TTC and Beyond!

[Disneybaby26]

Julie- neither Greyson's penis, nor the extent to which you and Ryann want to grow your family is any of their business. If they bring it up I think you have every right to tell then exactly how you feel!

Ugh- we have to hang with the in-laws tonight too. First person that tells me to eat more or that the baby is still high is getting a swift kick to the crotch.

we have also decided not to circumcise - obv people will find out since they'll be diaper changing for us. so far, no comments, but i'm sure they're coming. my reply will be along the lines of "i think you all know we're not dumb, have done our research, and made the decision. thank you for your input".
went and got my haircut today and she straightened it as well. i love running my fingers thru it... i cant stop touching it. i also tried on some dresses i have in my closet since we have a wedding coming up and yeah... gonna have to go shopping. haha.

 

[frsttimemama]

We had planned not to circumcise, as well. It's our child and our decision.

We went shopping and found the car seat and stroller we want. Yay. Haven't bought it, but we will. Went to Menards. Dinner with the inlaws and friends and hung out with hubby tonight. No party which is greatvsince I don't feel well. Been sick a few times. We tried a new pub for dinner.. Idk if it was that or baby. It's not new, we just haven't eaten there. Either way, I'm in bed and hoping for it to be over.

 

[asmcsm]

Wow Julie, I don't blame you I would e pissed too! Totally no one else's business what you guys decide is best for your babies! We wouldn't have cirimcised if we had a boy either.

AFM, sorry not been on much lately. Been kinda a crazy week and the rest of this month is going to be crazy busy too. Going to make te last weeks of pregnancy fly by I think. Had our first Lamaze class on Thursday night. Was pretty much all stuff I already knew from my own research. Our homework is to write out a birth plan for te next class. Today was super nice here so we took the dogs to the river to play fetch and swim which they loved but now I've got some pretty swollen feet lol. Also took my fabrics to my friend who's going to make the quilt for Lux's crib so I'm super excited for that to get done. Was sitting here after dinner and I'm pretty sure lux is still head down because I was feeling some very rhythmic bubble type feelings down low which I'm assuming were probably hiccups.

 

[asmcsm]

Oh and I was laying on the couch last night with prescription ear drops in my ear for the stupid swimmers ear that I have and got what was definitely the worst leg cramp of my life. It lasted about 10 mins and was cramping up the front and back of my leg and I couldn't move my foot. I literally started crying and DH was freaking out because he didn't know what to do lmao. Anyone else have these screw leg cramps? I get small ones at night all the time but this one was AWFUL

 

[wavescrash]

Not that it means anything but even though Leah was breech I only ever felt her hiccups down low.

 

[asmcsm]

Well I know she was head down at my last apt and I still have been feeling kicks around the same area at the top right of my stomach, but this is the first time I've ever actually felt her hiccups

 

[jury3]

I've been feeling Olivia and Grayson's hiccups both down low. I can sometimes feel Olivia's a little higher up and she's breech. It's weird bc they both happen right around my pelvic area...

Kara-lol I get tired of being told I look like I dropped...I have 2 in there, there is no where else to go! They also keep telling me I waddle...the babies are not really any lower in my pelvis than they have been for several weeks. My belly just hangs low bc of all the weight. I waddle bc I'm limping bc my pubic bone hurts. I'll be glad when I'm not preg just so people shut up and stop staring lol

Sarah-I hope the pressure points work!

I'm glad to hear so many others wouldn't circumcise. I think it's become kind of a middle of the road thing now, if it's done it's fine, if it's not it's fine. Biggest thing for us was not altering our baby's body and him having no say in the matter. Plus watching a video of one is traumatizing! Lol

Luckily in laws weren't too bad. MIL is a little overly excited which drove me a little crazy but at least they didn't bring up the other things.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Ashlee - I had horrible leg cramps. Even my feet would cramp up. Sometimes it would wake me from sleep bc they were so strong. Oh and once my swelling started around 30 weeks, it never got better, only worse. Hope that doesn't happen to you. Omg I was soooo swollen......

On the penis home front, we had planned to circumcise if we had a boy. DH is circumcised and we both think they should match to avoid confusion. But it's the parents choice, and obviously my feelings differ from everyone else's but that doesn't give me or anyone else the right to try to change your mind. Hope you survived the inlaw visit.

My husband is circumcised for medical reasons. We still won't do it. We are in the UK though so circumcision is very rare.
