TTC and Beyond!

[goldstns]

Waves- awesome opportunity! Hope she pics u.

cassidy- congrats

I hated ttc sex and preggo sex. So it had been like 2 years of bad sex! But last night blew my mind. It was like the sex i had when we first ever had sex together... Very passionate and lusting. It was awesome...and super long lasting.for those asking earlier this week, dh said I'm still tight.

 

[frsttimemama]

Congratulations Cassidy! So exciting!!

With all these girls, I'm definitely feeling like I am statistically having a boy, but I feel like I'm having a girl, although this pregnancy seems pretty much identical to the last one.. so I guess we will see in May.

Waves, what an awesome photo opportunity! ! Yay!

Nikki, I can't wait for regular, plain old not pregnant, not TTC sex, too! Its been since December of 2011 for us.. glad it was awesome!

Kara- My belly hasn't gotten too big where it's in the way of many positions yet so I can't help you there :/ Maybe have a nice foreplay, makeout session before finishing with DTD??? Lol

Amanda- I saw that!!! That would be sooo awesome, her pictures are BEAUTIFUL. And Leah is gonna be gorgeous so I guarantee she'd want to make her one of her regular models then you get free bows and pictures all the time!!! Lol

Sarah- Glad vacay was great but sorry you came home with a cold. How have you been feeling besides that?? Baby showers are so much fun, how exciting!

I really cannot believe just how many little girlies are in this thread. It's blowing my mind! I had myself convinced of a boy because of statistics!!! Lol

Thanks!! I have been feeling okay, but really over being pregnant! My ankles started swelling this week so I am trying to walk more and keep them elevated when sitting. Work has picked up recently so that is really not cool. I think my boss is trying to get all this stuff done before I go out and it is really tiring me out!

 

[Ingodshand]

STG- Congrats on the great scan!! So exciting that you got to see the heartbeat!

 

[HWPG]

I think I'm the next to find out gender (3/13) and I'm leaning towards boy - but we've been fooled before on this thread!
Stg, congrats!

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks ladies. She said she's going to be replying to emails this weekend so we shall see.

During one of my many bathroom trips last night, there was a little pink-streaky mucus. It was just the one time but still... it's something lol. And then I had this really screwed up, weird dream which I haven't had any of this whole pregnancy so I'm just going to pretend it's a hormonal surge leading up to labor lol. I also feel a little... different today but it could just be a fluke thing. It probably is nothing at all but it'll help pass the time if I pretend I'm on the lookout for labor lol. But I feel a little more... I don't know, giddy/jumpy/hormonal today. I don't know how to explain it. OH & I are going to spend the weekend completely and 100% cleaning the apartment and finishing unpacking everything. We've been so lazy about it.

Tomorrow night Hannah's going to my mom's house because Tyler starts his new job first thing Monday morning but I also have another biophysical profile scheduled for Monday morning so I have to take him to work and then go to my appointment, pick Hannah up afterward and come back home until it's time to get him after work. I have another biophysical profile scan on Friday morning with my weekly OB appointment that afternoon and assuming I'm still pregnant, another biophysical profile scan on Monday the 3rd.

Mirolee, I'm a little jealous My doc absolutely won't do the anatomy scan until 2018-20 weeks because they aren't 100% developed to check all that stuff she feels like so that's 1stthe week of May. It's ok though. I've accepted it. Lol.

Sorry you're so tired Sarah!

What a busy weekend Amanda!

 

[goldstns]

Stg- congrats girl! So glad everything is healthy!!

well Alia apparently thought sleeping last night was optional!

 

[clynn11]

Awe Sorry Alia didn't sleep much last night Nikki

AFM, we just ordered Zuri's crib set!!! I wanted to order it because it was on sale and almost sold out. So i'm excited! Probably will be one of the only things we have to purchase ourselves as both of our families are SO HUGE i'm going to have like 3 baby showers at least! Lol

 

[frsttimemama]

Sorry Nikki! Hope you can get a nap!

So cute Cassidy! I love it. I really like white. Ours is a cherry because it matched better, and I like it, too.. but white is my favorite

We finally made it home to snowy, flooded, snowing Indiana. Iit was so good to shower in my own shower! We got groceries and the dog. Now I'm headed home to my 10,000 loads of laundry. I can't wait to grill chicken and zuchinni for supper, too. I like to go out for dinner, but I am over it after being on the road/vacation for 10 days. Lol

Sandy, I also am having to wait until twenty weeks. Meh, we want to know, but we don't know now, so all it changes is the color of stuff on the registry. We don't even have a name nailed down, just some options, so it will be neat to say he/she or daughter/son, but I'm going to enjoy the last few weeks of not knowing.
I'm also enjoying the bumps and movements, although I haven't felt as many today. I just drank a huge glass of juice and I'm sitting for about ten more minutes, but I know I'm still in that sometimes you feel it, sometimes you don't stage.
Basically, after finally falling asleep last night and having a busy day, I'm sitting on the couch perfectly content before having to start making dinner.

Nikki, glad the sex was good. Gives all of us preggos and not preggo a hope for the future

During my last pregnancy I asked when a gender scan would be scheduled or when I could find out the gender and the MW said "Birth" I laughed and she said "seriously, we don't do anatomy scans here".

Cassidy, I love the bedding. PB anything is gorgeous did you get that crib, as well? I love white cribs!

Quiet day here, I'm on a serious cleaning kick. I just scrubbed all my walls and all the cabinets, bathrooms are next! Cleaning is serious therapy for me. So lovely.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!!

 

[clynn11]

We didn't get that crib. My mom has a 3 in 1 cherry wood crib that is in great condition, we're gonna sand it down and paint it white

 

[frsttimemama]

Oh I misunderstood. Sorry! That bedding is adorable though!

Mirolee, I'm with you. I'm ok not knowing for awhile, just as long as he or she is healthy.Speaking of scans, I really wish I could scan at home yntil I can feel movements and know everything is ok in there. I'm so scared all the time. Crazy me.

Amanda, I would have to find a new midwife. You better scan my kid and make sure everything is ok, even without finding out gender. I need your energy to clean my house like that! I'm pooped!

I forgot to mention earlier that I had been afraid to get on the scale after being gone, but I did.. and I haven't gained anything. Yay! I actually lost 2 pounds (double yay!), but my jeans wont button comfortably anymore. And I have no fat jeans.

 

[goldstns]

Ugh. Guess I'm learning what the word mom really means! " means you always get the baby unless it fits into my schedule" and here I am ... Super nice...wanting to give everyone a chance with her, even when it doesn't fit my schedule! So last night she didnt sleep. Maybe i got 6 hr of broken sleep. So in the morning I asked dh to take her...well he decided to sleep .... So I kept her. I understand he wanted to fix our car today cuz one of our cars r down. Then I texted mil to see if she could watch Alia from 3-5pm, since she was saying she wanted to see her. Therefore I can just nap for a bit. Well I said 3-5 cuz I had plans before and after. And my fil and mil were talking bout coming over to help dh w car. Anyways, 4 pm came and still no mil. She finally showed up. Mil took Alia out of her crib, which she was happily, quietly resting. Well Alia cried for 30 min cuz she was so exhausted and just wanted to sleep and of course I hear it all and can't sleep. So now I have 30 min to rest. Dh made no effort to calm Alia and help his mom....knowing I ONLY asked for 1 hr to nap. So now its 430, I'm beat and might as well get up and start getting ready for my work banquet tonight.

 

[frsttimemama]

That's SO frustrating! ! I'm really sorry. Hope your banquet goes well and Alia sleeps well tonight so you can, too! Can you make a rule about getting her up when she's asleep or quiet like that? Will that help? I wiil probably have to do that since my MIL lives next door and my SIL next door to her. I think having family that close will be good though. I hope!

 

[clynn11]

I'm sorry Nikki, that sucks Tell DH that you need some quiet and sleep time too!!!!

 

[Cowgirl07]

How frustrating!

 

[Ingodshand]

So sorry Nikki! It is very enlightening when you have a newborn and how the DH reachts especially when you are breastfeeding. Your whole life has changed but not as much for them since they are not totally attached to the baby. Maybe you can try to pump before bed so he can take a feeding?? I hope you get some sleep tonight!!

I am so excited that we got the pictures back from our maternity session. These are in our backyard and I am very happy with how they came out!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Awesome photos!! Love your little girls outfits!
