Hellooo

Hope you all had lovely a Christmas and have a fab New Year

I had my first scan today, revealing TWINS......with heartbeats

I'm amazed and excited, but taking it one day at a time

Hey Ladies,

Nato, look at you!! A flashy new ticker and everything. Deep breaths my dear. Your body has done this before and it will do it again. There's always a million reasons to worry, just try to sit back and trust your body (I know, easier said than done).

Hearty, I'm sorry to hear about your friend's daughter. What a terrible thing to go through. I can't even let my mind go there - I'm not sure how parents survive something like this. I hope the rest of your holiday improves and you get some relax time.

Vicky, I know how hard it is not to worry about every little thing. I drive my self crazy with paranoia sometimes too. My neice has a very rare genetic condition (only one other child in the world with the same condition) that has left her completely physically and mentallly handicapped. Ever since then I find my self searching for signs that there's something wrong with my kids.

AFM, Christmas was crazy! We had 27 people for dinner, I had only 1.5 hours of sleep on Christmas eve. The day went by in a blur, I felt like I was hallucinating on some crazy drugs. The kids had a blast though, so it was all worth it.

Bryce cut his first tooth this week, hence the lack of sleep. The last few nights have been a bit better now that the tooth is through.

Just wanted to wish you all a happy and healthy New Year. What's everyone up to tonight? We going out for dinner and then to a kids NYE party put on by the city. Should hopefully be in bed by 10pm at the latest!!

Sparkly - just saw your post!! YAYAYYYYYYYY!!!!!

 

[heart tree]

Twins!!! Wow!!! Congrats Gaynor. They'll either keep you young or make you old very quickly

I thought I'd have time to post while in Florida, but the days go by so quickly. Am reading as much as I can. When will I ever be able to be on B&B like I used to? When Delilah turns 18?

I'm sorry I posted about the neuroblastoma. I considered not posting it, but it shook me so hard, I needed to tell someone. I worry constantly about Delilah getting it. But it is very rare. Vicky I'm sure Hero is ok, but worth getting checked out for peace of mind.

Nato, will you do CVS again? I was terrified for Down's too. Try to enjoy the pregnancy as much as your stomach will allow. I know it's so hard though.

Happy New Year everyone! For some of us 2012 was wonderful. For others it wasn't. I hope 2013 treats each and every one of us kindly. xo

 

[hoping:)]

I'm loving all of the pregnancy tickers in here

Vicky- I really think Hero is just fine and still recovering from being sick but to put your mind at ease I would speak to her doctor about your concerns. It doesn’t hurt to ask and who cares if he thinks you are crazy. As mothers I think it is mandatory to be a little crazy and neurotic about our little ones. Penny poops about twice a day. She also has a little pot belly.

Lucy- that little Ben of yours is just too cute. I’m sure he could charm anyone with that smile of his. I’m loving all of his new words! Penny is slowly adding to her vocabulary and of course has to say “hi” to everyone she sees. Sometimes she will stare people down and say “hi” until they smile or say “hi” back.

Allie- Too bad you couldn’t convince Alex to take a vacation and even worse that car needs repairs.

Nato- I am in the process of becoming a gestation surrogate. The lab work is the last piece of my screening and then it is on to matching me with intended parents! I love your ticker. When is your first appointment/ultrasound? Does Eloise suspect somethings up?

Mel- I agree, this Christmas was way more fun. Penny also tried opening presents that weren’t her own. We would catch her shaking presents too. Your night in sound very relaxing. We are going to our annual family New Year’s eve party that a friend of the family hosts every year. There will be tasty beverages, food and games. After that I’m up for a movie night as well… I think Penny got me sick!

Well done for reaching the 2nd trimester! That was fast!

VGibs- Congrats on hopping on the TTC train.

Sparkly- I posted in your journal but I’m just so amazed and happy for you!!! They will be the 1st set of Disco twins!

Round- I’m glad you survived Christmas! I hope you get more sleep since the tooth has finally come through. Have fun at the kid’s NYE party!

AFM- Penny got her ears pierced this weekend. She was such a trooper even after they messed up one side and had to redo it… I guess strawberry ice cream helps. She also spent some time shopping with me and making me chase her through clothes racks while she played peek-a-boo. I’m not sure how she went from only two steps to practically running over night! Now all she wants to do is walk.

 

[msarkozi]

that is AMAZING Sparkly!!! so happy for you

It certainly is a good feeling seeing all the pregnancy tickers in here again. I wish everyone happy and healthy pregnancies

Penny sounds so adorable! It's amazing how quickly they learn to move once they get going. I was asking Kash the other day if he could just go back to crawling again, as he is growing up way too fast!

The weather is beautiful here today, so I took Kash for a nice walk around Town. There is a loop I always do...probably about 3-4 km long. It's quite the workout pulling 30lbs in a sleigh lol.

Happy New Year's ladies

 

[NatoPMT]

Mel: Thanks for the good wishes! Glad youre feeling well, I bet Kash was adorable - such a handsome boy.

Sparkly - omfg!!! and heartbeats at 5+5 is amazing! sorry, again im out of the loop, did you have treatment?

Rounders..27 people??? i don't think i even know 27 people. Does feel a bit easier so far but i have food poisoning now and feel i will win the being in bed early comp on NYE

Hearty -

sorry gotta go weezie awake x

 

[Allie84]

Hi everyone!! Happy Hogmanay!!!

I finally convinced Alex to go somewhere...we're having some marital troubles (details in my journal) and I really think we need a few days to unwind and connect. We're taking an Amtrak train to a waterpark resort at Wisconsin Dells. I'm pretty excited as it's a bucket list item of mine to take a train the USA. And we splurged on a fancy condo at the resort...lakeside with two bedrooms, two fireplaces (including one on the all seasons deck with a jacuzzi). We're only going for two nights but I think it's much needed. We leave on Wednesay at 2 am! I hope Alistair enjoys the waterpark. He loved swimming this summer so I imagine he will. Alex and I will have to take turns doing the 'scary' slides but that's okay.

Anyways,

Sparkly, I posted in your journal but once again, I'm so happy and excited for you!! :hugs

Mel, you pull Kash in a sled? I love it!! We're having a quiet NYE as well. We're making a nacho bar and watching Andersoon Cooper and Kathy Griffin like we do every year. How exciting haha.

Hearty, it sounds like you're having in FL which is great! Are you getting lots of help with Delilah?

Nato, I love the abrupt cut off to go get Eloise. I feel like a bad mom now because when Alistair wakes up I leave him for a bit to see if he'll go back to sleep! Unless he's really upset, of course.

Amber, Alistair also loves saying 'hi' and says it to strangers. I always feel bad for him when they ignore him and don't say it back haha!!

Round, OMG 27 people?!?! One 1.5 hours of sleep?!?! Please tell me you're going to have a relaxing New Year's at least.

 

[LucyJ]

Nato the good sleeping didnt continue he woke up sat night early hrs and endd up in with us but I think he was a bit disorintated as it was our first night home. Then last night he woke himself up at about quater past 4 coughing poor thing he seems fine today and went down with no trouble so fingers crossed he'll sleep through. Sorry about the food posioning hope you get a good nights sleep and feel better.

Thanks amber. I love that penny stares people down till she gets a hi so cute.

Amanda Hope you are having an amazing time in florida how long are you away for.

Mel thats sounds lovely the weather has been horrid here today its done nothing but rain boo.

Round 27 people on hardly any sleep wow how did you cope. Hope you get some sleep.

Allie I read your journal but havent had a chance to respond yet I think the advice the other girls gave you was good and thats great you and Alex are getting away sounds lovely sure Alistair will love it.

Sparkly congratulations so happy for you disco twins

Afm: I got a bfn today tested early as Ive been having spotting and cramping the last 2 days and no sign of af (which is due wed) its odd for me so wondered whether it was a sign when I was pregnant I had cramping and bleeding 5 days before I was due for 3 days and then spotting till 11 weeks. Im not surprised. Bring on jan.

 

[hoping:)]

Mel- Kashmir sure is giving you a work out!

Allie- jealous.com! Your two day get a way sounds perfect! I hope this trip helps you two reconnect. Have fun and take lots of pictures!!!

Lucy- I will keep my fingers crossed.

Happy New Year everyone!!! Lots of love to you and your families

 

[LucyJ]

Happy New Year Everyone wishing you all a happy and healthy 2013

We saw the new year in at home just us which was lovely just kissed my sleeping baby (cant believe hes still asleep with all the loud fireworks that have been going of since 9pm) and now off to bed. Night lovely ladies.

 

[msarkozi]

lol he certainly is! I pulled him on his little sleigh, which he is starting to get too big for already...we just got it last christmas!!

sorry about the bfn Luce 2013 is going to bring many good things though

sorry to hear of your troubles Allie, but the getaway sounds very nice! I bet it will a good little trip for you guys.

It's almost bedtime for Kash, and then we are going to watch some more SOA....real exciting lol! I am doubting I will even be awake at midnight to ring in the New Year (I am so lame lol)

 

[Sassy_TTC]

Happy new year girls, I hope 2013 brings many more disco babies.xx

 

[NatoPMT]

Im so ill, i am on day 3 of food poisoning and i have lost 5 pounds in 24 hours, i was up all night but today my sore boobs arent sore anymore and am convinced that the infection has killed the baby. Considering i have food poisoning, i dont even feel that nauseous either. I can't eat and am all dizzy and weak, I cant even face calling NHS Direct.

feeling very emotional and pathetic.

Hoping, i read your letter on your journal to catch up and there was a few things in it that got me emotional about your feelings about Penny. You'll be an amazing surrogate.

Hearty, if i get that far, i will wait until my combined test before i decide about a cvs. Im expecting to need one but might try and get the new bloody test privately.

cant type any more, feeling so awful

 

[Round2]

Nato, I'm sure your little bean is fine. You should get checked out to make sure you're not dehydrated, but I'm certain your little baby is holding on strong. You're not even 5 weeks, your symptoms should be coming and going. My symptoms were the least strong with Bryce than any of my other pregnancies.

Happy New Year Girls! I hope this is the best Disco year yet.

 

[Sassy_TTC]

NATO you need to get to hospital chick, being that dehydrated is not good for you or baby! They'll prob want to get some iv fluids into you. Wish you better real soon.xx

 

[VGibs]

Nato - get your butt to a hospital. Food poisoning is bad enough without being pregnant and dehydrated added to the mix. Isn't the princess kicking about hospitals these days? Think of it as a "royal mission" to find her!

 

[Allie84]

Awww Nato, I agree with the others to get checked out if you're feeling so awfu, you poor thing!!! I wouldn't worry about your bean...since you're so early on, doesn't the baby not rely on your body at this point as there's no placenta? My memory is kind of foggy but I seem to recall the baby acts pretty independently at first, which is why if you've drank alcohol or taking a prescription drug or something like that it won't have even affected the baby. I feel that would logically translate into the bean being separate from any infection you have at the moment? I don't know if I'm making any sense.

Happy New Year, everyone!

 

[LucyJ]

Nato I agree with the other girls I am sure your little one is alright but you need to get checked out as you could be dehydrated.

 

[vickyd]

Happy New Year Ladies!!!!

Hearty dont feel bad about posting on the neuroblastoma. I should be able to read about a disease without automatically thinking Hero has it. This hypocondria (sp?) of mine is nothing new, when im really stressed or tired my mind always wanders to really dark places where i usually diagnose myself with some rare disease, and now im projecting this on to Hero. I sat over the weekend and really observed her, and realised i am overreacting. Im gonna give her another week before taking her to the doctor as i dont want to enable myself to be paranoid and to act on every fear. I will end up driving her crazy!

Nato honey, when i was about 6 weeks preggo with Hero i had a nasty chemical exposure in the lab. I was convinced that was it...After speaking to doc he said pretty much what Allie said. I would go to the hospital though for the dehydration, although you can also get over the counter electolytes cant you?

So we decided to ttc in a couple of months. Alex said that time is passing and we cant afford to wait anymore considering our history. He also thinks it will be good for me to not be so obsessed with Hero and her health. I cant say im looking forward to to it but who knows...maybe this time around everything will be easy haha!!!! Yeah right!
