TTC and Beyond!

[RobertRedford]

Holy shit, we might not actually. I just went on the website and it says that the $75 3D is only until 20 weeks. It would be $140 for us to do it

dude that sucks. why does the price nearly double? I hope you can find a way to see her!

Amanda, I would call just to be safe.

Julie and Rachel, where are you?

 

[wavescrash]

Amanda- Holy crap, Leah is going to be here SO SOON!!!!!!! WTF. I know when it's at that point in my pregnancy i'm going to be shitting myself lol.

I mean realistically, it's not that far away. It's NEXT WEEK (and yes, I think I pooped myself when I double-checked the calendar to make sure it's next week and realized it actually is...) which is so close. I only have 1 more weekend newborn-free (unless she comes on her own) but at the same time it still feels SO SO far away so I'm kind of still in denial about it lol.

Yeah Ash, the price jumps up sooooo much after 20 weeks!!! I don't think we'll get another one done although i'd really love to around 28ish weeks.

I know! It's ridiculous! I hope we can find a cheaper way to see her

At least you'll get to see Zuri again in 2D at 24 weeks. That makes me feel a little better if I don't see Lux in 3D lol

Waves - I'd worry if you have blurry vision and a headache. Mine is 90/60 always...has been 130s/80s for the last week. Don't think the doc is concerned. The concern would be if you are spilling protein but you wouldn't know that unless you went to the doc. Do whatever you feel is right

So last night it felt like Ellie was fighting a bear in my uterus. Thought for sure she flipped breech or something bc my belly looked funny up until I got to work and the lower part of my belly is squishier now than it has been for months. Well Im pretty sure she's dropped or engaged or something. I feel like I am sitting on her head. And my belly is definitely lower. I've had contractions since about 2pm that take my breath away and I have rectal and vaginal pressure with each one. A little back pain too. I left work early so I could come home and put my feet up. I have contractions daily but these are definitely different. I have never had the vaginal pressure before. And they are painful. I'm not sure what to do. I guess if they aren't better in a few hours then I will call the on call OB. I just don't want to jump to any conclusions prematurely.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Ellie you need to cook longer, plus I need to finish your blanket and quit procrastinating so you can't come yet.

 

[TTCaWee1]

I hope she listens Katrina. I'd like to make it to at least 36 weeks although realistically, I don't think thats going to happen. Im so big and swollen and uncomfortable. I give myself 2 weeks...3 weeks tops.

 

[Cowgirl07]

I will try to get it done then. To be honest I didn't even want to look at baby fabric the last few weeks. I hope you guys understand. I get my sewing table back this week and will get rolling on them.

 

[clynn11]

Omg just had my first overly-hormonal pregnant reaction to a ridiculous situation lmao. Seriously. I’m ashamed to be typing this. My husband is cooking our fam dinner and called me and told me he was cooking shrimp scampi, mashed potatoes, fried mushrooms, and stuffed jalapenos. Such a random combination and I don’t like fried mushrooms… but was SUPER STOKED for the rest. And then he comes home and he got red potatoes -____- Even though he KNOWS I do not like them.
Yes, this is pathetic. I am literally upset and tearing up over red potatoes. He KNOWS I don’t like them, why couldn’t he just get regular fucking potatoes?!?!? He even told his step-dad, "See I knew she'd be mad, she doesn't like them." SO WTF!?!?! I’m laughing and crying at myself right now. WTF HORMONES is all I can say, lmfao.

Katrina, I think I speak for everyone on this thread by saying no worries and take your time. There is no pressure and it is the thought that counts, regardless of the delivery date of the gift. You are so thoughtful to be doing this as it is, please don't stress about it. We understand completely. Huge hugs.

 

[jury3]

Katrina-so they are referring you to a fertility specialist? Have they said anything else? Do you have an apt?

Ashlee-I wanted to do a 3d also but even w a discount bc we did one earlier it's still over $100. We are too poor for that lol
That's awesome about you guys winning money though! You could use that for it

Waves and Rachel-I always say call just to be sure. Preeclampsia isn't something to mess around with (for waves). Rachel are you timing them?

Sarah-love the pictures!

I've been reading but not responding. Sorry if I miss anyone. I woke up w a headache. Took Tylenol, took a small nap and it's still there. Gonna drink a soda and take more Tylenol. If it doesn't go away after that I'll call my doc. Im not swollen anymore than normal. I do have a pain in my right rib but I've assumed it was Grayson moving up there. It was bad last night and kind of today. I really hope it isn't preeclampsia related...30 weeks is too early!

 

[HWPG]

Cass , be it hormones or not, this has totally happened to me before. OH used my towel after his shower. Tears. Over a towel. Ha, aren't we funny?!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Cassidy. I'm not pregnant and gone crazy when Dh got the wrong kind of chocolate.
No they are calling me Wednesday to schedule my hsg. I am trying not to stress about it. Even drs can have vacations. Dh sa results are in the mail. So we may have them tomorrow.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Rachel- oh my!! Are you timing them at all?? I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy!

Julie- I'm sorry you're feeling crappy too Hun!! if the headache won't go away please call! My doc mention Right Upper Quadrant pain when I was there for the pre eclampsia check. Better to be safe and just have then do a quick bp check!! Feel better momma!

Katrina- no worries! It's so sweet of you to even think of it!

Cass- I LOL'd- I'm sorry but I totally get this! Haha there's been a couple of times I've cried and laughed hysterically at myself bc im like WTF is going on?!?...especially over food!! Lol, he should know better!!

 

[wavescrash]

I wound up calling and going to L&D for an NST and bp check. Everything was normal. Bp was lower than it usually is. Totally don't get it but I can't complain lol. I'm just so over it - go to L&D and everything is always "normal." So hopefully I don't wind up back there before my csection date. At this point I'll wind up having contractions and ignoring them because head likely just disappear before I got to the hospital anyway. But then again I'm pretty sure she's not budging until the 6th anyway.

 

[clynn11]

Well it's good that everything was normal Amanda!!

Rachel- I hope the pain lets up Ellie needs to cook longer!!!

Julie I'm sorry you're not feeling good either

Can't wait to see the SA results Katrina! I'm sure the HSG will go smoothly And I agree, we all understand if that stuff is a little too much to deal with right now. You're not obligated to make anything!!

Thanks for your guys' hormone stories, makes me not feel so crazy lol

This just threw me for a loop. Zuri is going to get a new cousin at only a few weeks old!!! I’m gonna be an Auntie again!! My 18 year old sister just told us she’s pregnant, Due August 22nd (Zuri is due August 1st). She's over 14 weeks but was too scared to tell any of us. I’m excited, but worried for her as well. She still lives with my parents and has only been with her boyfriend for 6 months :/ I know it’s going to be hard, but she is lucky to have the most supportive family around her. My little sister is going to be a mommy. That’s insane.

 

[asmcsm]

LOL Cassidy! I love red potatoes! I get disappointed when DH gets the brown ones! Hahaha hormones make us act crazy for sure. I'm so jealous though, that's all sounds so yummy.

Julie, I know! It's so expensive! I would use it for that but we're actually gonna see about moving into a different house that has lower rent and is actually only a few blocks from Cassidy! Lol

 

[asmcsm]

Actually we're having mashed potatoes tonight too and all we have are brown ones lol
