Here we go, another new thread for us to fill with our highs and lows.

Lets start off with a good dusting of babydust, think all the rest we had has washed off in the rain

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIDDLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awww hunny. Thankyou. Good to know you all too! it does make it so much easier knowing that we've been all been through loss.
Definitely try the yoghurt thing! I'm lucky with ds2, he loves fruit, but if you have a child that's not keen it's a great way of disguising it! Also another one is mash a banana in a bowl and mash a strawberry with it. That's it! Tastes and smells great and cheap too! We're both addicted to homemade smoothies atm (bananas, strawberries and soya milk, because it's slightly sweet). That blender should be worn out 'cos it's been used so much since he was weaned. Best things ever invented.
CP- Glad to make you smile hun! You deserve it! Bless your Dad! That's so sweet!
Rachel- Great to hear from you and thankyou for bringing fantastic news!! That'll be my worst fear. Having that first scan. Until I see the beanie boo's heart beating, I won't be happy!
Have a great day all xxxxxxxxx
Diddle- Spoil yourself today

thank you to you all, i was just remembering back to when i went through quite a rough patch, and although i have never met any of you, you have been such a great support to me, i'm very lucky to know you all. Thank you so much for listening to me moaning and picking me up when i feel down, it would have been a hell of a lot harder without you all.

Thanks

chocolate peanut - very gld we make you smile, its good therapy for us all to have a good giggle once in a while.
It is defintly a dad/man thing about not mentioning our losses. My dad came round today and I mentioned to him that of the kds i look after's mom who is expecting, and all of a sudden a silence came over us, as though we both didn't want to say anything.
A couple of people have asked me if i am expecting yet, probably because i have put loads of weight on have eaten too many biscuits and since beign pg i seem to gain weight much easier, its horrible. Must join a gym.

Have just got back from diner with my family, as they can't be with me tomorrow for my b'day. i'm stuffed and the restaurent was boiling, felt like we were sitting in the oven. Just as we got to dessert they told us they had a fan that we could have by our table. Could have done with it sooner.
Anyway off to bed now, i'm knackered the heat makes me so sleepy.

Evening ladies.
Today been better but bloody hot here in Manchester. Took Lucy shopping for some outdoor toys and got all sweaty In Toys R Us.
Dad called last night and told him about my day. He did not say anything (its a dad thing, he never mentions Philippa)but he knows we are TTC.Today he heard me and my sister discussing getting pregnant and ovulation kits and he said I will have Lucy Sat night if you want which I guess is his way of 'helping'!!
Talking about ovulation kits.Bought one today and got a faint line which test indicates 'not yet' which I think DH is v happy about cos he complained about my mood again last night so dont think BD is on his agenda.

Love to read all your chats. Make me smile

Hello all my old mners from ttc thread. I just wanted to pop on to say that after my missed m/c in March I have been for a scan today and baby measures 8+6 and 21 mm so obviously I am chuffed to bits.....heart was beating madly and the sonographer said it was moving about alot.....I find the images so fuzzy but saw the head and the heart beating which was good enough for me!
I wish you all the best with ttc and it will soon be all of you!!!

hellkat - i love friends, yes remember that one, just took me a while to work out what it said, was expecting it to be a typo, and trying to substitute leters for other ones.
Good idea with the yoghurt, must try it. the kids will love it.

HellKat · 12/07/2005 17:37

Just gave ds2 his fav pudding. Healthy too. Little yoghurt (petit filous, wildbunch etc) with mushed strawberries in it. If he has a banana yoghurt, I put mushed bananas in them. Easy, quick to.

HellKat · 12/07/2005 17:32

Lol yep but said jennifer Anniston style in Friends. Remember that episode? Where she's on her own and strips off. She walks around saying " I'm picking up an orange.... nekkid. I'm sitting down..... nekkid" lol

  • that's it I give up with this typing malarky! The heat's affected it I swear
HellKat · 12/07/2005 17:06

Giggling at the "al fresco" shenanigans!!!!!! waheyy!
Diddle- have your birthday drink tomorrow hun! I agree with Madrushs' logic actually. Sort of the "sod's law" scenario!
How's everyone coping in this heat? Have a nearly nekkid ds2 running around, and I'm cooking [shcok]. Too hot!

madrush · 12/07/2005 15:41

Spub apply here don't know anything about it myself, but it's too hot to work so playing google instead

spub · 12/07/2005 14:52

Strike1 - Like Diddle I am also intrigued by your job. Do tell us more about what a voice artist does.
Is is like wasserface Irish actress doing the sexy M&S food advert?
Is being a piss artist any sort of training for being a voice artist???

madrush · 12/07/2005 14:51

Diddle, my due date should have been 18/9 and m/c was early Feb (7 weeks).... same day my neighbour came home with her new baby

Petunia (I love petunias, pots full of them in the garden) my af didn't arrive until about 6 weeks after m/c and I was told no need to wait these days but GPs can handle it better if they have a LMP to put on their paperwork. I know this is true, during first pg I went to dr after positive test and said I had AF on x date but I've been on hormone treatment for months and only AFing (if that is a verb?) every second month at most. "oh" he said and wrote down LMP anyway. Made for a horrible first scan when they thought pg wasn't progressing properly and I had to convince them conception date could be weeks out for all I knew. After that experience, I decided to wait before trying after mc but 5 months later my cycle still isn't normal, so probably of no great benefit to wait.

What a long post, been working on document all afternoon and obviously feeling a bit wordy now!

hello petunia - it is all very confusing isn't it, i think they just recommend you wait, not sure if there is any evidence to suggest it is worse to get pg straight away. probably isn't

Liking your style!!

petunia · 12/07/2005 14:34

Afternoon all from an extrememly sunny and hot Leicestershire.
HC-in answer to your question yesterday, my mc was 15th June. I was told first AF would be in 4-6 weeks, well 4 weeks is up tomorrow. I don't think it'll arrive, don't feel at all pre-menstrual! The thing I don't understand about being told to wait for a cycle for dating purposes, is that the midwife at my booking-in appointment said that they date more by scans now anyway. So now I'm really confused! Seems to depend who you talk to.

madrush - i have the same warped sesne of logic too, like when i do a pg test I just carry on and flush the toilet and was my hands without looking at it, because of course it will be neg and then if its not it will be a suprise. i try and kid myself that theres no chance i could be.

When was your sept due date, i was due the 15th Sept, we must have lost around the same time. end of Jan??

Lets be unpositive together.
