Waiting and waiting...2016 mommies-to-be!

[fernie3]

Hello!
I am waiting for 2016 to ttc number 6.

I have a mirena at the moment which will be coming out in 2016 and then we will see what happens!

We are mainly waiting for work (we run or own company and have plans for the next year or so at work which I cant leave) and also I would like my youngest to start school/ nursery.

I am aiming to lose about 2.5 stone though which is giving me something to focus on (keep imagining nice tidy bump rather than the floppy mess that happened last time )

On Sunday this little girl I saw at a restaurant was really cute. She smiled at me and I waved to her a few times.

Last night I had a dream where I bought a crib and had it set up in the spare bedroom. I was trying to think how to explain it to my mom it was a weird dream.

Oh my, the baby bug has bitten me hard again this evening!

I'm dealing with it by watching The Midwives, and making the most of being able to have a glass of wine =P

In other news, Operation: Yummy Mummy is go! I got my letter from the surgeon giving me clearance to go see a physiologist and hit the gym again post-op - hooray! I'm back on meal plan as of last week - now to shift those kilos in preparation for kilos of baby!

Hope the wait is going well for everyone! I have a crazy case of baby fever this week and it doesn't help that I'm seeing new pregnancy announcements almost every week!

Just out of curiosity, have any of you thought of names yet? DH and I started discussing names about two years ago and finally picked out our boy name almost a year ago which we doubt will change (Sebastian). If we have a girl we will most likely name her Nina. It took us longer to settle on a girl name.

Anyone else have names picked out?

If we have a boy we are gonna name him Ezekiel and if it is a girl Alice.

 

[johnson1212]

Great names! I've always liked Ezekiel.

 

[johnson1212]

Just realized that smiley looked kind of evil. Lol I really do like the name!

Just saw that Pampers commercial where the baby cries at 3am and the mom comes in to change her diaper. I hope I'll do that one day.

If we have a girl next she will be Claire Therese. If we have another boy though we are a little stuck! I really like William (and I don't live in the UK so I doubt anyone would connect it with my DS who is Charles) but no clue on a middle name. I would like to find a masculine form of Lynn (my moms middle name) but so far haven't had any luck. I think we are just hoping for a girl so the decision is done . It is really hard to come up with names. We didn't settle on our sons middle name until he was here (first name was picked out 11 years ago lol)

Middle names for a boy will be Ariya William, and for a girl will be Priya Kathryn - we name after grandparents. First names remain to be seen. I like Grace, Rani, Jayantha and Alexander, though.

So today my baby lust was a bit high today than the past few days. When I was on my walk I saw this couple with their baby and kind of wishing it were me. Hopefully it will be one day.

Ladies I'm sorry to rant for a second time this week, but I need to get this off my chest. My GP is driving me crazy. And just for the record, possible TMI alert for the faint of heart.

I see a family friend (on my husbands side) for my medical needs. She has pretty good language skills but there are times where she misinterprets what I'm saying, or treats me like a child, and today was definitely one of those times.

I went in for a number of things I needed, one of them being advice as to what to do about the fact that on Levlen my periods have stopped. I've been on the BCP since I was 15 (14 years), used at least 4 different ones and this is a first. I've POAS three times, all negative. I was certain I was not pregnant. She assures me this is the most likely scenario. My husband was in the room at the time so you can imagine how that went down. So now she's ordered a BHCG test, which she suggested I get from my mother in law as she is a pathology nurse (needless to say, no that will not be happening).No talk of whether We were BDing then (we weren't as I had back surgery around then) or whether I had any symptoms of pregnancy other than the missed periods, which I don't, just 'you're probably pregnant BECAUSE TWO OR THREE MONTHS IN IS TOO EARLY FOR A PREGNANCY TEST TO SHOW A POSITIVE RESULT'.

Are you kidding me???? Has ANYONE else heard this before???

I am so glad to have this as a place to rant. Thank you for reading, and I promise next time I post it will be sunshine and rainbows.

 

[kksy9b]

no, this is definitely not right. quite the opposite actually. By that time your HCG levels are too high for a test and will show up negative (hook effect). I would think about looking for a different doctor ...doesn't sound like she actually listens to you

She said that about the test not being positive until two or three months into the pregnancy? That's new....

So today on my walk I smiled and waved to a baby I saw at the river. He was sooooo cute I think he smiled at me twice.

My latest time killer - https://babyli.st - if you haven't been there check it out! A really cool baby registry with a twist. I've been spending an awful lot of time looking at other people's lists... And putting one together for our future sprog as well... I figure things will change between now and then but who cares, it's fun to fiddle with!

Hey ladies, sorry I haven't been active for a while! We just moved into our new house two weeks ago and we don't have internet yet. I'm on my phone right now but don't like to use the data because we only get 2GB a month to share between the two of us. Anyway, we're mostly settled in now and DF loves his new job. Things are going great and I believe that we're getting on the right track to TTC. However, it is most likely that we will be waiting until 2016 after all. I thought long and hard about it and realized that I don't actually want another baby right now, my stupid hormones are just putting pregnancy lust into my brain. DS is still too dependent and still feels very much like a baby to me and I don't want to take the chance of having two in diapers at the same time, it would be nice to have a short break from baby stages. I've also heard most people say that they were happiest with a 3 year age gap and it's what feels right to me. I also believe that I won't feel ready to stop having children at 26, but that I might at 28. Even if we had a 4th I'd still be only about 31 when we had our last child if we had a 3 year age gap between all of our children.*It would also be nice to have DS in preschool when we have our second. I'll change my ticker after we get internet set up, I also need to change my breastfeeding milestone badge. I'm really excited for DS's birthday next month, too. I can't believe that it's almost here already!

Today when I was volunteering at the blood clinic this two year old boy who was there with his parents kept smiling at me every once in a while.

 

[WhiteKhocol8]

Kiki, I was thinking it was a while since I'd seen your name pop up on the boards! Grats on the move and settle - sounds like a busy and very positive time for you and your family. Your thought processes sound really solid too. Good on you for making a decision you feel good about!

And good to see you back =)

 

[tverb84]

Today I saw this couple watching their baby and I felt a bit jealous. Sometimes I want to have a baby but at the same time I know I'm not ready to have a baby.
