TTC and Beyond!

[CantHrdlyWait]

Wow BB. I am so glad you got answers. It might sound scary, but this is what you needed to know! This will be your rainbow baby!

and Sandy - It's supposed to be 90 degrees here in Maryland today. I get so SICK of all the people saying to me "Well, at least you don't have to be pregnant in the HOT months" Well... it's already been in the 70's and 80's. Plus, I am perma hot from all the extra blood. Maybe I'm just cranky but I want to punch everyone who tells me that.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Haha Britt-you're at the stage where you basically just want to punch anyone that says anything other than, "can I get you something??"!! Almost there momma! How's the swelling/headaches been?

Bb-wow! So so glad you got an answer and that they can treat it!! I know it just be scary but comforting to know they'll be proactive this time and take good care of you!!

Morning ladies...I forgot to test lol but its been about a 3 hour hold now that I'm at work so I think I have one pee stick in the bathroom here I will try...I had some serious cramping last night so I'm thinking maybe AF is on her way.

I had a crazy dream last night where it was a mix of Me and Katrina testing and there was a BFP and a due date of March 10! I haven't looked at the due date calculator yet but I'm hoping that's a sign for you katrina!!

BB, I'm so gad you have some answers

Britt, sorry you're so hot and uncomfortable...you're in the home stretch mama!!

 

[frsttimemama]

Lol Britt, I hear you! Kara is right. I was hot and miserable last time and I already am this time at barely over halfway. These hormones and hot flashes are really something! Hubby took me out for an icecream cone yesterday on our way shopping/running errands which was nice! I sip icewater all the time and turn down the AC as much as possible. How are your headaches and swelling?

I was getting dressed today, and discovered how few things fit these days. Gonna havev to shop a tad. I don't want to buy much, but I think I will have to get a few items. I had a headache all day yesterday! It finally got better after I went to bed. Wowza! By the way, I think I can eat pineapple. Yum! Blood sugar was ok this morning. I am so craving fruit lately!

 

[frsttimemama]

Brittney, I hope AF shows soon for you! Hopefully cycles get back to normal soon.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Hahaha.. thanks ladies! You make me feel LESS like a crank ass. It's true though. I am already burning up.. then add 80 degrees and nasty humidity on top of it and I pretty much just want to punch everyone. haha.

My swelling has been awful! yesterday I drank almost 10 glasses of water to try to counter it, but at this point, I'm not sure i'll be able too. Good news is the last two times we took my BP it was well within normal range!! Took it last night and it was 113/78, and at the doctors last week it was 110/72 or something like that! yay!

 

[Ingodshand]

Bb- so glad you have a diagnosis and treatment plan!!!

Britt- can't imagine how you are feeling. I am so hot and not preggers!!

Waves- my dh can be so lazy. My dad actually has to do some yard work because he will never so it. However if it is something he wants to do then if gets done that day.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Lol that's funny maybe it's a good sign for both of us.
Bb I'm glad you have answers and it's treatable.

Thanks ladies. He eventually said never mind about the concert ticket and then awhile later text me again and said "screw it, just order it... I'll try to pick up extra hours at work." So I told him that's fine but we couldn't go to the baseball game Friday... and then I could have killed him.

He said "I didn't know we were going to a game." I reminded him we were going for my birthday. I was going to ask my mom to babysit and reminded him we'd literally JUST been talking about it recently. I was seething mad that he forgot. He replied saying "Well if we were going to the game, we're going to the game. I can always try to get the ticket next week (he gets paid weekly.)" I told him that's not the point, we'll skip the game and he can go to his concert. He said "Forget the show, we'll go to the game. It's your birthday present. You deserve it." I told him it obviously wasn't important since he forgot and I don't want him throwing it in my face later on that I went to a couple concerts over the last year but he hasn't gotten to go or had to skip this one. Then he got home from work and said we'll go to the game. I stopped arguing back at that point. He was being really nice after that. Asked what I wanted for dinner, offered to make pasta (lol, no thanks) and dealt with the kids. Then we had a long and nasty storm with 2 tornado warnings. Fortunately there were no tornadoes to actually touch down or do damage but there's mass flooding around NE Ohio.

In other news, I got my first postpartum AF today

 

[Cowgirl07]

Glad the tornadoes left you alone. Sorry about af.

 

[frsttimemama]

So frustrating Waves! Glad you guys are safe!

 

[goldstns]

Waves- where is the flooding? My family is in Beachwood and Shaker Hts. Is it near there? Maybe I should call my fam. Glad you all are safe! Also, do the price of concert tix go up next week? If not, tell him to get them next week.

Thanks ladies.

The flooding is mostly in the southeast portion of our county (same county as Beachwood and Shaker Hts) and the 2 counties right below us... but I don't think they got hit as bad up there. But I'm not 100% sure about the flooding because the whole NE Ohio had a ton of rain from 6:30pm until after midnight last night. So it might be worth a call to check in on them.

No, they won't go up in price. I'm just not 100% certain we can afford both the concert and game in our budget for the month because we splurged and went out to dinner the other night with Hannah and that cost so much money.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Wow Amanda- I swear men conveniently forget things sometimes. I hope you still get to go to the game!

 

[wavescrash]

Thanks.

He's the most forgetful person ever. He always says he has the worst memory yet whenever I remind him he's already told me something or I told him something... he INSISTS he or I never said it before and gets mad about it lol. Then I remind him he says himself he has a horrible memory so how does he know and he just gets more mad lol. Whatever.

 

[wavescrash]

Finally took Leah's 2 month picture and Hannah's 2 year picture!

 

[frsttimemama]

So cute!

 

[frsttimemama]

Okay ladies, I swear this baby is growing because I am starving all the time. I eat and I am soon hungry again. What has worked for you? I've tried yogurt and fruit, nuts and fruit, peanut butter sandwich and milk, cheese and crackers, meat and veggies, etc. Thoughts?

 

[brunettebimbo]

Sandy what about carbs and protein?

Just been to get my injections and sharps box. I couldn't do it. Haha. I got the nurse to do it. The needle didn't hurt but the liquid did. I'm not sure how I'm going to manage that every day for the next 10 months but I will!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Sandy- when I was hungry, nothing specific tamed it. I just ate until I finally felt full. Even when I ate things full of protein, I'd still be hungry 20 minutes later.

BB- I can't imagine, but i'm sure you'll start to get used to it!
