[tryforbaby2]

Hey girls! :wave: Still things are a bit hectic around here! Father in law is here until Friday, then we go to their house friday until sunday night, then on wednesday of next week I'll have company straight for nearly a week for Thanksgiving! I am also due to O that week, but HEY! go figure right! Always when company is around.......so annoying!

I hope everyone is doing well!!

 

[Ejay]

Honey - you definitely have to stick around, we will miss you xx

All - thought you might like to see the new addition to our family, OH wants to call her Megan, she is the one I have my hands around. She will be comming to join us on the 18th of December.

Very excited

 

[honeybee28]

thanks ejay, your puppy is sooooooo cute!!! awwwwwww.

julia, sucks that you always have company when you o!! I want to have thanksgiving dinner at your house, your cooking sounds amazing.

hope you're having a fab day.xxx

 

[SquirrelGirl]

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW PUPPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Puppies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Titi]

puppies rock! Marlow used to sleep in a crate during the night when she was a baby but since Baxter died we let her in the bed with us. She doesn't sleep at the foot of the bed or anything but instead curls up against my neck/chest or spoons every night. (she's little). It's so endearing and snuggly-I love it. She acts like a little baby and not a dog at all....loves to be carried like a baby and even cries like one...I think I'm lucky at least I got her after ltttc b/c it gives me something to love in the meantime!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Titi - I want to meet Marlow SO badly. She is just to adorable. I'm glad she sleeps in the bed with you. Bullet is very snuggly too. The only time that sucks is when he is gassy - which is pretty often!

Ejay! Is that a springer spaniel? They are SO cute!!! I lurve them. My brother has a springer and they are best friends.

TryFor ~ What company are you having over the holiday? I still think BD while the in-laws are around is lucky : )

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Honey - have you had any cramps? I am starting to get some and looking for some reason as to why it might not be AF. Even though I KNOW that is the most reasonable answer

 

[Titi]

aww Jaimie I hope that the cramping is NOT AF cramps! FX'd that would be so exciting for you to have holiday bfp! And I just know that someday, you will get to snuggle Marlow and nom her belly like I do! She would love you! We took her to dinner and Target the other night.......I'm going to become the crazy lady that makes her my baby.

 

[Ejay]

Jaimie - I realy hope it's not the dreaded red kootch monster xx

She is a Brittany puppy OH wants to call her Megan, I think thats quite a cute name.

My Sister got quite upset, she split up with her husband a few years ago and us TTC and now getting a puppy has realy made her realise what she may not have herself. I just wish I could take some of that pain away.

Well work is a little easier at the moment although the weekends are a bit manic for a while, but due to go see little Megan again on the 5th of December and then pick her up on the 18th. We are really lucky cause OH is allowed to take a dog to work with him, although I am not sure how much he will get done with a puppy around.

Hope everyone is good xx

 

[tryforbaby2]

Well Jaimie, I dont know if this helps since I had Mc'd but I had horrible cramps at the time AF was due and a few days after af was due. I checked my ttc diary to make sure, and sure enough I noted that they were hard strond cramps, for sure thought af was on her way then........

Ejay, congrats on the poochie! And I am so sorry for your sister.

 

[honeybee28]

yeah i had cramps last week too, ive got them back today in fact. hoping everything is ok. hope that kootch monster stays well away jaimie.

ejay im really sorry about your sis, hope she feels better soon.

hi Julia, titi, squirrely, soph, waiting, everyone else.xxx

 

[Titi]

Hi Sweetie!!!!!!! What are the cramps like, AF or slightly different?

 

[LuckyD]

Hey all my lovelies!

Just wanted to say hello and to say that I had cramps too - totally thought AF (sorry, red kootch monster) was on the way. Cramps were very like AF - I had them a few days before AF was due, and then on and off after that as well. Not really bad but definitely noticeable.

Wanting to send allllll my love to you ladies.....big kisses from me xx I think of you all every day and still stalk you and miss you and send you good vibes all the time xxxx

 

[tryforbaby2]

Thanks Lucky D! I still stalk you all too! Wish I was there with you guys! I wouldve been 30-31 weeks! I see you are not finding out the gender.....good for you......a beautiful surprise!!!

I can't believe how far along you guys all are already!!! Holy Smokes!

Hi honeybee! Miss you girlfriend!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

It really is nuts how far along you are Lucky - everyone should check out your lumpy bump pic in your journal : ) (she and her hubs call her bump lump - I wasn't saying that to be a jerk : )

TryFor and all the other ladies that have been there with the cramps - thanks so much for that. I'm due for a reboot either today or tomorrow. We'll see what happens, as usual. Definitely trying not to get my hopes up but these last few days are the worst. I meant to ask you whether or not you had cramps too TryFor, thanks for letting me know.

Ejay - that is a bummer that your sister is having regrets. Marriage is really tough - you gotta stick with it even when you don't feel like sticking around. After seeing my Mom go through three divorces I didn't want to get hitched until I found a partner that I knew would fight through the tough stuff with me.

 

[Ejay]

Jaimie -Think you hit the nail on the head. Before I met my OH I was engaged to a guy but something stopped us actually tying the knot (probably the fact he was a very jelous man and smashed up the house on occasion accusing me of having affairs) My OH now is really commited and I really feel like we can work through whatever life thows us.

I think my sister was right for splitting up with her husband, but I know a family was something she really wanted. Since then her ex has got together with another girl and they have had a baby and I think that just rubs salt in the wounds.

Hiya Lucky, glad you pop in to catch up with us all, can't wait for you to have your little sproglett, really excited

Honey - wow thanks for all the info, I always thought I would know before I got my BFP, probably because the PMT grumpyness wouldn't set in. FX that all goes well and happy 9 months.

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Hey Ejay - I'm glad you feel like your sister made the right decision. Sometimes divorce is absolutely necessary. I don't think fighting for a marriage that makes you miserable is a good idea. I hope she finds the right guy soon. It must be tough to see her ex starting a family.

I have to wait till our annual gem and mineral show in February before I can go hunting for an African fertility idol. There is a large part of the show that offers African crafts and what not. I'm determined to find one, rub it, and pass it along to all of you : )

 

[Lucie73821]

Thought I'd check in with everyone. Life has been pretty hectic here lately. Got a notice from the insurance company. Apparently the surgery center where dh had his surgery is out of network, and now the insurance company says we owe 5200 bucks! I have been playing phone tag with the woman from the office since Monday. If we would have known it was going to cost us this amount of money, we would have skipped the surgery and put the money towards IVF.

I hope everyone is doing well.

 

[SquirrelGirl]

OMG, Lucie!! That sucks so bad!!!!!!! That's so dumb! I hate the whole out of network crap. I get why they do it, but that stuff needs to be declared up front!

MEH!

Jaimie......oh, I can't wait for my turn with the fertility idol! And I really hope you don't get the red screen of death this month and your OOS doesn't need rebooting! Just say NO to the red kootch monster!
