Aphrodites Concieving Rabbits in 2011

Ok what to tell you.... I started dating him when I was 22 and he was 36 , yes yes I know there is quite the age gap there but I'd been best friends with his brother Jason who was around my age for 4 years prior to us dating. I'd had relationships with other men, whom I thought I was in love with because I was naive and even though they abused me I thought that they loved me and that's what love was, well I had moved in with his youngest brother Jason after leaving my first child's father. My first child was given up for adoption because of his father's abuse and death threats. So I got to know him then, he was married at the time so we just chatted here and there when I seen him. Well I ended up dating his middle brother Mike, and we only dated for a short while but I was going through a rough time so I ended up moving in with Mike and sleeping on his couch. Jason and his wife at the time ( who also happens to be my best friend as well) were also living with Mike. Now Paul (that's his name) was living in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (a province away) at the time but he was working in Edmonton. It's a 4 hour drive so he would work 10 days on and get 4 off. Well around the time I was living with Mike and sleeping on his couch Paul's marriage was starting to dissolve and so he and I used to have super long chats at night after he'd get home from work and everyone else had gone to bed. In the 18 months before we had started dating we became really close. In this time I had been dating and engaged to Corrie's (Paul's youngest brother's wife at the time) brother whose name is Micheal and became pregnant. Well he ended up cheating on me so I broke up with him and I really wasn't mentally in a place at that time to be having a baby so I ended up giving the baby up for adoption too. There is a really long story behind it that I really don't wish to get into at the moment. Well at the time I had become pregnant I really just decided I needed time to myself so I ended up separating myself from Paul and Mike. Well just after I had, had my 2nd child I ended up getting a text message to my email asking how I was and what I had been up to and if Paul could take me out so we could talk. I emailed back and told him NO problem. So that night he picked me up and we went back to his newly purchased home. Well we ended up watching a movie and talking all night and I ended up falling asleep at 4 am. He carried me to his bed and we cuddle for the rest of the night until we woke up that afternoon. I ended up staying the whole weekend and we had our first real date a week later where he took me to the exhibition that was on and wound up spending close to $1000 on me. Our relationship can only be described as whirlwind and I fell for him very fast. It wasn't hard he was one of my best friends for the longest time. Well around the year mark he decided that he and I at that time were on way different pages, I had a lot of growing up to do, he knew I had the potential because he'd seen me through some of the worst times a person could ever go through. Our relationship was very bumpy due to the fact I have depression issues and I was going through a lot. It was very hard on him but he held me up and helped me through it. When he felt I was ready to do the rest of the journey to finding myself on my own he told me that we had to part ways. There were things he wanted to do but he couldn't do with me. That break up was by far the hardest I have ever been through. It took me a year to actually accept that we were over and we may never be again. But it's taken me 3 years to get over him and I'm still not fully over him. He had been in a relationship with a woman whom I REALLY dislike and who he was not happy with and everyone could tell he wasn't happy. Well about 3 weeks ago he started emailing me non-stop, up till this point he and I only had contact once every couple of weeks for maybe a day or two until we would stop talking because he drives tow truck so he is very busy and doesn't have a lot of time. Well the last 3 weeks it's been non-stop and it's not just asking about life, it's talking about us, and how he wishes we were together, sending me dirty pictures. Just stuff I know if he was in a relationship he would not do. So we just decided yesterday to try and make this work. It will be hard because at this point we're on opposite ends of the country and so I won't get to see him often but I do talk to him everyday. So I'm cautiously hopeful that this will be the start of our forever.

Oh and thanks for the birthday wishes!
 
joli - nope definitely won't be together for christmas or our anniversary (28 Dec). i see him 23 nov - 6 dec and then after that i'm going to try and fly out to kosovo with my friend and see him mid february. that will be right after valentines, but right before both our birthdays as well. :happudance: then he should HOPEFULLY be home in april. there is rumor they might extend there though, so it's not a guarantee. just counting the days until it's all over! we aren't stationed together though, so even after he's back we're not guaranteed to see each other either. just doing all we can to make it work!
 
wow sm what a story! GL in the rekindle.

Aww never I really hope u get to spend some more time together next year x
 
Liana Have I ever told you how much your husband looks like the one main character on Army wives? LOL... Hopefully next year you'll be spending much more time together.

GG- Thanks I need all the luck I can get

i can definitely see it, my husband has more of a square jaw
 
definite cutie Never....gosh I hope you guys see each other before the new year but if you dont how exciting of a reunion will that be. I think what you guys do is amazing btw if I havent said that before.

Sweetmama- cool story, glad you guys are working it out. I really want good things for you :hugs:

Taebo- how is this cycle going?

Chia- I know you're busy with work but wanted to say hello :hugs:
 
you're so sweet britt :) i get a smile on my face when i see your preggo ticker. eek! i hope i'm next! my husband said the sweetest thing to me yesterday. he said "you make me happier a million miles away than anyone has ever made me face to face" <3 i've already got my referral to the off post fertility specialist here in germany just waiting for word back from my insurance to see which ones they cover and what my next steps are. i'm pretty stoked!
 
you WILL be very soon Never! You guys are young and you havent had a really decent amount of time TTC. One thing I thought of is my timing, I would always go in for the IUI the day after the positive opk but I really think I O on the day of my +ve opk....we only bd the day of this last cycle (and 3 days before that). So timing may have a lot to do with it and sometimes it just takes more time and the right cycle.
I think you guys will be fine, but it is nice to get the tests done and see an FS and put your mind at ease that all is okay.
hugs
 
Sweetmama - wow, what a great story bringing back an old flame :) I really hope things work out for you, especially after everything you've already been through.

Britt - your ticker has moved up! woohoo!!! Doesn't it make you so excited when it does that? How are you feeling?

Nevertogether - your man is gorgeous! That totally sucks that you don't get to spend Christmas together, I suppose Nov and Valentines is better than nothing, but it must be so hard. Are you guys able to go on webcam a lot?

Taebo and Chia - how are you ladies doing?
 
joli - :haha: don't tell him that, he might get a big head! :rofl: it does stink, but we're actually used to not being together on the holidays so it's not too much of a discomfort for us. as long as we see each other, we're happy. and yes, we do get to do webcam a lot. we talk on yahoo and e-mail a good majority of every single day!
 
Hey ladies,

Please forgive me for not posting sooner! I have peeked in a couple of times...but just didn't have time to write a message. In fact, there's things I SHOULD be doing right now, but hey, I wanted to check in with you ladies!

GG--Looks like you had your LO!!!!Congratulations! I want to hear your birth stroy!!!

Sweetmama--I hope everything works out with your old flame. Keeps us in the know, okay?

Nevertogether--How many cycles have you and hubby tried? I didn't think it was that many. I really believe it will happen for you guys. The fact that you have to wait out so many cycles makes it seem a lot longer, but I didn't think you had that many workable cycles. Keep the faith.:hugs:

Britt--How's your pregnancy going? Any symptoms? I think of you often and always get a smile on my face, knowing that your dream is coming true. I'm so very happy for you!

Well ladies, I got interrupted by life while trying to post, and know it's time to take the kids to their dentist appointment. So I'll have to post more at a later time.

Take care!
 
hi babe :hugs: we were NTNP from October 2007 - October 2008 until DH shipped for basic. after that still NTNP from December 2008 - December 2009. With only a few months breaks in between. Actively TTC we are on TTC cycle #5.

my OB/GYN was pretty okay with the fact of the length of NTNP and actively TTC that we have done to refer us offpost.
 
thanks taebo, yep I did here you go.

My gorgeous girl Libby was born at 3.30am on 30th October 2010, two weeks early but a healthy 6lb 11oz


my little pumkin

A breif bit of the birth story

waters went wednesday 4.30am as you know, labour started stopped started stopped, induction booked for sat morning 9am 72 hrs after waters, shopping on friday went to the loo and noticed discharge has turned green possibly meconium straight to maternity ward and they checked the pad and sent me down to delivery suite for an inductiont there and then friday 4pm, given antibiotics and syntoxin was given at 7pm I was checked and cervix was barely visible and hind waters still there apparantly head high up, used tens machine and was left to progress for 4 hours, after 4 hours was barely able to cope with pain and when I was checked I was 5cm! in 4 hours... ouchy! started gas and air to cope and oberservations showed that bp was sky high and needed intervention, was asked about epidural as it brings bp down, was so scared and didnt want one but had an excellent midwife who really help me calm down and make the decision to have one. Didnt like all the contractions while they were doing it but coped with gas and air, aahhh I was a total different person afterwards, it worked a dream!! could feel my legs and could feel the tightenings of contractions.. I started feeling her head moving down, kind of felt like it was going to fall out my bum! they wouldnt check me early as if they did they would have to start the clock for pushing if the head was visiable, during the last couple of hours everytime I had a contraction the her heartbeat dipped and I new the cord was round her neck but we were reassured it was normal and baby was happy she was probs just pressing on her cord, come 3am when they checked me head was visable right at the top, I told mw I could feel her moving down and was starting to feel like I needed to push she didnt beleive me but I new she was coming, 20 mins of pushing and she was out! little monster had her cord wrapped round her neck twice! but she was safe and healthy, was so overwealmed with love, relief and shock, no tears just a couple of grazes, have needed no painkillers since the birth, my god Im glad I had an epidural!

Had to stay in hospital till the sunday afternoon to be monitered for infection with waters breaking early and she isnt a very good feeder and not latching on properly and I think I have very flat nipples so have started using nipple shields which I think are going to work a treat!
