Good Luck Luce!! Lets hope you can put this behind you ASAP...

Amanda i like the sound of your plan! The house is amazing inside, so much space and light! You are right about the outside but im sure you'll be able to pretty it up easily. How big is the place? The price looks good to me, with that money you would get a small flat in Athens even with the whole crisis going on. Good job on Delilah sleeping so well!!! Hero slept that long the first time at 16 months!!!!

Amanda that house looks really nice inside, good luck. I know all about inflated housing prices as its very expensive here where we moved to. We found a cute house that's been updated inside but it's only 2 bedrooms so the babies will be sharing a room until we put an addition on in a few years!

Lucy good luck at your appt tomorrow.

Happy 1st birthday Eloise!

Happy Birthday Eloise!

Hearty, that place is adorable! I don't even mind the outside. So nice a bright, I love it. So happy you've decided to stay home with your little girl. I know you won't regret this decision. After all you've been through, you deserve to enjoy every minute of her life.

Good luck Lucy. I know everything is going to be fine.

Happy 1st Birthday Eloise

I can't believe how fast all the babies are growing!

Thanks Sass. I wasn't all that happy with them lol! I messed up the fondant on the bottoms because I creased it by mistake. And I don't have black gel paste, so I had to use brown. And I needed smaller bats lol!

I like that house a lot Hearty!

Luce, your appointment is tomorrow, and I am thinking of you.

So we are getting hit hard with snow since Friday. It is awful! I had to use 4x4 to get out of my driveway this morning, as well as the crescent, and the parking lot at the daycare! It's horrible, and yet it still keeps on coming down! Doesn't look like there is an end in sight anytime soon!

So I am counting down the days now too until testing day. I am kinda wondering this time, as I keep getting (.)(.) pains....last week I had cramps and I thought AF was going to show very early, but they seem to have gone away. Early testing day would be Thursday. I haven't decided if I am going to or not, as we are going away then until Saturday (depends on the weather now I guess)

Happy birthday Eloise! Wow! One already! Miss big pants.

Mel, how exciting! I love double pink lines. I hope you get some.

We're dealing with inspection reports and all things finance today. I'll keep you posted.

 

[hoping:)]

Mel- good look with potty training! I’m not looking forward to it and I don’t envy your snow fall. Stay warm and I am hoping you see pink lines

Vicky- I had to laugh at her going #2 on the floor! The joys of being a parent

Round- thanks for the advice on potty training. 4 months did seem to fly by. When I think of him I think newborn but he is far from it!

Amanda- Pooping on your cousin foot!!! It sounds like everything is going great for you. It is so awesome you have logged all of your hours and can stay home with Delilah. I love the inside of the house and it sounds perfect for your little family.

Sassy- Zach sounds delightful and reaching milestones with great speed.

Lucy- I will be thinking of you tomorrow

Happy Birthday Eloise!!!

AFM-

Penny Pumpkin Palooza is still in party planning mode and I am loving it

Have any you started planning for Christmas?I think I've decided what I want us to give Penny. She loved playing with her friend Marilyn's kitchen set so I would like to get her a really nice one made of wood. My friend offered to pick one up on Black Friday so we don't have to brave the crowds or get up at stupid o'clock! I am asking my aunt to make her an apron and maybe a chef's hat. Lastly, I really want to get her a Cabbage Patch Doll. This little girl goes bananas and almost hyper ventilated with excitement when we walk down the doll isle in the toy section. It is beyond adorable and makes me happy to see her so excited!

Penny and I had the best girl's day on Saturday. She loves riding in the shopping cart and looking around the stores so we had a day of shopping for her party. She loves when I race her down the isles and squeals with delight. We had snacks together and fed each other. We spent some time in my room playing on the bed. She thinks it is hilarious when I chase her around the bed and we kneel and then face plant on the soft surface over and over. She gets so giddy and almost seem like a drunk little baby because she is delirious with laughter. We both ended up uncontrollably giggling As we lay there catching our breaths she looked strait into my eyes and stroked my face with a soft smile playing on her sweet little face It was the most amazing thing and I will do anything for her to look at me like that for the rest of my life. I'm sitting here trying to hold back tears because I have no idea how I got so lucky. My little girl is absolutely INCREDIBLE!

 

[jenny25]

hey girls sorry for not being around ive been quiet ill since kieran has been born i ended up back in hospital but doing better , i just wanted too see if you all are ok i miss you guys xxxx

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Ahhh hoping I love your post! So bloody cute!x

 

[msarkozi]

awe, that made my heart melt! That sounds so wonderful Hoping!

For Kash, his big gift from us is a train table and some trains to go with it. Then I have some pj's, and an aquadoodle mat. I am not sure what else we are going to get him. A couple more small gifts and then a few stocking stuffers. My parents are getting him a chair and table set as well.

Thanks girls...I am hoping for double pink lines too. I think I might end up testing on Thursday after all. I hate not knowing!

We decided to cancel the trip on Thursday as well. The snow is still coming down pretty hard, and is supposed to for the rest of the week. It's just not worth it to risk driving the 600 kms. So we are trying to see if we can reschedule Gord's medical appt for when we are out in November.

 

[hoping:)]

Jen- I hope you are doing better.

Mel- Sounds like Kash is going to have a great Christmas

 

[LucyJ]

Thanks girls, Benjamins fast asleep he's been such a good little boy. When I put him to bed after tucking him up and giving him a kiss he rolled on his side looked at me and went bye bye so I said night night and he curled up and went to sleep so cute.

Mel I will be keeping everything crossed for you for testing. It always amaze me when I hear you talk about the snow here a little flutter would bring everything to a grinding holt. Sounds like a sensible decision to stay at home.

Awww hoping what a lovely update penny is so cute. I thought about Penny this weekend we gave Benjamin a little apple to see how he would cope and despite not having many teeth he munched his way through it and loved it. Im remember you saying how much Penny loves her apples. We have started thinking about christmas but not sure what to get Benjamin my mum and dad are buying him a little wooden train set which comes with a train, tractor and a barn with farm animals. We have bought him a toy fire engine where you push the fireman down and it whizzes across the floor we've also bought him a puzzle.

Amanda love the house its so bright and looks like a great family home.

Jen glad you are doing better.

Yogi how are you feeling?

 

[heart tree]

Amber that post just made me melt. What a beautiful moment with your girl. I'm so happy you have a daughter, especially after losing your mom.

Jen, I've seen your FB posts. I hope you are feeling better hun.

Mel, test on Thursday!!! I can't wait much longer than that! LOL!

Lucy, Ben sounds like a dream child. I love him! Maybe he and Delilah can get married! Just want to wish you good luck again tomorrow. Will be thinking of you.

We're going to Tim's parent's house for Christmas. It's about a 3 hour plane ride and will be Delilah's first. She's still so young that I doubt we'll get her much. Not to mention, all the gifts she'll get from her 5 grandparents will be plenty!

Well, it's official. I quit my job. I'm scared and sad and excited. I may have to do some part time babysitting or something to bring in some extra cash, but we definitely can afford it as long as Tim keeps his job. Crazy! I truly never thought I'd have to rely on someone else's income. I'm so independent. I'm used to always having my own money. It will be an adjustment, but then again, so is having a baby!

 

[Allie84]

Hearty, I'm so happy for you! It sounds like a great plan and I'm really impressed at all of the hours you've logged and can use towards your future job. Do you think you'll get more pleasure out of family therapy over geriatrics (sorry if that's the wrong term). I love the house, inside and out! It's SO bright and beautiful and I LOVE the extra building. So exciting, are you going forward with it? It looks so nicely done, I'm interested to hear what the inspection problems are?

Lucy, good luck tomorrow.

Mel, yikes with the snow. I saw your cakes on Facebook, beautiful as always. You should teach baking/cake decorating classes. You have a gift!

Happy 1st Birthday Eloise!

Hi, Jenny, thanks for popping in, what's going on?

Vicky, OMG at puke in your mouth! Definitely a mom moment right there.

Round, Bryce is getting so big! Is he past the colic stage now?

Sassy, same with Zac, I can't believe it! He's such a big boy. Time is flying by.

Hoping, what a beautiful update!

AFM, Alistair cut his third tooth (his first on top) but he's doing well with the teething. he is loving bath time at the moment and just squeals with glee every night as he splashes and plays with his toys. He's also enjoying chasing the dog and chasing his daddy around in circles. It's so funny! He's really cuddly with me which I love. Sometimes I wonder if he misses breasfeeding like I do and that's why he's super cuddly or if he's just a cuddly little guy? He snuggles right in and will even 'hug' me and make happy little contented sounds. So cute! He makes me want another one. Things with Alex are going much, much better and it's making me broody. I'm just not thin enough to get pregnant right now.

[Sassy_TTC]

Just popping in quickly.

Will be thinking of you today Lucy, hope all goes okay. Xxx

 

[LucyJ]

Lucy, Ben sounds like a dream child. I love him! Maybe he and Delilah can get married! Just want to wish you good luck again tomorrow. Will be thinking of you.

They should he would be very lucky thank you

Thanks Allie love the pic of Alistair he is such a sweetie. Aww well done Alistair on cutting another tooth Benjamin had just cut his 8th tooth. Thats great news that things are better with Alex really happy for you.

Thanks Sassy.

Im doing ok just want it over with Benjamin is proving a great distraction and steve will be home at half 12 we've got to leave enough time to park as theres limited car parking space.

 

[jenny25]

good luck today lucy hun xxx

allie i caught a staph infection and i have cellulitus from having the section at the hospital hun xxx

 

[hoping:)]

Lucy- Ben is so sweet. I’m glad he enjoyed his apple! I don’t know how they manage to eat them with only a few teeth. A train set sounds like a little boy’s dream. I have not bought any presents yet because if I do I will want to give them to her now and that would ruin Christmas. Good luck today! We are all thinking of you.

Amanda- I am very thankful to have Penny especially since my mom is gone. It’s the cute things like this when I miss her the most because usually I would be on the phone with her and we would be gushing over Penny. It has been almost 4 months since she passed… it still doesn’t feel real. I think Penny’s birthday and the upcoming holidays are going to make it feel more real… I’m not sure I’m ready.

We only got Penny a few items last year since she was so little. This year we are not going overboard either because like you said other family members will get her plenty and I don’t want my house over run by toys she will play with for a few days. The stuff we are getting her now should last her a few years.

Yay for quitting your job to stay home with your precious girl!

Allie- yay for another tooth! Penny still only has 2 but she is teething on and off. He sounds so sweet wanting to give hugs and cuddle his mommy. I’m the opposite and when Penny is extra sweet with me I think even more that I could never have another. I will just live vicariously though your next BFP, pregnancy and baby! Do you have a time frame? Its so exciting Alistair will eventually be a big brother. I love that picture!

 

[yogi77]

Lucy I've been feeling pretty good thank you, just tired most of the time! Good luck at your appt today.

I have a doc appt today, hope to hear the heartbeat on the Doppler!

 

[LucyJ]

Im back in a lot of pain and feel tierd but glad its all over. The cells were pre-cancerous but no sign of any cancerous cells which is such a relief. They did the treatment there and then to remove them it wasnt pleasant but glad to have it all done. I had a local anaesthetic wow that hurt thank goodness for the lovely nurse who let me squeese her hand, the anaesthetic had adrenaline in it as well so made my legs shake and my heart race they used what I can only describe as a soldering iron to remove the cells. The dr doing it was so lovely very sweet to me he said there was no evidence of cancerous cells and was confident he got all the abnormal cells which will be sent off to be looked at should get the results through in 3-4 weeks they'll also say how often I have to have smears I'll definitely be on yearly ones for a while.

Thanks for all your support

Yogi good luck with your appointment today hope you get to hear your lo heartbeat.

Hoping I know it will be hard for you but I am sure your mum will be with you all keeping an eye on things for Pennys birthday.
