Hi ladies!

Aimee - I think its a bit early. I found out I was pregnant at 9 DPO.

To anyone that I missed - hope you are well.

I have bought the support belt for my bump as my scar from c-section has started to hurt now and think the pressure from my boy in there with those weight on him!

I have done a bit of gardening that I havent been doing for couple of years as the garden looks right mess!!!

Hope you all have a nice weekend with gorgeous weather today.

Thanks again everyone. I don't know why but it's really bit me hard. I think maybe because it's our 3rd cycle and this is the cycle we caught with Earl, I'd maybe kind of built it up. Better for me to not hold my hopes high and just wait for AF I think. (I don't do well when I get a major disappointment, and this way I can be over it before the holiday).

 

[MilosMommy7]

i got milo and ava on first cycle. but i'm lucky i guess it'll happen for you a friend of mine just got pregnant after more than a year of trying.

 

[Nanaki]

Aimee, I caught 2nd cycle with Billy and same goes for this lo. What I did was worked for me was that not to think about planning for a baby or thinking sex in trying to get pregnant and just block it out and relax without thinking about it and do your things. It has happened to my friend who just found out shes pregnant without any plan nor trying for a baby and she wanted 3rd but not yet but she is now pregnant and very much in shocked but happy though.

Well, my mum has texted me last night at last min to offer to take my son off us to give us a break and I had to ring her up via typetalk. Told her that Billy was in bed but still playing and she said will come and get him last nght at 9pm. Because she knows that we are going to the cinema to watch Harry Potter with subtitles. Saved her time to rush about today. Feeling strange to wake up to not have Billy sitting next to me! He will be back with us tonight.

But I have noticed in his behaviour, when we visited to hubby's parents and Billy goes shy with them also had to wait about 5 mins, then he will be fine and Billy was all happy to see my Mum almost instantly last night. I told hubby that it might be why that his parents are not doing enough to build the bond with my son like my mum have also my dad, because his mum is always sitting all the time her laptop in her face all the time and didnt play with Billy or offer to change him or whatever. But IDK! lol.

Speak later xxx

Afternoon all,

Aimee: I know what you mean, Chloe was on the 3rd cycle and it would be odd to go past that point, so it's strange in a way. Its soon time to enjoy your holiday!

Nanaki: I think it's to do with effort too. Chloe interacts with Nij's parents and does get a little giddy when the come but they are much older (well about 10yrs older) than my own parents so they don't / can't really play with her like my own parents; when she seems my parents she gets really giddy and straight away yesterday she held her arms out for my Dad . . . she loves playing with Granddad! I barely saw her all day, minus a bum change! I hope that the bump belt stops your old scar hurting

We had a fun weekend away, super tired though although no real late nights! The little ones didn't get to bed until 9.30 friday and we sure paid for that the next day until we got them to nap. Took 4hrs to get to my sisters on Fri, it's only supposed to take 2hrs max Its been so sunny we just let them play outside and then Sunday we did the same at my parents and my Mum made such a scrummy roast beef dinner. That really hit the spot!

Very quick hello while I've got two mins, just so you don't all think I've gone AWOL. Carnival week here, so we're super busy all week. I LOVE it Monty and I were on one of the carnival floats on Sat, and OH was one of the shaking-a-bucket-for-money people. Village fair afterwards, followed by a late BBQ at a friend's house (my mum babysat in the eve). We've got carnival events on all week, but I am working this afternoon while OH and my mum out with Monty. Tonight is the kids' street fair, followed by the grown-ups street party (mum will babysit again for that, all being well!).

Not much happening on the TTC front. Been too busy making fancy dress costumes and such like Still, you never know - they always say the best thing is to forget about TTC and just see what happens!

Kte, glad you had a fab weekend away.

Kaites, hope you're having a lovely time at the lake.

Aimee, sorry re the BFN .

Back again later in the week.

milo's speech therapist and the service coordinator came today. at first he cried when they came into the house. then after a few minutes he calmed down. she played with him and took notes. had him put the shapes in places and showed him animals. tried to get him to look at a book but he had no interest. the therapist asked the coordinator towards the end of the metting "have they done an ASQ3?" (autism screening questionaire) she said yeah, scores came back high. i think they said that thinking i dont know what an ASQ3 is. lol. i'm just feeling better that i dont seem like a crazy woman insisting her child has autism. i knew i was right, but was waiting for a professional to back me up. they said last week his report came through, but they're not sure if it was sent to Milo's pedi. then the therapist said she'll check, and if it wasnt she'll send it so i can get his referral to the developmental pedi.

so glad we got the ball rolling now!

 

[Kte]

Morning all,

Milo'sMummy: Glad Milo settled down and that things are moving on, I bet your feeling much better that things are being sorted for him and your not just some crazy woman!

Colsy: Sounds like lots of fun!

Aimee: I totally forgot to say the other day - well done Earl on singing and actions!

Chaos: Hope your okay x

LK: Did you make a lucky escape or has this guy manned up? Hope your feeling better now too

Flora: How's the sickness?

Best go, on my own, always think of a million things to write until I actually get chance to pop in here then my mind goes blank!

 

[Fraggles]

Hi all

Hope everyone is well, thought I would catch up and send lots of for the ttc ladies

We have some new words at last here not always very clear but we now have chippy chicken and drink can tell he loves his food.

Off into hospital tomorrow again as J has been quite poorly. Going to miss N

 

[littlekitten8]

Hi girls sorry been AWOL. The nausea ended up being a kidney infection so I've been on more antibiotics and had a few days off work and now on annual leave. Patrick has completely disappeared on me so guess he just couldn't be arsed to tell me he didn't fancy seeing me anymore. Friends have said maybe hes been posted (hes in RAF) but I doubt it and surely he could have emailed me?!

Anyhoo we are going to the zoo on thursday with James's half brother and his mum. Should be a good day. Been doing wedding stuff with my best mate this week and so far we have done the hen party gift bags, the kids gift bags for the day, the name cards and the little labels on the bubbles.

 

[Kaites]

ladies!

Hope everyone is having a good week! Been enjoying good beach weather here so not a whole lot to report Been into a nearby town for ice cream this morning and to let Emma play at a local park- the kid is taking after her daddy and spent most of the time trying to do chin-ups

Fraggles- Hope all is okay with you and the boys.

Milosmommy- Glad to hear the appt went well

Colsy- Enjoy the festivities!

LK- Hope you are on the mend Sounds like you have had a really rough time of it lately with illnesses. Enjoy the zoo

Kte- Sounds like you had a nice weekend

Nanaki- Emma is the same with hubby's parents- all shy at first- but with my parents, she'll run to my mum for a hug. Sad but I guess it does sort of show that if the effort to forge a bond is there, the kids do pick up on it.

Aimee- Hope you have a lovely holiday Getting excited?

Well, naptime is probably almost over so I should probably get some tidying done. Hope everyone is well to those that need them!

 

[aimee-lou]

Hello ladies!

Tuesday night - night before my day off! lol

I'm getting very excited Kaites..... It's all getting very close and we've still got all the packing today (guess what I'm doing tomorrow! lol).

Hope we're all ok. Just nipping on breifly as I'm shattered. Hubby has nipped out to the shop to get 2 bars of choccie as we're both still hungry and because we're going away we're eating our way through the cupboards and we've run out of sweet things!

Not a lot to report. Think AF will arrive tomorrow as my tummy is really hard and crampy - oh well. Hubby and I have had a chat and decided if it doesn't happen by the time he starts back at Uni then we'll take a break for a couple of months, and I'm going to try the OPK route to make sure everything is 'working' We'll basically be going back to NTNP though as we're both too lazy to be any more cautious lol.

Anyhoo, best be off to put the kettle on. Must have teas ready to go with the choccie...it's too wet otherwise lol.

milo's report from his eval came in the mail today. i was reading over it and noticed they got some things wrong. they marked him as female, his birth weight as 8 lbs 13 oz (he was really 7.5). it said that both me and thomas are possible LD, when only thomas is. and it said thomas had asthma as a child, when it was me not thomas. so now i gotta get the email of the coordinator that was at his evaluation, email her and have her make corrections.

Wow, that's a lot of mistakes .. I mean 1 or 2, ok, but that many? I'd be cross about that.

 

[Fraggles]

I can understand ticking a box wrong for sex but the rest is bad it shows people don't listen even when its important info.

Aimee are you going away on holiday?

I'm sat here bored silly. Need a nap but can't. Staff at the hospital are great though

 

[Kte]

I agree, that is a lot of mistakes, I'd be worried that something was always going to be wrong! Although I am wondering if the sex and weight is becasue they just used another form and didn't change the details . . . but still, in that line of work, it should be checked first!

Fraggles: Will anyone be able to come and take over for you to nap at any point?

 

[Fraggles]

He only wants me. Hoping he sleeps tonight and doesn't pull his tube out again. We have bloods and ecg 2 hourly tomorrow so no chance to nap.

How's everything going kte?

 

[Kaites]

Fraggles- hope tomorrow goes okay and that you guys are home soon Hospital stays are never fun

 

[colsy]

Fraggles, I hope hospital all goes well. I've missed quite a bit of BnB so I don't know why you're in, but just wanted to say I'm thinking of you.

MilosMommy, I think that's shocking re the errors in the document. The only thing I would say is are you sure they've given you the right document? The reason I ask is because a few years ago, we had a survey done on a house we were trying to get a mortgage for. The bank returned the survey document, and we read it thinking 'Oh god, there's no way we can buy this house, it's pretty much collapsing into the ground'. And then we were like 'Hold on, this document talks about a garage. The house we're buying doesn't even have a garage!' And then we realised they'd sent us completely the wrong document, so basically they'd passed on a load of completely confidential stuff to totally the wrong person Maybe worth checking?

Aimee, if you check in before your hols, I hope you have an ab-fab time. Where you off to?

Chaos, I hope you're starting to feel more like yourself again.

Kaites, hope you're enjoying the lake.

LK, shame on the bloke that can't even be polite enough to let you down in person.

Hope everyone else is doing ok xx
