TTC/Preg Check In (all May Moms can join in)

littleredfish

We haven't had one in a little while, and with all the recent BFPs it's hard to keep track!

Since we're a slow board, everybody can join in on the discussion.

If you are TTC/Preg give us an update on how things are going, how far along, how are you feeling, etc?

If you aren't TTC/Preg yet when will you be, or are you OAD?

DH started bringing up trying again just last month. I've only been at my new job since February and I'd like to get more of our debts paid off while we can. Me working has definitely helped get us over the hump we were climbing, so we've made a deal to start TTC again as of DD's 2nd birthday.

We would like to try for #2 in the near future, but I haven't gotten my PP visit from AF yet... Kind of a bummer. I still BF and I think continuing that until we are both ready to stop is more important to me than having my kids be a few months closer in age. I think if they are within 3 years of each other, I will be happy. I'm starting to get a little jealous of all the expecting mothers though! With my son being a difficult infant, I thought it would be ages before I would be ready to take the plunge again, but surprisingly, I feel pretty well prepared. I guess I will credit my son who seems to be making up for his difficult infancy by growing into a pretty sweet and happy boy

We will probably start trying again around DS 2nd birthday. Although, all the preggo mamas on here kinda are giving me baby fever.

If we do decide to have another we'll start trying in January... I think. I want to stay home with the second baby as much as I can and DH and I both agreed a long time ago that when DD starts school I will be going back to work regardless if we have another child. That child will have to go to daycare then. I want to have another sooner rather than later so we're not paying for daycare for too long.

Today I am 4.4 weeks along. At first I had sore nipples, waking to pee and dull cramping. Now I don't really have anything....wish I had symptoms. But then DH reminded me that last pregnant I didn't even know I was pregnant at 4.4weeks. I had no symptoms until 6 weeks. So I'm just trying to not stress and leave it in God's hands.

I'm chugging along here heading towards 18 weeks. I can't wait to have my A/S at the end of the month! DD is finally walking consistently and is off the bottle completely so that is helping me believe that having them around 2 years apart wasn't a crazy idea. Congrats to all the new BFPs!

23.1 weeks today. I'm still feeling really good. Although I may have a hernia in my stomach, so that hurts every once in a while. Kicks and jabs are almost constant now. It's so much fun to really feel them now. Josh is able to feel them too, he's excited. We had another ultra sound yesterday and got a few nice good shots that it is a girl. So last night we had a photo shoot to announce it to family! Now that we finally now it's a girl, we are starting to look up ideas for nurseries.

I have three lo being the youngest and my middle is only 18 months older! We are DONE. I had my tubes permanently tied when lo was three months old. The funny thing is I have no baby fever or even twinges of wanting another anymore, I am so done.

Reed McKennan was born on the 29th of July and I have an appt for getting my tubes tied in five weeks. I got the depo shot before leaving the hospital. Taking no chances this time. We have five children now with the three youngest being 2 1/2, 15 months and one week old. WAY DONE! Love them a ton though!

Af is visiting so we hope to try shortly, so here's hoping!

We just found out this week.  I am only 4 weeks so very early.  The nurse was amazed that the test was already positive--she thought I had a normal cycle, but according to FF I had a 25 day cycle this month.  I am taking progesterone twice a day b/c my body doesn't produce enough to sustain.  They really need to invent a pill form for that!  But if it helps keep this one going I will gladly do it.  I am so hopeful for DD to have a sibling.

35w4d. I have to say that I'm ready to meet this little man! EDD is September 8, I'm trying to be patient but DD was two weeks early so I'm starting to get antsy!

Or November lol whenever he/she decides to make an appearance I don't care as long as I am not 42 weeks pregnant haha

huskymomma94

I'll be 10 weeks on Monday!  I was feeling pretty crappy but I think I'm starting to feel better.  So far my pregnancy has been very similar to my pregnancy with DS....Maybe its another boy?!

I'm having some baby fever now, but my husband recently lost his job so we'll be having a big move soon once he accepts a new position (he negotiating with a company now closer to our parents).  Although it was alright moving while pregnant with LO#1, it would not be fun moving pregnant and having a toddler.  So, we'll wait until the dust settles again.

I haven't posted on this board in a looooong time, so you may not recognize me, but I'm 22 weeks and we're having a boy!  I've been feeling pretty good so far, just finding it a little more difficult to keep up with a toddler with pregnancy exhaustion that comes and goes.
