TTC and Beyond!

[goldstns]

S-O H-U-N-G-R-Y!!!

UGH I need to leave work so I can go eat. I have nothing to eat here.

PS. I HATE my boss (aka contracting company)... i NEED to get one of those jobs I applied for!

Forensics would be awesome!!!!! I always wanted to be a forensic pathologist and analyze crime scenes....

I'm starving too! I'm back on a pork chop kick...ate 3 last night for dinner. Just went and bought more for tonight lol. Oh and pizza rolls bc I had a dream about them lol.

Oh yeah, I put on my maternity jeans for the first time and I LOVE them!!!! Soooooo comfy!!!

Rachel-If they pain keeps up, definitely call your doc. I called to ask for zofran and to talk about my depression. I mentioned that I had some uterine pains and asked if they thought it was stretching. They had me come in so they could check for infections. Also checked my cervix to make sure it wasn't preterm labor or anything. Also got to see the babies! Anyway, all is good, but better safe than sorry!
Got the zofran and I'm feeling better already...I hate to take meds, but I've been miserable!
Maternity jeans are kind of annoying for me, but so much more comfortable than regular clothes! I wish I could live in yoga pants lol

Britt-You might be able just to call and ask about it. My doc is usually pretty willing to do things over the phone, especially if I already have an apt scheduled.

Nikki-I'm right there with you! I hate my freaking boss! I think that's where a lot of my depression is coming from (hating my boss, anxiety about my boss). I've thought of applying for other jobs, but that's hard this time of year for teachers. I might try to talk HR into moving me elsewhere...

Morgan-I can't wait to find out what your little baby is What are you taking for the constipation associated with zofran? I forgot to ask the doc when I was there.

Like I said, got the zofran. Feeling better already. Doc gave me the names of some psychologists I can talk to. I cried...she said not to worry, I was the 3rd one this afternoon lol She suggested lightening my workload. Not sure how to do that without being demoted...which means a pay cut. With twins on the way that just stresses me out lol I might just talk to HR and see what my options are. I just don't think I can work with my boss anymore. Maybe there's some type of office job I can do where I don't work with the kids for now but make the same amount of money...I doubt it, but I can hope! lol

Got to see the babies, they look like little babies and not so much like little blobs with tails and nubs! Baby B was laying on top of Baby A and jumping all around. Poor Baby A was trying to sleep or something but getting trampled lol

Britt I have read that. It decreases your chance of miscarriage because it means that your body is doing a good job producing all the pregnancy hormones, which happen to make you feel like complete crap lol. When I went to the dr the other day he told me to not be mad at baby for making me feel sick because it's the hormones fault!

 

[asmcsm]

I had no ms last time so it's a comfort to me however I HATE feeling sick and puking every morning

 

[jury3]

Where are Kara and Sonia???

Any word from Emily???

Morgan-Those are cute lol I saw one that said "Jingle Belly", I kinda like it!

Britt-I still have not puked once, only been miserably nauseated. They had no problems offering the zofran.

Also girls, my doc said to make sure I'm drinking plenty of water. She said that can cause cramping too. So drink up!

 

[Disneybaby26]

I'm here!! Sorry I've been MIA-I had that sinus I infection that turned out to be a double ear infection as well-lol! So I've been getting my rest, feeling better but still have horrible Preggo rhinitis...like congestion and watery eyes and nose like you can't believe!

Also, this past weekend was my due date from our first baby and it kinda slapped me upside the face the other day. Not that I'm not grateful and thankful and so in love with thi baby-I just felt like I needed to grieve for the other baby a bit...

Morgan- your fb post today had me in tears! You are such a strong, admirable mama xx

Rachel- I hope your cramps go away! No shame in calling the doc and asking what they think though. I know as medical people I think sometimes we feel silly asking or being sacred of being a pain in the butt patient but if its bothering you I think it's warranted! I hope you feel better!!

Nikki- fingers crossed for those jobs! They both sounds so awesome and interesting! I'd be so into forensics!!

Julie- I'm sorry you're feeling so down . I hope the zofran helps a lot and I don't think it's a bad idea to talk to HR about moving you. You had anxiety about this job and this boss before you were pregnant!

Britt&Ashlee- I hope you girls feel better soon too!!

Went to my first prenatal yoga class tonight with my girlfriend...LOVED it! If any of you have one in your area I highly recommend!! Just a bunch of preggos talking about everything we talk about on here but in real life!! So informative, and relaxing, and fun!

 

[Disneybaby26]

I did *not* love however, that she asked me if I was Preggo bc you have to be to take the class...boo Come on belly!! POP!!!

 

[jury3]

Lol Kara, that's funny they even asked. I wonder how many people try to sign up for prenatal yoga when they aren't pregnant? I think I may need to try that out. Between the stress and the stretching and pain I'm starting to get, it would be great!
Sorry you had such a rough weekend I hope you are feeling better...No shame in mourning for the baby you lost. Just bc you have another baby now doesn't mean you shouldn't remember the first one

 

[Disneybaby26]

Thanks Julie! Haha, I think she was half serious, half busting my chops lol...wouldn't it be so awkward if someone who wasn't pregnant just popped in! They also offer fertility yoga, so maybe she thought I was in the wrong glass?! Lol! Lots of great connections, they have lactation specialists and hypnobirthing specialists, even placenta pill makers that come in and talk at the studio (not during class time) and that's all free!! The yoga is expensive, $80 for 6 classes but hell, it's less than what I spent on wine for sure!!

 

[pdxmom]

Hi ladies...I'm alive but I feel like crap...I'm super nauseated n tired ALL THE TIME!!!! I wake up feeling Gud but after a couple of hrs BAmmm!!! I've just puked like 3 times till now...there's no pattern for it to come on tho...I try to keep munching on sth bcos having a full meal doesn't seem to agree with me at all...I'm soooooo tired

 

[wavescrash]

My OB had told me that making sure to constantly drink water will help with the nausea more so than eating small, frequent meals. Sour candy also helped me. I had to eat it constantly but that's okay by me if it meant less nausea.

Don't worry ladies... it does get better

 

[jury3]

Kara-that sounds awesome!

Sonia-I'm sorry means baby is well though! I totally feel you though..

 

[morganwhite7]

Kara- Thanks a bunch! I definitely feel ya on grieving for another baby while pregnant.. On top of our already raging hormones it is hard to deal with an event like that. As you read, I had an anniversary too and they are so hard.. esp to grieve with another child, it just made me confused and sad. I don't want to miss out on anything with this child so I hate it when I start feeling guilty for being so "into" pregnancy again. It is hard for sure.. I am so thankful for having you girls to be able to talk to about it all. What tough mamas we'll be after it all though

And on the yoga topic- I have been looking online for DVDs but maybe I should look for a class close by! I have been pretending I'm going to start walking again but every evening it is just so cold!! And I feel like I'd be much more likely to go work out/chat with a bunch of other preggos! That sounds like a blast!! Haha I can't even imagine- BnB IRL!!

AFM- I have this cute little bumpie every morning now. It doesn't go away after I #2 anymore LOL so looking forward to watching it grow. Snapped some pre-makeup/post-pukefest doozies for you all.. Lol

Oh and Happy Hump Day to all!!!

 

[MrsAmk]

So cute Morgan!!

 

[goldstns]

morgan you are so cute!!!!

Today is the day of doc apts...

1st one is with my dietitian specialist about my GD
2nd is to meet a pediatrician we might use
3rd is my OBGYN

 

[goldstns]

I might be a little premature for you all, but anyone here looking into a doula or every use a doula (for those of you on baby #2...EMILY?)

 

[MrsAmk]

I might be a little premature for you all, but anyone here looking into a doula or every use a doula (for those of you on baby #2...EMILY?)

Me! I will most def. be having a doula again. Such a huge comfort factor and advocate for everything you want when you dont have the strength to push/argue for it. Not to mention amazing support through labor! My last midwife is going to be my acting doula since I need to birth at a hospital this time.

 

[asmcsm]

I'm pretty sure I will be using a doula. My coworker is actually a certified doula and said she'd do it for free

 

[morganwhite7]

My MOM is a doula! So we will definitely be using her as planned. They are great for support, esp when a mama is EXHAUSTED and nervous for new things. They help through labor and are just there for awesome educated WOMAN support. Sometimes family/doctors don't make you feel as comfy as you'd like. I imagine it would be a great relief to have a "Mom" specialist around to help you feel confident when learning how to care for baby!

And thanks girls for pardoning the morning look.. HAHA I swear my hair isn't feathered it looks awful in those pics! Lol and the jelly belly at the bottom.. how fitting!
