AF due July 23/24? Looking for a buddy?

[Coleey]

I'm okay thanks hun, how are you? My af arrived yesterday and my godddddd is she painful!! Weirdest cycle ever, but I guess that was to be expected after my last one. Onwards and upwards, it WILL happen this cycle, going to make sure we dtd every other day for the WHOLE cycle! That'll be from when af buggers off until late into my cycle.. Muahahaha!

I'm also thinking about stopping Alex completely with breastfeeding. He only nurses once a day, but I can't help but think it's not helping. I've talked to a midwife here and back in the UK, both give different advice. The midwife in the UK said they encourage women to keep going in pregnancy, and poses no risk to the pregnancy, but the midwife here said they recommend women to stop as it's hard on your body. It's really tugging at my heart strings as I love that moment with Alex! I know he doesn't need it now, it's just a comfort thing, it's just hard! Feel like I'll lose my special connection with him too.. What do you ladies think?

Sorry for the rant! Can't believe how far you guys are now! It's gone well fast!

Good luck with your scan today tbell! Hope everyones well xxx

Baby brain scan is on fri lol don't know y I Put thurs lol at the 10 week scan I got a date for my 20 week scan and then another one for 29 weeks, I think it's just a growth scan to make sure the baby isn't too big or too small,

I think I have nearly everything in, my sil came up the other day with a Moses basket for ms to borrow so I think that's the last thing,

My bags are packed just incase and I'm getting the house all painted ready now and just waiting on bubba to come lol

Has anyone tested I'm waiting on your results I hope you all get your BFP soon

To all the pregnant ladies lol I'm terrible with remembering how to spell names etc before I start typing lol how are all your pregnancies coming along, any bad symptoms etc

Xxx

What does it say onthe Side of it I cant read it on my phone xx

 

[Coleey]

Ohh I'm not sure what it says, think it's a company. It was the pictures on it that made me laugh!
How was your scan? xx

 

[t-bell]

My scan went really well. Everything looks good baby measuring exactly to date still only thing is he is breech but still has plenty of time to turn, doctor who was scanning ms couldn't find the baby's head lol I assured her it was there in the last 2 scans lol I get an extra scan at 35 weeks now to see ifbaby has turned, the past week baby has been squirming about and I keep getting kicks on different sides lol.
I think this month you should get at it like rabbits lol the pic was quite funny I did laugh at it, I thought it would have been funnier if I could read the van lol I should try and translate what it says lol

Xx

 

[Coleey]

Glad everything went well hun! Like you said, plenty of time for baby to turn! Sounds like he might be trying to though. I really miss all of those jabs and pokes!

I asked my oh to explain the text lol. Apparently "Frenrus" is a word for people who have graduated in this area, and the last part is when they graduated.. 2006.. As it says 2000 and sex

Thats the plan at least lol hopefully af goes away soon! Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend xx

Hello ladies

Sorry i've not been about, i'm glad to hear everyone is doing well though. T-Bell thats wonderful news about your scan, and fingers crossed he turns the right way up And at least if nothing else at least you get to see your little man again
Coleey i'm sorry your AF is being a pain (hehe cos u said she was painful) ahem crap joke but i hope she sods off soon so you and your hubby can get down to business
As for the breastfeeding thing, i think its something that you should decide on your gut instinct. Take into consider why you do it an what the benefits are for continuing and for stopping. I understand about the comfort thing though and it's probably a routine thing for you too. But at the end of the day, if you do stop it certainly wont break the special bond the two of you have = and if you're concerned when the time comes that you'd normally breastfeed, replace it with cuddle time or storytime or something. Good luck on what you decide to do.

Everything with me is great, my baby girl is 2 tomorrow sometimes i look and she amazes me at how advanced she is for her age....then i'll look again and think awww she's just a baby. But she's two tomorrow!!! It's hard to get my head around.
AND my amazing fiance has bought me an ammmaaazzzziinngg phone. Mine is broke c os lilly think's its a ball and throws it around....so he's ordered me a ridiculously fab (but outrageously pricey) new phone. I cant wait for it to come it'll be here before the 30th

I hope everyone is well and having a lovely saturday night Anyone heard from Mari?

xXx

P.S. Cos i'm such a child that van picture tickled me more than it should lol

 

[Coleey]

Good to see you Tia! Hope you're having a great weekend!
Aww bless her! What are you doing for her birthday? It's crazy how fast they grow up and learn, your little lady is a sweetheart!
Ohh thats really nice of him, bless him! What phone are you getting?

Thanks hun Sigh, why can't they stay smaller for longer? Last night I started reducing the length he nurses at bedtime, he gets a longer cuddle and he seems fine with it. When I work in the evening hes completely fine without it, as Erik puts him to bed. He definitely knows I'm wrapped around his lil finger!!

I'm absolutely shattered after my morning workout..... xx

 

[Coleey]

Happy 2nd Birthday to your lovely lil lady Tia! Hope she has a lovely day!
I just realised that because of the time difference, it might have been yesterday! xx

 

[Wilsey]

Sorry I've been AWOL! Moved into the new house (sort of - bedroom is in the living room while we gut the bedrooms and do all the work we need to do). No internet at home yet so can only get on for a bit at work.

Happy bday to Lilly darl - hope she had a magical day xx

Hope everyone else is well!!

P.S Cole - good to hear you put your all into your morning workout

 

[Mariposa21]

Wow not long now wilsley for you x x Just had a look at your ticker and it's gone so fast. It doesn't seem like two weeks since I was saying how lovely ya wedding pics were hehe.*

Kinda sad though because it makes me realise that I've not even come close to a BFP in all the time I've been on the forum. *Sorry if been a little quiet, bit hard sometimes to find something to chat about and to be cheeriy when everyone in your forum has now conceived or have already 1 or 2 children *but i am of course thrilled for you guys and you are all fab! I also totally get that whether it's your 1st or 5th you still feel exactly the same when it's taking a while to ttc. I suppose I'm feeling a little despondent as, naively perhaps, i used to happily plan the future as though conceiving would just happen when I wanted it to which is rather delusional after a VR. I know, to some, ttc for nine months and moaning about it must be laughable especially to long term ttc'ers but lately, although I'm not a weeping mess, I just feel as though it's not going to happen and when I talk about me being pregnant its like I'm talking about this huge impossibility, like I'm just playing at it. Ttc makes me feel like I'm stuck in limbo in terms of career and money as I don't want to commit to anything major as in nine months time I might be popping off to raise a family for 5-10 years and then I look and think that a lot is hanging on that 'might' and it could take years so should I carry on as normal??*

Anyway lol rant over. You are all so brill and supportive so maybe I feel little bit sorry for myself because I'm like I wanna join in all the lovely conversations and the excitement x but it will come thank you guys for being great friends x*

 

[Coleey]

Exciting Wilsey! Won't be long before it's all done, make sure you put your feet up though!

Massive hugs Mari! I know how you feel, I can't believe how fast time goes when you're TTC! I know I have my son, and I know I'm so lucky to have him, but these months while trying to TTC have been difficult. This time has been so much harder, and I've had doubts myself if I'll ever be lucky enough to have another, but we just need to keep our chins up and stay positive! Carry on as normal hun, live your life and make the most of the opportunities you have. I think it'll take a lot of stress off TTC. It WILL happen! 2012 is our year honey!!

We love ya lots and we're always here for you! Don't feel like you can't join in either hun, this thread wouldn't be the same without you! xx

 

[Mariposa21]

Thank you Cooley, that's really lovely of you x

 

[Wilsey]

I totally understand Mari . I felt like the 5 months it took to conceive this one were the longest of my life. Even though I would be chatting to people who had been trying for two years and logically I should realise that up to a year is normal, it's hard to turn those feelings off. I was starting to think maybe I'm just one of those people who can't have children. You try your whole early life to not get pregnant and when you finally do try you think it should be easy.

In sex ed they make it sound like as soon as a penis touches a vagina - BAM - you are pregnant. I had no idea there was only a two day window where conception was possible. Naive and silly as that sounds.

I agree with Cole. I think continue your life as normal, as though you weren't planning to get a BFP, and when it happens everything will fall into place. Don't deny yourself things you want in the meantime.

We LOVE you and totally understand the days or weeks where you are a little quiet because you aren't feeling up to chatting happily about TTC or pregnancy. Don't forget though...this is a TTC thread...technically we are the naughty cling on's

Mwha xxx

 

[Mariposa21]

Aww such a lovely lovely message. Thank you totally agree with you, I feel so stupid now looking back on what I didnt take in to account so the first few months we may not have even bd at right time lol must admit I am loads better because a few months ago I was devastated when af came xx

 

[Tia Maria]

God you're all so self centred sometimes = how dare you all get soppy and sentimental without me! hehe I'm j/k of course.

The ladies are right though Mari, don't put your life on hold, enjoy your life and dont let TTC become your whole world. Have as much fun and laughter as you can and then when you do get pregnant (which of course you will) then you're whole world will become your little baby.
And don't ever feel misplaced or like you cant join in in here, the fact is whether we are all TTC or all Pregnant....we are all here for eachother no matter what stage in our baby making process we're at. We all love ya darlin

Anyway you need to come back in cos you need to listen to me brag about my new awesome phone My sweetheart got me the Samsung Galaxy s 2, and its fantastic!!!!!!

Wilsey how's the move going???? How is everyone???? I hope everyone is well this evening

much love to ya'll

xXx

 

[t-bell]

Mari I couldn't agree more with everyone else, it will happen for you and I think we are a wee bit of clingers on lol but please come on and keep talking about your journey and tell us to give over,

Wisley I'm sure you'll be so happy in a couple of weeks or so when you have it all finished and homely

Xx

 

[Wilsey]

How is everyone?!?! This thread has been quiet!

 

[Coleey]
