  thank you. Yes it was horrible timing. My husband got it first on Thursday, 5 days after my c section and I was trying to care for him and the baby ( thankfully my MIL took the other two) and then when I got it I felt like my insides might come out my incision. I am so sore from being sick. And I felt bad for Declin,I nursed him through but that was the first time I ever nursed with a bucket next to me lol

Oh man, how miserable. BTW, did y'all change his name from Declan to Declin or am I wrong? lol

No lol I typed it wrong the first time. I wanted Declan but hubby wanted Declin and he got to pick this time so Declin it is!

Ohh, okay! I see. I thought I was going crazy, lol.  

Thanks ladies for the well wishes for my Aunt. It just happend so suddenly--she's fine one day and the next day in the hospital and BAM has cancer. I'm sad for her and her family as well as my mom--they are close. I've also been thinking about that family all day and night and can't imagine what that young boy is going to have to go through.
Jen- I'm glad you guys are over the stomach bug and on the up side! Being sick and having LO's sick is the worse. I can't wait to see more pics of Declin, he's so cute! As for me, the pregnancy is going well and I'm 22w 2d and I go tomorrow for a prenatal check up. I was kind of in a funk Sunday about feeling big and all but I'm over that now, lol.

Quoting Izzy {+1} Calls Me Mama:" Thank Mel. I know it's so so sad. I was talking to a couple of friends on FB and they knew the family ... [snip!] ... cut his son and set the house on fire and then shot himself. The paramedics found the son in the bathtub upstairs and burned "

It's just terrible   I saw it on the news here too.

Quoting -Jen[24 monthsTTC]:" Thanks, Girls... another month of clomid.. I just want to get pregnant soon so I don't have to have surgery. ... [snip!] ... that little boy and the rest of his family. What a sad and horrific thing.. some people should just not be parents.. how awful."

  I really hope it is going to happen for you soon Jen. Does your doctor have any plan to switch up treatments? I know you've used Clomid quite a few times. Maybe it's time to try something else?

Quoting *VuHnEsSaH*:" Aww, I didn't know y'all had settled on a name!! I love it! "

  Thanks!

Quoting *VuHnEsSaH*:" I think the end is finally in sight for this cycle, yay!! I'm having cramps & getting brown/red discharge. "

YAY! LOL I hate saying Yay for AF but at least it's over so you can move on!

Hi Jen! It's great to hear from you! I'm sorry you've all been sick, that's really awful timing!!! I'm glad to hear you're all on the mend though and that Declin is thriving!

Aw that's awful   What a shock  

Good luck at your appointment   I've been feeling pretty sensitive about how big I'm getting these days too. People keep commenting on it. Sometimes it's okay, I get it, but sometimes I just want to tell people to back off, I'm pregnant and I'm supposed to get bigger. I've only gained 7 lbs this pregnant, and my OB is really happy with that. I'm certainly showing much more this time that I did with Tyler, so I guess that's part of why people comment on it, but sometimes I just wish they used a little tact.

Thanks! Yeah I've only gained a pound since finding out (I'm sure that will change tomorrow because I feel bigger, lol). I gained 32lbs with Isabella so I hope not to gain that much this time around but hey what can you do, it's all for a good reason! I still can't believe you're 30 weeks?!!!! I remember when we were looking at your pretty lines

See that's the thing! It's OKAY to gain weight while you're pregnant!! We shouldn't be made to feel that it isn't! That's why I didn't continue to see my first OB. I don't want or need that kind of pressure. Yes, I want to keep my weight gain under control, but I also don't want to feel like I'm dieting while I'm pregnant. It's totally normal for a woman to gain 30-40 lbs during a pregnancy, or even more!!

LOL I know I can't believe it, I feel like I just found out! Time has really flown, but it's starting to move more slowly now! Next week I start going to weekly appointments and it's starting to feel real. I am really hoping that labor starts naturally, but on the same token, I can't imagine how that will be, since I had a scheduled induction with Tyler. I have no idea how it will feel to start having those first weaker contractions (with the induction, they came hard and fast from the start). Then there is timing them and figuring out when the right time is to go to the hospital! Eek it just makes me a little nervous to think about! My nurse did tell me that if I have 4 contractions in one hour, they want me to call the office, so it will be nice to have their direction to know if I should go to the hospital or not!

Ahh!! I hope it comes on naturally for you! With me I went to my 40w check up a Friday and I was only 1cm dialted nothing going on at all. I woke up Saturday morning and was crampy (I just thought it was from my appt) and throughout the day the cramps progressed and I had a burst of energy! The most energy had throughout my pregnancy--I was cleaning and washing our cars, lol. Around 6pm I started having contractions and they were around 10 min apart so I took a bath and relaxed. At 8pm they were harder and 6-8 min apart and at 10pm 2-3 so we left for the hospital and I had her the next morning! I hope it goes that smoothly this time around.

Not really. He said if I'm ovulating why change. But on Monday I see him and I'm gonna ask if maybe we can try something else. I'm afraid because my uterus is so tipped we might need to do IUI which frightens me because my pelvic exams are getting more and more painful.   so a iui would mean going in there ya know.
