Christina, is it easier for you if we post as one continuously updated post or individual posts?
Doing one post each works best Tiffany 😊
Oh good. I’m finding it to be easier for me, too, since I’m usually on my phone. I gave it a second month to see if it got easier with practice, but it didn’t really. Lol, I’m not coordinated enough.
Updated post 😊This week may be a little crazy for me, my sister is being induced into labor on Tuesday at 6am cst
Eeeek exciting times!!!! I’ve still got AGES to go!!!!
Congratulations, Amy! I’ll keep your sister in my prayers!

Tiffany wrote: "Congratulations, Amy! I’ll keep your sister in my prayers!"Thank you! She had a really easy delivery and she and the baby are very healthy! She said she had no pain at all and was done in 15 minutes! 😳 We had to wait three hours. One to find out the baby was born, another two for pictures of him, and then thirty minutes later I got to hold him 😊 He is precious and beautiful ♥️
Awwwwhhhhh what’s his name Amy? How much did he weigh? Is this your sisters first?I meant to say we found out really early but I’m having a boy too!!!! Names are so hard to decide on. Morning sickness has suddenly reappeared at 19 weeks 😭 I finally thought I was over it but nope 👎
His name is William Ryder (will go by Ryder) & his big brother's two and his name is Jason Reid (goes by Reid). They both got their grandfather's first names. Ryder was 7 lbs even and 19 inches 😊

Congratulations on the new blessing on the way! I’m sorry that morning sickness has decided to come back. Will be praying for you!

Hopefully it will stop soon, my sister had medicine from the doctor for morning sickness that she said helped a lot. Maybe you could talk to your doctor's nurse and see if that is an option for you? I'm sorry you're miserable 😞

I’m trying to remember anything that I used to help with morning sickness with my 3. It’s just been so long ago! But I had issues with it, with my first and last pregnancy, and not as much with Cole. With Tori, my oldest, I actually lost weight at first, it was so bad.
I’ve already spoken to my midwife but she’s gone maybe it’ll calm down. It’s not constant, just have a miserable day or two every couple of days 😂 my consultant is absolutely fab though. Because I had Jade at 29 weeks he’s scanning me and checking my cervix every 3 weeks for any signs that I’ll go into preterm labor this time. I’m just hoping to go full term this time, I don’t even care about delivery methods at this point. Although I wouldn’t mind your sisters 15 minute one Amy x
Oh yeah you sound like you're being well taken care of! That's fantastic! I'll be praying for you! You never know as far as delivery goes, maybe you will have a 5 minute push and that's all 😉 I hope you get to go full term too, but more than anything I just hope you and the baby are healthy. She had complications with her first baby and this time she had none. In fact the doctor had to step away for a few minutes to check on a surgical procedure and when he came back it was time for her to push. I just hope he will still be around when I have babies too. He's the same doctor my mom went to when my mom was pregnant with both me & my sister. He is such a good doctor & he took care of me with my miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy & surgeries for that, burst cysts, and precancerous cell removal from my cervix. He said I look good and healthy with my remaining tube (he flushed it and made sure there wasn't anything blocking it) and he said my cervix is very pink & healthy. So share your baby dust ☺️ lol! I am about to turn 33 next month so the older I get make me nervous. My sister is only 29. She's already said she's not stoping til she has a girl lol! I'm hoping that means I get 5 or 6 nephews 😂
Awww definitely sending all the baby dust your way. You’ll just have to keep trying; but obviously relax at the same time. Apparently fertility friend is really good to use 😉 haha bens like that he wants a girl off me, and I’m like okay I guess I’m not going back to work any time soon then 😂

Unfortunately when I got divorced bc my ex was extremely abusive and his family believed him over me, I did lose my two nieces and two nephews from that family. Thankfully they were really young but I just hope they are growing up healthy and loved. I have no contact with them at all so I don't know what they look like now or anything. But my ex was dangerous and I had to get away from him. I had to do what was best for me.

I can definitely relate to the abusive ex. For a long time after my divorce I wasn’t allowed to have much contact with my nieces but now they’re getting older so they get to make more choices on their own.
