TTC and Beyond!

[frsttimemama]

Waves, sorry you had a rough night! Hope today is better!

Amanda, cute!!

 

[wavescrash]

Haha thanks ladies.

This morning has been interesting. Hannah is still just as hyper and defiant this morning as she always is. Coloring on furniture. Climbing on furniture she knows she's not allowed to. She's trying to help with Leah but isn't listening when we try to explain things or guide her. She climbed on the couch while I was holding Leah and nearly kicked her in the head. Kept trying to climb over her rock & play sleeper while Leah was in it. I asked her to help me with diaper changes by carrying the wipes and ointment to the couch and she just threw them on the ground and walked away lol. So needless to say I'm terrified to have the two of them home alone with me. Fortunately this week Hannah will be at my mom's during the day and come home when OH gets out of work so he'll be here to help me but the following week, he's working 10-7 again and it'll just be me with both girls. I have a feeling I'm going to wind up wearing Leah in the ring sling my cousin made me A LOT.

I think we're attempting a trip to the grocery store later with all 3 of us. Heaven help me.

 

[frsttimemama]

Oh my that sounds stressful!

 

[Kiamaria83]

Hi girls. Sorry I haven't been on much . I've been trying to read along but nothing is going in. Just soooo tired and sicky.
Amanda great news about your hcg
Amanda. Sounds like a v stressful night for you.
Rachel exciting that your princess will be home soon.
Mirolee. Awsome that your team blue. Boys are awsome , no future boyfriends to deal with haha.
Bb how are you doing ? Also wondering is tristan toilet trained ? If so how on earth do you start? Elliott is just showing no interest whatsoever. All he will do is trump on his potty then high five himself after!
So sorry I have missed loads of you girls off. Not intentional at all. Hope you're all ok.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I'm ok one minute and not the next. I've heard of 2 unplanned pregnancies this week and it's hard to digest I hate the bitter feeling!

Yes Tristan is toilet trained during the day. No where near ready for night time training yet. We've tried 2 times and failed. He was 2 and a half when we day trained him. We did try before but he just kept peeing everywhere so waited a few months and tried again and he cracked it. I booked a week off work, bought a star chart and plenty of chocolate buttons. I let him run round with no bottoms on and kept putting him on the potty, checking if he needed a wee etc. Everytime he was successful he got a chocolate button and a star and after so many stars he would get a new Hot Wheels Car. After he had cracked that bit we progressed to pants. That was a little trickier but didn't take long.

Ahh it's so hard when skanks announce pregnancies. Unfortunately they seem to be super fertile and have hundreds of kids. You will have your baba soon. Thanks for the info. Thats a really good idea. Think ill wait a couple of months for warmer weather and then we'll try again . I cant ever imagine him being dry at night though.

 

[Cowgirl07]

It was icky my pants coveralls and shoes were soaked. Since I'm not pregnant I see myself having a cocktail at the end of the year bowling party.
Amanda you look great!
Waves good luck.

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks. We ended up not going to the grocery store, thank heavens. My dad was planning to come visit today when he got out of work at 2pm and the way Hannah's nap schedule worked out, by the time she woke up, my dad was already on his way so we couldn't go out. Now Tyler and my dad took Hannah to get us KFC for dinner and then my dad's taking Autumn back to my mom's house. So I think tomorrow we'll take just Hannah & Leah to the grocery store. I'm going to try & wear Leah in my ring sling my cousin made me so fingers crossed for that lol.


As for potty training, that's probably the same method we'll use but neither myself or Hannah are ready to try yet. She's going to be 2 next month so I think I'll wait until she's 2 and a half as well. Hopefully she'll comprehend a reward system like that a little bit more so that it will be more successful. Plus Leah will be older and that will hopefully make it easier for me to focus mostly on Hannah/potty training at that time.

Collette, lol at "skanks"!

Waves, glad things are going okay. I hope they ease up and the next few days get easier for all. This must be a big adjustment for Hannah!

Hi to everyone else. Hope you're all having a good weekend.
Currently in the jacuzzi tub with milk and cookies. Aaaah heaven!

 

[frsttimemama]

Bb, I hate that. It happened to me a lot, too. It's not fair. I don't understand it, but it sure does seem to work that way. I'm sure you wil have your sticky rainbow soon!

Collette, sorry you are feeling lousy. Feel better soon!

Katrina, YUCK! Enjoy your drink. You deserve it. I still think your chart looks great. Don't give up!

Amanda, is that like a hot tub? I ask because I thought pregnant women weren't supposed to use them? Yum to milk and cookies!

Waves, glad things worked out that way. Yum to KFC!

AFM, work was less than stellar and turned into 6.5 hours instead of 4. Ugh. Missed dinner with my fam at my house. Hubby cooked and handled it. He's awesome. I'm Tylenol PM'ed with my heating pad on the couch after my leftovers. Ahh.. lol.

 

[RobertRedford]

Sandy, no, our bath tub is just an oversized tub with jets. I don't use the jets or keep it too hot.

 

[wavescrash]

Ugh I really hate hate hate postpartum hormones.

 

[clynn11]

Waves Sorry that things are difficult now, but they will settle and you will get into the swing of things. Sending lots of love and positive vibes!!!

Amanda your blump (bloat bump) is adorable!!!

Both good and bad day for me. Got to see all of my family who I absolutely adore. Then my little sister announced her official name choices. Carter Anthony for a boy. Aaliyah Lynn for a girl. Why why why is she taking my middle name too?!?!?!?! My middle name is Lynn and my mom's middle name is Lynn. I have ALWAYS said my first born daughter will have the middle name Lynn after me and my mom so it's really a stab to the heart that she would take that special thing from me. I'm feeling really emotional over it right now :'(

 

[asmcsm]

Ugh that sucks Cassidy if be pissed/upset/emotional in your position too. He obviously knows you're already using the name. I somewhat know how you're feeling since my cousin announced using my original boy name in front of our whole family knowing that it was the name I had picked, but I wasn't pregnant already and had an announced name! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that she's having a boy and you won't have to worry about it

 

[Kiamaria83]

Eugh cass that's really annoying.i think I would go ape shit at her!
Amanda I didnt realise hannah was so young, for some reason I thought she was 3. Isnt 2 a hard age. They are so unreasonable lol. Agree about potty training. We tried at 2 and they just dont understand so hoping that few months makes a diff.
Sandy did you have another gd test ? If so how did it go? Sorry I have probably missed loads
amanda sounds lovely, milk is so much better than champers lol

 

[brunettebimbo]

Cassidy your due first so I'd use it anyway!

 

[goldstns]

Sorry cass! I'd say something to her if she ends up ha Ing a girl. Fingers crossed its a boy.

sandy- can u have Tylenol pm and heating pad when preggo?

 

[goldstns]

Waves- praying things get better soon!!

Robert- were they home make cookies?? Yummy

 

[frsttimemama]

Cassidy, I'd be pissed and definitely say something to her. Hopefully she has a boy! That's crazy, especially since you already said you were using it.

Nikki, yes, my doctor said I could last time. She told me to take it when I had a hard time sleeping. The tylenol PM is just tylenol and benadryl, and the heating pad is ok as long as it's not on my belly.

Collette, yes. I had the 3 hour, and failed it. Two out of four numbers were a bit too high. My sugar checks have mostly been ok except for 3 being too high by 1-4 points. I have missed a couple checks the past 2 days though. I have either gotten tied up at work and forgot or fell asleep after
supper. Oops!

Waves, hope last night was better.

Amanda, ok. I just didn't know. I imagine the jets are ok though? I thought they just worried about the temperature.

Hubby just had to go into work for 12 hours. He still isn't up to par. I suppose that means cleaning and laundry for me, which is MUCH needed, but I am going back to sleep awhile first.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Cassidy how awful of her. That sucks.
Afm off to Milwaukee today ill check in tonight.
