Week of Jan 7

Can I join in here now that I’m officially a grad?

DD was born on Friday (1/4), and I’m still in shock that she’s actually here. It doesn’t feel real yet.

I’m really struggling I feel so guilty for feeling depressed and riddled with anxiety because I have two beautiful boys who are my entire world, but fuck it’s been so hard getting out of bed.

The 22nd is our next big meeting, fingers crossed they continue on path with a goal change.

riffraff - I'm so sorry that you're struggling.

katespade - congrats!

Oops I posted this over on TTTC main board but meant to do it here: Had my 15 day u/s yesterday and we've been given the green light for a Monday transfer. Yiiiiikes. This really came up on us quickly. I'm nervous. Super nervous.

My results were posted in my chart thing that I can access online, and my lining was 10.9mm. It was 9 last time and 7something the month we transferred what would eventually become DS. I have no idea if having that extra ~2mm will increase our odds, but I'll take it. I doubt it does because I've implanted on all 3 of my past transfers, one being a loss at 6.5 weeks, one DS, and a CP in November. But whatever, we'll see what happens. Fingers crossed for our last little blast.

katespade CONGRATS! I read your birth story over on GP--what a beauty!
riffraff I am so sorry that things are so tough right now.
knx9211 YAY!!! Fingers crossed for this little blast!

Hugs riffraff. We're here for you if you want to talk/vent/whatever.

Congrats katespade!

Thanks loira The doctor called back and said it was never noted as an issue in the NICU, and she wouldn't have even noticed it if I hadn't pointed it out. So she said we'll just touch base about it again in July during her next appt. I know it's going to float around in my head bothering me until I know for sure there's no issue though.

Good luck knx9211!

Huge hugs, riffraff!

thoseareradishes, I’m so sorry that you’ve got this extra stress and tracking. I had wondered about B’s back too, although they keep saying it’s normal. It feels like after you have a baby super early, the universe should cut you a break! When her doctor said we needed to refer to look at her crossed toe, I was like, fucking really??? Anyway, good thoughts that there’s no issue!

Lord, this dual working parent stuff is hellish. I set up 6m and 7y appointments for the kids together, and H was going to do it, but has to be away for work. I’m a dummy and didn’t check my calendar immediately when he told me, but it doesn’t really matter because it’s when I have a weekly Exec meeting that I really can’t miss. I call to change, and it’s going to be April. 🙄 Yeah, not an option. So they got me in with her pedi for a “recheck” next Monday, and a PA a few days later for her actual 6m, and DS is pushed out to a different day. I CANT EVEN.

[Mushe]

My baby rolled over (back to belly) yesterday, on her 4m adjusted birthday! I’m not sure if she’s been doing this or belly to back while we’re at work. Our au pair seems to understand that it doesn’t count it mom isn’t there to see it. 😄

Hi all! I've been mia while trying to figure out my baby and her schedule and sleeping, etc. I have a question about Bfing and caffeine. Caffeine doesn't have a noticeable affect on me as far as not being able to sleep after having it, but I'm wondering if it affects her. She had been sort of starting to sleep longer at night, somewhere between 12 and 2 she'll finally go down "for good", aka sleep for 5-6 hours and dream feed and then sleep another 3. The night before last was a disaster though, she barely went down by 1 (was clearly sleepy but fighting it and kept startling awake from 11 til 1) then was up and wide awake from 2-4. I'm wondering if it was because of caffeine from the iced tea I was drinking that night. Yesterday I didn't have any after 4 or 5pm and she was asleep for the night by 12:45. Anyone notice their EBF baby's sleep affected by your drinking caffeine? How long before bedtime do you stop drinking it?

I bet it’s possible but I never noticed an effect on my EBF babies. In fact, DD2 slept (sleeps) like such crap that I actually started to drink coffee for the first time when she was around 6 months old!
