TTC and Beyond!

[CantHrdlyWait]

That's awesome Mirolee. I figure it just affected her differently. I never had any problem with hormonal birth control until the very end

I'd say nuva. If I were to go on something it would be nuva. How about condoms, I know they don't feel as good, but it will also help with std's just in case.

I loved nuvaring. Couldn't go on it while bf though. I'm on the mini pill. It's Progesterone only.

Kara - the lc at the hospital had me use a nipple shield bc of Ellie being so small. Now that's all she will use. My nips are still in great shape. Just a thought. I use the medela one.

I had the implant before Leah and will be getting it again. I love it.

 

[morganwhite7]

Hmmm I will never do pills again either bc they made me a raging bitch.. but mini pills? That sounds good to me.. will have to look into that.

Will have to look into Nuvaring for after BF too.. I guess mini pill would be the best bet while BFing though...

I have nip shields too, my MW said not to use it til they're accustomed to the boob though. But they're so cool all silicone and natural feeling, I don't know why anyone would ever put up with a bleeding nip.. I can't even imagine :/

 

[RobertRedford]

Nuvaring made me a raging, antisocial hormonal bitch. But, pregnancy made me an even bigger one..soo...

I have taken mini pills before with no issue, it just scares me that you have to take it at the exact same time very day, more than 3 hours late and you have to use backup protection...

I only have ever used the depo shot so not sure what anything else is like lol.

My mom got my invites for the baby shower they're throwing myself and my sister! I love it! She did a good job, I left it up to her since she was paying for them!

 

[Disneybaby26]

I loved the nuvaring too, I don't think ill take bc again bc I hate the way it screws your body up but if I ever did I would definitely go back to that!

Also-I asked DH if I pooped-his response "nope, but you peed a little"-I can handle that LOL!!

Rachel- I thought of the shields but honestly I just didn't like nursing. The pumping/bottle feeding is so much faster and DH can help/feed her too and I know exactly how much she's getting. Exclusively pumping just makes everything better all around for me and doc said there's no difference. My science brain knows the breast milk is best so I'm def gonna keep pumping, especially if my supply stays like it is! (plus its my 20 minutes of quiet time every 3-4 hours)!

Cassidy- invites are so cute! Love them!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Love the invites Cassidy!
Walked a mile and a half with Dh tonight. My back still is bugging me, we had a long talk about the in laws and how uncomfortable they made me Sunday. So I'm not sure how much I will be seeing them.

Re: brazilians...love them! (both kinds....lol hubby is brazilian) Just go for it Mirolee...the first time is awkward for a second but then you get over it real quick.

Kara, thanks for sharing...glad things went relatively smoothly, except the throwing up part. She is absolutely precious!

Cassidy, cute invites...I wish we all lived closer and could attend each others showers. Also, I think you asked about my cycle...I'm currently on CD 16 haven't been tracking anything except the number of days in my cycle. I think July we will start "trying" again. Right now we are working on the house- putting in new hardwood, fixing trim, windows, paint, fixing ceiling, etc. For now I'm just rooting all you preggos on, and getting so excited now that babies are showing up!

Morgan, saying an extra long prayer for you tonight for a safe and uneventful VBAC tomorrow!!

Katrina, sorry about your sore back...have some wine...or a bottle, that always helps me feel no pain lol

Amanda RR -- so happy you are feeling back to yourself. There is someone waiting to be with you and have a family with you and its just not time yet...enjoy your cabo trip...I'm super jelous

Nikki, Alia is getting sooo big! shes absolutely adorable

and here's the latest pic of my baby lol!...

 

[Cowgirl07]

I won't drink until af comes.
Love zara she looks so happy.

 

[Lotalaughs16]

I'll have an extra glass for you then...

...Zara is passed out on the kitchen floor now, she's had so many puppy play-dates she's so exhausted

 

[Cowgirl07]

Thanks besides I'm out of wine and don't want to go up town to buy more I love my couch to much

 

[goldstns]

Zara is adorable!!

Britt ( I think) or was it Kara..... how is your dog since he was acting up?

 

[goldstns]

Dh went out and bought the mesh bumpers....hopefully she won't get mad in the middle of the night

 

[clynn11]

FX for a good night's sleep for Alia and you Nikki!

Morgan- you most be rolling in bed right now! Ahhh so excited for you!

 

[brunettebimbo]

I had to use nipple shields at one point. They were good but are a nightmare to wean off!

Good Luck today Morgan.

 

[frsttimemama]

Sorry I haven't been on much the last couple days. I did read thru though.

Morgan, praying for you all today! Cannot believe after all of it, it's finally time to hold your take home baby

Zara is so cute

Hope the mesh bumpers work!

Afm, still not 100%, but feeling a little better finally. Been busy, too! Starting to get nervous about my c-section already.. I know it is quite a ways away, but I am more nervous about it and getting this baby outta there since that is where it all went south last time.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Good luck today Morgan!
Afm another low temp I assume af will be here shortly. I also woke up with my typical headache.
