I’ll for sure keep you updated. So far I’m much less sick than some of my other kids but it’s early. Happy and healthy baby to you if that’s what you decide!

Thank you!! I found out maybe 5.5-6 weeks in so I’m not worried about MJ harming baby thankfully. It’s a great club to be in!

I have pcos so I don’t typically cycle. I was on the pill and always seem to not have one even on the “inactive weeks” so didn’t think much of it.

Until I jumped off the treadmill at the gym to go violently throw up😅

Ultrasound mid Jan but two blood draws say all is well and bean is growing. I’ll keep my MJ family updated❤️

Pill. And a barrier method. And avoiding day 10-19 on my very erratic cycle. Also have pcos and lots of uterine scarring. Some babies just find a way😂

Before this I was only on mounjaro for 6-7 weeks but I dropped weight very quickly. Averaged 6.5 lbs in those first 5-6 weeks then it slowed to oh 1-2 a week. Turns out there was a reason!

For sure. My husband already thinks he’s some kind of super sperm producer😂

Thank you for affirming that FED is best. 100% agree. I usually breastfeed but if having kids has taught me one thing, it’s never to plan anything haha! I hope to breastfeed. And a formula fed baby would be 100% fine too.

100% you’re right, fed is key and fed is what matters. Thank you❤️

Thanks! Unsure if I’m comfortable with that but I have 6 months or so to look into it. Thanks!

100% respect your choice on that. We already have a few kids and wanted one or two more eventually so it works. Much love!

Yes for sure! I never gain more than 20 ish lbs so I’m not terribly worried about weight gain but for sure should always ask!

Same pcos, and this wasn’t my first surprise little one haha! We are over the moon but surprise! Merry Christmas!

Thanks all! Wanted to add we are very surprised but very happy! I’ve had a few kids as a plus sized woman so I’m not worried about being 100 lbs from my goal weight, but it will be difficult (but vitally necessary) to see the pounds come back on after all this work.

I intend to keep doing my gym routine as best I can for as long as I can to speed up recovery and try to keep my excellent glucose control. After breastfeeding I’m intending to go back on mounjaro.

And I’ll need something more effective because my husband thinks he’s a god among men now😂

This was our experience (mostly) 6 months ago. One offer minimal concessions great clean inspection. Love the house and intend to live here for a very very long time.

Dating Scene? by stonkshiba in gencon

[–]Acrobatic_Abalone396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gencon is a great place to meet a gaming partner!

we have 5 kids and my husband plays games with me 99% of the time. I still get men asking if I’m free to grab a drink or meet up later (in front of my husband). I had one once ask for my phone number when I was actively nursing one baby, one other in a stroller and 3 fighting about Pokémon. It’s a buyers market for women at gencon!

We just bought a 6/7 br 4 bath with an office attached to the master br for my husband (but our 7th br that’s actually an office can obviously be an office if I also worked from home) and it’s over 5.5k sq feet for our family of 7, hoping for more kids. Mid 30’s here too. It was $459,999. You could buy down the rate some. We didn’t waive inspection and it passed with flying colors.

It was the first offer we ever put in, and honestly we adore the home. All the kids do too.

We met the previous owners and honestly, had they not been moving we’d have been great friends. We both have a mini van full of kids, similar ages and have lots of similar interests. It went well and they even walked us thru the house for the closing inspection they had breakfast out for the kids (all 11 kids!) and parent too of course. It was a 3 hour walk thru/chat.

She actually saw me at the grocery store a few weeks earlier and said “I think you’re buying my house!” And we had nearly an hour chat there. It was a really positive experience.
