TTC and Beyond!

[wavescrash]

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.

I could only take the gummy ones because regular prenatals made me throw up, no matter which ones I took. The only difference with the gummies is that you have to take 2 at a time as opposed to just 1.

i also take gummy prenatals.
re: crying - omg this morning on the way to work i was a mess! i was sad because "we're having a boy and i love my my nephew and how can i love another boy as much as him and i'm so scared that i wont and that my family wont and do you love him already (to OH)?" - and then "why are you yelling at me (to OH)?" - him: "i'm not, i'm yelling at the other stupid drivers!" - me: "but the other drivers arent in the car and youre shouting and it feels like you're shouting at me and people in the other cars think we are fighting" (tears running down my face). i even tried to stop them, like think happy thoughts, but they just keep flowing. i felt ridiculous.
work was/is busy. since i'm flying out on sunday, i have to get all my shit done today and things tied up for next week. we went out to lunch (dim sum, omg, yum!) and that was great. and tonight we are staying in just with each other so i can get all the smothering and loving i need before being away for a week.
i am packing workout clothes and my bathing suit next week - i'll post a bump pic from the pool, even if it's not warm enough! hehe.

Things are crazy at work today so making this quick lol

Thanks ladies! I love the crib too! I can't wait to do more to her room. Need to start sewing the curtains and sheets, etc...been procrastinating whoops!

Amanda, the crib converts to a toddler bed, day bed and a full bed! The sides become a headboard and footboard and we'd just have to buy rails. Also, I take the gummy prenatals as well. After a while I just couldn't swallow those horse pills. I'll admit, I went probably 4 weeks without taking them because I was still puking and ran out and just didn't get any more... but I've been taking them daily again

Ohhh and I ordered my carseat Was $128 after tax as opposed to the usual $149 plus tax

I take the Walmart prenatals. Spring Valley or something. I haven't been sick from them, but I take them at night before I go to bed.

Ultrasound was good. Baby looks great. Everything looks normal. Should have results Monday or Tuesday, buy I'm not really worried about it. We got to see him/her for about 30 minutes , even in 3D & 4D! She always does. Can't see lots with those yet. My placenta is anterior and posterior wrapping along the left side. I will get a picture up soon. Oh yeah, and it was abdominal AND transvaginal. Measuring between 12+0 and 12+4. Such a great feeling, although a little bittersweet. He/she has their brother's nose and toes we think. And their hands in front of their face like their brother almost always did. We could not see a nub so no guessing there. Hubby says girl because the HR was 165. I'm unsure. We'll see!

[Cowgirl07]

Great news Sandy
Morgan sounds delicious I'm so tired i might not stay up for supper.

 

[asmcsm]

Omg you guys are making me so hungry!

So glad everything went well at your apt sandy!

 

[goldstns]

Omg...rocking my baby to sleep on a Friday night is way better then any party or bar (things I used to do on the weekends)

 

[morganwhite7]

Awww Nicki that's so sweet.. I just can't wait!!

It was delish, now time for bed, falling asleep with my eyes open.. Lol

 

[frsttimemama]

Aww Nikki! It is really amazing how our lives can change so muc and we can love it so much!

Thanks! It's a huge relief! We stopped at a fish fry to benefit a local youth group. Then I promptly dell asleep on the couch. For a couple hours. Ha. Now I'm ready for bed. Another night on the couch keeping an eye on Hubby. I can't wait for him to feel better. She started our DVD of scans today. Love having all my scans on DVD!

Ps I can't get my picture to upload. I'll try again tomorrow. Sorry!

So Hannah's home for the weekend (going back to my mom's during the day next week since I still can't lift her) and Autumn's also spending the night tonight. OH worked until 7pm, had to pick up the girls from my mom's house and stop at the store since we haven't been grocery shopping in nearly 2 weeks. Needless to say it was nearly 9pm by the time they got in the door and a little settled in.

Hannah was overtired (9pm is her usual bedtime and her schedule is totally off from being with my mom all week) and when she's overtired, she's a total hellion. She ran around like crazy, made a huge mess within minutes (which is normal lol) and was climbing on the furniture despite being told not to and taken off said furniture a million times. I was about ready to lose my mind lol. THEN I was feeding Leah a bottle but had her sitting up to burp her. Hannah was trying to be nice and cover her with a swaddle blanket and somehow stumbled and headbutted the baby. Leah immediately started crying and Hannah felt guilty and tried burrowing herself into my lap.

Autumn's been doing an okay job at helping us with Hannah but decided that she would rather look through the new books we bought for Hannah a few weeks ago instead of keeping an eye on Hannah while Tyler took care of stuff & I had the baby.

Fortunately, Hannah went down for bed pretty easily. Leah's due to eat in a half hour (midnight my time) and then the rest of us are going to bed for the night. Here's hoping tomorrow's a better/easier day once Hannah's had a good night's sleep lol.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Nikki I 100% agree!

Sandy that's great news!

Urgh, so we decided I wouldn't go back on BC because it's taken so long for my body to regulate. We decided on the condom route. Has anyone else had problems with them? I hate them. They make me sore! Looks like we are going to end up playing with fire and using the pull out method!

 

[Ingodshand]

Waves- hope the girls are sleeping for you tonight and tomorrow is another day!!

Bb- not sure on the condoms but I used to get some irritation from them. Hopefully it gets better!

I cannot sleep! Been having period like cramps since about 5 last night. They do not seem like anything that I can time but so uncomfortable. Sunday is a full moon so here's to hoping!

 

[frsttimemama]

Bb, I don't see anything wrong with that. I probably wouldn't even have done that. Ha. Fx for answers soon!

Sarah, hopes they either stop or make something happen!

Afm, I am a bum. I fell asleep on the couch for a couple hours last night, woke up about 1030 and had a snack then back to sleep. Hubby has been on the phone all morning though so I will probably nap some more and then work this afternoon. Hubby has to work a 12 hour midnight shift tonight so I will probably spend my Saturday night cleaning and doing laundry. Exciting right? I will be so glad to get some cleaning done though!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Amanda waves oh poor Leah. Lol Hannah will get better, I guess I carried my sister around by her head when I was little.
Nikki that sounds awesome.
Bb I don't like condoms much, is there certain kinds you like?
Sarah hope the full moon means something
Afm nothing to exciting happened yesterday thank goodness. I have to fence today and Dh is going on a road trip.

 

[brunettebimbo]

No none

 

[RobertRedford]

Awww Nikki, that's so sweet!!

Bb, I'm not a condom fan so I'm not much help.

I woke up this morning b.l.o.a.t.e.d! 4w5d bloat. Crazy. Ignore my pjs and messy bathroom. The guest bathroom doesn't get as much love as it should and it's a lazy Saturday over here.

 

[frsttimemama]

Katrina, that sounds icky if its as muddy there as here! Your chart looks great!

So hubby doesnt have to work midnight shift sfter all, which means I should have gotten up and cleaned this morning since he invited my brother and his girlfriend over. Ugh. I'm making homemade pizza. Yumm After working 3-7. Boo on that. Lol
