Hi girls !
I'm so happy to see new 'faces' on the thread. Welcome to shazz, juniper and Molly
And chook I can't believe you are double PUPO!!! Any stick testing coming up? I hope the rest of the frosties reached blasts too
Kirst, take2 and Maddy I love hearing your preggo updates - it won't be long before we have a whole batch of new birth announcements.
Maddy what a beautiful gift for your bday having felt your baby- truly amazing !
Kirst get used to seeing the pink baby things and cot etc as you are bound to be inundated with baby things by the time bubs arrives. Our house now looks like a baby museum !!!
Re: IUI - we went straight to IVF so I didn't have the option. I'm glad we did as we got a few frosties from the cycle which one is now our dear baby.
Ivf meds are higher dosage than IUI as they want to stimulate lots of follies as opposed to one lead follicle.
Wish, your girl is so cute!! 7 weeks already -- can't believe it.
What kind of baby is she? Marlon was a placid little tjing until a couple of days ago where he has started becoming fussy and unsettled . All he wanted to do yesterday and today is feed feed feed or he would cry cry cry !!! My nipples have taken a beating . Ouchy !
I have been reading Wonder Weeks which says 4-5 weeks is when babies take a developmental leap making them get all fussy.
Re: preparing for newborn-- I think Kirst you asked -- every day is different but I think the first few days bubs will be sleeping a lot and be fairly compliment with feeding routines etc. you will be changing A LOT of nappies and washing baby clothes like crazy as they tend to spew on themselves or wee or poo themselves regularly. You will need countless number of wipes !!! They are very noisy when they sleep, grunting snuffling, groaning etc and it may make you worried that something is wrong but it's normal. Best of all you will be marvelling at your baby nonstop - all their facial expressions gestures are so cute.
I find that 'Baby love' by Robin Barker has been most useful book- it will become your reference book for everything x
