TTC and Beyond!

[TTCaWee1]

Anyone ever used the hylands teething tablets? I just gave Ellie 2 bc she's fussy and chewing on her paci and fists....she finally went to sleep. I really think she's starting to teethe. Waves / you said Hannah teethed early? I feel like ever since she got her shots, she's all messed up. Her naps are all screwed up and 2 nights in a row she didn't go to sleep until 11pm

I didn't use that make but we did use some with Tristan. They are brilliant!

We used them with Hannah and I think they helped. But yeah, she did start teething early. She started sometime during her 2nd month and her bottom 2 teeth came in together when she was about 4 months old (I thought 3 months but double checked her baby book.) Teeth can take awhile to come in though.

There are several babies in my due date club that were born mid-late February and early March that are already teething.

How long ago were her shots? They can affect baby for about a week or so. I don't remember how long it bothered Leah but I remember it being several days.

She got them Thursday. I think it's a combo of the shots and maybe teething. She wants to be held and cuddled more than normal. She's probably traumatized lol

Taking Evan to the doctors today to see of he has silent reflux. He never let's me put him down and when he breathes he sounds really congested. Hoping we can get some answers and relief! I have already given up dairy and lost gluten. I cannot give up my coffee!

BB- that midwife sounds awful!! So sorry you had a bad day!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Lol thank you Rachel!! Yes, she's very curious!! She can hold it up for a little and then will rest. She just started cooing the other day too-I love it, no reallllll smiles yet but I think we're close!

Mirolee-don't worry, you'll get through it!! It's definitely no fun but the epi helps a lot-assuming you get one (I think I remember you mentioning you were a yes for an epi!). Honestly, after it's over-like ten minutes later-you can't even really recall the exact pain, it's weird!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Been getting some period type crampy pains today.. I've had 6 glasses of water and still going.. hopefully the water will calm them down. They are annoying though! It's uncomfortable!

 

[frsttimemama]

Rachel, glad those helped! She's so cute!

Britt, sorry! Hope you feel better soon! Try to rest. Try tylenol maybe?

Julie, gosh they are growing so fast! So exciting! I'm sorry about your MIL!

Mirolee, that's what I was terrified of. The c-section wasn't bad. I had general only because it was an emergency and I had not had an epidural yet. Planned will be an epidural, which is scary, but I have heard aren't bad and they numb locally first.

Bb, what a jerk. Can you request a new one? How are you?

Sarah, I hope you get answers! Poor little guy!

Anyone heard from Morgan or Molly?

Afm, just checking in. Crazy busy today! Geeeeesh! Lol. Gotta stop by the grocery and find something to make for a side dish for a carry-in tomorrow. Suggestions? Pasta salad and potato salad are already covered.

 

[HWPG]

thanks gals. yes, i think an epi is still what i'll do in the end - i have about -5 tolerance for pain - but we'll see. s'pose there's nothing to do about it now! ha!

 

[Cowgirl07]

I like fruit salad Sandy.
Molly posted a picture on fb this morning. He is growing well. 6lb 14 oz
Afm I'm fighting some acne and have to go out in the rain soon.

 

[frsttimemama]

Mirolee, you can do it!!

Katrina, that stinks. I wish I had thought of that! I love fruit salad. Instead, I spent 15$ on stuff for coleslaw because hubby mentioned it. I don't even like it! Lol.

 

[Cowgirl07]

I love fruit salad. I feel like af will be here soon. oh well if she's going to come I hope she's gone by the weekend.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I was just going to say coleslaw! I love it!
I'm doing ok thanks, just up for my nighttime wee It's the dreaded day today, really hoping we get through it and that baby is staying strong.

Britt are you feeling any better?

 

[frsttimemama]

Hubby and MIL say it's good. Whew! I was stressing! Lol. We are doing a carry-in dessert bar Thursday, and I already decided on watermelon. Lame, but yum!

Bb, its gonna be okay!

 

[Ingodshand]

Britt- hope you are feeling better!

Katrina-tell that witch to stay away!!

Evan was given some meds for refluz and hope it helps. He is also 11 pounds and 9 ounces!!! He is huge!

 

[TTCaWee1]

Katrina - sorry you feel like AF is coming. I hope you're wrong.

Mirolee - I was terrified to give birth but honestly it wasn't bad at all. I didn't have pain until day 2 and I had a second degree laceration. Of course I also had a tiny baby but still much bigger than anything else that's ever been through there.

Sarah - he is huge! Did they give him Zantac? Almost all the babies on here have reflux! I guess all babies do but ours are bad enough to be medicated.

I hope all you other preggers are doing well.

Oh I talked to Sonia - she says hi. She's coming up to 38 weeks!

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks Rachel. I'm dandy. Just tired and round and a little puffy in the ankle region. Lol. How is Ellie?

Sarah, he is a big boy! Hope the medicine works!

Katrina, hope you are wrong!

Kara, how is the reflux medicine working for you guys?

I spent some time putting some things away from the baby's room. It was tough. I did so well until I ripped the paint off the wall pulling on a letter of his name.. then I sobbed. Oops. My poor hubby. He suggested not putting it away, but I thought of making a special place in the living room for some things. I NEED the room to be different somewhat. It's the same furniture, the Same paint.. I have to change some things. This is harder than I thought, but I'm getting there. I want everything ready by 30-32 weeks. Just never know when he will decide to show up.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Have you thought of maybe changing the colour of the room maybe? Make it different that way? Sorry you have to go through this

 

[frsttimemama]

Well, hubby REALLY doesn't want to re-paint, and we both like the color of the room. It's just a tough thing, but I'm dealing. Slowly. He thinks my biggest problem is putting things in boxes because we had to put him in a box, and I really really struggled with that. He's probably right. He knows me pretty well. He insists we don't have to put anything away, but I feel like we do. At least take it out of the baby's room. I need it to not be "his" room, if that makes sense. I'm working on figuring out how to make that happen for myself.

BB, thinking of you today!

Katrina, fx for you!!
