Seeing the baby and hearing the heat eat yesterday was amazing and is helping my anxiety a lot. My due date got moved back 6 days though so I get to do week 7 over again.
I have to do a jail visit this afternoon, and I need to clean my office and organize all my files but man I am so tired. I thought I could give up coffee, but after reading Expecting Better, I'm pretty sure a small cup will do me some good...
Just do it. I was drinking coffee until this week when I just couldn't because I wasn't feeling well.
So I have decided to wait until May to TTC again but all your great scans make me want to try right away. But I'm going to Disneyland in May and I do not want to be pregnant. Haha maybe that's an fffc.
Also why the hell would someone walk by my desk while I'm eating a bagel, chuckle at me and keep walking? Like do you want some or?
I need my patience pants on today.
And I feel like I'm so behind because I haven't even thought about buying maternity clothes yet!
Honestly I hadn't planned on switching to maternity clothes until after 1st tri since this is our first, but I've already gained 20lbs due to being on a fairly high dose of prednisone. I've been on prednisone since July and gained 20lbs between July and November and now another 20lbs between November and now. My regular clothes (even the larger clothes I bought) are all too tight right now, so it was switch to maternity or buy even larger regular clothes.
TTC #1 since August 2011 DH (32): SA is ok, slightly low morph, normal SCSA Me (32): Slightly low P4, hostile CM, carrier for CF, high NKC, High TNFa, heterozyogous mutated Factor XIII, and +APA October 2012-August 2015: 4 failed IUIs, 3 failed IVFs, 2 failed FETs w/donor embryos, 1 freeze all IVF, 1 Failed FET, and 1 cancelled FET November 2015: FET w/ DEm #3 Transferred 1 perfect 6AA blast
Extremely tired today, even though I slept good last night. Work is slow so I am sitting her a little bored. I might go for a walk but its hella cold out..

My H just informed me my house will be full tomorrow for a football game. I picked up two packs of chicken wings which he will prepare. I'll make cookies, potato skins, and CHIPS W/ QUESO!!
I also see no harm in the occasional glass of wine. But this is advice my MW has given me. Everyone has to find their own comfort level and follow their own physician's advice
This is your first, right? You have time. I didn't need mat clothes with my first until well into 2nd tri
Yes, this is my first. I'm really really hoping that I can get away with a Bella band for my work pants for as long as I can since they're a uniform and maternity pants cost $150 each. But for outside of work maternity clothes I have no clue, we have a pool so I know I need to get a swimsuit eventually.
I would bite the bullet and buy the maternity work uniform sooner rather than later. You will probably have to buy them eventually so you may as well get your monies worth. And no sense being uncomfortable if you don't have to. Just my two cents!

My son had an irregular heartbeat found at 34 weeks and he still has it, and while I know it's silly to blame myself, I wonder if caffeine intake caused it.. so this time I'm trying my hardest to not have any, at least in liquid form.
They had me in L&D with an oxygen mask because their machines couldn't pick up his beat properly measuring it at like 35BPM, which was wrong but the irregularity was so much. Finally MFM came down and was able to locate it correctly. Scary day.
And this isn't the norm at all.. but anyway, it's why you'll probably see me bitching about missing caffeine lol
Tried to eat steak fried rice for lunch (again--I may or may not have had it yesterday too). I could barely eat it, and now I feel like I am going to puke. Darn.

I didnt need maternity clothing until 6 months with my first... this time around 6 weeks! But first time I was 22 and had lost 20 lbs. This time i am 32 and I gained 30 pounds since getting married in 2014.
I tried my full panel mat jeans yesterday and they kept falling down. Good problem, I guess, but I was hoping they would work for the comfy tummy. The darn Bella band rolls down every single time. I gave up on it.

This is my issue. I don't like the low waistband ones later because they always fall down on me, but I can't wear full panel now because the elastic doesn't have anywhere to go but down.

I cut out coffee but I allow myself a cup of half-caff on days when I'm really struggling. I've found it pretty effective and guiltless so far.
ETA: I honestly think having a cup of full caff a day is fine for most people, but my PAIF brain is too bad to "risk" it. Cutting out caffeine is one of the changes I made before my second, much better IVF cycle so I am trying to stick with it.
