TTC and Beyond!

[asmcsm]

You'll be fine with the stuff that just numbs the crap out of you. That's how I did it and I turned out better off than most who went under. No throwing up and feeling crappy and no chipmunk cheeks. And I recovered a lot faster too. Slept for a couple hours after but then was up and about for the next few days. You'll be A-okay. Also wouldn't worry too much about the x-Ray if they're double vesting you. I'm sure they've dealt with many pregnant women and know what they're doing.

I agree with Ashlee-I got mine out under numbing-didn't get sick just a little bit of swelling and I felt almost normal after sleeping the rest of the day. The only sucky thing was the diet. But I was back to normal food in about a week.

 

[morganwhite7]

Thanks so much girls!! I'll tell them I'm alright to go ahead and do it then. Leaving work in just a moment OH MA GAWSH!

Lol talk to you all later!

 

[MrsAmk]

Cannot wait!!!!! lol I am as excited for you as if it were me going in

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Me too!!!! I can't wait to know!

Waves- Wow I can't believe how far along you are.. Does she move around all day now? Looks like she moved up a bit this week too! So cute. Love the belly button, mine is starting to show through shirts now too lol

Me either! I honestly can't tell. I have an anterior placenta and her movements are still very cushioned. Everyone I've talked to that had an anterior placenta said they felt constant movement closer to 24/25 weeks so I'm assuming as time goes on, I'll feel her more often. Some days I don't remember feeling anything. I don't recall feeling anything yesterday but at work today, I felt some low jabs that were pretty uncomfortable lol. But they were so welcomed because I had been worried about the lack of movement I was feeling. Like most babes, I feel her more at night. Definitely feeling her more as the days pass. I just can't wait until it's the constant movements I remember from previous pregnancies. Damn anterior placenta :/

I'm carrying her super low but my bump does look a little higher to me this week as well. I swear, every week another co-worker comments about how I've "popped". I feel like I'm popping every week now lol.

I had my wisdom teeth removed (not while pregnant though) with just novocaine (sp?). They just gave me a ton of shots of that and I didn't feel a thing.

Saw on FB you're having a girl! Congrats & welcome to the club I can't remember for sure but I'm pretty certain I predicted girl for you based on the skull shape. So exciting for you guys!

Morgan-First of all, HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY!!!! I wasn't online at all on your bday and missed it!
Second of all, CONGRATS ON THE BABY GIRL!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!
Yay for not puking finally! I definitely think your belly has popped!

Britt-Sorry you're so sick Can you ask for medicine from your doc? You've got to do something so you can eat and drink....I didn't eat or drink a lot for a few weeks though, I'm pretty sure it's normal. Just do what you can and hang in there! It won't last forever!

 

[morganwhite7]

I've got an anterior placenta too we just found out! Def feeling tiny pokes but nothing regular or forceful yet lol.

Pretty positive she is........ Marley Willow White

 

[wavescrash]

Lovely name

Welcome to the annoying anterior placenta club :/

 

[brunettebimbo]

Congratulations Morgan!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Awwwww Congrats Morgan! I'm hoping for a sweet girl myself!

Julie- I could ask for medicine, but i'm not nauseous. It's strange. It's just like terrible food aversions. When I bring ANYTHING to my lips I can't eat it. What I do eat, I have to force. I've lost a pound and half so far this week. I'm not worried though because I had a couple lbs to lose any way.

 

[goldstns]

well things are getting SO real!

Shower tomorrow!! YAY!

We got Alia's mattress in the mail from a friend yesterday... so just put it in her crib. I did a TON of nesting yesterday and cleaned ALL of her stuff (clothing/toys/blankets..) . So after the shower all I have to do is stuff from the shower.

My HOPES are to have EVERYTHING in order before thanks giving, so then all I have to do is doc apts (since they are weekly at minimum, not sure if I told you because of the GD and insulin im considered high risk) and pack the hospital bag.

This weekend is the shower, and my bestie is coming in from AZ for it (she is preggo w/#2). So I told her sunday she is going to come with me to babier r us and help me get everything I need for nursing (like nip pads, creams, bra's...). Then next sat we are going to 2 of our co-workers houses to go through there baby stuff (they are giving it to us for free!). Then that evening we will do our last shopping spree at babies r us to complete what we need for Alia (I believe I have everything for me...like pads...). Following weekend will be a nesting weekend of cleaning and setting up all her stuff!! Then turkey week! After turkey week will be pack hospital bag and LOTS of apts!

PS. we have a US set up for wed! if all looks good that will be our last US. If anything looks wrong Doc said she is sending me to get a US with a high risk facility. HOPEFULLY all is good! I believe doc will fill us in on anything we need to know about her birth.. like if we need to be induced or C, because of the GD.

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Wow Nikki! It's coming down to the wire for you!!!!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Wow Nikki, she will be here so soon!

 

[asmcsm]

Yay Nikki! So exciting she's going to be here soon!

Ugh not a good morning for me. Woke up and felt fine since I actually had solid sleep last night without feeling sick but as soon as I sat up that changed. Went out and sat on the couch and asked hubby for a glass of water and as soon as I took a gulp knew it was all bad. I started salivating a ton and dry heaving a little. Went in the bathroom to spit out the abundance of saliva and threw up instead. Fortunately the water I drank made it a little less harsh but still no bueno.

 

[morganwhite7]

Yes Ashlee I know what you mean.. sometimes I will take ONE bite too many (multiple occasions lately) and have to nonchalantly spit it into a napkin before I puke it all back up! Exactly like what you were saying, you start to salivate insanely and you're like- OK this is NOT gonna be good! LOL. I hope you feel better.. It will go away one day sweets, it's just getting through the roughhh beginning that is hardest! I promise once you're through it will be smooth sailing!! Keep hydrated! (or try lol)

P.s. I think I remember you being the crocheter..... I am going to buy yarn/hooks at lunch (have NO IDEA what I'm doing/looking for). I think I want THICK yarn and soft too. Also Michael's or Joann's? I have both within 5 miles!

 

[asmcsm]

Yea it definitely sucks. That's the first time where I had no control over throwing up, it just happened. Feeling better after though.

I just bought the little package of different sized hooks at walmart. They have most sized you'll need no matter what size yarn. Whatever pattern you find should tell you what size hook and yarn you should need for it. I'm more partial to michaels just because Joann's pissed me off while I was trying to do wedding stuff, everyone was so unhelpful there. But they both have good selection.

 

[morganwhite7]

LOL I just read a million reviews on how terrible their customer service is, too.

But thanks!!

 

[asmcsm]

Lol yea Joann's is one of those places that you have to go in knowing exactly what you want because they suck at helping you lol

 

[RobertRedford]

Joannes is the worst, but i love their coupons. I always get 20% off when I go!
