TTC and Beyond!

I swear I had that sometimes BB!!! Maybe little muscle spasms but I swear I know what you're talking about!

Rachel-where are you!?! :)
 
My grandma twice wished us a happy anniversary for dh and I and Alia and "your next baby". Apparently she thinks I'm Prego?
 
I'm here. Reading along. Nothing new or exciting to post. Ellie is amazing. She's trying to sit. She does pretty good but loses interest and falls over. She's also trying to crawl but can't get herself coordinated so she looks like a worm on a sidewalk.
 
Morning Ladies!

I'm going to try to respond to everything...

Nikki, glad you had a good date night/anniversary/ glad alia's butt is better

Sandy, You are so close to the end, I'm sorry you're feeling really lousy -- you can definitely get through 4 days you've got this mama!!

Ash, did you call the doc about Lux's possible UTI?

bb, sorry I have no suggestions about the vibrations...

Katrina, Good luck with the RE...I hope this new chapter bring you new babydust :hugs:

Brit, that's great about your maternity leave!!

Kara, how are you feeling?

Collette, sorry baby is breech, hope he/she can flip in time!

Cassidy, How are you mama?

Rachel, good to hear from you! thats awesome that Ellie is trying to sit and crawl, all these babies are growing so fast :)

ok, did I miss anyone??

AFM, I still have very minimal symptoms...which I'm thankful for but at the same time it makes me wonder whats going on in there :wacko: I went shopping this weekend with my mom and we got some maternity clothes because my butt is expanding at a rapid pace! I have a little bump but its still just bloat I think because I've been so constipated lately...I'm wearing dresses all week to try to hide my bloat bump lol...When did you ladies start to get a little bump?? oh we also told my dad's side of the family and at the end of the week we'll tell my mom's side. However we STILL haven't told hubbys family because their computer broke and his cousin is taking forever to borrow a computer from her boyfriend which is kind of annoying because i just want to tell them already!!! We're also onto round 2 of dog training school for Zara because she a little crazy so I'm hoping to get her listening a little better before I get too big because chasing her down the street carrying a large baby bump is just not something I want to get into...other than that, I've got nothing really going on over here.
 
Brittany- I think ur having a boy, with the lack of ms. I can't remember when I started to show. Maybe 8-10weeks, but I'm a big girl so I think it shows faster.
 
Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I did email Lux's ped since she had another little spot in her diaper on Monday and he said that it can be normal in baby girls her age and that it's very unlikely that it's a UTI because she would inconsolably fussy so he said that if she starts to get that way or spotting increases to bring her in but other than that not to worry.
 
I threw up daily until 18 weeks and I'm having a boy :lol:

I had a bloat bump quite early on. My bump has shrunk recently. I think I way be losing weight :(
 
Definitely shrinking!

19+3 in the green and today at 21 weeks in the black.

Ladies familiar with reflux: Harper is coughing a lot! After eating, and if we lay her on her back. I'm getting worried that her reflux may be more serious. Is this normal?? She doesn't seemed bothered by it, but it scares me. Also, immediately after burping her, she will cough like something came up. She's already on Zantac. She doesn't have another appointment until November. If it's harmless, I'll wait, but I have no idea!!
 
Well girls ntnp went out the window. Monday I have what I assume is o spotting. It was CD 13. Lol my goal is to call the re tomorrow and I'm nervous. Ok honestly scared shitless.
 
Katrina- praying for u. When I saw re I was scared too, but so worth it.
 
Britt - she may have outgrown her dosage. Ellie's has been increased a few times already.

Brittney - I think I popped around 11 weeks. And I didn't get nausea until 6/7 weeks.

Bb - you def shrunk.

I agree with Rachel, maybe she needs her dosage upped since she's bigger now. We haven't changed Grayson's dosage, but I feel like his has improved a little on it's own. I actually tried decreasing the dosage but he seemed fussier, so we left it. Both of mine cough and seem like they have choked on something. Or they will make a face like they ate something that tasted bad. I think it's a combo of learning how to swallow properly and things coming back up a little. It's never been excessive enough for me to worry about it.
 
Julie. That's exactly what she does!! Sometimes she looks like she's "chewing" something or that something is in her mouth. I wonder if she needs to go in to see someone, or I can just call. I really don't want to go in again. We were just there. Lol
 
I just called mine when I noticed it wasn't working as well.

Nikki what did Alias doc say about the puking? Ellie pukes ALL day long. She's gaining weight and happy though so idk.

Hi Katrina!
 
Rachel- Both docs (we went for a second opinion) said it is normal until 18 months old to puke like that. They said a muscle at the top of the tummy isn't strong enough to hold food down sometimes. They said if she's not upset and she gaining, then there is nothing wrong with her. They did also listen to her belly to make sure. However, they said it is normal. They said some kids are worse then others. Usually it slows down at 8 months though. Knock on wood, but Alia hasn't had a really bad puking day in a while. However, this morning she spit up 3 times, but small amounts. She turns 8 months tomorrow, so I do think it is getting better around 8 months. Only thing they recommended is to make sure we aren't over feeding her because some babies don't know when to stop eating and that makes them puke. However, seeing as though Alia was only doing it about once a week, I didn't think that was it because she ate the same amount every day.

For those of you (Rachel) that are feeding their babies solids... how many oz? I know Alia is the oldest of the group, but we are feeding her 4oz at 3 meals a day, plus puffs and usually something else small that she can use her fingers with. Daycare, thinks she's still hungry which is why she isn't napping. However, Alia is a BIG girl compared to her older classmates, so I don't wanna over feed her. But thinking about it she was eating that amount since about 6 months old, so I am not sure if I should up it.
 
October 20th at 3 pm we are going to see the re.
Nikki couple you maybe up one feeding by a half ounce and see if it makes a difference.

Hannah spit up a lot as a baby and didn't outgrow it until around a year. Everyone told me she would outgrow it by 9 months so imagine my disappointment when she didn't. Leah spits up like crazy too. I gave up on the Zantac because it didn't seem to make any difference.

As for the feedings, she's only getting a jar a day (half in the morning, half at night) and no snacks (Puffs, etc.) I still offer her full bottles. She gets 7oz every 4 hours. She'll get half a jar of food an hour after her morning bottle and gets half a jar of food an hour before her last bottle.
 
ok ladies, I need to buy Alia and nice dress (I'm having fun looking!). Anyways, it needs to have some sort of sleeve to cover her shoulders, not white and keep in mind it is fall/cold-ish. I was going to use the dress for 2 occasions. 1. a wedding on Sept 20th in Chicago (evening) and 2. her naming ceremony in a Jewish temple in Cleveland in mid Oct (night). Here are a few.... opinions? Feel free to show me some too....
