Lol Vicky, I just saw your pics in fb! Hope it was a good one.xx

How is everyone? X

 

[jenny25]

Lol vicky glad you had fun xxx

Hey sassy how's things ? Xx

I'm doing fine I'm worried about the diabetic clinic in wed I don't know what too expect or how it will effect my pregnancy with my other problems xx

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Hey Jen, try not to worry too much until youve been seen on weds, thinking about it depth will just send you crazy!

Things are going well here, of course it's hard work but it's really not too bad! Zac's such a content little bubba and really is no trouble at all. X

 

[vickyd]

So there goes my theory (and hope) that when you have two babies one is high maintenence and the other content! Thanks for that Sass now ill never take the plundge haha!!!!!

We had a brilliant time, all the old gang together acting so not our age but fucking brilliant!

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Lol, looking back Poppy was bloody hard work,,she's always slept well but the reflux stuff was hard as you more than know!

Do you think a content baby is content from the beginning and a fussy one a fussy pot straight away? It's early days here so alot could change!x

Sounds like a lot of fun, can't help but act a kid when you get with your mates it's all part of the fun!x

 

[vickyd]

Well hero up until the day she started having the reflux and allergy was a very content baby...She slept for 4-5 hours and ate. It all went downhill after 1.5 months lol!

 

[prgirl_cesca]

Luca was an angel until week 4. Then the reflux, allergy and laryngomalacia hit. Although he's always slept well, thank god.

I am more agreeable to the idea of another baby of late. We had a condom fuck up the other week and I actually found myself really confused and a bit disappointed when AF arrived a week early this week. My cycles have been bang on 28 days since I had Luca and this month was like 22 days. Oddness.

 

[Allie84]

Hey everyone!

Aww, Sassy, they are both SO beautiful!

Happy 30 weeks, Hearty.

Jenny, so sorry about the GD...as you know, I had it as well, and it was easily managed, so please let me know if you need any support or advice or tips.

Vicky, that sounds like a fun time. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Lucy, awww, how sweet of Ben falling asleep on the rug!! I can't imagine Alistair ever doing that. He must have been soooo sleepy! I know it's hard to sleep when it's so hot.

Cesca, I know what you mean. It's confusing! We used the 'pull out' method and in the back of my mind it's kind of exciting to know there's a possiblity of pregnancy.

Hope everyone else is doing great.


AFM, we decided against the one bedroom; it was a combo of thinking about all of your input and the fact that Alex was worried about the lack of space as well. I probably would have just gone for it but I'm quite impulsive that way. The home hunt is still on. We're having a nice Memorial Day weekend....parents watched Alistair and Alex and I went and saw The Avengers yesterday. Today we had a picnic at a state park and tomorrow we're going with friends and their baby to the zoo.

 

[jenny25]

Thanks sassy I've kinda calmed down about it I will wait too see what happens on wed and take it from there xx

Allie thank you hun you know I don't eat a lot of sweets or have loads of cups of tea or coffee Infact it's one a day in the morning when I wake up I don't have sugar in cereal I eat loads of veg an fruit my only guilty pleasure is fizzy juice so I don't know how too change my diet I've put on 3 kg so far in the pregnancy but I can still wear my normal clothes so it's around my bump and butt I've gained weight oh and boobs lol xx in glad your holding out for a better place my opinion was based on cause aarron was older but I hope something comes up for you guys soon xxx

 

[Jaymes]

My scan is in 5 hours! I'm so excited and nervous I've been up since 2:30...
I'm still trying to stay yellow today!

 

[Round2]

Jenny, sorry to hear about the GD. I know you know it's not the end of the of the world, but it's still fustrating. After you've been through, it would be nice to have trouble free pregnancy. But at the same time, if you've got have an ailment during pregnancy, it's not a bad one to have.

Allie, glad you passed on the one bedroom. It may have been fun, but you probably would have regretted it. I'm spontaneous like that too and am now stuck living in a house with no closets and a noisy backyard!!

Vicky sounds like you had a great time this weekend. I'm glad you were able to blow off some steam. I can't wait to have a weekend like that soon!

Jaymes, good luck at the scan today. I have to admit, I'm secretly hoping you cave! I want to know what you got in there!!

Lucy, that's hilarious the Ben fell asleep on the rug. I always wanted one of the babies that slept everywhere. My friends kids use to fall asleep in their high chair eating!

Sassy, glad to hear things are going well with Zach. He sounds like a dream. I hope I get one of those.

AFM, sounds like I'm getting induce in 3 weeks. I'll get checked on the 18th, if my cervix is open at all (which it should be since I've already given birth), then I'll be induced that week. Scary stuff! I'm not sure if I'm more terrified now, knowing what to expect or the first time around not knowing!!

 

[Jaymes]

Oh my Round! I can't believe you've only got 2 weeks left!

This one seems to be flying by for me, and I've been crap about taking bump shots, and I feel like I haven't connected at all with this one. I'm hoping that this scan will help to ease some of my fears! I picked up a book the other day and started reading, the main characters name was Alexandria, then about 30 pages into it her love interest comes into it... His name is Jesse... So the entire book went on about Lexi and Jesse and their love. It was hard to read as that is what we named the babe we lost, who shares a due date with this babe I am growing. I know it's bizarre, but I keep coming across all kinds of weird coincidences like that and I never feel this one move so I get nervous all the time and I am a stress case and freaking out at my MIL all the time. My DH and kiddos get it too, and I am trying not to freak out all the time. I feel like all I do is complain, and I hate that! I have always tried to be a happy person, and now I feel like all I do is complain and throw tantrums!

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Good luck for your scan Jaymes, booooo to team yellow

 

[Round2]

Jaymes - I think that's pretty normal. My hubby and I barely talk about this baby. We haven't named him and we really barely speak about the fact I'm pregnant - it's a defense mechanism. I feel bad that I'm more afraid than excited, but again, I think it's normal. You're baby will he be here before you know it and you can put all your fears behind you.

 

[hoping:)]

Sassy- good job on both of you little ones! The are adorable!!!

Megg- I hope you had a great time with your parents

Jen- too bad about the GD but at least you will be monitored. Will you be seeing a nutritionist to go over your GD diet?

Lucy- Ben is certainly very close to 16 pounds! So cute that he fell asleep on the rug… I hope you got a picture!

Vicky- it sounds like you had quite the weekend! I hope the headache is gone by now.

Allie- it sounds like you had a fun weekend. How did you like the Avengers?

Jaymes- we won’t blame you if you give in and get a peak at the gender Those are some strange coincidences but I don't think you have anything to worry about. It is hard not to look for signs when PAL... it does your head in. I really hope this scan eases your fears and you can start to enjoy being pregnant with your last kiddo

Round- that was quick! I can’t believe in 3 weeks you will be holding your rainbow baby. That is fantastic!!!

AFM- We had a great weekend as well. Saturday I started therapy with the person who counseled me during my miscarriages. I really want help with my anxiety issues so I don’t pass them onto Penny. Sunday we spent the day at the Denver Aquarium with Tim’s family and had a lovely lunch at an organic restaurant called Root Down. They had bottomless mimosas, which is our all time favorite drink. Yesterday we threw a BBQ and spent the afternoon playing croquette with all of our friends.

 

[heart tree]

Good luck on your scan Jaymes! I hope it will help you connect more after you see the baby.

Rounders, you are so close! Whoa! You're going to meet your little guy really soon. I'm so excited for you. I think ignorance is bliss. I'm glad I don't have a sense of what to expect. Makes it less scary for me. I bet it must be pretty scary for you.

Vicky I LOVED the pics on FB. You are my kind of girl.

Cesca, sorry about AF. I think. Do you think you'll actively start trying again soon?

Allie, good call on the place. You'll find one that you love and that meets all your needs. Sounds like you had a great weekend.

Hoping, bottomless mimosas? YUM! Your weekend sounds perfect. Good for you for therapy. I imagine I'll need to work on some of my anxiety issues too. I had a dream last night that my old therapist told me she had pancreatic cancer. Weird.

Jen, I wonder what you'll have to do for the GD. Maybe it won't be much of an adjustment.

Lucy, Ben is so cute. Sounds like the heat has really gotten to a lot of you. Has it cooled down at all?

Where has Nato been? I miss her.

Sugar hope all is well.

I went to a BBQ yesterday. Lots of fun, especially since everyone gives me the most comfortable seats and brings me food! I'm milking it as much as I can! New bump shots posted on the front page of my journal if you want to have a peek.

 

[jenny25]

Wow round not long now Hun xxx

Good luck on the scan hun xxx

Well I won't know until tomorrow I have an appointment with the diabetic nurse too go over things but it's in a group so abit bummed cause I prefer 1 on 1 as some stuff like that can be personal but it's not the end of the world xx

 

[Sassy_TTC]

I miss NATO too!x

 

[jenny25]

Where has nato been hiding. Xx

 

[LucyJ]

Allie and round he has never done that before if it wasnt for the fact he was snoring his little head off I would of been worried. Round my nephew falls asleep in his tea Ben nearly did yesterday he was so tired but just closed his eyes while eating it was so funny watching him

Hoping I did get a pic sounds like you had a great weekend.

Round not long to go Im so excited for you.

Jaymes good luck at your scans.

Allie what did you think of the avengers? Sounds like you had a good weekend. Good luck with the house hunt.

Jen good luck with your appointment hope it goes alright and you get all the information you need.

Vicky loved your fb pics looks like you had a good time

Amanda its been cooler at night the last few days so hes been sleeping better apart from sunday night but that was down to teething.

I was wondering about nato as well hope she comes back soon.

Afm: had alovely weekend mil came over to see us sat spent the afternoon in the garden enjoying the sun sunday we went for a long walk stopped for a drink then we met my brother his fiance and her little boy in the afternoon at the beach. In the evening went out for food walked down to our local pub. Unfortunatley we didnt get ben down till 10pm he just wouldnt settle then he was up at half 1 till 4am back up at 6am he had high temp and wasnt not happy all day. He ended up sleeping for over 2 and half hrs not normal for him so we missed sing and sign class I also got a call from my hubby to say he was on his way to a&e he had an accident at work & hurt his foot he had to have an xray. Hes shattered a bone in his big toe, has ripped the toenail in half so has that secured on with butterfly stiches and it all banaged up hes on antibiotics for possible infection. He went to work this morning but had to come home at lunch as he was in so much pain and was bleeding a lot. We've been back to the hospital to have the toe redressed!! Just as we were saying at the weekend to his mum that its been 9months since he last went trying to convince him not to go to work tomorrow and just rest up he needs to keep his foot up.
