The waiting - May 2nd 2013

Today is the day i've been dreading since my little boy was born, jabs. He had his first set of jabs this afternoon, he cried his little heart out, mot for too long though which made it so much easier to cope with. I gave him some capol when we left and he seems ok, he had his jabs 2 hours ago. he's had he's feed as usally and is now sleeping on my chest. He seems his normal self which is great, i'm just worried he'll be restless tonight. Only time will tell.

I handed in my notice at work today, to say i won't be coming back after mat leave,  my manager knew that anyway, he said that he knew i wouldn't and that it was a shame that i wasn't coming back as they could have done with me coming back, as i'm the fastest cashier there.
Always nice to know you did well at work. Customers always did say i was fast and for that reason they liked coming to me. I am gutted i'm not going back i loved working there (most days).

Even though we are not trying untill my next cycle or till he's 3 month, i still did all the charting and opk testing. I had my first positive opk today my temp dip and cervix postion match that as well, sorry that might have been a bit of a tmi moment. Like i said yesturday i am in two minds if whether i want to start trying for our second now, our first is only 9 weeks old and i did have to get induced and have an EMCS, which is making me want to wait till he is 3 months. I am also going out on the 25th, which means by that point if it was to work first time i would have had a positive pregnancy test by then. I think it will just be best to wait, i would love to have a january baby, if i was to fall pregnant this cycle baby would be due on the 24th, 2 month before my little ones due date was.

I still have a sleeping baby on my chest so i'm going to enjoy the cuddles before the husband comes home.

I have a poorly baby on my hands today, my little guy has a bit diarrhea, he hadn't had a poo since monday morning i think thats why he has it today bless him. He's done well for a premi baby, first time he's not been well has he 9 weeks tomorrow.

At the moment i'm in two minds, i want to ask hubby if we can start trying now being the begining of the month and if my cycles have returned to normal then i should ovualte tomorrow or saturday, but on the other hand i'm going out on the 25th with a few girls in my area, and will more then likly have a drink or two and i don't really want to drink if there would be a chance of me being pregnant.
I was pregnant last time i had a drink but i would have concieve 2 or 3 days before hand so there was no way of me knowing at that time. I sometimes think it was because of that, that my little boy got IUGR. but i'm only 5ft my self and a UK 10, and i only put on 15lbs in my whole pregnancy. The only time i actaully wanted to put weight on and i struggled, people didn't even notice i was pregnant untill i was about 32 33 weeks. I did love having a small tidy bump though.

 

That's the biggest i got, this was the last baby bump picture i took before i got induced at 36+4 weeks.

It was lovely having a small bump, it meant i could just about fit in all my favourite tops and i got hardly any stretch marks, i thinking useing coco butter helped though.

Hi blog readers :).
If we were trying at the start of may tomorrow would be the start of TTCing, but we're not :(, still have to wait for my next cycle, if my cycles return to the way they were before i got pregnant with my son then i think it will be friday that i'll ovulate. If not then i have no idea, I brought another pack of ovulation tests today, different brand this time though. The same ones that helped me to get pregnant with my son, I found them to be just as good as the clearblue ones and a lot cheaper a saving of almost £14.

Got my son weighed this morning, he's now 6lb 8oz, We also went to a baby massage group, which i think he would have enjoyed more if he wasn't hungry. He did however love having his back massage, he pretty much feel asleep, Note to self though never take a sleeping baby out of the car seat, they'll wake up as soon as you put them in their mosey basket and then cry and cry untill you pick them up. I really do have a cuddle baby, which is nice on one hand but on the other hand it makes it very hard to do any house work. I usually wait for the hubby to come home from work so i can do some.

Well yesturday was pretty busy, had to see my parents as they havan't seen my little one in a while, my niece was actaully pretty good with wanted lots of hugs and kisses. So much better then she was the first time she meet him. She thouht he was a doll, thats kinda understandable though, he was the size of one of her dolls, After seeing my parents we went to my hubbys parents as we were getting their old sofa and chair, I love them they are so comfy, they sink a bit now but they are old. After hubby dropped of the chairs to ours he came back and we had sunday dinner there. As we do every sunday since we found out i was pregnant with our son. it was a lovely beef stew.

Today i woke up a 4am feeling really sick, actaully threw up twice, other then in pregnancy i'm hardly ever actaully being sick, so have so idea what made me sick. hubby went to work told them i'd been sick and wasn't well, they sent him home so he could help out with looking after our son. Good job he came home when he did. Our son's nappy smelt really bad, i was just about to change him when he walked in the door, i think if he hadn't of walked in then i would have most likly thrown up on our son. I went back to sleep for a little after that. I was so so tired. Feel better then i did do although havan't manage to pick up the courge to eat yet.  although i am getting pretty hungry.

About the waitng as i said earlier we went to my parents yesturday. I'd been in there all of about 5 minutes before my step-mum asked when are you going to start trying for the next. she seem pretty excited when I said after my next cycle.

So last night i started asking my husband if we could maybe start trying a little earlier. I know it's only 4 week to wait but I also know it's going to be the longest 4 weeks of my life, he said that we could starting trying for our second when i've had my next period which hopefully will be in about 3 weeks time. providing my cycles have gone back to the way they were a few months before i got pregnant with my son. I don't really fancy it going all over the place again, and i don't really want another chemical pregnancy for them to go monthly again.

I told myself that i'll only use the charting method for the first few months, but i went in to a cheapy shop and found they did ovulation tests. A pack of 5 for a £1. I thought why not it's only a pound. i know they might not be any good being that cheap but can't be any worse then the Tesco's one i brought before i got pregnant.

Ok so I thought i'd start a blog about the waiting the trying and the pregnancy. I thought it would be nice to look back on in the years to come.

Ok so my first baby was born 8 weeks ago. I had to be induced with him at 36 weeks and 4 days, He had IUGR and as a result stopped growing, He weighed 4lb 6oz when we was born, he had problems trying to control his blood sugar levels and his temp, but luckly was aloud home just 2 days after his birth. He gets weighed weekly at his last weigh in he was 5lb 14oz. He's doing pretty well for a premi.

Anyway because of how long it took to fall pregnant with our son we said we wanted to try when he's 3 months old, i had a EMCS so thought that it might delay us trying again. when I went for my 6 PP check we spoke about protecting and when i said i didn't want to go on the pill because it took 25 month to fall pregnant with my son and that because of that we want to start trying again when he's 3 months the doctor didn't saying anything about not doing it, he didn't say anything actaully. So we've taken that as a green light to go. That dose mean that we will start trying again in 4 weeks. May 23rd is our start date.

Quite a few people will think i'm crazy for trying so soon, even more so because my baby has IUGR and because i had a EMCS. But we want more.

At first we said we'd have 4 children but have now changed that to 2, because of hubby's job it means having to move every few years and thats not fair on children having to keep starting to new schools and making new friends. We are hoping for a girl next so then we'd have one of each. I just know they next one is not going to be a chilled as my son is.
