TTC BOY November Chit Chat Thread - All welcome!!

[LolaInLove]

I guess I need to move out of this boy thread, might be back if Sarah wants to try for a boy

Aww, we don't want you to, but if you feel like you need to......I hope you are doing ok.....I know what you mean about only baby and hoping it's a boy. I think a lot of us are working on our last and feel the same way, it's a boy now or never. BUT your baby girl is ADORABLE already and she is going to be super awesome! Most important thing is that you are blessed with a healthy beautiful baby!

Hi all, so the day after DTD the temp died during taking my temp it got up to 36.6 before dying. I decided to just put this in today anyway and FF has put me at 3dpo smack back on O we DTD. I hope this timing is ok!!

PERFECT!!! FXFXFXFX

I just worked out if I don't attempt this month my next O date is New Years eve

FUN! We conceived on NYE last year (it was my 1st m/c, not to be depressing), but hopefully you will have a sticky bean!

Kris: Oh, I love the pic of her all snug inside you.....how sweet!!!! I am sure the whole donor thing was very hard to get all lined up....what a miracle to get preggo.

Lola: Not sure if we will deliver at the hospital or home....whatever we feel led to do. We bought the doppler when preg with child #5 and used it more that time, but with #6 I only used it a couple times. We lent it to someone and they used it several times a day....it crackles and turns off on it's own now. But, still works. We tried last night, but didn't find the h/b. It is really hard at 8wks, because you have to get it just right. But, DH is great at it and we will try again tonight. Oh, and I do not have a neti pot. I have tried to buy one several times and it grosses DH out....he just needs to get over it.

I love checking in on all you guys and can't wait to see all the BFP this month!!!

[WashingtonPromise]

Oh, I forgot.....

Lola: DH is taking me to see the Nutcracker this year!!!! I am so excited. Should I dress up?

[LolaInLove]

Oh FUN, WP! You will have a blast! Yes, it is an excellent reason to get gussied up and have a nice dinner beforehand. Are you bringing kids or is it date night? I have the best memories of going to see the Nutcracker in Houston when I was a child. It was our family tradition, and kind of kicked off Christmas for us. Now, I get to produce one and watch my DH and my girls (who auditioned and got some coveted children's roles) in it. The Nutcracker is a very special production for me, very near and dear to my heart. The music is so classic and beautiful, and it just makes you freaking happy at the end. Are you going to Atlanta Ballet?

You should DEFINITELY get a netti pot....my DH thinks it's gross also, but I just do it in the bathroom over the sink with the door closed. Seriously, it will give you such relief with a cold, and naturally! And you may find you really like using it throughout the year also, esp. with working on the farm and getting dirt/dust in your nose. They are cheap and you can buy saline packet refills or just make your own, too, with warm salt water. It is my saving grace when pg and sick!

Oh WP you will have so much fun! Enjoy!

Lola when I was a girl my mom and her best friends always got dressed up and dressed their girls up for a luncheon and matinee of The Nutcracker - it was such a highlight of my year. It's exciting that your girls are in it!

I'm feeling strange right now... some girlfriends who had babies several months before Honor are pg again and it makes me wistful, but we're SO not ready yet. I had a dream that I was pg with a baby boy last night though... of course it got really strange that my mom was also pg LOL. Probably because we were chatting about babies yesterday. Anyways, enough about me.

Can't wait to hear about more BFP's this month

[3Pink1Blue]

Kris- Gorgeous baby girl! Can't wait to see real pics of her! I don't want leave us or the grad thread but like Lola said, if you need to we understand

Lbam- my nephew is a Xmas eve baby, all that eating has got to be good for a NYE blue bean!

Ttc5- I tink your timing is awesome, now the dreaded 2ww.

WP- ugh, I've got a cold too. Preg colds are brutal since we make so much extra mucus without extra germy help. Have fun at the Nutcracker, my dad took us very year!

Lola- well I think you've sold me on the netti pot, I'm sitting here with only one functional nostril so breathing sounds great lol

[LolaInLove]

Dude- netti pots are AWESOME. Get ready to enter a whole new world of clean and happy nasal passages!

Skrimpy, you guys have 5 kids! I wouldn't be ready for a while either! Just try to tell yourself that you need some time to enjoy Honor's infancy and prep for your next sway, lose some weight, etc. I know how you feel though, I am so ancy to get pregnant since everyone I know is having a baby right now also (IRL). I just have to tell myself that I will in time and try not to be unrealistic about my situation. Plus, I personally believe that it is better to bf your baby without another baby inside leaching any nutrients, but I am by no means a bf expert (even though I did bf two kids for a long time). I've heard it is not a big deal, but it would make me nervous that I was spreading myself too thin for 2 babies. So, maybe that will help you feel better.....that you need to let Honor be the baby for a while and get her nutritious milk all to herself before you get another bun in the oven? (:

[skrimpy]

ITA Lola - I want Honor to have her babyhood and plenty of mama milk before I get pg again. And early pregnancy is challenging enough without nursing so I like my LO's to have nursed long enough that I feel okay with weaning if need be. I feel pretty confident with our current plans to try in early 2013... it's just harder when it seems like everyone is pg or pg again! I'll send all my baby dust your way and live vicariously through you
