Hello hello hello!!!
Sorry Pistachio, I didn't see your link - obviously had my "New Mum" glasses on, you know, the ones where you just see nappies and bottles in front of your eyes!!
Hever, ahhh, your LO had second lot of jabs then? Ellie had her first lot last week. She was fine, within 2 mins of the second injection, she was asleep!! I teared up though, luckily DH was holding her so I just turned away and pretended to be reading a poster!! Well done for starting this thread honey!! As I started the original thread (all that time ago... Last June to be precise), I did post on there recently but like you, they've moved on without us (boo hoo), so really glad that you started this one!!
Bubba, gosh, not long to go now honey!! Sorry, please remind me, did you find out the sex? So sorry if you've already told us!! I remember those aches and pains well. I have to admit though that I didn't expect to still be getting them now!! I get really bad pains in my lower back when I'm in bed. My Mum says that it's where all my ligaments and muscles were stretched and changed during PG and they take a while to recover. Can't imagine why??!! I just expected to look and feel exactly the same afterwards, that I did before I was PG. Unfortunately that's not the case.
Oh Hever, just wondered how you're doing with your weight? Mine is really getting me down. I've got about a stone to lose since having Ellie and I'm still in size 14 trousers. I've always been a size 12 and so I'm refusing to buy any size 14s so I'm living in one pair of jeans and 3 pairs of joggers, that I wore right up until the end of my PG!! I feel fat and frumpy - definitely not YUMMY MUMMY material... I know Ellie's only 9 weeks old, but still - surely I should have lost all the weight by now!!
Eth, hi honey!! Gosh, we're on tenterhooks for you and Bubba now!! How exciting!
Pistachio, loads of lovely babydust winging it's way to you honey. We're right there with you girl!! Hope your DHs sperm test doesn't raise any problems for you. Sometimes it just takes a while, I'm sure there's nothing wrong. How many cycles is it now? Keep your chin up honey.
So, I've posted some more piccies of Ellie on my profile. We've got another appointment on Monday at the eye hospital and I imagine they will refer her to the hospital in Exeter to see the surgeon who will do her op. Not looking forward to it but I'd rather they do it now when she's young. It'll be a general anaesthetic though and that's what's worrying me...
BUT, in herself she's a very happy chilled out baby. We get 10 hours sleep out of her a night and that's not bad for 9 weeks old. She's a very easy baby, except when I try to take her shopping, but that's another story. In fact, crazy as it sounds, she's so good that I sometimes forget that she's here!! But then I hear her chattering to herself and my heart fills up - she's soooo scrummy - she's got to be the most kissed baby in the world!!
DH is going to Israel on business tomorrow night for a week. So I will have to cope on my own for all that time, no-one to pass Ellie to at night when I'm knackered - plus I'll have to walk the dog twice a day and make sure the cat's Ok aswell. It's going to be a tough week - but character building I guess!!
Hope everyone is Ok!!
