TTC and Beyond!

Aww injections are horrible! Glad she's growing well :)

The attached picture is the first injection I gave myself :lol:
Tonight's was a bit tougher, I couldn't seem to get it to pierce my skin! They aren't actually that bad, they don't hurt too much and in a silly kind of way I like doing them, I feel like I'm doing some to help and give our baby a better chance to grow.

Don't hate me....

I just pumped 11oz in one session (it was 3 hr after she ate off me and it was morning)!!!! I am no longer taking the magic pill, just because I ran out and I don't think it was helping by the end....however I DID change my membranes!
 
That's awesome Nikki-I swear the membranes make a huge difference!

Rachel-it's SO gross, first thing I did when I got home was taste it! I just squirt the 0.5ml in though, she makes a face but it goes down. How much is Ellie taking? Makaylas on 0.5ml 2x a day.

Bb-ouch, you poor thing! Youll get used to it and better at giving it in no time, I'm sure!! Who can blame you for having a but of a hard time?? It's like throwing a dart into yourself!
 
I was pushing but it just didn't want to go in :rofl: It's not to bad to do to be honest. I'm already getting used to doing it!

Still not feeling pregnant so I'm really nervous :(
 
is it possible somehow for the baby to irritate your cervix? I guess that sounds silly because she's in a sac of fluid..

but Harper got really active this afternoon and it was pretty painful (i'm pretty sure she completely changed positions) and while all this was going on, I was getting kicks or punches to the cervix. The sensation was wierd and made me keep closing my legs tight! I'm pretty sure however it wasn't my bladder becasue it didn't make me feel like I had to pee. Anyway... now my lady parts feel.. burny?? Like they are irritated. It's so strange. It started right after all the movement. I guess it's probably nothing, but wierd!
 
Britt I bet they can irritate it a little bit.
Happy birthday waves.
Afm nothing exciting going on here. I'm going garage saling for my brother, the morel hunting, which we will cook with home grown steaks tonight.
 
Mushroom picking Katrina??? That's SO neat!! Ugh, id love to live in the country!

Happy bday Waves!

Britt-might be your little girl just nesting down in there. I think any kind of pressure/jabs/sensation down there is probably pretty normal at this point as long as there's no lasting pain, fluid, or blood. She's just getting ready to make her debut!
 
I hope that's what it is! I wish she'd drop already! She's been living in my ribs, and it's SO uncomfy!
 
Yep morels are little mushrooms they have a short picking time. But are delicious.
 
Omg katrina. What a nasty cow bag. Are you testing today ?
Britt I think babas can irritate the cervix. Mine have been feeling a bit uncomfortable .
Bb that looks sore. You'll get symptoms soon enough. It just takes time.
Awww poor babies having injections. Its worth it though to stop them catching nasty things. I cant believe how fast all your little ones are growing.
 
I never really "dropped", I have a short torso though so she really had no where to go! Lol
 
Kara - she takes 1 ml 2x a day. The dr said once she gets to 12 lbs that he will prob have to increase her dose.

Nikki that is awesome! I haven't pumped in a few days bc I've been ebf.
 
I'm not tall (5'3") but I think my torso is normal. My best friend said she never dropped either, so maybe I shouldn't hold my breath for that! LOL.
 
Britt, I never dropped either, but I was induced at 39 weeks. He was also 21.5" long so I don't know that he really had anywhere to go. I have a tall torso, too. Hopefully your burny sensation is just stretching things and getting ready for her to make her appearance when it's time.

Katrina, that is absolutely ridiculous. What a witch. I don't really think she can do that. Time for a new job! I wish I liked morels. I like mushrooms, but not those. At least I Don't think I do. I always thought there were gritty, but my dad told me the other day that what I'm thinking of being gritty are another kind. So I'll try them again the next time I get the opportunity. I saw a store selling them for $49.99 a pound recently. Isn't it crazy how expensive they are!?

BB, where are you doing your injections? I think I remember you saying your leg? What about on your belly? It's subcutaneous right?

Kara, I hope that helps and she feels better!

Rachel, I can't believe how fast she's growing! Holy moly!

I survived my first drive in the city by myself. I'm beat. Driving 4.5 hours alone in one day is a lot. Lol. I talked to my dad for a long time though, which was nice. I don't talk to him much anymore. He never calls or texts. I'm not sure why. We're fairly close. I need to start calling him on my way to work once or twice a week or something. Hubby is out of town camping/fishing with the guys for the night and tomorrow so I'm just hanging out with the dog. I should clean, but I'm exhausted and my feet and ankles are swollen so I'm just hanging out in the recliner, pinteresting. Haha. I'm making stuffed cabbage casserole type thing. I just browned the hamburger with garlic, chopped up my cabbage, added tomato juice, seasoned it to taste, and am letting it simmer. Super easy and super yummy and my blood sugar should be okay with it. It's so cold outside today, so it will be nice.

I'm not really sure where to start to start getting things ready for the baby. Clean out the room? Sort through things? Wash it all? Wait? Shop? I still need to take the rest of the letters off the wall from our last baby and put away the things with his name on them and pull out the memorial things. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them, but I don't want to put them away. It feels like I'm brushing him under the rug kinda. I'm not sure how to be excited about this baby without feeling like I'm being a traitor to him. Does that make any sense? And I'm scared, too. I want to take a lot of the decoration off and do something kinda different. Hubby found a thick tree decal with just a few leaves and a jungle theme (which we had going for our first son) that he likes so I Think we're going to go with that. Anyone know where we can find one? I looked at etsy and amazon for a long time, but there is lots more to look at.
 
And another question for you mamas: how many outfits do you go through a day? Just curious trying to figure out how many clothes we need and whatnot. We have more summery stuff and need to adjust what we have for a fall/winter baby instead of a summer baby.
 
It just depends Sandy. Sometimes she keeps her outfit clean all day, sometimes she pukes in it as soon as I put it on her. I'm probably not a good one to ask bc Ellie has too many clothes lol.
 
I agree...hard question sandy...but id say 1-3 outfits/day....usually when we get to outfit 3 its in the evening and I just put her pjs on. Usually I'll use the same pjs for like 3 nights
 
Thanks :) Just trying to get a feel for how much stuff we need, if we have too much already or need to get more.
 
Glad you survived your trip Sandy.
I went out garage sailing while Dh looked for mushrooms, I got some deals he didn't find much, just one actually. I got some shirts, and found my mom an awesome light.
