My little boy?

Awe!!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

I'm back.....

All went brilliantly, the people due to be scanned before me didn't turn up so I was allowed a double length appointment so lots of baby watching time. We saw a good nose bone and on average fluid measured 1.4mm so she wasn't concerned at all about downs, she forgot to print me pics so as I was about to leave and I asked if I could have a pic she apologised for not printing as she went along and got me to lay back down and did some more scanning and printed them which I thought was really nice of her

Yay!!!

 

[ttcbabyisom]

Yay mrsd so pleased for you! Post a pic when you get a chance

Your little girl is ADORABLE Tawn!!!

 

[SATH]

Mrs d great scan amazing the difference in just a week. Nearly 2nd tri so you can relax and enjoy!!

Tawn OMG that pic is precious she needs a spoiler alert for cuteness!!

Catch up later after work. No symptoms here.

Morning Sath. When will you be testing?

What's everyone up to today? I am at work the evening.

I've woke up with such bad ovulation pain! At least I know it's happening lol!

 

[cupcake1981]

Boo for work later on!

Gonna pop out later if I can get organised!

7 hours from Zach again last night little superstar! Fed at 8:30, woke at 3:30, altho I didn't get to bed til 10:30 and woke at 2 with him stirring so pumped, need to plan my evenings smarter so I can make the most of these amazing nights!

 

[Tawn]

Awww thanks ladies. We think she is absolutely adorable too...makes it hard to get frustrated with her over the lack of sleep when she smiles at you like that

MrsD, LOVING the pic! Are you going to find out the gender when the time comes!? (please say yes please say yes!) And the new house new baby thing worked for us too, we got pg first cycle in our new house

Cupcake, wow what a little superstar Zach is! You should try to get to bed earlier and you would so you can get loads of sleep! I am so amazed at you getting out of the house so much, when Madison was that age I was pleased if I managed to shower lol. Gosh, I hope if we ever have a number 2 that he/she is a bit easier during the early months!

Bailey, when is your official move date hun? If you are having O pains are you going to have a sneaky bit of bd'ing to try and catch it or are you determined to wait? I cannot imagine trying so soon, you must be superwoman full of energy! I get broody sometimes just seeing how Maddie is growing up so fast, but I really want to enjoy time with just her before adding another in the mix (plus I need to be able to cope if #2 is a non-sleeper as well ) so I think I will wait until she is at least 1.5 or so. A nice 2-2.5 year gap will hopefully give me enough time to recover lol

Sath, how is the TWW treating you? Are you usually an early tester or do you wait for AF to be late?

TTC, when are you testing as well hun? Did I miss any updates on your Dr appts lately while I haven't been on BnB as much? How's all that coming?

 

[baileybubs]

Cupcake where you thinking of going out Hun? I want to go out today too but it's raining and we have very little money til we move so it's hard to think of what we can do!!!
Yay for Zach he's doing so well! Yeah I used to stay up late and then regret it, these days I don't wait up for df as much and I go to bed between 9 and 10.

Tawn hi Hun! Oh I'm not superwoman tawn I think you are!! Step son, baby and working since she was 3 weeks on very little sleep! I think I'm just a bit crackers lol, I just know I want two children and as I'm 30 now i want to make sure that I have my 2 kids before I focus on my career.
I don't think we'll have a sneaky bd this month, I don't want to be going back to work with an obvious baby bump (if I would be lucky enough to catch so soon!). They are being really good and flexible with me but I think if they thought I was pregnant they could say they don't have the hours I can do etc. But next month I might be more inclined lol! I would just love to be able to have a vbac.

How is your step son doing by the way Hun? Does he see much of bio mum? What does she think of you moving back to the US?

 

[MrsDuck]

Chatty girls this morning

Not long now til your move bailey, that limbo bit, knowing that you are going but you can't pack as you'll need stuff is the worst

Cupcake yay for more sleep and good luck with the outing today, are you going anywhere nice?

Ttc I was going to ask about your appointment too, any developments?

Tawn yes I am going to find out the sex is it July that you are planning to go back to the states?

Sath, 7dpo and your temps are nice and high, come on implantation dip I hope work goes ok

Hiya everyone else

Afm did anyone else have trouble sleeping this early on? I feel so sick still at night and my hips are going numb trying to sleep on my sides and I just can't seem to fall asleep

 

[Espero]

Morning Ladies.

No sign of the magic O Lady as yet. Never mind though, means I have the whole weekend to pin the husband down. Literally, if necessary.

Congrats on your scan MrsDuck! What are the piccies like? I was giggling about your MIL - mine suggested ironing as "therapeutic" when I was down...

............

 

[MrsDuck]

Keep bding espero, hubby is in for a treat this weekend
My scan pic is a couple of pages back, I'm convinced its a boy xx
Therapeutic, that must mean that she's got a cleaner that does it for her haha

 

[Tawn]

How is your step son doing by the way Hun? Does he see much of bio mum? What does she think of you moving back to the US?

He's doing OK, had a bit of a regression with behaviour lately so it has been prettttty exhausting all around in this household! He had a bit of a cry and said he wishes mummy would see him more, so Steve and I think it is finally hitting him how she is abandoning him and he is acting out at school and home to deal with his emotions. It's hard to remember that and try and be patient though when he takes a knife to the expensive oak kitchen table and scratches it so bad we can't sell it now or wipes poo all over the bathroom because he didn't want to wash his hands

His mum is still not seeing him more than a few hours once a week and is still lying to avoid seeing him any more than that (making up a "college course" for her hairdressing for example which just happens to fall on the day she used to see him so now she can't etc etc.) We gave her a heads up about half-term and said if she could have him 1-2 nights that would be super helpful and she said no, she has plans...... Ummmmm.... what? And then I saw on her boyfriends fb page they are going to a rave that weekend. Ohh and when he has an issue at school or something she laughs and says "well that is your problem now, not mine!" Like he isn't her child anymore now that he lives with us? UHG vile woman.

He is really really excited about moving to the US (end of June is the plan, we have a flight booked on my bday actually! Lol) as we sat down and had a long talk about what it would mean with regards to missing mummy etc and he said he doesn't care, he can Skype her. And she didn't care at all and signed the consent forms the next day for us to emigrate with him, not even an ounce of hesitation about her son moving half way around the world. Works out better for us, but seriously, what kind of mother acts this way? It baffles me....

 

[Tawn]

Oh and PS, thank goodness you are finding out the gender MrsD! I couldn't manage another yellow bump in here lolol

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw tawn you poor thing, you really have got it all going on at the mo. sounds like this move will be perfect for you all, a brand new start

Haha no team yellow over here

 

[baileybubs]

Aw that's so sad for your step son that his mother doesn't care! Although he is very lucky to have you as his step mum tawn. It must still be hard for him, I guess the behaviour is understandable considering his mum but I hope it gets better for you all soon. Glad it's made it easier for you though that she has signed the forms, at least you don't have to worry about fighting her on that.
Still can't believe she'd rather go to a rave than see her son, what kind of a mother can do that??

I think boy for you too mrs d!

Espero make sure you pin that hubby down lol! And therapeutic? Hmm not sure on that one lol, I walk away from it with a bad back so it causes me more bother than being therapeutic lol!

 

[Espero]

Blimey Tawn. Thank the God of your choice that he's got you to show him what a real Mum is like. Poor little guy.

GOD I'M BORED!! At work and I do declare the clock has stopped...

 

[MrsDuck]

People on other threads have been saying that they can tell you the sex of the baby from the chromosomes when they do the abnormality checks, anyone else heard of this? They have taken my blood to do this as part of my nt measurements as I'm old and considered a high risk pregnancy because of my thyroid. I'm not there for another 4 weeks but I'll definitely ask at my next appointment

 

[MrsDuck]

I agree espero I can tell its Friday but bnb is helping to pass the time

 

[Espero]

Amen sister.

Pretty interesting too - I am TTC and that's my main interest, but I'm also studying to be a psychologist so some of the threads on child development etc are really helpful.

Can you tell I really like the smilies on B&B?

I'll be testing next Tuesday, the 22nd, same day i was due with the twins. That's the day FF tells me to test so i'm going to wait it out. i'm hoping for a miracle that day! We went to our first specialist appointment Sept. 19 and they had DH and I do some antibody blood tests and came back positive on one which said i develop antibodies against his t-cells so i just hear that as our blood doesn't like each other. Good news is they had a solution so we just started our first "natural" cycle of heparin injections twice a day in my tummy and progesterone. All of this started Wednesday, CD21 so we shall see. I'm very hopeful. If no conception this cycle, we'll do another "natural" cycle with just the heparin and progesterone and then in December we'll start the fertility meds and being monitored, etc. We sure know how to have fun in our house!
