Massive waves to everyone and a big helloooooooo! Back from hols on Sunday and just pottering about at home this week but can?t believe it?s taken me this long to log on and to hear so much great news!
MrsB - first off, huuuuuuuge congrats ? I will be another one rooting for the theory of starting the thread gets you the bfp so definitely your turn to start the next one wellie. So how are you feeling now mrsb? Are you quietly mentalling or loudly mentalling? As someone else said, we?re here to hold your hands every step of the way and the best advice (if you want it of course) is one day at a time. I?m pleased I had an 8 and a bit week scan this time (first m/c natural at around 7 weeks and second was mmc at around 11 with baby dated around 9) but I have to say it didn?t stop the mentalling that much?. Sending hugs and congrats ? please do keep us posted.
Also, big yay for emmabean heartbeat ? must be a quiet relief. Also great news on a good 20 week scan for you worm, well done for getting to the 10 week mark marathon and fx the next 2 weeks aren?t toooo painful and yay for team (probably) pink star.
Wanted to send big hugs to wellie - well done on you and DH keeping your SOH throughout the recent trials ? loved the sperm bank story 
? the boy done good! Everything tightly crossed that next month doesn?t produce the same amount of pressure. Someone once told me that a good tip is to go out for dinner and talk about sex a lot and then you both can?t wait to get back home and dtd ? hope this might help.
Dying to know how your DH got on with his bout harassed?. Hope all went well, not too stress for you and you have had a chance to have a ?discussion? since?.
Loving the sound of dd?s bedroom worm - she will be ultracool amongst her friends and hopefully some street cred points get to rub off on you too.
Well done on taking Tripoli yellow - quite an achievement for 17 weeks updiffed! Hope you are having lovely hols wherever you are.
Good to hear from you sparkly - I thought of you often while away as we have bought a number of educational wooden toys of the type you were referring to for Monty! I have also heard that the earlier you take them on planes the better. All being well, we will have a 6 hour flight from here to Italy in May so with wombatjunior being 5 months so might be able to offer some tips.
Had a truly lovely time away ? we had 3 nights in the Czech Republic, 1 in Austria and 4 in Germany, mostly around the Bavarian Alps which were just stunning ? so nice to get the fresh air and greenery that we desperately miss in the Dubai summer. Did some nice hill walking (bit breathless at times!) and for the first time in a long time, had an ice cream nearly every day of the holiday. Lots of yummy alpine fare to eat too ? loads of pork and potatoes! Wombatjunior seems to be ok although his movements seem sporadic cue mentalling from me and desperate wish he would get into some sort of more regular pattern?. Should be getting a tour of the maternity ward some time this week which will be interesting?.
Apple strudel all round for all!
