Eliza Mae - September 16th, 2014
Re: TTC Tuesday
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 1 year 3 weeks old
How do you feel? good, the baby has a cough and i feel bad for her bc i took her to the dr and they cant do anything for her bc she doesn't have a fever, so its the humidifier and vicks forever
Any Milestones this week? her new favorite word is Hi, she has started saying baby and/or bubby but thats bc i call her that, she has been scaling the furniture more, no walking yet, but im not in a rush
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?if we are FB friends i posted pics from our week at the beach
non TTC rant- i had posted i officially got my job back and I get to stay at the high school, im just a little annoyed they are moving me to a different house (my high school is divided by houses, each house has a different part of the alphabet with its own clerical, dean, attendance person, 2 counselors who split the alphabet) so the kids Ive been with for the last year and a half and know like the back of my hand I have to leave them and start over with a new group of kids and everyone keeps saying at least you have your job back and your at the HS where you wanted to be! Yes i get that and i am very grateful for all of the above, but im sad bc I am attached to those kids and i worked really hard to get some of them to where they are, and some of them i've had since middle school from when i first worked in the district! And their reason for moving me is stupid, I am housed with the dept chair and they feel that putting the new leave replacement in with her would be beneficial, but where they are moving me to, the counselor in that House has been there for 8 years and according to them is a superstar plus the dept chair doesnt have the time to teach a newbie how to do stuff....ugh anyway rant over, thanks if you read this!
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 11 weeks
How do you feel? Pretty great!
Any Milestones this week? We have a tooth! Ah, I can't even believe it!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I just couldn't not buy this diaper.
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 22
How are you feeling? Pretty good
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I woke up this morning and I could feel Chalupa Batman stretched out. It's the first time I was able to feel head and feet at the same time. Not sure which was which though. It was really cool. It's like he had his hands up in the air and was jumping up and down.
I bravely jumped on a scale this morning and am up 13lbs. I think it's time to store all of my normal clothes. I don't have enough room for the maternity clothes I borrowed from my sister. Which I'm going to have to give back in the near future!! She measured 6w1d on Friday and has another ultrasound today as well. This one will be passed her last loss dates. (She's had 5 miscarriages.) Please say a quick sticky baby prayer for her today, this is a big milestone for her.
@ramstein1027 I don't think your being a baby at all. I had a similar pregnancy scare (though it would have been very wanted) back in May last year and had very similar feelings. That is what made us decide to TTC for real.
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 2 weeks 1 day!!!
How do you feel? Pretty good. Knee swelling almost completely gone, going up and down stairs is much easier now! Picked up a baby carrier so it's easier for me to get around house with him :-)
Any Milestones this week? Still basically just eats, sleeps, & poops!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Super emotional this week! I basically cried all morning yesterday BC H went back to work and I kept thinking I have to eventually go back. I was also sad he is already 2 weeks! Luckily today is a better day :-) lol
Here's a dose of cuteness overload for those not on my Facebook
@ramstein1027 I was in a similar position. I was on the pill and didn't get my period. I took a number of tests and even went to the doctor. I was crushed when he confirmed I wasn't pregnant, even though I was totally freaking out that I was leading up to the appointment. I had to have a baby and H and I decided to move up TTC. We were planning to start last summer, but we weren't preventing, trying to learn temping and my cycle. I got pregnant the next cycle, but it ended in the MC. I don't know if it came across here, but I was quite obsessed with getting pregnant after that.
How many weeks: 38 weeks, at the end!
How are you feeling? I really feel great. I don't feel like I am delivering in a week or two. I have some aches and pains, but nothing too awful. I am dilated and 70-80% effaced, as of Friday. I haven't had Braxton Hicks or contractions, so I don't know when that happened. My doctor said with how far progressed I am, the baby could be here this week. H doesn't think so because he doesn't think that I've dropped and I haven't nested yet. I laughed when he said that.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I have to put my pictures on the computer, bump pic later. The other night apparently I moved around a lot and made a lot of noise in my sleep. H said it kept waking him up thinking something was wrong. I think it's cute that's he on alert like that
@islandmonkey8 I did the same thing at work. I announced when a few people I'm not too fond of hadn't come to the staff meeting yet.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 7 weeks on Thursday.
How do you feel? I felt like we were just coming out of the new born stage fog and now we're smack dab in the middle of a growth spurt. It's brutal.
Any Milestones this week? D is starting to smile a lot more and he'll occasionally roll over during tummy time. But mostly he just sleeps during tummy time since he loves being on his stomach.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I cannot wait for my vagina to not be such a hot mess. The doctors think I've had a yeast infection essentially since DS was born, because of the lochia it went undetected. And I also have my period. FML.
I got my period at 8 weeks postpartum and I was PISSED! Even though I'm EBF, I guess it's because he started STTN at 7 weeks. I hope your infection goes away soon. It won't always feel like a hot mess (well, I certainly hope it doesn't!)
How many weeks: 32 weeks tomorrow
How are you feeling? A little uncomfortable at times because of all the pressure, but good otherwise.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? We had our baby shower on Sunday and we got a ton of cute stuff! We had so many guests at the shower! Our baby girl is truly blessed already!
Here's my bump pic from last week. And for those that aren't on my FB, here's one of the shots from our 3D/4D ultrasound
CD/DPO: CD 18/ no idea how many DPO
W2O or 2WW? I'd guess 2WW, but I could be W2O still
Testing plans: n/a
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: Since last month's cycle was a frustrating (AF was a full 2 weeks late, so clearly I O'd later than expected) I decided to stop thinking about TTC as much. But it's hard when one of my friends is due any day and I see a lot of pregnant/new moms at work.
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 33 weeks
How are you feeling? pretty good. Just annoying tracking my blood sugar 4 times a day, but it keeps me on track.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? See below
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 8 and 9
How do you feel? Mentally drained. Lilly is in his miss attitude stage. You can ask her to do something and she will straight up ignore you. If you ask her again, raising your voice, she cries and it's the most over dramatic thing ever. "Lilly, stop eating the tomatoes you'll give yourself a belly ache" "YOU DON'T WANT ME TO EAT EVER AGAIN!!!", Um, no, I just don't want you puking tomatoes...
Any Milestones this week? They are getting so big and making their own choices. I love when they talk about the baby. Lilly gives me water in case the baby is thirsty and Ryan will ask about where baby Eliza will sleep, etc. It's so cute.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Even got some goat pictures for @goatlady12
