Week of May 21

[thoseareradishes]

I'm going to start this early, because I have a little AW

E was cleared to start nursing last week, and she was able to latch and transfer a little breastmilk!  I'm so happy that this might work out for us.  She's really into it, knew just what to do.  However, she is choking/refluxing a little, which makes her heart rate and sats go down and she turns a little blue until we can help her recover.  It's so scary.  We'll keep working at it though, hopefully it is just something that she needs to grow out of.

What's everyone up to?

Yay! That's great thoseareradishes. So glad to hear things are going well.

I am in Florida for a food conference and our last couples vacatiom. I'm feeling good and little man is moving like crazy.

I feel like I'm huge but apparently people weren't sure if I am pregnant or just gaining weight so I guess im.not that big. I've been rocking my maternity bathing suit and feeling good about it.

Dh bought me a pregnancy massage yesterxay and it was so nice. The woman was wonderful and it felt great. Then I got a hand made chocolate and cup of herbal tea afterwards.

Also my first shower is on Thursday. It's my work one so I'm expecting a lot of clothes and diapers but I'm super excited!!!

thoseareradishes !!! I cannot imagine what a roller coaster you are going through. The strength you show daily is so inspiring. Baby radish is so lucky to have you as her mama.

King26, I hope you are enjoying florida!! At 26 weeks I was just starting to really look pregnant I think.

Not much here. Had a bit of a breakdown this weekend just thinking something is still going to go wrong. It's tough when our experiences have been so tedious to get pregnant and so many of us have had losses and know all the horror stories of what COULD happen, you know? So I still just have it in my head that something will happen. It is an awful feeling.

T minus 9 weeks!

I am so happy for you thoseareradishes!!

Enjoy your shower King26. Please come back and post al the cute baby clothes.

Hugs shauni27. Knowing the coulds is hard. We are all cheering you on.

That's a great update thoseareradishes!
Enjoy the shower and the massage King26!
Hugs shauni27. Pregnancy is so nerve wracking as it is, and I can't imagine what it must be like to do it after a loss.

AFM, still no ovulation since my RE appointment a week ago (I had a 11mm follicle on Monday, so I should have ovulated over the weekend). And now DH is out of town until Thursday night. If I haven't ovulated by Thursday, I'll call my doc and ask for progesterone to get things started.

Are you doing a FET soon? (sorry haven't been following on here much)

Had my SHG last week which wasn't bad. Kind of nice to be back with the RE The actual procedure was mild cramp but after was sooo much cramping. I wanted to curl up into a ball at work. I took 2 Aleve and immediately felt better. My uterus looks good and she said my ovaries are still young and healthy. It would be nice if it happened naturally this cycle but planning to do FET when I get my period. I'm also trying to eat better. I've had a bad addiction to sugar lately and I really need to cut it.

Still in July (I'm wanting a due date in the latter half of April next, because it will be 1 year since starting my new job and I'll qualify for FMLA). My new RE wants to put me back on BC starting with my next cycle to begin suppression, and we'll redo the mock transfer on my next cycle too.

hey ladies, just stopping in to say hi. I will probably not be posting around here much anymore, and might go back to the TTTC board. if anyone wants to friend me on FB, just shoot me a PM and we can set it up. wishing you all the best!

[loira]

Huge hugs, oneslybookworm. I think everyone here understands, even if we will miss you.

A is already 2 months old! How time flies! Shots today were rough, it killed me seeing her screaming with tears. She's sleeping through the night already though, with a 8-9 hour stretch. She usually goes down sometime around 8/8:30, wakes up around 5/5:30. H does her diaper and I give her a bottle and then some days I can get her to go back down for another hour or two.

This weekend A is meeting her uncle and aunt. It's the first get together with BIL, fSIL and MIL since FIL's memorial service back at the beginning of February. I have the feels.

Yay thoseareradishes! I love E updates!

King26- you look great in your pictures you posted on Instagram. I think you look pregnant, you have a cute little belly.

((shauni27)) your that close already?? Wow that seems like it's going quick. (At least for me, lol)

((oneslybookworm)) I hope you get chosen again soon and next time the match to delivery is way quicker so that you don't have to stress as much.

We went camping again this weekend DD loved it. Her personality is starting to come through so much. She loves to pet our pup and she giggles when she does it. It's the cutest thing.

[shauni27]

oneslybookworm, I have been thinking of you guys non-stop. Sending so much love.

[konapoppy]

Hugs oneslybookworm.

[kristind3]

I've been thinking of you oneslybookworm. I definitely understand stepping back for a while. Lots of hugs to you.

[thoseareradishes]

((oneslybookworm)) Hope to see you here again soon.

[dollyllama]

Huge hugs oneslybookworm, you've been on my mind so much. I fully understand the break and hope your time away from this board is short.

[King26]

Had my work shower today! I thought I'd get a lot of clothes but I didn't get any! Which is totally fine since my mother has this child clothed for the first 4 years of his life. People were super generous. We got our Pak n Play, Rock n Play, Kick n Play mat, and a ton of Babies R Us gift cards which will come in handy.

We are picking up our carseat from a friend this weekend. I'm really feeling like this is goign to happen!

yay for a good shower King26!
