AWWW thats so sweeeeet!!! I almost started crying!!

 

[LoolaBear]

I just found this poem for the card!!!! so amazing! perfect!

I do not have a face to see,
Or put inside a frame.
I do not have soft cheeks to kiss.
I don't yet have a name.

Not yet can you hold my tiny hands,
Nor whisper in my ear.
It's still too soon to sing a song,
Or cuddle me so near.

But all that will change come this October;
When they say I am due.
I am your newest grandchild;
And I can't wait until I meet you!

All I ask between now and then
Is your love for me to grow.
I promise I'll be worth the wait;
Just think of all the joy we'll know!

So as you're waiting patiently,
Please pray lots of prayers for me.
I cannot wait to be a part
Of this wonderful family!

Maybe try the 1st trimester forum for ideas?

We are all TTC and lots of us haven't even had a BFP yet (at least I haven't)

I really don't mean anything negative by this, but I was trying to say that it's hard for some of us to read see this thread since we're still TTC and some (at least I am) very down about not having a BFP.

And actually, I think there's a forum specifically for BFP announcements and users are strongly encouraged to refrain from not putting BFP announcements on this forum, for the reasons stated above.

Sorry, I know you are excited and I am happy for you. And I do understand your wanting to tell your friends on this forum. But it's still hard for the rest of us who are still BFNs. Maybe a private message?

No hard feelings and best of luck to you and your bean

 

[mummyvikki]

Im going to do same as you hun,make a xmas card if i get a bfp before
i think thats a fab idea

xx

 

[SamiraNChris]

Maybe dont read it? All of us will have a BFP at some point, but I am sorry if I offend anyone or made anyone upset!!!!! I didnt mean to rub it in any ones faces! so accept my apologies to anyone else I have upset! and if i havent upset you then yayyyyyyyyyyy thank you for your help!!!

Im off now anyways to go to the old dears!!! If i manage to get a video il update you but il make a thread with a link to where i have put it then anyone it may upset / who doesnt want to see wont see it!!

Muchos Love xxxx

 

[flowerpower84]

Thanks, Samira. And it's impossible to "maybe not read it" when it comes up every time I refresh my page.

And no, all of us will *not* have BFPs. Every story is different.

Best of luck to you.

I have to say I totally agree with this.
Some poor woman got hell and all the other day for posting something about a bfp in ttc and she was slated so badly and the thread got closed, she was only doing what this thread is more or less doing. She was very upset.

I can sere you're so excited and it's an amazing feeling and you want to share with the world! I see that I've felt it
But some people really struggle ttc and just can't face the jolly excited threads.. that's why there is a place for every thread type.

Please don't take this the wrong way hun, I don't mean any offence I was just feeling so sorry for the lady the other day then seeing a similar thread again made me need to say something.

Massive huge congrats on your long awaited bfp.. I pray for a h&h 8ish months!

PS they're not too bad in first tri ya know

 

[Gemmamumof2]

aww - i find this all quite sad - Ive met many 'friends' here and i thought when i get my bfp it be great to share the news with friends first before heading to a new place with new people who dont know me and how i got to this point...

shes just found out and shes excited - i been trying for 3 years for another and NOTHING as made me sad - stories like this make me happy and if these two can concieve after there amazing journey then surely rest of us can?!?

please have respect for eachother and some things to a new pregnant lady are better un said let her have her happy time and to boast.. be our time soon and im sure we'll post it here on our bfp!!

I left another forum as they were disrespectful fact i have 2 children already now im not so sure this forum is where i want to be either...

Hi Gemma

I was in no way being disrespectful. In fact, I was articulating the rules of this site: "BFP ANNOUNCEMENTS: Share your good news with everyone! This forum is dedicated to announcing your pregnancy. Please restrict your BFP announcements to this section only."

I apologize if I came off this way. I come to this TTC forum for support from TTC ladies, not hear more BFPs. I feel like everyone in my life has a BFP except me. And I think that's what the rules (above) are for. I understand that every woman is different - some like hearing good news and others feel more ostracized. I'm the latter group, unfortunately. And I thought I was safe here.

This is why the other forum (BFP announcements) is for. And I think it's disrespectful to us, in the TTC group, to post these things. That said, if BFPs are posted here then maybe this isn't the forum for me either.

Again, sorry for the misunderstanding. It's just hard to see this thread line come up when I just got another BFN yesterday and have never been so down in my life.

 

[Gemie]

There is a place for every circumstance on baby and bump and all though the thread doesn't upset you or some other people you have to respect the fact that threads like this really do upset some women who feel very sensitive about ttc. x

 

[mrsessex]

Im very neutral on this subject and didn't realise you couldn't post in certain places, therefore it should be moved elsewhere more appropriate

Wonder if the mods could do it

Sorry it has upset so many people I'm ttc'ing with as many odds against me as Samira had...and so happy for her but DO understand how badly it can effect some people

*shouts* mods!
