Baby Dust 4...POUF!

[katebud]

Hi Everyone!  I'm so excited to start the 4th long post.  :)  

Tonight I am having some light cramps on my right abdomen.  I bought a test (hopefully it will work) to take on the morning of Father's Day, the 15th!  :)

I am curious, I know I've read/heard a lot of ladies say, but all of you out there who are mommies or soon to be:  How did you tell your significant other about the pregnancy and upcoming parenthood and what was their reaction?  

Thank you!
~Your Katebud~

katebud-i had the metalic taste...i still sometimes get a weird taste in my mouth.

keeks-i'm not afraid yet either...  my childbirth classes start in a week so many i will freak out then.  i am considering a water birth.  and i am also hoping for a 5-8 hour labor.  maybe closer to 5 hours ;-)  we are getting close girl!!  can you believe it!?!?!?  my husband is upstairs preparing our nursery walls for painting this very moment!!!  i will post pictures as soon as it's ready.  my personal deadline has been bumped to july 10th.  

jamie-i can't believe it's almost time for you to learn the gender!  how exciting!!

joyce-when we were barely trying is when it happened for us...we were so caught up in moving to our new house that the baby making wasn't on our minds as much.  we were so busy that we only "baby danced" one time that cycle and hit the jackpot!!!  good luck girl!

To tell if I was ovulating I did alot of cm google search, and checked it all the time, and I think that is why I got pregnant right a way, but I have no idea!!

been kinda crampy...last night was right side...felt like it was under my hipbone and today the same feeling on left side...could that be ovulation?  i checked FF and it is saying that the last 3 days were fertile days due to cm, but i dont know...cm is creamy but it's like that alot, still no ewcm.
oh well i guess i will just keep watching...lol

Oh, reading all your lovely stories and posts has given me hope!

I've been ttc for 6 months... going for testing soon. Staying positive tho :D

Thank you so much for helping me feel better (even if you didn't know I existed!)

Hugs,

OMG i sit here and read all of your stories, and i am sooo excited for all of you.  i am not sure if i am even really trying to ttc anymore, or just doing as i said before, and going with the flow.  but it is hard to not stress and just go with it when you want it so badly.  but i am in my 2nd full cycle without IUD...and so far it doesnt look like it is gonna be any shorter, but we can always hope.  CD19 for me...so hopefully i will O soon, although according to ff i should be Oing now, just because of watery cm.  idk, anyhow i wish all of you a happy and healthy 9 months or at least the rest of your time until delivery...i am not around much anymore, but i do check in once in awhile to see how my girls are doing....hugs and luv to you all

Jamie ~ Cute pics! You have such a cute little bump!!.....I bet your getting excited almost into your 2nd trimester! How crazy is that! lol.....Time flies!......How are your boys doing? Potty training still going okay?.....Have you explained the baby to them yet or talked about it?.....They will be such cute big brothers!!......I cant wait for you to find out the gender! Not too much longer at all! YAY

Krissy ~ I heard that on a baby story too!.....I dont know how true it is but one can only hope!......However like Princess said , its almost better to have a decent labour because of shock & such.......Somewhere between like 5-8 hours would probably be good , thats what im hoping for LOL.......Are you getting afraid of labour yet?.....for whatever reason , im not at all concerned.....I feel like I should have some fear and I dont .....im just more afraid of a c-section than anything

Katebud ~ Im super excited for you hun!......I never got the metallic taste really , just on occasion , so im not too sure what would get rid of it.....Try googling it and see what other people say works , thats what I do for most things......It should go away though I would hope just your body adjusting to hormones.....Do you have any other symptoms so far??.....Man im so excited for you!!!

Princess ~ You didnt like water either?.....I will drink it but it tastes different now lol....It just tastes more chemically maybe? and I drink bottled Dasani water cause tap water is gross!......Your due the 9th right?......It seems so weird to think we dont have much longer left! Are your older kids getting excited??

Things with me are going okay!........I had another ultrasound today ( 5 in total so far) ....It was supposed to be just to check my cervical length I thought , but she ended up checking Rylen too & we another picture.....Hes fantastic , he was squirming about though and kept kicking off the wand thingy lol , He's still head down , and you could like see him moving his hand , opening & closing & curling his fingers , sooo cute!.....I have an appt with the specalist tommorow so we'll see what he says about the length and everything!.....So far things seem to be fine , I still have alot of pelvic pressure but im pretty sure thats normal....it starts to hurt though & the last 2 nights hes been SO active it like makes my stomach ache like ive been hit my a truck , I cant even bend over or move in the mornings it hurts so bad & I started getting braxton hicks which dont help lol.....But i'll take all of that & a million times more to keep him in for another 9 weeks at least.......I'll post ultrasound pics tommorow! :)

Hope everyone is doing well!!! Have a great weekend!
