TTC and Beyond!

[wavescrash]

good luck tomorrow Morgan!! hope you don't have to wait too long for the sweep to kick things into (higher) gear.


A bit of good news for me --- I think I posted this morning about trying to figure out a way to return to work. We only have 1 car and work in different towns and the girls would likely go to separate babysitters so it just wouldn't work. My dad has 2 cars but only uses the 1 and I decided to ask if we could borrow it until we got a second vehicle of our own and he agreed

Yay that's awesome Amanda.
I backed into a tractor today with the pickup. luckily there wasn't any damage. I don't want to tell Dh though.

 

[HWPG]

haha, K, i have *def* hidden things for a couple days from OH when i did something similar. maybe tell him tomorrow
morgan, be careful eating before going in. i know it sounds tempting by i had a gf who ate and ended up puking during her surgery. i'm *not* saying this would happen to you, bu ti would hate for you to be puking up your favorite steak and mashed potatoes while trying to get marley out!
baby K has been quiet for a while. i had a cookie for lunch, so i'm hoping he'll start making some... oh! got a movement. nevermind.

 

[morganwhite7]

LOL Mirolee how'd you know I'd pick steak and potatoes?! Haha. I agree though... and not even during surgery but I have heard the transition stage and late labor can really make you sick/shaky feeling. Esp me, I'm a big wuss. So maybe something light would be a smarter option

Oh no Katrina, LOL at not wanting to tell DH, I wouldn't want to either.. Just preface the conversation with "there was NO DAMAGE but......." haha he'll be alright. Also those temps look nice and high, bet it feels good not stressing over them. I have such high hopes for you and Femara.. I can't wait to see what happens.

Waves- That is grrreat news about the car!! How soon do you plan on going back to work? Or maybe just part-time for now?

Hey Just got back to the electronic world after not having internet access for 4 days. Lots has happened! Been into L&D twice, for constant non stop contractions. I am still dilated to about 2-3 and cervix is thin. Back home, praying I can at least make it to 35 weeks. Baby is at a 0 station, aka in between my legs!!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Fx you make it another week Molly!

 

[HWPG]

cross those legs molly!

 

[MrsAmk]

I seriously need to, just walking around my house/being up feels like a bowling ball is falling out

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Glad to hear all is okay Molly! We were starting to get worried about you!!

Morgan - I sure hope this works tomorrow!! I'll be thinking of you! and I'll keep an eye on the BH.. I don't get them TOO often, but it seems like if I stand for too long, is when I get them (and I THINK that's what is happening. My stomach gets REAL tight, and I need to sit down to make it feel better). Last night I was doing a lot in the nursery when I got one and I had to sit down. It goes away as soon as i'm sitting.

 

[asmcsm]

Glad to hear you're okay Molly and that your little man is still cooking. Hopefully he stays put a little longer!

AFM, just leaving my sisters scan. It's a boy!!!!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Yay Ashlee boys sure are running wild in your family!

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks ladies. Checked for a uti but that was negative. Still sore throat and such. Ick.

Yay Ashlee!! Good news

Katrina, oops! On the bright side, your chart looks great!! Fx SO tight! Are you going to test?

Molly, praying your little man stays in a bit longer!

Morgan, hope all goes well! Yes the weathertime was awful herefor tiday! Cold, snowy, sleety, yucky!I agree with Mirolee about eating though.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Maybe after I get my progesterone numbers, if they come back normal. My chart high temps are a lot more stable then normal usually they fluctuate a lot.

I was thinking 2nd or 3rd week in May if they would be okay with that. But then I was talking to my sister today and apparently the store has changed so much since I was gone. Our store manager and HR manager were fired nearly 2 mths ago (which I knew about) and our new HR manager is very strict and by-the-books. And then as a company, Target's changed as well so nothing (schedule-wise or task-wise) would be the same when I returned. I'm a brand merchandising team member which means I have a specific role in the clothing department but apparently now, they will schedule you in any department regardless of job title. On the plus side, I would never get scheduled as a cashier because my sister is a manager up front by the registers/guest service and she's not allowed to oversee me lol. I just don't know what kinda hours I'd get. I used to work 2-10:30 every Monday and then 8-4:30 other days during the week and then every other weekend (and those weekends I'd alternate opening and closing.) But apparently now, that's not at all how shifts are scheduled so I don't know how to manage childcare with a non-set schedule.

Our HR manager closes tomorrow and then my immediate manager closes Thursday so I think I'm going to go up each night and talk to them both and see what can be done. Then I've talked to several local moms that provide in-home childcare so hopefully one of them can handle Leah and my schedule and then hopefully my Mom will watch Hannah. Otherwise I have NO idea how I can go back to work but I need to otherwise we'll never make ends meet. I was banking on pulling in an extra $900-1000 a month with Target but now I have no idea. I'm browsing Craigslist for jobs and finding nothing. I have no experience outside of retail.

AFM, just leaving my sisters scan. It's a boy!!!!

Hahahah yay! Congrats

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

yay Ashlee for another boy!!! talk about lucky!!!

 

[frsttimemama]

Katrina, I was thinking the same thing. When is the progesterone test?

Waves, good luck!

Thursday morning at 8 am.

Hi girls!! I am finally back and I am so sorry to have left you all hanging! Thanks so much for sharing my announcement Julie! The hospital stay was such a blur and everytime I had a free second someone would come in my room! I tried reading back through everything that I missed, but there are over 35 pages so I will never make it through. Did I miss any major announcements? I heard on facebook that Julie had her babies! Has she posted any pics?

Morgan- I am so excited for you! I hope the sweep works and you have little Marley in your arms!

Amanda- So glad you are feeling better and the D&C was not that bad. Hopefully that will help with the healing process.

Molly- I pray your little one stays put a little longer and you can relax once he is in your arms. The time will be here before you know it.

To everyone else, thanks for all your sweet words of congratulations. Evan is so wonderful and I still can't believe that he is here! Attached are a few pics from our first week!

Kara had her baby yesterday too! It was a baby day here.
Love his pictures he's adorable.
