Not much new here. We met with the contractor last night and it doesn't sound like we're getting this project started until sometime in FEBRUARY!!! Ugh! I'm worried because I'm due May 2nd and last time I went 8 weeks early due to complications (which thankfully don't seem to be an issue this pregnancy, but I'll know for sure at my anatomy scan next week). But still. Even if it takes 2 months to do (he gave us a 4-6 week timeframe, but you know how that goes) that puts me into April. Which is when DS's birthday is too and we usually have his parties at our house! 2016 will be fun ;-)
Morning! Are you still going to go for it now, jessnpaul? Even if it drags, it seems easier to do now then disrupting all order once baby is already here?
I think this child has flipped between head down and transverse a few times this week. At this point, I don't even trust myself to tell where she is. Going back to the chiro today, and she'll be able to tell me. She's also certified in the Webster technique, so if baby decides to stay transverse, I'm hoping she can help get her to flip.

last night was my first work event since i went public, and i had several people come up to hug and congratulate me and ask how i'm feeling. it's really sweet, but it's also still so weird for me because i forget it's something so many people know about now. and i'm BARELY out of the "ball of anxiety all day every day" stage.

Morning guys!
TMI H and I had sex for the first time this pregnancy last night (we've been cleared for a while, but were nervous and I always felt sick so it hasn't happened), and this morning I wake up to find him on the couch - he was sick 3 or 4 times last night. Thanks H! First time we have sex was when you apparently had the stomach flu - I'm just hoping against hope it was something he ate and not a bug.

Yeah we're still going for it. And pray that baby doesn't make an early arrival ;-)

jessnpaul (and @cookiemonster03), my nausea is gone but my hips are killing me! I had horrible reflux that kept waking me up last night and I think my half-sitting-up sleep position really aggravated them.
In good news, I found a lot of six NB diaper covers, some prefolds, and some Snappis on eBay last night at a great "buy it now" price! I think that now I just need another dozen prefolds and a few more covers and we should be set for the newborn stage! I'd like to keep it under $60 so my NB total comes out to $200.
Today, hips allowing, I hope to fold some laundry, wash some more, do some paperwork, continue working on my birth plan, and possibly go to choir practice. I'm keeping my expectations low.
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!

umm...is it time to confess DH and i still haven't, since before stims BACK IN SEPTEMBER?

Um, ditto for us from August! And we didn't even do IVF this time around! I was nervous for a long time and now I'm just tired

We've done it once the entire pregnancy, it's not going to happen again before baby is born, and I doubt very much it will happen for awhile once baby's here. Oh well...

H and I haven't had sex since our anniversary, Oct 16. I haven't felt up to it and I am still a little scared that it will mess something up (although I know it won't).
My boss is going to be the death of me before I go out on maternity leave. I think I may need to start looking while I'm on leave. I can't take working for such a tool anymore.
Guys... WHAT?! I read that pregnancy orgasms are stronger and based on the one I had the other day, it's definitely true. It was incredible! I have to schedule around my morning sickness which sadly intensifies at night, but on weekends in the afternoon it's on. I love having one type of physical pleasure back in my life (RIP booze and vigorous exercise).
Part of me wants to be discreet and part of me wants to tell you that my DH had to slap a hand over my mouth to silence me so I didn't wake my stepkids...

9 weeks out, I have no interest in it. It doesn't help that I'm still bleeding some.

So we figured out my c section! My OB is driving to the hospital after clinic and my friend is coming in on her day off. I'm 90% pumped and 10% guilty. It won't be until 4 pm but they said I could eat breakfast that day.

You poor thing. About the bleeding, not the sex. I'm cleared for sex this week, but it's not happening. Not ready.

My OB was worried about it increasing my risk of pre-term labor. I read the studies and decided the chances were slim, but between my morning sickness and then sheer exhaustion -- and complete "what if!!!" terror -- it just wasn't happening. We tried once early on but I think due to hormonal changes it was super uncomfortable for me, so we stopped. Soooo...it's been since April. ::weeps::

One of my "best sex" moments came during my 1st pregnancy. I hope there is more of that to come....
I'm definitely enjoying pregnant sex because if it's like with DD, sex was awful while I was nursing.
SO TIRED. It's like all the energy that I've expelled taking care of everything for my dad is just spent. I want to lay in bed all day and night. Didn't make it to the gym today so far and I can tell because I've had a ton of BH. Hopefully I can make it over there later, if not I will be feeling it tomorrow.
Add me to the "Haven't done it since the BFP" club. I just haven't felt up to it. I imagine that by the time I WILL be up to it, I'll have a full-on baby belly, which could make things weird. My poor H hasn't pushed too hard for it, but I know he's got some pent-up, uh, energy.

You guys are making me feel better about the fact that we're probably done with sex until long after I give birth. It just sounds uncomfortable at this stage, and I have no energy left after dealing with flood chores and keeping up on regular life.
I'd say that the sex we had earlier in pregnancy was probably better than average though.

We have had sex since I had a belly and DH and I had both felt her move, and, yeah, it adds a weird aspect. We'd overcome it if everything else was favorable, but, meh.
I was hoping for the increased libido that all the pregnancy books go on and on about but not so much. We've probably averaged every 2 to 3 weeks. We'll see if our norm NYE happens because it's already been a while.
I'm watching my 10 month old niece today which has been exhausting lol. She's down for a nap so I'm working on thank you notes from our shower. We have a doula appointment tonight so I'm excited for that
