and today's topic is.....Friday Fribbles!!!

[Ashelen]

Talk about anything!!! This is a social post so you can talk about the weather, your pregnancy, your kids, your favorite movies....let's get a discussion going and get to know one another!!


My fribble is this...AF is now 5 days late. I'm in full panic mode. I'm testing tomorrow if she doesn't show but this is officially a day longer than the longest cycle I've EVER had in my entire life...so I'm quite nervous. Not that I wouldn't be grateful and feel blessed if I were pregnant, but we were DEFINITELY not planning on another baby this soon (Grey is only 4 months old!)....I will see what I will see tomorrow I suppose. If I am pregnant, this is my last pregnancy and that makes me very very sad. I don't want anyone to think that I don't feel grateful if I am pregnant, but I DO feel overwhelmed and not ready for this...and then I feel guilty for feeling that!



What's up with you guys today?

[Sunkissed19]

Clysta- That's crazy, my grandparents are going to be up here for the holidays from California on the 18th (also driving up) and i am so so so so excited to see them!! My Grandma was here for Matthew's birth but my grandpa had to stay behind and take care of business so this will be his first time meeting him and he's 7 months old :( but its so exciting at the same time!! I cant wait...i love the holidays for that reason...getting to see family! I hope you enjoy your time :) i know im gonna enjoy mine!

as for me..man today has been a blur..my mom, the kids, and I have been running all morning, trying to finish Christmas. and just hang out...and I am exhausted now lol

[NicoleW09]

Thanks! It's hard being sick the entire time...actually pregnancy in general is so exhausting and painful. I'm praying the next two weeks fly by, but so far they haven't.

[Clysta]

Don't worry Nicole and don't feel bad. I had HG my entire pregnancy as well and it's torture. I was beyond ecstatic when I finally went into labour and had mine. I hope the next two weeks go by really fast for you. Good luck!

[NicoleW09]

Well, the end is near for me. I have 13 days left til my induction unless Lexi decides she wants to surprise me and come. Which I would personally LOVE! I woke up this morning and noticed a light stretch mark running through where my belly button was pierced. It's my first stretch mark to form this pregnancy, I already had a few on my sides from weight gain with birth control. But...as vain as it sounds, I despise this stretch mark. I think I've put Palmer's on it like three times today already. I know once my belly button goes back in and my belly gets back to normal it'll be hardly noticeable, but how many more are going to pop up from now until I have her? Maybe it's just my hormones and stress since I have bad insomnia right now and can't sleep a wink that's making me so annoyed with it. lol.

I want this pregnancy to be over, and I feel intense guilt for feeling like this. I feel like if I want her to come out so bad that maybe something bad will happen. I know it's just nerves and anxiety, but considering I've had hyperemesis this whole pregnancy...I just want to feel good again. :(

[Clysta]

My only things right now is that it's freezing right now. All this week it's been around 30 and 40 outside and I miss summer more than anything. On a plus side though, my aunt and cousin are driving up from Florida December 18th and I'm beyond excited to see them. It's been around 4 years since I last did and I miss them so much. They're also really excited to meet Kylie and DH so that should be fun too.

[smjmekg]

I'm sorry. You should for sure stick around. We welcome everyone and try to be helpful...

[shanniree]

Thanks because there is lots of that as I'm sure you know. My family is not suportive at all my mom told me I was stupid for trying and should have done the surgery.

[smjmekg]

You're more than welcome shanniree! This is a helpful supportive community. Yours isn't a name I recognize, and I see you're a new member. I hope you stick around...it's a great place to get answers/advice, and at the very least lots of women here with lots of shoulders to cry on, and lots of ears to listen.

[shanniree]

Thanks sunkissed19 and smjmekg, it's really helpful to hear that i have people out therepraying for me.

[smjmekg]

Shanniree~~~I had a negative test in the AM and a positive PM test with this pregnancy. I'm not sure why that happened since your first morning urine is supposed to have the highest concentration of HCG...I hope and pray it is a positive for you. I agree with Sunkissed19, the pink dye tests (first response is a good one) are better than blue dye.

[shanniree]

I am 14dpo today. I used the first responce er with the pink lines. I'm just praying it was a true reading and that I didn't just get the pinkish faint line because it was longer than 3 min

[Sunkissed19]

Shanniree-

Im so sorry that is really scary! I am praying for you that you get an actual positive! When are u due for your period? how many days past ovulation has it been? it could just be too early to test still. what kind of tests are you using? pink dye or blue dye? better to use pink they have less chances of seeing an evap line.

[shanniree]

I'm looking for positive feedback. This has been a long year. In feb I was told I had uterine cancer and had to have a full hysto. Went for a 2nd oppinipn and was told I could take this pill 4x daily For 3 mo. and put it in remission then haves baby right away before the surgery. Meds worked so on to the next step. No luck the past 3 mo so this mo did folistim injections and it worked.  Now my 2ww is almost done and don't have any preg symptoms:( INS doesn't cover anything and we can't pay for meds next mo so it needs to have happened this mo. I took a preg test and had the faintest of faint lines yesterday afternoon and this morning there wasn't one. Is it  possable to test better durring the day than first morning? Lord I pray this works. I'm only 29 can't have a hysto yet !!!!  

[Sunkissed19]

Well, i wouldnt have freaked out so much over 15 dollars if DF hadnt recently been laid off...but i mean we REALLY dont have 15 dollars to waste during the holidays. When he had a job we were making more than enough but right now we are trying to figure out what the heck we are going to do and he was letting his pride waste money that right now has no way of being replenished? It was just so dumb! He normally is so responsible with money! But its hard for him too because he came from a pretty wealthy family so he's always just used to money being there....I came from a poor family so its easy for me to accept help if we need it. But its not like he just wasnt accepting it....he was accepting the help...he just wanted ME to do it. like it was okay that i get embarrassed...he just needs to get over it and grow up...and thats what i made him do. he went and used the check and got the formula but now he's all p issy with me....oh well...MEN.

[wannabeamama6]

Oh in that case! Come anytime little lady! Well after mommy has packed her bag!:) *poke*

[smjmekg]

wannabeamama6~Nope, no need to keep her in now, I found out I don't have to wait for the OB consult to attempt a VBAC. She can come out whenever she's ready, like now...*poke poke*

Amanda~~~OMG! I would have been p*ssed. And there's really no reason to be embarrassed, I personally think that with all we pay out to the government it's our right to get help if we need it. There's too many people out there who really DO need the help that don't get it. If I didn't have WIC, I wouldn't have been able to afford all the formula Elijah used...not to mention, why turn down free help? Everyone needs it at some point in their lives, rich or not...

[Leyisel21]

Alright FRIDAY!!!! Lol well its a very exciting day mu sister inlae just called me to say that we have the same due date? What??? Thats crazy right there! Lol anyways tgif ladies and hope all of you have a nice weekend!

[wannabeamama6]

I woulda made him take the d@minute check! We have some issues to sometimes! We haven't done WIC but I think we might. And its only been the last 2 months. And now we are good again. We were having to pay $150 a week for the girls to be on dfs insurance while on medicare... It was bull.

:) u were right!

[Sunkissed19]

Well, im P*ssed the F off at the moment!!!!

I guess i could share that...it sure as hell is a fribble! This morning DF was going to run to the store for me to get formula so i tell him the WIC check is on the counter. He goes "i was just going to use cash for this one"...im like "why the heck would you do that?!" his excuse is that we are gonna have to buy one before we get more checks anyway (this might be true but at the time i didnt care) I didnt care because i knew exactly why he was doing this. He is too EMBARRASSED to use a WIC check at the store. Are you freaking kidding me? That's why we put your name on the check too....so when i cant get to the store YOU can. We dont have 15 dollars just sitting around to buy formula...especially at christmas time..hence why we accepted WIC in the first place. The reason it pissed me off so much is because he was so embarrassed to do it that we would rather waste 15 dollars to not be. That he expects me get over MY pride to use the checks everytime (like he thinks this wasnt embarrassing for me the first time i did it) but i did it for our FAMILY....so we can save money! If you ask for help, like we did....you sure as HELL better not be embarrassed to do whatever it is they're offering ....if they can be so gracious as to pay for all of our formula then u better walk into that store and whip that check out! I am just so disappointed in him....thats not a trait i want to teach our children.  The worst part is when he was leaving (with the checks because i made it clear to him i would not stand for it and that he needed to s uck it up and grow up) he said "you can really be a jerk sometimes" IM THE JERK? seriously? ladies am i wrong here? would u have made ur husband take the damn check too?
I think we should be gracious and thankful for what we do have and not too proud to admit what we dont have. We just had our first baby (young and unplanned) of course we're struggling a bit at the moment! Everybody does at first !

[Destani214]

watch you get your BFP cause you aint trying!!! lol

[wannabeamama6]

Ammnanda- Share pls!

Destani- I hope its ur BFP!

Smj- don't u need her to stay in for 7 more days?

Ava- :)

Cass- I'm sure she'll be ok! They seem to act better for strangers then they do for us!

[cassandra19]

today is hubby birthday, and we are going out of town to banff for his company's xmas party, this is our first time away from our daughter for the whole weekend, i am so nervous she will not cooperate, because she is so attached to me. she is spending it with her grandparents and aunt. Oh i hope hope she is good lol. Other then that last time we went to banff i was pregnant and everyone was drinking and having a good time, and i just got to sit around and watch, it was such a bore. I hope to god this time isn't the same thing. On the plus side on monday i get to find out the sex hopefully yay..

Congrats on any new babies coming :)

[avaortega407]
