Hi Ladies and happy new year to all of you! Lets hope this is the year of the babies!! Sorry I have been MIA a bit but been on holiday and only got back recently. Its summer here so this is when most people go on holiday. So sad that it must come to an end
Bazz - any news on LO? Are you still waiting? Not long now. Yippeeee!!!
A1983 - congrats on being Pregs again! So is that basically everyone on this thread?? I definitely recommend testing only every few days. I drove myself mad testing every day and waiting for the line to get darker. Those early days are so long and hard but fingers crossed, everything is going great. With both successful pregnancies, my MS only kicked in at about 6 - 7 week.
MrsNJR - I also feel totally unprepared. I tried to pack a bit of a hospital bag last night but didn't get very far. Like you, we have most things from DS (feeling a little guilty that this LO isn't get too much new at this stage) but also don't want to prepare a whole new baby room when DS will probably want a big boy room in the next few months and the new baby will be sleeping with us for the first few months anyway. Like you, I do have some wardrobe issues in that DS was born when it was coming into Winter and this one is arriving in peak summer. If only we lived closer - we could just do a wardrobe swop! I have so many fluffy warm baby suits. Other than a few bits and bobs, all I've purchased is a new double pram, and second hand compactum and a second monitor.
Angel - sorry to hear that your last pregnancy ended in MC but congrats on the latest BFP. I have everything crossed that this works out for you. Have you been prescribed progesterone? I have had supplements with all successful pregnancies as I also suffer from prog deficiency - maybe also my age?? What were your last bloods?
From my side, I am desperately uncomfortable (don't remember being like this with Josh at all) - swollen feet, huge belly and its hot hot hot here. I should be wallowing in the swimming pool. In some ways I just want this baby out but in other ways I really feel like I need the time to prepare and spend some valuable time with Josh before it arrives. Im starting to fear labour but I guess there is nothing I can do. It has to come out somehow. Seeing the OBGYN on Monday and going to ask about being induced again. My mum lives 5 hours away and needs to be here to look after Josh so knowing an approximate date will really help with planning. We have no names at this stage. I can see that being a problem. Anyone got any suggestions? I am back at work for a week or two but really looking forward to just putting my feet up and having a few days of nothing before the baby arrives.
Other than that, all is well. Josh only just started walking over the holidays (at 18 months - nearly 19 months!!!) I had taken him to the Paed a just before because I was starting to panic a little but she said he is totally fine and just a lazy little boy
He is very cautious and still worn attempt to walk on very hard surfaces but will happily jump on a trampoline without holiday on. Strange kid!! He is really growing up now but I am still worried about how he will be when new baby arrives. I still rock him to sleep at night (I can't help myself - love the special time) and he still sometimes moves to my bed in the middle of the night which means DH has to move beds in the middle of the nights. Now we're going to throw a new born in the mix. Oh boy!!!
Ok this is turning into a bit of a novel here so I better go and do some work. Happy friday everyone and have lovely weekends. xxx
I just need to make it to Jan 22 when I get my first scan, keep sticking! Betas are much much lower this round than with last, but are doubling FX'd it keeps up!
fingers crossed and lots of prayers it's a forever baby in there
I'm anxious for your updates when Josh becomes a big brother...I get sad thinking about not being able to give Pierce 100% of my attention <~~I think this is normal
