when the "30 yo ttc#1" ladies get their bfp's

Forums New posts
Wow I have missed alot on this thread. I finally had my baby shower this weekend so I was focused on that and celebrating...

Congratulations M, your baby is absolutely gorgeous. Did you say how many pounds she was when she was born? I've heard that first week is the hardest, as you learn about each other and the new mom and dad gets used to stuff. I'm glad to hear your labor and delivery went pretty well, that's all we can pray for. Congrats again!!! how long are you planning to stay home on maternity leave?
 
She was 6lbs 12oz at birth. I will be home on maternity leave until the 1st of the year. We are figuring things out. My parents have been really helpful.
 
Congrats M!!! She's so beautiful. I'm so happy for you guys. Sorry to be late to the party- busy weekend.
 
So had weekly Dr. Appt today. She asked if I wanted to be checked but said it wasn't necessary if I didn't want to since I don't have any indication that anything is going on. So I declined. I figure in the coming weeks there will be enough people messing around down there no need to invite more. Everything is still good. Blood pressure is still good and my Strep B thingy was negative. So not a lot to report. Just in waiting mode. Now I'm just tired. So tired all the time. I had my hopefully, last jury trial yesterday and that is going to take all week to recover from. And let me tell you, little girl does NOT like jury trials or tights. Of course I don't really like tights either. The jury members all seemed release a collective breath of relief every time I sat down after questioning a witness. :blush:
 
PD - good choice on waiting to get checked! I wasn't given an option at my 38 week appointment.

Ladies- make sure you don't do like I did and do a lot in the first week because you feel good. I may have over done it and now have a cold. I went ahead and saw the doctor this morning because I was feeling worse. They told me I could take Claritin and Robitussin (plain) and to sleep and drink a lot; and handle the baby as little as possible until I am feeling better. It also may just be that after 9 months of "I can't get sick, I can't take off of work." My body just gave up.
 
M, I get the feeling this was the last time I was going to be "offered" the check. I hope you feel better!!!! I do the same thing though. I fight getting sick until I can rest and then get really sick. I'm hoping that doesn't happen. I had to get the flu shot and the TDAP shot today. Holy crap the flu shot hurt. I did not like that one. But really? We had to do it in different arms so they both hurt? Boo.
 
Haha "no need to invite more"
I had my monthly wax done yesterday and this progesterone likes to come right outta me at the worst times!!! I was so embarrassed and then I realized after spreading my legs every other day throughout this whole infertility battle, it was nice to see I'm still modest around some people! Haha!
Oh M, I hope you feel better soon. That's gotta be rough. Trying not to handle your brand new baby so much! Hopefully you have some help so you can get some good rest.
Hi to everyone else!
Nothing new here. I just have these mild cramps that come and go constantly and last night some backnpain started to kick in. Not really AF bad but pressure. I got myself one of those body pillows. Those things are fantastic! So comfy!
 
Aw, M, sorry to hear that. Feel better!

You're so close PD! Just try to take it easy. That's too funny about the trial.

JCM, my cramps are just finally starting to fade. I was glad people warned me about them. You need a ticker! I feel your pain, progesterone is the worst.
 
I know! How do I do that? Do I make one on another site and copy and paste the link? Like a picture?
 
I'm sorry you're sick, M. Take care of yourself as best you can. I hope you can kick it soon.

Reggie, I bet I would have been paying more attention to you than the trial if I was on that jury! And does anybody really like tights? Evil contraptions... I hope the next few weeks aren't too hard on you.

Haha, JCM, I feel mean laughing, but how can I not? Poor thing... Like I told Owl, those cramps are a really good sign! Terrifying, but very good! Baby (babies?) is making room! You're exactly right on the ticker. Head over to Lilypie or The Bump or whoever you like, and when you're done it'll give you a few different code choices to use. You want the BB Code - it'll look something like this:

JCM I think you just copy the link and post it in your signature. But you have to pick the right one. I can't remember which one though. I'm glad to hear things are going well. So happy for you that the IVF worked the first time. I hear you on the waxing. I got a Brazilian about a month ago because I couldn't see to shave or trim and freaked out. And even though I know that I have to get used to people being down there, it still freaked me out.

I am trying to do my best to relax and start cutting back at work. I passed off one of my trials next week and am hoping that the other doesn't go forward. I still feel fine physically, it's just getting incredibly hard to move around. I never realized just how heavy the baby can get. That sounds strange I know, but I have been feeling so good throughout the pregnancy besides the first few months that these last 2 weeks or so and especially this week have kind of taken me by surprise. I just get exhausted trying to do anything. And am uncomfortable all the time. I mean I know its only a few more weeks at the most but I just wasn't expecting it. Sorry, trying not to whine. I guess this is one of those things that you hear about but until it happens you just don't understand. Or, it's not, and I'm just incredibly lazy. :winkwink:
 
Whine all you want. It's good to let it out, and it's good warning for us!
 
The last few weeks are definitely really hard. I felt like I was being super lazy as well... Thank you everyone for the well wishes.
 
I figured it out! Look at me with a ticker!
 
Put me down for June 10th.

2nd stage of this journey begins....
 
Congrats Tree!! So excited for you.

So the person who would have been my last jury trial pled yesterday. Thank goodness. I was not looking forward to another one. Only two more weeks of work max. I talked to the Dr. and since I drive an hour to and from work she doesn't want me working past my due date. So I told the bosses yesterday that even if I don't go into labor, the 17th is my last day. I am both excited and terrified.
 
Congratulations Tree.

PD, glad things are working out for you at work. She's almost here :). Enjoy the last weeks, sleep as much as you can, do want you wanna do.

I'm starting to think about having those work conversations. I want to work up until I give birth. My commute is only about 15 mins and I sit at a desk all day. Plus I'm able to work from home so I need to talk to my boss about possibly doing so starting around a week before my due date. Who knows how I'll feel as I get closer though.
 
Glad you're getting everything settled, PD! I wouldn't want to commute an hour so close to my due date.
