@DiviniumLiv - I used the tools on the picture you posted in the gallery. It is super faint but I think I see the start of something. I think waiting until Friday to test again is a good idea. Fingers crossed for you hun!

@Dragonfly23 - Look at that baby bump! Thank you for sharing

Hello Ladies! :)
@dragonfly23: the Baby Bump is looking great! Almost 27 weeks! whoo hooo!

I haven't been posting here much recently (besides private messages). But some of you might remember me. My first post here was when I was 4 DPO and when I was suspecting already that I was pregnant with my rainbow baby (after having a miscarriage). I just had a "feeling" then that I was pregnant again and I was correct! It was despite everything they say as far as knowing that at 4 dpo... It was just my intuition. :)

So a little update: I'm now 37 weeks 2 days pregnant! And I'm expecting my little boy around July 30th. So only 2 weeks 5 days left now! Somehow, I feel it's gonna happen sooner though... My hospital bag is packed pretty much and we're awaiting our little one. Please keep your fingers crossed for us!

I hope all is well with you all. And that those who are expecting are having easy, healthy pregnancies. And those who are TTC are going to succeed soon.

I thought I'd make this post also to share some good vibes cause I know that TTC can be a journey and can take time and patience... I've been there and I also felt sad after the miscarriage which was adding to my stress. But I didn't give up and I'm so happy I didn't! Now, I'm getting close to meeting my little boy. I had dreams about him very early after conception and before I knew the gender. :) I saw a boy in my dreams. And I hope all goes well with the delivery soon.

to everybody! :)

Hope4raimbowbaby-Omg I can’t believe it’s been that long already!!!! you will be holding your baby boy soon.

I’m still waiting on my rainbow baby but I know it will happen soon.

Hello Beaut1ful38!

YES - it will happen for you, too! I know it's hard to wait and I had my doubts about this ever happening. And here I am now: approaching 38 weeks (in a few days) of being pregnant and feeling my boy move A LOT! I had a doctor appointment yesterday with the internal exam and I'm at 50-60% effacement and 2 cm dilated. Things are becoming more and more real!
What helped me: staying positive, visualizing what I DO want and taking some natural supplements + using OPKs. It happened naturally then and when I also tried to relax.

Time goes by so fast indeed! :) Now I'm getting ready for the birth and have my hospital bag packed pretty much.

I'll keep fingers crossed for you and for the conception to happen very soon for you!

@hope4rainbowbaby - So good to see your update! I hope you have a good delivery and keep us updated on when he is born. You will be holding that little rainbow soon.

I'm over 9 weeks now and looking forward to showing sometime next month maybe? I'm not really sure when that will be. We have started to share the news with some friends but will wait until after my 12 week appointment to share with most everybody. I'm starting to feel like I should tell work as there are physical things I don't think I should be doing... I'll try and hold out for 12 weeks though.

@FlamingoGirl13: OMG!!! !!! This is wonderful news! 9 weeks pregnant! Do take good care of yourself now and if your intuition tells you that you should start taking it easy at work, listen to it. :) I am a hard worker, but I stopped working when I felt it could be unhealthy or even potentially dangerous. It all depends on the individual situation and also on what kind of tasks are necessary to do at a specific work situation.
And it's such an exciting time to start sharing the news! :) It's all personal too as far as when to tell.

I'm SO happy for you!!

I'll keep you updated on my little fellow and his Big Arrival.

Hi ladies. I may be quiet for a few days but I can use some prayers. Got some horrible news late last night. My daddy had surgery Monday and everything went well and he was sent home Wednesday morning. Around 10:00pm Wednesday night, we receiced a phone call from my dad telling us that my mom had a minor stroke. Daddy says that they caught it early and have given her medication and that she is going to be fine. I'm still in a bit of shock and thought it was all a dream but it really happened.

On a side note, I would like to start potty training my daughter but we are having issues. The main issue is that she doesn't tell us if she's peed or pooped and by the time we catch on it's too late and it's horrible (poop) so I am not sure what to do there and it is setting back the training process. I just have another quick question? What are little movers diaper pants and what are the benefits of using them? Should I invest in those or pull ups? Thanks ladies, any advice is greatly appreciated.

@dragonfly23: Oh no!! I'm SO sorry to hear about the bad news... I hope your Dad is doing well after the surgery and I hope that your Mom will recover fast from the stroke. Prayers for them both and for you! It's good that they caught the stroke early and that the prognosis is good. Good thoughts, vibes and energy coming to you!

I wish I could help about potty training, but I have no experience with it yet... I guess I only heard that people try to encourage going to the bathroom frequently (and sort of on a schedule) to minimize the room for error and praise for doing it there... But I this is only what I've heard (no personal experience that I can share);

Dragonfly, the little movers are diapers that fit better for crawling and walking babies. My dd leaked through them. We use pull up since 1.5 yrs. Potty training is atill in progress for me to. Dd is 2yr4m. She was trained but started taking her to daycare a month after potty training and they dont work with her and she has regressed. We watch potty videos, got a seat for big potty and a step stool to stand on and just put her on after eating, drinking, or about every hour. It is a grueling process. Training panties help us (they are regular panties with a very thick lining in crotch). When she would pee, it would go down her legs and she didnt like that.

Hopeforrainbowbaby, congrats! The time does fly! I cant believe he's almost here. I am currently 18w5d. I still read all the posts i was on but dont comment much. Glad to hear you are doing well!
