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

[MrsKChicago]

Sounds like things are getting close! Hopefully she doesn't keep you waiting long.

 

[PDReggie]

JCM I hope this means you are close! Can't wait! Good luck and let us know what happens!

So this is a little late but... congratulations Mrsk!

I've been mia from b&b for a couple months, but all is well.

Looking forward to hearing good news from owl soon.

Sorry to hear of the painful and uncomfortable situation you're in JCM.

 

[MrsKChicago]

Thanks, Tree! How are you doing?

 

[treeroot]

Things seem to be progressing well, no alarms or major concerns.

I have muscle pain in my inner thighs which prevented me from doing the fun active things I would have liked to do - or even just being more active at all since I think I've gained a bit more weight then "recommended".
Other then that I've just been having sleep issues, ranging from restless to insomniac.

We're finally getting baby stuff together. This weekend is go-time for getting the house ready. Midwife is doing the home visit next week, so that's good motivation.

I'm looking forward to finishing work soon. Next week my leave replacement starts so I'll be training him until my last day - the 15th!

Today I went home for the afternoon because I'm not feeling too well, my throat hurts like crazy and my head feels stuffed (apparently I was snoring loudly last night so I'm guessing my sinuses are all congested).


How are you? Transition to life with a newborn going ok?

 

[MrsKChicago]

I hope you're not getting sick!

We're good here. Teddy is a pretty easy baby, thankfully. The biggest obstacle we've had is breastfeeding, and that's been going really well lately. I wouldn't mind a full night's sleep, but I'm doing better than a lot of parents on that front.

 

[curiousowl]

Awww, sorry to hear things have been so rough JCM! I wish I could say the feeling huge thing gets better but not so much! Hoping things calm down for you so you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.

AFM, things are chugging along. I got sick which had included: terrible sore throat, nausea, vomiting, chills, body aches, awful cough, and earaches, all in the last 3 days. Ugh! Feeling a bit better today but was up all night coughing and then being kicked by the LO who hated the coughing.

I'm still working until the end, hopefully, but things have been crazy. Very glad I'm not planning to come back after maternity leave. With all the layoffs going on not sure I'd have a job to come back to.

Also last week I had one of my weekly appointments and the nurse told me my blood pressure was too high (which has been my fear with all the swelling in my feet) and then the dr said it's fine but that my heart rate was too high and wouldn't let me leave until it came down but that was in response to the blood pressure comment. So annoying! Only good thing about being sick and sleeping for most of 3 days has been that my feet look like feet again.

I found out also I am Group B strep +, boo. Not thrilled about that. No sign that anything is moving along here, no contractions or anything. I have an ultrasound on Wed to check size and position so hopefully things look good. I can feel the outline of a foot kicking me on occasion. So weird.

We're mostly ready here. Still need to install the carseat and set up a few things but we just had our last round of houseguests (what was I thinking agreeing to that?!) so it's finally go time.

That was an info dump so sorry! I just can't believe it's getting so close!

 

[MrsKChicago]

Sounds like an awful time, Owl I hope you recover soon.

 

[PDReggie]

Wow owl, good luck! That is a lot to get ready for. Sorry you aren't feeling great.

Tree - glad things are going well. I hope they continue to progress well.

We were supposed to go visit our friends who had their baby 2 weeks ago this weekend but now I'm all stopped up. While I'm 99% sure it's just seasonal allergies, I certainly am not going to go sniffle over a new baby. So it may just be DH who goes. Abigail is going for her 6 month appointment today. Poor thing is going to get so many shots and I HATE having to help hold her still for them.

 

[MrsKChicago]

Ugh, the shots are the worst.

 

[treeroot]

So I guess I wasn't the only one getting sick lately! I hope yours is allergies that clear up PD.

I'm glad things are going well MrsK, I'm sure you'll only continue to be more successful with breastfeeding.

That sucks about the B strep owl, I'm worried about getting a positive too. I know it's not the end of the world, but it's one more thing right?


I've been sleeping well this week, but had to get up out of bed tonight. Oh well, at least it's Friday tomorrow.

 

[MgreenM]

wow! lots going on! I have been so busy I barely have time to check my email! For those not feeling well - feel better! Allergies have been rough lately! Sleep is something we will always need more of! Josie has always been a good sleeper but with teething, the last few weeks have been up and down a lot. She did great last night! She doesn't seem too interested in crawling at the moment. She just wants to stand! She is rocking her solids and LOVES to pet the dog! We are already working on gentle hands!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

 

[treeroot]

You too Mgreen! It's crazy how fast Josie is growing

I had to come home early from work today, I guess my sickness earlier in the week was just a precursor to a cold . Now I'm hugging a box of tissues on the couch. And we have so much to do this weekend! This cold is very ill timed, I really need to get this house in order.

It is one more thing but I've made my peace with it! And you would too You do what you gotta do so try not to worry about it.

BTW- Yay, it's MAY!!!

 

[MrsKChicago]

Feel better soon, Tree. Sick and pregnant is the worst.

Yay May! I can't wait for more babies!

 

[treeroot]

May indeed! It's finally decent weather!
We actually got a light dusting of snow two weeks ago - not impressed.
Husband was just saying how he thinks this is great weather for having babies - he knows I'll feel much better if I'm able to easily spend time outside.
Oh wow, it just hit me how different this summer is going be!

 

[JCM]

MrsK, guess what I have now...lightening crotch. I remember you talking about it. Ow!!!!

 

[MrsKChicago]

Oh no! You're almost there, it won't last forever!

 

[JCM]

How long did you have it before he came?

 

[MrsKChicago]

I had it on and off almost the whole pregnancy. He rode really low.
