TTC and Beyond!

[clynn11]

Boo! Sorry Ash Did you ask them to sweep your membranes or anything?

 

[asmcsm]

They can't sweep if you aren't dilated at all. She just said evening primrose oil and sex which I've been doing

 

[clynn11]

Lux is being stubborn! I hope she decides to show her pretty little face soon! Did they talk about induction at all? How far are they willing to let you go past your due date?

 

[Disneybaby26]

How much of the EPO are you doing?

 

[asmcsm]

I've been taking 2 orally per day and 2 vaginally at night. She said to just do 1000mg 3/day

 

[frsttimemama]

Ash, that stinks. I was at 1 foreverrrrrr! Even being induced, I never made it past there at least before my water broke. They obviously didn't check after that. I hope the EPO helps and soon!

Rachel, hope the first goes smoothly!

Date with hubby for our anniversary! Probably just dinner which is fine with me. We went camping, too, at the lake/beach. It was great. I'm so blessed. I can't wait to meet this new little guy.? Feeling good about things with baby today. Belly is getting big!

 

[asmcsm]

I am 50% effaced. But I was really hoping of be farther at this point. I'm just really over being pregnant right now. Especially since it's supposed to be like 104degrees this weekend... No talk of induction yet but I seriously will not be happy if I go over. I'm so not in a good mood right now.

 

[Disneybaby26]

At least the effacement means the pressure of walking etc is working Ashlee! Do you have a yoga ball? Do some bouncing!

 

[clynn11]

I know how badly you want your baby girl to be here Ash. She will be SO soon and you will forget all this miserableness

AFM, I'm SUPER excited for my baby shower this weekend! I've been stalking my registry ( LOL yes I know i'm bad and impatient) as of last night we had a baby blanket and some mittens bought off of it, and this morning I woke up and our bouncer has been purchased and some adorable owl hooded towels! Eeeek. Can't wait to sit down afterwards, get everything sorted, and get everything else we need so I can start feeling prepared!

 

[clynn11]

Missing Morgan, Amanda, and Nichole! Hope they're all doing great

Colette too! If you see this- how are you doing hun?!

 

[goldstns]

Rachel- I'll have to try a heat pack...thx! I'm back on fenugreek. And I'm drinking a dark beer a day (per kara's suggestion...hopping I'll eventually like it...)

waves- Alia went threw 4 month sleep regression at about 3.5 months...good luck!

update on job interview... She thanked me for asking, but it was meant to mean my resume pushed me to the next step. So now I have a phone interview!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Nikki great news.
Ashlee boo that stinks.
Afm I'm in a better mood than I was last night, not that it takes much. I wish I had someone to ask about fs I want recommendations.

 

[asmcsm]

Yea, at least there's some effacement. I've been doing basically nothing but walking, bouncing on my ball and eating pineapple...I hope that it pays off soon. I've been having a ton of period type cramps and backache last night and today. Would be less annoying if I knew it was doing somehing

 

[frsttimemama]

That's great progress tho, Ash!

Nikki, awesome news!

Cassidy, how fun!

 

[Disneybaby26]

Ashlee-I just laughed at loud at the comment in your post that said "first borns always come late or early"...thank you captain obvious!! LOL

Nikki-is has to be stout beer, not just dark! I started to like it by the third day lol

 

[Disneybaby26]

What are you mommas doing for Fathers day? I'm sneaking DHs wedding band to a local jeweler to have then engrave her name inside and also doing a double picture frame with the "walk with me daddy" poem on one side and her footprint on the other for his nightstand!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Sounds cute Kara

 

[frsttimemama]

It does sound cute! I will get him a card. We didn't much celebrate Mother'sgosh Day. It was hard. We did last year, and it turned out poorly for us as we all know. We will celebrate next year when Baby Boy is safely here. We will be out of town camping Thursday -and Monday over that weekend so we will have a BBQ for our dads the following weekend.

 

[asmcsm]

Lol Kara I know! Umm that's not just first borns that's any pregnancy lol. Only 5% of people actually deliver on their due date... I wanted to strangle my aunt for the comment about leaving her be and letting her just come when she wants because until you've experienced PUPPPs you really just can't tell someone with it to wait patiently!

I'm hoping that I'll be at least close to my due date. My mom was within 2 days of the due date with me and on the due date with both my sisters

 

[clynn11]

Doctor's appointment went great today. Although it took FOREVER. I’ve lost 1.5 lbs in the past 3 weeks but doctors are not concerned.. 18lb total weight gain so far! Despite me being GREAT about my weight gain… my midwife Sally is estimating Zuri will be 8 1/2 to 9 pounds!!! Good lord. Her heartbeat was perfect ticking away at 150bpm and she is still head down! Hoping they're a little off on her weight lol... i'm good with pushing a 9lber out of me! AH!
