Disco Derail! - TTCAL/PAL Discussion and Support!

[Sassy_TTC]

Thanks girls, I feel sooo different this time it's weird! Anyone that worries you couldn't love your 2nd the same as your first, you totally do, it's amazing. I feel so lucky.

Poppy's taken to him ok, not really too interested, keeps checking he's still here though but she's given him a few kisses and tried to her her dummy in his mouth. If Zac cries though then she sobs, it's horrible.x

Jaymes, did you manage to stay team yellow?xx

 

[heart tree]

Congrats Sassers! I'm so thrilled for you. Your family is complete! What a difference a few years makes.

Sugar how is Henry?

Jaymie, team yellow? I know you had a sneak peek with Lexi. Also what cloth diapers do you use? I really want to do cloth and there are soooo many options. Sorry you are feeling like crap.

Vicky I loved the video of Hero kicking the ball. That girl has some skill! Any new apartment leads?

Jen said on the PAL thread that she left her husband. She's also facing her critical week. Just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to send her some love.

Saw my doctor yesterday. She still wants me working from home. I have another cervix scan in 2 weeks and 6 days. I can't wait. I'm feeling pretty good and am finally starting to have a little faith that this baby is planning to stay inside me for the long haul. If we make it to 36 weeks, then I'll have a scan weekly because of my age! No complaints here. Finally my age is working to my advantage.

 

[Jaymes]

My scan isn't until next Tuesday... Sigh! I am going to try to stay team yellow, but I may cave and find out. I'm pretty positive it's a girl.

I use Sunbaby diapers. I love them! The only draw back is they are made in China. I tried to love some of the ones made in the US, but never found a brand that was cost effective enough for me to buy as many as I want, plus they have such cute ones! I have a thing for hello kitty, and I've bought a few super cute HK prints.

I hate feeling green all the time! If I actually got sick at all it might be better than just feeling like I need to all the time. I've never had MS past 1st tri before...

 

[hoping:)]

Sassy- it is so wonderful you are adjusting to Zac perfectly I am one those who worry about loving a second child so it is good to hear.

Jaymes I hope your MS goes away really soon. It definitely does not help with your mood and I'm sure extra boddies in your home are not helping either.

Jenny- HUGE I am so sorry hun and hope you are ok. We are here if you need us

AFM- i bit the bullet and had the non-hormonal IUD inserted!

 

[LucyJ]

Jaymes sorry your feeling rubbish my ms made a reappearncd in the 3rd tri for a short periodmof time like you I was never sick just felt like I was going to be doesnt anything help, I found anything citrus would help I drank a lot of traditional lemonade and ate ice lollies. Hope it goes away for you soon.

Jem I am so sorry hear if you need to chat

Sounds like things are going great Sassy awww it makes me want to have another one Asked my mum about how she felt and she said your heart just grows bigger.

Amanda thats good about still working from home and getting more scans I'm so exicted for you

Afm: my baby boy has cut his 2nd tooth so glad its finally through as he has been so unhappy poor baby. He has also worked out how to move around the furniture he gets more confident everyday. We've had another bump today poor little boy has a purple bruise on the side of his head.

 

[Sugarlove2]

Hi girls, Sassy sounds like you're coping great with your new arrival.

Lucy sorry to hear about Ben cutting teeth. Poor little lamb!

Jaymes I had MS on and off throughout my whole pregnancy, but at leats I actually yacked up and got relief. I also felt quite aggressive, reckon it's just crazy hormones!

Hearty, yay for working from home. You have your forever little girl in there for sure!

Jen sorry to hear your news

AFM Henry got his results back and he has been given the all clear. Cancer hasn't spread. We are so relieved and gave him a huge bit of steak last night to celebrate. Just need to keep a close eye for any lumps, but the Vet is confident that he removed it all.

Charlotte had her last set of jabs today. She screamed the place down and bled loads. Felt so sorry for the poor little thing. Pleased they are all over with for the time being.

 

[vickyd]

Sass great to hear that you are all doing so great with the new arrival! Poppy is so damn cute! Hero tries to give Popi her dummy all the time its so funny!

Hearty so happy that you are feeling so positive and woohoo on the weekly scans!! Im not one to brag but Hero defo has alot of ball skills lol! She is the Messi of the park for sure, actually managing to control the ball for a good half hour at a time. Alex says we should move to the states where women's soccer is a highly paid sport haha!!
On the apartment front we were very close to getting a place last week which had the most amazing veranda/terrace of 180 m2! In the end we were outbidded by 100 euros...We decided to stop the serious hunt till after summer. Hopefully by then we will ahve a government and the real estate market will pick up for Alex and he will be able to bring some money home. If this happens we will be able to afford moving to this area. If not we will look for a plave for a few years in our area until things pick up.

Jen hun we are here for you always...

 

[hoping:)]

Lucy- I’m excited for you to have another one too! That little Ben of yours is just adorable so I’m sure the next one will be just as cute! Congrats to Ben on cutting his 2nd tooth!

Sugar- that is such good news!!! I’m glad he got the all clear and was treated to a piece of steak. Poor Charlotte. It is so sad to see them like that… I usually make Tim take Penny to get her shots

Vicky- You should take a video of Hero and her ball skills! I would love to see it Too bad about being out bidded. Buying a house is always a time consuming process. I hope you plan for after summer works out!

 

[Jaymes]

Did I see a video of Hero's skills on FB? So cute! You should post it here too!

Amanda, you are beautiful!

Sassy, again congrats and we'd all love to see your munchkins together...

Kids had their last day of school today and we are now all waiting (some not very patiently) for her to wake up from nap so we can go grab a celebratory lunch! I am so NOT in the mood for mcdonald's! But so far that is all that's on the table... Blech! Oh & I'm a sweet potato!

 

[heart tree]

Thanks for the recommendations Jaymie! I'll check those out. It's true, they are so expensive. Happy 18 weeks! Not long until your next scan. Keep us posted. I hope you take a peek again! LOL! Feel better.

Sugar that's awesome news about Henry! You must feel so relieved. Sorry Charlotte had to have her jabs, but she'll be nice and protected now. Poor little girl.

Lucy, babies are so resilient aren't they? All those bumps and bruises and he won't even remember them when he's older. Glad his tooth broke through!

Amber, did the IUD hurt? I've heard they aren't comfortable to get.

Vicky, she truly is a super star. I was really impressed watching her keep close to the ball. Definitely move to the US and make her a big star! It sounds like a good idea to wait on finding a place. Your country is so up in the air right now. I hope it stabilizes soon. Not that the US is doing much better, but I still think you should move here. For my own selfish reasons of course!

Not much to report. My husband decided to work from home today. AND he's working from home on Friday. I love him, but I also like having some time away from him during the days. All he wants to do is kiss and grope me! I guess it could be worse.

 

[Allie84]

Hi everyone! I haven't read back yet, I'm about to go eat and watch the American Idol finale....but I have a question and I wanted to get some opinions.

We are looking to move (AGAIN!) July 1st when our lease is up. We need to downgrade as we are struggling to afford this place without me working as much. Anyways, I have found some two bedrooms within our price range that have amenities we are used to, including washer/dryer, double garge....and then I found an apartment downtown in a super old building with tons of character, hard wood floors...it feels like city living. I fell immediately in love with it. However, it's only a one bedroom. A 1000 square feet one bedroom, but still a one bedroom. How would you feel about living in a one bedroom as a family of three? My friend mentioned partioning the bedroom off (it's huge). Right now I don't mind Alistair in our room at all anyways, but I'm wondering when that will change? Just not sure what to do!

 

[heart tree]

I don't have a baby yet, but personally I'd want another bedroom. If you can partition and make another bedroom, that's an option. But personally, I like my own space.

What happens when he's a little older? I can't imagine sharing a room then. It wouldn't do much for your marriage.

 

[Jaymes]

I have first hand knowledge of a 1 bedroom with a baby... We had to get a small interim apartment in NY when my oldest was a baby. It was an adventure and I am so happy we only had to do it 6 months. It was really just too small for us.

 

[Megg33k]

I only just read what was posted about Jen... OMG!

 

[Allie84]

Thanks girls. Was your apartment small, Jaymes? This one is pretty large, but I do see your and Hearty's point. Hmmmm. I just love it so much. But my sex life is really, REALLY crappy at the moment and I'm thinking it will remain crappy as long as Alistair shares our room.

And we'll probably move in the next few years anyways. We've lived in 3 places and the past 3 years. I'm like Sassy lol. But I just love moving house...I'm such a novelty seeker, addicted to new experiences and the like. It's a way I can have an adventure while staying put, in a way.

What happened with Jen, Megg?!?

 

[Allie84]

Did any of you watch the American Idol finale? OMG, I have been sooooo in love with Philip Phillips all season and voted for him every week. I'm so pleased that he won...he actually does the styel of music I listen to and will actually purchase. Dave Matthews Band is my favorite band and he's pretty much a hot Dave. If you have no idea who I'm talking about (although I know ITV2 shows Americal Idol) go to YouTube and drool.....

Anyhoo,

Sugar, I'm so glad Henry has the all clear!! I've been thinking about him. How sweet he got a well deserved steak.

Lucy, so Ben can move furniture and climb stairs? My goodness, I'm scared for this phase! Glad his second tooth came through finally.

Hoping, ouch...did the IUD hurt? Glad you got some BC you're happy with. Is hubby still going to get the snip once his Whole Foods healthcare comes into play, or are you going to stick with the IUD. Are you going to Territory Days this weekend? I miss it!

Hearty, you poor thing being groped. Glad you're still getting to work from home and all went well with docs. Enjoy those weekly scans! I got them towards the end as well and it really, really helped me feel less worried. I was getting BPPs due to gestational hypertension and gestastional diabetes.

Vicky, must go watch this video! Sorry you lost the flat. I hope the search is more fruitful after summer.

Jaymes, sorry your'e still getting MS. Happy sweet potato day!!!!!

Megg, it's nice to see you posting! How are you?

Sassy, I've posted in your journal but once again, congrats! So happy for you girlie.

 

[heart tree]

I only just read what was posted about Jen... OMG!

Did I miss something??? Oh no! What was posted?

 

[jenny25]

Megg we are ok, I forgot too update here that we are going too try an work thigs out ta just going to take time for things too be back too normal I do apologise sweet xxx

Ali i would say no no for sharing me Paul and aarron shared a room for three years until we got our flat and our relationship took a massive whack there was no privacy space for us if the room is big enough too put a partition in then I'd say yes but I've it was all three and no cut I'd advise against it Hun

I had my scan midwife and gtt yesterday kieran weighs 1lb7 and doing great I've been discharged from fetal med and now classed as a normal pregnancy there is no more scans booked for the moment unless my midwife thinks I need one or of it comes back I have gestational diabetes I don't even have anymore consultant appointments so I take it jm under midwife care only now

I just thought if update you guys xxx

 

[heart tree]

Oh, whew. I guess Megg was talking about what I posted! I thought someone was saying nasty things about you on B&B Jen! I was ready to kick some ass!!

Glad you are ok and as you already know, I'm thrilled about your scan!

Allie I don't watch American Idol. Sorry.

 

[jenny25]
