TTC and Beyond!

[Ingodshand]

Yayyyy Bb-what a relief!! I'm so so happy for you!!

Makayla slept 9:30pm-5:00am last night!!!! Aside from the coronary I had when I woke up and realized it was 4:10 and she haven't made a peep it was the best night everrrrrrr!!!

Wow, did you do anything different?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Bb yay how awesome for you.
Julie I don't face time with my sister and she lives 17 hours away, by plane. She will see them tomorrow so what's the big deal.
Afm I'm so glad plantings over Dh and I are thinking about renting a cabin for a few days later this summer. I'm excited but I'm not sure where I want to go.

 

[frsttimemama]

Katrina, that sounds super fun!

Kara, that's awesome!

I am SO starving today! It's ridiculous.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Julie- so funny that they share a bday and made progress on the same night!! Lol

Sarah- I swaddled her!! We usually don't bc she fights it so we usually leave her arms out. Last night I decided I was the mommy and I was going to decide how she is going to sleep!! Lol

 

[Cowgirl07]

Kara that's awesome.
Afm I was naughty and wore sandals today and now my ankle hurts. I thought I twisted it yesterday and I should have worn real shoes. I'm so dumb. I'll blame the calf I was trying to get on the trailer.

 

[frsttimemama]

Katrina, definitely the calf's fault! Lol. I hate shoes!!

Do you ladies use the swaddle things or just a blanket? I have some swaddle things.. how long do you swaddle them? A few months? I'm considering fleece if that's the case.

Anyone heard from Molly or Morgan?

He's moving so much lately. I love it! So reassuring!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Julie - Wow. that's annoying. She will see them tomorrow. I don't get it.

Katrina- Sorry about your ankle!

Sandy - It's awesome when you start to feel them squirming around. Harper's movements actually hurt about 50% of the time now. I think she's stretching out in there, and it causes me pain! I love it though. Makes me feel good.

 

[wavescrash]

Anyone heard from Molly or Morgan?

Morgan recently posted a ton of pictures on FB/Instagram. Maybe yesterday and the day before? Haven't talked to her but the pictures make me think things are going well.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Molly has posted some pictures on Facebook! I think they are doing well! =]

 

[goldstns]

sandy- they say by the time the baby tries rolling they shouldn't be swaddled any longer. So about 4 months.

I had a dollar, I put it in the vending machine for some chips.... stupid machine ate my dollar and DID NOT deliver my chips! GRRR!

 

[clynn11]

Hey ladies! Sorry i've been massively sucking at replying lately. Things are getting hectic trying to get everything ready for Zuri. Can't believe less than 10 weeks until my due date. And 11 days until my baby shower! eeek! I hope all you beautiful women and babies are doing absolutely wonderful Will catch up soon, promise xox

 

[Disneybaby26]

I used an Aden and anais swaddle blanket but just bought a Woombie online, I can't wait for it to come!

 

[TTCaWee1]

I use the swaddle sacks and just wrap it under her arms so she just feels the hug. So Nikki can you still swaddle without the arms in after 4 months?

 

[goldstns]

Rachel- I think they recommend not making anything tight/restricting her because she is working on rolling. So if she rolls on her tummy then she isn't stuck there. Since they use their legs and arms to help with the momentum to roll. So we changed Alia to a sleep sack. Therefore shes still warm, but not restricted and also so there isn't a loose blanket in the crib. Alia used to be tightly wrapped in a blanket with her arms out, but she transitioned to the sleep sack just fine.

 

[asmcsm]

Holy cow Kara that's awesome! Hopefully she makes a habit of it lol

BB I'm so so so excited for you!!!!

AFM, I'm officially starting to get bruises on my thighs from where I've been scratching the rash too hard in my sleep. Ugh PUPPPs is seriously awful. I wouldn't even wish it on my worst enemy.

 

[goldstns]

Sry Ashlee!!! I don't know if I had puppp but I itched like that. It lasted a few weeks after birth too.

well Alia likes carrots....but LOVES butternut squash!!! She couldn't get enough of it. She cried when it was gone, so I warmed up one more oz and she eat it so fast.

 

[clynn11]

Kara- Yay for Makayla sleeping all the night through! Big girl!

Nikki- that's awesome your girl loves carrots and the squash! You have a healthy eater on your hands! That's hilarious she cried when it was gone.. she loves it that much! She's getting so big and is so beautiful!

Ash- i read in a thread to use Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap a lot of women said it helped them. Highly unlikely you can find it around here but maybe order off amazon or something? Sorry you're so miserable. She's gonna be here soon!

Can't believe how close you ladies are getting! Excited for more babies to start joining our thread!

Sry Ashlee!!! I don't know if I had puppp but I itched like that. It lasted a few weeks after birth too.

Well I was itchy before jut on my belly because of the stretching skin but then the bumps started on my belly and have now spread to my thighs, butt, legs and arms . And there's just rally not a lot to do about it since I can't take and steroids.

I read that too, but like you said it's probably not anywhere around here and who knows when it would get here if I order it online I joined a PUPPPs support group on fb and many of them said that dandilion tea or capsules helped. So I bought both and am hoping that in the next couple days it does something. I hope she's here soon. I didn't mind pregnancy up until now but now I'm so ready for pregnancy to be over! Just give me my baby girl and take away these awful itchy bumps! But, on the plus side, went to the dr today and now that the swimmer ear had cleared up he was able to see that my ear was extremely clogged by wax so they flushed it out with pressurized water and I can finally hear again! It's so fantastic after being deaf in one ear for 3 months.

 

[frsttimemama]

Sorry you're so miserable, Ashlee! Hopefully she comes soon so it can be resolved quickly!

Cass, you're not far behind yourself!

I think we have decided to change Baby's name, and hubby wants to keep it a complete secret until he is born. Our parents will HATE that. Lol. They hated the first name we picked, and while we liked it, I hated that they hated it. Not only that, but we heard one the other day that we liked better. Hahah. I'm retaining fluid like it's my job. Cankles daily. Love it. I Get on the scale every morning. Some days I'm up 12 pounds, yesterday I was up 4 pounds, this morning, 10! I hate it. I figure I've really probably gained the 4 if that's the lowest number I get. I haven't seen my ankle bones for weeks. My fingers swell so I can't get my rings off frequently. Just ugh for that. My scrub tops are starting to get tight in the belly region. I'm considering just a maternity T-shirt today w/ my scrub pants.. it's supposed to be 85 with high humidity, and I just can't handle the heat. My T-shirt breathes much better than these new scrubs we got for work. All one color, all one brand. It looks nice, but they are hotter than the others I had. We'll see! Gotta get moving this morning. Have a good day ladies!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Sorry about the PUPPPs Ashlee! That sounds awful.

Sandy - the swelling sucks doesn't it? My hands hurt SOOO bad every morning. I think the way I lay in bed is cutting off circulation or something because once I get up and move around it goes away.
