TTC Blue Crew Grads

B - I co-slept with all of them till they slept through the night. My first two slept through the night within 2 weeks and if they woke it was only once. We got dd3's reflux under control at 10 wks and she immediately slept through the night. I'm still co-sleeping with Charlie so I actually get some sleep. We tried moving him so his crib and I averaged 4 hours a night and all of those in a rocking chair.

5 - I'm still amazed I heard boy lol I was positive he was a she, I hoped not but was sure I'd hear girl again.

WOW! That's great success with the sleeping thru the night at 2 weeks! I'm just happy with anything earlier than one year :)

Dd1 slept through the first time at 5 days old, I thought my boobs were going to explode lol

I don't know how it happened but she slept last night from 10-5! She nursed and then went back to sleep til 8. I'll take that :) But DD2 slept thru once at 8 weeks. Once. And then not again til 10 months :rofl: So I'm glad I got one night of good sleep (though DD1 got up at 5:30 this am!!!) but I'm not getting my hopes up that we turned a corner here. FX it happens again tonight though :bigsmile:

Omg 10-5, that's awesome!!

I love to co-sleep, too. It is a must when you nurse.

I did my fasting glucose test this morning and it was 61.....wayyyy low they thought it would be around 100). I felt so drizzy. My midwife made me eat some banana bread and bacon before I left because my numbers were so low. I guess I do not have GD and no longer have to worry about high blood sugar. What a waste of time and gas money. Oh well, I am just happy that everything is back to normal.

It seems like my ticker just had 90 days left.....time is going by eay too fast.

Mmmm, WP... banana bread and bacon sounds like a great TTC boy snack, now that you mention it :) Glad things are normalizing!

WP - so glad you don't have gd! 68 days left!!!

I'm 16 weeks today yayyy!

Woohoo!!

We're co-sleeping here too:) Davey will have his last feed about 10pm, then fall asleep in the basket for a nice little stretch, then sneaks in the bed under mum's armpit in the middle of the night, heaven knows what time?:) I think he's gonna grow up a lover of italian food as I just can't shift the onion/garlic odour from under my arms atm lol:oops:

5! Can you believe 16 weeks!! That is absolutely flying by!!!

I hope Girlmom is ok???

Time for private scan LOL

FLava are y'all going to find out or are you team green this time? Can't believe you're 8 weeks already!

Elp- Charlie scoots into my armpit during the night too lol

Flava - yes do tell, green team or finding out?

Girlmom - how's it going hun?

Little man slept for 7 consecutive hours last night! I've already managed to feed 3 of the 4 kids (dd3 is still asleep), pack their lunches and eat breakfast myself. It's shaping up to be a very efficient day!

TTC5, I sooooo believe you are going to hear boy...that was the most boyish nub I've seen on here....I would find out for sure if I had that much confidence in my nub shot

Begonia & 3pinks--> DS2 had unbelievable colic because of a milk protein allergy and he was a nightmare until 8 weeks old, when his issue was diagnosed. He was cranky, miserable, sick after eating but coudln't get enough of the boob, it was a diaster. And of course the bad thought kept popping in my head: "If only this was girl instead, she wouldn't be this fussy, cranky, etc etc." Which is ridiclous to think since his allergy had nothing to do with his gender and just an issue he had. Once we got him fixed up, he was a much better baby, but still I 'd look at him and go.....why couldn't you have been a girl? How terrible, huh? I never had that issue with DS1, though I had longed for a girl with him too, once he was born, I just fully accepted him and thought I could try again. With DS2, I thought constantly about trying again but worried if it was another boy? Then I'd be out of chances to have a daughter....

I'm glad you got some sleep, begonia, and hopefully DD3 will sleep good for you soon. Once we got DS2's mlik allergy problem under control, he started to sleep better, though DS1 slept thru the nite at 6 weeks. DS1 has always been amazing about being well-behaved, except when it comes to a few things. I think what also impacted my feeling about DS2 was the fact that DS1 was such a crazy good baby, the easiest baby ever, that not only was DS2 the wrong gender, he's always been a handful from day 1, and that also made it harder to deal with him....

Wow, sorry for crashing the thread and writing and essay :rofl:

I just love you guys too much on the blue crew to not hop in once in a while!

I don't know what I gonna do . And Im not already 8 weeks Im only 8 weeks!!! so slow...

Any update from girl mom! yay ttc such a great milestone! Got a bump yet!? I will be 32 weeks Sunday!! Wahoooo

LOL I know but where I love there is nowhere that do private gender scans :(

Auroara - crash anytime! Oh the things we think/go through when we have a difficult baby.

Tink - 32 weeks, we need a new belly pic!!

5 - so we have to wait till 20wks?!

B - Charlie actually slept 7+ consecutive hours last night. Like you not holding my breath but it was fantastic!

Yep 3p1b 11 May is my next scan! Ages away lol

Ava and I will be doing our 32 weeks pic tomorrow! Look for it! ahah! Omg So close but still so far away!!

Jen that's awesome!!! Hope he keeps it up! My monkey only went 5 hours but still.... sooooo much better.

Auroara come on over anytime :kiss: Keeping FX for you... when is your scan? Next week?

TTC5: Are you going to find out gender or just tease us?

Jen: Congrats 7 hours is so nice. I have been having leg cramps and getting no sleep. That and the dog that thinks she owns the bed. I kick her out and DH lets her back in....lol.

Begonia: 5 hrs is great, too.

Tink: I agree belly pic!!!

Not much new. Everyone keeps giving me advice on how to go into labor but I still have 10 wks.......I am not ready for the baby yet. Plus older ladies telling me that they know first had that sex and induce labor is just too much info.

LOL to the old lady advice WP! I got that advice (sex to induce) from a PASTOR! Talk about make-me-blush!

And it didn't work anyway :rofl:

It is also DH's brothers birthday ;)

I am thinking we will find out, the curiosity will get the better of us both I can see it now!

Wp where is your belly pic?!! how are you feeling? we are soo close!

5 I can't believe you are 16 weeks already! Seems like just yesterday I said I thought you were preggers when you were constipated. Must feel awesome being pregnant with a boy finally!!

LOL not sure on the boy part but I am loving this pregnancy, so much easier than the girls not being riddled with sickness!!

Im jealous :p

FX yours is a blue bean too Flava. I know we would all love to see that happen for you! You too PoP!

TTC5 : May 11 is less than a month!!! Time will fly by, especially since you feel so good.

Flava: Are you going to have a private scan?

A lady at our church annouced her pregnancy recently. She has 5 boys, I am praying her dreams come true and she has her girl.

Im not sure about private scan or not .Im only 8 weeks everything is so far away. Had spotting twice so we are not even sure this baby is a sticky yet or not. I lost one at 15 weeks so we never know.
I don't know not thinking that far yet I still don't like to be pregnant at all and just feel bad I guess .

i made it to 28 weeks and still going strong! since 25 weeks doctors have been saying anyday now, get ready. but i have proven them wrong by holding out 3 more weeks. having alot of cramping today and the last few days but i got readmitted and was given more magnesium.
so far baby michael is still cooking! i am getting insulin,which sucks. my glucose test was 10 points too high but the steroids are sending my blood sugars through the roof. hopefully they will settle down soon. getting checked again wednesday so i will update then.
can i just say. i love muscle relaxers!!! wow i didn't feel a thing after they gave me those.

YAYYYY! Go Michael, and go YOU too!!!!

thank you i just feel gross right now. im living in a maxi pad because i have no cervix left to hold up anything and im leaking cm and anything else. my breasts are leaking so i also have breast pads on. lots of pressure, lots of cramping. back aches. im just hanging out at a "loose and stretchy 3". i know i want to keep him in as long as i can but the thought of sitting here like this for another 12 weeks is making me crazy.

Girlmom: you will pull through it. I know your leaky but at least he is getting stronger and my not have any time in the NICU thanks to all you are going through.

Flava: Okay when is your first appt of any kind :)

Tink: You are right I need to take a belly pic and then see if I can post it.

This has been a great pregnancy but it is starting to wear on me. Lack of sleep is the worst. I am having leg cramps and getting up to go potty in the middle of the night and then having trouble getting back to sleep. Mostly because if I am not moving the baby is very active and then I can't get to sleep. Ugh, just one of those days that bedtime is just not going to come soon enough.

Oh girlmom, I know it's rough, but WP is right on, each minute makes him grow stronger. You are a super mom as far as I am concerned, in every way!

Wow Tink, you look great!

WP, I am already having trouble sleeping--I really dread the end of pregnancy, it is so hard!

Girlmom--I am so glad you have made it so far!! Keep that baby in there!!
