Hi all,

I don't want to start a new thread in case I jinx it... Nelix seeing as you originally started the thread can you do it again, it was such a lucky thread and long may it continue or any of the other graduates!

smiley she is gorgeous! love the name, my friend of the same name is staying with us actually!!!!

wasabi wow time flies!you are half way there, well done and its a beautiful feeling to feel them kick, let us know how your scan goes!

Someone will need to start a new thread soon so you can all continue! xx

Pezzina any signs yet?

Wasabi Hi there, goush its so good to speak to you!... 19 weeks, goush the time has flown. My due date is the 14 April, so am thinking only 14 weeks till Christmas, and then I just need to get through January which is always a gloomy month - so may take a holiday? I am trying not to think so ahead but can't help it Will be thankful when the 12 week scan is out of the way. Keep thinking about my age and all the horrors that can go wrong... but I must try and stay focussed!

My nauseau comes and goes and is not like when I had my DD ... I was sick all afternoon and evening. My MS comes on in tiny waves so I am thankful that it is not constant. I am very tired though and boobs have grown - they were huge before!! I am already wearing maternity trousers.

Good luck for the scan next week, I am sure it will be fine.

Take care of yourself

Cindy

Sorry I've not checked in for a while guys. Felt really rough for weeks on end and then had sudden onrush of work, illness and then major sleep issues for DS (and subsequently us too!) and just general craziness. I had a bit of a downer towards the end of August as this is when my little lost one would have been due so I sort of went into myself a bit. It probably isn't the best way of dealing with things but I can't break the habit of a lifetime.

However, I wanted to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS! to Smiley. Little Katie is scrumptious and its just the sweetest name. I remember very clearly you getting your BFP and it doesn't seem so long ago. I am very, very happy for you indeed. I'm also very happy you got the birth that you wanted.

Pezzina You must be going potty with all this waiting. I hope that today has been your day and that we have news soon! I am sending you lots of birthy vibes.

Spats I hope the final few weeks are being as kind as they can be. Glad your DS has settled into school and that all is well for the waiting!

C1ndy Great news on your scan. I worry about how I will cope with two as well - its like we have some hardwired need to worry about something isn't it? <smile> What is your due date?

Funtime How are you getting on? Not seen you around for a while!

So, I am 19 and a bit weeks and have been feeling my little peanut kicking around for several weeks now. I wasn't expecting to feel movement so early but am so happy that I can as it does put the mind at rest slightly. I can't help feeling that I am having a girl as this pregnancy has been very different to the one I had with my DS. I'm still being sick for one thing - nice. Have kind of resigned myself to the fact that I will have to put up with that for the next 21 or so weeks. It isn't too bad - just a quick heave most mornings. <grin>

So all is well, mind you, I have my anomoly scan next week so am worrying about that now.

<wasabi waves to everyone>

Pezzina Oh, yummy freashly baked bread my favourite! How did it go last night!

I am so tired ever evening I just go to bed once I put my DD to bed. I have been having dreams on how I will cope with a second one!

I am thinking of having my placenta saved with this baby just in case we need it for stem cells. The science on this is getting stronger every year and am checking prices etc... I know my DH will not agree but I am getting a bonus and I am sure it will cover the expense so won't need his contribution... I think its around 1000 pounds for storage of upto 25 years. Anyone thought of this, or have had it done?

I've baked some bread and two lots of carrot cake.

I am just about to make some spicy curry for dinner tonight to go along with red wine and you know what!

Pezzina have you baked anything?

Smileycat She is gorgeous! I do love the name, goush you must be both proud.

Heeby it won't be the end ... as we will start another post for the others that will graduate soon. Hopefully all of you will still join us from time to time

ps i ave just gone back to the beginning of the thread and saw that i wrote i was sure we were having another girl!!! how right i was at that early stage!

This thread will be finshed in a couple of posts time and it will feel like the end of an era.

It has been a wonderful year of love and support xx
