TTC and Beyond!

[Lotalaughs16]

Morning Ladies!

Good Luck Morgan!!

Sandy, sorry you're still not feeling well. I am a HUGE worrier, about everything and anything my mind can find a reason to worry about. I have recently found that praying and truly believing in my faith has helped me let go of some of that control I "think" I have by worrying. Maybe journaling might help you, allow yourself a small amount of time out of your day to journal or even just think about what your worrying about. Set a timer and when your time is up, you can go on with your day. I tried that when I was in highschool/college...it helped a little.

Katrina, sorry about the temp drop. Maybe you'll be surprised and still get a BFP...if not at least your body is moving in the right direction and is having stronger O's.

Nikki, hope the mesh bumpers helped!

Morgan - EEEEK!!! I suppose you are already in the hospital by now! I'm going to be stalking all day long!!

Nikki- I hope the bumpers helped!

Afm- I had the most frustrating night in my entire life. I was only able to lay on my left side in bed last night and after a while it would make my hip hurt so bad, and my leg fall asleep! If I tried to lay on my back or right side I had a HORRIBLE pain in my stomach. I think it's how Harper is positioned. Finally I got up and went out and slept practically sitting up on the couch. I am exhausted. I have no idea how I will have any energy for labor if I can't get ONE good night's rest. I could just cry.

 

[Lotalaughs16]

aww sorry Britt, can you do anything to get her to change her position?

 

[Ingodshand]

Good luck Morgan!! Happy birthday Marley!!

 

[goldstns]

Go get em Morgan and Marley!

Happy birthday Marley!

Britt- I have no idea if I can change her position. I don't have any idea where she's at right now! If she's turning head down, i don't want to mess with it, but she's way up in my ribs and it HURTS! It only bothers me when i'm laying flat. During the day, it's not a big bother.

Britt, i know cat-cow yoga positions help to move baby sometimes.... i like to do them before i go to bed after i've been sitting for a while.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Thanks Mirolee! I've never done yoga in my life. Is this a hard pose? I will have to look it up! Most nights I can sleep fine, but she gets in the wierd positions and then i can't sleep!

 

[clynn11]

Britt sorry you're in such pain!! Zuri has been putting some intense pressure on the right side of my ribcage the past couple of weeks it can get intense sometimes. I wish I could reach in there and move her lol.

Morgan!!!! Eeeeeek!!!! Holy crap lady you could be pushing a baby out right now!! Keeping you in my thoughts , am so so excited for you!

Afm, had my first draw about 40 min. Ago. Passed the fasting draw so that's good lol. Just drank my drink and getting more bloods drawn in an hour. Then again an hour after that and then freedom and FOOD!!! lol

 

[HWPG]

it's so easy, you've probably already done it and not known.
get on hands and knees - cat pose is: rounded back, chin to chest, tuck your tail bone in, exhale completely. you want to be compressed. cow pose is: arched back, chin to sky, tail bone in air/butt in air, inhale completely. you want to be stretched. repeat several times. try to feel the stretch under your ribs and in your tailbone for each move.

So sorry you're feeling down Katrina-that bfp will come!! Xo Will they be refilling your femara if AF shows?

Morgan- thinking about you momma, you're going to do great!!

Nikki- the dog has been much better!! He is definitely resentful of us right now, I had to sit on the kitchen flood with him for a half hour today to get him to eat. But he's good and gentle around the baby. He's always the first one to run up and check on her when she fusses!

Britt- I was going to suggest getting on all fours for a bit. I found this worked a lot of the time I was uncomfortable! When I was in labor Makyala literally was helping push herself out. Everytime I contracted she would push off my rib cage with her feet. Ouch!! But I thank he for the 23 minutes of pushing!! Lol

Cass- glad its going well so far, hang in there girly!!

Ashlee- meant to say those pictures are absolutely stunning!! You're so lucky to get those right at work with people who are going to be patient and really wait for the perfect shot, it shows!!

Hey pretty ladies, been here since 6 and I'm soooooo hungry :/ They used the foley cath to get me to 4 and then lowest dose of Pitocin got me to 6cm! She said she's coming back in to check me at 3 but I have ZERO PAIN just the same stupid contractions I've had all month! I am having a great time minus being hungry. Going to tell fam to come at 4.. Somehow I successfully warded off MIL and only DH and my sister have been here with me all day. It's really relaxing, perfect atmosphere, I'm nervous for other ppl to come and ruin the vibe :/

Ummmm I guess that's all I've got for now. Slept about 2 hours lastnight so I should prob sleep but it's too exciting!! Lol. I expect she'll be here by about 8 pm, but we'll see. Will update soon! They might be breaking my water at 7 to move things along but not sure. So 6cm no pain at all and life is good.. Can't wait to hold my smushy

Thanks Kara! They're really such awesome people and he's a great photographer. We were really fighting the setting sun for those pictures though lol. I'll see if I can post a couple more for you guys later.

AHHH Morgan I'm so excited for you!!! She's gonna be here so soon! Can't wait to see her adorable little face

Afm, apt later today. These days always seem to drag on. I just want to go hear her little heart beat again! 50 days to go!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Sooooo exciting, Morgan!! So happy to hear its going smoothly!!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Good luck Morgan!
Spotting has started, I put a call into my Dr requesting a refill. I hope they up my dose. I don't feel as bad about af as usual. I think it helps that Dh isn't home because I feel worse when I see him.
