Firstly - OMG OMG OMG congratulations Barbie!!!!! See - just when you stopped thinking about it, it happened! So glad for you and DH hon - know its been a long road getting there, I have a good sticky feeling for you! Roll on maternity leave for you then! Massive hug & kiss for you, I really am so pleased & also saying a little sticky prayer xxx
Mermaid you next then lovely lady! When is AF due - when you gonna test? I really pray you get your sticky BFP too! Please let this be our month?!? Love the idea of clotted cream & merangue feast at 2am, def a symptom if ever I saw one! xx
Bluemoon will be thinking of you at 11.30 today hon, sorry it is DP birthday, we found out we lost no2 at scan on DH 30th birthday. The way life pans out is just horrible sometimes. We also had to decide if we'd wait for natural mc, but waited a few days & had erpc, which was over quickly & gave closure to the physical side, so could deal with the mental side.. 1st mc was natural & ended up rushed to hospital & put on morphine as was trapped in cervix. The erpc in comparison was so much better. Had erpc for 3 & 4 too. Just my input, see what they suggest & go with your instincts, one step at a time. I'll be thinking of you and holding your hand, you've been very strong & brave. You're doing all those '1st steps to normal'. Your poem made me cry so much & I copied it so I can read when I need too. You touched a chord with all of us, thank you so much for sharing it. Sending you love & strength today xxxxxxxxx
Mrskate devestating to hear about your flood - thats a complete nightmare, your DH DVDs, but worse - your wedding pics! Hopefully there must be back up copies? Hopefully some calm is restored between you & dh now... When it rains it pours, pardon the pun! Its just makes your love stronger!! x You will look back on this when lo is in your arms and smile!
Nice to see Lionstar and MM lurking with their growing bumps & worldy wisdom! Sorry you been so poorly with it MM but all good signs to be so sick!
Bluesatin sure you will be having a great xmas this year sweetie! Bless your DH & in laws getting emotional for you, glad you have the support you need. Happy belated birthday to your ds! Party sounds fab!
Cupcake we heard the amazing thunderstorm on sun morn & got up at 6am to watch it! Sounded like bombs going off!
Bakingqueen glad you are settled in your new home, sounds lovely to have a village to stroll round! Cant believe your fire! Get those fire alarms up pronto! Hope you enjoy the 'christening' session!!!
MLS sounds like you had a crappy time lately hon, just focus on your growing bean & DD.. Men can be funny creatures, im sure when you have a big bump he can see he will be more into it all, from what you said he dotes on your dd so give it time perhaps.. We are all here to be excited with you! Hope you feel better from your cold..
Curly Im really praying all is well, echo whats already been said that spotting can be quite normal, you dont need it tho do ya hon? Its very not fair that you are having this worry when you deserve a happy relaxed text book PG after all you been through already. Sticky thought and baby dust coming at ya! xxxxx BTW good luck with exams, proper distraction eh!
Have you been to Rome yet Sabs? Its very hard catching up properly after being away all weekend, I may have missed things!
Vjay I wasnt about, but sending you a hug and bellyrub in memory of edd no 2, hope you got through it honey.. xx
Gracie can really relate to the bad bowels & insomnia, had that each time.. At wk5 my belly would bloat up massively and my normal clockwork routine goes out the window (not literally UGH!).. The twinges and cramps would worry me but ease by wk7, fraid I never really found a remedy tho! Hope yours work for you! Your sleep routine sounds like mine on an average night, im a very light sleeper and never sleep all the way through... Hope your doing ok tho?!
Neeko your cycle has really confused me! I thought we were similar cycle wise? Im on day 11 now I think. So are you on 2ww? I wanna join you! I know Im on same day as cupoftea! LBM very crap about the job.. Works like a bit of stability and 'normal' when we are going through this crap rollercoaster of mc isnt it? I've been in limbo for 2yrs with redundancy hanging over us, think my job maybe safe but may have to relocate . Need PG so I can stay where I am! Its horrible having it all out of my own control. Lifes been strange for last 2yrs I tell ya!
Ginger glad AF came for you, hope your cycles sorted now? Dont worry hon, there is always next month and look how lucky this threads been so far!
Phew - mammoth post! Read through the w-ends happenings and had to write notes to myself to catch up with you all! Still bound to have missed someone or something so apologies! Still reeling over Barbies news! V pleased sweetie! I am very badly wanting to join her and all you fresh BFPs! Its that desperate desire like straight after mc, when you 'need' to be PG again. Keep thinking this time last year was pg with no 3 which was longest most 'real' one as got to 13w and had weekly scans watching it grow and got loads of pics of it. Anyway, duly started the OPKs on sat but only v faint line so far. Also got brazil nuts & grapefruit juice (really yummy I thought!!). Got v worried on fri as read that you shouldnt gloss paint when PG so I finished off the downstairs hall on sat while DH rested his hand! Been dying to do front room but waiting on windows being replaced which has taken near 6 months (a whole saga in itself) & now they are finally coming on 'test' week - huff. They have no idea of how much their delay has affected things cos if (please please god) I do get BFP, its all going on hold while I wrap up in cotton wool..
Anyway - will prob need a new thread after this post! Got in work at 7.15am & spent 25mins catching up, then draft this in mail before I post! Naughty naughty me!
Once again, holding your hand today moon xxx
