Gosh what a roller coaster of a ride it's been reading the last few pages of the thread. All these emotions at once
Im going to have to slowly break myself back in, so my posting might be in pieces...
Firstly i want to say sorry to monkey for what has happened and for not being here to offer the support when needed. I did manage to read the thread a few times while back in the uk but never found the time or energy to post. I was truely overwelmed at all the love and support you all gave monkey as im know she is too....such a lovely group pf ladies here, each and everyone of you
Everything i wanted to say to monkey had been said by you all already so i wont repeat, just want you to know you have been in my thoughts constantly and i hope the sun will shine for you again soon xxx
mermaid Half of the emotions i felt were just from reading your posts!
Well im back in the dessert now so if you are in need of more sand you know where to look...Im another one is very excited for you
jools hello again, glad to see you back. It means i dont have to stalk you on fb Im v at your holiday, i know ive just had one but going home somehow just isnt the same i need a holiday to get over this holiday!
I dont beleive you are too old to try ttc, however it doesnt matter how many people tell you this only you can decide, i for one will be willing for that miricle to happen for you x
cupcake fret not about the size of your bump...if you remember my post pre birth the very same thing happend with me. My growth scan said i was only 34 weeks pregnant when in realitly i was 39+4 the main thing to look for is that the baby is the same size all over, you might just be one of the lucky ones who (like me) carries small babies...no need for the scary scissors that 4ever has been taking about in the ante natal classes
neeko did i congratulate you on the birth of H? im sure i did? If not then a belated congrats from me!
H sounds like Devon, re sucking the life out of my boobies. I too tried inficol while back in the uk and it worked so well that i smuggled a further two bottles back in the case with me. It has also stopped the cluster feeding too curly take note it really does work!
4ever i find myself holding my breath while reading your posts I am leading you some stablizers until you give birth! I hope the doctors are reassuring you re the GD, it really is very common in late pregnancy so please try not to worry yourself too much. As for induction, it really isnt that bad, and if it means a safe delievery for summer then it's more than worth it.
mlls forgive me, im not entirly sure what has been happening with you i think i have skipped a page somewhere along the line (i will go back and check) the last i heard you were in hospital, i guess you are out now and feeling better? ill get back to you once i re read!
Once i do re read ill be back to catch up with you all again, as for us we are all fine...slightly tired, achy arms from carrying back extra cases full of Devon's new gifts and slightly drained from such a busy two weeks but on the whole nothing to complain about.
2 weeks has made such a big difference to the baby, we left with a 5 week old, cluster feeder who had to be comforted when not sleeping or eating to returning with a 7 week old who is more than happy to be passed around to thousands of relatives or left on her play mat, she smiles and coo's all the time, has finally accepted that she cant spend all her time sucking my boobs and will take a dummy if really tired or windy. Oh and she can fart for england not sure if its the inficol (sp?) or whether she has finally managed to work out how to ease her discomfort?
One barbie moment of the trip....dh bought us the new babyborn carrier, which he strapped to me and placed devon in..It was a warm day do had a vest top and cardi on so my upper chest was exposed, Devon was facing my chest.......all going really well until someone asked to see her face.........
my little girl looked like she had spent a month in st tropez......
my tan had worn off my chest onto her face!!!!!
I had only put on a little tan as i was feeling tired and washed out on my trip back, thankfully we spotted it before it developed and washed it off.
So lesson number two in my parenting wisdom is never apply fake tan when you have a baby, that comes after lesson number one which is dont try to catch a newborn baby poo!
