I can't wait to just experience the pregnancy itself! I can't imagine what it will feel like to feel that baby inside me. And then to look into those eyes and know that the baby is all ours.... *sigh*. I can't wait for the normal everyday things: bathing, putting to bed, taking them shopping with me, and going out to dinner as a family. All of that boring stuff I just can't wait to experience with my baby. If Cheri's going to be right about September, this cycle is my last chance. And that's just UNDER 9 months! Oh, I hope it's true!

Diem, how are you feeling?

Thanks for the new thread newmommy. I really want to do it (Cheri), but I am always so nervous about giving out my credit card and stuff through the internet. My dh would freak about the paypal thing. Anyway AF is still here, so I called the doctor and asked what they thought and they had it down as me wanting to regulate by going on the pill. Im like umm no. So they still want to see me but I can only imagine how it is going to be when they cant even listen to me over the phone. Well nothing exciting. Have a good day!

Oooh! Cheri just got back to me about my questions. This is what she said: "I think that you will find that its going to change frequently through out their childhood/teen years on whether they get along as best friends or if they will be further apart.. As young children yes, as they reach over 9, they drift apart a bit and are not as close, fight a bit more, and then when they reach past around 14 it switches again.. they will always get along for the most part, but you will certainly notice when they like to hang out with each other, where as they dont:) lol Would say that I see them both more with brown hair coloring, your daughters eyes will be more light than your sons, I think that you can conisder them more of a hazel eye coloring." I guess no red-head! Bummer. I think girls especially are so pretty with red hair. TWhit, how frustrating! I hope the Dr. is different than whoever made the appt, and that they listen to you. What day is your appt? I'm still spotting today. I'm wondering if this is more of a light flow than spotting since it's my 3rd day of it. My temp went back down to 97.3, so I wonder if it will stay lower now until after "o". I'm ready to get this show on the road! :-)

Newmommy - Feel the exact same way. I just can't even imagine what it will be like. I had a dream once that I was pregnant and I could feel the baby moving. It was so sureal. A couple of years ago we were really bored at the job I was at and have you heard the string and needle thing? Where it tells you if you are going to have a girl or a boy and how many? It was funny we did it 3 times and the first one said I was going to have two girls. Then 2nd time it said I would have a boy first then a girl. So confused by the two that I did it a 3rd time and it said I would have a boy and girl twin first then another girl. Maybe thats why it didn't know the first two times. DH was like no way we can handle twins. I said we can handle anything that is given to us. It would me I can be a at home mom since my pay would just pay for daycare. Twins run in both of our families so we will see. I just want to get pregnant. I don't care what sex it is or how many. Dh really wants a boy first. I don't care. I told him its up to his little swimmers!!! TWhit - I was nervous about giving my credit card info but its through paypal itself so she never gets your info. So I said the hell with it lets see what happens. I can't wait to hear what she has to say.

Newmommy - your temps sound like the ones I had last cycle. I think my temps are high in the morning because of the clomid. I am taking it at night. So we will see what happens after I take my last pill.

My appt is tomorrow at 11:30

 

newmommy - December 14

K8- someone at my previous work did that on me, too. She showed a girl, and then a boy. Cheri said a boy, then a girl. But, she also said the the baby from my m/c was a girl, and that when I do have my girl, it will be the spirit of that one I lost. So maybe they match up, depending on how you look at it. If I got to chose, I'd say boy then girl, but I agree: I really don't care as long as I get them! Crazy to think that twins are a possibility for you! DH already said he only wants 2 kids (I probably want two, but 3 is a possiblity), and if I happened to get pregnant with twins the first time, it would be my only pregnancy because he only wants two! I'm like: no, I want 2 PREGNANCIES! But he's such a softie: he'd probably cave if I ever really wanted a third! He's already talking about adding a 3rd pug because he loves them so much. I have to be the strong one, as much as I love animals, because we'd have a menagerie if it were up to him! Twins are nowhere in my family, so I don't think we have to worry about that, though. I wonder what my temps will do tomorrow. I'm still trying to figure out the timing on taking it, because I'm not working yet, and I usually am awake on and off from 4-6ish. I haven't been sleeping very well lately. I think when I start working, it'll be much easier to take at the same time. TWhit, let us know how your appt. goes tomorrow!

Ok...Each of you has the right to tell me to SHUT UP already after my rant. =)

I am soooooo angry with best friend. She sucks! My dog is a better friend to me then she is. Haven't talked to her in a week and a half and she decided to leave me a message this morning. This was the jist of it: Oh hi how are you I hope well. If I don't talk to you before Christmas have a good one and I'm sending out Christmas cards this week. That was it. I'm sure everyone's thinking what's wrong with that???? Well for starters she could have said I am really thinking of you and hoping that things are working out. This must be a hard month for you and I have you on my mind. The call she made to me was more like Hi I'm in my own world and don't know what's going on with you. Ok...I am ditching her ass because friends need to care and be there during the tough times. To support one another and stay involved with the other person. The last time I checked it wasn't ok for a friend to only hang around for the good times. I am having surgery next month. Wouldn't you think she should care???? She has no f-ing clue what I am battling. My feelings are hurt and my soul is broken right now. I need to surround myself with people who truely care about me and my journey. Thanks girls for listening. I know this sounds super bitchy but I am tired of giving of myself to others and then them trashing me. I'm done with her and moving on with my walk towards motherhood.

Lucky - I hope you don't mind but you wrote cracked me up. Its ok to rant thats why we are here. To help and support each other because sometimes our friends in real life have no idea what we are going through and can't be there emotional or mentally. Its really sad. My best friend we don't talk as much as we use to or hang out like we use to but she is always asking how things are going with me. But I am glad I can count on you guys. You are my virtual BFs. I don't know what I would do withour your support. I am so lucky to have found you guys. Newmommy - I wake up alot between 4-6am too. I just take my temp when dh gets out of the shower and I am still in bed. I am sure thats not how it should be but it seems to work. Did you sign up with FF? I can't wait to share charts. I am cleaning and trying to get things looking nice again. Being sick sucks. I am so behind on everything. I have my last load of laundry to fold and thats done until Sat. when I have to do this weeks.

 

k8cherry - December 14

Lucky - I hope you dont take what I wrote the wrong way. I just read it and doesn't sound sympathic. I am so sorry that you don't feel she is not being supportive enough. She should be wondering how you are doing but it sounds like she doesn't really know what is truely going on with you. I am so sorry for that. Its understandable that she has a new baby and she is busy but she is supposed to be your best friend.

 

Lucky717 - December 15

Oh hell K-8 it's ok if you laugh. I started out by saying everyone has the right to tell me to shut up with my bitching. Yes you are right. She's had her baby for almost 3 months and she should act like a best friend and at least call. Shes such a flake right now. Whatever. Waiting on DH to get home and popped a pizza in the oven.

 

newmommy - December 15

Oh, Lucky--I'm sorry girl! Does she realize all that you are going through to get pregnant??? If she does, then I definitely agree: you need to save your energies for what's most important to you right now---creating that baby. If you want to give her one last chance, this is your time to test. Tell her about the surgery coming up. That would wake anyone up! If she doesn't check in on you, then that's your definite answer. But you are already not feeling positive with the way it's going now, so if you need to end it now, then definitely go with it. You need lots of positive energy. Heck, we all do!!! I agree with k8: you are all my online BF's! I don't really have a BF anymore. Long story, but she was basically like Lucky's friend: friends on her terms. She left her husband, who has been my DH's friend since they were kids. I never heard from her again. I wasn't surprised. I'm so glad that I have you guys to talk to: you all rock! :-) k8, I did sign up for FF, and also charting on paper (old-school!) I can't wait to check out everyone's charts too! I've also been trying to clean all day, but have been SO lazy!. I get up to clean something, and manage to plop back down on the couch with my trusty laptop! :-)

 

k8cherry - December 15

Lucky - what made me laugh wasn't she did but what you said how you were ditching her ass. i had a lot of friends that used me. its a horrible feeling. just think about yourself. you are #1 and baby making is you priority. lets see those bfp's!!!!

 

newmommy - December 15

Diem, are you doing okay?

 

pepesgirl - December 15

Lucky...Rant away!!!! I am so sorry to hear about what she is doing to you...True friends don't treat each other like s**t, and then act as if nothing is wrong...and I don't think it's fair that she is using having a baby as her excuse for being absent in your life...I have a very dear friend, basically a BF, who has a 4 week old, and she has never once been too busy to at least say "Hi" or see how things have been for me...It does not take any time to pick up the phone and call. I think you are on the right path in your decision to focus on getting PG and becoming a mommy! My thoughts are with you. Sticky babydust!!! :)
