Re: TTC Tuesday
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 4 1/2 months
How do you feel? Pretty good, feeling like I'm getting the hang of being a working mom.
Any Milestones this week? We got our first big belly laughs on Sunday. It was the best sound ever!
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 30, only 10 to go!
How are you feeling? Tired and huge

I have an appoinment tonight. Getting my flu and dtap shots. Vaccines make me super nervous because vaccine allergies run in my family. I've seen anaphylaxis on the farm, so I'm really bad about shots. It's super scary, the needle doesn't bother me, it's the fear of being allergic. DH is hopefully getting his shots tonight too. I don't know if they'll give them to him at my appointment. I was going to schedule his separately but the chick in scheduling asked me what a dtap shot was and it made me nervous. I'm hoping that if he can't get them that I can at least get my doctor to order it for him so he gets the correct shots.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? Almost 3.5 months.
How do you feel? Good. School is busy so I enjoy my snuggle time.
Any Milestones this week? Not really. Although he's now wearing outfits and they make him look like such a big boy.

Pregnant Girls:

How many weeks:38w3d
How are you feeling? great, my back hurt last night after doing all of baby's landry though
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? So excited to have finished our registry, and made a killing! before coupons and giftcards and discounts: $1022, after: $280!!! But we have to return the mattress as it is too small for the crib
Also, check out this dissapearing bump from yesterday, it's magic!
ETA- @goatlady12 I believe the dtap shot is for infants only, the Tdap shot is what you and DH should get. I made two apts back to back for me and DH, but they took us together. While we were there we even asked about his chicken pox immunity (his mom claimed he never had it) so they gave him the titer too. (he has had it and doesn't need the vaccine)
>TTCers:
Cycle/Month: I guess officially 12 of trying, 1st post-MC, 15 (!) since we started trying
CD/DPO: 6
W2O or 2WW? W2O
Testing plans: going to start OPKs probably over the weekend.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I'm trying to decide if I am going to temp this cycle. I had stopped before our bfp after getting a good gauge on how my cycles worked relative to the OPK results, and I liked it. But since I need to do 7 dpo bloodwork, I feel like I should know for sure.
I guess my only thoughts are some excitement to start trying again but I don't feel optimistic.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 6 weeks. I can't believe how fast time is flying!
How do you feel? I feel good, just frustrated with our sleep situation.
Any Milestones this week? O is definitely smiling. She is so easy to get to smile. I think she laughs too. She gets a huge smile and squeals often. Her sleeping is getting worse, she rarely naps and will only sleep with us. She is doing well with tummy time. Her favorite part of it is licking the bed/mat/changing table, where ever we are having tummy time. It's cute.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I know the best time to cut nails are during naps, but when O takes them, I don't want to disturb her. When do you all cut your baby's nails?
Pregnant Girls:
How many weeks: 8w1d
How are you feeling? Ok. I've made a 3pm nap a habit now. I think I'm going to have to tell my employees soon because it doesn't look good that I'm asleep in my office every afternoon. Also dealing with digestion issues and I'm trying out prune juice (the most disgusting juice ever!) to see if it helps. So far, just a ton of gas which is terrible. Sorry if that's TMI.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? We got my stepdaughters back yesterday and their mom had her baby last week. We asked them how it felt to have a baby brother now and the oldest said, "The same because we didn't really get anything." lol I guess she thought it was going to be a present and then realized it's just this thing that cries every once in a while. Haha! I'm getting anxious to tell them, but I have my next appt at 11.5 weeks and we'll get them back the week after, so we're waiting until then. That's when we'll tell the rest of the family too.
How many weeks: 40 weeks tomorrow!!!
How are you feeling? Tired and sore in my pelvic area, but otherwise, good.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? We have a dr appt tomorrow afternoon and I'm curious to see if I've progressed any farther. I was at about 3 cm dilated the last 2 weeks, and it feels like she's moved down some, so I want to find out if anything's changed.
And here's the bump from last week
@LdubsHawksFan I'm praying for you!
@magpie87 I am excited for Baby Watch September 2014 2.0! Good luck!!!
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 1 week
How do you feel? Still very tender from the c section. I feel great but I over do it easily and need to stop pushing it. I hate relying on everyone, but H and my parents are spoiling me and Eliza.
Any Milestones this week? Had her 1 week check up yesterday. She is 1 oz from birth weight which is a sigh of relief from me. I mean, she feeds all the time, but I worry. She is 70th percentile length, 35 weight, 50 head. So she's tall and skinny like her daddy and my normal sized head. So also projectile pooped on the nurse doing her rectum temp. I felt so freaking bad.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I'm so in love. I look at her and just cry. She's such a good baby. She hates dirty diapers, but I can't blame her but man can she scream when we don't change her fast enough. She sleeps 2-3 hours between feedings at night. I finally got my glider so I hope I can do more at night. I can't get in and out of bed too easily, and Def not with her. So now when H goes back to work we can feed from the glider.
I'm still working on E's birth story. I'm writing it in word because I don't trust TN.
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 10 weeks!!! How on earth did that happen??!!
How do you feel? Very emotional. I've been back at work for two weeks but H was home with T so I was able to text and get updates/pictures all day. T started daycare yesterday and I cried leaving yesterday and cried before I even left the house today! Hoping we get into a nice routine soon.
Any Milestones this week? We are getting more and more smiles from T everyday. He gave H a huge smile when we got home today and I could have melted seeing him get so excited over each other :-)
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? T and I survived our solo 3 hour road trip !!! We went to the circus while we were away as well (pic below) And about 5 mins into the show he fell asleep lol!
