Hey Ladies 
How is everyone holding up this week? It feels like there has been a lot of no-so-good news lately....
How is everyone holding up this week? It feels like there has been a lot of no-so-good news lately....Major shout-out and T's and P's for our friend @singingirl96, who has her baby girl in the NICU and needs our love and support.
GTKY: Do you talk to the baby/babies in your belly?* What do you talk about?
*I have a feeling that I may have asked this question before. If so, please tell me I'm a bonehead

Re: IVF Girls Check-In
So far the week has been pretty good. Got my new washer and dryer delivered and washes all the baby clothes I have so far. Got the glider for the nursery and bought a few things for my hospital bag. Packing it tonight my husband has been on me to get it done the last week or so.
I do talk to her sometimes but it's usually when I'm alone or my husband asks who are you talking to. I read her the book I'll love you forever, which I got from some one but could barely finish it I was sobbing like crazy. Sometimes I will play music for her.

So, I'm doing pretty good. I totally agree that my hormones have kicked into overdrive, though. Walked in on DH painting the edges of the nursery wall with a tiny brush bc he wanted it perfect and I couldn't stop crying... Haha. This week has been sweet bc it's Teacher Appreciation Week. I love all the little special things! I have gotten many personal notes from my kids (which is a big deal for 11th graders) and DH sent flowers. The big complaints I have is that every time I pee, the second I stand up it feels like I have to go again, and the hip/back aches. I def have the pregnancy waddle down!
GTKY- I don't talk to her like I should and I know it! And DH barely ever does- he baby talks our fur baby more than our real baby! Haha! When I do, I mainly sing little nonsense songs. I feel like she hears my voice constantly through teaching, though!
@PregsMcSnoozalot we have to exchange cell numbers so we can text, labor buddy! I can try to help keep you entertained with my stupid, sarcastic sense of humor during your bed rest!
@singingirl96 shout out to you! You and your little one have been on my prayer list. Please know we are all with you!
@singingirl96 congrats on your baby girl. Praying for strength for all of you.
@PregsMcSnoozalot I'm happy you're able to say goodbye and your admin is being supportive.
@RKSnyder yay for being appreciated at school. Our school decided to move teacher appreciation two weeks later. It's kinda strange.
GTKY: I talk to baby boy occasionally. It is usually good morning and good night. DH says baby can hear him when he talks through my vagina. All that belly gets in the way. It makes me giggle a lot! DH mostly tells baby to grow big and strong.
I'm off to check out that link.
@PregsMcSnoozalot I downloaded the app so just tell me what to do!
I got to go home from the hospital last night but I am still on bed rest. It's a pain but I keep reminding myself it is for the babies!
GTKY:
I talk to them way too much.
@singingirl96
Keeping you and your family in my thoughts. We went to the nicu while in the hospital to see everything, it was pretty scary but it is amazing what they can do for the little ones these days. Hang in there *hugs*
@PregsMcSnoozalot
I hear you on the hormones making things.... Interesting
I flat out cried in my hospital bed after my husband didn't respond to my text for an hour... I felt so bad when he finally called all worried at my frantic texts because his phone had run out of power.
@brittajeanetta
Now that I am back home my husband keeps bugging me to repack a hospital bag so we can be more prepared for the next trip.
@RKSnyder
Hehe the waddle... Yeah I think I got that down too
@Kabee4
Oh my... I don't think I should have tried to picture what it looks like when someone speaks through a vagina! I may never get that imagine out of my head.
@BBColt78
The heartburn has been killer for me too, but while in the hospital I got a prescription for protonix and it have worked wonders!
@littlemissmarla
The short punt of time left is freaking me out a bit I have to admit
@brooklynesque
As long as they check with their ob that the chill pill is safe during pregnancy
You guys realize "they" are on this board and are reading this ridiculousness, right? And that this isn't real life where you have to wait for someone to stop talking before you can begin, that people can post to say whatever they want without waiting for "a chance," right? I could have sworn none of you were new here.
If this board doesn't have the right tone for you guys, may I suggest PAIF?
I rarely talk to my LOs. The front of my uterus is basically a solid mat of placenta so I don't seem to feel them as much as many others do. But during the U/S they are in there going berzerk yet I feel nothing so I try to not let it get me worried. I think they're getting to the point where they're strong enough that I'm going to start feeling them more, even through the placentas, so that will be nice. But like many, I think I've spent a lot of this pregnancy waiting for the other shoe to drop and something bad to happen so that's kept me from bonding a bit. But yesterday, because of this discussion, I made an effort to sing along to music for them. I work from home and don't talk a ton during the day so they may be more used to the sound of my dogs barking than my own voice. Maybe I'll be lucky and that's what will soothe them when they're fussy.
brittajeanetta my husband is totally on me about packing the hospital bag, but I am such a slacker!! 32 Weeks today... I need to get on that! lol
Ylvelill glad to see you are back... it's all good girl, you just keep your focus on that lil babe and everything will be okay.
PregsMcSnoozalot I hope you're doing well! Best of luck to you
The horomones are definitley raging these days... I'm getting emotional over everything. Not angry, not mean, but just emotional. I've found that my prenatal yoga class has helped me stay positive, which in turn can't be bad for the baby I assume.
GTKY: I talk to him sometimes... especially when I'm driving or when I'm watching TV or playing with the dogs.
On top of that, the "self-appointed board police" is bitchy. Let's all agree to that... you had to know when you started posting that that it would be offensive.
ETA: By "bitchy" and "offensive" I mean disrespectful, in case that wasn't clear. You've gotta give it to get it.

I think we are all perfectly aware that others can read this. Doesn't bother me.
I generally like all the ladies here on this board and try to offer support to all and knowledge when I have something to contribute. So I don't think I (or others) should be run off the board for disagreeing with some of the behavior here at times. (Shrugs.)
And I think it's safe to assume that most of the ladies here like you back, but it seems silly to talk shit and/or complain about people on this board in a corner somewhere ON THE BOARD. It's terribly n00b, don't you think?
*this is a joke. if you are offended, please see @pantherRN for your frontal lobotomy on your way out.
I just know how supportive the ladies in this thread have been personally for me and was trying to say I appreciate that. It was bad wording not meant to upset anyone but to compliment those that have helped me push through my fears during my first pregnancy. I know anyone can read this and I wasn't saying anything I thought was terrible or anything I wouldn't say on another thread if asked. I just haven't had a reason before to say anything. I usually love tit the hell out of the sarcasm and snark on posts so I'm not typically offended by much. I'm sorry to have offended anyone with my comment- not my intentions.

Once again -- speaking for myself, I was fully aware that others could and might well see my post. It wasn't a noob move -- I just wasn't worried about it. It's an opinion I would have been comfortable expressing anywhere -- I just hadn't bothered because it's not something I've been losing a lot of sleep over.
