Aw hun we've all been through meltdown glad to have you back xx

Aw poor Dora, is she getting better since her visit to the vet?

I'm good thanks cath, this weekend I've improved hugely, I think another week off and then hopefully I can resume normal life and go back to work (not that I want to go back, I'm just looking forward to normality again) xx

 

[cathgibbs]

Yeah shes fine now. She had to have an injection. They said shes just a sicky cat caus shes sick at least twice a week but cause its just liquid its ok and she has very sensitive skin. She has allergy flea drops cause I thought she was allergic to them but the vet said shes better off having an injection against fleas which last 6 months...its costly but itll work 100000 x better than drops...got her home and she started having another allergic reaction to the injection. ...shes fine now tho little bugger! She needs to be looking gorgeous in case she wins the competition iv put her forward for..she will be on a tv advert lol

Ohhhh good im glad hun. How is your throat with swallowing abd stuff? How long have you been off work for now? Will you go back full time or part time? When can you start ttc again? Lol sorry for all the questions xxx

 

[MrsDuck]

Glad she's fine now, I bet the injections are costly though. What number is Dora now in the comp and how long has she got to become number 1?

I still can't swallow much, only soft things like pasta and eggs but at least I'm not in as much pain swallowing those things now, it's going to be a while til I can eat normally again but at least I'm starting to feel better and my skin on the outside of my neck is much better now. I haven't been at work at all since Christmas so it's going to be a shock to the system to go back.

I have to have another full body scan in four months time to check that I am cancer free then I if I am I can change my thyroid meds and start ttc, if not well we'll cross that bridge...

I just want my appointment for my scan then I can start my countdown, as I know four months can easily turn into 6 or more when waiting for a hospital appointment to come through

 

[MrsDuck]

I'll go back for as long as I can manage each day. I did a jigsaw puzzle for a couple of hours on Thursday and it knocked me for 6, I had to sleep the rest of the day and evening so I know I won't manage going back full time straight away

 

[AmyB1978]

Yay, cath's back, cupcakes headaches are better and her sicky is gone, Cheryl's nursery is getting sorted out, and MrsD's feeling better!!!

And no plans for our anniversary, he may try to get out of work early and we may try to go to an easy dinner with Emily somewhere. My parents are coming for another visit, just 5 nights thus time, and we are planning on leaving Emily with them and going somewhere nice to properly celebrate. It's weird cause I keep thinking about how this time last year family was all in town and we were doing such and such. This year we have our rainbow and that is amazing BUT I can't help feeling slightly nostalgic about all we were doing last year... I have just been feeling isolated and lonely lately but Emily is finally allowed out so that is going to help... We have attended a few mommy/baby things so far and I intend to attend many more and make some mama friends!

 

[CherylC3]

Cath good luck with Dora's comp. yup I'm rubbing a prescribed burn cream on xx

Cupcake are you finding out your bubbas gender? xx

 

[baileybubs]

Morning ladies,

Thought I'd quickly nip on here using my iPhone whilst I have a minute!

How is everyone? Hope you are all doing well!

Cath, was it the CB trial opks you used or did you not get those through this month? Fingers crossed that you did O and all those spermies are waiting for that eggy!

Mrs d - hope you are feeling better and improving each day. And can't wait til you can ttc again Hun. I'm hoping these next 4 months fly by for you!

Cupcake - yay for getting some maternity clothes sorted! Aw 3 weeks til your scan!! Did you say you are definately finding out gender or will you stay team yellow?

Cheryl - I hope it all goes ok today and you can find out what's going to happen with Leo's arrival! I'm so excited for you!

Tawn - how's everything with Maddie? Any new things happening making you think she might be coming soon? When is your next MW appt?

Amy - how's Emily doing? I have to say I applaud you for doing so well with breastfeeding, I am having a right time of it with Millie, she's a little monkey lol!! And happy anniversary!!

I hope everyone else is ok and sorry if I missed anyone!

 

[cupcake1981]

Yes we will be for defo! I'm quite surprised we've managed to not go for a private scan tbh, but we are superstitious about them now after our past! Hoping baby cooperates otherwise we may have to go for a private one, I'm desperate to know! Everyone thinks its a girl other than you lot on here!

Cath it wouldn't let me skip it hun, sorry!

Mrs d what you up to today? I'm jealous you are off!

 

[cupcake1981]

Bailey!! How are things? How is Millie doing? Did you say she's being awkward breast feeding? Have you managed to do any with her yet? X

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah she's being very awkward breastfeeding, I've made the decision to bottle feed now. We've tried really hard the last 2 days but I just don't think it's going to work. A couple I the midwives did say sometimes it just doesn't work and that if I feel we've tried our hardest there's no harm in giving her bottle. I did so some expressing so she had had some colostrum, and I can still decide I want to express and give it her from a bottle.

I can't wait til you have your scan cupcake! Is it exactly 3 weeks? Do you have a ticker for it? Are you feeling more movement now Hun?

 

[baileybubs]

Oh but besides breastfeeding Millie is such a good placid baby (hoping she still is when we get home lol). Everyone keeps commenting on how much she looks like her daddy too. She's got his laid back attitude for sure, until you do something she doesn't like and then she's more like me and gets very wound up and makes herself heard lol!

 

[Tawn]

Hello Lovelies!

Cupcake, I am so glad you aren't going to torture us by staying team yellow! 3 more weeks, is that all?!!?!? It seems like time is really flying for you now hun!

Cheryl, I love Leo's wallpaper! His room will be perfect when it is done hun! And I am anxiously waiting for your update on your scan, as it should be done by now! Is Leo coming tomorrow or has he turned!?!!? EEK, the suspense is killing ME so can't imagine how YOU are feeling!

MrsD, SO glad you are finally starting to feel like you are on the mend! But a big BOOOOOO to going back to work! I say start with an hour a day, reeeeeaaaaaallllllyy ease back into it

Cath is back yay! I voted for Dora hun! I usually refuse all those apps on FB, but for you I couldn't resist Sounds like your business is going to keep you unbelievably busy this week! Glad you put your prices up a bit hun!

Amy, silly DH! I hope you and he are able to enjoy your day together today, I also can't believe it is your first anniversary! For some reason I thought you two had been married longer. Makes me realize what a WHIRLWIND year you two have had!

Bailey, glad to have you check in hun! Millie is gorgeous! So sorry you are having trouble bf'ing, that is one of my major concerns as well. Is she not latching at all or are you worried about supply or positioning etc? When do you find out if you get to go home today?

TTC, I hope you are feeling a bit better after having a difficult time last week hun!

HIIII everyone I missed!

AFM, Maddie is doing great and being super active again, which is good! But I feel like she is just so comfortable in there, there is no way she is coming in the next 2 weeks! All I have had are some period type cramps (gentle, not super painful) every evening the last couple of nights, but from what I've read they mean diddly-squat So I am just gonna continue trucking along and be grateful this cold is starting to ease up a bit and that I still feel relatively energetic and happy at this stage (because we could still be in for a long haul!)

I have m/w tomorrow afternoon and then a consultant appt on Thurs morning to talk about the reduced movement on Easter. I don't think they will give me a scan or anything, but the m/w at the hospital said to be prepared for them to talk about induction, especially if it were to happen again. So I am prepared to go into that appt with my big fat "NO" all ready, and just wait it out until baby girl is ready to come.

 

[Tawn]

Bailey, I was gonna say as well she looks exactly like your DH!

 

[baileybubs]

Hi Tawn!

It's a problem with latching, she's not seeming to be able to get a good grip and keep hold, then she's stopping and almost going to sleep, and other times she's just trying to shove her fingers in her mouth and suck them instead! I've had loads of help but even midwives were saying its just one of those things sometimes.

And make sure you stick to that big fat NO for being induced!! Have to say it made things so much harder for me!
Glad to hear she is back to being active again and not scaring you!
