TTC and Beyond!

[Cowgirl07]

Nikki that sucks this was the first year I got a refund.
Julie that's awesome about the pack and play.
I try to stay around and be supportive sometimes it's hard but usually not.

Katrina, your chart looks awesome! And by the way, LOOOVE your ticker!

 

[Ingodshand]

Britt- I love your rugs! So cute

Sandy- I am feeling okay. Been doing more training for my backups this week and just trying to get through the days.

Morgan- Can not believe you already lost some of your plug! She will be here so soon!

Rob made me so mad last night and I am so tired of my house being such a mess. He does a lot of the laundry and helps to pick up, but I like my house to look put together and I get very anxious when stuff if all over the place. We also had tacos last night which I was really excited about but something on my taco was burning my mouth. He asked if I was okay a few times and when I didn't get better he just rolled his eyes at me. I then picked up my taco, called him a jerk, threw it at him and ran upstairs crying. I know it is just my hormones, stress and being scared of birth, but then he wanted me to apologize. Whatever, he was being so mean! I am still fuming!

 

[frsttimemama]

Ugh sooo frustrating! They just don't get it sometimes! Mine is awful and it's getting cleaned tonight! ! When it's messy, it stresses me out, and I cannot relax!

Should this be an abdominal ultrasound?

 

[wavescrash]

12 weeks... is it your NT scan? It should be abdominal by now


Hannah's coming home tonight. I'm so excited to see her and anxious about how we're going to handle the 2 of them but fortunately Leah slept great last night (fed her at midnight & then went to bed, woke up for a bottle at 4am and then back to sleep until 8:30) so as long as she continues this trend, it should be okay. Just nervous about the day time because Leah tends to sleep all day long between feedings and Hannah is a little tornado lol. Autumn's spending the night tomorrow night so we'll have all 3 which should be even crazier! I should probably get the living room cleaned up though. Haven't done anything aside from a few dishes since coming home from the hospital lol.

 

[RobertRedford]

Super quiet day at work. my boss just said that if it stays quiet, we can leave at noon today (5 hours early! yipeeee!) and its friday, AND payday!

SO hungry, I am having the craziest cravings today. Olives, a breakfast sandwhich, or devilled eggs. yup. I told you they were weird!

Nikki, boo for owing taxes. darn irs.

katrina, yay for getting a refund. I am still waiting for mine! I'm extremely hopeful for you this month, just have a really good feeling!

Ashlee, I love the crib! Its so pretty and girly! and it converts to a toddler bed?

your thoughts-- Going to the lake house tonight but I'm supposed to get my beta's done tomorrow am and there isn't a lab near the lake house. should i go tonight after work (30ish hours after the last draw?) or wait until monday?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Sandy I think it would be abdominal.
Amanda it's up to you and your Dr. I would see what they say.
I'm not super confident this week hasn't been the greatest but hopefully next week will be better.

 

[Ingodshand]

Yeah I just wish I could do it all myself, but my back is killing me!

It should be abdominal!! Can not wait to see pics!

 

[Ingodshand]

Amanda- I would just wait for Monday. Then you will have a nice big jump!!

Katrina- It's the weekend!!! I hope next week is better for you

 

[morganwhite7]

Amanda- I would also wait til Monday... you KNOW you're preggo and that it's a sticky babe.. I would just go Monday to see those suuuuuupa high levels

Sarah- LOL @ throwing the taco!!! Sounds like something I'd do.. Hahaha I have reached the "crybaby" stage where everything he does (and DOESN'T) do makes me cry. Sex is hard, I feel ugly and frequently give up and say "hmmph, you hate me and I'm fat, I'm done " but really I just want him to say "you're beautiful". Like I expect him to read my mind and if he doesn't, all hell breaks loose. I am so ready to feel normal again. Oh and I wish he'd put his STUPID DISHES into the DISHWASHER... instead of not rinsing them and putting them into the sink for me to rinse/load. Haha we had a brawl over that lastnight too. Lolol

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks ladies! That's what I am thinking too, but I didn't have an NST last time.

 

[RobertRedford]

Sarah, I missed the taco story. Sorry it was so frustrating, but lol at you throwing the taco at him!

Thanks ladies, I will wait until Monday. the stupid doctor will have a freak out over it but she can deal. i dont like her.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Hi ladies!

Lol at throwing the taco. I can just picture it - lettuce and cheese flying around then stomping upstairs. Lmao. Sounds like one of my hormonal moments.

There is a baby in the next room that just screams and screams. It's so loud. I feel bad for it but I think I feel worse for the mom.

We are getting closer to going home. They think sometime next week. She has been breast feeding for 15-20 min at a time, every feeding since 10pm last night. We tried a bottle yesterday with formula and she wasn't a fan. Tried a bottle today with breast milk and she went to town. Doc said if she continues to do this well they will stop the tube feeds instead of cutting them in half. I really hope she does bc then we can get the tube out of her nose

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Sarah - I too and LOLing at the thought of a flying taco!!! DH and I have been fighting too over seemingly dumb stuff. It's got to be hormones!

Morgon - DH and I are barely DTD. He just stopped acting interested. I was really concerned at first, because he's always been very vocal about needing/wanting BD, but i've asked him several times, and he says he's fine. Hmm. Not sure what to think. Sometimes I think it's because we are having a girl and now that kicks and moves all the time, he's just weirded out by it. Plus, i'm just not interested. Still, part of it bothers me.. like i'm fat and ugly now.

RR- I agree.. Go have a good weekend and go monday when you get back! You are fine!

Rachel- So glad to hear that Ellie is getting better and better and that she will be going home very soon! I bet you guys can't wait.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Rachel so glad to hear Ellie is doing so well!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Go ellie your doing so awesome

 

[Ingodshand]

Amanda- I would also wait til Monday... you KNOW you're preggo and that it's a sticky babe.. I would just go Monday to see those suuuuuupa high levels

YES!! The dishwasher drives me crazy too. Like really, just bend over and put them in the dang thing instead of getting crusty in the sink!

 

[RobertRedford]

Rachel, that is GREAT news! I can't wait for you all to go home!

Britt, sorry you and hubs arent DTD that often. I wouldn't worry too much. Pregnancy brings on a lot of changes and it can be hard on daddy to be's, whether they vocalize it or not.

Any good suggestions for prentals? The one I am taking is seriously the size of a horse pill and I can't swallow it. im not that great at taking pills to begin with, either. My prenatal dha is a small gel capsule that is really easy to take, i just need a good all aorund prenatal vitamin.

 

[wavescrash]

Rachel - That's great news. So exciting, go Ellie!

Apparently there was a miscommunication and Autumn is spending the night tonight, not tomorrow night. I was hoping to ease into it with just Hannah the first night since she's a total handful but oh well. I also have a nasty headache so I'm just not looking forward to having a house full of people making noise lol.

I need to get the apartment cleaned up a little more before Hannah gets home and I just can't fight this headache. I also need to call my insurance company and add Leah to it so she has coverage for the frequency of upcoming appointments until we get Medicaid applied for. Speaking of which, I need to apply for Medicaid. I just don't have the energy to do anything. And I need to let the company that deals with my LOA know the baby was born. I've intended on doing it all every single day this week and then before I know it, it's evening and too late to call anyone. Here's hoping I find the energy on Monday.

RR- I take a gummy! I took the big horse pills before I got pregnant with no issues, but the iron in them start making me really sick. Now, I take the gummies with an iron supplement. I just take the target brand gummy prenatal.
