TTC and Beyond!

How exciting! Can't believe we are going to have more babies in the group soon

Lovely pictures Waves

AFM - 7 weeks today Every day feels like I'm 1 step closer to feeling ok. I'm still terrified but the constant sickness and melon boobs is quite reassuring! I seem to have 1 appointment a week for the next few weeks, hospital, midwife, scan etc. My midwife rang yesterday, she was so much nicer than when I saw her the first time. I have an appointment on Wednesday. I mentioned booking another reassurance scan and she said we could sort it at that appointment

Anyone else's hormones through the roof in the beginning?

I have to stop myself from crying on more than one occasion during the day. I'm terrified of losing this baby. I'm scared that hubby is going to find someone else. I'm having awful dreams. I'm so paranoid about everything. I have no reason to be. My husband is an amazing man and we are in a good place relationship wise right now. I wish my mind would give it a rest!

I cried all the time when pregnant with alyssa. Maybe it's a girl!! It is also really scary so just try to breath! Only a few more weeks until the second trimester!

It's a scary time Bb-do your best to try and relax. I had lots of tears dealing with our loss and conflicting feelings, loving our new baby so much and not wanting to lose it but missing our first baby and wishing we hadn't lost that one. We also didnt tell any friends/family until 12 weeks and DH "understood" how I felt but I use that term loosely bc well, he's a man. So I felt very alone a lot of the times too. I wanted to be so excited but I was nervous instead. Loss really takes the innocence out of pregnancy. Like I said please try and think happy, positive thoughts. Stay away from google and unreliable sources. Try and trust your body, your medical providers, and your husband. xo

I have crazy hormones and crying, too, BB.

No results Ashlee?

 

[frsttimemama]

Kara, you described it so well! I love this baby so much, but at the same time miss my son so much and wish I hadn't lost him. And I analyze every little thing to bits!

We went and registered at Target last night so we could get coupons. Haha. Sad, rigjt? I honestly don't expect anything this time around, but I still wanted the 10% off coupon.

Sorry Cassidy! No water breaking here...I wish. Was up late because we were supposed to have a work dinner party but instead my bosses surprised us with a limo that took all of us to my all time favorite Chinese/Japanese restaurant that I told them all about lol. Was so delicious and a lot of fun. Was our celebration for ending one of our busiest seasons. All my coworkers went around and wrote down guesses for Lux's birth date and weight so we'll so who's right! But honestly, I'm on the verge of throwing my birth plan out the window and asking for an induction because this rash is the most miserable thing I've experienced. I hope he comes soon on her own because I'd like to stick to my birth plan but don't know how long I'll hold out.

BB- I was pretty emotional at te beginning and that was only after one loss so I can only imagine how conflicted and emotional you are now. Jut breathe momma you're gonna be fine. We're all here for you when you need to talk it out

Sandy- no results yet. I'm hoping with something that serious they'd call me right away if the results were positive though. I really do think it's probably just PUPPP

 

[Disneybaby26]

That sounds SO fun Ashlee!!

I can't wait until my nips feel normal again someday. Ouchy.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Dinner sounds lovely Ashlee
Bb I think emotions are supposed to be all over the place.
Afm- nothing to exciting going on. Went to a friend's and am going out for lunch with Dh

 

[brunettebimbo]

I've just put some PJ shorts on at home and glanced in the mirror. Some of my veins are popping out in my legs. That can't be normal can it?

So, since I'm a bit ahead of you all with Alia. I want to warn you about something. Its VERY common for babies, especially those that drink breast milk, to become extremely constipated when introducing solids. We think that's why Alia is have a hard time. Dh just got me plums and prunes...so I'm making some and giving it to her today.

 

[clynn11]

Amanda- your girls are so stinking gorgeous! I can't say it enough!

Sorry that Alia is constipated Nikki Hope that the prunes sort her out!

 

[clynn11]

BB- darkened veins is a symptom of pregnancy and some women also develop varicose veins. Happy 7 weeks!!

Ash sounds like lots of fun. I hope that she comes soon and the rash goes away ASAP. I would call and bug them for results of your test though.. they told me if I failed the GD test they'd call in 1-2 days. It took them 4. They have so many patients I think some stuff gets lost or overlooked. So i'd call just to be sure.

Katrina- FX for O'ing soon and this cycle!! If no BFP this cycle are they going to up your dosage, or try clomid?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Im not sure what the plan is, I went to the Dr yesterday because I have a weird rash on my leg. It's eczema. I asked about getting three days bloods and what my next plan is in regards to upping the dosage/Clomid. But I hadn't heard back. I saw my old np, but the Ob wasn't in the office, so they had to leave a message. I'm guessing they will call Monday

 

[goldstns]

Well Alia might b allergic to fruit. Nothing deathly!! Thank god. She just has hives. The prunes were her first fruit. Its called oral allergies. Dh has it and sow does fil. The unfortunate thing is I have 4 ice trays of it. Oh well. Nurse on call said wait 3-5 days and try it one more time. If same reaction occurs then shes allergic. However she wasn't fully convinced it was the prunes that cause the hives. She thinks it could be a heat rash because she said usually its the second time she would eat it that it would show allergic reaction. So well see. She had a decent poop today... So hopefully it helped. I just want her to feel better and for us all to get sleep tonight.

on my mom front... She has an ultrasound set up for dog on Tuesday. She got a good job offer in Florida and thinks shell move the just after 4th of July. I'll miss her tons, but I know dh is ready for our house back.

 

[asmcsm]

Yea Cassidy, they do kinda suck but I figured tey probably don't have my results yet anyway. The lab at our dr office kinda sucks because they're so slow. Will call Monday though probably.

Oh no Niki! I hope that she's not allergic!

AFM, been having way more pressure and cervix pain today. Went for a nice walk with DH and one of the dogs to try and coax little Lux to keep moving down and out. I'm shooting for having her first week of June lol. Momma is ready for her to be out and this rash to be gone!

 

[brunettebimbo]

O no Nikki. I hope not! Tristan is quite sensitive to stuff. He got hives a lot when he was tiny.

Ashlee I hope she arrives soon

 

[Cowgirl07]

Ashlee I hope she is here soon.

 

[Ingodshand]

Ashlee- hope she gets here soon so you can get some relief!

Nikki- is your dh allergic to all fruit? That stinks!

 

[goldstns]

Dh is allergic to fresh fruit, all the ones he's tried. If they r cooked he's fine, like apple pie. Usually its something they grow out of, but dh hasnt. Hopefully Alia will. Alias hives got worse over night.
