TTC and Beyond!

[frsttimemama]

Thanks for the info Nikki. I was kinda worrying about that. I am afraid that I am not going to make it out of this without insulin and it will never go away. I would be ticked about daycare! Definitely talk to them and if it happens again, I'd be on the hunt for a new place!

Britt, that's great!

Katrina, yay!! Fx!

Waves - I know!! It already seems like it's flying. I'll be 32 weeks at the end of the month and that seems unreal to me. At what week do they normally start weekly visits? and when do they start doing internal checks? I want to be prepared for that.

Sandy- I had to do insulin too. I made dh do it to me. I was too scared to poke myself. However now I don't have any diabetes, but I can predict the future all I can do is be healthier from now on to help prevent diabetes 2

I think I'm about to lose the plot. Be it stress, depression, anger I don't know. I have zero patience at the minute for anything or anyone. All I want to do is cry, I know this would make me feel better but they just won't come. I feel them brewing then they go. I hate the person I'm becoming. This is not who I am.

It depends but around 35-36 weeks. I started weekly visits at 35 weeks and that's when she would have started internal exams but she checked me starting at 33 weeks because I'd felt lots of pain & pressure and rectal pressure which can be a sign of cervical changes (in my case, it was 2 pregnancies in a row.)

 

[frsttimemama]

Nikki, did you just do lantus or more? I'm anxious to hear her response. I've had a few over the limit but usually not by much.. 1-3 points except for the 130 the other day. I haven't told her any other times. I hate bothering her, but Hubby is making me since she said to and I don't go back til the 17th.

Britt, I think around 35-36 weeks for weekly and internals.

Bb, I'm really sorry. Can you talk to someone?

 

[RobertRedford]

Hugs, BB! I know that feeling all too well right now. take care of yourself and do what you need to do. Even if it is just crying all day long-- get it out. It does get easier, I promise!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Hugs Bb and rr!
I wish Dh was home, it's trying to snow some more. I wish winter was over. I just came to the conclusion if we end up pregnant this cycle I would be due around Christmas!

 

[RobertRedford]

Katrina, what an amazing christmas that would be!

doing so much better today. I have a pre-op appointment today and then im taking the rest of the day off. My ex (hubs) and I had a really long talk last night and i wouldn't say that things are good, but we kind of reached a truce. I don't know what the future holds but I feel a lot better. Even as mad and hurt as he is about the pregnancy, he is being extremely supportive and calmed me waaaay down. I'm extremely thankful that he will be there tomorrow.

I know our anniversary is Dec 15, fil birthday is the 30th of Dec and my dad's is Jan 14. Crap I'm getting my hopes up

 

[brunettebimbo]

Sandy we are still waiting for our referral to counselling.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

RR- I'm glad you are starting to feel a little better and that exhubs is coming around and is being supportive of you. That's a good man to by your side through that. What's going on between you and the "new" guy (sorry.. not sure what to call him!!) Does he know exhubs is coming to the D&C?

Feeling rough this afternoon.. almost feels like 1st tri all over again.. Did any of you have your MS come back? maybe it's just a fluke. I feel like I could barf.

 

[goldstns]

picture time...

first 2 are of the "Experiment" Id say it worked!!!

3rd pic is of all my cloth diapers set out on the window ledge waiting for today's sun!

Last 2 pics are MISS ALIA!

So I found out today that the daycare on my work site changed its rates to attract more federal employee babies... and now it is CHEAPER then our current daycare AND I can take breaks and go breast feed Alia when shes hungry (my boss "oked" that!). So we are looking into transferring her... however it might not be until summer when they have an opening.

 

[RobertRedford]

Britt, I got really frustrated with him last week and asked him to give me space. We were going to make it work b/c I was pregnant but im realizing that I need some time for me, but also time to figure out my divorce.

 

[frsttimemama]

Bb, that's CRAP!

Nikki, what a difference! Wow! And great news on the daycare front!

Katrina, so hopeful for you!! My hubby used to tell me not to get my hopes up because he hated how crushed I was. Like it was voluntary or something!

My nack is SO sore, especially the middle and my head is hurting. I took Tylenol earlier with no relief. Yuck. I hope hubby doesn't want to do anything tonight. I can throw hot dogs on the grill, serve with chips and dip and ta-da! I didnt have to cook. Lol. I can just relax and sleep.

 

[frsttimemama]

Amanda, I'm so sorry.

Britt, I think Morgan had issues with MS coming back. Feel better!

Speaking of her, any updates?

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Wow Nikki! It did work, and Miss Alia is adorable! That's great about the daycare!

RR- I couldn't agree more. Don't force it if it's not happeneing! You need time to figure it all out in your head.

Rachel- Just realized I forgot, but those pictures of Ellie are so cute! and I love the Onesie!!

Sometime in the 30-weeks (forget when it started), I started to get super nauseous again. I never threw up the entire pregnancy but felt like I really needed to lol.

Nikki - Awesome news about the daycare situation. Hope you can get her transferred soon!

Haven't seen any Instagram posts from Morgan since she last updated us here. Maybe she was admitted??!


AFM - OH's mom and grandma fly in from VA early tomorrow morning. Apparently OH's brother (a couple years younger than us) is having a party at some bar locally tomorrow night but he never told us about it. OH's mom called last night to go over details and told us they'd watch the girls if we wanted to go. It'd be nice to get a break/get out like old times but OH is a little pissed his brother never told him about it. They're pretty close but have grown apart a bit since we had kids together. After Hannah was born though, we'd go "partying" with him if my mom was babysitting so it's not like everything changed. OH just rearranged his priorities. So anyway... OH doesn't want to go. Especially since his brother has yet to meet Leah and has bailed twice when plans were made for him to come over.

Last night the girls were asleep and I was ready for bed at 10:30. I asked OH if he would take care of a feeding if it happened before 1am and he agreed. That way he still got a decent stretch of sleep before work and I could (hopefully) get a nice stretch before the next feeding after 1am, whenever that would be. He agreed and of course, Leah woke up before I even climbed into bed lol. I was hoping to get an hour or two of sleep before she woke up so that I'd get a nice, long stretch of sleep myself but oh well. Either way, I'm hoping he'll be willing to give that a try on a regular basis because if I can get to bed at a decent hour, I stand a chance of getting SOME sleep lol. OF COURSE, when I had my late-night feeding (3am or so), Leah refused to go back to sleep afterward. THEN when I fed her around 7am, as soon as I drifted back off to sleep after the feeding Hannah woke up. I'm running on fumes today lol.

Rachel-The onsie is so cute! I'm tempted to get one for G and O after they get here...

Britt-I know it's hard, but try not to worry so much about the weight gain. I went so long only gaining 3 lbs...once I hit the 3rd tri I started gaining. I gained the most during my 8th month and am now up to 25 lbs gained!!! Freaks me out a little, but I know the babies are gaining a lot right now and I still don't look like I've gained a lot.
I agree about the internals, it depends on the doc and it also depends on what's going on with the pregnancy. I was checked bc I was having so many bh and some were registering as real contractions. I know I've heard some don't start checking until 38 weeks and then others who don't check unless you are having labor symptoms...

Nikki-I would definitely talk to the director, that is NOT ok! I found this website that you could probably call and see who you report that stuff to: https://www.coloradoofficeofearlychildhood.com
So glad to know the sun bleaching works! Alia's hair is pretty funny lol I can't believe how much she has, it looks so soft!

bb-I'm sorry you are having such a rough time...is there any way to call and rush the referral along? I hope they get you in to see someone soon.

Amanda-So glad you guys were able to talk and you are feeling better. Like I said, been there, done that...divorce is not easy!

I slept so much last night...first I had a hard time falling asleep bc I just couldn't get comfortable. For the first time ever I actually was craving an icee which is weird. So I finally fell asleep around 1:30 probably, then slept until after noon today! Anyway, in-laws are coming over for dinner tomorrow so I've got some cleaning and errands to do...better get busy!

Waves-I say if his mom offered to watch the girls, let her watch them anyway and you guys can go do something just the two of you! I'm sure you are ready to get out of the house lol
