TTC and Beyond!

[RobertRedford]

I just took the test apart and the strip was dented on the back. What ever I was seeing was because of that!

 

[goldstns]

Ugh...the joys of pumping....just broke my pumped bag of milk all over my jeans....now I get to smell like spoiled milk all day and I wasted my babies "gold"

 

[RobertRedford]

Oh no, Nikki! thats a bummer

 

[frsttimemama]

Sorry Amanda! Still FX for whatever outcome you're hoping for!

Nikki, that sounds HORRIBLE. Ugh!

 

[Ingodshand]

Rachel- Hope you guys are having a better day today! I have heard that it can help the baby, plus you will feel like you are doing something for her, to take a swap of fabric or small blanket and for you to lay with it so your scent gets on it. Then take the item and put it in with Ellie. She can then smell you and maybe get some comfort. It is so hard to have your baby away from you and I am sorry you are going through this. She will be with you before you know it!!

Nikki- Happy 2 months to both of you!!

Britt- Sorry you are having a tough time! Do not suffer through the heartburn, get some Tums or Zantac!!!

Morgan/Colette- Feeling better today and the BH have calmed down. Was just kind of scary since I could actually time them!

Mirolee- Yay for the great quad results, such a relief!!

Sandy- You are so close to a break! I say stay in your pj’s all day Saturday!!

Amanda- I don’t see anything on the test, but I am so excited for you!! I hope you have a nice line tomorrow!

OK girls is it possible tht i feel babys movements like muffled and not very prominent bcos im constipated ive kinda realised tht if ive been backed up for a couple of days then her movements feel a little restricted??? is this even possible or am i making up things in my head??

 

[frsttimemama]

I wish I could Sarah! We are going to be traveling home. Hubby has training 2.5 hours away. He wants me to go. So we are leaving at 1 Friday then staying there for the next class on Saturday. I am sleeping in though. Then my parents are bringing our dog home and coming over for pizza.

Makes sense to me, Sonia!

 

[jury3]

Julie not long for you either. Is it amanda, morgan then you ?

I think it's supposed to be Waves, Sarah, Kara, Morgan and then me. We'll see though bc especially w twins I figure anything could at this point! Avg twin birth is 35 weeks, so I at least hope I can make it to 35 or 36 weeks.

Sonia-That really sucks about the gd...I can't believe they are considering you gd with the one hour just 5 pts over. Seems a bit dramatic...

Mirolee-Lol about what you said to your boss, I would be red as well!

Sarah-Getting so close! Idk what contractions actually feel like, but I get the tightenings all the time. They start below my belly button and work their way up. Chug some water and lay down for a bit next time to see if they ease up.

Nikki-Yay for jogging and 2 months of bfing! However, that sucks about the milk spilling on your pants...I would be so ticked off!
The dryer thing freaks me out too. A neighbor down the street had their dryer catch on fire a few months back bc of too much lent. Luckily it wasn't bad. I am adding that to our list of to-dos before babies get here! lol
I've been thinking about waxing my pits and bikini area before babies come, but we'll see...I know I'm not gonna want or have time to shave.

bb-Yay for the digi! So exciting!

Rachel-I can't even imagine...That's one thing I'm super worried about if our twins come early. Hopefully she is better soon and you will get to hold her all you want.

Britt-I recommend you get some kind of maternity support belt. That will help with the belly getting hard when you are up moving around a lot. I keep tums by my bed and I take prescription pepcid. Without them I would probably die lol I really try to watch what I eat and drink, especially later in the day. Soda, spicy foods, etc before bed kill me.

Sandy-I'm sure hubby is right, you do seem to hold a lot of anxiety...I can't say that I blame you though. Definitely talk to your doctor about it. I know it's hard, but I hope you can find some kind of peace in this pregnancy and find a way to relax. We are here for you though

Waves-Holy cow! You are going to have a baby tomorrow!!! So excited!

 

[clynn11]

I see a faint something on it Amanda but can't tell color just yet. Looking forward to the next test!!! Lol.

Nikki congrats on 2 months of breastfeeding! That is awesome! Boo on your bag of milk bursting on you. That's no bueno.

Sorry that Tristan is suck BB

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks Julie. Holy cow indeed lol.

 

[morganwhite7]

^What in the world are you doing today Waves?? Do you feel like you're in a dream land?!?! Ohmygosh I'd be a nervous/anxious/excited mess!!! Lol. Just can't imagine getting out of bed and being productive when you have such a day (week.. month..!?!) ahead of you!!

 

[RobertRedford]

omg youre having a baby tomorrow, Waves!

 

[clynn11]

Seriously waves. I'd be freaking out at this moment if I were you!!! Lol. Awww i'm so excited I can't wait to see Leah's little face!!! I hope the C-section and recovery all go smoothly for both of you

Maybe she is turned towards your back? Not sure if the constipation would affect, but you never know!

Makes sense to me, Sonia!

Then you can sleep in the car and order room service!!

 

[Ingodshand]

Julie- Been resting today and have no had any more BH like last night. The weird thing is that I was sitting the whole time. I didn't really sleep the night before so I wonder if being tired can affect how often you get them??

Waves- Thinking of you!!!! Can't wait to see Leah!!

AFM- Just told my boss that my last day will be Friday 3/21. I am in the official off work countdown!! 12 days to go

 

[jury3]

Sarah-I'm sure it can. I had my first sitting down ones the other day. Usually they only happen when I'm up doing things. I've always read to try a different position. So if standing, sit down. If sitting, try laying down. Mine haven't been close enough or regular enough to ever worry though. Sometimes just emptying my bladder helps too. This part of pregnancy is so annoying lol It's like ttc all over again, paying attention to every little twitch and twinge and wondering if it means anything lol
Yay for the no work countdown! I love not working right now, it's going to be so hard to go back...I already have anxiety about it!

 

[Kiamaria83]

Good luck for tomorrow amanda, I hope all goes smoothly.
Glad you're feeling a bit better sarah.
Amanda I see a hint of something to, it looks similar to how my frer looked . Eeek fx for you.
Britt sounds uncomfortable, get plenty of rest.
How long are you guys planning on being on maternity leave ?
I think we are def going to make an offer on the house. A little scared as it will really push us and with me having a year off work as from oct it worries me. We will also have 2 kids in childcare for 4 days. But I guess its worth it for our dream house ?

 

[goldstns]

Thinking of u and Leah, waves!!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Rachel sorry she had a rough day! She is a Great little fighter.
Amanda I don't see anything on the tests sorry.
Leah will be here so soon. She is going to be adorable.
Afm worked today, feel kinda crampy. I'm pretty sure my bbt thermometer is broken my temp was 95 this morning.
