TTC and Beyond!

[wavescrash]

I'm thinking it would be nice if Leah held off until after midnight anyway because then the girl's birthdays would follow a pattern lol. Autumn was born the 26th, Hannah the 27th so Leah can be born the 28th Both Autumn & Hannah were born the month before their due date so if Leah were born tomorrow, she'd still be born the month before her due date and would follow suit.

But we'll see what happens. I've got 2 hours until OH gets home and we ship Hannah off my to mom's house.

Mirolee- I know what you mean. I have no idea how we are going to afford a baby! LOL. Between the two of us, we make decent money,but we both pay on cars, and have other bills. I'm not sure how in the hell we are going to pay for daycare and all these expenses. Everyone always says "it'll all work out!!" but that doesn't always make me feel better!

Mirolee- Ttly normal to feel that way.. Even after wanting it so bad for so long. I think it's only natural to have those thoughts, a baby is a huge life change. I have been having recurring dreams where I'm constantly running from something and trying to protect Marley.. (Usually from zombies or men with guns LOL). It's just our bodies way of preparing us mentally I think!

AFM- I've been trying to not mention anything on here just to be safe.. But can't take it anymore. Tomorrow morning is DH's hearing/sentencing. I am so nervous.. I've got to speak in front of everyone (since I am the "victim"), basically just talk about how he's punished enough every morning when he has to wake up and face reality. That I need him with us, since our baby girl will be here in a little over a month. Ergh.. If (those of you who pray) could pray for us I'd really appreciate it.. I know it'll be alright, it's just sick and twisted that I'm going to court tomorrow "against my son". And being 8 months pregnant just makes it that much harder. I wish they would have gotten this crap over with months ago. I'm ready to be able to sleep at night knowing everything is going to be alright.

P.s. California Girls- you all okay with that storm/flood??

Waves- I hope she comes soon!!!

 

[frsttimemama]

To be honest, I feel VERY out of control. Of this pregnancy, GD, and life in general! I'm going to do some reading tonight on it and maybe I will feel a little better.

Katrina, any word?

Mirolee, me too!

Morgan, you all are definitely in my prayers.

sending you good thoughts, Miss! Are you required to testify? as their spouse (at least in CA) you aren't required/obligated to testify if you don't want to. You can only testify on their behalf if you want to.

 

[morganwhite7]

Yeah I could choose not to but that would only hurt him.. Attorney says I should make all the difference. We already have a great plea bargain, just hoping my words and huge belly convince the judge to accept it. I think it should be fine, just so dang scary and unsettling to even be in this situation.

Sandy- I'm so sorry you have to worry about this GD nonsense on top of your other fears.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Morgan- my thoughts and prayers are with you and your little family. You have an amazing way of speaking and telling your story here, I'm sure you won't have any problem capturing the attention and the hearts of your audience. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this-you are strong beyond words mama. Everything will be ok. Xo

 

[frsttimemama]

What Kara said!!

And yes, Morgan, I think that's why I'm EXTRA freaked! Hubby has already been reading up on it though. Now my turn if I can stay awake to do it. Lol

 

[RobertRedford]

Huge hugs Morgan! I'll keep you in my thoughts!

CA storms have been bearable so far. Nothing bad. We had about an hour of bad rain/ thunder last night and everyone freaked out. Californians freak over the smallest things.

 

[HWPG]

Morgan, will be praying!
Thanks for all the support. I think it comes in waves of reality - like, right now, it's just 'the future', not a tangible reality. I look at the 'nursery' and think "impossible". I'm gonna try to do some things this weekend to make me feel like I have a little something unde control, even if it's just going thru all my magazines and throwing them away - seriously, how many articles on 'how to get a round butt' do I need? Small steps towards a big goal. Plus, OH is gone the majority of the next eight days (only home one day) so I'll be able to get some tasks accomplished.

 

[frsttimemama]

So I was googling this, and it made me feel worse! GD during first trimester increases your risk of stillbirth, miscarriage, and birth defects mainly of the brain and heart. I am practically beside myself right now. Seriously?!

 

[Cowgirl07]

They called. Hsg will cost 945. They are going to try to schedule it for next Thursday or Friday. So Fx for them confirming an appointment tomorrow.

 

[HWPG]

Sandy, I can't imagine... But knowledge is power. You can control this and they diagnosed you early, and your drs will be watching you carefully. Things can still be ok.
K, yay! Hsg are weird but neat. I 'enjoyed' mine because I to answers, and we so rarely get a glimpse inside our bodies!

 

[Lotalaughs16]

Rachel, OMG just stay home and relax mama you've had one rough day!

Mirolee, totally normal to feel that way...like the other ladies said baby=huge life change and with that comes anxiety about what is going to change...Everything will work out!

Morgan, definitely in my prayers...and I'll ask hubs to pray for you guys too. Stay strong!

Mirolee...lol about the articles on how to get a rounded butt

Great news Katrina...on the road to answers!

AFM...here are some pup pics! I still dont know how to rotate them...sorry

 

[Lotalaughs16]

Sandy, sorry about GD...you have a great support system here and nikki can coach you through it...I'm on myfitnesspal if you want to add me (i dont know if/how that would help but its all ive got lol)

 

[Cowgirl07]

love the puppy! My dog got a hair cut today. Yes she is wearing a shirt she was cold and actually let me put it on her.

 

[NDTaber9211]

Hey ladies, so we are all posting here now?

So I got a bit of a tmi situation. I'm on what I think is af but its super weird. I was super light spotting for a few days and now it's really dark brown and kinda.... I guess lumpy for lack of a better word. None of it's getting on my pad. Should I email my doctor or just see what happens? I thought it was becoming normal early but it went right back to strange. Part of me wants to test but I have no symptoms.

 

[goldstns]

Mirolee- I agree. I still freak out about Alia and money.

waves- GL...hope she comes tomorrow.

morgan- praying and thinking of u.

sandy- google is the devil....do t read it about gd!!

 

[clynn11]

Mirolee- It's totally natural to feel that way. I've had a few moments where i'm like, holy shit. I am going to be responsible for an entire human life. That is scary.

Nichole- is AF supposed to be here and just the brown spotting?? I say TEST!!! Lol. How have you been hun??

Loving the doggie pictures!!

Katrina- yikes, that's quite a bit, but it will all be worth it when you have answers to your questions!!

Sandy- I am sorry you have GD but I feel like catching it early will only help you in keeping it under control. DON'T GOOGLE. It always tells you the worst

Amanda (waves)- any more of those intense contractions?

Amanda (RR)- How many dpo do you think you are now??

 

[jury3]

Sandy-Stay off google! You and baby will be fine!

Morgan-It just sucks you guys have to go through that at all...I'll be thinking if you! If they tried to actually say he's guilty, they obviously have no souls. You guys have been through enough...

Katrina-yay! Can't wait for some answers

Nichole-sounds like it may just be a weird period. Has it lasted a normal amount of days? Maybe wait a few days and see what it does...

Idk what is up w my uterus today. Usually I don't get bh unless I've been up and about a lot. Today they've been happening here and there while I'm resting on the couch. Felt slightly crampy a few times, but nothing consistent. Hopefully it will be better tomorrow. I'm going to see my chiropractor and cashing in a massage I got for my bday...my moms coming in sat and I think we are going to get our nails done and look at fabric for some things she's making for the babies.

My MIL keeps bringing up daycare saying we need to talk about it. It's getting on my last nerve bc really all that needs to be discussed is whether or not she wants to watch them and how often...the rest is between DW and myself. We went over yesterday to get help w our taxes and she kept asking if the babies were moving or she'd just touch my belly. I really was not in the mood for being touched...sometimes I just want to smack her! Lol
Anyway, the money stresses made me think of that bc daycare stresses me out and I wish we could afford for me to ba a stay at home mom.
