***Let's support each other again - Part 2***

Sending you (((((hugs))))) mbm life really sucks sometimes

I'm having a bit of an odd day today. Think I said before about my very young and unworked cousin who got pg this yr, well heard today that she had emergency section this morn due to high blood pressure. Baby boy born weighing 3lb. He was 4 wks early. Think they are doing ok but obv is a shock. I haven't seen her for over a yr as she doesn't really have much to do with family things and spends all her time with boyfriends fam. All v strange. But anyway glad they are both doing ok.

We spend afternoon at botanic gardens which ds loved esp. all th glass houses with tropical plants and carnivorous plants Off to bed now as ds has taekwondo comp at 9am tomorrow morn!!! Have had wine tonight which was v nice but prob a bad idea with the early start - oops!!

Oh mbm that test sounds awful. Hope you are feeling ok now!

My only bit of news is that I had a psychic dream last week which came true
You must all prob think I am bonkers by now

My dad has a cousin who lives quite a bit away who they keep in contact with and see occasionally. I had a dream about her and her dh last week and in the dream I ask after her daughter as she is pregnant. On mon my dad went to put flowers on my grans grave and something made him buy flowers and take them to cousins mil who stays near where gran is buried. Imagine his surprise when the lady tells him that her grandaughter (one I had dreamt of and havent seen for years and years) is 12 wks preg after years of infertility and 3 rounds of IVF! The hairs were standing up on my arms when my dm phoned to tell me Obv could be a coincidence but they are very random peeps for me to think of never mind dream of so like to think it was a (good) message!

Boo to you too

Was thinking about you all today, wondering how you're all doing? Becky has dh taken any pics yet

All fine here, but PIL's staying at the mo so not going to be able to spend much time on the computer for the next ten days. Had one of my procedures today - got pumped full of dye and had x-rays taken of my bladder. Had another one last week, where they found my right ovary is twice the size of my left one - they said they 'think' it's a functional cyst, and so I have to go back just after my AF next month to check if it's back to normal or not. I was v worried as the lady went out to get her supervisor, leaving me spread-legged on the bed

Better go, have a yummy pudding to eat!

Love to all, and hope to hear what you've been up to & how you are very soon! xxx

Boo everyone!

Poppy yeah! lovely to see your pictures and your DS (and your moggy and DH) look lovely

mbm please do come shopping with me - I'd love it! We haven't got anything yet except a moses basket from someone at DS1's school! Sorry your AF arrived - 41 days is a long cycle. 14 vials of blood! I hope they can help you your poor DS doing no.1s and 2s. My DS2 wee'd in his wellies yesterday (he had an accident and it ran down his leg straight into his wellie) and thinks that was brilliant! He kept going on about it today.

Nandos the stretch marks will fade - I have a few too.

My bump is too big. I tried on my favourite 'it's not maternity but it fits when I am pregnant' skirt on today and couldn't get the zip up.

Ps have finally uploaded some pics! Has only taken me a year!!!

OMG mbm 14 vials of blood! that beats my 9 at the recurrent mc clinic! Hopefully after all these tests they can offer you some help or advice as a 41 day cycle is mammoth!

My reiki lady is v nice and the messages are not upsetting as I find it a great comfort to know that my family are looking over us. She works with the angels a lot and when she is finished my reiki she usually tells me all the places they directed her to send healing and light and unbelievably it is usuall the areas I am having most trouble with spooky! My dh done some building work for her and every time he was finished a batch of cement she would have tea and sandwiches sitting ready for him as "they" told her each time he finished. My friend went to her for a reading and she said she could see puppies and toilet rolls (friend breeds laboradors).

nandos I also ama amazed that you have time for housework! Don't expend all your energy on that Hope all is well and don't worry about the stretchmarks - wear them with pride!

becky can't wait to see bump pics hope you are well.

m2o hope you are enjoying school hols!

My ds went back to school today. Primary 3. He was not happy about going back although he seemed quite happy when I collected him. First day is always the worst
Unfortunately the new teacher made a mistake with the register and I got a text from the school saying call them as ds hadn't came to school today I watched him go in but was still worried. V apologetic when I phoned and went to class etc to check he was there (which he was) but it must have been v exciting for ds as it was the first thing he told me at hometime!

Hello everyone..
me been cleaning doing housework n bz with baby thats why havent come on for quite some time..

MBM, hope its good news since your late. Have u tested yet?

Becky,soon its going to be you having a baby cant wait to see your pics!

Poppy, thats nice to hear your fertility has come back
Relaxing does help sometimes..even the lady who massages me ask me to relax b4 she starts massaging me.

My tummy has become much flatter now and i asked mom if the stretch marks will go away and she said no! i feel so unsexy with all those tiger lines lol.
But one thing i realise is the reason why women wanna have more kids although sometimes birth can be so painful n traumatic is because of their baby's cutee face and it offsets everything else

anywayz i need to continue with the housework, still a lot to do..take care all

Hello all!

I had some really good news this week. A friend of mine I went to Uni with has one daughter who is 5 and she's been TTCing for ages and had two MCs - she is 38 and was worrying about her age but she's now 13 weeks pregnant! So good things do happen!!!!!! I am so pleased for her. Her husband had told her he wanted to give up if nothing happened by October and I was really, really hoping that something would happen and it did! So you guys it will happen to you too, I just know it.

mbm CD40 is a long one - maybe???

Poppy good news that your Reiki lady says your fertility is back - and sounds like your cycle is proof of that. So sweet of your DS to ask about the baby factory

I am getting excited, scared, etc but practically we are not at all prepared. We have no names yet, no things, only the old stuff from the DSs. We need to go shopping

I do feel quite big. I will get DH to take a photo of me with my belly so I can put on here.

Nandos I hope you are glowing in new baby bliss

nandos your baby is sooo gorgeous you must be evry proud of him. Hope everything is still going well and you are getting some rest

mbm CD40 thats really late! Have you done a test just to be on the safe side before you go to hosp. Maybe it will be good news

My ds had a brill birthday last wk, cannot believe he is 7! Also cannot now believe we have spent the last 5 years ttc a sibling! Very depressing.
We got him a new bike and a camera as he is obsessed with taking pics so he was delighted. He also got lots of lego city sets from various people as he loves lego and is excellent at following the instructions and building the sets. He done the policestation all by himself (proud mummy alert)!
We had his party on sat and there were 10 kids and as it was dry we had some outside games and some indoors and they all had a good time. Some of the kids in the street have made a "band" over the summer hols and they "played" at the end very entertaining!

My reiki is quiet healing where I lie on a bed and close my eyes, relax and the lady channels reiki healing into me. She also does angel healing which I have had and as she is a medium I have occasionally had messages from "the other side" at the end. For me personally I have found it very beneficial and over the past 4 months my cycle has gone from crazy to regular. Pmt symptoms have gone, spotting for over a wk before af has stopped and my cycle is longer. Last month it was 30 days and I only knew af had arrived when I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and back, went to the loo and it had came. Reiki lady also told me last time that she had been told that my fertility had returned. So for me that was good to hear. Hopefully now things may improve for us as ds keeps asking where his baby brother or sister is and today said "was it taking a long time to make in the baby factory"!!!!!

becky you really don't have long to go now at all. You must be starting to get excited now. (and tired!)

Our schools go back next tues so we have been busy buying school uniform etc. Oh the joys! Anyway must stop rambling as bathroom really need a good clean!

Just seen piccies on your profile Nandos. He is gorgeous!!!!!

Hi Nandos I know how you feel! But he really is your baby and he's yours for ever I can't wait to see pictures.

We've just got back from a week in Wales.

Poppy hope your DS had a good birthday

mbm hope you had a good time at the zoo!

Off to 'in-laws for lunch today. I've got horrible indigestion - yuck, yuck, yuck!

26 weeks today and counting!

Hello everyone!
Just a quick drop by..
am having a 5-day traditional massage at home for the time being. Its meant for expectant and post-natal moms..
I still feel a bit weird having a baby at home lol. Am having doubt if its really my baby
Everyone at home really adores him cos' they say hes so cute I will ask dh to upload some pics on my profile in a min.

Take care everyone

Oh poppy we were posting at the same time. I am 25 weeks.

Happy birthday to your DS!

Ooooooh Nandos!!!!!! Yeah!!! Welcome to baby Ibrahim! How lovely that has made my day

Sounds like you had a nice quick labour - wow!!!! Sorry you had to have surgery and go back to hospital - hope you are ok now though.

We need pictures

mbm my DH is the same - I'm taking the DSs by myself to the seaside next week. If he can't come, it is not going to stop us going away.

I've been to the Hague - for one day in 1992 - it was quite a nice, very clean, city if I remember rightly.

I'm doing ok but today my lower back is really hurting, like siatica or something, and today looking after the DSs has been really hard. Bending over is agony My mum reckons the baby is sitting on a nerve and I've just got to coax him or her to move!

I'm going to work until end Oct so two weeks before baby due day! I sometimes get freebies. But I've got the disk on my laptop anyway so we can play with it.

Nice tick story mbm!!!

I hope you are both ok Poppy and m2o.

Oh nandos huge congratulations to you and your dh on the birth of your lovely baby boy I'm sure all your pains will vanish soon and you will have a wonderful time getting to know your wee one. What a beautiful name you have chosen. Can't wait to see pics Well done, take care and enjoy you deserve it.

I had a lovely cuddle with my friends wee grandaughter who is only 5 weeks old. I got to give her a bottle too which was quite exciting for me as I have never done that before as ds was breastfed, so thats another string to my bow Also managed to wind her! Thought I might be out of practice as ds is 7 next wk

becky I'm losing track, how many wks are you now?

mbm yuk re the tick. Poor ds. Hope he will be ok.

My ds is 7 nxt tues and we are having a wee party for him the sat afterwards so will be spending the next wk organising that! I must be mad
My cycles are now almost back to normal since I began the reiki so it must be doing something. Praying that now my body is working better that ttc might be easier one can always hope!
