TTC and Beyond!

[clynn11]

Nothing since that random pain last night. No change in dilation at my appt.- still 1.5cm dilated, and 50-75% effaced (1-2cm long in comparison to 2-3cm long at last appt). Ugh. COME ON BABY GIRL!

 

[brunettebimbo]

I can't believe your only 2 days away from due date! She will be here soon

 

[frsttimemama]

That's frustrating Cass, but that IS progress! When do they start checking? I can't remember.

 

[clynn11]

My doctor started checked me at 38+5 (39 week appt. basically)

 

[goldstns]

Cassidy- my sil went into labor that night she was just told she was 1cm and 80%....so it could happen anytime.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Cassidy I hope she gets here soon.
Alia is gorgeous.
Sandy I think you made the right decision.
Bb your gorgeous.
Afm work was long, show heifer got into parsnip and her nose is gross, someone thought I had a baby. Yep I'm over today.
And I'm spotting

 

[clynn11]

Maybe ovulation spotting Katrina? That's kind of random, have you ever spotted in the middle of your cycle before?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Not that I can recall, I will look at my charts.
Edit no spotting or bleeding after CD 7 in any charts.

 

[frsttimemama]

Katrina, fx it's a good sign for this cycle!!

Seven weeks from today we will be meeting our little man. Unbelievable! Cannot wait! Also can't wait for another 12 hour day to be done! Lol. Work is kicking my pregnant booty lately.

 

[clynn11]

Definitely lost some of my plug this morning! No blood in it or anything, but hoping it's the starts of something!!

 

[frsttimemama]

Yay Cass! Fx!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Fx Cassidy.
Sandy I hope so, we are definitely considering taking a break after this cycle. I wish I could unlearn what cm means and just go with the flow. I had a bit of a mental breakdown last night. Mostly because a family friend had her second child since we started ttc. One was born in october and the other yesterday.

 

[TTCaWee1]

Not much new over here. My dad is visiting. Pumping once a day but only getting 4 oz so they are dying down.

Cass - I hope it is soon!

Katrina - I feel the same about trying for the next. I wish I didn't know what I know. I hope it's just a strong O for you.

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

Awe, Julie, I'm sorry they decided that!! Like Bb said though, regardless of genes you guys will be a beautiful family!!

Julie that stinks, but it's not genes that make a family. Your family will be beautiful regardless.

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!

Thanks ladies, I completely agree...I think it's just disappointing bc we discussed everything up front and they knew how many kids we wanted. I just don't like having my plans change, especially for something major like that. If we have to use a known donor registry or a sperm bank, it sucks that Liv and G will know who their donor is while the other children might not. That part of it makes me sad. But I completely agree that a family is about love, not genetics...

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!

Lol I love it! That's great! I plan to be honest with my kids without going into too much detail...

Nikki-That's strange that she has changed up her morning bottle like that. Liv and G do that all the time. I prepare 3 oz bottles, but sometimes they only drink 1.5-2oz and other times they drink 4oz...lol Hopefully it's not an indicator of anything more for her, just a change in habits.
I can't believe she's getting so big!

 

[Ingodshand]

Cassidy-how are you feeling? Any more plug or contractions?

 

[asmcsm]

Cass you will def know the labor contractions when they start trust me! Eeeek! Should start any time! I started losing bits of my plug 2 days before I went I to labor and then the night before when I was having the contractions 10 mins apart is when I started seeing blood in it. I'm gonna guess that Zuri will be here Sunday .

BB-lmao at you and Tristan talking about where baby comes out! So cute and hilarious!

AFM, lux slept for 6 hours straight last night!!! I fed her at 10:30 and woke up thinking it was like 1:30 when she'll normally wake up for feeding but it was 4:30! Hopefully this becomes the norm!

 

[Cowgirl07]

That's awesome Ashlee!

 

[clynn11]

That's awesome she slept so well Ash!!!

I lost two pieces of plug this morning, once at 7.30 when I woke up and then more again around 8.30- but nothing since then. After the second time I was sitting at the computer and got intense pain, got up to walk around and could barely walk. It went away pretty quickly though and that was the only time that happened. Nothing since then. Hoping things start kicking into gear!!

 

[brunettebimbo]

Exciting! I hope it's the start for you Happy due date!

 

[clynn11]

Annnd of course my little sister goes into labor on my due date LOL. Looks like my nephew is gonna be born today.
