TTC and Beyond!

[TTCaWee1]

It's hard Sarah. I know. I loooooove snuggling. But I knew I had to do what was best. She slept in her pack n play in our room next to my bed but it was too easy to put her in bed with us if she woke up fussy and I didn't want to continue that trend and make a habit out of it. We have a huge recliner in her room so it's actually really comfy to bf her in the middle of the night now.

Waves good luck
Nikki how scary I hope you feel better soon.
Afm, nothing to exciting. I am on femara until Sunday so it might push back o a bit.

 

[frsttimemama]

Waves, hope you get something figured out. That sounds horrible.

Nikki, I hope you feel better soon!!

Rachel, how awesome that she's doing so well! Men are you crazy and funny that way. Of course itvwas his idea!

Katrina, I have high hopes with all the changes this cycle! Hopefully ut won't delay O!

Sarah, I hope that the naps go well!!

I do believe I am entering the third tri. Holy moly. 12 weeks to go. I'm so tired today. It's unreal. Busy weekend ahead. I have to figure out how to paint my toenails. Hahaha!

tested again this morning...another BFN. I have cramps but I feel like my body is just playing tricks on me again, today is cd 31 so well see what happens over the weekend

 

[Ingodshand]

Brittney- thinking positive thoughts for you!!

Sandy- cannot believe you are so far along! He will be here before you know it!

Nap did not go well. Laid him in the crib twice and he woke up. Also tried the rock and play. Back in the Moby wrap we went. Will try again tomorrow.. Ugh! His sweet smell is the only thing that gets me through.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Sorry for the bfn Britney.

Sarah what about the swing? As much as I hate the fact that she only naps in her swing, at least it gives me free time. He might like the movement.

 

[goldstns]

Brittney- what testing have u had? Maybe hormone problem?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Brittney sorry about the bfn.
Afm I got my pictures ordered they are fantastic. Bnb wouldn't let me load any but they are on fb. I'm ok if I o a bit later, for bigger eggies.

It's been a while but I just want to say congrats on hitting trimester 3! It's almost time!!!

I loved those pics! Especially the ones out in the fields. So refreshing and romantic!

So I told DH that we needed to get that mesh liner for Ellie's crib so she doesn't get stuck in the railing. He said "that won't happen, we don't need that..." So I said fine we will wait and see, knowing it would happen. Night #3 and she gets her legs stuck through the back railing. Hmmmmm. So I just texted him and he was like, I tried to tell you we needed that thing...boys. They don't listen. So looks like I'm going to babies r us today.

Waves good luck with the dr and the assistance. Question though - does your work insurance not allow family to be added?

Oh man, Hannah was always was getting herself stuck between the bars. Sometimes even now at 2 years old she'll get her leg stuck in there. Like actually stuck to the point we have to nearly break the dang crib to get her out. We used bumpers (regular AND mesh) and it helped until she was mobile enough and big enough to push the bumper up or down & get stuck in the crib again lol.

Thanks. No, I can add dependents. I added Leah when she was born and decided I wanted to add Hannah as well but by the time I decided to, open enrollment ended. Even still, I can't afford it really. For me it's like $43 per paycheck and then for each child dependent it's another $50-something per paycheck. That's just for medical/prescription. So without Hannah, I'm already out about $100 in medical insurance each paycheck. If she were on it, it would be $150-ish per paycheck. Tyler's company doesn't offer anything I don't believe. Hopefully it's only a few more years until none of this is an issue anymore --- one of us has a better job with either better insurance or making more money that we can afford it each paycheck.

Good idea, maybe will try the swing again!

thanks Marie. I added some to my journal for those not on fb. Dh is at an after work party. One coworker quit and one was fired yesterday.

 

[brunettebimbo]

11 weeks today!

 

[Kiamaria83]

Yay bb happy 11 weeks.
Marie big congrats on your bfp.
Amanda I hope you're ok. Def speak with your dr. Try and get some girly time in while hubby watches the kids. Sometimes a good girly chat over some cocktails helps.
Sarah does he nap in the car ? I used to have to get in the car to get Elliott to sleep
Rachel that's funny about dh. Ignore him in future and just buy what you need. I do that but it does cause arguments lol
Britt sorry about bfn but once everything is regular you will have a bfp in no time.
Katrina fx for super big eggies this cycle.
Sandy you're such a strong mummy. I hope you're feeling ok.
Sorry for anyone I've missed
I'm busy packing for holiday in between being sick. Why am I still throwing up at 25 weeks!! Not looking forward to the 3 am get up for the flight but I need to get used to that with a newborn on the way.
Did anyone else that's already got a toddler have panic attacks about having another baby? I keep having these awful panicky attacks and a feeling of dread. I don't know why as this baby is very wanted and already loved but I am really nervous. I'm worried Elliott will feel left out and how will I cope with 2 . Prob just me being stupid.

 

[Kiamaria83]

Just thought I'd share my fave bumpy pic. He wants a baby girl .

 

[Cowgirl07]

[brunettebimbo]

Makayla is rolling from tummy to back at 10 weeks 5 days!! This little lady is mighty!!!

 

[TTCaWee1]

That's awesome Kara!!

I've just come across an old wives tale that apparently tells you how many children you will have and what sex they will be. If you've had miscarriages you count them too. You tie your wedding ring on a bit of cotton, lay your hand flat, dip the ring 3 times between your thumb and pointing finger then hold over your palm. It will either swing like a pendulum or go in circles. It then stops and then starts again. If it goes in circle it means girl and swinging means boy.

I got boy (correct), girl, boy, boy, girl.
I also did the baking soda test and ring over belly and got girl.

I still vote boy!

All fun to try out though


Have any of you tried these?
