Hellobee Boards

@Kaohinani: I made an appointment with my family doctor, who doesn’t have a slot until the 13th and then I guess I’ll see what he says. I assume I need a referral to an obgyn if he deems it necessary as we don’t have to go see them here unless there’s an issue. He does my paps and I have seen Midwives at a separate practice when pregnant. If it were me I’d just do all the test for me! Obviously. He may shrug it off, but maybe he’ll surprise me and at the very least rest my thyroid levels since he did that after my first pregnancy, but not my second for some weird reason. Feeling deflated and like the next few months won’t work because whatever issue I have needs to be resolved first, but it is out of my hands. I did tell my husband I though number 3 might be tricky and it’s looking like I was right.

I’m cheerleading all of the wonderful women on this board on and will live vicariously through the bfps!

Anyway, on to Halloween! My eldest is so stoked. It’s birthday/ Christmas level excitement from that little 3 year old. My husband and I are going to each take her out for a little bit down our street like we did last year and the other parent will stay home and hand out candies and probably have the toddler who seems to be terrified of all the “spooky” Halloween decorations that speak and that’s equal parts hilarious and tragic for me!

Go for family costumes as long as possible!

@Kaohinani: I am totally slacking on the halloween front. I made his tie, dyed his shirt, ordered pants, and made his hat... But the hat isn't finished, and his belt hasn't been made. Hell he hasn't even tried anything but the pants on yet. So as soon as I get home the top of the hat will be closed, hat band attached, belt made, cow poop washed off of his rainboots he's wearing, AND then HOPEFULLY he is on board with dressing up... Because well, he's 2, and his mind changes in the blink of an eye. Will post pics if it's not a total bust

@Sams Mom: @yellowbeach: @Kaohinani: All your Halloween costumes are adorable!!!

Just got back trick or treating with the kiddos. It was crowded but super fun. Here is a quick messy pic of my kids cause it was so busy we didnt have time to take good pics. My son was leonardo from teenage mutant ninja turtles and my daughter was snow white.

On a different note I think I have a cyst. I'll let my doctor know. My bloat was supet bad on my left side but I noticed my "bloat" never went away. It got worse and was super painful. Still in a lot of pain right now. It comes on and off.

@Kaohinani: Ha, my first choice would be to dress up in my pajamas and not go to a crowded place full of kids on a sugar high, but I guess that's just because I don't have any of my own. If I did, I would enjoy it just to see their excitement.
Maybe I'd dress up as someone form the Lord of the Rings or the Harry Potter books. Or possibly a pillow (it's 9am, I'm at work and miss my bed already.)

We don't celebrate Halloween, I mean it's getting more and more popular and there are costume parties and stuff, but we don't go trick-or-treating.
We have two days in November that have some similar customs and are with a long history originating from medieval times. People used to go from door to door to get food and bring good fortune to the hosts, but they had to sing or dance for the food first.
Now adults don't do it anymore and even children rarely go. If they do go, they still will not just knock on the door but they'll sing until they're let in and given candy. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be too happy about getting bread and meat nowadays.

So OPK lighter this morning with another uptick in BBT. I guess the truth will tell tomorrow if I get a 3rd day of riding BBT.

Tested this morning, bfn. I know it’s early (9 or 10 dpo) but I’m not feeling it anymore. Maybe for the best, it looks like I’ll probably need back surgery. I’m waiting for an appointment with a couple of surgeons, but the back specialist I’ve been seeing (who does not do surgery) thinks I may have to go that route. I’m going to talk to him about it more today and then y’all to the re to see how long I’d have to wait after that to try again. I’m nervous I’ll run out of eggs

@Kaohinani: I barely sewed this year I bought the shirt and pants, made the hat and the tie, and most of that was done with a hot glue gun

@QBbride: if I finally get knocked up I'll technically be an early august baby, but I have to go at least a week early, so I'll be all in on the July board.

Just got my positive after beginning to think I was never going to get one! Only 11 dpo. So excited though!

@LAZB: I have a freak niche knowledge on back and neck injuries because my husband has 2 fake discs in between C4,C5, & C6; and a whole litany of lower back issues from the same wreck.

@Kaohinani: lol, it is hard to read isn’t it? My doc did just text back (non surgeon) and says it’s pretty much what we discussed (2 herniated and 2 degenerative discs)
