%% OLDIES But GOODIES %%

[nessaw]

Hi all after 5 long years our little girl decided to keep us waiting an extra 2 weeks! They induced me on Sunday and Eva was born at 12.36 pm on Tues the 15th, weighing 6lb 14oz. We had a little bit of a dramatic entry to the world in the end but she is well and we are home and getting to know each other. Thank you for all your kind words, advice and encouragement. Much love to you all, will try and post a pic ASAP. Vx

Congratulations Nessaw!! Can't wait to see a pic.

Terri - Did I see somewhere that you're going to New Mexico? Are you going for the holiday and/or vacation? I'm jealous.

Fezzle - Happy to hear that your last appointment went well. Sounds like things are progressing well.

Hi everyone else! Nothing new here. The holiday madness has started. I feel crazy with the amount of stuff that I still have to get done. That said, I'm lucky enough to have off between xmas and new year's eve so I'll have lots of time to relax and hang with Adeline and my husband which I'm so looking forward to. How about everyone else? What are your plans?

 

[Fezzle]

Congrats, neesaw!

Congratulations nessaw!!! It was worth the wait, huh? Glad you and Eva are doing well.

Yes, I'm going to NM for Christmas. My sister lives there and the whole fan is going to visit her and her kids. I can't wait!

Congrats Neesaw!!!! 😄 Can't wait to see a picture of little Eva!! And if you have a chance to write a little bit about your birth experience, that's fun to hear, too. Even if you don't share it on here, make sure to take some time to jot it down so you have it to look back on later, it's amazing how quickly you forget the details. It will be nice to be able to share it with her when she gets older!

Wish! I can't believe you are getting twins to love on!! 👶👶 You'll have to refresh my memory, is this DD near you?

Sorry ladies, I have been so crazy busy with preparing for the holidays that I have been negligent on posting here. I pop in every once in a while to check but rarely have time to post. Tonight I got the last of our presents wrapped, and most of the holiday events that we had to attend to are over. So I feel like I can breathe a little now. As a kid, I never understood the meaning behind the Charlie Brown Christmas special and how Christmas had become all about commercialism, but I get it now! We are so busy trying to create a perfect, memorable Christmas, and I sometimes forget to just enjoy the season!

This Christmas season has also been a little bit cathartic because last Christmas, I was about ready to pop with Cody, praying he would stay in until after Christmas so it wouldn't disrupt my daughters Christmas, and then, hoping he would stay in until after the new year when we had healthcare account money set aside to help pay for his delivery. And now he's here trying to pull all of the bows off of our Christmas presents and his first year has gone by so fast I wish I could just go back and do it all over again! Hubby has his big V scheduled for the day after Cody's first birthday. 🙃 I'm not complaining, because I have more than I deserve, it is still just a little strange knowing for certain that this chapter is over for TTC.

Sorry for everyone that I missed but I am continuing to stalk and get updates on everyone! 🤗

Nessaw CONGRATULATIONS!!! I love the name Eva too! I hope you and baby are resting comfortably.

Katie-Good to hear you checking in! Hope you get to enjoy yourself now and create some lasting memories with your family.

Fezzle-I'm so glad your glucose test was good and that you haven't had any high risk complications. I wish they would just get over the age thing already and let you do what you want for delivery. Who cares if you will be 40 at that time?! Ugh enough with the age stigma already sheesh! LOL (rant over) Just enjoy your pregnancy and look forward to your little one.

Sorry to be so quick ladies but I gotta run. Just didn't want to leave without saying

Congrats Neesaw!!! Give that Lil one lots of love from us ALL!!

AFfM I'm feeling my LO poke and pop almost ever day now so that's good he still is the one who shall remain nameless.. Yes that is what I'm calling him or Atticus when DH isn't around

DH is spoiling the Boys since its there last Christmas as the pair so it's been crazy around here w presents and parties
Baby W has a few presents from mommy already too I still have a ton to wrap and a few things to get but I should Finish that up today if my tummy stays ok
Yes I'm still getting sick when I do too much

 

[Blueshoney]

OMG Congratulations Nessaw!!!!

I love the name Eva, that was a name I liked but DH didn't so I didn't put it on the list.

Fezzle-Yay!! for passing the glucose test!

Joy-I hope the Post Office isn't working you to death!
Terri-I hope you have a great trip at your sister's!

AFM- I had an appointment today. I got to hear the heartbeat (155 bpm!). I got so spoiled by the RE and getting ultrasounds every week. I hate that its been so long since I have seen her. I got my anatomy scan appointment scheduled today. It on June 6. Unfortunately, its soooooo early and I am not a morning person at all. Neither is DH. So hopefully we will actually make it on time.

We saw DH's parents this weekend and they finally appear to be excited for the baby. So that made both of us feel much better. His father even said that he will redo the tree house they have in the backyard for her! (Right now its soooo not safe right now)

 

[Joy143]

That's great Blues! I'm happy his family is coming around. Babies tend to bring families together. And a playhouse too! That is a while away but nice that they are willing to fix it up in anticipation of her playing there.

AFM-I am definitely being worked to death! LOL I caught a cold because they are running me ragged and now I can't shake it. Only a few days until Christmas and I am just looking forward to having my first day off since Thanksgiving. Working 7 days a week is nutso! Waiting to see what is going to happen with my cycle over then next couple of days. I don't feel like anything is going on but you never know...

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[terripeachy]

Joy-your chart is still looking Fabio I have my fx for you!! Sorry you're working so hard though. That's no fun.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and I'll be reading but probably not posting too often until at least Sunday when I'm recuperating from airports and business. Hee hee. Hugs and kisses to everyone!

 

[Joy143]

Thanks Terri. Wishing you safe travels and a wonderful holiday with your family.

Happy Holidays to you all!!

I just wanted to pop on and say

CONGRATS NESSAW!!!!



can't wait to see her beautiful little face!!

Katie - no my oldest DD lives 11 hours away so I am as not close to the grandbabies as I would like to be... but I do plan on being there for the birth and the two weeks following... Who knows - God may make a way where I can move closer...

AFM: voldemort (the name my daughters and I call my husband) is fighting the divorce - hired an attorney and everything - so even though I have court on Monday - it looks like he is going to fight till the death - and nothing will be officially over till March... I could hate him but that takes up a lot of energy... still can't believe that 6 months ago I was doing everything possible to have a child with that monster... Thank you God for protecting me from what I didn't know...

anyway Life is good... and I think of you often and hope all of you are doing well.

Merry Christmas everyone and I hope you enjoy this holiday season with your friends and family
