TTC Girl - January 2012

[auroara78]

Mocha, yeah I totally understand....

My mom and I are close, and I confide in everything to her. I think you hit the nail on the head squarely--her issue is me. She doesn't want to see me suffer, and we've had conversations before where she's like..."you were so upset that Evan was a boy...what would you do it again?" My answer is always, "I will love and take care of him. He's still my child." She just worries about me getting my heart broken, but I have always wanted more than 2 kids, and I'm hoping for a girl, but I really want at least 3, so that's why it makes sense for us to try again.

Jen, thanks for asking about husband's new day job! It's going alright...he's been a little pokey about laundry and dishes; he says he needs some time to get "settled" into his new job, so I'm trying to let him be and not "hover" over him. I just don't like coming home to a sink of dishes when he's been home all day, but he's only been working for a week, and he's trying to catch up on everything, so I'm going to cut him a break for a little bit and just watch, and not crititize.

He told me last night that he thinks I'm pregnant, and he thinks he knows when it happened, (the last time, about 3 days after I was supposed to O) but he won't disclose why he thinks that. I said "why do you say that???" and he just shrugs. Maybe when we had sex the other day and I so wasn't in the mood it got him thinking something was wrong? I've been in a bad mood all week, but not a depression pms-y mood, just in a "I wanna strangle" someone mood.

The stupid last test in the box beckons me, and I may break down and test over the weekend, just because I don't think I can wait until Tuesday now. I was FINE until hubby said that comment. Not to mention this older black lady at my work said the creepiest thing to me yesterday, she said, "I dreamed somebody died. Someone in this building is pregnant. I need to find out who." The crazy thing is she fixed her eyes on me for a long moment and my cheeks actually burned bright red.

I haven't told ANYONE at work about us TTC'ing, just have mentioned that fact that eventually "one day" I'd like to have a 3rd. Isn't that strange?

Auroara that is a crazy story my mom just out of no where said she thought I would have another baby soon and then asked me if there was any possibility I was pregnant then and that was like a few days before I found out. Also before I found out I wanted to strangle everyone actually I still kind of feel that way do that definitely could be a good sign!

Auroara, Jamie is right...it could be a sign... BTW, when I was preg last time, I felt like I wanted to strangle someone pretty much 24/7 (which is totally not me!!! )...never had that w/my boy pregnancies and was always so weepy/happy and puking up my guts w/them, lol! I'm not saying it's a girl sign but just thought I'd share.

Being a SAHM is HARD work so give your hubbie an extra little squeeze tonight... I really hope you're preggers too...I want to see every last one of us on this thread preggo pronto!!!

Wow, you girls can chat.......

Hello to all those new to the thread, Looking forward to getting to 'know' you!

Mocha, I am so fricking excited for you and have everything crossed for you and your September baby!

Lemon, sorry about the BFN. It is so hard to see then when you think you are pregnant (I thought I was preggers in December, then got a BFN). It will happen, be patient and try not to stress about it.

OOTB, Looks like we are going for the January attempt together, I am just waiting for AF to arrive (prob Tuesday), then the countdown can begin. We didn't DTD last month so know I am not pregnant - I am kind of regretting that decision as I want a baby really bad, but I really think only boys are made on a French holiday diet!!!

Dannikins, when is your gender scan?

Sorry to everything else I have missed - I have just read 32 pages in one go so can't remember it all! xx

[Jamie86]

OOTB I hope it is a girl sign for me! DH said if this one is a girl we won't need to get an U/S for any other babies we may have because he will know if I'm being mean it is a girl lol!

Don't regret your decision. I think it was a good one. I think lots of people would give anything for a French holiday (including myself...that's where dh and I honeymooned...sigh) , and if you'd been stressed about trying to follow the diet and sway while you were there it would have ruined your trip. You then might have had regrets if you'd gotten pregnant and would have been worried that you didn't do the best sway you could.

I just know you'll get your pink BFP soon!

I think you made the best decision b/c you probably would have had regrets...I know I would have (but I can't help myself around all those pastries and fromage!) On to January...hoping we both get it this time! My cycles are still strange so I'm not sure when I'll O...All I know is that AF is DONE...

[Out of the Blue]

AF took her sweet time to show up...but, here we go...cd 1 (two days late!!!).

Why do people take aspirin? Can you get baby aspirin in Canada? I have been looking for it. What is the recommended dosage?

I just saw this... I'm so sorry... I'm glad that at least you can move on.

[Out of the Blue]

OOTB looks like are plans are pretty similar. My cycles are crazy too and i should be O somewhere along the 10-21st of Jan.

YAY! Looks like there are a few of us set to O around the same time...I'll take once Oct. baby, please...and make her PINK!!!

[Mochagirl]

October babies are the best. I know, cause I'm one of them I'd like to point out that my Mom had 3 boys before me and then when her October baby came along it was a girl. I think it will be a lucky month for all of you!
