Both DH and my companies have a children's party. I really want to go to the one by my employer but we're questioning whether or not it's a good idea.

Thoughts?

CD 1 was Nov. 11th, and AF finished on Nov. 15 (CD 5) On CD 8 I had pinkish/brown streak when I wiped. I only happened once and wasn't enough to show up on underwear at all. I recall CM being wet, although I haven't been checking internally this cycle. My O predictor says I should O on Nov. 22, which works out perfectly b/c dh is home all weekend and prime time to be BD'ing, so I was really hopeful that this cycle will be it for us... but now I'm thinking that that streak might have been O spotting? But I'm not sure because that seems so soon to O (only 3 days after AF finishes???) I really hope I didn't O early :( ]]> Trying To Conceive ImperfectMom http://www.themommyplaybook.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176547 moms with more then 1 child http://www.themommyplaybook.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176546&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:46:34 GMT How did your eldest child/older children cope with having a new sibling?

Hey ladies,
I would not normally post about something like this in here, but I wanted to see if anyone had some first hand experiences with Ambien. Elaine got back from her appt and they are putting her on lexapro (which I know about) and ambien.

I got this off the site:

Do not take this medicine unless you are able to get a full night's sleep before you must be active again. You may not be able to remember things that you do in the hours after you take this medicine. Some people have reported driving, making phone calls, or preparing and eating food while asleep after taking sleep medicine. Take this medicine right before going to sleep. Tell your doctor if you are have any problems with your memory.
and it scared me a bit. Not going to lie. I know not all people are effected though the same way by medication. So if anyone has some personal experience with this drug would you mind sharing it with me here or through pm?

The only thing is that there will be other grand children added to the family in the future. Would you go ahead and get the bracelets and hope they can wear them for a while before any more children are added to the family? ]]> July - August 2009 jbanz http://www.themommyplaybook.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176544 First Dr. Visit(s) Question http://www.themommyplaybook.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176543&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:22:36 GMT Can you all tell me when and what happens at your visits? I'm most concerned about the heartbeat and US. I called to make an appt. w/my new OBGYN for an annual exam, not knowing I was pregnant yet. Appt. was for 1/4/10 and the receptionist said if I got pregnant before then they would move up my appointment and change the reason. She said my first visit would be more medical history, etc. then the next visit would be with the Dr. Since I've had a m/c before she said they would see me at 6 weeks instead of the usual 8.

Well, got my BFP today and called to setup my appointments. I talked to a different girl who scheduled me for 12/4 for the 1st appointment and 1/2 for the second with the Dr. That would make me just over 5 weeks for the first appointment and just over 9 weeks for the visit with the Dr.

Does that seem right? I'm afraid it will be too early on the 4th to hear a heartbeat and the visit with the Dr. seems so far off. Am I too worried or should I call back to clarify and possibly reschedule?

That's what I get for getting so excited to call and make the appointment that I did it while driving home instead of sitting down in front of my calendar! ]]> July - August 2010 Due Date Club lmz319 http://www.themommyplaybook.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176543 I feel soooooooo stupid http://www.themommyplaybook.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176542&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:56:10 GMT So I am finally getting around to listening to the presentation about babymaking on FF and I am...

:duh: I apparently know NOTHING about fertility or OPK's or hormones or anything for that matter :ranting:

I hope I can figure it out before AF rolls into town again so I can get my BFP next cycle. ]]> Trying To Conceive Mommy_Wanna_Be http://www.themommyplaybook.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176542 Santa http://www.themommyplaybook.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176541&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:51:15 GMT Thought this might be a good spot to share pics with Santa.

Yes, we did this really early but we had taken Carleigh to get her Xmas portraits done and Santa was already there. Figured we'd do it before the mad rush after Thanksgiving. :)

Just got my BFP (x3) today!!! And ironically a good friend of mine called to tell... Hello Ladies!

Just got my BFP (x3) today!!! And ironically a good friend of mine called to tell me she is also pregnant and I should be due on her birthday! She said, "I'm having a baby!" And I wanted to scream "ME TOO!!! On your birthday!" But I didn't...I haven't told a soul. Well, except TMP. :thumb: I know I can trust you girls.

I have been debating all day when I'm going to tell DH. He once told me I had better not tell him until I'm ready to tell the world knowing I want to wait until we're past the first trimester. Seems like a pretty big challenge to me! I have another good friend who kept it to herself for the whole 3 months! She knew her DH couldn't keep a secret either. I know there are people who are upset about not telling DH right away but I'm thinking I might try to wait.

I am really nervous as I've had a M/C in the past, it's been 5 years. (Another marriage/another life, etc.) I should have no other reason to be concerned but I am. My life just keeps getting more perfect so I feel like eventually it's going to slap me in the face.

Anyway, focusing on the positive...how perfect is this timeline?

11/06 - Met DH
11/07 - Got engaged
11/08 - Got married
11/09 - Got pregnant!!!!

What could we possibly do 11/10 to keep up this trend?!

So, as I said, very glad to join you all here! Best wishes for a H&H 9 months to all of you! ]]> July - August 2010 Due Date Club lmz319 http://www.themommyplaybook.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176540 Black Friday preview deals!! http://www.themommyplaybook.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176539&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:40:42 GMT I will have various deals throughout the day - I like to change things up :)
