TTC and Beyond!

[Cowgirl07]

Thanks sandy! I feel out, for no reason really at all. I am so glad to be home though. To many late nights.
Pictures of my "babies" attached and the one I sold a few months ago.

Aww moo-babies 😍

Kara - we do first morning bottle, then wait 30 min-1 hr and do breakfast. Just depending on her mood. Usually closer to 30 min though. Then she has bottles the rest of the day until 6-7, then I give her dinner. I try to give it no later than 6:30 so that there's 2 hours between her solids and last bottle. Sometimes the bottle before dinner ends up being around 6 though so I have to push dinner back. The last 2 days have been that way so I just gave 4 oz instead of 5 tonight bc she's been puking a lot the last few days close to bedtime.

Thanks guys!! Very confusing and I guess kinda trial an error when you're first starting.

Rachel-so "dinner" replaces a bottle?

Maybe I should wait to talk to the doc, she's so tiny I'd feel like shit if she like lost weight or something!

Nikki-we used to do sleep sacks and then one day I put her in the footie pjs and she slept so well! I totally hear you on the blanket thing too! Makayla LOVES snuggling a blankie! I give her one for naps but overnight still scared me-at alias age I totally think you're okay though!

Dog woke up and barfed at 4:30am-and then commotion woke the baby up, gonna be a loooooong day!! Extra large coffee for this mama.

Katrina, so cute! Sorry you feel out. Hope you are wrong.

What are sleep sacks?

Ew kara! Hope your day gets better!

One month from today, I'm having this baby! Eek! Just gotta survive til then. I cannot get comfortable in bed anymore.

 

[TTCaWee1]

No Kara the solids are in addition to her bottles. She still gets 5 oz every 3-4 hours. Closer to 4 usually.

Morning Ladies,

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Katrina, I've been praying for you...I want this to be your month so badly!!! Glad you had fun at the fair!

Sandy, unfortunately hubs can't make it really to any of my appts but I think he will rearrange his schedule to make it to one ultrasound probably later this year. My sister is going to come with my on the 12th and they said we should be able to hear the hb at that appt.

Cassidy, thanks for sharing your story...I'm so glad she's finally here and you get to enjoy motherhood!

Happy Monday!

Kara, that stinks, silly dog.
Thanks ladies. I slept in today, and still feel like a bum. I want to try to get some housework done. I haven't done any all weekend except some laundry.

Hello ladies!

Kara- Harper is great. Growing like a weed! Her two month appointment is next week and i'm anxious to see if she's gained an "acceptable" amount of weight since we've been doing Soy and giving her the Zantac. She is doing much better there and is now eating 4 oz. Last night she ate almost 6oz.

I go back to work on 9/2 and I think i'm most anxious/worried that Harper will "forget" that i'm Mommy because she will be with another woman all day. I know that it's silly, but she doesn't know anyone other than me (mostly). Once I know she's okay with the sitter, i'll probably be a little better. I'll be a wreck my first day at work.

Britt- totally understand...i was scared Alia would think her daycare teacher was mommy...not me. But I'll b honest Alia is sooo excited when I walk in to pick her up...she def knows I'm mommy!!

Katrina - cute cows!!! I always wonder if cows get bored.

 

[frsttimemama]

Brittney, that stinks! I can't imagine.

I got a little organizing done last night in his room. It was mostly done, just a few things that needed sorted into the right size tote, etc. I started packing his bag. I am just so ready. Physically, I'm exhausted and uncomfortable, but it's tolerable. I can live with it. I just really want to meet him and get past having him. I am getting more terrified by the day. I try to be positive, but there is this little piece of doubt that will never go away since we have had the experience we had. I just need him out and healthy and for that to be done. It's so hard to wait patiently for that.

 

[Cowgirl07]

Ours did. They were very lazy. The one hated kids though, she freaked out when one tried to hold her. Oh well they never see children.

 

[frsttimemama]

Ugh so ticked. We were getting things ready and realized we left the batteries in the BRAND NEW baby swing.. and they blew up alllll over the inside. It no longer works. It wasn't even used. Just so frustrating. I can order a replacement part for a total of $40 with shipping and handling. Not sure if I'm going that route or buying a new darn swing. Excuse me for not thinking to look for batteries when we stuck all this stuff out of our sight. Sorry for the rant. I'm just ticked and frustrated!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Oh no, did you call the company. I'm glad it was closed though Dh had a battery explode in a tractor and it was bad. They can do some damage, to floors, pets etc.

 

[goldstns]

Sry sandy!!

booked and ready for my 30th bday in Jamaica... And then starting our baby making process after that trip.

 

[frsttimemama]

No, I didn't call. The batteries were put in in June of 2013.. our bad. Just one of those things I guess.

Katrina, I bet that was horrible! I am glad it stayed mostly contained and the dog didn't get into it.

Nikki, that sounds like fun!

Hey girls. Just checking in. Sorry I've been slacking but been having friendship drama . My friend left her hubby for no reason other than thinking the grass is greener. I've been there for her. My hubs is mates with hers so went to check on him, she finds out and now I get a load of abuse over texts and calling me all sorts. I hate falling out with people, her loss though.
Girls I can't believe how big your babies are getting, they grow too fast .
Awwwww look at those cows, I want to cuddle them, I love cows .
Sandy shame about the swing, do you have a second hand shop? I'm getting a double pram from one, been to look and everything looks brand new. Also are you having a planned c section?
Brittney how are you ? Any sickness yet?

 

[frsttimemama]

We don't have anything like that close. I will probably just order the replacement motor and arm for $40 since the swing was over $100 new and we really like it. Just grr! Yes, I am having a scheduled c-section in less than a month officially! September 18. What a crazy deal with your friends!

Is it normal to just feel lousy in general? Mostly kinda nauseated since yesterday afternoon. Bleh.

Sandy...what a bummer about the swing! I wouldn't think to take the batteries out either...I would call the company and see if they will do anything for you before ordering the replacement parts...you never know what they'll say but the worst thing that could happen is you end up spending $40 like you originally planned.

Collette, sorry about your friend...definitely her loss though. Its alwasy tough when your friends with both people and they break up...grr.
I'm feeling good, just been cramping alot and my boobs are killing me! They feel so full all the time lol. I also ordered a belly band already...Im SOOO bloated I didnt even know this much bloating was possible! I've been tying my jeans with a hair tie hehe

Nikki, that's exciting...I want to go to Jamaica!

 

[Kiamaria83]

Wow sandy that's so close. Exciting. I feel generally rubbish most of the time aswell, it's a heavy load to carry around.
Bloating sucks, it will go down before the bump comes though 😃
