I feel like crap!!
So I didn't go to work yesterday because I was running a fever and felt blech. I had the cold sweats BAD!!!! I was sweating so bad, but I felt like I was freezing, so I had a blanket, but then would get too hot and throw it off. I could NOT get comfortable. I'm STILL on my period, but hopefully today is the last day. It used to start on Wednesdays and then run until Sunday. This time, it didn't start until Friday, so I'm still on it. I'm a crankopotamus today.
On a side note, this time next year I might be KTFU. Adam and I have been talking about it a lot lately. I wanted to wait at least a year. He wants to start like right now. I told him we should wait until May. He said we should start TTC for his birthday next month. We kinda came to a compromise and will probably start trying in Feb. Crap, that's scary.
Re: I feel like crap!!
Ick! I hope you feel better soon, being sick sucks!
Glad you and Adam came to a compromise about TTC. Right now my HH and I are on the same page about having kids, we want to wait a few years. I'm wondering how long we'll actually end up waiting though. He talks about kids alot more than he used to here lately and he talks about getting a bigger SUV alot. I have a Jeep Liberty at the moment but we'll get something bigger when the babies start coming.
i feel like crap too... still.... dammit!
way to compromise! it's definitely scary, but that's what you have us for!
Mine are usually 7 days, too. Lately they've been shortening to 5 or 6, and I am rejoicing!
Matt said something a few weeks ago about us maybe starting to try for a kid in May. I freaked out, even though I told him a long time ago that we had to have our first baby by the time I was 30. I'm not sure how much time I have before menopause hits and we want at least two kids, so I'm nervous about putting it off longer than that.
Still, it's scary. I'm 27 now, so it's no longer something that's way out there in the future; I need to get KTFU within two years or so at the outside. Yikes!
Ahhh speaking of getting KTFU, I was always the one who was on the baby train and Dave wasn't. Now the roles are reversed. But when I went to the doctor on Friday, she asked me if I was taking any pre-natal vitamins. I said no, and she said that I should be, because you are apparently supposed to be taking them ages before you get pregnant. So I panicked a little, and made Dave buy them for me on the weekend. I took the first one on Monday, and he sent me a text saying "Do you feel any different now that you're taking your baby pills?" hahaha
I told him that right now I'm working on getting skinnier, not fatter. So I'm not going to jeopordize my hard work by getting pregnant. So he looks at me and tells me "when you're done with your workout program [NROLFW = 6 to 9 months] we'll start trying to get you knocked up"
So. Looks like we'll be trying sometime between March and June. Right about when we'd kind of talked about it before anyway.
i hope you start feeling better. I feel like something is coming on! YUCK!!
HH and I are on the same page when it comes to babies, NOT YET!! I feel like I'm the only one here that is pushing it off a few years (besides Katy) We've been together a long time but we want to be able to enjoy married life first and go on some more vacations. We are thinking closer to 30 which gives us another 3-4 years.
hahahhahaha to table pooper. That is my nightmare as well.
Also, I watched "I didn't know I was pregnant" yesterday. There was a 37 year old TEACHER on there. I can understand the 16 year olds who don't know any better and are in denial. But an educated 37 year old? Give me a break. And she smoked the entire time. And all of these babies seem to be born healthy. But I know if I were to have half a glass of wine one time, my baby would be born with six nipples or something.
hah well I definitely won't be having babies anytime soon! :P Plus Brandon didn't really want them anyway.
I am completely terrified of giving birth, being pregnant, all that. I don't want my vagina to rip open and have to wear mesh panties!!!
I think I'm irrationally afraid of it hahah.
That show is so freaky and ridiculous. I really hope most if not all of those stories are fake.
I vote that we stop talking about poop, mesh undies, and butt stitches. Or else I will never procreate, and the world will be a sadder place.
Who is with me?
HAHAHA
BUTT STITCHES BUTT STITCHES! EEEEEWWWW
Stu, I'm pretty sure almost everyone is a table pooper. My friend was so stoked cuz she thought she didn't poop. Later her boyfriend told her she did, and she was very embarrassed.
Dear Hayley,
Ihatechu.
Love,
JE
This is me!!! lol I'm terrified of being a table pooper!
Hahaha - well it's too late for me to turn back now! I warned DH that lots of women crap themselves during labor and pushing out the baby and was he prepared for that? We both agreed he needs to stay up near me while I'm delivering and not see what's happening down there.
Ah well. L&D nurses and doctors see it all. Of course, even if you poop before you leave for the hospital, Sara, it could be hours before the baby is ready to come out...making your earlier bathroom trip a moot point. ;-) Just sayin'.
Also, I'll be 32 when I have the baby and DH will be 35. Our first child. We want more than 1 so we'll be busy the next few years, I think.
Dear JE,
ihatechutoo

ps I think you can poop right up til go time, and you can sometimes get an enema too.
I have a pretty regular poop routine. I only go once a day, sometimes less than that, so I think if I poop before I leave the house, I SHOULD be ok. Yeah, and Adam is getting nowhere near the "birthing area". We've already talked about it. He was like "um, there's no way in hell I want to see it all stretched out like that". I'm definitely good with that.
Oh and you're welcome for getting to learn about my poop schedules!!! haha
I am learning so much about the birthing process that I really didn't want to know until it was too late to turn back! I can now add another fear to the list: table pooping. Thanks for that, everyone...
Matt's job is going to be keeping our mothers (especially his) OUT of the delivery room. If his mom gets anywhere near me while I am in that kind of pain, I may unthinkingly stake her in the heart with a scalpel or something.
The only people in the delivery room will be me, HH and any necessary medical peronnel. NO ONE ELSE! Idc for people to come in and see me at the beginning of my labor, but as soon as its time to push, everyone is leaving.
