TTC and Beyond!

Love the onesie Rachel!!

Julie- I agree and if she asks again then I will tell her the truth.

Kara- I am so sorry the doctor scared you. It does seem an extreme measure to take to already talk about inducing and a c-section. My fundal height always measured perfectly and Alyssa was born at 37 weeks weighing 5pds 8ounces so on the small side. You never know when a baby is going to have distress during labor so I say just tell them what you want. It is your body and of course we all want a healthy baby but they can't use that to scare you.

Thanks ladies! She sleeps most of the day but when she's awake, she's ready to party. She's been kicking and cooing more the last few days too.

Sorry I haven't been checking in much, I'm feeling really down at the minute, don't want to bring you girls down with me.

I'm back on the health wagon, trying to get fit and lose the 6.5lb I gained since my first miscarriage. I've been doing 2 classes a week at the gym. Really enjoying the hydro classes. I decided to try the 5:2 diet this week, I'm fasting (500 calories) for 2 days and following Slimming World for the other 5. Hoping it will give me the boost I need. Our holiday is 3 weeks on Monday.

Temperature went up again this morning. Not sure how accurate though as I've been up 3 times with Tristan last night. He's got earache again

Morgan any further news? Hope your both ok.

I know I'm late to the convo, but I agree with the other ladies Kara! Try to make it known that you really want a vaginal delivery, but know either way that you will be holding your little girl. Sometimes I wonder just how educated doctors are on some stuff? I swear they like to scare their patients.

BB- So sorry you are feeling down!! *hugs*

afm- I have my 28 week appointment this morning. I don't think they are going to do much, but i'm a little pissed about my weight. They told me at my last appointment that I had gained 9 lbs between then and my previous appointment. I about shit. Well I added up the numbers I had recorded, and yep. It was right. They told me I was on track for weight but that I should not keep gaining 9 lbs a month. As of Monday, I'd gained less than 5 lbs since my last appointment almost 5 weeks ago. I was really happy with that. I decided to jump on the scale this morning to see where I was and it went up 4 lbs from MONDAY! So thats.. yup. almost 9 lbs. I'm so upset. I know it's water weight. I didn't eat an excess of 12,000 calories over, but the doctor won't see it that way. Plus, I'll be clothed and have breakfast in my stomach. I try not to worry about my weight, but it's hard. Plus, I have this itchy rash at the very top of my bump that I just noticed yesterday. I think the bra I was wearing made we sweat and I left it on too long. Either way, I hope that goes away soon.

Thanks girls-today will be a better day!!

Rachel-she is beyond cute and I love the onsie!! That O face is hysterical!!

Bb-I'm sorry you're feeling that way, you can always come here to vent, complain anything!! That's what we're here for, support and understanding! Like I said earlier, we found out our first babe had passed at twelve weeks this coming Thursday of last year. It stays with you forever, it's hard and horrible and people can commiserate and be sensitive but no one truly knows how it feels unless they've been through it. Always remember you have that experience here, we understand. Lots of hugs xo

I'm sorry I am behind! I read along yesterday, but got busy and couldn't respond.

Thanks for the update Morgan! Praying for you and Miss Marlet. Keep us updated when you can.

Sarah, hoping Evan comes soon!

Rachel, Ellie is adorable, and I love that onsie!

Kara, I'm sure that was very scary. Your doctor sounds very similar to mine -- blunt. I really like it. I know your main concern is the health of the baby. If you question what she/he says, what about a second opinion? I'm sure everything will be okay!

Bb, i could NOT do that 500 calorie fast.

Britt, the same thing happened to me last pregnancy! It's SO frustrating!

Julie, glad the babies are closed in tight still!

15 weeks! Yay! Every day feels like a victory, as dumb as that sounds. I have lost 4 pounds for whatever reason. I eat ALLLLL the time it seems. I'm a little nervous. Have to e-mail my doctor because I have had a couple high sugars.. blah! Happy Friday! I think I have a whole weekend off! Yay!

Bb it's good to hear from you, you can vent. That's all I did last week on here and no one complained.
Oh ellie your so sweet.
Kara I'm glad your feeling better.
Afm I'm using both the digital and answer opks this month. I got a flashing smiley so I guess I'm entering the fertile period. I'm not sure. But if that means I will o on time I will take it, because I will be out of town next weekend.

Advice needed: took Alia to daycare this morning...well the state law here is 5 kids per teacher. I walked in to 12 kids and 1 teacher (and the teacher is pregnant and due in 2 weeks!!). There is no way in hell that teacher could safely evacuate the building in case of a fire or care for all kids in an emergency! So I told her I was un happy and I was staying until another teacher showed up...15 min later one showed up. But they were now at 6 kids/ teacher. Still not ok! My dh and I both plan on talking with the director. This is the second time this has happened in the 6 weeks Alia has been there. Last time wasn't as bad, it was 6 to 1, but still illegal! I said something to her then too. What should I do?

 

[goldstns]

Sandy- not to stress y...but the further along ur the higher the readings get. Like something might have given u fine numbers a few weeks ago and u eat the same thing/amount and your numbers might come back higher. So it might get harder. Sry!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Nikki that's awful, I don't know what to tell you.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Wish I could help Nikki, but I have no experience with daycare! I'd be unhappy as well.

My doctor's appointment this morning went fine and was uneventful! Even though my scale said 178 this am, the one at the doctors said 175 with all my clothes on. It was 171 weeks ago. So after all that stressing, It was fine. My scale at home is super old. Maybe I should buy a new one! Heartbeat sounded great and he said my fundal height was "perfect". Now I start every two week appointments.

So exciting Britt! Going every 2 weeks helps the end of pregnancy go by a lot faster, even more so when you get to going every week.
