No bed for me Nato. I'm up for good. Luckily I'm working from home today and can take a nap.

I've never been so happy in all my life. She is a real little person. And they kept telling me yesterday how perfect she was.

Jenny, I remember what a wreck I was for the NT scan. I know exactly what you mean. I really couldn't sigh any relief until I had that scan done. You just need to get through a few more days and then hopefully you can relax a bit.

 

[NatoPMT]

haha you are like superwoman, no sleep, no regard for gynecological conditions, 2nd baby on a promise...when will it ever end?

can we discuss names yet? i wanna talk about names. stop holding name cards to your chest. she needs a name you know.

Jen, the NT was nerve wracking for me espec as i had such a high risk, but theres no reason to think that this little baby will be anything other than perfectly healthy. Its a horrible scan too, i think mine took about an hour and the scan man had a totally deadpan face all the way through. Maybe you could tell them youre very nervous or that you had a bad experience before beforehand? The only one who noticed i was nervous was the nurse who took my blood pressure, as it was through the roof.

Dazy just had a quick peek at your journal as i saw your CD was 35. Eyes crossed

she is!! shes absolutely perfect. shes a real little scrapper this one. Maybe you should call her a name that means warrior. Which actually, i have just remembered, Eloise means warrior (and shes a right wimp)

oo shes just woken up

 

[heart tree]

Caught up now.

Nato, I’m so sorry to hear about your friend. I imagine it must bring up a lot of old wounds though. I think our losses define us in ways that we never truly get rid of, even after having children. You and Lucy hit it on the head. I feel the same way. It has put me on a different path in life. I’m not sure anything positive came out of it for me. But I know it proved to me how resilient I am, how persistent I am and how much I really want a child. My losses gave me insight that I didn’t have before.

I’m also sorry to hear about your BIL’s father. In some ways it sounds like divine intervention. Maybe it was the only way he could get his son home safe and in one piece.

I can’t wait to see the jewel colored nursery! I love that you are still working on it!

Jaymie, happy 6 weeks! I think you have a scan today. Good luck!!

Ha ha at seeing a Video of Ben rejecting food! I want to see that too!

Vicky, good god woman, you’ve been through the ringer! I agree, lack of sleep and stress are at the root of this. I remember the friend of yours who died. He was super young. I don’t blame you for wanting Hero to have a room. It’s time. I hope she gives you the ok tonight. I like Nato’s idea of taking pictures. Is the built in something that could be salvaged and she could put in her own home? Good luck!

Allie, have an amazing trip! Nato might hunt you down though. Watch out!

Wow Nato, my NT scan was exactly the opposite. It was so lovely. They were so kind and I could tell immediately that things were fine. I hope Jen’s is that way too.

Tim and I haven’t even discussed one name yet. And honestly I’ve never had a secret list. We keep joking that we’ll call her some ethnic name that has nothing to do with our ethnicity. Like a tribal African name. But in truth, we have no clue yet. Maybe we should name her something that equates to wimp so she’ll be more of a warrior. It’s good to give babies complexes early on, don’t you think?

 

[jenny25]

Thanks girls you all keep me grounded and I love it xx

 

[heart tree]

Sweetie, that's what we're all here for. I would have lost my sanity a long time ago if it weren't for my girls here.

You will get through this scan. I can't tell you the outcome, but I know you'll be ok. I can tell you I have a lot of good feelings for this little one though and I don't always feel like that.

 

[jenny25]

Thanks Amanda likewise I feel so different this time around like I'm doing more baby planning buying etc which I have never done before so it must be a good thing xxx

 

[Sparkly]

Wonderful news hearty, a little baby girl I had such a strong pink vibe for you x

 

[Sparkly]

Girls I hate to bring the thread down on such a happy day

I have had a second scan this morning and it confirmed that I've had another missed miscarriage, no growth from the baby since last weeks scan and no heartbeat

I've opted for medical management and took my first tablet 3 hours ago....nothing happening as of yet....

 

[heart tree]

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry to read this news. Don't apologize for telling us your news. This is just as important to share. You knew this was going to be the outcome, but it still hurts. I hope you are able to get through the next few days without much pain.

 

[hoping:)]

Hearty- Amazing news!!!!!!!! Welcome to team Pink. She looks absolutely perfect! I am so happy for you and Tim and I am glad he is starting to come around about #2. You deserve this LO… she is so luck to have you for a mom

Lucy- I agree, going through losses does change you. Mostly for me it was for the better but it also did make me more of a worrier at times. Going through the 4 losses has made me not take what I have for granted and I don’t freak out about the small things anymore. I think I am more patient and gained a lot of insight about myself… I like the person I am today.

Good luck moving Ben to his own room.

Allie- have an awesome vacation!!!

Jenny- happy 12 weeks!!!

Sparkly I am so sorry you have to go through this again We are all here for you

Vicky- you need a vacation after all you have been through! I hope the talk about Hero’s nursery goes well.

AFM- I added some recent pictures of Penny in my parenting journal

 

[heart tree]

Hoping, her cheeks are TO DIE FOR! I had huge cheeks as a baby. They are the best! So kissable!!!

 

[LucyJ]

Amanda I love that you are talking about numer 2. Thats how my mum ended up with 4 children they had my eldest brother but mum really wanted a little girl so they tried again and had another boy so decided to have another baby and got me then she thought having 2 girls would be lovely so they tried again but got another boy mum & dad stopped after that

Yay at thinking of names and shopping for your little girl She is perfect

Nato I will try and get some video of him tonight, did you see the video I posted on fb of him rolling.

Jen happy 12 weeks hope monday comes round quickly for you.

Vicky I hope the talk goes well and you get the go ahead to change the room. Hope you are feeling better.

Sparkly massive Im so sorry you are going through this.

Afm: Im of to the dr's in a bit still getting lots of cramping and havent felt quite right steves concerned as Ive also lost weight dedpite eating so I promised Id go to the drs. Its probably nothing but best to get checked out its irritaring that Im getting lots of pains ranging from dull aches to being doubled up but no evidence of AF.

 

[heart tree]

Lucy, any chance you are pregnant?

 

[LucyJ]

No that did cross my mind a few weeks ago as I was getting terrible nausea so did a test and it was negative. Its really odd I can cope with the pain but wish I knew what was going on.

 

[Dazed]

Gaynor massive I was secretly praying they were wrong.

Dear Gaynor's body, PLEASE give that woman a break!

 

[vickyd]

Sparkly im so sorry that you are going through this again.....It breaks my heart so much, I have no words only tears....We are here for you always....

Lucy hope you get some answers hun!

Im feeling better today, my fever is gone completely and i managed to do a few chores as well. So nervous about talking about the nursey, you would think it was a matter of life or death for fucks sake...

Hearty, remember when i had those really vivd dreams of you having a girl? In my dreams we also talked about names and i suggested to you the name Artemis. Its a greek goddess who was like a protector of unborn children and apparently helped her mother deliver her twin brother as soon as she was born. She was considered a midwife and a huntress but also a protector of wildlife especially bears.

 

[heart tree]

Well said Dazed.

Lucy I hope you get some answers. What a strange thing to be happening.

 

[Jaymes]

My viability scan is in about an hour and a half. Strangely i am feeling very positive about it. I woke up not too nervous (and Lexi slept till 5:30!!!) Then when I was taking her too school three things happened. I was sitting at the stop light and a complete stranger smiled and waved to me. So I smiled and waved back. Then I sneezed and the guy in the car next to mine smiled and mouthed "bless you," so I smiled and said "thank you." Then when I was going past another school a small boy (about 2 or 3) stood there like I was a parade (in my minivan) smiling and waving at me! Seems like a lot of positive energy directed at me!

Hearty!!!! A GIRL!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​

Sparkly, as I said before and that everything goes well.

Thank you everyone for all your well wishes and positive thoughts and prayers.

Nato -
This one totally got me! LOL!
