my little hope box is ful.

 

[frsttimemama]

Amanda, that stroller looks awesome!! Hope you get good news tomorrow.

Julie, wow what a drastic change! You look amazing though! Sorry you're feeling rough! Sounds like baby pressing on stuff like Morgan said.


Morgan, sorry you're feeling yucky, too!

Britt, sorry you're feeling yucky, too! Sorry you guys are kinda back to square one with name choosing. FX you guys figure it out soon.

Just saw this on facebook about 3.8 million Graco car seats that are being recalled:
https://www.wlwt.com/news/local-news/38-million-graco-car-seats-recalled/24413954

AFM, still just so relieved. And exhausted. Too much worrying/bad dreams and not enough sleep. Lol. My head is all stuffed up. I don't don't want to get sick before vacation!! Gonna hit up the Mucinex and Benadryl since I can't take anything good with my pregnant self. We're tryin to get stuff ready to go, but I've lost all motivation for the night. Ugh. Lol. I'll probably be in bed within the hour.
