Amy, a wonderful part of pregnancy is when u really get an appetite and enjoying eating. Now that's fun!! Although I never got many weird cravings.

 

[mommylov]

I dont know if that is ever going to happen at this point! lol

A part of me wants to say "what a good little boy eating away and keeping mommy healthy. If you can go for the thighs and butt that would be fantastic!" lol jk But in all honesty I just worry that he gets what he needs and that Im healthy for him.

 

[lilesMom]

Sorry I'm reading but no post
Epilepsy is kicking our butt again yest and today
Proper post soon xxx

 

[mommylov]

Oh no Laura! Dont worry about posting! I so hope that S gets better.

 

[xoxo4angel]

I hear ya on the thighs and booty Amy! Joe's Jeans, the Honey cut, have been my best fitting jeans for that very reason! I'm curvy When I drop a few pounds I always say I wish my booty would get the memo Sweet little bump, grow little fella xoxo

Oh no Laura! Poor Simon...hope they right themselves quickly! xoxo

 

[lilesMom]

Thanks ladies
A good deal better this eve again thank god
Went to visit his cousins and went to pond and park
Our fave place
Both s and me love it there
And it's only 5 mins in the car
Its little but its lovely and peaceful

I'm feeling very sure tonight I could be preg
But I doubt myself in case of wishfull thinking
Just hoping for stickiness
Wouldn't kill me if not this month so long as sticky ��

Amy 18 weeks , brilliant xx
R u still throwing up?
Hope not
Nausea sucks but least it doesn't dehydrate u
Not to belittle nausea but just to be positive xxx
Hugs xxx

Jess s has his moments with kids
He avoids eye contact a good deal though
But is getting better
He doesn't hve his words really yet.
So conversations don't get far��
But he does try
But only when it suits him
Sometimes he seems shy
I wouldn't worry at this age hon
Its just lack of practise causing fear id say
Would u try a playgroup
Not that u prob hve time xxx

Angel hows p?
I'm sure u look fab in ur jeans
U always look thin in ur profile pics x

Bethany and Leslie xxx

Hope sieve head lol didn't miss anyone xxx

 

[lilesMom]

Liver consultant will be proud of me
I'm down 3 stone since having s
Down 2 stone since last visit 4 months ago
I go again on Thursday.
I hate being weighed by strangers
But its a good incentive ��

 

[mommylov]

Yay for S feeling better and HUGE congrats with the weight loss!!! I hope that your instincts are right and you are preggers with a healthy LO!!!

Yea, still nauseous and did throw up Sunday but was good for about a week or so before that!

 

[lilesMom]

Thanks xx
Maybe lil man is gonna keep u nauseous till u feel kicks everyday
Just to reassure u.
He is thoughtful already, like his mom xxx
Hope u feel better soon hon.
Nausea sucks xxx

Only teeny seizure in middle of night as opposed to long big ish one
So hopefully hw is over that blip now again
If epilepsy was a person id stab it in the face. ��
Joke. Kind of ��

Hope everyone is well xxx

 

[lilesMom]

I got tax I was owed back yest
So I did a teeny bit of Xmas shopping today
When u hve less money starting early is d best way
Half price toy sale so I got s a police station
It has loads in it.
Radio talkie, helicopter, little police men, cars and a few buildings
I love it , bet s will too
Also got him a kitchen.
Oh may kill me but u know s will love it ��
Hee hee
Nothing wrong with a man knowing his way around the kitchen
I'm a bit giddy today.
Delighted with the tax back
OH should be due a big ish chunk back
So it will help us pay for adapted car.
Thanks god
I'm rambling now , soz

Can we fast forward a week so I can test
My patience and zen is waning a little

Angel how long till dh gets home?
Hope u can talk him round
Or hope u feel better about the decision
I hope I'm not making u feel bad
U can tell mw shut up about ttc
And I promise I wouldn't be offended xxx



Love to all

 

[mommylov]

I would stab epilepsy in the face for you too!!! Poor S! That is so exiting about xmas shopping and I too see nothing wrong with a man knowing his way around the kitchen so better to start that off early! lol

I want you to test too... hope the week flies by! Have you pulled cards?

 

[Storked]

I am perpetually behind in this thread. Sorry ladies! Think that I am easily overwhelmed

Laura, yay money for shopping! Excited for you. Any Christmas traditions? Will have to keep up in here to get your test results hehe!
So sorry re: seizure. I mean, glad that it was not a long one but let's be honest: would be best if there was none. Big hugs to Simon from me and L.

Amy, closer all the time to another ultrasound to see your little guy!

Hi Angel and Jess!

Nothing much happening here. DH is working out of town so I'm relaxing with L at home. My sister comes over tonight to hang out. We will probably just sheet mask and watch garbage tv lol.
Not TTC right now. My cycles have never really returned since stress in April (seeing a doctor about that next week, in case it is something else like thyroid issues) and plus until my husband's industry is more stable, we'd rather wait. In a way I am glad to just live in the moment with Lorelei.

 

[aaronswoman79]

Laura, I think I asked this before but forgot what u told me. Are Simon's seizures connected to cp or genetics? I too would love to kick/punch/stab epilepsy in the face. Also wish I could get rid of Natalie's bipolar too. If there was a magic wand to rid our babies of these illnesses, I would travel to the ends of the earth to find it. Soon it will be time for testing. So excited for u this month!!!

 

[aaronswoman79]

Bethany, great to hear from u. Glad everything is going well. to u and Lorelei!!

 

[lilesMom]

My giddinesss is gone
If not preg this month, I'm gonna postpone ttc again
Had to give s emergency medication again this eve
And yest.
Oh has taken him for a drive to try get him to aleep
The med sedates him but he is like hw is drunk
He can hve trouble falling asleep after it

I haven't done cards Amy.
I actually haven't had time
Might do them now while they r driving ��

Jess I hear ya
Magic wand would be ridiculously good right now ��

Bethany hope u and ur sis hve fun
Xxx

I really think I am preg.
Tummy is a bit ahem... Slow
Burping like a trucker ( no offence to truckers, just mean a big man)
Hve more energy than normal
Was like this early with s too
But I could be very wrong too ��


Love to all xx

So I finally have an answer about this man I have known (dh) for the last 14 years. If I had known then what I know now probably would have not chosen him as my life partner, but can't have any regrets because of my beautiful children. He is diagnosed Aspergers and schizoid. I can't believe it took so many years to figure it out. All the signs were there. For many years I just thought he was prideful, cold, non affectionate, quirky. But that never explained the lack of eye contact, awkward social situations, his solitude, lack of friends etc. Now there is an answer. I have suspected this for the last 2 or 3 years. Actually I remember researching Aspergers like 5 or 6 years ago, but got busy with life and didn't continue my research. I cannot begin to explain to all of u what it is like being married to somebody like this. Everyday is filled with a multitude of challenges along with communication issues and my emotional needs never being met. Its hard when u can't get the support u need while raising 3 girls. But I am so relieved that he has been finally diagnosed and now we can all learn how to live better and happier and he wants to seek behavioral therapy (he does see a therapist at the moment).

 

[lilesMom]

Sorry jess.
His epilepsy isn't genetic
Its from the stroke.
It originates in the damaged patch of his brain caused by the stroke
That's why they think surgery could be a good idea
In theory take out the damaged patch
U take out the epilepsy cause
Doesn't always work
And can cause damage too
But we will see what further testing shows
If they ever call us ��
Xxx
How is Nat now hon ?
I haven't heard y talk about her in a bit
Hope she is having a good patch

 

[lilesMom]

Jess it is hard but a diagnosis and proper help could help ye all so much xxx
He can be taught lots of coping skills
Which will make life easier on ye all
Giant hugs xxx

 

[lilesMom]

Amy I did cards and didn't get the storked card
I did get the child card
But I think everything that came up was about Simon and me
My brain is full of Simon so I don't think I can focus in other things for cards tonight ��

 

[mommylov]

Jess I agree with what Laura said in that its great that you now finally have an answer. I'm sorry that you are having to endure all that comes to with this challenge with your DH. Does he seem receptive to more therapy or anything now that he has been diagnosed?

Laura, ugh I REALLY want to punch epilepsy in the face for you and S. It frustrates me how much you all have and are going through. Forgive my memory but did they ever say what caused the stroke to begin with? He was healthy in the utero and at birth right? If so then I guess it was just part of his brain that didn't develop correctly as you say? I'm also sorry about the angel cards but I wonder if they are telling you to keep doing what you are doing and focus on S and all will come together.

Bethany, hope you have a great time with your sister! As for ttc, Im sorry about the April stress but so glad that its behind you now. If it is thyroid issues, I hope they get you on something that remedies that and you are back to ttc soon! Also hoping that your DH's industry gets more stable and comfortable for you guys so that you can ttc#2 soon!

Angel, counting the days with you doll until your DH is back. Like you said though... thank goodness for Skype! How did people do without seeing their loved ones before this technology!?!?!?
