Eliza Mae - September 16th, 2014
Re: TTC Tuesday
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 3 months
How do you feel? Good, tired. He has been waking up a few times at night again.
Any Milestones this week? The first little giggles. So cute, I can't hardly take it.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?
CD/DPO: CD 30
W2O or 2WW? 2WW I think.
Testing plans: I caved and used a HPT this morning, which was negative. I'm not testing again until Friday.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: nope.
How many weeks: 35 weeks
How are you feeling? Really off today. Cramping and back pain. I just got a non stress test yesterday and there was one possible contraction noted. Eliza is head down, knees up and facing back so she's in position. I'm drinking water and walking around. Debating on going home at lunch to rest in case it's just me getting sick. If it's more consistent I'll call the doctor.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Oh just me and Elvis... He song love me tender to the baby, just a little awkward.
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 24, officially 6 months!!
How are you feeling? My ribs are killing me. He's not kicking them a lot I think it's maybe from them widening? I don't know, I stuck an icepack in the bottom of my bra while I made fajitas last night. That seemed to help. I had no idea you started to get uncomfortable this early. Maybe it's because I'm only 5'3..
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? DH and I started our registries last night. We are doing Target and Buy Buy Baby. Target's system was down so we went to BBB. They were super helpful, but definitely lead you towards the more expensive items. I have no idea how much the items I registered for cost. DH and I left looking like zombies.
I'll post a bump picture tonight. I've heard a lot this week about how pregnant I look now, and how big I've gotten. Thanks for calling me huge guys, appreciate it! :-bd
@mana8503 - love the pic with Elvis!!!
@goatlady12 - I'm only 5'0 and I remember terrible pain under my boob in the rib area pretty early. I was also thinking BC I'm so short maybe he was cramped earlier. Also do research the bigger items on your registry. The first time we went in to register we were sooooooo overwhelmed we left after about 30 mins and only out the diaper pail on the list lol. I changed items almost daily til I was all finished with looking stuff up / getting advise from mommy friends!
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 4 weeks yesterday !! Where is the time going!
How do you feel? Pretty good!
Any Milestones this week? He seems to be holding his head up more and more.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? We are going back Saturday to the photographer for one month pics. He did not cooperate last time for us to get the number of promised shots so she offered us a free session at one month.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 2 months! Holy how did that happen??
How do you feel? I'm ok. He's sleeping about 6-7 hrs at night so we're finally getting some solid sleep.
Any Milestones this week? He gets his first set of shots tomorrow
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?
@goatlady12 Don't get overwhelmed with registering. There are a millions things out there for babies. Definitely research, like Dana said. That will help narrow down selections. Just because something is expensive, doesn't mean it's the best. Also, I'm 5'5 and I felt the rib pain. It got worse as the pregnancy went on. Mine actually didn't go away until shortly before I started to push. O kept her feet in my ribs right up until the end.
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 4 days
How do you feel? Yesterday I would have said great, today, eh. O was latching great and sleeping. All of a sudden yesterday afternoon, it's like I'm trying to murder her when I am trying to get her to latch. We had to give her formula overnight because she was so hysterical and starving. I pumped a little while ago and she took that with no problem. I think I may call a lactation consultant today and get some advice. H is so supportive and helpful, I'm already dreading Monday when we has to go back to work.
Any Milestones this week? O was born
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I will post a picture this afternoon, but only for a few hours. I don't believe in putting pictures of children on the Internet. Expect it from about 3-10 EST.
Bump Pic
I'll try again.
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 34 weeks!
How are you feeling? Good. I'm stressing about being able to get everything done in time. I'm hoping that we can pick up our crib this weekend and get it set up and that maybe that will help me to relax about the prep stuff a little. Maybe?
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Here's the bump from last week. We're having our maternity pics done this Saturday! I'm hoping that the weather cooperates!
G is 7 months & change..holy crap! I don't even know how that happened. I guess I better start planning for Halloween, Christmas and her birthday all seemingly back to back!!
I am exhausted. Work has been very stressful lately and she just hasn't been cooperating at night. I'm tired, H is tired..I need a break (but I want to spend all my time with her too). I've also been a bit emotional lately about me having had the cancer and all..like today I saw a sign about a benefit for cancer patients and even though my dr says I'm fine now tears just sprang to my eyes thinking about it all. I guess I'm not as emotionally over the treatment and stuff as I try to act.
But..oh a good note..baby girl is SITTING!!! She went from basically not being able to at all to one day she just did it and is for the most part pretty steady!
Early intervention people are supposed to be coming out to evaluate her though since she was a preemie so that appointment will probably be soon. And for some pics..
