Hello ladies!!! Long time no 'see'! Really nice to read a couple of updates and to hear mums and babies are still all doing so well!

Brianna is doing great, bar a horrible cold that she's had for a few days! She's 10 months now and has been pulling herself up and cruising round the furniture for a month already, so I think she'll be an early walker too. She randomly has EIGHT teeth already - in fact she had them all by the time she was 6 months!!! Luckily she didn't suffer too badly with them, despite getting one or two a week for a couple of months!

Is everyone ready for Christmas? I'm about half way there I guess, but I've got the cold too so all energy and motivation have vanished for now! Bar a bit of online shopping, hence being on here now. I'm looking for opinions on Ergos or Manducas, as someone has offered to buy us a back carrier for Christmas. B is just too heavy for the Moby now!

I can hear B stirring, so I'd better get back to my little snot-pot! I hope all of you and the gorgeous littlies have lovely first Christmasses. xxxxx

Hi girls

I can't believe Meme is walking ! Wow, when that start ? Patrick only started crawling properly about 2 months ago. He's pulling himself up on the furniture but he doesn't want to let go.

And Brianna has 8 teeth ! Man, Patricks not doing so well and he's the oldest

Good to hear that you're doing so well. When I logged in, I went back to the beginning of this thread and read the first few pages. Verrrryyy weird. 18 months ago we were in such a different place.

I've been sick too, Kit. I've had 7 weeks of non-stop illness, it's crap ! I got pharyngitis which drugs cured in a week, but I had a horrible hoarse voice and felt sick for 2 weeks. Then we went to Fiji happydance and I got another cold. Had that for a week and just as it seemed to be going away, it came back with a vengeance. Ended up with a really bad sinus infection (2 weeks) and this cough I can't shake. Very very tired and very sick of being sick. I hope you feel better !

I;m not really organised for Christmas. My husbands gone until just before and the kids are on school holidays and my house is a mess and etc...!

Anyway, Patrick is perfect. He's just so ridiculously adorable and cuddly and beautiful. Seriously, the who;e famly just sits around him in admiration ! Better stop that before he gets spoiled He's had 2 bottom teeth for a while, and he's just cutting some top teeth now, super dribbly and chewy.

Soooooooo, anyone feeling clucky ?!!! Who wants to go again ?

Happy 1st Christmas to the cautious babies!

Here is my little man looking christmassy!!

Hope Santa came and brought lots of goodies

 

[VGibs]

Awwwwwwwww our babes all look so grown up now! LOL

 

[VGibs]

Oh dear........so me and Ian had a condom break on new years eve...the day I was OV'ing...and now I am in the TWW. Not to mention that if we did conceive the baby would be due on our flipping wedding day!

 

[Smudgelicious]

Me too V ! I was tracking everything pretty well, but I think I mistook an af in Nov for spotting which makes my cycle shorter than I thought. Long story short, I'm having spotting right now which I can't figure out unless it's implantation.
How heavy is IB normally ?

We talked about another one but I didn't think this soon. Patrick is 1 in 2 weeks.

I'm not testing for another week (if I can hold out) how about you ?

 

[VGibs]

Well I bought tests....I'm going to try and wait until Saturday but thats still only like 9 dpo. Those tests are calling my name!!! Lol

 

[Smudgelicious]

Hmm, appears we are at pretty much the exact same CD ! Af started Dec 20?
I'm finding this. Spotting thing vv weird. It's just......spotting, no heavier no lighter. For 2 days now. Boobs feel slightly heavier too. Patrick weaned a month ago and theyve been smaller since then.

I'm not sure how I feel about this....another baby.......so soon ? At the same time, it would be wonderful. Hate this TWW bs !

 

[VGibs]

My boobs are kind of hurting but Meme weaned last month too so Im not sure if its AF making her mark on my newly weaned bewbies or what. I'm having horrible gas pains too and some funny cramping. I flushed the FMU this morning so I wouldn't be tempted to test. I'm going for a girl night out tonight so I really hope I can sneak my out of drinking a few with no explanation :S

 

[Smudgelicious]

Still spotting and going mad. I don't want to test yet or anytime soon really. As much as I'd like to be pg, I sort of don't want to be at the
moment iykwim ?

But I'm obsessing a bit, paying TOO much attention to every twinge and flicker. Next thing I'll be poking and squeezing my bosom every minute .....
I'm not buying any HPTs, if there's any sticks in the house I'll pee on every one of them.

 

[VGibs]

hahaha I'm having a hard time waiting to test...I told Ian I will wait until tomorrow but I doubt ill be able to hold off

 

[Smudgelicious]

Did you do it ???

 

[Smiler79]

hi ladies i will try and attach a pic of imogen soon but not really sure how to do it!

i am quite jealous of you guys even though neither of you are% sure you want to be pregnany again. I am desperate to be pregnant again (even though i have been diagnosed with mild post natal depression) but hubby is still saying he doesnt want anymore.

I have decided to leave contraception up to him for a whils as i was the one being responsible for 11 years despite being desperate for a baby. I also dd try the mimi pill while i was breastfeeeding but didnt get on woth it and i dont see the point of going back on the pill for now.

I am hoping that leaving it up to him could lead to a happy accident as we have already had a few occasions when we have got carried away and i have not reminded him to use a condom!!! Unfortunatley it has been the wrong time of my cycle so no joy.

SOme people might feel i am being sneaky but SImon knows i really want another baby and i have been honest woth him telling him thati am not going to remind him about condoms so if he doesnt bither and we get pregnant that it is down to him.

I am hoping that as it has been quite a few occasions that we have not been careful that deep down Simon is willin to think about having another one.

Imogen is beautiful and amazes me every day. She is walking with a push along and is not far off walking independently. She has just cut her 2 top teeth so has 4 now and i dont think she is far off talking!!

I know what you mean sudge about where we all were 18months ago and where we are now. I feel so incredibly lucky to have my beautiful baby girl but still think about m angel all the time.

 

[VGibs]

Ya I did it...bfn but it was after I drank like 2 liters of water the night before and it was SMU

Why does your husband not want anymore kids??? Does he have a reason?? Ian is desperate for more but really wants to wait until we are married. My sister found out yesterday that she is having a boy! Which is a mixed blessing because it will be our first baby boy in my family but her little girl is SOOOO badly behaved and hyper that she worries a boy will be worse

[Smiler79]

it is nice to know i am not alone in how i am feeling.

v hubby said when i met him 12 years ago that he didnt want to get married or have children so the fact that we are marries with a baby he feels he has done all the compromising although i comprised big time by waiting til i was 31 to have my first baby (well first woth him that i have with me anyway)

HOweverhe has always known that i want two children and dont want imogen to be an only child so i hope he will change his mond in time. I just wish he would hurry up as i am already broody again and i was 32 just before christmas so dont want to wait to much longer


Just been looking at all the pics of our bubbas. They are all sooooooooo cute!!!

 

[Smudgelicious]

Any more tests Virginia ? I haven't, it's just cd 23 now. I think the spotting is finally ending. It was 6 days, never got heavy, really weird ! All the stuff I read about implantation bleeding was so varied, I couldn't really make a decision either way.

Hurry up and test, I'm symptom spotting myself crazy here !

 

[VGibs]

I'm going to wait until tomorroqw night....I am almost 100% sure I have no baby bean. I just have way too many AF symptoms so I am gonna do one more test tomorrow and if it's BFN then I'm calling off the TWW

I'm kind of bummed out but also makes me more excited to "try" after our wedding.
