TTC and Beyond!

[Lotalaughs16]

That's really pretty, waves!

 

[morganwhite7]

Oooh love Leah, super classy Oh and did I mention she looks just like Hannah you can tell!

 

[asmcsm]

Cute bumps girls! Amanda, I love te name LEah, super cute. Morgan, you're already 12+3! when are you going to announce?

AFM, I had a dream last night that I started bleeding Ugh horrible. Been getting some stretchy cramps last night and this morning. 9 more days to see the little bean!

 

[morganwhite7]

I announced BFP day!!

I'm just not going to brag on FB until our gender scan I don't think.. All of my friends and everyone really who matters knows, but I am scared of judgement. It just happened 6 months ago, don't want anyone to get the wrong idea when I am all excited posting about another baby. Even though if someone voiced that opinion, I'd prob tell them to kiss my ass!! But you know, trying to be as peaceful and graceful about this as possible. All of both of our families and friends were elated when we told them the news. They've been praying during my bleeding and telling me it's a GIRL since August! Can't wait to surprise everyone who doesn't know yet though, with some cool 3D gender reveal pics. I am soooo dang excited for that day. This week flew by, thank god. I am so ready!

Yours is the 25th right? I have my NT scan/quad screen the 24th. So that will be an eventful week for all of us.. I think a few other girls have appts that week too!

 

[morganwhite7]

I swear I just felt a poke, am I crazy? I am sure this wasn't gas.. I think. I am just sitting at my desk, kind of hunched over and it startled me! I guess no one will know for sure, but I swear I haven't felt a little poke like that since last year!

Going to frantically Google "quickening by 12 weeks?" and see what I find!

That had to be a serious gas bubble, but no tooting afterwards!! FX'd I'm not crazy! Lol

UPDATE- After reading, I see that many ladies report little intermittent flutters by 13 weeks, usually only w/ their 2nd though. Guess I'll pay close attention the next few weeks, see if it's really happening! Also anyone feel pulsating/throbbing in their uterus? I read some things about how it could be the placenta, but very frequently I feel like there is a heartbeat down there! So weird!

 

[TTCaWee1]

O Emily....where art thou???

In labor?? Sleeping? Nesting??

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

waves- very pretty name!

Morgan - I would hope no one would be judgemental, but I totally understand why you would think that. People can be real dicks.

My hormones are driving me NUTS. Today at work a superior was talking to me and I wasn't understanding something so he stopped and rolled his eyes and said "are you done!?!?" as in talking. I almost bawled right there. Normally i'd just be PISSED someone talked to me like that, but It seriously took everything I had not to burst into tears. I CANNOT have this happen at work all the time. I have to be kind of thick skinned at work. Ugh..

 

[morganwhite7]

Ew Britt I wanna punch him for you! Haha I hate unneccessary rudeness, like DUDE you have NO IDEA how I feel right now- no reason for you to add more stress to my life!!

Hang in there. Keep venting on here if it helps.. I always love to hear all the girls on here bash my coworker for being senseless too. Haha while I'm 3 feet away from her. She's gone for 30 days for surgery, I am LOVING IT. And the idea that by the time she comes back I'll know the sex and be able to worry about other things besides her gum-gnashing and persistent complaining!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Thanks Morgan! He's normally a pretty nice guy, but when he gets stressed out he's really a BEAR. I really wanted to say "Don't talk to me like that, ever again" but he's an executive and I don't really want start shit. Still, he should know that that's not how you communicate to someone at work. It's really unprofessional. It made me SO MAD.

 

[TTCaWee1]

I can't tell you the hormone rage gets any better...at least for me it has gotten worse. I cry at everything. I cried my eyes out listening to the 911 audio from an incident the other night that involved DHs people. He wasn't even involved, he was home sleeping next to me when it happened but still, all I can think of is that it could have been him. Ugh. I also cry watching the cops shows. I fought back tears today bc I saw a guy stop and pick up a flag that had fallen down. I cried the other day at work listening to an ems encode but then was totally composed 10 min later when we were working a traumatic cardiac arrest. Then there are rage moments...like earlier when I thought about shoving my receipt down a cashiers throat when she told me that I couldn't return pre-cut fabric. Wtf? I can understand if they cut it but if it's still in the wrapper why the f can't you return it? I was so pissed. And it was only $8.00 lmao. THEN there are amnesia/dyslexic moments. Like putting hand towels in the dishwasher, throwing an IV pump in the trash can, putting the whole can of food in the cats dish instead of scooping some out, um I went to costco today and handed the cashier the coupon book instead of my membership card....I really should write down all the stupid things I do each day. Just wait. It gets so much worse.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Oh great... can't wait for this!! lol

Nikki-My doc basically told me I didn't need to gain any weight and that's even with twins! As long as babies grow and I'm being healthy, I'm not worried.
We just booked a birth class and hospital tour! Exciting! Sorry you cried! So exciting your getting close
Yay baby shower time! I think we have our's booked for Jan!

You are all so cute!! i have been taking weekly pictures but they are all bloat for sure! ALso, having a hard couple of days. I seriously feel 100% NOT pregnant and it is so scary!!

When is your next doc apt?

Britt and Molly-Can't wait to see those bumps grow!

Morgan-You definitely have a nice little bump started now
I don't know how you do the puking everyday. I've missed like 6 days of school bc I just feel like crap and am so tired. Still haven't puked though! I'm just tired of being miserable.

I am positive I have felt something that was NOT gas at least twice. It was the slightest, quickest little flutter. I read that lots of people with twins feel things starting as early as 10 weeks. I'm totally convinced bc I never have gas things like that and not that low. I can't wait to really feel them!

Britt-Sorry about the jerk at work. I totally feel you. My boss does not give a crap that I'm pregnant, sick, stressed and struggling to stay caught up. I absolutely hate my job right now...everything makes me want to cry!

 

[wavescrash]

If we're friends on FB, you may have seen we decided on and announced the name. We're going with Leah Katherine. I'm feeling her move more tonight than ever before. It's down low and to the right which is where Hannah always used to hang out. But this whole anterior placenta thing has me bumming out big time. It explains why I've barely felt any solid movement and I'm worried it's going to be that way the whole pregnancy. If this is my last one (OH is overwhelmed and doesn't know if he wants any more), I'll be a little upset if I hardly ever feel this baby move, you know? I'm grateful to be pregnant... it's just one of those little things I loved so much about my previous pregnancies.

 

[asmcsm]

Yep Morgan appointment is on the 25th! Will be an exciting week for both of us!

Britt sorry that your hormones are getting the best of you!

 

[MrsAmk]

An anterior placenta sucks! I didnt feel Silas until I was 21 or 22 weeks!!! Not fair.

So just a little craziness- one of my 'friends' (well.. we used to be friends, not so much after choices she made. Let's call it facebook friends- LOL) Went to her gender u/s today to find out.... and was told she's having TWIN girls!!!!! The first u/s they did at 12 weeks they only saw the one- they are identical too! So crazy they missed it! Maybe some more of you have twins in there we just don't know about yet... or a third for Julie LOL

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Wow! That's crazy!!!

holy cow. SURPRISE! I don't know what I would do if that happened to me!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

I know it's SO FAR AWAY, but I really want to know the sex of my "baby" (It's not even an embryo yet. LOL). I have always wanted boys, but I have a very strong "want" for this to be a girl. Not sure why, I've just decided I want a little lady!

 

[clynn11]

It'll be here before you know it Britt!!!

Ash- is Chad gonna be able to make it to the scan??
