TTC and Beyond!

[brunettebimbo]

That's brilliant for a first night

 

[Lotalaughs16]

Great job holding a bottle Alia!!

Rachel, congrats on a great first night for Ellie in her crib

Waves, I'm sorry about everything you have going on...I feel that way sometimes with having my dog...everyone is always soliciting advice and telling me how I can't handle having a dog and we should have thought about that before getting her and blah blah blah. i would definitely talk to your doctor about the feelings you are having and as for family...i agree with bb, sometimes they get so wrapped up in their own lives that they forget about us...is there any other mommy groups in your area where you could take the kids to the park and hang with other adults at the same time lol?

 

[Lotalaughs16]

oh and...

Sandy and bb...big to you both I'm thinking of you and your hurting hearts


afm, I think I've given up on this cycle...I didn't really think anything was going to come of it but I let a little bit of hope slip in my head and now I'm just a little bit sad BUT I'm hoping af will show up by the end of the week so I can at least call it a normal cycle and move on to the next

 

[brunettebimbo]

When is AF due? Have you ovulated? Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Thanks! I'm quite proud of both of us!

So I've noticed a trend with my supply and lemonade. I bought a big simply lemonade and I've been drinking it when at home. I pumped 5 oz before bed last night and woke up at 4:30 with full boobies the again when we got up for the day. My supply is usually less during the day so I'm going to chug lemonade during the day while I'm off and see if there's a difference. I already drink lots of water so I know it's not from just drinking a liquid. I found another post on it from someone who got the same effect from Simply Lemonade.
Nikki you should try it and see if there's a difference. I think everyone else has the opposite problem from us...

 

[Lotalaughs16]

bb, today is cd 29 so I'm hoping af will show by the end of the week to call it a normal cycle. I have no idea if/when I ovulated.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Rachel that's awesome both the sleep and lemonade. I've heard that before, my cousin mixes lemonade and orange juice.
Brittney if af has to come I hope it's normal cycle length.
Afm went to work, got charged, checked my cows now I'm home. I think I got a little overheated, it's 91 and I was out all day. Grandma is buying me dinner tonight no cooking.

 

[goldstns]

Home sick w a 102 temp. I think flu. Rachel - what is meningites? When do I go to doc? My body aches, bad headache, throat kills, back of neck hurts.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Prob strep. Look in your throat and see if there are white patches.

 

[TTCaWee1]

You wouldn't have a sore throat with meningitis. That would cause stiff neck, fever, light sensitivity, neuro symptoms.

 

[Disneybaby26]

Feel better Nikki! Are/were Alias eyes blue?

 

[Disneybaby26]

What about Ellie, Rachel?

 

[goldstns]

Yes, alia's eyes r still blue.

Temp went to 103...but back down to 101....debating to go to urgent care.

 

[Disneybaby26]

I would if it went up that high again, have you tried a cold bath/shower? if it's stays ~101 tomorrow I'd call your primary care and see what they think!

 

[TTCaWee1]

Ellie's are still blue. They are a different shade of blue than at birth.

Nikki how does your throat look?

 

[goldstns]

Throat isn't white/pussy. Horrible headache and lots of pain in ears and neck. Skin hurts to even pump.

 

[goldstns]

I took a shower and was freezing so I had the heat all the way up
Didn't help. Temp at 102 and I have Tylenol In me. I'd still sick/temp tomorrow then I'll go to doc.

 

[frsttimemama]

I'll get caught up later. Just checking in. It's been a long time since I had a day where I was just trying to get to the end, but yesterday was one of those. It wasn't all bad --I spent it with hubby. We shopped and had lunch. I got a new dress for the baby shower and party I'm going to this weekend. We went and visited little guy and took.him a few things. We survived. On to day # 366. And getting ready for our newest little guy. Onward..

 

[Disneybaby26]

Sandy- xo, your strength is incredibly admirable.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Nikki I hope you feel better soon.
Sandy your so strong.
Afm went to bed early last night, I've been battling headaches this time. Nothing seems to put a damper on them. Luckily the sun isn't shining today so that should help a bit.
