I had my GYN appointment tonight and the doctor advised me that if we want a second we should not wait to long as my fertility is waning. Now I'm slightly depressed. I keep having these doubts about being one and done but I was mentally pushing it off. Now I feel like there is a countdown over my head. I know it's probably a bit premature, but now I'm really starting to question our family plan.
@deeds1013, I'm glad you've had some happy moments with your grandmother and O during such a difficult time. Hugs.
lia1303, nothing like the gyno adding more pressure/urgency to an already sensitive subject! Gah. Have you talked to your H recently about things? I know you've been saying you have some baby feels lately...?
mosy we have talked about it. He actually wanted to get a vasectomy about 6 months ago and I asked him to hold off. He has a daughter from a previous marriage and is 40 already so he feels like he is done. But I know him, and if I said I really felt strongly about a second he would agree. I don't know if I would really want that either as I would feel like I pushed him into it. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I miss the snuggly newborn stage. But I know logically there is no guarantee that the next would be snuggly and easy like Declan was and that it doesn't last long. I look at my little whirling dervish and I think there is no way I could do this with 2. I'm still very conflicted. deeds1017 that would be awesome though. DH sorry we have to have a second, I made a pregnancy pact with deeds so our kids have matching friends. ?
@pamom PA Mom (on mobile, can't remember the right tag) - I just saw an update on the news about your priest...said he's going home to his parish and can walk short distances?!
Also, I had my 2nd u/s today, and this time we saw a baby measuring 6w3d, heartbeat is good! I'm so happy for good news, but especially glad that the weird limbo period is over. Whew.
I need some opinions. I'm going to be selling my handmade Laundry soap at my vendor show on Monday. Which presentation looks better! azieber @deedee1017
Green and Pink matches my business cards and banner! Not sure if that's necessary or not though.

Hey ladies! I went to the doctor today. I'm officially off bed rest but she still wants me to take it easy! Baby girl weighs 11oz and was moving all around.
I've been having a hard time but hopefully being off bed rest will help me.
Crunchymama has been great at checking on me a few times a week.
Thank you all for your support, prayers, and positive thoughts.
pharmtechmom, that's great! I hope things start getting better for you now that you're off bed rest. Glad to hear from you!
lia1303, I was one of the few people on FB who voted for the purple/black ribbon combo for NinNin85's product, but I couldn't articulate why, besides that the green was "too neon." I like your wording that it looks more polished.

DD1 has this weird rash on her back. She got it last week. It does not itch or hurt. I only noticed it because she was running around naked, and she bent over and I could see it in the light. The next day I remembered we had switched her conditioner so we thought maybe she was having an allergic reaction. We switched back and it is still there- a week later! It has not spread, does not itch or bother her, she does not have a fever, is eating/drinking/acting normally but has not gotten better.
I called the dr yesterday and she said I could bring her in or try Benadryl or Claritin over the weekend. I brought her in, and the dr is not quite sure what it is! She thinks the most likely case is an allergic reaction to something in the environment. So we are trying Benadryl this weekend.
The dr was afraid the Benadryl would make DD1 sleepy- noooooooooope. The child is still resisting sleep lol.
And- excluding DD1's laryngomalacia complications/issues- this is the first non-checkup appt I have had to make.
This is weekend #2 of OperationFixFence, starring DH and my dad. It was *supposed* to be finished last weekend, and then it was supposed to be finished today. But it is looking like it won't be finished today. And tomorrow we have tickets to go to the Rangers game and concert after (Casting Crowns- who sing "Glorious Day", one of my favorite songs ever! And they are one of DH's favorite bands!) and I really don't want to miss the game and concert. I hate home improvement projects.
I hope the rash clears up soon crunchymama11. I'm glad it's not bothering her at least. I got super jealous for a minute about your Rangers tickets, but then I remember you are in Texas and are probably talking about baseball and not hockey.
I hope you get to go to the gamer and concert. That sounds fun.

Well, the rash has spread But it got worse after the game so maybe it was the heat? She was sweating at the game.
Found this outfit in my 2T hand-me-downs from SIL. I want to eat her! Also a little sad my baby is in 2T. Someone hold me and tell me she is still little
