It's been so quite in here lately.... what's everyone been up to?

[BeckyBozeman]

Hehe.... I didn't realize it had been so quiet! But that's probably because I'm not on all that much right now...

I've been thinking about writing up an update on me anyway... not that there's all that much news. So here goes -

The EDD of my first angel is next week. It's hitting me a little harder than I thought it would. Lots of episodes of sudden crying, or little things will set me off. I'm also feeling a little depressed and a little gloom-and-doomy, which is rotten considering all of the good things that are happening right now. A friend is due in February and keeps saying how she can't wait to not be pregnant. I have to bite my tongue constantly to keep from telling her how jealous I am that she's going to be taking her baby home. I'd love to be miserably pregnant right now...

Aside from that things are good... got a positive OPK this morning so I'm expecting my temp to shoot up tomorrow or the next day, probably tomorrow because my OPK from yesterday was pretty darn close to positive. We've been BDing a lot so I know there's a chance we'll catch something, and I'd love to have an October baby, but I'm okay with the idea of a November baby too! I'll start my progesterone suppositories on Thursday though, just in case. Who knows, maybe this will be the month since I'm not holding my breath waiting for it to happen.

And of course the big thing right now is my wedding... February 19th is right around the corner and I'm struggling with not feeling stressed about everything being perfect. Things are coming together nicely though, so I'm feeling good about it. If I could just get people to RSVP!!

So that's my update... It'll probably be a few more weeks before I'm back on more often, but I think about all of you ladies a lot and hope for sticky BFP's for all of you!

[martilynne]

It has been slow lately. I feel like I scared everyone off

Hugs Becky, EDDs suck especially when you're not pregnant. I'm sorry your friend is saying things like that to you...oh to be blissfully ignorant...Good luck with the last of your wedding plans, this next month will go so fast! Hopefully you will be pregnant by then and expecting an Oct baby <3

Becky! Edd's are always hard. And shame on your friend for not thinking of you. I hope your wedding goes well. I can't wait to see pictures of your wedding

Aww Marti you didn't scare people off. Since I've been host it's been off and on with people posting. I'm trying to keep the board running but sometimes I feel like I'm in over my head.

[martilynne]

Katie- I sure understand that. I'm a co-host in my PR and I don't know what to do to liven it up. We maybe get a couple posts a day Our FB group is super active so it's like nobody has a reason to come here anymore.

[.:Shortcake:.]

That's how it's been here. We don't have a facebook group (and I'm glad). Sometimes I don't know what else to do.

[L-SBB]

HUGS Becky...i know first EDD is super tough. I'm glad you have a wonderful excuse like your wedding to distract you a little

I have a decent excuse for being MIA...our laptop crashed hard Friday and it took us all weekend to wipe, reimage and get everything up & running again. I'm just glad it *is* running again b/c I really thought it was fried and i'd be gone until a new laptop could be shipped.

[BabyLover]

I've been here, but I've been lurking instead of posting. Sorry.

I'm one week into my TWW. I feel like I have some positive signs, but I'm also trying really hard not to get my hopes up. What are the chances we would get pregnant the first month we TTC after losing our baby? I would be THRILLED, but I'm also terrified of being pregnant again. What if I lose our next baby too??? I'm not even tempted to test early. AF is due next Tuesday.

You've got a lot going on, Becky! Keep your chin up.

[doremi]

I'm here, but I don't check this board every day. I find if I do, I start getting too obsessive about my TTC journey. Katie, don't beat yourself up about the board being slow... the important thing is that when people DO need support, they can find it here. We all have our ups and downs, and if any of the rest of the group is like me, there are times when being here is a lifeline and incredibly helpful, and other times when I just need to step away for my own emotional well being Oh, and to be honest, I think this is just a slow time on the boards in general... our PR has been slow too.

[cheeky_monkey]

I'm here as well but lurking more than posting. It's been a while since I have been prerry active. I love this board but every time I long on in here it reminds me of how long we've been trying - usucessfully. Reading about BFP's gotten over here crushes me even more.

Seeing more people join scare the sh** out of me coz I don't want to get pregnant again and lose another baby. I'm sorry Katie if this sounds insensitive to you since you had a lot of losses

[Shadeauxe]

I've been working on my plan for world domination. It's almost complete.

ROFL - Courtney I've missed you! You should pop in more often

I've been awol too. Things have just been crazy lately, and we had a rash of BFPs right around the time of my EDD which just hit me hard I guess. Let's see - short update - DH has his variocele surgery two days before Christmas and that was a bigger ordeal than either of us anticipated. Partly because of where his issue was etc. But he was completely down and out for 2 weeks. He is healing though, so now we are just waiting to see what his test results in early April look like. Until we see if the surgery/med regime made a difference I'm not really charting or tracking O, so right now I am just trying to patiently wait and distract myself by researching IVF (which will be our only option if the regime doesn't work). It annoys DH (who is eternally optimistic) but I want to be prepared.

Katie please don't worry about the board being slower. I think it is mostly just the time of the year. You are a wonderful host!

[Belita]

Katie, I wouldn't worry about it. I think you do a great job. I think it's like the others have said, this is a very difficult topic and sometimes people just need a break.

I can understand this board being a help but also making us terrified. I've had one loss and don't know how you ladies with multiple losses have done it. Honestly, I hope I never have to find out.

[.:Shortcake:.]

This board has been my rock. Without it I would have gone insane. It gives me something to focus on and also seeing ladies graduate give me hope. I do know that people need breaks from here. I myself have taken quite a few. Just wanted to see where everyone is at. I miss you all!

[cheeky_monkey]

Seeing you here breaks MY heart

[Cait&AngelAbove]

I am! I hurt my shoulder and was unable to get on the computer yesterday but it is getting better today.

[martilynne]

We you Katie! You are a rockin' host.

[markswife]

I do most of my posting from work and I've been super busy lately without much free time. My PR is pretty dead too but the Facebook group is really active. I think it would be busier if JM had an app making it easier to use. I'm not a smartphone girl but that's what several of my PR mommies have said.

I'm still pretty nervous about actually TTC baby #2. We missed our window this month and I'm not that sad about it. I was just devastated with our loss and don't know how I would handle it if it happened again. DD just turned 1 and requires so much energy there is a small piece of me that thinks it's crazy to double the work load. It took us two years to get DD and I'm not getting any younger so I feel like it we don't try now we may not have much time left.

[Belita]

An app would be great! There's an app called Tapatalk that takes regular boards like this and makes it easy to browse on a phone. I'm not sure what that entails, though. I just know that a board I used to frequent was on that.

Your DD is just the cutest little thing!
