Re: TTC Tuesday
How many weeks: 32 weeks! Holy Crap time is flying!
How are you feeling? Good but my back is sore and heart burn... Oh the heart burn.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics?
Well, the GD class was very helpful, unlike my doctor's office. I got my meter and I check my blood sugar 4 times a day. I've only been over my limit once by 5 points. If anything, my fasting is super low on the weekends. To the point, I had double my carbs for breakfast Sunday and was still below my limit when I checked 2 hours later.
With my parents being diabetic I know what I can eat and what I need to limit, so it's not hard... Just will power to say no. Plus all the yummy produce is in season! Seriously, get a spiral cutter and make zuchinni noodles, you won't miss pasta! I promise! Yummy goodness.
We got the kids room set up for them to come in this weekend for 2 weeks! We got them a dresser and letters to paint to put their names on the wall. And curtains! Since they are coming up longer and longer in wanted their room more personable. Now I just need to survive the 500 miles there and back to get them... And go to MIL's wedding.
We got Eliza's dresser together too and a shelf in the closet. Now we need a crib, and finish painting the changing table... And get my glider. At least here pnp is ready in out room!
Cycle/Month: 6
CD/DPO: CD 11
W2O or 2WW? w2o
Testing plans: none
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I'm taking someone's advice (I can't remember who...) and trying not to focus on TTC for the next few cycles. Since I'm not charting or temping (for various reasons that I'll disclose if asked) we usually just try to have sex everyday between CD 14-20 in case that's my FW.
@christinafromflanders I think focusing on something else will be good for a few months. Have fun and enjoy the really good sex!
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 37 weeks, FULL TERM!!!!
How are you feeling? I feel great. Still sleeping well and have no complaints. I went for a long walk with a friend last week, then yesterday a decent walk with a girl from HS that I just got back in contact with. Then I went to this outdoor shopping center with my mom and of course needed to walk from one end to the other. I came home and slept for like 2 hours. I feel like the baby dropped a little, not delivery time dropped, but I am lower.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? My mom made plans with her assistant principal before the school year was over to go to her town pool with her daughter-in-law, who I used to work with, and granddaughter. She made the plans for SIL to come with the kids too. Today is the day and I don't really feel like going. I don't have a maternity bathing suit. I'm wearing an old bikini that I never liked anyway with an old, flowy(spelling does not look right) cover-up over it. I am refusing to remove the cover-up. To make things worse, SIL is stuck in Pennsylvania and probably won't be joining us. Who really wants to see a 9 months pregnant woman in a pool? H said I can say no to my mother, that I'm 31, not 10. I asked him when the last time he said no to his mother was. He didn't have a response.
How many weeks: 31 weeks tomorrow!
How are you feeling? Good. My sciatic nerve pain seems to have calmed down some *knock on wood*.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I'm looking forward to our 3D ultrasound on Thursday! I'm so excited to see a clearer view of Wren's face!
Here's my bump pic from last week
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 21
How are you feeling? Good, just some growing pains.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Not much I was having major growing pains yesterday. I hate some of those weird feelings you get that make you debate if you need to go in or not. Glad I didn't overreact yesterday. Not much going on other than that.
Update on my sister: Her HCG numbers have been doubling, but her progesterone dropped a little. She's now taking progesterone pills and has an ultrasound on Friday. Please continue to keep her in your T&Ps.
Finally, here's last weeks bump pic:
TTCers: (I feel weird calling myself a TTCer because we're not trying super hard?)
Cycle/Month: I've been off birth control for 2 and a half months.
CD/DPO: CD3
W2O or 2WW? W2O sort of...?
Testing plans: None presently. I may take one before we go on vacation in a few weeks though, just because I'm neurotic. I want to know it'll be safe to drink cocktails. :P
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts:
I haven't been formally charting or temping or anything like that, both because we only JUST decided we were ready to stop preventing and because I feel like it would put unnecessary pressure on us both. I have been noting the start of my cycle since I went off the pill just for my own reference and have half a clue when I'm ovulating, but I think I'm ready to do a little more. TTCers, what do you use to track? Recommend me an app.
@pockysquirrelI just downloaded a free app, I think it was called period tracker. It just kept track of how long my cycles were and then estimated ovulation time. It's a nice way to keep track of your cycles without charting.
ETA: It's not an accurate O prediction but does give a ballpark based solely on your cycle.
How many weeks:29w3d
How are you feeling? physically fine
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I really have to get the nursery done before my shower in a month!!!
How old is LO: 6 weeks on Thursday.
How do you feel? I'm doing better. I have my 6 week pp appointment today and plan to bring up all the feelings I've been having.
Any Milestones this week? I think we're almost at the social smile. He's focusing on faces and turns his head when I talk. He's also rolled over once. And he's out of newborn diapers
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 8 days new!!!!
How do you feel? Feeling better every day. 2 days after I had him my feet and knee swelled again so, little by little the swelling is going down and it's getting easier and easier to walk.
we are also exhausted lol.
Any Milestones this week? No other milestones other then just getting cuter by the day :-)
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Did new born pics this morning and he was less then cooperative. He has been basically sleeping 22 hours a day and today when we need him sleeping he stayed awake / crying the whole time. No idea how she got any pics done. She also offered us a session for free at one month since he wasn't cooperating today :-) I posted the sneak preview she put up on Facebook.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)?
6 months & change..how did that happen!?
How do you feel?
Tired! She's had a few bad nights over the last week..hopefully tonight will be better.
Any Milestones this week?
We started solids!!! (This is big for us because the pedi had us wait because 1. Preemie 2. Intestinal surgeries but he gave us the all clear!!)
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?
Her checkup was Friday & she's up to 11 lbs10 oz & 24 inches. Her pedi was pleased even though she still isn't on the chart because after all she's been through, she's still growing towards the chart rather than plateauing and growing parallel.
The first is a shot from her 6 month session and the second ones were today because Tuesday is for tutus!!
