TTC and Beyond!

Nikki, she's so cute! Love the shades!

Mirolee, that's a good idea. I wonder if you could put it in a smoothie and get the same results? How are you doing?

Katrina, your chart looks absolutely awesome.!! Have fun shopping!

You can also try prune juice... Doesn't taste that bad and it works amazing when you are stopped up!

Happy Sunday ladies!

Well todays the day Alia is starting "solids". We are starting with rice cereal. I'd like to give it to her around noon. If she does well I'll try another helping around 6pm (before bed). I'm wonder if her sleeping issues are because she hungry. If so hopefully this helps!

What chart I don't even want to get excited about it.
Nikki I hope it works well for her.

 

[frsttimemama]

Katrina, I don't blame you, but I'm excited for you! Fx!

Nikki, that's so exciting! I hope it helps!

Anyone doing anything exciting today?

Hi girls. It's beem another hot day. Been to the beach and had donkey rides. Elliott now wants a donkey for christmas! Katrina im dying for you to test !

 

[frsttimemama]

That sounds fun ladies! It's sunny and beautiful here today. Not too hot, not too cold. I imagine we will be doing yard work. He needs to mow, (He won't let me mow since I'm pregnant and it's so rough and bumpy) and I'll probably weed something. I want to go take some grass seed out to little man's grave. Hubby wants to go to the grocery store, too. I'm doing laundry and hanging it out on the line. I love love love fresh, line dried laundry! When he gets up, I'm going to wash our sheets. And get started cleaning. I've been quiet as long as I can. Lol.

Good here. Yesterday was our birthing class. Not sure if birthing is for me anymore. The options are natural, epi, c section (grand speaking). Those three equal pain, catheter, general anesthesia (in order). So, I'm thinking he can just stay inside and I'll home school him hehe. But seriously, the class did scare me a bit. Im not really worried about many big things - clothes, space, sleep, money - but man, I'm worried about delivery. And it's not that I'm not worried about those other things, but I can do something with those. I can't really do much with delivery. It just happens. So. There's that. OH did great, although we were both a bit bored, as the woman was quite the rambler. Then we met friends out for dinner and dessert - dim sum and gelato. Omg, it was so gooooood. The food, yes, but moreover the evening with our friends. They are simply lovely.
Today is low key. I vaccuumed and OH and I went for a walk. He is leaving for work for the week, so I'm making play dates and food ideas for myself. And my gf is having her c section tomorrow, so I'll be going to visit her maybe Wednesday in the hospital and the babies. Excited for that.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Honestly Hun, birth is very painful but it is also an amazing experience! I swore I'd never get over mine but I did and I'm ready to do it again!

Mirolee-Hopefully c-section doesn't equal general bc that's only in emergency situations! However, I did have a spinal and had the catheter...the catheter wasn't bad at all. They put it in after you are numb and then pull it out later. It only hurt a smidge when they pulled it out. So not that bad! lol

We are going to MIL's for dinner tonight...not excited. I think I might say something to her about the dusting comment. We never have her over anyway bc we aren't neat freaks and our house is always "lived in" if you will lol She's a neat freak and judgmental. I just can't believe she had the nerve to say something to a new mom, a new mom of twins at that! I think she needs to know that I was really offended. I actually had time to clean yesterday and was stewing about it the whole time lol

Anyway, it's a beautiful day so I'm going to try and get the babies outside for a little bit. Get a little vitamin D. DW said if I pump, she will take care of the babies and let me sleep tonight. She feels bad bc I've basically been doing it all myself so she can sleep and be rested for work. Obviously while she's at work I do it all as well. I sure could use a good night's rest!

We just put the first 0-3 month outfit on Olivia She's getting big so fast! He's not far behind her. I think part of it is the cloth diapers though, they take up more space and make things look smaller. They have a ped apt on Wed, curious to see how much they've grown!

Off to start some laundry and hopefully shower before babies wake up!

 

[Kiamaria83]

Ahh sandy that sounds nice.
Mirolee I'm terrified aswell. I wasn't worried first time round but now I know whats coming I'm dreading it. But like bb said you get over it. As soon as the baba is out the pain is over and you'll be thinking about baby no 2.

 

[Kiamaria83]

Julie you sound like you are doing very well and that you're a natural. It's so nice that dw is so helpful aswell.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Julie I hope you have a nice night. With no comments. My friend who cloth diapers says it makes them go up a size faster and it will stretch out there pants too. Lol
Afm had a lovely day got some new boots, an angel for my front stoop and Texas road house. I ripped up some weeds when I got home.

Morning ladies!

Had a chill weekend. We had a Newborn care class friday night, a Complete childbirth class saturday, and a L&D tour yesterday. I am all babied out this weekend. It was a pretty chill weekend. After the class saturday, I laid in bed ALL day and watched Grey's Anatomy from the beginning. I really need to slow down and relax before Harper gets here. Yesterday we went grocery shopping and had dinner at my parents.. now.. it's back to work.

Julie- Great to hear from you. Everything sounds good, except for the MIL. That would piss me off. They aren't her kids, and I was flat out tell her "No. You can't invite all of your friends over to LOOK at the babies" UGH!

Katrina- Chart is looking so good!

 

[Cowgirl07]

I agree Rachel, that picture is awesome.
Britt I'm glad you had a good weekend.
Afm I stayed up late cleaning the house, but I'm glad I did. It looks so much better. My back hurts a bit, but that maybe cramps.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Urgh I don't like my midwife. She was bloody useless. She has given me all the paperwork to take home and fill in myself. She didn't want to weigh me, she didn't want to measure my height, she didn't want to work out my due date etc she wanted me to tell her it! She had no idea that I already had a son even though my notes were in front of her! She wasn't at all tactful when asking about my miscarriages. Her colleague took my bloods, no problems today! I had to have my plaster changed whilst I was there because blood had leaked out so the clexane must be working.

I gave her the letter from my consultant but she said she didn't need to book me an appointment even though he specifically asked for one to be booked! So after I left her room I went to the reception desk and asked for my Doctors secretary who booked my obstetrics appointment.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Ugh Bb!
