ugh when did I say I thought the nausea and vomiting was easing off? :(
had to throw up again when thinking about doing dinner, so DH came home and decided we were having Domino's... again... they then got my pizza wrong and I had to ring them up... luckily they redelivered the right one for free... can't mess with pregnant women Wink

Great news about Rose Shakey & her weight gain. What date is your the scan? Was she ok after her injections? Phebs grizzled for a couple of hours so now I give her some Calpol straight after , she passes out for 2 hours then she's fine.
Fan glad you re coming through the other end , physically, I always felt slightly better when the physical symptons stopped.hope you can decide what to do on Fi's birthday? We were booking our AL & Ant can r have 10 th October off has only just managed to get the 18 th off ... But I m still having the day off for my Georgie so I said as long as he finishes early and we ll go to her special place to lay some flowers .. Can t believe in 6 months time it ll be her 2 nd birthday.
Phebs sleeping ++ as still full of cold poor bugger.
Love to all xxx

blizy · 24/04/2012 21:26

Whatever- good luck for tomorrow, look forward to hearing if baby is team pink or blue! Hope you are ok?

Poor rose with her injections and you of course shaky.

Angel- hope pheobe is over her cold soon.

Fan- Alfie is great thanks, hope you are doing ok?

My af is due on sun so I should start spotting on Thursday. I don't feel like I could be pg, I am having my usual af symptoms. Oh and Dh and only dtd 3 x because of his stupid work.Angry

orion3 · 25/04/2012 10:01

Morning ladies,

Good luck with the scan today wtw how far on are you?

I've slowly started to tell people that I'm pg. Told a really good friend yesterday and my in laws on Sunday. It's nice having a positive reaction but I hate having to add the proviso that we're not really sharing the news yet and we're worried about the heart scan because of Jude's heart problem. Arggh! I remember this time with the last two, I was over the moon, buying mat. clothes and sharing with everyone. Now I've seen the other side, it all feels so incredibly risky and fragile.
I'm also so worried about feeling further away from Jude as each day passes. I've reasoned that this baby is closer to Jude now then they will ever be but it only works some of the time.

Whatevertheweather · 25/04/2012 13:40

Hello Smile Have had scan this morning - all looks well so far (huge sigh of relief) she was being a little monkey though and wouldn't stay still but they got everything they needed in the end. Yes that's right I said she we are having another little girl Grin What a very very bittersweet day - it's 8 months to the day that Erin died. Feeling totally all over the place.

Hope everyone else is doing okay xx

blizy · 25/04/2012 13:43

Oh whatever, that is fantastic news! Another lite girl, Katy will be is pleased and a littlest sister for Erin too. Hope you are ok, sending some hugs to you. X

Bluetinkerbell · 25/04/2012 13:56

wtw yay! another girl! Grin so pleased for you! I think E is secretly hoping for another girl here too... xxx

Whatevertheweather · 25/04/2012 14:22

Thank you Smile I think I admitted on here earlier I was secretly deep down hoping it would be another girl. Can't wait to finally tell K this afternoon. 16 weeks to go if they stick to 37 week delivery.

fanjodisfunction · 25/04/2012 14:32

wtw that's brilliant news! And another one whose having the same gender as their angel, wow must be something to do with the thread.

TooImmatureTurtleDoves · 25/04/2012 14:51

Congratulations Wtw and little girl bean! So pleased for you.

My little girl bean is refusing to stay asleep Hmm. I am an idiot who forgot to order more heating oil so we have no central heating or hot water. Doh! The oil has been delivered now, with amazingly quick service, but there is a nice big air bubble in the middle of the heating system and we need the plumber to come and bleed it before we have all systems go again. I have the fire on in the living room, which is nice on this cold wet day, but the rest of the house is freezing.

Fan, you are such a brave woman - glad you're feeling physically better now.

Blue, hope the sickness and headaches pass soon. Sad

Orion, it's really tough but you will get there. Don't feel guilty about Jude - you aren't doing anything wrong by having a new baby. Jude would be delighted to have a little brother or sister.

Much love to all - gotta go calm down little non-sleeping child.

fanjodisfunction · 25/04/2012 17:56

orion oh hun, Jude will always be with you, he's always your baby.

too I'm feeling better, just waiting for her birthday, I'm a bit apprehensive about it to be honest.

I've lost four pounds over the past two weeks, can't believe it, so all in all 1 stone and 2lbs lighter. Long may it continue.

Thats me out for another month, I have started my usual spotting before af. I am going to make a GP appointment.
I think I will take a break from the thread for a while, it is all getting a bit too much.

Take care girls. xx

shakeyjake · 25/04/2012 18:15

aww so sorry blizy take care of yourself and remember we are here for you if needed (hugs)

fanjodisfunction · 25/04/2012 18:40

blizy Im so sorry I really thought you might have got it this month. Im going to really miss you. You can random rant at me via pm if you like. Take care hun.

Whatevertheweather · 25/04/2012 18:47

Oh Blizy I'm so sorry this wasn't your month. I will miss you too. We're always here for you xx

MiaAlexandrasmummy · 25/04/2012 19:00

blizy Sorry to hear that. I personally have appreciated your generous, unstinting support on this thread. I hope the GP is able to give you some useful info. While they may not know it is possible (mine didn't), you can get day 3 and day 21 tests for progesterone levels, as well as a sperm test for your partner, all on the NHS - if you think these would be useful.

blizy · 25/04/2012 19:05

Thank you all for your help and support, so very much appreciated. I won't be posting for a while but I will lurk to make sure you are all ok. X

AngelGeorgie · 25/04/2012 19:36

MiaAlexandrasmummy · 26/04/2012 12:49

Whatevertheweather · 26/04/2012 12:59
