Morning all... (just sneaking in under the wire as it's five to midday!)
blue I did hear the heartbeat at my mw appt the other day, good and strong, but the little blighter was hiding behind my pubic bone and the mw was struggling to get a count, but it sounded slower than ds's to me, so perhaps it's a girl. No idea really though. Next scan is at 22 weeks on 24th August (right smack bang in the middle of my nights ) for me, and we are going to find out what flavour then.
bubble Glad you aren't too down, but sorry it's all so frustrating. I hope the clomid starts to work it's magic soon enough. Are you having tests to confirm you're not oving or is it just that you feel you aren't?
sunny you poor thing, I hope things are starting to pick up. Have you tried talking to your dh? Sorry, that sounds really obvious doesn't it? I'm sure you have. One thing I've learnt from my mcs is that time really does help. It won't stop you thinking about it, but it will make the pain less, so I hope you can hang in there.
As for the timing thing.... well it never really does work out in our favour, that's the cruellest lesson in life I think. I was really excited to be having dc2 before ds was 2 (my due date would have been June 15th just gone) but that was not to be. Then I got pg again and the due date was ds's birthday, which I thought was even cooler. Again, not to be. Now I'm due bang in the middle of Christmas, which for me isn't ideal, but what can you do?
You know what you will have though, when you do have your next baby, you'll be able to have the morning with your baby, snoozing, not getting dressed, chilling out, and you'll have afternoons with your dd who'll be all excited to come home and tell you what she's done at school that day. You'll be able to give both of your dcs their own time, and that's very special indeed.
Blue I'm very of your Springsteen/lie in double whammy. What a lovely time you had.
How's tricks wasabi issy?
girl I hope you're recovering well and you've been spoilt rotten the last few days.
Things are going well chez nous, I'm starting to get a bit panicky about how much we've got to do, but I'm doing my best impersonation of an ostrich This weekend I have to clear my beloved roof terrace of all our plants as they can't go in to storage, so we'll be up and down the stairs like a demon. Who needs stairmaster?
I'm really looking forward to moving in to my sisters... finally I won't have to haul ds up flights of stairs on our way back from the park (with promises of half an hour of Thomas on tv as a persuasive tool!), finally I'll be able to saunter up the road to ds's childminder... finally we'll be able to have a party and invite all our friends round
The last one's a joke of course, though we are going to have some friends over for dinner, but we'll avoid the temptation to trash the place (as if, we're all parents of young children and we're all approaching our 40s, we'll be in bed by 9pm!). I am very tempted to start potty training ds now though, he can pee on her carpets
Have a great day everyone xx
