Alexis, so sorry this wasn't your month. FX for next time.

3Pink, love those pictures, they are so good.

Y'all move fast! Hard me to keep up with everybody since I'm working this week.

[hope.ful]

How much Mucinex/Robitussin do you ladies take? I was trying to do 1200/day AF-O

Lola, you're such a sweetie! I am still hurting but getting better!

GL to all those in the 2ww!

Hi ladies, i'm fine. Thanks for asking about me Begonia. I have my 12wk scan on Mon so kinda of nervous but will keep you posted, hope all's well

[begonia]

Thanks for popping in Baby, glad you're OK! Keep us posted; hope the scan goes well and you see your little one tucked in there and growing just perfectly.

Jen, how you doin' this morning? I hope you got some sleep but wouldn't be surprised if it was a restless night. Hope the appointment today is great!

Hope.ful I think 1200 is just right!

3pnb : You ar one strong lady to have gone threw all that, I hope you got some rest last night. Can't wait to hear about you appt today. I LOVE the photos!!! We talked about doing black and white with the next pg...it can get pricey though.

Begonia: We would really like to have another boy, but I feel the same as you (and most of the people on here) as long as the baby is healthy....we will be happy. I do love all the girly accessories that go with them.

I got up at 5am this morning and was heading to the bathroom when DH said " How was your temp today." I said, "It is still just 98.0". He just laughed and said, "If it gets much higher I would think your sick!!!" That is exactly why I normally DO NOT temp after I get my O....I just get too obsessed witht he temp going up. Anyway, no AF yet, so if she stays away until the AM I will be testing again.

For the pg ladies that are not finding out gender..... Are you going to bring a boy and girl outfit to the hospital? Or gender neutral?

[3Pink1Blue]

Daisy- thanks, I love them

Jane- did you test?!

Baby- yay for 12 weeks scan!

WP- thanks Hun, it was quite an ordeal. I hate bringing it back up but I kinda wanted you new ladies to understand the depths of my panic.
About gender, I'll be bringing a boy and a girl outfit.

Well ladies, last night had less sleep then I would have liked but no drama! Feeling kinda numb now, hoping my u/s eases my mind. I'll pop back in later after thhe appt.

3pnb, hope you have a great appt today! You are doing just fine, lady. I love your pics, they are adorable! You get a big moster belly like I do LOL. A couple of times, shop owners literally nervously mentioned that they hoped I didn't go into labor in their store. I kindly replied I hoped not either since I was only 7 months. I will try to scan mine from DD2 in, they were artsy and black and white, some of them with me nude! (But like you, the photog was a good girlfriend!). I never did any with #1, we were too poor back then. I hardly had any cute professional pics done of her except the cheesy Picture People/Sears ones, and I have ALL of these awesome artsy ones of DD2.....oh well. I think most people do the opposite and go overboard with pics of the first, then the next ones come along and you are too busy to think about taking pics!

Hiya Babydes, I am excited for your appt too! xxoo

Hopeful, you can take 400mg 3x a day, I think that is kinda the max anyway....I am at the opposite end of the spectrum with the guifanesin, I only took one about an hour before dtd, but I had ewcm this time before I even took it. Glad you are feeling better!

WP, if I end up first of all having a baby anytime, and secondly not finding out, I would probably just bring something neutral, even just whites. But, I doubt I will be able to not find out since my DH and the girls have already assured me they will want to know. I just can't go against the democracy. You know what could be cute, though, is if you bought two outfits and kept the tags on, then you could return the other one later on. Of course, that would be bittersweet for me if I had to return the boy outfit. Ugh, these emotions about all of this are just hard!

As for me, I am sitting at my desk with my pants unbuttoned and a longer blouse hanging over it. I actually LOOK pregnant already. I really need to graduate to bigger pants, which makes me want to barf a little. I used to be a size 4/6. Now I am bursting out of a 10. FX I can just go on and graduate to my maternity pants in a few weeks. How sad is that? What preggos here are already in maternity and when did you start wearing them?

I had a little temp dip this morning although I did have to wake 45 minutes earlier......6dpo. Getting restless. Having a sinking feeling that I am going to feel fairly depressed if this is a bfn, simply because I took so many healthy supps for the past 3 months on a break AND I took Clomid. But trying to remain positive. My boobs felt less sore this morning, which made me kinda sink. You all know what I mean. WHY am I obsessing about symptoms? Someone please slap me, because I know better than that!

lola - oh yeah I get a huge belly and I run late, terrifies people to look at me and hear I was due a few days ago lol here's me in 2007 40wks 2dys and 4 days before dd3 was bornAttachment 492
Ironically my bff does work at sears but you'd never know it from my pics, she's way to good for them lol
I moved into my maternity pants almost immediately, my reg pants were already a bit tight and once the nausea set in I couldn't handle them anymore.
As far as outfits go, recruit a good friend to return the unused one and spare yourself the hassle and emotions.
