TTC and Beyond!

Awe she is so cute Nikki.
My allergies have been awful all day but since I'm avoiding my allergy meds I'm miserable. I ended up with another bloody nose from sneezing all day. I'm glad it rained but why does it make everything pollinate.

 

[Ingodshand]

Ugh, hope you feel better!

Nikki- i hear ya, the first year flows by!

I am requesting a leave until April 1st. I hope it gets approved! My boss also told me he is leaving so that makes the decision easier!

Ashlee-how are things with Lux??

It's been better the last few days. I've been pumping during the day and breast feeding at night. Nips still hurt but a lot less than EBF. I found out that an oral surgeon in the next town can release her lip tie because a girl on the fb support group lives there and said she had a good experience with her son there. She said it cost her $345 out of pocket but honestly it's worth it cuz it will prevent future dental issues with decay. Just kinda a pain in the ass. But she has been a little less gassy which is nice.

Congrats Mirolee!

 

[clynn11]

I hope Mirolee doesn't mind, but she shared the picture on our Facebook group so I figured it was okay (if not let me know and i'll take it down of course).. but I know Nikki and Sandy aren't part of the facebook group and are dying to see him!

 

[Cowgirl07]

He's adorable. Maybe bnb isn't allowed in the hospital like Amanda so they would have to wait days to see that cute face.

[clynn11]

Yupp I am ready! But this little girl apparently takes after her daddy with her stubbornness Bouncing on the fitness ball as I type this lol.

I am gifting Dh a boudoir shot for his birthday, I'm kinda nervous about it but kinda excited. Struggling to conceive has made me feel worthless and unattractive. So I think this is one way to get my confidence back

 

[goldstns]

Katrina..u go girl!

Congrats Mirolee! He's beautiful!

For the girls who asked...We are still friends with our donor. However, he came to us a month or two before the babies were born and said they had decided not to donate for future babies. They gave the reason of thinking it would be weird for him to have more bio kids with us than with his wife...honestly that pisses me off quite a bit bc they knew they only wanted 2 kids and knew from the beginning we wanted 4. However, his wife complains about having to use birth control (she has the mirena) and wants him to get snipped. She can barely handle the 2 kids they have and is scared to death of having another one. I'm pretty sure that's more of the reason than the one they gave us. Still really disappointing bc we were excited we would have the same donor and our kids would all be either half siblings if Ryann carries or full siblings if I carry. Now they will only be half or not at all. But, that's a risk we took when we decided to do this I guess...

Katrina-What a great idea! Boudoir pics definitely make you feel sexy

Here are some hand-holding pics...I'm positive they don't do it on purpose, but it's adorable anyway! They often times smack each other in the face or poke each other in the eye lol

 

[brunettebimbo]

That sucks Julie At the end of the day you'll all still be family regardless of genes. You make it what it is.
Your twins are adorable!

Katrina that's a great idea! I think doing it will probably give you some confidence back too!

 

[frsttimemama]

Julie, theu are just adorable! Sorry that is the situation for you guys.

Katrina, great idea! Ttc sucks. It takes the fun out of it and made me feel worthless and broken, especially after we lost our son.

Of all the days to have the worst heartburn of my whole pregnancy, my nody picks today when I havecto work at 5 am and NEEEED the coffee. Zantac isn't touching it. Ugh. I think he will have lots of hair.
