Ok Ladies... new thread, since the old one was getting too long and dragging my computer (and Kat's) down with it!

MrsD - cant believe you are 30 weeks already! So you found that cutting out the lactose helps? It will be almost a week for me and I have noticed some improvement, but not a lot. Of course, he is still getting a milk-based formula supplement to the BFing. I am going to switch to a soy formula and see if it makes a difference as well. Until then... God give me strength!!! LOL

MEANS

So happy for you and praying for a sticky!!!

What a lovely Christmas prezzie!!

I had my 20 week scan last week and everything is fine. Baby is definitely a girl, think we are calling her Ava Rose.

Scorps so sorry to hear things are difficult for you atm, I can't imagine how stressed out you are waiting for DC and trying to sort things out with DH. You are right about one thing, go for the relate but remember YOU are worth so much more than a man who says he doesn't love you. You are young and gorgeous and have so much to give so don't settle for any less.

Everyone else... HI and happy Christmas!!!

Kat and bump (19+6) eeek half way!

Meanbeansmum · 22/12/2009 19:06

Kat, gorgeous name!!!! I'm glad all is well with Ava.

Scorps, you are worth it, I hope he sees sense, it's not nice seeing someone treated that way. ((((((((hugs))))))))))

Hi to everyone, are we all ready for xmas?

katnkittens · 22/12/2009 20:23

meanbean do you want to add me on FB?

I missed when everyone on the 'other' place were adding as I was early and had already left 2 ante clubs due to m/c so didnt want to get to comfortable iyswim.

rainbowdays · 22/12/2009 20:46

Means - huge congratulations, that is definitely a bfp if it came up within the time limit, and if it came up outside the time limit, it will be a bfp very soon!!!! Brought a smile to my face.

Kat - Ava is such a beautiful name, and glad everything was good with the 20 week scan.

IllHaveABABYBLUEChristmas · 22/12/2009 21:24

Kat - Love the name!! Very girly and pretty I cant believe you are half way there already!! How come my pregnancy didnt fly by that fast!! LOL

katnkittens · 22/12/2009 22:38

Rainbow! How's me old mucker doing??

Lovely to hear from you, what you been up to?

We're pretty much ready for santa. We're moving on the 22nd of Jan hopefully, getting sick of all the paperwork rubbish and delays but looking good for then.... so we have loads of boxes and too much stuff.

So in a way I'm looking forward to after Christmas and moving as much as Christmas

New year, New baby and new house

Meanbeansmum · 22/12/2009 22:52

Kat would love to babe....I think I'm under www.facebook.com/susiechanning if not search susannah channing and there's a pic of a snoggalishous brunette (LMAO I am kidding but I am a brunette lol).

Rainbow, hello sweetie, how are you doing? Good to see you posting!!!

I do beleive in Santa, I really do.....

3 weeks 5 days just taken (it's still warm lmao!!!).

mrsdisorganised · 23/12/2009 00:16

Means....that looking pretty good!!

Rainbow, nice to see you're still about, hope all is ok with you.

Kat, sounds like you've got a busy year ahead but exciting too, good luck and don't wear yourself out...!

Babyblue, hope the prezzie wrapping was successful (and that you were able to do it in style with wine and maybe a sneaky mince pie!!) haven't done ours yet, usually do it on xmas eve in a fit of madness

Loopy, Scorps and anyone else i've missed hope all is ok

New kitchen is in and looking lovely, think I will move in there permanently and forget the rest of the bombsite house! Dd's and ds are all well again, touch wood, and it's the last day of school tomorrow so bring on the lie in (if I'm lucky) we're all a bit knackered!! Ds is brilliant, so relaxed and happy, has started smiling much to the girls amusement!
Better get to bed I suppose, Ds due a feed.

IllHaveABABYBLUEChristmas · 23/12/2009 01:19

Means - That one looks better than the first Yippeeee!!!

MrsD - glad all your LOs are well. I guess the girls look at their little brother as the newest 'toy' in the house!! DD2 is all over DS2 now. I have to be so careful, because she likes to rub his head like a magic lamp!! LOL... that or pinch his cheeks. He loves to look at her too.

Hmmm... so I guess that means that all of us from the original thread now have at least #4 in the oven!! Wow! I joined this group in October of 2008 and was the second carrot. We have come a long way!!

Hopefully that means we will all have a happy but busy new year. It may be time to convert our thread as well

katnkittens · 24/12/2009 02:44

OMG I've had my bro and SIL over tonight and we've eaten like pigs. Anyway, baby has been kicking and prodding like mad... it's like she's suddenly woken up!! I have an anterior placenta so have barely felt anything apart from squirming so far. So exciting!!

BB we certainly have, it was this time last year ish that I had the first m/c. I'm so pleased I can mark the occasion with a wriggly baby girl in my tummy!

katnkittens · 24/12/2009 02:46

and wow means... looking great Got a good feeling this time for you!

Meanbeansmum · 24/12/2009 19:06

Kat, aww that's lovely.xx

Hd some very slight bleeding (pink watery very very minimal), implantation I hope. 4 weeks today!

Merry Christmas lovely ladies!!!!!

Meanbeansmum · 25/12/2009 17:26

I tested +ve again last night then lost the baby this morning. What is wrong with my body!!!! Useless!!!! I'm ok just hoping it ends normally and that it's not ectopic type bleeding.

I'm ok about it and just have to try again I suppose but this has been 2 loses in a short space of time and I'm slowely running out of tears. A few months off would probvably be good for me.

Can you all please remind me not to test untiol af is a week late! Had I waited a week to test I'd never have known (well by symptoms I would have but I would have just thought I was wrong).

I'm guiessing the tests should go negative over the next 2 week?

Christmas has been mad here, been up since 5am and the kids haven't stopped all day! They've had a lovely day though and been spoilt rotten.

Baileys for me tonight!!! Teehee!

katnkittens · 25/12/2009 20:26

Oh no means I'm so sorry! I hope you are ok.

If it makes you feel any better I had a m/c just before Christmas last year at 5 weeks then another one the following month. You really start to doubt your body but it seems to be working well enough for me now...

I hope the DCs keep your mind occupied and you have ahd a good Christmass nontheless

Meanbeansmum · 25/12/2009 20:44

Thanks Kat...you know what I might just let dh have the puppy he so desperately wants lol. That'll keep me busy lol!

I do wonder if my body just wasn't ready after the methatrexate. I'm scared to try again next month now. Maybe I need a few months off.

Girls if we move the group can I still come anyway...I will get there, I'm determined to have my magic number 4! LOL.

mrsdisorganised · 25/12/2009 23:15

Means, I'm really sad for you. I hope that you've managed to get through today ok, lots of hugs to you, and of course we should all stay in the same group!! xxxx

katnkittens · 26/12/2009 14:56

Means you WILL get there!!!!

Scorps - hope you are ok and your DH is behaving himself. Am expecting a BA any day!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. We had a lovely day filled with mess, noise and a couple of tantrums (dd2).

Am chilling today, having a few people over tonight to play on DS' new XBOX (men/boys)!

IllHaveABABYBLUEChristmas · 26/12/2009 15:39

Means - am really sorry Hun. Hopefully your body is able to sort itself out on its own. Maybe third times a charm for you. When its right, it will happen. Until then, you have all our shoulders to cry on Hopefully the noise and chaos in your household will keep you plenty occupied and distracted!

Scorps - Hope everything is ok with you.

How was everyone elses Christmas? Our was very busy! We spend the eve with my mum, Christmas morning with just us opening our prezzies, the afternoon with the in-laws, and the evening with my grandmother. Im exhausted! Not to mention my house is a serious mess since we havent been home to tidy anything up. Thats the goal for today!

rainbowdays · 27/12/2009 15:32

Means - , sorry to hear you think you are losing this one too. Have your symptoms gone and the tests turned negative now?

I unfortunately am still failing to stay pregnant. With 5 miscarriages in the last year, I am not sure if my body will ever carry another child to term. I am despondant about it but trying to think positively when I can remember to. I have started having accupuncture and I have medications to try. But right now I have had a rough two months with illness, two weeks of antibiotics for sinusitis, and then a cough/cold, and now a bladder infection, which is not going away by itself so had to go see emergancy doc today to get antibiotics again. I will be carrying on ttc for another couple of months then will be giving up. I get pregnant easily but can't hold onto them, I am no spring chicken and my body can't cope with what I am allowing to happen to it.

Sorry, I have been avoiding posting, due to not being very positive.
