TTC and Beyond!

[Disneybaby26]

Awe, Julie, I'm sorry they decided that!! Like Bb said though, regardless of genes you guys will be a beautiful family!! The babies are so cute together, I can't get over it!!

Katrina-that sounds like an absolutely awesome idea!! Good for you!!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Julie that stinks, but it's not genes that make a family. Your family will be beautiful regardless.
Thanks ladies! The more I think about it the more I like the idea. Plus my photographer offered to do it for free.

Julie- those pictures are just precious! I have a friend that is 14 weeks pregnant with twins (after struggling with infertility) and I am so happy for her. Seeing your babies make me see all the love her kids will share and it makes my heart happy. They are just precious. It sucks about the donor!

Katrina- yay for doing the pics! I thought about doing them before we got married, but I never got around to it.

Eeeeeek I've felt lots of little kicks today

 

[frsttimemama]

Bb, that's great!!

Omgosh I forgot to post. Tristan said the funniest thing before. This was roughly how the conversation went -

Me "So when is baby coming?"
Tristan "I have my birthday, then Christmas then baby comes out of your bum!"
We both then starting howling with laughter and I go on to explain that girls don't have willies because they have babies and that babies come from lady bits.
Tristan "But how?"
Me "Like this" and I do a push sound whilst giggling.
Tristan "Pushhhhhhhhhh, you have to put your arms up at the same time Mummy then it will pop out of your rudey bits"

So yeh. That's not really how I thought that would go and not at the age of 3 but he thought it was hilarious plus I'd rather not lie to him!

Julie- they r so cute!!

bb- funny little man!

 

[frsttimemama]

Bb that's funny!

Anyone heard from Mirolee? Just wondering how she is doing!

 

[Cowgirl07]

She posted more pics on Facebook today and looked so happy. Little alek looked awesome and so alert.

Julie- I agree. Although that's a bummer they decided they don't want to be a donor anymore, in the end the genetics of the babes won't truly matter as you are an amazing family that will love the babies despite their genetics! Love all of the pictures, your babes are too damn cute!!!

BB- I already commented in your journal but he is so silly! Also, HOW MANY MORE DAYS TILL YOUR GENDER SCAN!?!?! Eeeek I know it's like less than a week now right?? So excited for you!

Katrina- You're gonna rock that boudoir shoot! You go girl!

Nikki- Can't believe Alia is growing so fast! Ah!

Mirolee, Alek is so perfect and gorgeous! Love your updates and hope all is going well and you're home soon. Can't wait to read your birth story!

AFM, 17 babies born in my due date thread so far and it's not even August yet!!! 3 sets of twins though, which were all c-sections. But still. I want my baby!!!!!! Lol. Doctor's appointment in the morning. Hoping there's been some progress since last week, i've been walking and bouncing on the fitness ball constantly!!!

 

[brunettebimbo]

It's 4 days! The suspense is killing me Can't wait to know whether we are having another little boy or a little girl. I don't mind either way I just want to know!

I'm 16 weeks today, it feels like it's dragging but I also think gosh from finding out to now, where has the time gone? I guess it's because I'm still worrying!

Seeing my midwife today. So glad because I feel like no-one has checked on baby for ages!

 

[clynn11]

Think I may have had my first contraction?? Not sure as I have no clue what to look for, but sitting at the computer I all of a sudden got intense pain in my pelvis/groin area and my tummy got super hard. Got up to walk to the bathroom and could barely walk. Now it's gone! Hmmmm. Wish I just knew when it was gonna happen. Keeping my FX that it's the start of something!!!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Could be the start of something! FX!

 

[frsttimemama]

Sounds like a contraction to me, Cass! Fx!

Bb, that's so exciting! Any gut feeling?

I am SO exhausted. I can barely function! I need it to be the weekend. I worked a 12 hour midnight shift Saturday into Sunday, got a nap then couldn't sleep Sunday night. Monday night I was up til 11then had to get up at 330 am for work and up til 11 and couldn't sleep again last night. I toss and turn and pee. I still have 7 weeks left. 6 of work. Not sure how I am going to keep doing this. Ugh.

We did decide to do a lot of cleaning and organization things Saturday that have been stressing me. I want everything clean and done and ready, and hubby wants to go camping still so we are compromising. House things this weekend, and one last trip next weekend. He still wants to go like 2 hours away, about an hour and 15 minutes from the hospital, and I don't. I'm getting really nervous!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Cass Fx.
Bb eek
Sandy if your that nervous I say don't go.

 

[frsttimemama]

I'm not. We are going to stay local. I hate being a party pooper, and everything is ok, but I am just getting scared about all this and doing it again.

 

[goldstns]

I agree... sandy do what is right for you. you wouldn't be fun camping if you are worried the whole time.

Cassidy- Id say you are getting VERY close!

Rachel- whats new?

AF-Alia, she has been a perfect child (I hope/pray it continues). She has been going to sleep at night pretty easy and has been getting up at 530am (when my alarm is set anyways!). However, she hasn't been very interested in her morning milk. This morning (similar to yesterday morning) she has taken like a half hour to drink (she usually drinks in 10 min) and only finishes like 4-5 oz of her 6 oz of milk. If this continues I might have to call the doc. I believe she has been drinking all 6 oz of her other bottles all day, so I am not supper concerned. Some people (like my DH) aren't "breakfast" people. Also, I believe there comes a time that solid foods start increasing and milk consumption starts decreasing... anyone have info on when that starts?

 

[goldstns]

miss Alia... she is starting to seem like a toddler to me!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Just had my 16 weeks midwife appointment. Uterus is exactly where is should be and baby sounds perfect

Sandy no idea this time round! I knew with Tristan! I guess it's because I've had so many people saying it's this or that.

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks Nikki. I think if we stay local it will be ok. I guess I am just tired and sore and want to nest.. even though I really enjoy camping. Alia is so big and cute!

Bb, great news!

49 days left!!!!
