BB- is Tristan feeling better?

We are definitely circumcising Evan. I just can't imagine him being that kid that is not... Sorry!

No change over here! I can tell you that I am very tired of people talking about the clear out! I have been doing that for over a month now and I get cramps before it happens so I think something is starting but then nope... Just another trip to the bathroom!

Going to buy a new baby swing today since I have decided that I hate the one we have and it is pink!
 
If we had a boy, we'd circumcise as well. But it's definitely a "to each their own" issue, in my opinion.
 
Ashlee it's so good to hear from you!
We probably would circumcise, but every couple makes their own decision.
 
Julie, glad the in-law visit went well! :)

Ashlee, hope the cramping gets better!

Sarah, that's exciting! I love looking at baby stuff, I just hate paying for all of it. ;) Hopefully something happens soon! How long are they going to let you go?

Hubby and I will talk about circumcision again if this baby is a boy. We may change our mind. Hard to say.

I feel better this morning, thankfully. Not great, but better. At least I don't feel sick to my stomach anymore. Last night I felt terrible. It's supposed to be in the 50's here today so Hubby and I want to clean out our cars and vacuum them, but we will see. I'm not very motivated. We need to go to the cemetery to see little guy and to the grocery store because we are out of the basics... bread, milk, fresh veggies, and bottled water.. I'm not feeling it but we gotta eat! Speaking of which, another blood sugar over the limit this morning. Limit is 95, and mine as 96. How frustrating considering I was sick so nothing stayed around to be too sugary. Maybe that was the problem. I don't know, but it sure is disappointing/frustrating getting the high numbers despite counting carbs!
 
Sandy are you finding out the sex? If so when?
I got a positive opk this morning. I'm finally going to get photo shop downloaded on my computer it's been sitting here for a couple months.
 
Yeah we will. I don't have the ultrasound scheduled yet. We will probably schedule it at my next appointment which is the 17th. She doesn't like to do the anatomy scans until 20 weeks because she feels like everything is not fully developed until then. I'll be 20 weeks on May 9th. Hopefully I can schedule it the week before though. ;) Lol. We would find it out eventually I think, even if she didn't tell us. We had so many with our son (21) that we pretty much know what we are looking at. We will have lots and lots of ultrasounds with this baby, too. We have had 3. We will have one at 20 weeks, one a month until 32 weeks, then one a week until the baby is born. If they don't like what they see, then they schedule even more.

Yay for a positive OPK!! Sooooo excited/hopeful for you!!

I tried to drink a cappuccino this morning.. BLEH!! No go. :( Poured it out. I'd really like a little cup of coffee, but I can't stand the smell or the taste. I miss it.
 
We would have circ'd if we were having a boy. To each their own! Totally at mom and dads discretion only!

Katrina- so excited for you!! Are they doing bloods again this cycle?
 
Yes they are doing them on CD 24 instead of 21 I'm not sure why, my guess is so they can run a progesterone and hcg.
 
Katrina- yay for the positive opk!!

Sandy- have an apt tomorrow to see if I have dilated at all. If I have then will talk induction. If not then will have a c-section on Tuesday. Either way he will be here early next week!! You can buy coffee syrup or ice cream.. Maybe that will help!
 
Yay for a +OPK Katrina!! Rooting for you this cycle, it's so exciting!!

Sarah and any other later ladies.. I agree with the acupressure working (b/w thumb & forefinger), but NIP STIM is the best for contractions!!! I mean it doesn't even take much at all and you have regular contractions. Hubby even helped the other day for an hour (I was hoping for them to move her down/dilate me) but they fizzle out about 20 mins after you stop. But it definitely works like a charm, I couldn't believe it. Just roll one nip at a time, ~10 mins a side and you will be contracting like a champ!

We were going to circumcise Jaxon, I've never even seen an uncircumcised one so wouldn't want him to ever feel awkward/embarrassed about that. But yes, personal decision and I respect both sides!

Thanks ladies for the freezer ideas. Yesterday I spent some much needed time with grandparents, and had dinner with my dad who I haven't talked to in a year! What a weight off my chest. Grocery shopping today for freezer meals, fun fun!
 
Thanks!! Really hoping I have made some progress in the am! Maybe they will start inducing tomorrow!!
 
Tristan is much better. Thanks for asking :)

It sounds like in American circumcision is the "norm" whereas in the UK it's not even a question we are asked and is very rarely done.
 
Yes, it's definitely the norm in America. Before ever meeting my husband I never even questioned circumcision. But he is not circumcised, and after doing my research I truly do not see the need for it. However, i'm not one of those psycho woman who likes to call women who choose circumcision nasty things. I think it's sad how quick fellow moms are to jump on each other for their choices (circumcision, breastfeeding/bottle feeding, co-sleeping, etc). My dad, brother, nephew, and basically everyone on my mom's side of the family is circumcised and they have no issues.

FX for some progress Sarah!!!

Glad Tristan is feeling better BB! How are you feeling??

Sandy- Can't wait for you to find out gender! So exciting!

It's SO GORGEOUS here today and I am stuck inside at work for the next 5 hours. BOO!!
 
Yay for pos opk Katrina... Keeping my fingers crossed for u!!!

Sarah I hope uve dilated so they can start induction ... Evans gonna b here in no time :)

We would have no circumcised if we were having a boy... It's not common in our culture/religion... It's not even a topic of discussion... Well but obviously it a decision not for anyone else to make..

Afm nothing much happening here... We had a sleepover at a friends place which was fun... While having breakfast this morning one of the kids asked me y I was eating soo much... Eermm... Even the kids noticed...lol....today's agenda includes watching a lot of birthing class videos... We have our birthing class scheduled for next Saturday an 8 hr class... Soo not looking forward to the loooong duration... But as homework we have to watch videos... I really do t think in goin to watch any of the intense birthing videos... I'm kinda freaking out about giving birth and I don't think any of these videos r goin to help make me feel any better...
 
If it's progesterone it's going to be SUCH an easy fix BB! I am excited for the prospects of your rainbow BFP! <3 <3 <3

Sonia- that is a LONG class! Goodness! Tell the kiddies that you're eating for two ;) lol.
 
Good news for those of you that hate dark beer...i haven't seen an increase in my milk supply.
