September Stars

[_LauraK1982_]

Jelly I am so sorry to hear that. Xx a truly heartbreaking situation and can understand your pain. Massive hugs xxxx

Blob - obviously for when you have finished telling all the "important" people - very happy for you x

Sorry I haven't been around a lot - I'm finding the whole being on my own thing hard at the moment. Liv starts play school/nursery after The holidays and I'm extremely nervous about it. What are all the other stars doing ? Liv is doing 6 hours to start with.

Hope everyone else is well xxx

 

[Blob]

Oh jelly love I'm so sorry that's really really awful I'm sorry you are all going through this

Laura
Rosalie will hopefully start after summer for 2 mornings a week but the nursery in our catchment has no space for her and I don't want her to go to another.

 

[Fish&Chips]

Oh Jelly I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what you are going through right now. Big

GG how is your mum at the moment?

Laura we don't have any childcare plans for Harry at the moment. I will need to go back to work in the summer so will probably need to find a child minder.

Blob I won't comment until we hear officially but I'm very excited!

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Jelly, my thoughts are with you and your family. Xx sending my love. Xx

Blob, well done for testing! We shall await further news! Lol xx

Laura, sending my love to you too. Riley now does 3 mornings and really enjoys it. As he is an August baby he will be going 5 mornings as of September. Scary!! Xx

 

[Asher]

Jelly, I'm so sorry to hear your news, massive hugs. I hope dad can be made as comfortable as possible. Lots of love. Xx

Blob, well, if you had possibly tested and you did possibly have a +, then I would be very happy for you!

Hugs Laura, it must be so tough. It's hard enough looking after little ones, but on your own is even tougher. Re nursery, Sam's not anywhere yet, although he does socialise a lot and do lots of playgroups, he also has a day with his childminder. Like riley, he's an August babe so he'll go to nursery 5 sessions a week in September. We find out mid may if he's got into nursery at the boys school. I hope so, cos baby 4 will then be due and I can't see myself delivering 3 kids to different schools! Argh! X

Teeny, how's Riley doing with that potty?

I'm lay in bed at a premier inn with no kids! The wedding yesterday was lovely, gorgeous food and a wonderful setting. But by 10pm I'd had enough and everyone else was becoming more and more annoyingly drunk!! I was so glad to be back here by midnight! Made myself a nice brew and had a bag of crisps! We're gonna get showered and have a McDonald's brekky then get back for the kids and go for the usual swim. Have missed them all but I'll be shouting at them within ten mins I'm sure.

Lots of love to all, enjoy Sunday. Hugs again Jelly. Xx

Sounds heavenly Asher ah a night away and a bit of a lie in and mcd's for breakfast, sounds awesome.
Do you have any thoughts boy or girl? I always wonder if it will be obvious after having all the same? If I don't get ms I will just know I'm going to have a boy!

I was really hoping Rosalie would get into the nursery in the village but it's totally full gutted. So I have to drive 19 miles to the playgroup she's at going to be fun!!!!!

thanks hehe x

 

[Louise3512uk]

Oh blob you big tease! I would be screaming eeeek and doing a happy dance for you if you were to have tested and got a +!!! Xx

Laura bless you, you've not had it easy, Lilia has started going to a preschool play group two mornings a week and she's loving it. She won't get her 15 hours until jan though like Olivia x

Jelly, I'm so sorry there's no more treatment being offered to your dad, it never matters if its expected or not its a horrible shock especially with all the hormones and thoughts of the future with jelly 2. Big hugs hun cxxxx

 

[Blob]

Rosalie is also Jan, I bloody was due an August baby and end up with a sep baby

 

[Asher]

I have no feeling either way Blob! I think it will be another boy just purely because that's what we've got so that's what I expect! But I have no feeling about what it might be. Heehee we'll see in a few months!

 

[_LauraK1982_]

Harveydog !!

 

[Blob]

Yea it's so hard to guess huh I'm sure I will guess at every stage - see I will expect a boy because I've already had two girls.

Were we getting stalked Laura?

 

[_LauraK1982_]

I keep seeing that their reading but I've never seen them post in here. I don't get it !!! We're a nice bunch. Why not say hello )

Blob - I so can see you with a boy ) x

 

[Teeny Weeny]

So is that your announcement Blob! Congratulations. Xx

 

[SisterRose]

Blob - Congrats if you did get positive test! sounding very hopeful when would you be due?

I think that Asher will have a girl this time around and Blob will have a boy - complete change around!

Does anybody think that the shettles method works? and does anybody know when they DTD, O'd and then got pregnant and had a boy/girl according to that?
Last pregnancy me and OH werent really TTC and it was a one off, so I have no idea when I ovulated but from my dates with her and my legnth of cycle I do think that we did DTD about 3-4 days before I ovulated and I did concieve a girl!

This time we had that much sex it'd be hard to pinpoint which time feritilised the egg to be honest! we had sex all three days leading up to ovulation and the day of ovulation, then more or less four times a week before that starting from 9DPO(very serious about getting preg lol!) so there couldve been sperm already waiting for the egg from the days before(id think more likely girl) or it couldve been fertilised the day of ovulation or day before from more recent(boy?)

I really think I'll have another girl though!

 

[Blob]

If I'm really honest I can't imagine having a boy - though I think that's likely this time for me. I've only ever known girls and I hate anything to do with boy sports (though i would hate to have a child who wasnt really into sports - contrary) so that's going to be awesome on my own haha. I really don't care, just be easiest

SR I do but I think for it to really work it has to be far more extreme than that, like at the end of the sperms life? There are so many problems with it, like you could be more favourible for one of the other? There could be male sperms that last longer than expected too... It's hard to know.

Yea I guess, I need to tell 2 good friends still but I don't want to text them. I'm seeing one tomorrow and she's the one I really want to tell.
I would probably be due 3rd December so im about 6 weeks now... Hard to tell when you have no idea how long your cycle was so I guessed 40 days.

 

[Blob]

^^ that sounds wrong, I don't mean that I wouldn't want a boy at all!!!! I just know now that it would be a lot easier with them all the same ha ha

 

[FirstBean]

Yay Blob so exciting. Congratulations.
Just seen my ticker there and Rosie is 10 month old today where did that go, not my baby girl no more.

Hey all – this is the birth story of Lexi!
She was born on the 04/04/2013 at 01:05. I started getting real pains on the 02/04/2013, they continued to get worse over the next 24 hours – I stayed at home trying to handle them – the pain I was getting in my back was shocking though and they were really starting to get to me. I put Roxy to bed and decided it was best if we went to the hospital as they must have been doing something as it was going on for so long and they were so intense. We phoned my mum to come and look after Roxy and drove to the hospital. We were made to wait in a waiting room – contracting in front of strangers was so embarrassing so I ended up in the hallway stood in a corner crying with each contraction. DH was getting annoyed and so went to speak to them to find out exactly when we were going to be seen. An hour later they finally came and saw me. Got hooked up to the monitor as they wanted to check Lexi’s heartbeat (as she was predicted to be small she could get in distress easily). The pains were getting worse so I had the gas and air. I remember laughing at DH and kept asking him how he was. The next thing I know, Lexi’s heartbeat is going ridiculously slow (74bpm) and I was so scared. They checked me and I was fully and ready to go (this was an hour after being seen so had been there for only 2 hours!!) Got to delivery suite and they were telling me to push, I had one woman pushing the monitor down so hard and the other midwife pulling on my bits telling me to push. It was so bad as with Roxy she came out in 15 minutes but I just couldn’t do it! They decided to cut me and then she kept pulling me apart when I was pushing, it was so horrible. Eventually I pushed her head out and not long after she came!!! All 4lb 11 ounces of her! They were checking her breathing and she came out with Apgars of 9, 9 and 10 so no problems at all. Next thing my placenta wouldn’t come – consultant came in and decided to try and get it out with his hands – on the gas and air again!!! Didnt work so had to go to theatre, had a drip and a spinal block as well as a lovely catheter. Spent 45 minutes with my legs in stirrups, watching 2 people discuss the position of my placenta and pull funny faces when getting it out. I was stitched up and finally taken to my baby who was looking gorgeous under the warmer unit. Had to be washed then taken up the ward where I was quite simply dumped, no feeling in my legs, couldn’t move, couldn’t tend to Lexi so I was really sad. I didn’t sleep – just looked at her. 4 hours later, stood up asked them to get the catheter and drip out and could finally look after Lexi properly. It was a traumatic experience but in hindsight im glad I was at a hospital and not a birth centre due to all the problems. She is completely worth it though!!!

Congratulations STMW! What a diddly little one you had. I guess it must have been scary, but guessing she is more than worth it! Love the name too. Xx

 

[Asher]

Congrats Louise and wow what a birth story! So glad to hear that lexi is here safe and well and you're recovering too. Lots of love. Xxx
