Re: TTC Tuesday
How many weeks: 36 - one month to go!
How are you feeling?
On and off not feeling great. My BP is up but not Pre-e high. Excited that I'm finally to weekly appointments as of this week. The end is in sight!
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics?
Just got all the results back from my Pre-E tests. It all came back great, so the reason my BP is up is a mystery. They had me do a 24 hour urine collection. I hope none of you ever have to do that. You literally have to collect every drop of urine for 24 hours. DH was grossed out by it because my pee jug had to be refrigerated. He insisted I keep it in a cooler and far away from his Chinese food. He's funny, but it worked a lot better because I kept the cooler in the bathroom. If you ever have to do this, cooler is the way to go!
Chalupa Batman's tests were awesome. They said he is ready to breathe on his own, he's head down facing to the side, and fluid levels are all good. The ultrasound estimated him at 6.5lbs as of Halloween. If that is right he'll be 8.5-9lbs at birth. It will be interesting to see if that's accurate. I also had them double check, still a boy.
We started to get things together in the nursery. We got the wall decal up and I finally washed his bed sheets. Plan on washing his clothes and blankets this week so I can get baby's hospital bag packed. Not sure when our bag will get packed.
DH and I bought a king size bed this weekend. Yay! It will be here next weekend. I'm super excited about a new big bed. Also means I have to go shopping for new sheets, maybe we'll do that after voting today.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? Just shy of 6 months
How do you feel? Like it is impossible I have a 6 month old kid!
Any Milestones this week? Sitting up unassisted really well. In the past week, he has only face planted twice. I call that a victory!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I'm losing patience with H. We agreed he would do all of the washing/filling etc. of all bottles. I have now washed, refilled and washed the pump bottles and parts every day for a week. I'm quite pissed about it. I already have to wash bottles and pump parts 3 times a day at work and now I have to do it at home too. Ugh, it's frustrating!
How many weeks: 14w1d
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Just tired from our trip this weekend. My feet hurt the most they've ever hurt in my life from all the walking! They finally feel better today.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I'm really hoping to take an official bump picture tonight. I'll post it later if I do.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 7 weeks. This is the first time I didn't copy and paste the pregnant Girls questions first.
How do you feel? Tired, but not because of E. She's sleeping 5-6 hour stretches every night. But I've been sleeping on a love seat at my mamaw's for a week. Can't freaking wait for my bed!
Any Milestones this week? She "talks" to her toys on her playmat. She also was trying very hard to laugh at her mamaw. She's starting to grab at things too. Leap 2 us starting so I'm getting ready for the 3 c's (crying, cranky and clingy)
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?
First pictures is in mamaw's sink. E was gasy and it was hurting her. So we let her relax in warm water. But since there's no heat in the bath tub we had a towel over her to keep her warm. This was the only time in 3 hours she wasn't screaming. She burped and farted at the same time Haha.
Then Lilly holding E! She was so surprised and happy to meet her sister.
Cycle/Month: 13 I think, 2AL
CD/DPO: 11
W2O or 2WW? W2O
Testing plans: started OPKs yesterday
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I'm not temping again this cycle which is nice. Last cycle's bust means I will be at least 31 before I have a baby now, so that stung. Hopefully I will o soon, since we have guests this weekend. Awkward.....
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? She will be 3 months on Saturday!
How do you feel? Great but sad knowing I go back to work in 2 weeks
Any Milestones this week? She's laughing a talking a lot and mimicking. I was making monster sounds at my niece, we go back and forth. Yesterday, O joined in. Today, we went to the doctor. O only gained half a pound this month but she grew an inch and a half. O didn't even cry for her shot. I was proud.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I got nothing this week.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? A week shy of 5 months!!
How do you feel? Tired as usual. I'm running out of steam between school and DS. But everyday it gets a little easier.
Any Milestones this week? He's getting better at sitting up unassisted. We prop him up and he doesn't lean to one side as much as he used to.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? The great Halloween Pumpkin!
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 4 months next week!!
How do you feel? Pretty good. I'm able to put him down more for napping and sleeping and while he's awake he's starting to be able to entertain himself in his seat while I get stuff done . I've actually been able to do my hair in the mornings and get in here more often in the evenings!
Any Milestones this week? We can't get over how smiley and happy he is !! He's starting to hold things for short periods.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Pics below from halloween. I'm obsessed with garden gnomes ( we have 17 on our lawn spring through fall) so I made him a little gnome costume. He then wore a batman onesie to daycare. First pic is what I call drunk gnome! Last pic is his November hat :-)
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 5 weeks yesterday
How do you feel? Good. We're getting better at the breastfeeding now
Any Milestones this week? She seems to have found her voice a little
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?
We're taking our first road trip this week. We left yesterday from Ohio to make our way to Florida for a friend's wedding. So far, Little Bird has done very well with the trip. Hopefully Day 2 of our trip goes as well.
So sorry for your loss. I hope you're taking care of yourself
