Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? pics on FB if we are friends of us pumpkin picking, we decided for our anniversary to spend the day as a family outside and then grabbed dinner, it was nice! Can't believe we are at 2 years ladies!
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 33
How are you feeling? I'm so tired. I can't sleep through the night at all. Knowing that once the baby is here I'll be up constantly, I really wish I could get sleep now. Pregnancy insomnia is a cruel trick of mother nature. Also sciatica is becoming a daily thing. It's scared me a few times because my legs have gone out on me on stairs.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I wore a maternity dress that makes me look huge. I hate when I wear it because everyone finds it necessary to tell me how big I am. It's really putting me in a bad mood, well that and I've been awake since 2 in the morning after going to bed at 1030. Sorry I sound so whiny, I'm just ready to be done with pregnancy and ready to be onto having a little one. Also I really want to punch a CW in the throat today. She's just always trying to create drama in the office and I can't stand that.
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 11w1d! Almost to 2nd tri!!!
How are you feeling? Pretty good. I've been listening to the HB every day and that has definitely calmed my nerves.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Next appointment is tomorrow morning so I hope everything checks out ok. I bought my first maternity shirt today
TTCers:
Cycle/Month: a long time/ 1AL
CD/DPO: 27/5
W2O or 2WW? 2ww
Testing plans: I would like to hold out until I'm through my LP, but I'm torn. Our anniversary could be a good excuse to test early. I really hate seeing negatives, but now with a loss, I'm wondering if I should test early so I would know if I have a CP.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: just waiting for my 7 dpo BW later this week and feeling anxious to finally be back in the saddle and in the 2ww again. I'm trying not to let myself get excited.
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 4 weeks
How do you feel? Sad, my baby is too long for newborn sleepers. We have her 1 month appt Thursday. I just had her!
Any Milestones this week?
She slept 6 hours Saturday night. After a rough Friday afternoon and night, I sure needed it!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?
I may have gotten overwhelmed and cried when H got home from work Saturday. He worked 6 days, 30+ hours, home to sleep for 10, repeat. I felt bad making him do anything when he was home. And my parents couldn't come over because their truck was in the shop and my sister has their other one. It was just too much especially when she was refusing to sleep anywhere but on me, and MOTN feeding were lasting 3 hours (30 mins each side plus a pooping session in between)... Growth spurt?
I posted a picture saying "She's lucky she's so cute" on fb. Right as I went to lay down while H had her... I read my friend posting how I need to cherish this time with my baby. So I couldn't sleep due to mommy guilt. Thanks friend.
First picture is how I find her most mornings, feet in the body of the sleeper. Freaked me out the first time when her pj legs were empty.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 5 months!
How do you feel? Great, he if finally coming out of the sleep regression and has only been up once a night for the past few days! Let's hope it sticks!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? He is getting to be so much fun! Sorry the pics are all sideways.
Cycle/Month: 8
CD/DPO: CD 24
W2O or 2WW? I think 2WW
Testing plans: I bought a HPT today and will use it at the end of next week if AF still hasn't shown up. I want to test then, before our anniversary because I ordered D a special shirt that I'm hoping can be part of his anniversary gift. Since cotton is the traditional second anniversary gift (right?!?) I got him a shirt that says "Be nice to me, my wife is pregnant". I'd love to be able to give it to him for our anniversary, but if I'm not pregnant this cycle I will just keep it for later.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: not this time. Thanks to all of you who said kind words to me in last Friday's confession:) It was greatly appreciated
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 2 weeks
How do you feel? Tired. Wren is getting spoiled by everyone always holding her and now I can't put her down without her fussing & getting herself worked up. Also, she isn't taking very long naps for me during the day. I'm hoping that this doesn't last long.
Any Milestones this week? Her umbilical cord fell off yesterday morning, so she'll be getting her first "big girl bath" tonight
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I just can't get enough of her sweet little face!
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 4 months!!
How do you feel? I'm so over school.
Any Milestones this week? Rolling back to tummy with consistency and purpose!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Also the stick was negative!! Thank goodness.
@catwine I hope you can give your H that shirt.
@magpie87 O still takes little cheap naps. She sleeps well at night, usually. She's pretty beastly at the end of the day because she's so tired. There are some days she only sleeps about an hour and a half all day.
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 9 weeks
How do you feel? Tired. I has decided she wants to eat every 3 hours again at night.
Any Milestones this week? She's grabbing, smiling, laughing. She sticks her tongue out a lot. She coos all day. She doesn't really cry anymore bath time. She's recognizing more faces and seeing at further distances.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? My doctor wrote me for another 4 weeks off. I am so happy! I definitely have to go back at the end of this extension. I need to start mentally preparing myself now. At least I'll only work for a week and a half and then I'll have 5 days off for Thanksgiving
How many weeks? 28
How do you feel? Ok. I have an appt tomorrow. He is being very active and decided to switch from kicking my stomach back to my bladder today, so that hasn't been much fun.
Rants/Thoughts? I've been freaking out about getting everything we need, especially the crib after I was told it could take a couple of months. My shower is scheduled for thanksgiving weekend which puts it approx 30 days before my due date. And everyone says people will get us stuff but I know our families don't have much money and definitely can't afford a crib so it will be left for us with less than 30 days till my due date in the peak of holiday shopping season... so I ordered it this weekend and it's shipped today and is expected by the end of the week. I know I should have waited but I really started to freak out about having it in time. On the plus side the color we want is being discontinued (we wanted expresso, the store is now only selling it in cherry) and I got it cheaper online from another site that still has the color in stock (said low stock) and they were able to ship it faster (the store said a min of 10 days to have cherry shipped to store).
I got to sit with my 7 year old niece last night and do homework with her. She has to read 2 books, out loud, to an adult every night and have the adult sign off on it. It was really fun, it made me even more impatient for this baby to be born though. I can't wait to watch this little guy learn things!
Some people pay for elective ultrasounds. My sister did one at 16 weeks to find out. It cost $100 to do it. The place she did it at guaranteed the sex, so if she ends up having a girl she can get her money back.
