TTC and Beyond!

[Cowgirl07]

Love the pics Cassidy
Nikki I hope she sleeps well especially this weekend.

I am 99% sure she's teething! Dh and I think what we feel on the top of her mouth is her first tooth. Its hard, sharp and lumpy. Its just weird cuz its early and her top, but I think my brothers baby boy was the same (4 months and top first). I read it might be genetic. Anyways, not counting my blessings, but she's finally napping (hasn't napped all day) and I gave her gum gel. Tonight shell get Tylenol too.

Hope you figured it out Nikki and that you both get a good nights rest tonight!

Glad you figured it out.

hi sweet things!
sorry to have been absent. i do keep up with the reading, i just cant always comment. today, we had a new person start, and since she's "replacing" me while i'm on maternity leave, the training is 1 on 1. which means i didnt even poop til i got home at 6pm!
so, i took the plunge and made an appointment to get a Brazilian - and i'm so nervous, ha! seriously, it's been described a few times to me and i just cant get the image of my bare bum/downtown in someone's face while they wax and strip me! but i'm not the first they've seen, so.... maybe i can just wear headphones or something, hehe. i also have a chiro appt the same day, and i just purchased two groupons for Prenatal Massages and one for a pedi. i am totally taking advantage of these last 12 weeks with pampering!
Alek is a crazy mover - today he was kicking me in my right rib while punching me in my left kidney. and i was in a 2 hour meeting so i couldnt be all touchy-pushing my belly, so i just had to kind of sit thru it - amazing, but occasionally surprisingly painful.
katrina, your chart is looking so lovely. i hope it has a happy ending! and thank you for alwasy stopping in to my journal; you are unbelievably sweet.
for all you mamas, it's so nice to be able to have resources to lean on when our babies get here. cant wait!

Mirolee- just a heads up from my eye brow waxing experience....it hurts worse to get waxed when preggo.

 

[HWPG]

yes, i've heard this. i'm hoping they do some sort of numbing spray first... rumor has it thats what happens... actually, i was going to go spinning afterwards, think i should skip? it might make for an angry, angry kitty! i might take tylenol in advance also.

Where are Cassidy, Ashlee, Mirolee, and Sonia? haven't heard anything lately!

I'm here, just been super slammed at work so I haven't really been keeping up the way I used to. Worked 3 overtime days last week yuck.

next Thursday when af is due. Unless I pick up tests before then, or I find some hidden in my cupboard.

Eeeek! Can't wait for you to test! Your chart is looking amazeballs!

Same to you Ash, WTF, Lux is gonna be here so very soon! Can't wait for more baby pics to fill up my fb and instagram feeds ladies!

AFM, had a 3D scan today. My placenta is always in the way and baby girl was turned more towards my back so we didn't get the GREATEST pics, but we still got some pretty good ones and I absolutely love seening my little girl.. it always makes my day Here's a few pics. Other than that, I've been feeling pretty good and have a check up appt. tomorrow where they just do the basics. We got Zuri's changing table sanded and painted and have just been getting stuff done around the house to prepare! 29 weeks on Friday, woohoo!

I know, its seriously unreal that she's due to be here in less than a month. Loved looking at your pics, sooooo hoping that Lux's face is visible for a 3D pic at my apt tomorrow. Not totally looking forward to the GBS test though lol. I love how our dr office rewards us with ultrasounds when we have to take unpleasant tests like GBS and GD lol. What time's your apt? Mines at 3

I would skip the spin class lol. I don't think sweating down there would be pleasant after being waxed lol


AFM, I've been working my ass off. Such a busy time at work. I sit at a desk most of the day since I'm an editor/designer so when I get up my pelvis is sooooo stiff and sore. It's getting harder to walk. Also, when I walk I feel my spine like popping in and out of my pelvis, it's not a great feeling. Just hoping this little girl decides to come sooner rather than later. I'd be good with 38 weeks lol. Was talking to my mom and she said that she had both my sisters on their due dates and I was within 2 days of mine, so we'll see. Interested to see if I've started dilating at all at my apt tomorrow.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Good luck with that Mirolee.
Ashlee I'm sorry your so uncomfortable.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Good to hear all is well Mirolee!!

Ashlee- Sucks that you are working so much over time! I can't believe how close you are! It's so crazy!

afm- heartburn city this morning. I have to take zantac every morning now to be able to eat breakfast, but I waited too long this morning so now i'm suffering until it kicks in. 39 more days for me.!

 

[Lotalaughs16]

Morning Ladies,

BFN yesterday, which I expected...hopefully AF shows herself sometime in the next couple days and we can move on to the next cycle...only 2 more cycles until we start TTC again!!

Mirolee, yay for scheduling a brazilian...I would not go to spin after but that's a personal preference...it wont hurt anything.

Cassidy, cute pics!

Ashlee, sorry you're uncomfortable, have you tried sitting on an exercise ball instead of a chair?

Britt, hope the Zantac kicks in quickly for you

Nikki, omg I can't believe we're already talking about teething!! She's growing up so fast

Katrina, your chart looks great...I putting all my eggs in your basket lol

BB, praying for you, I'm so glad you have some answers and a plan of action

Sandy, how are you? still hot and humid? Hope your feeling better

 

[goldstns]

She is growing up soooo fast... teeth and starting solid foods! AHHHHH!

 

[frsttimemama]

Mirolee, you're so brave. Lol. I'd skip the spin afterward. I think I read in cosmo that it can cause rashy-ness.

Ashlee, boo for OT! Sorry you're miserable! Hope you see lots today!

Britt, heartburn sucks! She will be here soon!!

Cassidy, glad you're doing well. I think we are going to name him Brody, short for Broderick.

Nikki, hard to believe she is teething and starting solid food! Did she sleep better?

Morgan & Molly, how are you guys? And babies?

Brittney, yay that's exciting! It's about 50 these days and yes, much better! Thanks!

I feel like I am not excited enough. I am thrilled but scared and it just feels like deja vu. Lots of deep.breaths!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Sandy - I love Brody! That's so cute!

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks. Hubby picked it, and I loved it!

 

[goldstns]

Sandy- LOVE the name!! YAY! two nights ago I got woken up every 90 min. Last night I got two 2 hour stretches and one 3 hour stretch... so Id say a bit better. But the better part was that she wasn't as fussy when putting her down after she woke up. However, diarrhea can also accompany teething and for her it is! So one of her wake ups was just because she pooped all over herself. The second wake up was food and 4/5 hours after she had Tylenol so I gave her more. Then she was awake a little before her normal wake up for the day and we just gave her paci back to her... eventually she passed out.

 

[clynn11]

Mirolee, you are brave! Lol. I don't think I could get waxed down there. I don't even get my eyebrows waxed so idk.. i'm a baby LOL! Good luck! I hope it isn't nearly as painful as i'm imagining!!

Ash- Sorry you're in pain hun. It'll all be over and she will be here SO SOON! My appt. was at 8.50. Have fun at yours! Excited to see if you're dilating at all!

Britt- 39 days! So exciting!!!

Brittney- Boo for BFN! But yay for actively TTC in two cycles!! Keeping everything crossed!

Nikki- Sounds like teething is def. the culprit! Glad you got some better sleep!

Sandy- I love Brody too. Adorable!

 

[Kiamaria83]

Sandy. Cute name.
Nikki. I remember teething so well. Elliott started at 3 months and it was horrid. High temp, sloppy nappy, rash, runny nose and screaming. You can get these powder sachets that you drop on their gums which work wonders. Although the best was baby ibuprofen . It helped him settle at night. She seems to be growing so fast.
Cass great piccies.

What do you girls think of the name Elise for a girl ? My maiden name was valentine so thinking elise valentine would be nice ?

 

[brunettebimbo]

Colette I like it

Sandy I like Brody

 

[Cowgirl07]

Awe Brody and Elise are adorable names!
Afm work sucked but at least my dog is behaving and cuddling with me.
