Glad you're feeling better Nazz!

I did the wedding planning thing...all I can say is buy stuff when it's on sale, buy early and shop around. Don't let the wedding vendors play the emotional card when it comes to pricing. Try to get quotes for a 'party' instead of a wedding...you'll find the prices are sometimes a quarter of the price. They hear the word wedding and the price triples/quadruples. Ebay was my best friend as well as Michael's crafts when they had their 50% off coupons. I went with fake flowers because it was a 10th of the cost of fresh, and my girls all have a beautiful keepsake. Do as much as you can yourself and ask for help when you need it! The two things I found you can splurge on are your photographer and your DJ. Look at a lot of photographers portfolios before making a decision. A lot of them will give you a DVD with the photos on it so don't get roped into buying their printed package. You can get just as good printing at say Costco for a fraction of the price. The DJ will be the entertainment for your guests so get a good one and don't even look at people that won't let you come listen to a show. A bad DJ will stick out like a sore thumb! And don't let them play Martina McBride - Independence Day!! My DJ had a brain fart and played it...it's about domestic violence and suicide, SO not a wedding song! If you need and suggestions let me know!

Just wanted to agree with you Rose, I loved my DJ, but he played....."Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood......I walked over and said...."Ed, SERIOUSLY?!" And he immediately changed it....LMAO

 

[Angel wings13]

Lol, you know what's funny? We have been talking forever about what should be "our song" for the wedding, like the one WR dance to, and a lot if the ones I really like are horrible "wedding songs"
Like "wicked game"
Love that song, but they lyrics aren't really meant for newlyweds lol....

Finally, after like hours of going through songs I found one, played it for him,, and he actually agreed! Yes! So that's one problem solved!

Sorry for the breaking dawn cover there, I linked the song from you tube and it is on the sounds track, not why I picked it though

 

[FTMommy01]

Angel my best friend got married last September and they danced to this song, it was beautiful!

This was our wedding song, we both had never heard it before and didn't know it was linked to twilight at all but we loved it and figured since no one at our wedding was a Twi-Hard fan no one would know anyway We used a version by The PianoGuys to walk down the aisle and the Christina Perri version for our first dance

Our wedding song was Brian Melo - All I Ever Wanted

 

[Angel wings13]

Wow that's so weird that you used it too Pdubs! and ft knew someone that did! Small world!

 

[Wugz22]

Ok, crazy person strikes again.

For the last 3 weeks I've been at around 2.5-3 pound weight gain. I did nothing different , and today when I weighed myself I was only at a 1 pound weight gain?? This doesn't mean anything, right?

Today I definitely don't feel as bloated as I have since I've been preg. Is it normal to lose bloat at 10 weeks?

Help a crazy girl out with some reassuring words!

 

[FTMommy01]

Aw wugz Im sure its fine, you will fluctuate throughout the whole pregnancy.

Today is my scan day I am so excited, I hope I get to see little bean and at least see if not hear a healthy heartbeat. Its not until later this afternoon so I will update you guys as soon as I can!

 

[Wugz22]

So jealous FT! I must be only only personin the world who's doctor won't do a scan until 18 weeks. It's crazy!

Hi! At the risk of sounding like a stalker, I have followed this thread for months and finally decided to officially join the board. Congrats to all of you with your recent and not-so-recent BFPs!!!
I stopped BC at the end of September and have been TTC ever since. My cycles have been a little wacky, the shortest being 36 and the longest 64 (!!!). Currently on CD27. I am getting blood work done on Saturday (CD30) to confirm ovulation but in the mean time, I was hoping you girls could help! You all seem like such experts!!

I've been using OPKs for months but this is the first time tracking my temp. Does it look like I ovulated? I would have guessed CD24 as ovulation, even though that is the same day I finally got a postive OPK. What do you think?

Totally normal to fluctuate in the first trimester.
I went up 6 lbs by 6 or 7 weeks, by 9 weeks I dropped 7 lbs, making me a lb less than pre pregnancy

Early weight gain is usually bloat, water retention, etc.

The loss is from eating better, or possibly a little less, and I used to drink a glass of red wine with dinner most nights - on the weekend 2 glasses. Cutting that out drops like over 2000 calories a week.

Plus, every pregnancy I've had, my weight shifts. With my youngest, I had during the year before he was conceived, gained like 30 lbs! I'm normally petite and thin, but being on the short side the extra 30 lbs on me was a lot.
Then I got pregnant and by the time I was 9 months, I was only like 7 lbs more than before - because as my belly and boobs grew, the extra weight around my hips, thighs, butt all disappeared! This pregnancy had Bern similar. I was feeling so bloated and gross, yet around 7 weeks many people (that didn't know I was pregnant) kept telling me I was dropping weight (even though I wasn't)
It's totally fine and completely normal!

With my oldest I lost 10 or 12 lbs in SECOND tri, from my severe MS, and was very concerned, my doc said the baby was great, and your body will divert all nutrients to the baby first.

That's why your teeth can hurt, the baby takes the calcium - literally right out of your bones and teeth if need be.

Glad you decided to join!
Hmm..from the looks, I'd say most likely CD 24, but usually the temps would be higher, you dipped down so briefly, so I would suggest to keep every other day, maybe even use the opk's still. It almost appears add if you geared up then didn't release - frustrating I know, look at my chart!

However, some women don't have temps that go up much higher than normal, or have higher pre o temps.

without seeing more charts, hard to say.

But welcome, good luck, and this does take effort and a temporary loss of sanity, hence the name the Nut Hut™

Lol

 

[Pink912]

Thank you so much!! I will keep BD'ing and hope for the best!

 

[Wugz22]

Thank you Angel Wings, that is exactly what I needed to hear! I have been a little more conscience about eating better and started working out more a couple weeks ago, but for it to happen over night was a little shocking.

Guess who's giving herself the green light to eat ice cream tonight!? (This guy)

Welcome Pink! We're happy to have you!

 

[AnakeRose]

Hi Pink! Welcome to the madness

I'm sure after reading our chatter you know you can ask pretty much anything. I'm sure we've covered it at some point! No I mean it

 

[AnakeRose]

ugh I am so freeking uncomfortable today. I have a bit of constipation and I think he's sitting funny up around my right ribs. My ribs on my right side are KILLING me. I almost want to go home from work, but I'll see if I can stick it out for a few more hours, hopefully it gets better.

On the bright side after today I have 5 days off so I'm going to get the baby's room and the second bathroom painted.
