Hey xxx
We had 2 mini parties.
One with my family
And one with oh parents ;-)
Def the year flew ;-)

That's prob it sleep.issue hon
All the new things
Simon wakes up practising things ;-)
Iys actually a good sign
Not that it feels like it at work ;-)

Ah you are back at work? Wasn't there worries about redundancies or something when you were pregnant? Are you full time/part time? I do 2 days a week and Patrick goes to nursery. He loves it, he has so much fun there. Only down side is he won't sleep much when he's there - at home he'll nap for a total of 2 - 4 hours during the day but at nursery it's a total of about an hour! So he is often quite grumpy when he gets home then seriously overtired by bed time...

 

[lilesMom]

Sorry I worded that badly.
I meant when ur working ;-)
No I won't be back at least till he is 2.5
Il see how he is then but prob nor back then either.
He has lots of appointments and we have physio and stuff yo do everyday.
I would worry far too much if I was working.
Plus it would be impossible to get child care that would do all he needs done for him
I'm very happy I can stay with him ;-)
I'd love redundancy ;-)
Ive been waiting for it but no sign ;-)
Ha ha.
R u happy to be working?
2 daays is nice. Xx
Any better with sleep?

Oh I see haha that was me reading it wrong So how does it work then, are you technically still employed by the same company but just on extended leave? I'm glad you're happy being at home though, and I'm sure he is very glad you are too

Not sure if I am happy working or not!! Being a parent full time is such hard work there is part of me that likes the break, but I do miss him. The days are quite long too as he is normally up around 5-6am then I do a full day's work, look after him once he's home, do bed time etc, then back to work to finish off everything. Then the same the next day! Zzzzzzzz....

I got 2 years carers leave after my mat leave
So my job or job with same ish conditions open to me then
I don't think I'll be able to go back though.
These years are so important with helping him develop.
He sometimes has appointments 3 days a week and I don't see it stopping anyttime soon ;-)
He is doing great though, thank God.
He is,the,best happiest little dude ;-)

Yeah I can totally see how work would be good and bad ;-)
Money, time to be me and see my friends, have lunch or go to shop without packing up car would be good ;-)
But tiredness, extra planning and extra worry are bad
Xxx

Hello Ladies!

I am so happy to catch up a little bit here

Happy Birthday Simon! I can't believe it's been a whole year since he was born, congratualtions to you all xx

and Smiler, you're already back at work a little bit. It feels like you should still have a tiny squish of a baby, hehe

I hope all you mums are in good spirits and that all us TTCers are doing equally well with lost of PMA xx

I've been using the internet less and less as I focused more on 'the real world' and tried to live more Lots of stuff has happened, we saw a fertility specialist, I had another early loss, my best friend had her 2nd baby, we bought an apartment in Milan, I had about a zillion blood tests and just found out last week I am MTHFR hetero compound... which is likely the cause of my recurrent early losses.

Hubby is getting his sperm test and culture done on the 11th of July. I am still meant to get a couple of physical exams, but once we've got those results we're going to book back in with the Specialist so she can disect everything and tell us the next step.

I've already done a huge amount of research, put myself on baby aspirin (which will likely end up being a life time prescription) and have an appointment with my GP this week. I also pick up my second set of blood results this afternoon and find out about my post ov progesterone levels and if I have any more genetic mutations.

It's all been a little overwhleming these past 7 days, but I am feeling positive.

Regardless of the baby prognosis, this information can and probably will change my life for the better. I am well equipped now to prepare for any future pregnancies and also to make sure my body is getting what it needs to function well on a day to day basis!

In other good news, I just booked a holiday to Spain in August with my Mum. She turned 70 this year and although we celebrated a little when she came to visit in May, it will be nice to spend some quality time with her

I don't know when I will next visit the boards, I find inftertility a little easier to cope with when I put my energy into yoga and breathing and living rather than the internet these days. But I haven't forgotten all you lovely ladies and the fantastic support you have given me over these past couple of years

Thank you and take care xx

Hi Everyone.. good to see some activity on our forum....

Lilesmom...
Woww..Simon is one year old already..He must b a handful...
Great to know tht Simon's epilapsy is getting better.. & i completely understand that you would want to stay at home with your little one to make sure all his needs with respect to his health are taken care of at its best & no one will do that job better than u... Wil pray that he stays happy n healthy always..

Smiler....
Hey..Looks like little Patrick is a very active baby.. He must be keeping u busy through out.... How fast they grow right??? good to know that you are able to juggle between your work and baby.... I can understand about you feeling happy and sad both about the job though....I might be writing your lines in a couple of more days..

Discoria..
Hey Hon....
So sorry about the recurrent losses hon..
Hope all the further medical check-ups and tests go well
and the results work out to be in your favor..
Have a fab time at Spain.... Take care n keep up ur positivity..

As for me,
Ivaan is keeping me busy.... he has started moving around by pushing himself ahead on his tummy.. its so nice to watch him.. i would be enrolling him in a childcare center once he is 7 months old.. it will be for half a day though.. from 9a.m. to 2p.m. I would be working part time.. everyday half day.. my boss has been very supportive right since my pregnancy and he continues to do so even now.. I am looking forward to get back to work.. but at the same time i am worried whether Ivaan will cope up with the change in atmosphere at the daycare.. I have been told that the kids adjust to change of place and people faster at an early age.. Hence starting with the child care soon... Hope all goes well.. DH says that i might take more time to adjust to stay away from baby than the baby himself will take to get adjusted to the child care facility will keep u guys updated...

Till then take care everyone..

Discoria so great to hear from you, though of course am so sorry to hear of your loss and the issues you have. Totally understand you not wanting to live online anymore so I don't know if/when you'll read this message but I just hope you are okay and one day would be awesome to update us with a bfp Congratulations on your apartment! How exciting! And hope you have a fab time in Spain with your mum!

withlovemom - glad to hear Ivaan is doing well We put Patrick into nursery at 7 months old and he dealt with it brilliantly. He goes 2 full days a week and although he doesn't sleep too well there, he loves his carer - throws his arms out to her when we drop him off! And he has so much fun, and has made some little friends. Of course he has his days where he's not quite so keen to go but generally it's been absolutely fine and I'm sure Ivaan will be fine too. I did leave Patrick 1 day per week before he started nursery so he got used to me not being around - grandparents babysat whilst I worked 1 day a week then when I started doing 2 days a week that's when he started nursery. So if you can get him used to not being with you for a little while ahead of him starting, it may help. But it is hard regardless of how well they settle! I do miss my little monkey
