TTC and Beyond!

[frsttimemama]

Sonia, hope she comes soon!!

Katrina, fx!! Careful with allergy meds if you take them. I think they can affect cm. Yay for no set schedule.

Britt, that stinks! Sorry. Feel better!

 

[Cowgirl07]

That's why I haven't taken them. I wish I was in the tww. This sucks.
I hope alia doesn't have pink eye.
Britt I hope your feeling better

 

[goldstns]

Doc said Alia has pink eye. Poor baby.

 

[clynn11]

Poor Alia I hope it clears up quickly!

Sonia- SO EXCITING! I hope Sarah decides to make her appearance soon!!!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Poor alia, hopefully it clears fast.
I must have pulled a muscle in my upper abdomen it twinge occasionally, I blame gardening and sneezing. Just lovely. Oh and the Dr never called back so I'll harass them tomorrow. I think I need some more baby/bump pictures

 

[asmcsm]

BB- Sorry you're feeling so yucky! But I'm sure it's definitely a nice reassurance that all's wel with the bean. I know my morning sickness was for me.

Sonia- I know exactly how you feel! I'm ready for little Lux to be out too.

AFM, still nothing from my Dr. Was super busy today so I forgot to call. I'm pretty positive what I have is PUPPPs though so I'm not super worried about it. Hoping that they finally do an internal at my apt on Wednesday. I'm thinking I'll probably ask them to sweep my membranes too just because this rash is sucky and I'd like to try and induce labor as naturally as possible.

 

[asmcsm]

Question for all you mommas, did any of you feel like a knife was stabbing you in the vajay at the end? Whenever we go for walks I feel like my cervix is gonna split open. Hoping it means that I'm effacing and dilating.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Poor Alia! Hopefully it should clear up quickly!

Ashlee I vaguely remember something like that but it's been a long time since I have birth Good Luck!

 

[goldstns]

Ash- yes! I have a lab that is a 2 min walk from my office.... I told everyone I'd only walk it one time a day and the Friday before I went into labor I emailed my boss saying someone else needed to do the work over there cuz i couldn't walk because of the pain. I also remember taking the elevator one flight of stairs because of the pain. Your getting so close!!

 

[asmcsm]

Yay! That makes me feel better lol we've been going for 1-2 walks a day and te entire time I get that sharp cervix pain, occasionally it will kinda surge and get stronger and I'll get some pain in my inner thigh as well. Hoping that they'll say I'm pretty well effaced and dilated at my apt on Wednesday! Want to have this baby girl by the end of the week lol

Nikki- poor Alia! I hope it goes away soon...and 6 months is a great goal for bf! Many moms don't even make it as far as you have!

Ashlee-I hope Lux comes soon! I know how bad the itching sucks...

Sonia-So close!!! I can't wait to see pics!

Britt- I know it sucks but hang in there! I think at least 38 weeks is a good goal. At 37 weeks our babes were treated like preterm babies and we still have to consider them 3 weeks early for developmental milestones. Although they were healthy and are growing great, I wish we could have waited even just one more week. I know how it sucks though, I know exactly what uncomfortable is! Lol

AFM-We are visiting family and friends this week. Staying at my moms. We normally attend a big gay camping/float trip this week, but opted out bc of babies. So just visiting instead. It will be a busy week of the babies meeting a few of our close friends. My mom offered to watch the babes though, so I'm planning to hang by the river and get a little sun at least!
My dad is in the hospital. He's been in and out w pneumonia the last few weeks/years. This time was more serious though. Pretty sure he's had some small strokes and is a little confused. So we are visiting him as well. Today will be his first time meeting the babies.

 

[brunettebimbo]

O no. I hope he's ok

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Thanks Julie- I too want to hit 38 weeks which is Sunday. I'm positive she's not coming before then, so I think i'll be alright. I'm just exhuasted and done. I cannot imagine carrying TWO babies!!

Ash- Yay!! I hope this means you are progressing!!

Nikki - Sorry Alia has pink eye. Is it easily treatable?

 

[TTCaWee1]

Ashlee yes! That is exactly what it felt like for me in the week leading up to birth. Like a knife was slicing me open

 

[TTCaWee1]

I go back to work tomorrow 😪 I'm so sad that I have to leave my baby. On a good note, I've been religiously milking myself and I have 2 days worth of milk in the freezer so I can be a little ahead now! And Ellie can get more bm while I'm at work than we originally thought. I think we are headed into another wonder week. She ate every 2 hours yesterday. However, she is sleeping longer at night now. Ugh. I really do not want to go back to work. I've been surrounded by a loving, sweet baby who adores me and now I have to go back to serving nasty ungrateful people who yell at us and piss on the floor. Can you feel the excitement in my words??? I bought new sneakers which usually means I'll get them bloody the first day wearing them. And they've hired so many new people since I've been out that I'm going to look like the new person. I'm going to make DH send me lots of pictures throughout the day.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Julie I hope you guys have a nice try and your dad gets better.
Ashlee lux will be here soon!
Rachel I hope your first day goes smoothly.

 

[goldstns]

Julie- keeping your dad in my prayers. You are a brave mommy to be taking babies out of the house for so long. We r thinking of going camping in a few weeks with her....well see how that goes.

rachel- good luck on your first day. Will she be in daycare ever or are u and dh working opposite schedules?

britt- yes it is...just eye drops 4x a day. She already looks better.

I miss Robert and Morgan!

 

[frsttimemama]

Good morning!

Nikki, me too. Have you heard from tgem? Hope her pinkeye goes away quickly!

Rachel, I can't imagine how difficult it will be to go back.. ugh! I already dread it, abd he's not even here yet.

Ash, hope she comes soon!

Julie, glad the babies are doing well!

Katrina, fx! Pulled muscles stink. Feel better!

We are camping for a few days. I'm just sitting here drinking my coffee and feeling little dude.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Me too! I was chatting with Amanda the other day.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Thanks ladies. 😪😪😪😪😪

Nikki - DH and I are rotating days but there are some that my friend Is going to watch her. She is an ER nurse too and her hubbs is a paramedic so I know she's in good hands. They also have a 5 year old girl and she is soooo excited to "babysit." Tomorrow and Thursday, DH has Ellie. Saturday, my friend does. There are only 3 days this month that she is going to keep her but I think I am going to start working some of the same days as DH so we can have more time as a family. I'm going to be away from her 3 days a week no matter what so I just need to let go a little and let my friend watch her more often. It's just hard. I know Ellie is too young for stranger danger but I'm still worried she is going to be scared. But I bought a pack n play and a swing, a bumbo, all sorts of stuff for her house so she has lots to do to keep her occupied and still feel cozy (hopefully).

Ellie is in a phase where she will only take long naps in her swing. I just worry that I'm creating bad habits but I just tell myself she's too young for that...don't know if it's true or not lol but I feel better

I had some bananas that were getting too soft for me so I made my first batch of baby food with them 😊 I just mixed a little breast milk with it and divided them into little freezer containers. And I've been stocking up on baby food when I see it on sale. I can't wait for her to eat food lol.

Nikki - have you tried avacados yet? I'm going to get some to purée and freeze. I read that they are a good first food.
