BBC, MMT, and Now TTC a Miracle!!

Misty ~ good luck! Your doctor's confuse me. I thought they were ok with letting you deliver? Well, either way, Good Luck and I can't wait to see her!!

D- Yeah the docs confuse me too because the all have such a different opinion on the matter. But this one felt that a c-sect was best as well. So i agreed. The alternative was coming in on Monday for another check to see if induction was favorable then. I honestly am just exhausted and dont want to drag it out. I really hope i am doing the right thing. Uggg. ((hugs))

I will post later when i can. Luv u all...Me

Misty ~ yeah. If you've had it, then I say go for it. She's 39 weeks so she'll be fine. Good luck. I'll be thinking about you guys!!

Super psyched for you Misty! Can't wait to see pictures of your sweet girl!

Misty- I am so so so excited for you (and a tad bit jealous lol)!!!! I can not wait to see her, yay!!!!

Hey girls ~ still nothing from Misty. I'm hoping all is well and they just forgot about us ;o) I don't have Frank's number so I can't even check in with them.

Mattie ~ girl, you're flying thru this pregnancy!!

Hi girls.......still haven't heard anything from Misty. Will let you know when I do!

I'm getting antsy. We need to see some pictures of this little girl!!

I know. Did you see her FB post. 9 lbs, 10 oz!!! That's a big girl!! I can't wait to see pics, either!

I did! Made my whoo ha hurt!!! I can't wait to hear her birth story either.

Wow! Shoot dang, that is a big baby....go Misty!!

Can you tell I'm sitting around like a lump? What's everyone up to?

Well, on the advice of another military spouse, I had a talk with Jeff today after our first couple's counseling session. I asked him if he would be willing to set a date in the future where we could revisit the discussion of TTC #2. Honestly, I was terrified to even bring it up, but he seemed really open to the idea, and even kind of excited about it. As of now, he said he wants to re-discuss things in June, so that gives me time to get my A1C back to a safe zone and lose some weight too. I just wanted to share with my "sisters"!

Mattie ~ I just cracked up at the "well, shoot dang" Just struck me as funny!

Tara ~ that is awesome! I'm glad you are moving forward and have a plan! We will be TTC in April. Well, after my April AF. I am being selfish for Alexa and not getting pg in March on purpose. I want her to have her own birth month. She already gets kinda ripped off b/c of Christmas.

Here's a little secret, tho ~ I was Oing earlier in the week and I did some calculations and if we would have gotten pg it would have been a November due date. We were THISCLOSE to DTD but I chickened out - lol. I just want my kids at least 2 years apart. Plus, I really don't want to rush Alexa out of her crib, room, etc. So, give me 6 or 7 weeks and I'll be ready. I've even started my additional folic acid. I'm not doing prenatals b/c they make me constipated - lol.

I'm off to bed. Well, I've been in bed. I've been trying to do math problems for school and my freakin head hurts.

Oh ~ 2nd confession: Alexa and I ate a whole box of Girl Scout cookies today

Tara- oh yay. that sounds like a great plan! hmmm....I wonder what you and Denise will have for #2.

Denise- Lol glad to make u laugh. mmm, girl scout cookies! That sounds sooooo good right now. I have been having to most weird cravings. I really wanted to smoke today, yet I have never smoked anything in my life and the smell gives me headaches. I also wanted to smell chlorine on my skin, the way it does after you've been in the pool all day. So weird, I never had anything like this with Mckenna.

Yeah for Misty!
I am SO ready for Summer, forget Spring. I want to go straight to the beach weather baby.

I'm retesting in the morning to make certain it's the most accurate, but I tested tonight and got a BFN. Granted, DH and I aren't trying and in fact are preventing right now...but during my O time we had JUST started BCP and he wasn't that careful with condoms...anyway...

I got my hopes up that since I'm three days into my period week of pills and haven't started AF that maybe...just maybe...

Apparently though...I'm not pregnant, I'm just screwed up and can't even have a normal period.

I just want to bawl...am I overreacting?

Hey ladies! Okay so finally getting on here and posting.

As you all probably know (from FB) Ollie is here. She is super sweet, but if she is unhappy she is going to let you know it, lol. Trey was such a quiet baby, so this was certainly different. Anyways, had the c-sect she was almost 10lbs (glad that i had the section, lol) Its good to be home. I have had soooo much help between hubby, my mom and Frank's mom being here. I havent had to do anything but take care of me and baby. BF'ing is going well, she is an aggressive eater for sure. I have to make sure my nipple is still there afterwards, lol. I missed you all.

((hugs)) Misty

Oh, thanks for all the congrats on FB i appreciate you girls.

Misty ~ I'm glad things are going well and you have tons of help!!! I hope she doesn't take your boobies off when she eats

Hi EOE. I'm getting ready to head up to Pittsburgh for a week and you know that means no computer so I'll chat at you when we get back!!

Have fun in the Pitts!!!

HELLO LOVIES!!!!!!! I'M BAAAAACK!

Just shooting a quick hello to everyone! I should be on here often now, I'll take my work breaks with you all

So just a quick update on me....FINALLY got a job after 10 months of unemployment. Ugh, that was horrible! So now I'm an administrative assistant for an investment firm, and I also help marketing out with graphics. I'll eventually be full time marketing, but for now I assist the owner in his duties and help the other area till they can hire someone to replace me. It's different, but I enjoy it and the owner/partners are extremely nice. Also I was told at my 60 day review that I'm the best employee they have ever hired and given $1 raise! WOOT WOOT!

Also I have to admit that seeing Misty's little pea started up my baby fever. But alas, I think J will be our one and only. I'll be 40 this December so.....and hubby isn't really planning on a #2 Plus I'm pretty emotional because next Friday is going to be 3 years since we lost our little sweet pea

So hope everyone is doing great and can't wait to get back into the groove with my sisters!!!!!! LOVE YOU ALL!

Angie! So glad that you got a job. I felt so sad for your struggle, and was praying the right thing would come along! Time sure has flown, I can't believe how old your peanut is!

Misty- She is beautiful! Congrats Mamma! You and I are certainly in a special club of heavy-weight babies! Isn't it nice to be able to start right in on clothes and normal diapers. No newborn sizes for us!

AFM: Jackson is crawling EVERYWHERE! My life, and the life of Zachary has pretty much been COMPLETELY upended! Zach can no longer play Legos downstairs. And I can no longer rest. Ha! He is FAST too!

Talk to you soon.
Kari

Kari - lol at the "no newborn diapers." Yeah, she went straight into size 1. She's a heavyweight champ for sure. Thanks for the congrats. Yay for Jackson crawling!

Angie - Its good to hear from you sweetie. So glad that you got a gig and everything is working out. lol at baby fever again.

AFM: Everything is going well here. Recovery has been slow and painful, but i am now at about 40% i think. Olivia loves to sleep solid during they day and keep me up at night with her restlessness and noises. Everytime i place her to sleep in the bassinet on her back she wakes up. So out of desperation last night, i put her to sleep on her side, turned her slightly back so she wouldnt plop onto her stomach. It seemed to help. She hates her back. Trey's been adjusting as well as can be expected for a two year old. He loves to hold her, give her kisses, but he doesnt know how to be gentle quite yet, but we are learning.

Hi girls ~ I'm home. Someone shoot me if I ever tell you I'm going to visit up there for 8 days again. Oy. I'm just tired - Alexa slept with me in bed the whole time and man, that girl is horrible to sleep with. I don't know how mom's co-sleep. Oy. And now I feel like I'm getting a cold. The good news is that Alexa's 4th molar and her eye teeth have popped through!!

Hi Angie ~ glad everything is going well! And pssshhht on the 40. Just do it if you want another one But i'm with you on the age thing. I'll be 37 on Sunday - yikes - so that is why we will be TTC #2 in April.

Misty ~ you know, I'm starting to be a believer of if a baby likes to sleep on its belly, then do it. Just make sure she is not overheated. Blow a fan in the room and I think she'll be fine. Oh, and Alexa was NEVER in a newborn size, either. Size 1's from the beginning. However, she's been in 4's since October and I don't see her getting out of them anytime soon.

Kari ~ LOL. Sorry about life as you know it being over! But yay for Jacks!!

Love to you all. I'm going to go get all hopped up on Nyquil.
