TTC and Beyond!

[HWPG]

oh, my dr has my due date 4 days ahead of what i think my EDD is - LMP vs ovulation. i'm like "i didnt even have an egg then". generally, it doesnt matter, especially when it's that close - it only matters for measurements. two weeks seems like a lot, but once they date you at your ultrasound, they usually use that for more accuracy.

The class was an hour long. It was like 50 squats with a kettlebell, 40, 30, 20, 10 of different things etc then repeated 4 times.

Oh my gosh Morgan! So exciting! Can't believe it may be baby time!! Enjoy dinner tonight! Glad you get where I'm coming from. It's tough, but exciting.

I'm okay with them going off of LMP because that'd mean I'd get to meet baby and be DONE being pregnant (and scared to death!) 11 days sooner. Although, I'm already a little concerned that between the high blood pressure (which is controlled right now) and the GD (which is controlled right now) that baby will come too soon. Always something to worry about! My US dates were right on with O date though. Hopefully baby doesn't get too big. When we met with the nurse at the diabetes center, she proceeded to tell me how GD babies can get too big and compress and kink their cord, blah blah blah. I'm sitting there having mini-heart attacks, wondering why they know nothing about the patients they are talking to (EVEN WHEN THEY HAVE THE CHART!) because I'm already terrified of the 20982309250112 things that could go wrong with this pregnancy ANYWAY.

BB, hope your abs feel better pronto!

Exciting Morgan!!! I'm sure it will be soon!! Hope she's fully cooked!

Nikki - I think it's working a little more. The lc called yesterday to check on us and said to give the meds a week to work. Yesterday was one week so we shall see.

mirolee, I call that "trust falling" to go pee. Happens when I do too much at bootcamp.

 

[RobertRedford]

Rachel, have you tried having a dark beer? I've heard weird, but good stories about having a beer to help with production. I dont know if the risks outweight the benefits b/c of the alcohol transferring to babe in your milk though.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Morgan how exciting. I think Mirolee's little boy should be added to the front page.

Amanda and Nikki- Pictures are adorable!! Keep em coming ladies! I can't wait till I can post pictures of little Lux

Cassidy- Tell Kevin happy birthday for me! I've been putting off weighing myself for like a week and a half lol but yesterday they weighed me and so far I'm at 14lbs gained. And measured exactly 29 weeks which I am today.

BB- Ugh I know what you mean about cycles going nuts. I was a constant 32 days with o on cd16 then i miscarried and I had like 40-50 day cycles. Hopefully things get more consistent for you!

Morgan- OMG! So exciting! But hopefully she'll stay in there until after your baby shower! Let her cook just a little longer!

As long as u don't pump or feed until 3 hr after 1 drink ur good. Or pump and dump.

oatmeal is still doing great for me.

Just read this on Facebook, made me giggle the way she has written it - https://www.pileofbabies.com/birth-10-surprises-first-days-delivery/

 

[clynn11]

Dark beer was the only thing that helped my good friend with her supply!! She tried everything before that. Apparently the yeast helps bring your milk in and produce more!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Yuck beer.

so funny! Thx for sharing.

 

[asmcsm]

I'm gonna agree with Katrina on this one...I'd probably gag the whole time I'd try to drink dark beer.

 

[jury3]

Katrina-That sounds like a good idea to meet with another couple who is ttc. After having those people ask you annoying questions, it might be nice to talk to a couple with similar struggles!

Morgan-Crazy! Hopefully she'll wait at least until after the shower...

 

[RobertRedford]

Katrina, that is wonderful. It must be nice to know that you can socialize with another couple who understands what you're going through, but also will be respectful of the "so when are you going to have kids?" question!

I also can't stand beer, but I would force one down to get my milk production up! I do make some awesome dark chocolate guiness cupcakes for irish car bomb cupcakes though. I wonder if that would work? They have lots of beer in the batter!

 

[frsttimemama]

Katrina, I think that's a great idea to get together with the other couple!

I hate beer. Ugh! I like vodka. Lol.

Bb, that cracked me up. It's so true, too.

 

[goldstns]

I would do the beer if needed.

Katrina dinner date with another ttc couple is a great idea. Enjoy!

Robert I make those cupcakes too....dh's fav!! Mine only has 1 beer in it.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Ooooh Morgan!!! How exciting!! Keep us posted mama!!

Sam Adams makes a dark "chocolate cherry Bach" beer-it's delish!! I've heard that it will help increase supply too! Having a drink while bfing is totally fine! No reason at all to pump and dump. Trace alcohol will actually make it into you milk and it reabsorbs just like it does in your blood (meaning just like your BAC goes down to zero after time your "boobie alcohol content" will do the same, no need to waste your goods).

I want an ice cold grey goose martini straight up with some big ol olives...mmmm!!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Sometimes BnB has the weirdest ads!! I just clicked the link at the bottom that says "15 names you shouldn't give your kid" thinking like oh crap, I hope Makayla isn't on that list...nope but "Butt" and "Xanax" are...lol really?!
