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

[JCM]

Oh wow and ladders is 30 weeks!!! I'm losing my mind! Lol glad you got the move done and you're getting settled. I find myself buying random stuff for the nursery. I had to but this pink and grey chevron teepee! It was too cute! I think I'm going with a lamb theme. I love them. So cute.

 

[MrsKChicago]

I have no idea where the time went!

 

[curiousowl]

Aw, you look great Mrs.K!

I picked up an owl lamp that I fell in love with since I think I'm decorating with owl accessories/decor.

Also, I have to show you guys the outfit my MIL bought us. Beautiful but um, where the heck is she going to wear this thing?! I guess we have this wedding to go to in July so hopefully it fits her for that. Though DH said if she wears it to that it's going to look like we want her to be the bride. Oh good!

At least put her in it once and take a picture to send to your MIL. If you go to church, you could have her wear it there.

This week has been crazy with lots of doctors visits for Josie. I learned that reflux in babies usually has a peak...Here's hoping all the vomiting she had on Sunday and subsequently this week is her peak!The good news is she is gaining weight better now and they increased her reflux med which seems to be helping. Josie has also started to settle into a schedule and sleeps 10 hrs at night! I am hoping it lasts!

Yeah, we're not church goers so I'm thinking it's this wedding or nothing. Assuming it fits I'll have her wear it there and she can just rock the mini-bride look.

Woo, 10 hours! That's awesome. I hope the reflux gets better. It sounds really frustrating from all the people I've heard talk about their reflux babies.

 

[MrsKChicago]

That's quite an outfit to buy with no events! Super cute, but it's not like you can take her grocery shopping in it! A little photo shoot would be cute, though. One of my friends keeps eying little fancy vest outfits for T, I told her she's gonna have to wait til we have an occasion. She can help me pick his Easter outfit, maybe. Not that we get that fancy for Easter...

I hope Josie's reflux clears up soon!

Looking amazing MrsKChicago!

I like the lamb theme JCM. I still haven't bought anything yet, not sure when I'll finally want to!

And I agree that's a fancy dress curiousowl, but I think a wedding would be a great place to show it off (unless the bride is crazy). It reminds me of a baptism dress (but that's because it's white. I'm not religious so my knowledge on the matter is pretty limited!).


I'm still feeling sick these days. I's different everyday; today was a nauseous day.
I've also told work, but I'm not really a hot topic so news will spread slowly I think.

Oh, I don't think I mentioned that I had my first scan a couple weeks ago! My husband and I thought it was really amazing. I guess I'll find out how it went when I have my next midwife appointment, but everything looked good; saw the heartbeat and the ultrasound tech got the little one to swim around for a bit (so cool!).
It was really nice to see since the only evidence that something's in there is the sickness. There's also been quite a few losses in the June Bug thread, the most recent ones discovered when they went for their ultrasound.

Also, I know it may not be a good thing...but I'm glad I like chocolate again. Guess it just makes me feel more like myself (as I sit here eating this delicious buttercream brownie...mmmm.)

 

[MrsKChicago]

How far along are you now, treeroot? The monthly groups can be so sad for the first few months, so much loss Thankfully things go smoothly for most moms once the first trimester is over.

Hopefully the sickness eases up for you soon and the second trimester goes better. The first scan is really something, isn't it? I wasn't sure I believed there was really anyone in there until mine, either. If you heard a heartbeat, I'm sure everything's going just fine.

 

[treeroot]

I'm 13 wks now. So second trimester I guess?

Lol, my husband couldn't believe how fast the heartbeat was!

I'm still hopeful I'll feel better any day now. And I know I feel better then the worst weeks...but you just get tired of it!


When did everyone start feeling the baby? I think I'm looking forward to that, though I know it'll still be a few weeks from now.

 

[MrsKChicago]

I've only really been feeling him for a few weeks now, but I have an anterior placenta, so that blocks a lot of the movement. I felt some little flutters and such earlier, on and off, but nothing really definite. I can finally feel him every day, but he has lazy days and active days. I think he's doing his weekly workout today. And I can only feel him on my right side - probably that placenta again.

 

[curiousowl]

Oh, I like the idea of a little photo shoot MrsK! That will be the plan as well

Sorry to hear you're still sick, tree. It is rough for sure. I still have icky moments but for the most part I am finally past it but it wasn't until this week really. So hang in there! I'm sure it will get better. I did find it improved for me at 15 weeks too.

Yeah, I think every month thread is that way at first. It's a very sad fact that 25% of pregnancies end in loss, but the good news is that once you hear the hb your odds are great. And as for movement I haven't felt the slightest twinge, so we'll see!

Hey all.

Ladders- glad to hear you move finally went through. Although busy, I'm sure that is nice to have completed. You are getting so close. I'm so excited.

M- hopefully Josie's reflux gets better soon. I can't believe how much she sleeps! Abigail isn't even close. I can still barely get 4 hours at a stretch.

Tree- I hope you feel better soon. It took me to like 15-16 weeks to finally get over the morning sickness. I actually had to get off of the group threads fir my month because I got so freaked out.

Mrsk- you look awesome!

Curious- that is quite the outfit! It's adorable but I have no idea what I would do with it. Although, you could just have her wear it to the grocery store. Just like "yeah, I wear a ball gown to the grocery store."

Any one heard from soon lately? I may have missed a post but if not, I hope she's feeling ok.

We are doing well. Other than the fact Abigail hates to sleep and putting her out is a fight. I'm trying to cherish what little time I have left with just us. I'm both excited and terrified of going back to work.

 

[MgreenM]

Reggie - Josie is certainly the exception to the rule! I think one thing that works for us is that we let her tell us what she needs rather than putting her on a schedule of what we think she needs.

I did learn something today though! It seems that multiple events back to back is too much for Josie. So, from now on, we will only do one event/day or make sure there is a break in between; especially if both events are going to be noisy. Which is fine with me. Usually one event/day is all I can handle as well! We just had 2 things both DH and I really wanted to go to! Actually, there is a third, but I am chose earlier not to go to it as I knew 3 would be way too much!

 

[PDReggie]

Finally got a picture of her smiling!

 

[MrsKChicago]

Cute!!

 

[treeroot]

Indeed! What a cutie!

 

[curiousowl]

Awwwww, she's adorable!

 

[JCM]

So so cute!

 

[curiousowl]

So, today was my anatomy scan. All looked great except my fluid levels are "borderline low" Normal is above 8 and mine is 8.9 I have to go have a level 2 ultrasound tomorrow with the high risk doctor. I'm just really worried and we're flying across country on Thursday morning so things are crazy.

And I now have instructions to up my water intake to 100oz a day. I think I'm going to explode.

 

[MrsKChicago]

Mine was on the low side of normal at my anatomy scan, too. I didn't get the exact figures, but there were no complaints at my 28 week scan. Hope the extra water does the trick for you.
