Ruby!!! So happy for you right now!

Ruby - I am SO relieved for you! I had great hopes that this was going to be the case. YAY!!! Nope, I wasn't overdue and my Mom said that I actually was very easy - just shot right out! I was the second child and my brother was 10 lbs. 8 oz., so he "paved the way" for me!

Ruby- oh thank goodness! What a relief!! So glad everything is perfect! You have been in my thoughts all weekend:-)

Kelly- honestly, 12lbs?! PLEASE tell me your mother had a c-section! I don't think I've personally known a bigger baby than my husband at 10lbs but his mom had GD with him. Sounds like you are moving along well! Also, very funny about your student, should be interesting, indeed.

Robin-Congrats on lil miss Samantha. How are you feeling now? Sorry I have no input on the tearing and so forth. I hope you feel better soon. How is Samantha doing? I am so happy for you

Kels-How awesome!!!! Isn't it so great to see them squirming and having a blast in there? Even though you have to go back, I think it is pretty cool to see them playing in our tummies Sounds like you might have a big baby in your hands soon. I was 9lbs 10oz when I was born, my mom was 10lbs and I delivered Hayden at 9lbs. Thank god he was breach, because I had already scheduled a c-section And that is too funny about your autistic student

Ruby-Just wanted to say again how extremely happy I am for you. You are one of my role models when it comes to getting your cycles back and progressing forward. I hope this rest of this pregnancy is uneventful.

AFM, I am on CD11, hoping to O soon. But I can't get in the habit of temping i never did it before and I just can't seem to remember to do it. So I ordered OPK's off saveontest.com website, but they are not here yet. I doubt that I am going to O soon, just because this is my first real cycle, but I guess we will see. Hopefully I can start temping soon enough. I think we have decided to start trying this summer, maybe around July when Hayden is 18 months.

ruby - YAYAYAY!!! i'm so happy for you!!!! you know, it just came back to me, but around 7 weeks my symptoms went away for a few days, too! i remember now that i was terrified. how odd that that happens! anyway, ah! this news just makes me day!!!!

[JessK]

Ruby - I am so happy for you! What wonderful news!!!

So, I got the opks and have been using them... pretty easy to do! I Od on CD 18 and am waiting to see how long my LP will be. If I remember correctly from High school, my cycles were ~30-32 days apart which would be a 16 to 18 day O, so I'm thinking this is normal for me. As of now, we plan on trying next month! Excited and scared!

Ruby - remind me again... you BMs'd every other day after AF and then every day starting when?

[allisonr]

Ruby - Oh, I am so happy and relieved for you! That cracks me up about your hubby's question! Your post brought back memories for me, because I remember the tears streaming down my face when I saw that first flicker with Mallory. Big hugs to you!

Ruby - Thank God!!!!!! I was so excited to read your post. Congratulations and enjoy it! WoooooHooooo!!! So funny about DH's comment, too. Gotta love 'em.

Kels - I can't imagine a 12 pound baby "just shooting out" of anywhere, but it's great that your mom recalls it being easy. So crazy!!! I used to babysit for an autistic boy, and I can totally imagine your student's reaction to your pregnancy. It's sad and funny at the same time. Poor guy. Hopefully his aide can help him adjust to being in your impregnated presence

Tac - Good luck with the O!

Jess - Crossing fingers for you and a nice luteal phase.

[Ruby08]

Carol & Allison - so much for checking in!! Have been following both of you on the other board. Allison, good luck with your half marathon, I think I would like to get back to running one day but obviously that will be far down the track! Carol, I hope AF comes soon and am excited for you thinking about ttc again!

Jess - I bms'd every other day after AF and then every day (for 3 days in a row) when got a positive opk. Sounds like your cycles are tracking well already!

Tac - I must say that I found temping really helpful. Opks are good but temping really helped me pinpoint ovulation and track my luteal phase. You should register with fertility friend and then it's easy to plug your temp in each day and let them do the rest with the pretty graphs. Helped me feel more "in control", definitely something that I'm still guilty of in all areas of my life!

Ang - how many weeks are you now? Still feeling good?

Lynne - how about you?
