Hello all, I'm sorry for lack of posting. Had my sister and nieces to stay for the past 10 days or so and we've been taking advantage of the lovely weather and have been out all day every day. I've been reading via my phone but its a nightmare to do any kind of post from it. Will attempt a proper catch up....
iggy glad you are enjoying your maternity leave and that you have such a nice consultant. I know what you mean about not using computers when you are not working.... Isn't it about time we start an babyiggy sweepstake
jools 12DPO but seriously, when are you going to give in and test. C'mon, you know you want to... Glad you enjoyed the open air theatre - it is wonderful, especially when the weather is as nice as it is at the moment. Hope you are not working quite so hard this week.
monkey oh love, you have been through such a lot that I am not surprised you are depressed. Really hope that you can have a rest once school finishes this week and hope it helps you recharge your batteries. I don't know much about depression and treatment and there are others on here who have much more useful advice.
sabs poor Saara . Teething is just horrible. Can only echo what has already been said. Calpol and/or nurofen worked for us. The teething powders didn't seem to do much (we tried everything). It is trial and error though because every child reacts in different ways. Hope she gets the teeth through soon and you can recover.
mermaid lovely to see you back. How are things going? Have been thinking about you loads x
mls 25 weeks! How are you feeling? You must be so excited about Florida. Hope you have a lovely time x
barbie I'm sorry you are still having such a lack of sleep. And being without a/c in Dubai must be very hard so I'm relieved you got it fixed. (Am currently doing my annual whinge about lack of a/c in our bedroom which was 27 degrees last night). Loved the pic of D sucking her toes
moon lovely to see you back posting (can you tell we were worried...) but I'm sorry you are still having such problems in RL . Hope your sister gets better soon. Hearing about other people getting PG when you desperately want to is just the pits. I remember being in floods of tears when my step-sister announced she was pg with her first, 3 months after getting married. I was pleased for her but gutted for me. We had been trying for 18 months by that point. Still have FX for you that this is your month.
vjay boo to swimming getting cancelled but yay for doing more studying. Fabulous that DS1 is riding his bike, you must be over the moon. And Ajay onto chopped up food already, well done!
blue poor B getting chicken pox too. Hopefully he will get a very mild dose.
QA I hope things resolve soon. It sounds as though you are having a really rough time at the mo. If you want to off-load more then you we are here to listen/help in any way we can.
cupcake you sound in babyheaven . How are things healing up?
4ever you too . Well done on taking Summer for her first restaurant trip and for posting your epic birth story. You sounded totally un-weebly throughout.
LBM have gathered from your FB updates that you are struggling with J wanting to be attached to you. Poor you (and her of course)! Hope you sort it out soon.
choccie you have my total sympathies on the TTC front. I had a struggle to get PG with DTs (2 years of TTC followed by clomid) and that was hard enough without having gone through 2 mc's. I too will be petrified if I get PG again. Will be waving pom-poms for you and please come on here and vent whenever necessary.
Waves to BQ, Gracie, Neeko, Annie, Buddha and anyone else I've forgotten.
Had an absolutely lovely week off with my sis and nieces, lots of trips out to the beach and an amusement park. I think I have 2 adrenaline junkies. DS2 has asked every day since when we can go back. Oh and we've booked a holiday for October (10 days in Lanzarote - yay) but that might mean I'm not around for your meet up (boo).
Not sure what is going on with my body though - no +OPK at all, but am now on CD22 (normal cycles are 24 days) and have bad cramps, nausea and am generally knackered (although that could be the heat and lack of sleep). Have given in and bought some FRER and may test if no AF by tonight as I'm off for a girlie night out. Someone please slap me and tell me I'm imagining things. Its all going to end in disappointment isn't it....
