Hey ladies, just got back home. My little guy isn't on oxygen anymore. He has the little bar under his nose still but it's just flowing room air. I'm hoping they'll totally take it off tomorrow and maybe he can come home on Monday. I'm pissed because I've been pumping and bottle feeding him. I thought I had to, nobody bothered to tell me I could actually breastfeed so I'm going to try that in the morning. ↑
Email me so I can share pictures lyddlkATaol.com. He'll still have the little oxygen thing taped to his nose but hopefully i can take some more tomorrow without it ↑
Stop making me post to myself! LOL well, no more little oxygen bar under his nose. I wasn't able to get any pictures today though because we had a tough time getting him to wake up to eat so it wasn't on my mind. He's got a little bit of jaundice, most newborns do and they just don't do anything for full term babies since it almost always goes away in a week or two, but since he's in the nicu they have to treat it so there's a little green light underneath his back. Now that he has no oxygen bar they have to watch him for 48 hours and he can come home so it should monday or tuesday for sure. ↑
Guess who came home at 4 today!! :D my lil man is sleeping in his own bassinette right now snuggled in a little blanket with footballs and stars on it. Kalysa's fourth birthday is also today so it's been a little hectic. We woke her up singing happy birthday and she popped outta bed so fast with the biggest grin. She got lots of presents and we went to play at chuck e cheese. Dh went to see my boo boo (who he's decided to call ace for some reason) at 5am and they said he should be home tuesday. Since I was spending the day with kalysa I planned on going to see him that afternoon but I called to check on him around 123O and they said he could come home in a few hours. Poor little guy got circumcized today :( They said it looks really good but it looks aweful to me.....he doesn't seem to notice at all though. Did caleb have that done babybrain? How long before it doesn't look so bad and heals? This is the third day I've been on here talking to myself so somebody better get their ass back! ↑
My ass is back!!! LOL! KAY! OMG!!!! I am so sorry you were posting to yourself. Our internet was out of order for a few days and I was so hurt that I couldn't come on to wish my girlies a HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!! But I am back in action kay so no more worries! Aww! Congrats on "Ace" coming home!! I know that you are glad to have him home! I can't wait to look at the pics!!! How is Kalysa taking in sisterhood? Sounds like she had a good birthday!!! Well, once again girlie I am so sorry you were left to hold down thread by your lonesome. Dh was laughing at me b/c I really threw a fit because I couldn't use the internet. My mom's bday was on sunday-so we went home to surprise her and went to church with her and stuff. She was so happy! Well...Happy Belated Mother's Day to my girlies! I was so emotional on Mother's day! I cried most of the day!! happy tears of course...but I was just so emotional...I guess b/c i am so grateful to still have my mom...my dad passed away when I was 17....so mothers day and fathers day are very emotional for me! Well, enough about me....Babybrain!! how are you doing hunny!?! Has the sleep fairy come to visit yet? If not, I will put a call in for her to come soon! Pammie! Pepper! How are my mommies to be doing? You girlies will be mommies soon! It is amazing how quickly the time has gone by. Well, I am hoping for a bfp this month as usual...but I don't really have any unusual symptoms so it is hard to tell if anything is "different". So I am just praying that it happens! send some babydust and hcg pee this way asap!!!! You know, I don't even know where I am in my cycle??!! I need to check mymonthlycycles to see when af is NOT going to show so that I know when I can test! But in the meantime send lots of babydust babyjuice whatever will help me get preggers this month!!! heehee! Luv Luvs U girlies!!!! ↑
Hey girlie! I was getting so lonely! I have a few minutes to myself while Kalysa eats and my boo boo is knocked out. I'm not so sleep deprived that I can sleep during the day yet, but I'm sure it will kick in soon. He's only been at home one night so I'm able to function on the few hours I got. I'm just all emotional in general so don't feel bad. I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Maybe you can get a late Mother's Day gift :D It must be nice not to know where you are in your cycle for once! I'm deffinately not looking forward to having mine back. I was on depo for 2 years and been off for 2 years so I'm gonna see if I can get back on it or not. I will pass my ovulating on to you for the time. Everybody else needs to follow luvs example and check in! ↑
Hey kay!! OMG! I need to go and look at the baby pictures- my internet still acts up at times- and i really need it to work so that I can work from home today. I am so nauseas and I really don't feel like being around a whole bunch of people. Anyways...I have one more week in my 2ww. I am so numb nowadays when it comes to the 2ww. I am so sick and tired of being disappointed, so i don't even get excited towards the end anymore. But i am hoping that since I am concentrating on other things that maybe my bfp will surprise me! Well, let me go and look at those baby pics--i 'll be bacK!! ↑
I'd love to be able to work from home. It'd probably be hard to do with a 4 year old running around and a newborn....even with dh home. He's next door playing super smash brothers on the neighbor's wii....I don't know why he doesn't just buy the game for ours. I'd try to keep ignorning the 2ww. The faster it goes the better but I know it's hard to not think about. Both my kids are asleep....well one is asleep and the other is in bed but same difference! ↑
Kay! What a handsome little man you have there!! You and babybrain have heatbreakers on your hands! Maybe I will have a girl first so that she can tag one of your little guys!!! Well, I can't chat very long, I am at the office today cause I have loads of work to get done! But I just wanted to stop in to check on everyone! And Hey!! Kay and I would like to hear from the rest of you girlies!!!! Get here and check in or else!!! Dang it Beavis!!! Just kidding LOL!--I know you girls are probably busy--just know we are thinkin boutcha!!! Babydust for Luv! Sleepydust -happydust for Kay and Babybrain and happydust and healthydust for Pammie, Pepper and Applejax!!! BTW---the 2WW SUCKS!--sorry just a vent!!! ↑
Thank you! I know it sucks, but at least right now it's a downward slide. Only 6 more days right? I blew my tire out this morning. I was going to get us breakfast and hit a pothole. It bent the rim so I have to buy one before I can get a new tire. My daughter is in the other room singing about it. I think I'm gonna try to head to bed a bit earlier tonight. Hubby got up with him most of the night because he had yesterday off and I still didn't get much sleep. ↑
My little guy is so sleepy right now he didn't even want to eat. He stayed up for about and hour and a half twice today and I think it wore him out. It's the first time he's actually stayed awake. He usually wakes up just enough to eat then goes right back down. I wish I was able to sleep as much as he does for a day! ↑

So how are the new babies? How are you doing LUV?
The nursery is done...check out the pics on my myspace.
OH...and I DID pass the 3 hour GD test! YAY ↑
Peek-a-boo!!!!!!! Hello my ladies. I'm Back!! I'm so very sorry I haven't been here to check in. I've been busy busy busy. With going back to work for a few days and week and having a new baby, I don't have much time to do anything anymore. I'm so glad to be back. How is everyone? LOL Luv, I can't believe you don't know what cd you're on. That's actually a good thing. That lets me know that you have been more relaxed about it than usual. That's fantastic. Keep a clear head girlie and let God work. How have you been girlie?! I've missed you guys sooo much. Two down and two to go. Kay has finally had her beautiful baby. He is sooooo adorable. I'm not surprised because she's beautiful too. Cool nickname DH gave him. Kaleb (KJ) is doing just fine.He's getting so big. OMG and heavy. My mom calls him a big potatoe. LOL Its amazing that he'll be two months soon. Time is already flying :-( DD is such a great big sis. When we're riding in the car, she takes such good care of him because I can't turn around. She gives him his pacifier when he cries and rubs his head and he calms down. Its so great to see them together. Anyways................Applejax, Pammie, and Pepper. What's up with you guys. The end is near. We can't wait to see your babies. Geez, all of these 2008 babies! I'm just pleased to be a part of it all. I really don't know what to say right now. Just really interested in hearing from you girls. Plus, I gotta go. I'm holding porky pig as we speak and he's hungry so I'll wait to hear from you guys before I go any further. Luv you girls! ↑
I can't believe he's almost 2 months already! How much does he weigh? I'll see how much my little light weight is tomorrow. Since my daughter was almost 9 pounds he seems so small to me. He's got an appointment at 83O then I have to find a place that has a rim for my car, get a new tire put on, then I have an appointment to have my incision checked at 3. It doesn't sound like much, but even running one errand right now seems like a lot to do. Luv - your 2ww is almost over! Pam and pepper, come let us know how those little ones are growing. ↑
hey girlies! how is everyone? I am feeling like crap these days. The time is near for af or bfp and my body is definately telling me that one or the other is coming. I have been having LOTS of sharp pains and the usual endo complications. It is just so frustrating b/c I can't really take anything that helps the pain. I don't like taking my strong pain meds unless I really have to. Sorry I was MIA for a few days. I had to go to Atlanta, GA for my friends bridal shower. I am her Matron of Honor, so needless to say I had a very busy weekend. Hey, I really need to go and get me some grub...so I am going to go and eat and I'll be back! So come and chat with me okay!!! (in about an hour)! ↑
Ok I think it's been about an hour so come back! I don't like pain meds either.....if it's over the counter I'll pop it in a heartbeat LOL but anything stronger than that I just feel weary of. I think it's probably because the first time I had anything was vicodin from the dentist and it made me horribly sick. I only used the little morphine drip pump thing after my c-section when I wanted to sleep. They said I could go home after 2 days if I wanted to because I wasn't really taking much of anything for pain so they weren't really doing anything for me. I wouldn't take anything while I was in labor either. I'm wierd. I did the dumbest things earlier! I have these johnsons washcloths that have soap in them and you just dip them in water. Well I gave my son a spongebath and had filled a cup up with warm water. Later I refilled his wipes and right after I went to take a motrin. I thought I'd picked up my cup of water and didn't think anything when I smelled soap because I thought it was just the scent of the wipes on my hand. I swallow pills fast with a mouth full of water so it went down before I had the chance to spit it out. It was so gross! ↑
Ok luv, I'm prepared to kick af's ass to keep her from coming tomorrow! It is tomorrow right? I went shopping today and got 3 shirts from bcbg :D I can fit them now and they look good, and they'll look even better later once my little belly goes down a bit more. I'm so excited to feel like I look 'nice' again and not some bum in sweatpants haha. ↑
How's everyone? My dr appointment went well today. She's measuring right on at 29 weeks. She's still head down. She's facing my right side so her spine is facing out on the left. The dr said she's totally on the left side and when she does the us on the right side, you can't see the baby at all. lol THis makes sense since I never feel her kicking by my ribs on the right, but I do on the left. Her movement have seemed less punchy, but the dr said that's normal because she's running out of room. That's about it!! :) ↑
hey!!! Arrrggghhh! I tried to get back the other night but my internet was out again!!!! Sorry!! But I am glad to hear that you are ready to kick some ass kay!!!! Once again, i don't feel any different....so I don't know what to think! ugghhhh!!! Kay! sorry about the shot of soapy water. I bet that was pretty gross! How much sleep have you been able to steal at night? You are breastfeeding right? how is that going? Babybrain!!! how are you darling? How is your handsome fellow? WOW!!! You are soooooooo busy these days! I predict that you are going to need weekly visits from the sleep fairy here soon! Pepper! OMG! I am so glad to hear that your appointment went well! I can't believe that you and Pammie are so close to being mommies already! Time has really flown by! I need to go check out the new pics on myspace! Well, Af was officially due today, but she hasn't come yet......I have been having lots of sharp stabbing pains though within the last week...so could be the prelude to af. Well, I will keep you girlies posted...I am going to take a nap...and I will check in later...well that is if my internet likes me or not....luv u girls!!!! ↑
Hey girlie! Well the day is almost over and I hope af hasn't reared her ugly head! I haven't seen you mention having any spotting, and it seems like you usually start that a couple days before right? And I believe last month she came a day early so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I'm sleeping ok, deffinately not as much as I'd like too but enough so I don't feel like crap all the time. Ace is just sitting in his boppy hanging out, looking around. God I love him, he's such a good baby. I'm sorta breastfeeding. I'll do it some at night and a little through the day, but I mostly pump and give it to him in a bottle. Pepper - good to hear your appointment went well. My little guy was always on the right side and head down pretty much my entire pregnancy. You'll still feel her move just as much, but it'll be more like rolls, pushes, and presses rather than kicks and jabs.....and other times your entire stomach will move and jump all around lol. ↑
Luuuv did af stay away? Have you tested? I think I may have fractured my big toe so I don't know how good at ass kicking I'll be if I had to! I'm in a pretty crappy mood though so I still don't think she wants to mess with me. I got an hour of sleep last night, I don't know why I couldn't go back to sleep but I just woke up from a 2 hour nap. I blew my tire out on a pothole the other day, damaged the rim, had to have it towed so total that cost about $170....all just for trying to get a $4 breakfast from mcdonalds and hitting a pothole! Anyway the walmart guy said my back tires were wobbly and that I should take it in somewhere to have it looked at. Well all the bs wrong with it right now is gonna run me about 900 and I have about 300 of shit I need done for the front breaks. It's all pretty much normal wear and tear, I don't have a car payment and my car is nearing the 100,000 mile mark. My transmission went on my last car then. I figure I have 1200 worth of work....over a year that's a hundred dollars a month towards a car payment plus whatever else goes wrong with it. I've probably put that much into the damn thing in the past several months....so the way I look at it it's like I've been paying 200 a month for my car. I'm a bit weary to have all this stuff done to it and risk something else going wrong or have it be the transmission or engine. It doesn't seem worth it. I dunno, what do you guys think? Should I just suck and up and fix it, or look for something newer? I think it might be less stressful to have a monthly payment than keep being told I have to dish out almost $1000 all at once each time something goes wrong with it. ↑
Hey hey hey!!! NO AF! NO AF! OMG! NO AF! I am not getting my hopes up though, I took a dollar store hpt yesterday and it was BFN...so I am going to wait until sunday or monday to test again. You are right, Kay!!! I normally have spotting a few days before and there is no spotting here!!!!! I have been sorta crampy but not very much. Just alot of sharp stabbing pains...oh and leg pain. Af could have showed as early as Monday and as late as today!!! I am trying so hard not to think about it...I am scared that if I think about too much that af is going to rear her ugly head! I am so ready for this emotional roller coaster to be over!!! Although I will probably ride another one once I get preggers!!! LOL! Aww! Kay! It sounds like Ace is definately enjoying his new scenery! I hope that my baby has my husband's personality--he is layed back and mild tempered...I am a firecracker as dh calls me! LOL! Pepper! Your baby room is adorable! I like the froggies!! Pammie! how r u feelin? Ready for the baby to come I am sure! Babybrain!! what's happenin girlie! Okay girls I need the biggest, most huggest bottle of baby dust and hcg pee you girlies can send!!! Oh and package a can of whoop ass for AF!!!! Preeeciate it! Luv u girls!!!!! ↑
yea!!!!! kay!!!!! we were typing at the same time i think!!! hey I had a Ford car that was like that--it was something going on with it every other month!!! I really don't care for Ford's for that reason...but cars like hondas, nissans, toyotas are good cars even after the mileage is close to or over 100,000 mi. So...if you have a car that has a good reputation..it may be worth investing in it...but if it is a FORD I would definately invest in something else!!! ↑
Haha that's funny because I think the guy wants to talk me into get a fusion....I can't get financed in my name till I go back to work though......I feel discriminated against LOL I guess because I'm on disability they want to make sure I actually go back to work. I kinda chuckled when you said you were ready for the emotion rollercoaster to be over.....it never ends! You're deffinately getting some good training in though so I know you'll handle it well. I don't know how good the dollar store tests are at early testing so I'm crossing my fingers for you mama!! I'm sending the baby fairy over to sprinkle dust on you.....and it better be worth the while because she's getting paid overtime! ↑
LOL! thanks for the baby fairy! Since she is working overtime that should really be a good sign for me! Now, I could be wrong about the Ford cars....I had a 96 Ford Contour....maybe Ford cars are made better these days. It won't hurt to have a new car for the new baby!!! LOL! ↑
My first car was a hyundai and they were crappy when they first came out but now I hear they're made better and are pretty decent cars. I want babybrains charger :D LOL ↑
Well guess who showed up at 5:30 am this morning. Yes.....the AF witch has done it again!!!!! Arrggghhh!! I have been so angry, that I can't even cry. But I am pissed. I told dh that I think I want to find a RE and get on some clomid or something. I have got to do something b/c I can't go on hurting like this every month. I am in so much pain right now!!!!!! Well, please keep me in your prayers girlies! I really don't know what to think about my situation b/c part of me feels like since i have no insurance ( b/c dh lost his job), I am starting grad school in August... that maybe God is telling me that it is just not my time yet. On the other hand, I am afraid to wait any longer ttc, b/c of the severity of my endo. It's weird to me how some months I feel like I can handle it when I get af instead of bfp...but like this time I am really angry and depressed. Dh and I both need a vacation, so I may try to plan somewhere for us to go within the next month. Our wedding anniversary is on the 28th of this month, but i doubt we will get to go out of town. Well anyways, I just needed to vent with my girlies! Thanks for listening...or reading I should say! LOL! Luv u girls! ↑
>:( Even I got mad when I read that! I saw the last post was recent and I knew it was gonna be from you. I can't believe she tried to show up UNfashionably late! I think God can be a comedian.....so just as you have no insurance and start grad school you'll get your bfp and he can say "well I gave you what you asked for, you just didnt say when" LOL for some reason things always seem to work like that. You do whatever you think it takes and are comfortable with to get preggy. Trust me, even after you are pregnant you have to make decesions to do or take things you really don't want to. It's always gonna be like you gotta do what you gotta do....just like once that baby gets here you'll feel horrible when they get shots but you know it's for the best. You guys deserve a little to yourself. I know it's not a vacation vacation but maybe on the weekend or something you could get a really nice hotel sweet and have sort of a pretend mini getaway. We did that once and it was fun. ↑
Kay, that is a great idea!!! I know the hotel that we could go to too!! I am also going to get us a couple's massage. You know, it is funny b/c i told dh that i will probably get pregnant once I start grad school in August or September. Although I wish I could be preggers like yesterday, if i conceive in August or September then I would be due in the summer time which would work out with me being in school and all....so even though I am totally bummed, I do realize that God knows what is best and I just need to trust him. I think I am going to get dh that over the counter sperm analysis kit from walgreens next month. I wonder how accurate it is???? anyways...what is Ace doing now? What about Kaleb, babybrain? sleeping,eating and pooping right? LOL! ↑
