TTC and Beyond!

[Ingodshand]

Amanda- Happy Belated Bday!!

Sandy- Have fun shopping! The in-between weeks are so hard!

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks Sarah! And I agree! They are! Maybe my belly just popped up last night. Idk. We will see. After all, this is Baby #2. What kinda freezer meals do you make??

Bb, I'm sorry! It is frustrating, but I agree, maybe it's just your body trying to adjust. Didn't you run into this same thing after the firstbMC?

 

[Ingodshand]

Sandy- I have no idea that is why it is the last thing on my to do list!!! I am thinking lasagna and a chicken and rice dish. Any suggestions???

I was giving her gripe water bc she has reflux and she was super gassy bc they changed her formula. There was a TINY bit left in the dropper like .5 cc or less and she sucked on it. Not sure if she refluxed at the same time but she started choking. Like silent choking which is the worst bc it's true choking. She got all floppy and I was flipping her back and forth doing back blows and chest compressions. It was so fucking terrifying. Nurse or not, It was scary. Glad I knew what to do. DH was standing over me and just kept saying, is she breathing?!? We almost called 911 but I got her cleared and then bulb syringed her, striped her naked and wiped her with cold so she'd scream to clear her chest. She sounded clear all night, ate well and had no events. I'm going to let her dr know on Monday bc we talked about the reflux but he wanted to wait until next Friday to start her on something bc she may just outgrow it. I have his personal email bc he's our medical directors husband so I could just email him and let him know. There's nothing they'd do for it after the fact except deep suction her if she still sounded raspy but she didn't. I'm just going to keep an eye on her and fx she doesn't get sick. We go back Friday but maybe he will have us come in sooner to check her out.

Kara the hospital gave us a box with a dummy baby and a DVD. I am acls and pals certified so I didn't have to watch it in the hospital but DH and I are going to watch it now just to refresh him. He had to do bls for his job but doesn't ever use it and if you don't use it you lose it. Not to mention when it happens to your kid, it doesn't matter how trained you are. It all goes out the window. Well for the most part.

I can't even imagine Rachel-definitely busting out that DVD this weekend!!

Sarah- a little inspiration for you!! I did chilli, chicken tetrazzini, baked ziti, sheppards pie, and chicken and rice casserole! Made and froze two of each meal about $150 and took me 4 hours, I think it will be well worth it though!!!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Rachel that is terrifying!

Sandy, I kind of did but I had ovulated before now. We are kinda on a break this month so it's not even that it's just that I want to O so I can book my bloods at 7DPO and be one step closer.

When I saw my Doctor yesterday he accessed my hospital results and some are back. He said the ones that are back already are all clear so I guess we are just waiting on the other tests to arrive.

 

[goldstns]

Sry I'm late on everything...been super sick.

robert- happy bday (yesterday)

julie- my feet are the same size! Not even swollen anymore.

waves- what a dick! Kinda sounds like that way my mom explains how my dad was. And it shows still....hints why I'm not super close with him. Dh and I laughed when he offered to help watch Alia. My mom and gma said hell never change a diaper! And would b too busy on his computer.

rachel- one of my biggest fears. Alia stops breathing or chokes and sids. I had a big talk with the ped about sids. So scary. So glad u were there to get her going again. Hope none of us ever have another story like that!

morgan- enjoy the shower an your baby boys bday party. Happy birthday Jaxon!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Morgan happy birthday to Jaxon. Hope your shower goes well!
I forgot to say the other day, his bench is lovely. Where is it at?

 

[clynn11]

Bahhaha. So nice of you to help him out Julie, even with everything on your plate!!

BB I can only imagine how frustrated you are that you haven't O'd yet. It's gonna happen love! Chin up! (I know, easier said then done). Sending you lots of love. Do you know which tests they were that were all clear?

Morgan- thinking of you and your fam, and sending you lots of love today! Happy birthday handsome little angel man

Katrina- Woohoo for first dose of femara!! So excited for you!!!

Pfffft Sandy i'm sure you look like a BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY pregnant woman! Not fat

Sarah- Evan loves making you wait! FX something happens soon!!! Where do you get your recipes for freezer meals? I definitely need to plan something like that lol.

Kara- Same to you! Recipes for freezer meals??? Lol.

 

[Ingodshand]

Well, I just woke up from my two hour nap! I did not make any meals again but I feel refreshed!!

Kara- can you send your recipes?

 

[brunettebimbo]

Cassidy he never said. He just said no infections.

 

[Cowgirl07]

I just woke up from a nap, goodness I was tired.

 

[RobertRedford]

Holy crap Rachel, sooo scary! I am SO glad that she is okay!

I just woke up from a nap... Covered in stickers. Must be what happens when you nap with a 4 y/o around.

Sandy-- I think you were the one who asked. Things with babydaddy are going well. How are you?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Lol, that's funny Amanda at least you noticed they were there before answering the door.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Alright, lets see if I can do this!!

I started with 8 chicken breasts and 4lb of ground beef.

Baked ziti -
1lb penne
1 jar sauce
~1lb ground beef
1 container ricotta
1 egg
Shredded Mozzarella
Cooked ziti al dente while I browned the ground beef and added jar of sauce. Combined ricotta and egg in a bowl. Drained pasta and mixed sauce/meat and ricotta all together. Separated into two foil baking pans and topped with mozz.

Chili -
~1lb ground beef
1 packet chili seasoning
2 cans pinto beans
1 can corn
Browned ground beef, added chili seasoning packet and however much water that called for, added beans and corn and let simmer for a bit. Divided that into two glass storage containers - will just thaw overnight and put over rice the day of.

Sheppard's Pie
~1 lb ground beef
1 large jar beef gravy
1 can corn
1 pkg peas
2 pkgs instant cheddar mashed potatoes
shredded cheddar
Browned ground beef and added jar of gravy, let that simmer a bit. Divided that into two foil baking pans. Divided the corn and peas over the meat and then made the instant mashed potatoes and divided them between the two dishes. Topped with shredded cheddar.

Chicken and Rice Casserole
4 chicken breasts cooked at 400 for 20 minutes
Cooked rice (4 cups water, 2 cups rice)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 pkg frozed chopped broccoli (thawed)
Literally just cook everything and combine. Divide into two foil baking pans and top with shredded cheddar.

Chicken Tetrazinni
4 chicken breasts
1 pkg fettucine
1 pkg mushrooms
1 pkg frozen peas
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
3 cups milk
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups shredded parmesan
Panko Bread Crumbs
Cook mushrooms and set aside. Cook chicken breasts at 400 for 20 minutes. Add butter and flour to pan and make a rue. Wisk in milk, chicken broth, and parmesan cheese a little at a time until thick and bubbly. Add mushrooms, peas, and cooked cubed chicken to sauce. Make fettuccine al dente and add sauce. Split between two foil baking tins and top with panko bread crumbs.

All of these go in the fridge the night before to thaw and then into the over at 400 for 20-30 minutes until hot. I used Salt, pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes etc to taste where appropriate, and I should add that DH doesn't like onions or peppers bc he stinks but I would have added them to a lot of these if I could have!!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Sounds delicious.

 

[Ingodshand]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much Kara!! Tomorrow will be a long day of cooking!!

 

[RobertRedford]

Yum, it all sounds delicious Kara!

Katrina, how are you feeling on femara so far?

Morgan, stalking you on IG! Looks like little miss M got spoiled rotten! Hope all went well and you're doing okay. Keeping you in my thoughts. Xo. Happy birthday Jaxon.

 

[jury3]

Katrina-Yay for the femara! Hopefully you continue not to have side effects!

bb-I'm sure your body is just trying to get back on track. It actually looks like your temps are going down to your pre-o temps, so hopefully you are getting ready to O...

Rachel-That's a good idea to let doc know. I'm just so glad she's ok, I can't even imagine how scary that was...

I definitely recommend taking an infant cpr class to everyone! I sure hope none of us ever have to use it, but I was so glad DW and I went the other night so at least we know what to do if the situation arises...

Kara-Nice work! Making meals is on my to-do list...we'll see if I get there or not lol

Amanda-lol I love how the stickers were all over your chest! Hope you had a good bday...got the gift in the mail today! Thank you for sending it and thank you to all the bnb girls!

Not only did I get the gift Amanda sent today, but we also got a rocker/glider. Although one of the screws was messed up and a snap broke, so we took it back and might upgrade. We also got some free formula samples from similac. I think it's bc I signed up for the similac strong moms or something like that. Even thought we plan to bf, it'll be nice to have some around.


My mom is on a road trip with my gpa to Nevada and keeps sending me pics of mountains. So, I sent her this pic this morning telling her it was my mountain...my knees look like elbows compared to my huge belly! lol


Did a little shopping today with DW. My lower back hurt so bad and a few times I felt like I needed to squeeze my legs closed bc of some weird pressure. I was so paranoid my water might break in the store lol

 

[HWPG]

Happy birthday Jaxon.
Morgan, I hope you were able to celebrate both of your children, independently and honorably. Xoxo.
