Helloooooo! Where is everyone?

I think about ya everyday Lucy! I'm thinking you're gonna get a surprise, an early one...it's a hunch.

by **Juicy Lucy** » Sun Sep 16, 2007 9:35 am

it sounds crazy but it would be kinda nice! this little bottom has been sat under my ribs for a long time now, and these little feet give quite a poke in the ribs too!

i'm pretty sure baby won't make an appearance anytime soon tho, i'm still preparing stuff, painting and gathering baby stuff together, and washing and things. i think in my mind i'm expecting baby to be as late as Poppy, so think i have another 3/4 weeks easily lol. it would be a shock now if baby came next week! :lol:

as the dr's started me early with Charlotte because they were worried things were going wrong, i only have what happened with Poppy to go on. i'll guess we'll have to wait and see.........

how you doing any hoo TG?

by **THAT_GUEST** » Sun Sep 16, 2007 4:01 pm

I'm doing OK, sweetheart. I don't have kids, but from what I observed from my brothers experience and his wife, the best way to get a pleasant surprise is to keep yourself occupied. LIttle one will want to check things out for themself! Kind of a peek a boo what's going on out here thing! :lol:

What's all the fuss, mum? When my niece was born, bro's wife was fixing up the dresser, and changing table...just busy work as she was so close, but still, in the middle of an organization project, the little one decided it was time to make her appearance!

For the nephew, she was brushing the dog, and feeding the cat catnip, and little man decided he had had enough of the no elbow room nonsense, and he was going to be stretching those limbs out that night! :lol:

You just keep those little projects going, without overdoing it, and see if you spike baby's curiosity!

by **Juicy Lucy** » Sun Sep 16, 2007 4:46 pm

doesn't sound like bad advice, and i have plenty to keep me busy, paul is building a built in wardrobe for the girls, as they will be sharing soon, so then i have to paint in there when he's done (pink of course! :lol:

) and sort out all the girls toys, see who's grown out of what and where it will be going in their room. then there's sorting out the baby's room...... lol and that's just for starters! my calender is more full this month than it's been in ages, but i do like to be busy, it's a long 9 months if you just sit around waiting for something to happen. don't worry tho, a group of us girls are getting together tomorrow night for a pampering session, as one of my close friends is a beauty therapist, and two of the girls are preggie too!

glad to hear your doing well matey

Hope everyone is well...this is the first time back on the computer.

Anyway bad news from me I am afraid...I lost the baby probably due to my recent c-section (about 6 weeks ago now). Hope you are ok now MOM, did think about you during that time too. I am all right now so no sadness lets just share happy stories.

PP is still my big boy and over 25 pounds now and coming up to 8 months (can you believe that) He is crawling, shouting 'da dada' and all sorts...although Mr A thinks he is saying daddy!!! Clearly thinks he is the favourite!!!! :wink:

I will post a picture soon if you are all still here.

How is everyone? Cheryle...just under 2 months to go? Hope you are blooming...you certainly look lovely in your photo's. ODN .. long month for you, if it doesn't happen this month, then hopefully next month...May and June are great months to be born in. Any news from Ziggy or has she drown under a sea of papers from all that studying. Looking forward to JL birth story and MOM well lots of baby dancing..although I am giving that a rest myself for the time being (still in recovery)

Anyway I am off now to put baby to bed (bath, bottle and bed) Hope to hear from you all soon xxxx

Hi Everyone! :wave:

It's great seeing a few updates... although I'm really sorry about your miscarriage, Amberdite. I'm glad you're all right now. I'd love to see some pics of your little guy, they grow so fast!!

I'm in the "uncomfortable" last two months of pregnancy and although it is so fascinating to watch my stomach jump and bulge, it is also quite painful! The injections are still hard to do, especially the heparin which burns when it is injected and leaves big bruises on my tummy. But I guess you get used to anything once you do it enough and it all has become part of my daily routine. Tomorrow we see the pre-natal specialist again to check on Niklas's growth and to make sure he isn't being affected by my GD. I love these appointments because she always does a 3D ultrasound and I love looking at my little guy :wink:

I just hope he takes his hands away from his face long enough that we can finally see him!

JL- wish you the best for the upcoming birth... a water birth sounds lovely. I don't have the option of having a home birth, but the hospital where I'll be delivering does offer the option of water birth. Please be sure to post how it is!

ODN- I admire your patience with all that you have to go through... I really hope this is it for you!! Keep us posted!

Hi Cheryle!!! You're blooming...I know you've had a rough pregnancy, but you are still lucky! I seriously don't feel very patient sometimes! No changes...am waiting for BFP/period next week. Have pains on my left side today like when I was diagnosed with the cysts, so don't know what is happening now! :roll:

I give up...just wish I had a crystal ball to see into the future! Just wish I knew how long all this is going to take!

Any news from JL?

Where the dickens is Ziggy? xxx

My God Ambers...he is SO gorgeous!!! Those cheeks!!! I just wanna grab 'em! How do you get anything done? What a beautiful boy! xxx :lol:

by **Amberdite** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 10:32 pm

Thanks ODN...still waiting for your news!!!! May not post much as I usually have my hands full with PP (now he is on the move)

Cheryle...just seen your family...wow they are a good looking bunch...Cherko already has the handsome gene (and I really mean that)

by **Cheryle** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 9:21 am

Thanks ODN and Ambers! It was great to see a bit of action here again :wink:

Ambers- He is such a cute little guy... I agree with ODN, I just wanna grab those cheeks!! :lol:

It's so amazing how fast they grow, I can't believe how big he is already!!

ODN- hopefully those pains mean ovulation and not cysts!

Ziggy- where are you????

JL- any news yet?????

by **Cheryle** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 9:24 am

I forgot to say that I was at the specialist on Tuesday to check Niklas's growth. He's already 2.2 kgs (just under 5lbs) :shock:

and is measuring 3 weeks ahead. But luckily he's proportional so it doesn't look as if he's being affected by my gestational diabetes and is just a BIG baby. She predicted he'd be over 4 kgs (9lbs) if I carry him till my due date. If you click on the link by "my family" in my siggy, you'll see the newest 3D ultrasound pics of him.

by **Juicy Lucy** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 4:28 pm

no, no news. plenty of niggles and pains but nothing is happening. i knew i'd be in for the long haul tho, so i'm feeling fairly chipper still. i have this real kinda nervous excitment about going into labour, as i've never done it naturally before, and knew the day i would give birth with the girls, so this feels really new, but scary at the same time! who'd have thought it would feel that way third time around? i had a really real dream last night that i'd just given birth and was holding the new little baby in my arms and found out she was a girl and we were stroking her hair. it was really sweet. i think it was bought on by being taken to the maternity unit last night as i was in a car accident. and my friend and i saw a very new baby being wheeled down the corridor. it really hit home that i would have on eof those very soon!

that is a big boy your going to have cheryle, it makes me wince thinking about it!

amberdite, what a cute chubby little cherub! i could just give him a real sqeeeeeeeeze!

ODN i can feel your frustration at all this. i know what you mean about if you just knew how long it would take, it would make the waiting easier. if you find one of those crystal balls, could you let me know where you got it? good luck tho hun.

Hi everyone!

I know I know, I've been AWOL for ages! It's been a combination of work, studying, and the whole TTC thing seems like a distant memory. It's like I've switched off; maybe a defence-mechanism . . .

I've just spent a wee while reading back through all your posts - such a mixture of happiness, excitement but sadness as well. I'm so pleased for everyone who is "blooming" but so sad for those who have lost babies or are still trying (ODN - big hug!) . . . brought back a lot of sadness for me and reminded me of that horrible year with the monthly crashing disappointments! I really feel for you all. You're all so strong!

I'm using the Persona monitor as contraception because I've vowed never to go back on the evil pill again! The three months seem to have sorted out the incessant bleeding, thank god, and I now seem to be normal-ish, but I again had a complete nightmare coming off the pill once the 3 months were up - hot flushes, tearfulness, the works!

Maybe one day we'll think about trying again - but not just yet; we've started the emigration process - we're moving to Australia! It's where we met and where I spent the happiest year of my life; and really the weather here sucks so we feel the pull of sun, sea and sand year-round! But it's a long slow process so for now I'm just concentrating on exams (mid-October) and work.

But I can't wait . . .

And then, when we've bought a wee beach house there, then maybe baby!

Lots of love to everyone - I still think about you all, even when I've not posted in a while!

Hey lady!!! OMG...I thought you'd emigrated MONTHS ago! :lol:

You're the second person who has told me that they are moving to Oz in the last 12 hours today! What is going on? Somebody trying to tell me something? :cry:

I must say, Ziggy....that sounds amazing! I wish my husband had the get up and go to move abroad (Oh...Canada...sssiiiiiiiggggghhhhh!) but he is so close to his family, he would miss them too much! I would live anywhere! Oz sounds fabulous! You knew you didn't fall pregnant straight away for a reason...you would never have been able to move abroad if you had babs!

I'm excited for you! And Oz means that you can still keepin touch through this, eh? I'm sure that's exactly what you're worried about! :lol:

Good to hear from you, sweetie x

How's everyone else? Baby put in an appearance yet JL? Far too comfortable in there for his own good! Cheryle, you well? MOM and Ambers...how you getting on?

Still no af for me! Day 40 now...just wish it would hurry up so I can start on next lot of Clomid! Well, off to Centre Parcs tomorrow for a weekend away with the girls, and wedding on Saturday, so it's bound to show up then, eh? :roll:

I hope so...never wanted af to show up so much! (o)(o) still so sore, have been for around 2 weeks now, but NOTHINGS HAPPENING! Oh well...the waiting continues...xxx Have a good weekend girls xxx :lol:
