I am so tired that I can barely hold my head up. I just want to sleep all day (too bad Abbie won't let me). I worked yesterday instead of today because we are going to the Eagles concert tonight. I am so tired that I don't want to go. Alex is having a hard time at work and is not really excited about going either. We talked about scalping our tickets (the show is sold out) kind of in a joking way but I think we both may have been half way serious. We probably would scalp them but we are going with a bunch of people from Alex's work (including his boss), so it's probably not a good idea to flake. We can write it off as a business expense though-since it is considered "networking". Tomorrow Abbie has a field trip to the pumpkin patch for preschool-I know I am going to be dragging. I have a lot to say but I am just too tired to type anymore. I'll talk to you girls later.
Love amanda

Kristina: Happy Thursday! I hope you are having a wonderful day!
Amanda: I just want to give you a hug! I hope you got some sleep. How was the concert? How was the trip to the pumpkin patch? I cannot wait to hear all about both!
I feel like the last two weeks have taken for ever, the ttw is going to be horrible this month. At least I have Diane and Jennifer going though it at the same time I am. My temp went down a bit today, so my guess is that today is Ovulation day, but I will have to wait until I have tomorrows temps to be sure. We have had sex like rabbits this month, so I hope and pray that this is it! I read on Fertility Friend that if your hubby's sperm count is normal then you can baby dance at least every 24 hours... so since we have had two BFP's then I am going to assume that his spermies are fine, and that baby dancing constantly is a must... if we do not get a BFP within the next three cycles then we will have him get a s/a!
Talk to you both soon!

Kristina: I hope I am not out of line by asking this... but I was wondering if you felt more at ease now that you made it past the 6 week mark. I noticed that is how far along you were when you had your m/c. The reason I ask, is that I had a m/c at 8 w6d, and I almost look at that mark as a victory.. I concentrate on getting a BFP, then making is past that date.. does that sound weird?? Do either of you think that way? If not, then tell me to shut up, and I will never bring it up again! lol
Love, Jacque

Jacque,
Your not out of line asking that question because lately it's on my mind all the time and I think that is why I can't sleep at night.
I guess my mind will be at eased a little when I go for my sonogram I will be 7 1/2 wks then. I hope and pray this time they could see the beans heart beat and also that this one sticks.
Last time I cramped so bad at night and during the day it was a terrible feeling. And this time around I feel no cramping at all very weird.
How was your first pregnancy compared to your second pregnancy?
KRISTINA

Well I ended up not going to the concert last night because I was having horrible m/s and was exhausted. Alex went and said it was the best concert he had ever been to (figures). But he didn't get home until 1 am so I'm glad I did not go because I got a full nights sleep last night and I'm still tired. So we get to the pumpkin patch this morning and Abbie tells me she has a stomachache-I don't think much of it because she says that at least 10 times a day. I ask her if she wants to go home and she says no, so we go. She's fine for about an hour and is running around with the other kids. Then she tells her friend's mom that she has a stomachache. This woman tells me and I tell her that I don't put much stock in that because she says it all the time and then we laugh. A few minutes later Abbie asks me to carry her (very unlike her). So I pick her up and she is on fire. I ask her if she wants to leave and she says"yes, mama, I just want to go home". I feel horrible. We got home and her temp is 102. I am the worst mom! The worst part is that I told that other mom that she was faking even though she wasn't. Poor baby. I really feel horrible about it. She is laying on the couch watching Aristocats now. She won't eat anything. I feel awful!! I am not feeling so hot myself. I haven't thrown up yet but I'm sure that is coming soon too.
Well I think I will feel better when I make it past my miscarriage date. I have a long ways to go though since I was 12 weeks. That's why I want an early US so badly. I think I would actually feel better if I had more cramping because I had horrific cramps with Abbie, not so many with my last pg, and with this one I have less than with Abbie but more than last time.
Uh-oh I hear Abbie crying- need to go!

Crisis averted-the dog was laying on her blankie.
Jacque-I'm sure Mike's swimmers are fine-you have gotten pg twice-I wouldn't concern yourself about it too much. Good luck-I hope today is your O day!!!
So our nanny is pg and she told Abbie on Tuesday that she had a baby growing in her tummy. Abbie then told her "My mommy has a baby growing in her tummy too!" So when Alex got home the nanny asked him if I was pg and told him the story-so he had to say yes. I have no idea how far along she is and I am disappointed because she JUST divorced her husband and now she's pg with some new guy's baby. She is 27 and has a 12 year old DD (yes, she was 15). She just seems to get flakier and flakier the longer we know her. When we first hired her she was married (to her DDs dad), was a SAHM who needed extra money. Then she leaves her husband, gets a full time job (but she still watches Abbie on her days off) gets an apartment, moves in with this guy, her car got repossessed a few weeks ago, and her "look" has totally changed-she dresses like a 15 year old, dyes her hair a new color every other week-Alex says she looks like Cindy Lauper. Oh-new piercings and tattoos too. I know that she didn't have a childhood because of having her DD so young-but she had it all together, and now she's a mess. She loves Abbie and Abbie loves her, but I don't know if we are going to be able to keep her on. Especially if she's going to have a baby-I don't think she'll be able to take care of Abbie, our baby, and her baby at the same time, in addition to dropping off and picking up her DD from school and activities and all that. I am in a quandry. I guess I have a few months to figure it out. Alex says he doesn't want Abbie in in-home daycare or a daycare center- he wants to find someone else like Holly who will come to our house-I don't know if we'll get that lucky again-plus she's dirt cheap and willing to work the crazy hours that we do. What a mess!
Also, when I was at work on Tuesday one of the other nurses corners me in the medication room and says "You're pregnant again, aren't you?". I couldn't lie. I told her that I wasn't ready to announce it yet and she promised she wouldn't say anything. She said I'm so skinny normally that she could tell because I looked tired and bloated-then she tried to backtrack and say-"Well, I know you'll be glowing soon though". She is actually very nice and I like her quite a bit so I wasn't mad. But if she could tell I don't know how much longer I'll be able to keep it from my parents since we see them a couple of times a week. Plus I can't imagine Abbie not telling them soon-but she has seen them twice since Alex told her and she hasn't said anything-so maybe.
Love and sticky babydust! Amanda

Hi ladies! I have so much to say! I love post where I just have so much to share... the only thing is that it takes me 10 years to type it all out... that is why this post will be short, and I will type my real one later tonight because now I have to get Kailey from school, then I have to surrender the computer to Mike until late tonight (he has online finals today!)... so don't think i forgot about you, it will just be until late tonight until I can properly respond. But, I did not want this to wait until later.... AMANDA! You are a wonderful mom. I think we have all done that with our kids, sure you feel bad.... but when they are that young and they tell you all to often that their tummy hurts, how are you supposed to know when to believe them. Do not worry about it! If you do not believe me, then go ask Abbie who the best mom in the entire world is... I am sure she will set you straight! Love and Jacque

Well Abbie was up a couple times in the night with her fever. She isn't really acting sick-she's just got a high fever and she sounds congested. OTW she is running around and playing like usual. Oh and she's still not eating much. She had a little cream of wheat for breakfast and a piece of cheese later in the morning. She refused to eat lunch. Which reminds me that she hasn't drank anything in a while-I need to get her some fluids! When Abbie got up this morning at 4am I decided that I was dying of thirst so I drank a big glass of apple juice-10 minutes later it all came back. And so it begins.......morning sickness in full force. I have been laying on the couch most of this morning. I just ate a little lunch and feel a teeny bit better so hopefully this afternoon I will get some stuff done around the house. I still feel like I could sleep all day. I can't wait until this phase passes-and it just started!!
I hope everyone is well. Any weekend plans?
Jacque-can't wait for your "big post", tell Mike good luck on his finals.
Love and sticky babydust! Amanda

Ok... First I will do personals, and then I will fill you in on what has all been going on at the Komnick house! Kristina: My pregnancies were totally different. With Kailey I had horrible morning sickness - I threw up at least 3 times a day every day. I also slept all of the time AND I was the epidiomy of the worlds largest walking mood swing. With Kailey I also started to show at 5 weeks (yes, I am so serious!) BUT most importantly I felt pregnant, I knew the baby inside of me was safe, and that I was going to carry her full term. I could imagine my life with her and it was the best feeling in the world. ---- With Trent, I knew I was going to have a m/c. I feel awful saying this, but I knew that something was not right, I knew that he was not going to make it. I did not have any type of bod with him, I could not get excited about him (God knows I tried) but we knew that something was not right. Of coarse we were just devastated when we lost him, it felt like it was the end of the world, but now... months later looking back I knew that it was coming. I knew that we were going to loose him. Since our loss I have talked to other women who had a m/c and over half of them had that same feeling that I did.... that made me feel a MILLION times better. I know that this next baby will be fine, and that he will be born happy and heatly... just like your next baby. We are here to talk, we know what you have been through, never ever hesitate to ask us any questions or just vent about what is going on. Amanda: I told you I was going to have a novel... and I have not even gotten to you or what has been going on with me yet! ---- Sorry that you missed the concert, but it will give you a good story after the baby is born, you can tell them all about how you missed the best concert ever because you stayed at home and rested because you knew that was best for you and the baby... ---- How is Abbie feeling? I hope she perked up in time for the weekend? Did you have anything special planned? ---- As for your nanny... get rid of her. I know you love her and that Abbie loves her, and that she loves Abbie. BUT Abbie is now getting old enough to be very observant of those around her, EVERYONE that is a part of her life is a role model... plus two newborns and a 3 year old is alot, I could not do it, and I take care of kids for a living! What are your other options when it comes to child care? At least you have a while to decided, well at least the rest of your pregnancy and Maternity leave! Can you believe that you are already almost 8 weeks! ---- That is so funny that your co worker said she knew your were pregnant because you were tried and bloated... screw the "pregnant glow" all pregnant women look bloated and tired... I am sure you look beautiful! ---- Morning sickness is here! I am so happy for you! Remember, Morning sickness is a good thing, it means that little baby of yours is making himself at home! Mikes Finals went well! He thinks he got an A on both of them... which does not surprise me, he has a 4.0 grad point average.... and he is more then half way done with school! I am going to catch up on personals on my other buddy groups and then I will post the update on me! Love and super sticky baby dust! Jacque

Hello all! Well I worked on Saturday and I felt pretty crappy most of the day and I even layed down and took a quick nap on my lunch break. I signed up for all these extra shifts in November and I don't know how I'm going to do it (I signed up in early September before I was pg). I'll just have to think of all the extra money I'll have to decorate the baby's room! Sunday I felt like I was moving through molasses-I just could not get up and moving. I could tell Alex was a little peeved that I wasn't up doing more but I think he understands so he didn't say anything. Abbie went to Six Flags Marine World with my dad on Saturday (a big amusement park that also has animal attractions-like whales, dolphins, sea lions etc). Then she wanted to stay the night with my parents so I got to sleep in Sunday morning. Then last night I fell asleep on the couch at like 9:30 and Alex dragged me upstairs around 10:30. Surprisingly Abbie didn't get up until 8 this morning, so I slept in again. That's 10 and a half hours of sleep and I soooo desperately want to take a nap. My best friend said to me "Don't apologize for being tired-it's hard work to grow a whole other person!" That helps put things in perspective. MS is still hanging about-I haven't thrown up again but I just turn up my nose at everything-even water sounds gross-literally. Thankfully there seems to be about 4 hours a day where I feel okay-so I have been trying to get stuff done during those 4 hours and lazing around the rest of the time. I am getting dehydrated though so I need to be mindful of drinking fluids-they just sound so gross to me! Right now I am drinking a watered down flat orange soda through a straw-it's all that I can stomach.
Jacque-You're right-I need to lose our nanny. I think I've known that in the back of my mind-but it was so much work to find her, then we went through the expense of running a background check, getting her driving record, making sure her husband wasn't a sex offender-the whole bit. I just can't imagine doing it all over-but we will because we need to do what's best for our daughter. So you are in the TWW! When is your test day?
Kristina-How are you feeling? I saw on another thread that you got your US scheduled-yay!! I don't go back to the Dr. until Nov. 3 so I'll find out then when I can have one!!!
Love and sticky babydust! Amanda

Now... ALL ABOUT ME!!! I feel bad, I did not mean to make it sound like I had earth shattering news. I just had alot of awesome things that happened over the last few days that I wanted to share with everyone. Kailey has spent as much time at tumbling as I do on the computer! lol We have been going to practice almost every night over the last few days, she has a big meet this weekend, and our tumbling center is hosting it.... which means... that Jacque is an idiot and volunteered to help. This is all ok though, because the people at Patti's Gym are not the type that take advantage of your kindness. She has two passes in the beginners portion of the tournament, front roll/front roll splits and back roll/back roll splits. Last time she performed she got first place, but now she is in a higher class... so this will be much harder for her. The AOH party was on Saturday from 2pm-9pm. We had so much fun, I have so many photos to share with everyone. We had a pumpkin decorating contest, bobbed for apples, had a mummy wrap race, and played bingo. We had an awesome time. Believe it or not, this was the first time I have ever bobbed for apples and it took me only 4 seconds to get one! I was so proud of myself! I made a Giant Harry Potter for the Pumpkin Contest, it looked perfect, Mike took a photo of that also, so I will post it under the pumpkin decorating photo either later tonight or tomorrow by nap time. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire comes out in less then 25 days! I am so excited!!! This was one of my favorite books, and cannot wait to see it on the big screen, we already have plans to see it the Friday and Saturday night of the weekend that comes out! Is anyone else as excited as I am to see this? Feeling positive about this cycle. Last cycle I was also, but this time it is different. It actually feels real, not something that I am just praying for... the other cycles it just seemed like something that may happen someday, but now it feels like this could be it. So far I feel fine... I am a little more emotional and tired, but that could just be because of the weekend we had. So, time will tell. I plan on testing on November 2nd or 3rd... I will try my hardest to hold out until then, but as you know I am a POAS addict and will probably start testing by the end of the week! The Nursery has had more major updates, the Giraffe is now finished, and I have been spending so much time on the sky. I want it to be done so bad. But I also want it done right, so I must be patient. Either way, I set back my goal date... I wanted it done by Halloween, now I want it done by Thanksgiving.... We have having people over, and I would like to show the room off.... especially since I will (hopefully) be pregnant then! I will let you know when I get the site updated with the new photos... but I do not think I will get to it until at least tomarrow night. Mike's Finals are complete, and he thinks he did a good job. He only has one year left and he has a 4.0 GPA, so I have come to understand that doing a good job usually translates as doing a freakin awesome job.. my guess is that he will pull through a couple more A's!!! I had this next paragraph in a post for Mandi,I wanted to share it with you also.... I know that you both have your BFP, but you have also been in my place, so I wanted you to read it also.... I want you to remember this story next time you see a pregnant woman - A few weeks ago I went to the store to pick up a few things, when I got out of the van there was this family walking up to the store... the mom on the left, the dad on the right, and the most beautiful little boy holding both of their hands. I had tears come to my eyes, for some reason seeing him made me think of Trent. Then the mom turned around....... she was pregnant, it looked like she was about to have her baby within the next few months..... the next day I went to Kailey's school and there were three newborn babies, later that night at WalMart I saw 6 pregnant women in the span of about 10 minutes.... So I know exactly what you mean about seeing pregnant woman and babies everywhere. I used to see it as a sad thing - they were pregnant and not me... but then a few days ago Kailey saw a pregnant woman and said, hey mommy look - that lady is going to have a baby. Before I can respond she says - I like it when I see pregnant mommies, it reminds me that someday soon you are going to have a baby also. So from now on I am going see pregnant woman as a reminder of what is to come, not what I have lost..... I thought you could appreciate this. It was a happy thought, and it has really helped me out over the last few days. I was worried that Christmas would not be very merry this year, especially since Trent was due on December 18th. I was planning on Santa bringing gifts for two kids this year, but every since Kailey pointed out what WILL come I feel alot better, I have my sad moments... but they are usually overshadowed by happy once! Thanksgiving is less then a month away, and with that comes the fun fest at Kailey's school. This might sound awful, but I hope I find out I am pregnant this month so I do not have to help with it. I feel so bad, and do not want to use a baby for a reason to be lazy, but the fun fest is SO MUCH WORK and NO ONE WANTS TO HELP. I get so stressed that I feel like I just want to curl into the fetal position and cry in the corner every time I think about having to help..... so I pray that this is it and that I can begin to relax even more. I will be able to take better care of myself and spend more cuddle time with Kailey.... Do you think i am awful for looking at it like this? One more thing... Mike's parents found out about Trent and they are PISSED that we did not tell them that I was pregnant. They do not understand waiting until the 12 month mark, and now they think we are keeping all kinds of secrets from them... mind you these are terrible people, they do not even acknowledge their son's birthday, they only care about themselves, and we very rarely talk to them. Now they will not return our calls... I am trying to be nice and invite them over for Thanksgiving.... what should I do? I would appreciate ANY advice on the matter! OK, that is all.... my fingers are cramping and feel like they are going to fall off, I shall never wait so long to type a "me" update again! Love and baby dust! Jacque

My temps went up again today, my temps are usually not this high at 4 DPO... I hope this is a good sign. Go figure, I relaxed when it came to TTC, now that we are in the TWW I am probably going to obsess like a total freak. ;D
Look at my chart (if you have time) and celebrate with me! woohoo!!!
So my dear preggos, how are you doing today?

CRAPPY! I want to crawl in a hole and die. I HAD to grocery shop today because I fixed Abbie eggs for dinner last night because we didn't have anything else to eat. I have decided that the grocery store is the worst smelling place on the entire planet. I had my prenatal labs drawn today too. My house is falling down around me and the laundry is piling up and I just have NO energy to do any housework. Sorry to complain so much.
Kristina-I hope you are faring better than myself!
Jacque-Just think-very soon you too will want to crawl in a hole and die! I bet you can't wait!!!
Love and sticky babydust! Amanda
PS How many more weeks of this do I have? 6? OHHHHHH NOOOOOOO!

Amanda,
Sorry that you have been feeling so horrible hopefully it will get better for you soon.
Yesterday was the first time I felt m/s on the bus to work. It felt horrible like I was going to throw any minute but I really don't want to on the bus. What do I do for m/s on the bus?? Also I've been falling asleep around 8:30 every night.
My last pregnancy I never felt that way at all. Hopefully that is a good sign for me.
Jacque: I hope you get your BFP this month!!!! I will be praying for you.

Kristina and Amanda!!! WOOHOO for being sick and tired!!! That is such good news, just remember... morning sickness and being tired are good things... this means your baby is making itself right at home! Soon you will be done with your first Trimester and then you will hopefully feel better... just keep in mind that the longest this can last is for 8 more months!
I feel like hell also... I hope this is a sign of good things to come!
Love and super sticky healthy babydust!
Jacque
