TTC and Beyond!

Wow, that man is unbelievable. I would be irate if my hubby left baby in a dirty diaper! I can't even believe that. My goodness. And for them to have had to work so hard to get pregnant baffles me.

Britt, I've been rired the whole time, but I haven't really been sick so I will take that trade for sure!

I am thinking of getting some maxi skirts for this summer. Are they pretty cool?

Right? I'm seriously so... mind-blown about the whole situation. She said something about this is the agreement they made (her being the sole caretaker for the baby or whatever) but she had hoped he'd at least help out with housework but he's barely done that. Regardless, I don't know who would agree to letting their husband (or partner rather) not have anything to do with caring for their own child unless they weren't together/married, you know what I mean? I just don't understand it whatsoever.

OH had some moments along the same line as her husband when Hannah was a baby but I quickly reminded him that I don't NEED him, I was capable of doing it all on my own... I just WANTED to be with him but I wanted a partner. Not just a fuck buddy. So he either needed to be a full-time partner and parent & step up to the plate or get the eff out. Needless to say he's a perfect father 97% of the time and lives by the motto, "happy wife, happy life." lol.

I can't imagine not putting your foot down in this kind of situation.

I think maxi dresses are great for summer especially light fabric ones. If I was pregnant I would wear them all year round.

Holy crap, a lot to catch up on today!!

Sarah, do you like eggplant?! Lol-this truly put one of the girls I work with into labor!

Totally agree Waves!

 

[RobertRedford]

Thanks for the birthday wishes Rachel! It is my bday today yay for Ellie's doctor appointment going well! Is she in preemie clothes?

Waves, I'm speechless. What a lame person!

I worth about my shoe size changing too.

Having a doctors appt on your bday is not a good idea. Doc confirmed that I did miscarry and a d&c is necessary. There is visible tissue that they feel could be a concern.

Sarah, thinking about you. Hoping Evan arrives shortly

Had anyone received their gifts yet? Wondering if they made it okay :/

Will check in later, off to dinner in a bit

If you sent me one, I haven't received anything yet.


Anyway - Happy Birthday my dear Sorry you had to deal with that appointment today though. Enjoy your birthday dinner

 

[Disneybaby26]

Happy Birthday, Amanda!! So sorry it was a tough day, hopefully your night is much better!! Xo

 

[jury3]

Amanda-I'm sorry for the bad news on your bday...I'm glad it's confirmed so you feel more comfortable with the d&c though. I hope the rest of your day is good...

Waves-Holy cow...I don't know what I would even do. I sure as hell wouldn't be keeping quiet about it, that's enough for me to kick someone to the curb. Luckily I know DW well enough to know she would never ever be like that.

The reason I was asking about the shoe thing is bc my mom said after having kids her shoe size went up a size...not during pregnancy, but afterward...like, forever! I'm ok with having to fit some swollen cankles into a bigger size or looser shoes, but I like my small 7-7.5 size shoe and would like to remain in that size after these children are born lol

I texted my brother that is getting married right after I'm due to have babies to see if he had sent out invites yet since I hadn't seen anything. It is 6 weeks until his wedding and he still hasn't started them! Procrastination runs in our family, but holy crap! I told him to send them to me and I would get them out next week. He doesn't have directions printed yet and hadn't even thought about what to do for gifts. I asked if they were registered and he goes "for what?" lol So, I am just going to handle all the details of the invites to help them out. I could seriously kick his ass not only for planning a wedding 5 days after my actual due date (2.5 weeks after scheduled c-section) and now for procrastinating on the invites. Grrrrrr!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Happy birthday Amanda!
Julie that sucks about your brother, I was super planner about mine and had them out 10 weeks in advance. In my defense it was winter time.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Scariest moment of my life. Ellie started choking and stopped breathing. Her lips turned purple. I was beating the crap out of her back. Longest 30 seconds - minute of our lives. Her chest was all raspy after but I got her to cry and now they are cleared but G damn it was terrifying. Now I'm afraid to go to sleep

 

[clynn11]

I heard that the hormone relactin or wtf ever it's called that helps your uterus/round ligaments stretch work on ALL of your ligaments- so the ligaments in your feet can loosen and your feet can grow!! Lol.

Happy birthday Amanda I'm sorry you still have to have the D&C. I hope it's a quick and smooth procedure

Rachel- That is the scariest shit ever omg. I'd be scared to sleep too. I'm glad she's okay

 

[jury3]

Rachel-So scary! We just took an infant cpr class and it was scary just thinking it could happen. Did you call her pediatrician? The lady that ran our class is a NICU nurse and said they recommend calling the pediatrician after choking like that just to make sure everything is ok. Just a suggestion...I'm so glad she's ok though.
The video of her hiccuping was really cute by the way

Cassidy-I've heard that too. I wonder how often it actually happens...

 

[brunettebimbo]

Rachel how scary, hope your all ok

Happy Birthday Amanda

Waves that is shit! Id be hiding his computer and making him step up to the plate and be a real Dad!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Oh no Rachel, how terrifying!! What was she chocking on, spit up?? I'm so scared of things like that! I have a DVD with a fake doll I'm going to watch and do with my mom, DH is EMT cert but obviously he won't be around all the time. You poor thing you must have freaked I'm so glad she's okay!!!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Urgh, look at my stupid chart!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Thinking of you today, Morgan! Sending you lots of love and strength momma. Happy birthday in heaven beautiful baby Jaxon xo

Bb-I'm sorry! Hopefully they have some answers for you soon!!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Morgan thinking of you today hugs.
Bb I'm sorry.
Rachel glad she is okay and nurse mom was there for her. Nurse mothers are the best, I'm biased though.
Afm first femara was taken an hour ago no side effects yet.

 

[frsttimemama]

Morgan, I am thinking of you today, Mama. Happy birthday to baby Jaxon, and may God give you strength to get through this exciting, bittersweet day. I can only imagine how you must feel, but as you know, Jaxon is looking down smiling on his mama, daddy, and sweet little baby sister, watching over all of you. Hugs! Enjoy your shower.

Rachel, how absolutely terrifying! I am so glad you were able to handle the situation. Did you call the doctor or are you just going to keep your eye on her for signs of pneumonia?

Amanda, I'm so sorry that you had to deal with that on your birthday. Happy birthday nonetheless, and I hope that you were able to enjoy your dinner! How are things going with babydaddy, by the way?

Katrina, suuuuuper exciting! I can't wait for your BFP!! It's coming. Femara is going to be just what you need, I can feel it. I know how you were feeling yesterday. I felt that way on Clomid. It WILL work for you!

AFM, I look like a fat pregnant lady today for some reason. My new tank top.. yes, definitely. My T-shirt I bought a size bigger? Yes.. definitely. Neither of them fit as well as I thought they would. I'm still wearing them. I'm already dressed and my crazy ridiculous curly hair has been.. semi-tamed. I'm done. Sweatshirt and sneakers. We are going shopping! Mama needs new dishes. We went last night for a few things. I ended up with 3 new tank tops to cover my belly and a new pair of flats and the CUTEST mason jar glasses with lids, gingham straws, and burlap wraps on them. Adorable! Sam's Club special. Hubby loved them. I'm so lucky we have such similar tastes.

 

[Ingodshand]

Rachel- How scary! Alyssa used to choke a lot and we found out she had silent reflux. I would definitely call the doctor and let them know. Hope she is better today!

Katrina- Yay for the femara! I only had side effects after taking it a few months and that was some nausea by day 4 or 5. I hope you don't get any side effects!

Morgan- Have fun at your shower today! Hope you have a great day.

BB- Your chart does look a little weird but maybe your body is just adjusting. Maybe just try to have fun this month and don't look too much into it!

AFM- Feeling much better today. My mom took Alyssa to dance this am so I am sitting on the couch! Going to do some yoga in a minute and rummage through some baby shoes! Really want to get some cooking done this weekend so I have some freezer meals. We shall see if that gets done!
