[mamadonna]

Aw ink I'm gonna miss you!travelling sounds fab though,do enjoy and pop in when you can,have a fabulous Christmas,and a happy birthday too just in case i don't hear from you b4 then xx

 

[windswept]

Awwwh, Ink that's not fair. You have given it your best, and as you say, you can relax and spend quality time without constant thoughts of ttc. Such a shame though. Enjoy whatever comes next and we hope to see you on here from time to time.

Well, ladies, I thought I was out this month - had ovulation pains several hours before meeting up with Mr W (after he'd been away for a week, so no rumpy pumpy). Made sure we did the deed that night, around 9 hours after ov pains... Thought we'd missed the egg, but made the most of holiday naughtiness anyway! Tested this morning and got a very definite BFP. Only tested to rule it out as I had no symptoms and hate the waiting... I'm terrified to get excited, but also very excited to have another chance!

Archie will be 2 years and 2 months old... Baby is due around my birthday - start of August. Doctors said they'd scan me at 5 weeks after my miscarriage, but am nervous about that too as its so early and there won't be much to see. I'm trying to be positive, but don't think I could cope with another loss.

In the meantime, Archie keeping me busy! He is being a proper little monkey... Still not sleeping, taking major tantrums if I leave a room (proper little mummy's boy) and making me feel awful every time I leave him with childminder... But part of that is that I'd rather spend day with him than go to work! He is so much fun and has lots of presence!

Ahhh... Happy thoughts or scared thoughts?! I just don't know! Thank goodness for you ladies! I am not telling anyone (except 'virtual' friends) until 12 weeks... And even then we still have the detailed scan to go away for on the mainland to check for heart problems. Its going to be a long pregnancy (I hope)!

Wohoo congratulations that's fab news!!!

Congrats Wind! How exciting! Hope this is the start of a long, healthy, and happy pregnancy for your rainbow baby to add on to your growing family. Archie'd be a great big brother!

 

[deafgal01]

Ink- hope you have a lot of fun traveling and seeing places and meeting new people. You're right - you've given it your all. I'm bummed to hear menopause has taken over your body now.

Ooh fab news on here . Fantastic news Stina, huge congratulations!! Good news that they're going to scan you early. 5 weeks is early but hopefully you'll see something and get the reassurance you need.

Sorry to hear about Ink though . I wish you all the best hun and hope you pop on here from time to time.

All is good here. Ciara is a little star. Very happy and giggly now and lunging forward all the time so think she wants to be on the move soon! 7 months old already, can't believe it! X

Oh Stina, that's wonderful news! Keeping everything crossed for a smooth & healthy pregnancy for you.

Ink, so sorry that it's not worked out for you TTC I hope you have a wonderful time travelling.

Nat, I can't believe how fast Ciara is growing up! Things really start to get interesting once they start to crawl

Everything is good here Alex is a mischievous, happy, bright little boy. He loves running around and exploring, climbing (he can clear the stairs in one go without breaking a sweat!), talking, music and dancing. He's such a funny character! We've just come out of a very difficult sleeping phase with him, as he cut 6 teeth all at once! He wanted to get up at 5am every morning, and it nearly finished me & hubby off! Fingers crossed that it's settled down now!
Will try & post some photos now x

 

[Waitin4astork]

Well, I can only seem to find one photo I can upload- tried 6 different ones and they all said file too large

Here's my boy at Toddler Sense at the start of the month, dressed up in his Halloween outfit!

 

[mamadonna]

Wow we do have some gorgeous babies on this thread!i can't believe how quick they are all growing up!

 

[deafgal01]

Waitin- he's cute!!! Could you maybe resize the pic to be able to upload them? I find that usually solves the issue for me when file is too big.

Nat- same goes for your baby girl!

How's everyone doing?

 

[windswept]

Hey! Great to see the baby photos... I'll need to get some up, but it doesn't work from my iPad somehow. Soon!

6 teeth? That's tough! Archie still only has his front 8, and they came in months apart. I'm sure that means the rest will come in one go! Archie just has one long difficult sleep phase! 18 months and still never slept through. We're lucky if he goes beyond 1 am! Then he's really restless.

But he's worth it! He's such a funny wee man! Always making me giggle!

Having issues with childminders just now, which makes me wish I was nearly at maternity leave already! But you just can't rush these things!

Anyway, still pregnant for now! Waiting for word about scan and booking in with midwives... Got a few nights out (haven't had any for ages and they all come at once) and will have to make the usual excuses for not drinking, which will be tough when it was me that instigated a few of them! New year will be particularly hard, have a big group of my bestest friends coming to stay and that usually means party... They'll see right through my lies!

As for symptoms, there's only two that have been recurrent in each pregnancy... Wanting a bath before bed and peeing more. For some reason my bones feel cold, which makes me want to soak in a bath!

Anyway, off to sleep while the boy sleeps!

Here he is!

 

[windswept]

And... One of Archie doing what Archie does best! He's a proper little water baby - now jumps in and submerges himself then swims the width of the pool without any problems! We're hoping to get him swimming lessons very soon, get those armbands off!

 

[mamadonna]

Oh my word isn't he gorgeous and getting so big!i love his curly hair!

 

[deafgal01]

Archie's so cute! I love that he has curly red hair!!!!!

[Nat0619]

Oh wow Stina, Archie is gorgeous I can't believe how much he has grown up! It's amazing how they change isn't it? I just can't picture what Ciara will look like as she grows older, she's already really changing from younger now.

Ink, so sorry you are leaving us on here. I will certainly make a note of your e-mail address and stay in touch. Do have a good Christmas and New Year x

 

[Nat0619]

Ladies, I've had a huge shock today. I'm pregnant again!! I am completely in shock and rather scared to be honest. Ciara is only 7 months old!

Basically I had one AF since having her, which was end of October. So took 6 months for it to return (due to breastfeeding I guess). Well it's since been nearly 6 weeks and I've just been getting a few symptoms. So I tested today to rule it out. Very clear BFP!! We stupidly DTD once without using anything. After trying to conceive for 2 years for Ciara I can't believe this. Panicking a bit right now girls.

Stina - bump buddies??!

 

[mamadonna]

Omg Nat!congratulations,two babies on their way on this thread!ee I'm so excited!

 

[windswept]

Oh my! That is exciting! Do you know your dates, etc? I'm super happy for you. I think closer together is great - don't be scared! Cx
