MASSIVE CATCH-UP!! *takes a deep breath!* Here goes...
Tawn – *Releasing previously pent-up excitement…* YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness I could have burst this morning reading your news about your BFP!! I actually saw your ticker pop up first and told my DH that one of the girls took a + test (I think I was beaming when I told him!) and he was like “oh, that’s really nice Honey”. They don’t really get how we can be so happy for someone we’ve never met and hardly know, but your news is very exciting to me!! How are you feeling?
And about your brother’s wedding, I know the timing isn’t ideal, but a bub is definitely the best reason to be missing it hun. I’m sure they will understand. Bub might even be born on their day! And that would be a wonderful connection for you all to have. I was thinking though that maybe you could Skype in for the ceremony and maybe the speeches at the reception? Dress as though you’re there and get your hair and makeup done and you can be a ‘special guest’ on the day.
About the comment to do with 'somebody'... I know who you mean and I agree they wouldn't even have read it. It's people like that who make these forums a dull selfish place to be and I'm glad that none of the other ladies in here are like that. Bailey - these people make other threads feel impersonal too and not the supportive place we've come to find this thread to be, so I'm glad you're sticking around in here! Don't feel bad for having said that though. I know I asked if it was me, but I think we all know whether we're being that way or not (and we're not). Don't stress Tawn xx
Bailey – I understand completely about the housework. I hint and ask and when DH doesn’t do things I just end up doing it myself then holding a grudge! Having said that, he is pretty good mostly, but I think boys don’t understand that we don’t like to just leave things ‘till we feel like it’ cause it never gets done that way. PLEASE take it easy though and don’t drag that vacuum up the stairs for goodness sake!
And your friend… Sounds immature to be honest. It’s like it’s all about her as far as she’s concerned and if your news doesn’t thrill her she’s not the type to even pretend to be happy. I was glad to hear about your other friend’s response though – she’s a keeper! Sucks big time about the bag, but maybe she’ll get that you have been the better friend and step up a bit. I would email a complaint to the site too!
Cath – Your outfit looked gorgeous, so at least you would have looked like an absolute stunner sitting on the curb bawling your eyes out xx I hope everything goes ok with your visit with your granddad today. Thinking of you… And I think going through hard stuff is made worse when we can’t feel connected properly to the people who care most about us, so that would explain why not having had time with OH for most of the week would have stirred up more stuff and made emotions and arguments closer to the surface. Give him a big hug and tell him you feel broken
Thurl – That must be hard hun. I haven’t hit my EDD yet from our first loss, and I don’t want to get there and not be pregnant again, but you know what, if I do I figure there’s a reason in all of it. The day will come and go and it will hurt, and it’s ok to cry and feel really sad about what you’ve lost. Try to keep your chin up though and keep dreaming about your rainbow baby. I’m sure he or she will be glad one day of the fact that your angel didn’t get to come and meet you and DH – they probably would never have been here otherwise x Are you feeling better after your date last night?
Cupcake – I love reading your posts, you’re so positive and lovely. I don’t feel like I know much about you yet though! Maybe I skimmed over an important post (sorry!), can you remind me where you are in your cycle/TTC journey?
Fletch – WE MISSED YOU!! Hope you made a gorgeous tent baby while away. Glad you had a great time!
Shelby – I’ve only just realised I was calling you Shellie… FAIL! Sorry hun. Hope the next few weeks goes super quick for you and we both catch our eggys in August!
And I know how you feel about not seeing friends’ babies. One of the girls from my mums group just had her bub on Thursday (I only found out today) and I felt really mixed emotions getting a text from her with the announcement… I AM really happy, but at the same time I just can’t be very excited for her. I’m sure it’ll change when I get to meet Aston (what do you think about the name?). Babies have an amazing way of making everything better I think – even when they’re not yours. I have mums group on Mondays with my 2 year old and there are 4 new babies in the group now too, so I will be stealing one of them away tomorrow for a nice cuddle for sure!
Mrs D - Your day away sounded fabulous. I have no idea where any of those places are... But it just gave me the warm fuzzies reading about your day
Don't get too much sun though! Having grown up under the Australian sun I can't say enough about the importance of sun protection, so please make me feel better and tell me you are using sunscreen when you 'sun worship'...?
AFM - It looks like AF has just about left the building, which makes it a shorter period for me, but I'm not complaining and it did feel more normal. I have in my head already a BD plan for this month too so I'm feeling confident. Just keep reminding myself with all the little disappointments each month that even a healthy 'fertile' couple only have a 1 in 4 chance each month of conceiving, so we're not doing too badly.
Love you all xx Sorry if I missed anyone.
