I don't think your being cruel Nikki. Your her mom you know best.
Bb I can't believe you haven't gotten any results yet.
Brittney I hope af shows up on time. My friend sells pampered chef and loves it.
I am CD 12, so waiting to o. I feel fine, I had no side effects of femara this time. Was a little warm one night and that's it. Femara does wonders for cm, tons of ewcm this morning. I don't think it means a whole lot because it took 4 days for me to o after ewcm last cycle. We are continuing eod bd.
 
Katrina, fx! I hope this cycle is it for you!

Brittney, thanks! I hope your cycles are back to normal!!

Nikki, I don't think it's cruel. And obviously if you decide later she's hungry, it isn't like you won't feed her. She's your baby. You know her.

Anyone heard from Morgan?

I am a little frustrated by people saying that I need to have 2 kids. I do. Just one of them is in Heaven! It's not their decision. They don't walk in my shoes. They never lost a child. Stop telling me that! Is that so much to ask?!
 
Sandy, I find that people just ALWAYS have an opinion. You have just one and people are like "are you having another?!" But when you have two then suddenly they think thats ENOUGH and if you mention having three they think you are nuts! (from what i've gathered talking to friends and such). Just do what you guys feel comfortable with.

I go back and forth a LOT. DH wants 2-3 FOR SURE but the more I think about it, the more i'm wondering if maybe 1 will be good for us. I'm just not sure I want to strap ourselves financially with two. Who knows.. we'll see.

and Morgan has posted some super cute pics of Marley on facebook!
 
Good Luck Katrina!

I always said I wanted 3 children. My husband already has 2 boys who are 9 and 10 and since they've grown up (they were 1 and 2 when we first got together) I've changed my mind plus with the miscarriages etc I only want 2. The times we have the boys is so hectic and I find myself wanting home time to hurry up, I couldn't imagine how much harder it would be with 5 kids between us! I do want another (obviously) because I don't want Tristan to be an only child iykwim I mean? I know he has brothers but they don't live with us so at the moment it is like he's an only child most of the time.
 
I want 4 babies, Dh would be happy with 1 or 2. We will probably go his way financially and house wise we don't have a lot of room for more then a couple kids.
 
We don't even have a house! Right now we live in a small 2 bedroom apartment. I'm not sure when we will be able to afford a house, but I know it won't be while we have 2 car payments and they won't be gone for another 4-5 years. So It's like.. have another child, or buy a house. I'm just not sure.

DH always says he wants at least two, but then says "but i'm not the one who has to go through pregnancy" and that's true. This certainly hasn't been an awful pregnancy, butI know personally, I want to wait about 2.5 years before i'd try again. I dunno, everyone says i'll change my mind when I start seeing small babies after my baby is getting bigger.
 
I didn't change my mind Britt. I wasn't ready for another baby until just before Tristans 3rd birthday. Even then I had "OMG is the time right" moments!

We don't own our house, te property ladder is so hard to get onto in the UK without a massive deposit. Childcare is also ridiculous too so I guess in a way the timing is perfect for us now. Tristan starts school September 2015 so even if I fall pregnant this month we will only have 2 pay one lot of childcare because I get 9 months off work paid.
 
Well, it's a lot easier overseas for women. We only get 6 paid weeks here for maternity leave, and daycare can be pretty expensive. DH and I make pretty good money, but unfortunatley we both have new cars, and aren't really in a place to get rid of them. I only had 2 years left to pay on my car but my payment was $300 a month. When I found out I was pregnant, I had to refinance my car to get a lower payment because I knew we couldn't afford TWO $300+ car payments a month AND pay for daycare. So now my loan has been extended for another 5 years. *sigh*
 
Prior to my pregnancy with Leah I wanted like 5 or 6 kids. Now that I've gone through that pregnancy and c-section and am dealing with 2 little ones... I'm good with the 3 girls I have. Mentally, I couldn't handle any more and it wouldn't be fair to them. Plus... financially... we wouldn't be in a good position for another any time soon and I don't want to be raising kids TOO long, since I started having them at 18... I want to be able to have some freedom when I'm still young enough to enjoy it (in my 40s at least...) since I didn't get much of it during my 20s lol. Maybe take an adult vacation with OH... some day lol. Be able to get out of debt without the kids suffering too much, buy a home maybe... couldn't do that if we kept having kids.

Click to expand...

Yes I agree it is. I'm so thankful for my paid leave.
We are looking into extending our loan to get a new car because ours is costing us a fortune in repairs etc :( Sucks doesn't it!
 
Oh geez Sandy! That's awful!!!

Ashlee/ Sonia - You ladies are pretty close to me. How is your appetite? mine is GONE. I don't want to eat anything. I feel just yucky and I feel like my aversions are coming back. I weigh myself every monday and I didn't gain ANYTHING from last week. I'm exactly the same. This is the first time since 16 weeks, I haven't had a gain. This is going to be a long 7 weeks....
 
Well doc put Ellie on Zantac for reflux. I agree that's the problem. He said that if it's going to get bad, it gets bad around this age. He doesn't think it's the formula and said if she's no better in a week then he's putting her on Prevacid. Also she's up to 9 pounds!!
 
That's good news :) There's a local mom group I'm part of on FB and someone just posted about their baby's reflux (she's 3 months old I believe?) and said she's on Nutramigen, Zantac, does this and that but nothing seems to be helping. Everyone commented suggesting she switches to Prevacid as Zantac didn't help their babies.

So don't get too disheartened if the Zantac doesn't work and you need to move to Prevacid. Hannah was on Zantac as a baby and I don't remember it working. We never tried Prevacid though but I'd always heard it was the more effective out of the two for babies.

I can't wait to find out what Leah weighs now lol.
 
Glad you got some answers! Hope it works! I want to cry with reflux too. 4 days on and off alll day and night.. definitely sympathizing with her right now!
