Lola - so glad you're back in touch. Yeah they did keep it very unsappy, I've cried more at commercials lol I so saw the Julia/baby thing coming. How could you not want to give them your baby, especially after the nail polish thing?
Jabba the Hutt, yeah thats pretty much how I feel, kudos for the losing the lbs. I'm trying to keep my gain at bay. I'm not dieting just not shoveling in as much chocolate as I want to lol
DTD! DTD! DTD!! It can' hurt, right?Quote:

Oh Kris I keep forgetting to post, this is one of the few places in Reno that does optional gender u/s http://www.fetalimagingcenter.net/index.php
It's less then 15 minutes from the Sands so I called them and you won't need any special info/paperwork to get the u/s, just pay the fees which are a bit steep. $150 for 15 min 2D w/dvd or $245 30 min 3D w/dvd.
Sacramento is a huge area with crazy traffic so even a 15 mile drive can take an hour and since you're only there for the day that could take up a huge part of it. I can definitely find you one there but will need an address to find you the closest place :)
Do it tonight! You haven't O'ed yet, right? Go for it! Ibet your temp will go up tomorrow.Quote:

So it's not worth it and I'm not spending more money on another one. I'll just go with that... that it is probably higher than the dip stick reading ;)Quote:

I am definately looking forward to seeing little one again and confirming that everything is ok,babies not the worlds best wiggler lol, but my bump is growing, so maybe just a little lazy chunker on my hands:bigsmile:I think I will be asking who's in there but am so nervous about it, I'll also be interested about the growth as if Iam lucky enough for a little bluey then I have a funny feeling he would go over the 10lb mark, not a nice thought lol!!Quote:

That's not me I always get ewcm and creamy after O. But i don't care anymore.Quote:

We wanted to...DH drinked some coffee and I did bsf. But then DH had to go and rent a movie and let DD1 watch it with us.
I thought it's not a good idea on school day to stay up and so but ok...only the damn movie was so long it ended at midnight and then DH and DD had a fight about some stupid little thing. So he was grumpy and I was so sleepy and we went to sleep.
Maybe it was better this way maybe not ...can't change it now. And I still not sure I O'd yesterday or earlier. Also maybe after midnight it would have been to late anyway.
We tried twice on the days i had the most ewcm now we wait and see.
ELP- hope you right and if I get a bfp it's a boy. You did it days before O too and look like a boy for you.
We are done no matter what.
I have a Q so how soon after a +opk do we O? Just because Im looking at my chart and I got a +opk on cd 16 early morning but did not test before that .I may had got one on cd15 at night too if I test because the same was the month before...but did not test so don't know.(it was negative on cd17 night)
Anyway but Im sure FF will put my O to cd 18 or maybe 19 .
Just trying to make sense out of this month here..but I don't think i can.
Bec- you may just need to calibrate your Hanna, mine had issues when it needed calibration. There are lots of household items you can use, distiller water (pH of 7) can be used to set the high end and tomato juice (pH of 4.2) for the low end.
Flava- Egg drops 24-48 hrs after the positive. FX!
Yep, I agree with this totally!Quote:

ELP, so excited for you! We will be waiting by the computer on Tuesday, LOL!
3P1B, I totally saw the adoption thing coming also....they wouldn't have kept that chick on there so long if not. But what made me cry was her face when she was walking away from telling them, which is the same thing I would do. There are so many babies on shows right now....then this Up All Night one with the birth tonight. Lord.
ELP, just a few more days! Exciting!
Lola, that is awesome about your weight loss. Lucky!! I wish the boy diet was the skinny diet! Someone at the grocery store yesterday looked at my kids, then looked at my fat tummy, and said, "Ah, ready for the next one?" WTF? Seriously, I look 4 months pregnant, but strangers should NOT be asking about my belly!!
Flava, I hope you get a BFP! You sound really down... I'm sorry. I hope this works out for you.
Hobber- im not down it just sucks that this month is messed up to and Im not sure about the O day.
I also look pregnant and I hate it so actually im looking forward to loose all this fat if I get a bfn.
All my small clothes are in boxes now and I really want to put them on again.
Lola-ooh yeah her face was great. There are a lot of baby shows on right now, but you're sensative every baby these days. After my m/c last year it seemed like every woman in every store was either pregnant or toting a brand new one, sucked.
Hobber- omg I agree, don't comment on my gut till I do lol
I'm with ya flava, I miss my skinny clothes!
Flava see what your temps do but I got a feeling you o'd CD 18..
Jeez, what is with people and the pregnant comments? I was wearing an empire dress at my last show and one of the volunteers (who I hate and is a B) says, "Oh, are you expecting?" I shot her an eat poo look and was like, nope, just gained a bunch of weight trying to get pregnant. She almost died.
Omg Lola I hate that and the opposite. You feel like you look obviously preg and someone says oh are you I can't even tell. :mad:
lol that happened to me when I was pregnant with #2, A family friend said to me so when is the next one. I said oh in about 3 months. I was 6 months pregnant but they couldn't tell the difference cause I had put on 20kg when preg with #1 and didn't lose it all before falling pregnant with #2Quote:

love being a mommy-welcome!:celebrate:
Hope you post here we need new members this forum is very slow...
I know, I will have to do the same thing if we have months and months of no luck, which is very likely. I can't yet though, because I would miss you all! I hope you caught the eggie, Flava, I think you have an excellent chance as well. CD18 looks like the day! And even midnight is good timing, I think.Quote:

Bec- yep that sounds like a faulty probe, the company I got mine from sent me a replacement probe for free.
Flava- my fingers are still crossed for you!
Lola - see I'm the same show early and huge! Don't worry I'll be taking/posing a new pic today. 24 weeks already, holy cow!
So ladies I want your feedback. My BFF's baby that was born in July isn't gaining weight. She was born at 9lbs 1 oz and at three months she's 10lbs 4oz. Her/my pediatrician started with supplemented bottles but last week moved her to full formula bottles 3x a day. She only feeds her every 3-4 hrs and has even asked me to try to stretch the milk she gives me because she's having trouble keeping up (she's pumping). We've had numerous conversations about nutrition (her milk has almost no fat) I've told her if in doubt give the kid a boob but she still only feeds once the baby if she is really upset and since she's often quite hungry she's a very difficult, very fussy baby. Well some days I only watch her for an hour or so but days like today and tomorrow I have her for 5-6 hrs and have only been given enough milk to make 1 formula/milk bottle. On these long day I've been sneaking in extra straight formula bottles and have had a content easy going baby. My friend only wants straight bottles in an emergency but I feel like a hungry baby and mom not returning for 2 hrs to be just that. So here's my question, should I tell her I'm doing it, keep it my innocent little secret or should I respect her wishes and stop doing it.
It's always the right thing to be honest, so I would explain to her why I did it. Is the baby sleeping at night? I would probably play the 'she will sleep better if you cluster feed her at night' card and see if you can get her to feed her more, or tell her she'll be more enjoyable. Also, telling her that if she doesn't feed her enough, she won't develop right, could be a good motivation to feed the kid. My MIL has a daycare and she has moms that do that kind of stuff, but she always says she does what she thinks is best for the child, and she will deal with the parent. On her watch, she isn't going to let any child be hungry! GL. I know that's really hard!!
So DH has been gone 5 days and it just happened to be right over my ovulation day. Would anyone mind looking at my chart and let me know what you think about BDing tonight? My first OPK+was two days ago, but when you look at my previous chart, we BDed 12-18 hours after my first positive last month and still didn't get pregnant. The temps go up, but really they don't go above 97.5 until like 3 days after my first pos. I have barely any CM so it's hard to know if it's shifted. Any advice would be appreciated. I don't want to be in the girl zone, but we've had such problems getting pregnant, I am wondering if we are dtd too early?? I still haven't gotten the Fertility Friend crosshairs.
Thanks, much! My Ovulation Chart
