TTC and Beyond!

[clynn11]

Yeah she still lives at home. She just turned 18 end of August. I hate it. I hope and wish every day that she has a boy and that makes me sad. I want to be excited if i'm getting a little niece, I don't want to resent anything about the situation or her name. I really thought they'd get it. It's so frustrating. I mean, I explained it all to them in the message. How i'm having issues with sharing milestones, etc. How it's hard for me that my little sister got pregnant 'accidentally' in the second month of her relationship while my husband and I were off birth control for 2 years and hardcore TTC for 13 cycles before finally getting our BFP. Seeing my mom go to her appointments and none of mine. Sharing my baby shower. It's all extremely hard for me.

Sandy lovely pic. It amazes me how they look so developed at 12 weeks.

Maybe your mum is being protective as she sees herself doing a lot with the baby , I'm guessing she'll support you sis a lot. But still ,it's out of order. I just dont know why she would want the same name. Maybe just speak to her without your mum there and see what she says

 

[frsttimemama]

I just don't understand how they can not understand when you spell it out completely for them. I'm sad for you.

Collette, I know what you mean! It amazed me, too. We could see the little toes and fingers and even the little nose! We have already decided that the toes and nose are the same as his/her big brother. It was funny that we could pick out so much, especially my husband, because at this point last time, we were like, "Umm, what was that part?" Ha.

 

[Kiamaria83]

It's lovely. Must be so hard for you but it's nice to have the same features from big brother.
I'm off to bed this lightweight can't stay up any longer. Have a good evening girlies.

Oh and has anyone heard from stg ?

 

[brunettebimbo]

Cassidy I think they are being unreasonable

Sandy lovely scan picture. Amazing how developed they look so early on.

I haven't heard from STG, I wrote in her journal, she liked my comment but never replied. I hope she's ok.

 

[asmcsm]

Oh my god Cassidy, that's just ridiculous. You've been so supportive of your sister and have offered to share so much with her already why can't they see that you just want this one thing to yourself. I'm so sorry. I'm so frustrated for you just hoping that both our sisters have boys.

 

[frsttimemama]

I haven't heard from STG. I commented in her journal today because I just found it. I lost the link for the longest time! Hope she's well!

Ash, I agree with you. I hope your sister has a boy, too! When will she find out?

I hear ya, Collette! It's 8 pm, and I'm SO ready for bed. Ha.

 

[asmcsm]

My sister is finding out on April 15th. I'm actually going with her to her apt.

 

[frsttimemama]

You and Cassidy are both so strong! I would probably be so unbelievably jealous it would be ridiculous! I struggled with my sister's first baby for quite awhile. I came around, but still. I'm sure that it is really hard to share this special and important time in your life.

 

[RobertRedford]

I agree, I would not be able to handle my siblings having a kid right now. Although my pregnancy was completely accidental so I guess I can't talk. I do commend you both for being so strong though!!

Sandy, beautiful scan picture!

Must be something in the air today. I have been an emotional wreck all day. The reality of a divorce setting in kind of hit me today and it's been tears all day. Really hard. MS has kicked in even more, too, so im currently a sick moody teary mess. Here's to next week being brighter!

Just worked out and I'm getting my toes done. Hoping some me time will help!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Evening ladies!

Cassidy- I would be pissed about the middle name thing. Jeez. You are already sharing a baby shower, and now she has to pick the same middle name? You have every right to be upset about it. I don't think i'd do well with a sibling having a baby that close to me.

Sandy - great scan!!! Glad everything looked well at the appointment

RR- Sorry you are having a rough day. Pregnancy emotions are nothing to mess with and i'm sure a divorce looming, doesn't help at all.

Arm- Not much to report... weekend flew by as always. Harper was very quiet for a few days and I considered calling the OB on monday, but she's been more active since last night, so I think i'm good. It did make me realize that I wouldn't hesitate to call if I thought there was a problem. It's snowing. calling for 3-6"...I could just cry.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Also.. has anyone else noticed huge discrepancy's in ticker information? My ticker here says baby is 14" and my "What to Expect" app says the baby is only 9"! That seems like a HUGE difference. I just like to know these things, so i'm curious which is more accurate!

 

[goldstns]

So sry cass. I'd b mad too. These feeling will one day settle, but a name will be around forever. My older brother is the same way.

robert- feel better lady!

sandy- sry I have no keyton info/advice. I never did it.

cross your fingers my glucose test comes back with good results tomorrow.

Alia was very fussy today, I think her belly hurt cuz she was a pooping machine. She LOVES baths! She's so cute. I put away her new born clothing and brought out her 3-6 month clothing (along with her 0-3 month clothing that is already out).

dh and I found time for sex...yay! No condom....dont think pregnancy comes easy for us and if I did then its meant to be.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Sandy great scan.
Cassidy sorry no temp this morning. I had a little to much last night.
I just got home and am so sleepy.

 

[frsttimemama]

Britt, i read something about a range so maybe one used one number and another a different number in the range?

Amanda, hope today is better!

Katrina I can't wait for todays temp!

No ketones today but hubby says I still have to call. Ugh. I feel lousy today. Uncomfortable. I am sure baby is just growing which is great. I'll live. Can't wait for a nap after work though! Haha.

 

[Cowgirl07]

There you go Sandy. Not to exciting in my opinion. Oh I have another Dr appointment today. They must love seeing me once a week.
Happy saint Patrick's day ladies!

 

[Ingodshand]

Amanda- So sorry you are having a rough time! Hopefully this week is better

Sandy- What a cute picture of your little one!!

Britt- I think the measurement might be how they are measuring from rump to head or feet to head? That would be my only explanation!

Nikki- Can not believe Alia is two months already! Time has flown by!

Katrina- Happy St Paddy’s day to you!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Happy St. Paddy's day ladies!

I'm not doing anything today. I am feeling so tired and worn down. I am tossing and turning all night because laying on my hips hurts. I occasionally just lay on my back because it's the only way I seem to get relief. I only have 97 days left. Some times it seems like no time at all, but others times I have no idea how i'll deal another 3 months! I am already getting quite uncomfortable at times!

 

[RobertRedford]

Thanks, All. Today is better! Have to remember that I'm human and it's okay to be sad and have mixed emotions about it all. Being pregnant and having crazy preggo hormones surely doesn't help. I've had crazy insomnia since before my bfp, but its finally going away, phew! I slept 10 hours last night and feel amazing today. It is supposed to be 75* here in CA today, too. thinking of going for a hike after work to take advantage of this gorgeous weather!

Waves, how are you doing today?

Nikki, yay for no condoms but also holy cow! how would you feel if you got preggo again right away?

Britt, sorry you're so uncomfortable. I hope you can get some rest today! I have no idea about the difference in the ticker vs. app. I notice a lot of differences betwen the few pregnancy apps i have on my phone, too.

Hi to everyone else!

I wrapped, wrote cards and packaged most of the gifts for you all on saturday. I'm going to take them to the post office today to mail!

Happy monday & st pattys day to you all! I totally spaced-- I am not wearing green.
