TTC and Beyond!

[Disneybaby26]

I'd call the doc and see what they say Ash, I'd be scared of a UTI.

Nikki-how was Alia acting and how old was she before she cut a tooth? Makayla has been moaning constantlyyyyyy! It's driving me a little crazy!

I looked into the Hyland teething tablets but they have chamomelle and belladonna in them?! Belladonna is an opiate, wtf?! I gave her some Tylenol tonight, I don't know what else to do!

Alia was very cranky. wouldn't go to sleep. crying. screaming. It started when she was 5 months, but her first tooth didn't come until 6 months. Rub your fingers on her gums, you will feel it, sharp/pointy hard feeling. However, they are sometimes in pain before one comes. We tried hyland (doc ok-ed it) and it didn't really do anything for Alia. CHILDREN Tylenol was the best for her (2.5 mL under 6 months, 3.7 mL now that shes over 6 months). There was a point we could tell when Tylenol was wearing off and it was like every 4 hours on the dot. Doc said the amount of Tylenol she was getting wouldn't hurt her liver/kidney (which ever it is). Our doc said no oral gel.

Date night to our favorite restaurant (Bone Fish Grill) tonight for our 2 year anniversary!! SIL is babysitting... hopefully not late like last time.

Ash, I'd call the doc, too. Sounds like maybe a UTI, but I'm certainly no expert!

Kara, what about like the cool teething rings, too?

Nikki, happy anniversary.

AFM, I'm still here. Still pregnant. Still sick. Had a contraction last night. It was horrible! I'm pretty sure I never had contractions when I was in labor. At least not any that were going to do anything to get that baby outta there. Geesh! Last antibiotic today, and I don't feel any better. Worse maybe. Hubby thinks bronchitis. Yuck. Trying to hold out to see my doc again Wednesday though. Trying to find the energy to clean, but so far, the closest I have come is Pinteresting with coffee in hand. Haha.

Last night was so enjoyable.

so if any of your babies get a diaper rash I recommend letting them sleep without a diaper. Yes, its a mess in the morning, but its the only thing that's helped Alia.... And its working well!

 

[Disneybaby26]

So as you had a nice night Nikki, happy anniversary!!

Sandy-I was sick like that when I went into labor it was awful!! There was none of that "in through your nose out through your mouth" bs!! Lol! I hope you feel better soon!!!

Makayla is a cranky moaning mess, hopefully it passes soon!

 

[frsttimemama]

And I'm still miserable sick. I can't breath, hear, or be energetic. It's great. I'm whiny. And over it. Lol. And I have to clean because we are having house guests next weekend. Love them, but just not loving cleaning. Lol. On a bright note, it's finally baby month! 17 days!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Nikki I hope you had a great anniversary!
Sandy I hope you feel better soon.
Kara that's crazy how can they give that to kids.
Sorry for anyone I missed.
Afm the search for an re is on. We have it narrowed down to two.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

By some crazy stroke of luck, my HR lady told me I still have another week of maternity leave. So I'm not going back until the 15th!!!! Soooo happy!!!

Harper is 10 weeks today. She's just recently started pulling blankets and bibs up to her mouth. She smiles a ton, and is finally okay with the car seat. Yay!!!!

 

[Kiamaria83]

Hi girls.
That's awesome Britt. 😀
Nikki how's alia?
Sandy how are you feeling ?
Had a crappy day today, I had a routine midwife appt and I mentioned baby wasn't moving as much so had to go to hospital and get hooked up to machines for hours. All is good but baby is breech . They have said they will give baby 2 weeks to move but if not they will attempt to spin baby. They also said they advise you to still have a vaginal birth. Do any of you girls have any experience with this ? I can't believe I'm 34 weeks tomorrow .

 

[brunettebimbo]

My Mum had my brother vaginally breech and had no problems

 

[frsttimemama]

Brit, that's awesome!

Collette, I feel lousy. Thanks for asking. Sorry baby is breech! Hopefully baby turns!

I have cleaned ALL day.. closets, pantry, my car.. and still not happy with it. Ugh. Lol. Anyone know if any teeth whitening products are safe while pregnant? I am wanting to whiten before baby is born.. just don't want to hurt him.

 

[clynn11]

Sorry baby is breech Colette, fingers crossed they flip!

Sorry you're feeling crappy Sandy Not sure about the teeth whitening.

 

[goldstns]

Good luck Collett. IV never heard of that.

alia's butt is looking much better thanks to naked sleeping. Cleaning up wasn't fun!

we had a wonderful dinner...i love that man!

we spent the day carpet cleaning with a machine we rented from home depot. Tomorrow we r mopping. Getting floors ready for the crawler.

best thing ever: Alia said "mamma"!!!!!!!!!! However its not yet associated with me. Grandma said the old wives tale is that if baby says mamma first then your next baby is a girl....NO we want a boy!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Nikki my first word was mama, I then had a sister whose first word was no, then my brother was born lol

 

[Disneybaby26]

My first word was shit!...then came my sister

 

[goldstns]

Haha...u all crack me up.

 

[frsttimemama]

Thanks Cass! How are you guys doing? Yikes

Nikki, glad Alia is better. I've never heard that.. hm!

I just have to get through the next 4 days.. then maternity leave begins. Thank goodness. I have no energy, and I may have to work night shift tomorrow night after I work my day shift.. boo. I did 3 am to 1 pm Friday and it about did me in.. lol.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Has anyone had small vibrations low down in the bump that lasts a few seconds? I never had it with Tristan.

 

[frsttimemama]

No, sorry BB!

And on to day 9 of respiratory infection. I really wanted to stay in bed. All day. Lol.

 

[goldstns]

Bb- maybe hiccups?

dh and I aren't fans of this daycare... It better get better! We walled in at 655am this morning and the director says "we aren't open til 7am, you need to keep Alia until then." omg what a bitch...she could have said good morning or the word please.
