Re: TTC
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 9 weeks, officially a fetus!
How are you feeling? Today great, but I forgot my snacks so hopefully I'll be ok. Pregnancy brain..
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? We are telling extended family this week. DH's grandpa has been really sick, and if I'm being honest it doesn't look good. We figured the family could use some good news.
I'm starting to have rollercoaster days of feeling awesome or feeling like a bag of crushed a-holes. I'm holding on to a delusion that I'm going to wake up in three weeks (2nd tri) and a magical pregnancy unicorn is going to come pick me up and take me to a land of lollipops and sunshine. No more headaches or feeling like doody!
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 9 months 3 weeksish....
How do you feel? good, almost to pre-pregnancy weight, i have 3lbs to go which i want to hit by may 8th which is my annual physical, i hate the scale, i dread it at the doctor's. My body will never be the same, even though im only 3 lbs away, my hips/thighs will never be what they were, the smallest jeans i have in my closet don't pull up, but thats ok, im getting used to the new me, and when we have another child, my body will just change again!
Any Milestones this week? she is now a full on crawler! the other day she tried to get in the fridge, something about that thing just attracts her to it, i have to make sure to get in and out, i open it and she will stop what she is doing and make a dash for the damn thing! I also think we need to lower the crib, i was watching her on the monitor and it looked like she was going to pull herself up and over!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? nada
CD/DPO: I'm pretty sure I've been calculating my ovulation dates wrong, so I'm not sure how many DPO it's been.
W2O or 2WW? 2WW
Testing plans: testing on May 7
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I have a few pregnant friends and I can't help feeling a little jealous of them. I was hoping someone would be pregnant around the same time as me but it's not looking that way anymore and I admit I'm a little disapointed. My pregnant friends are all due this summer .
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 11 weeks tomorrow.
How do you feel? Good. We are definitely in a rhythm with Caleb. I'm trying to really learn his routine so I can get my sister to replicate it when I go back to work next week. He usually sleeps most of the morning and is awake most of the afternoon. He is still sleeping great at night. He pretty consistently sleeps from me from 12am-7am, sometimes even longer.
Any Milestones this week? We traveled this weekend and he slept in the pack & play for the first time. Apparently he wasn't phased by sleeping in a different bed and a different place. Saturday night I had a wedding and left him for 5 hours with my sister at the hotel. He was a little fussy and didn't want to be put down, but he took the bottle great for her (we've been doing bottles since he came home from the hospital) and I nursed him when we got home and he slept from about 11:15pm-8:15am. And he woke up really happy.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Going back to work on Monday night :-(. Wish my DH good luck!
Warning, again, this is all speculation too and the only way to know is by charting. I really liked charting temps but understand you don't want to. In the least, you could try using OPKs to give you a closer idea of when you are fertile and gearing up to o. That is all I did this cycle.
Good luck and let us know if you have any questions! I felt so empowered understanding what the hell was going on with my body when I learned all about this! I really like talking about it.
How many weeks: 20 weeks
How are you feeling? Great!
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I'm just so happy baby girl is healthy and looking great so far! Come on Sept!
Cycle/Month: 9/9 actively trying (10 including ntnp)
CD/DPO: 24/6
W2O or 2WW? 2ww
Testing plans: none. I fully expect another bust cycle so I'm hoping not to fret about testing leading up to AF.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: nothing. I'm glad that I'm not temping this month because it is nice to not really focus on TTC other than Tuesdays because frankly, I don't have the time with all of the house buying/selling stress!!
I saw a lot of IF posts on FB last week and one blog really helped me since it related to how hard some of the "milestones" before the year mark are hard. I felt so nutty for getting upset before we are even to a year. It felt really selfish. Technically within the charting community they consider IF after 6 months of charting, which I've done, but that doesn't really matter to me because I want to give ourselves the full year. It's just nice to be able to hear other's experience.
CD/DPO: CD 30/ 7 DPO???
W2O or 2WW? maybe 2WW
Testing plans: none.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I dunno. I don't really believe my chart. My sleeping has been a little wonky so I dunno. I've never O'd without meds before and didn't have ANY indication of O at all this cycle. When I have O'd with meds in the past, I always get more fertile CM and a very increased sex drive. I had none of it. I also don't have the super sore boobs and nipples that I usually do post-O.
How many weeks: 19 weeks tomorrow!
How are you feeling? I feel great! Still want to fall into bed most nights by 10:00, but I'm getting some energy back
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? We go for our anatomy scan ultrasound next Thursday. I'm so excited and nervous that baby won't cooperate since we're having a gender reveal party a few days later!
I don't have a pic from this week, but here's last week's pic
I'm always on mobile so I will try to get on a computer later tonight to check it out. Well I hope it was enough!!
How many weeks:
34w3d
How are you feeling? could be worse. I'm done school for the year and back to work full time. I sleep a little bit more. Hip/pelvic pain is still pretty bad but that's expected with a bowling ball between my legs!
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Taken yesterday, and clearly getting larger by the second.
How many weeks: 37 weeks, 5 days
How are you feeling? Exhausted
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? H has been sleeping on the couch lately, because that is where he falls asleep and doesn't wake up again until the morning. It has been glorious, I get the whole bed to myself and my pillows. Well, last night he decided was a good time to come back to bed. I was miserable. Luckily, this baby has to come soon and I can't be annoyed about being pregnant for much longer. "
no idea yet on due date and all since i found out this morning and i still need to tell hubby. :-)
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 38 weeks, 5 days
How are you feeling? Ugh, like a whale. I feel actually pretty good most of the time.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I don't think this little guy is going anywhere anytime in the near future. I'd be OK if he stayed in a little longer.
