MrsP, very happy for you!

Yay MrsP. Awesome news!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks ladies x

Rosa I cannot believe that you are going to have a baby in your arms in five weeks or less! WOOWOWOWOWOOWWW!! I can still remember the bun in the oven photo!
MrsPTTC - what a sweet relief! There is a little nugget of gold in there! No excavating until next year some time, tho!
Aisak - that bites. Try not to worry about it until you've done about three or four and they're busts. I was lucky the first time, and then #2, 3 and 4 - NADA. Such a frigging delicate, intricate, complicated process! If only it were a matter of putting up there!

AFM, post-op infection. Getting over it. Just another part of this joyful process. In about three weeks I'll hopefully know what stopped the development of this baby (apparently it takes a long time to karyotype).

The weekend is soon here! YEAHHHH!!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Soleil thank you . You sound like you're doing better Hun, hope they get the results back soon so you can start a plan of action! I love your siggie its very sweet. Have a lovely weekend x

 

[rosababy]

SB, thanks hun. It's so nice to hear you positive and I love your new siggy too! Sorry about the infection...is it painful? Will you do another round of ivf soon?

 

[Crumbs]

Aisak, sorry to hear about the IUI. Fx for your next one!

MrsPTTC, Yay!!!

Soleil Breeze, I'm happy to see you back on here. Have I told you how strong I think you are?

As for my uterine infection, according to my blood tests, it's passed. I insisted on a follow-up appointment and got another internal exam and it looks fine (though that's what they said last time before my blood tests came in). My uterus is still not shrinking but oh well. I'm just happy I no longer have an infection. I was a mess!

Thinking of you gals and crossing my fingers for you Rosa! I hope you have a smooth delivery!

 

[mrsmax]

MrsP - that is wonderful news.

SB - you are my hero.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Crumbs you're still pregnant according to your family status Pleased your infection has gone .

Mrsmax, we still want to see pics of mini max lol

Hi ladies, had another scan today measuring 9 weeks 2 days & it's looking more like a baby now, could make out which way up it was & nurse reckoned she saw it's stumpy arms moving . Will post a pic at the weekend. Mrsmax I'm still waiting to see your scan photo!

What's happened to this thread, it seems to have died a death it needs some reviving ladies! Regal, how are you?

We seem to go through dry spells sometimes, don't we?

Glad your scan went well! It's so exciting when it finally starts to look like a baby! Just wait until you see it moving!

Afm, I'm full term today! Checking the toilet for my mucous plug every day now, and I think I'll get checked for dilation for the first time tomorrow at the doctor. I have a feeling it's going to be zero centimeters, which means Jack will be in there for a while. I'm pretty ready for him to come.

 

[Soleil Breeze]

Because there surely IS a drought going on here!

Can you believe that I have not stopped bleeding yet?! It's been over two weeks! At least it's moving on to the light brown side; no longer red. I also feel my ovaries working, which makes me happy. Unlike last year when it took me a few months (two or three?) to ovulate and get a period again, I feel like I am going to be getting my post-miscarriage period within the next three weeks. Maybe I'll even ovulate this week. Here's to hoping!

Rosa, I don't have any plans of IVF at the moment. After the debacles at the beginning of the year (when they overstimulated me twice and I never got to the egg retrieval), I'm not jumping up and down at the process. I am being ridiculously optimistic and believing that we'll get pregnant again on our before the year is out. Come next year, if it hasn't come to pass, then we'll try IVF again, I think. I just need to let go again and just be. I've made peace with the loss of my baby, but I have not yet made peace with myself.

I thank you girls for your support. I'm really not so strong. It's funny you say that though. I broke down the night before last. And I mean BROKE down. Sobbing uncontrollably. It was about 1am. I was sleep-deprived. I couldn't sleep. I told DH that I have tried to be strong and he, being the most supportive husband that a girl could ever wish for, said "You ARE strong." And kissed me and kissed me until he dried all my tears away.

It's a matter of trying to see the positives right now. I came across two quotes the other day that I am trying to keep at the front of my mind:

1. To be upset over what you don't have...is to waste what you do have - Ken Keyes
2. If you don't get everything that you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want - Oscar Wilde

It wasn't my time (twice! Grrr) but it WILL be my time. Maybe I'm delusional, but I have to believe that. I really do.

Okay, enough of me.

For the new momma's on this thread: What is the thing that your baby does that most brightens your day?
For the pregnant momma's-to-be: what are you most looking forward to about being a mom?
For those of us still in the TTC boat: why do you want a little one?

Bring on the shower of answers!

 

[mrsmax]

:wave: hi ladies - I love it when this thread is active.

SB - your post bought tears to my eyes. I love those quotes and your DH sounds wonderful. That is one thing I have noticed in the TTc community on here, lots of wonderful DH's - yet on the pregnancy threads there seems to be a lot of rubbish ones!!!

I am so pleased you have come to peace with your loss, but sorry you still being harsh to yourself. I like your plan though, to take it easy for a while and maybe think about IVf next year IF IF IF you need to - but a natural pregnancy is such a good sign you wont need it.

In response to your question - I am most looking forward seeing my Dh with his baby - I just love him so much and I cant wait for him to be a daddy. He will be amazing. I also cant wait for those calm moments (I think there are some!) when baby is clean and sleeping in its basket making little snuffly noises!!!!

I also cant wait to not feel sick anymore and to get my appetite back - I miss loving my food!!!!

Have just booked our Babymoon to Paris. I cant wait. We go mid October by Eurostar (the train from London). It is only for 3 nights but really need a break - havent left my home time since April cause I have been too poorly and had to cancel a holiday last month with my mum - hopefully I will make it to Paris though!

MrsP - I cant believe you are 10 weeks already Time is flying and Rosa - Jack will be here in less than 2 weeks I am sure!!!! I hope so.

Regal/Jogu - how are your guys?

I know Pink has some news - but will let her tell.

MsJ - no news from you for a while. Hope things are ok with bump and your dad

AFM - MIL was her usual horrible self this week when we went out for dinner. Long story, but I really dont want her to have much to do with Put-Put (our name for Bump), she just isnt nice to me or DH. Sigh.

20 week scan on Monday - I am terrified! Pregnant ladies - were you scared? I cant believe that everything will be alright.

SB, I can not believe you're still bleeding. that totally sucks. Hopefully by now (a few days later) you are back to no bleeding? Good news on the ovaries making themselves useful though! I totally get not wanting to jump back into ivf, especially after your frustrating times this past year.

I also like those quotes. And your dh is so sweet. Mrsmax is right, usually the dh's on these ltttc forums are. You are certainly a strong woman, even though you don't feel like it all the time. No one feels strong 100% of the time. Doesn't mean you aren't. I still believe you have a forever baby coming. And that day will be so perfect.

As for what I'm looking forward to: I look forward to meeting Jack for the very first time and crying tears of joy with my dh as Jack opens his eyes for the very first time and sees us. (Gosh, I'm making myself cry now ) I look forward to all of the "firsts." First time he recognizes us and smiles. First laugh. First bath, first step. I look forward to bringing him home and introducing him to our pup. I look forward to sleepy afternoons with Jack on my chest and dh making cookies. Annnnd now I want cookies.

And like mrsmax said, I look forward to being able to be comfortable sitting in any position, not getting winded from walking up one flight of stairs, having a glass of wine, sleeping on my back and going to my favorite gym classes. But those are all secondary. I'd give them all up in an instant again.

Mrsmax, PARIS?! You're so lucky!!! We went to Michigan. not exactly Paris. And then I remember that you're already over in Europe so it's probably not AS big of a trip for you as it would be for me, but still. That's a pretty cool babymoon. Have you been before? What will you do while you're there?

sorry your mil sucks. And yes, I was absolutely terrified of my 20 week scan. For several weeks before, I was scared. Everything will be fine. When is your scan? I forget if you're finding out the sex...

Must go see Pink's journal if she has one...I'm curious now.

Afm, I'm doing fine. I think Jack may have dropped a little, or at least is starting to drop. I can eat more, my gas pains have gone away, my bowels are back to normal, I don't feel like Jack is trapped up in my ribcage under my boobs...all good things! My pelvis is more tender and it hurts more to walk. However, i posted pics in my journal and it certainly doesn't look like he's dropped from the pics, so who knows. I would be SO happy if he came a little early. I keep going into the nursery to "show" him that we're ready for him! I tell him several times a day that he can come any day now! We're ready! Hopefully he's listening.
