Team 'Pingu' is changing/relocating

[Lyns]

Awww, Noja, I can understand why you are so excited! How long is your LP normally? xx

 

[hekate]

hope - glad you are back home...hope you feel a lot better soon!

jem- I have been wondering about you...can't believe you are already that far along! and meeting the little one early....good luck!

noja - hope you are okay....really the whole ttc thing is such and emotionally messy business! sending you lots of hugs and really, really hoping that your will get your BFP!


Hugs to all!

....
Hekate-good to hear your migrane has gone, look after yourself and build up your strength again. Did you tell your family about the pregnancy or did you decide to leave until you go over next week? Very exciting! They'll be over the moon for you!!! BTW, do what animals do you have, apaprt from a cat obviously?!!!? ...
Noja

we have 3 dogs and 5 cats.....the dogs are quite elderly now and molly (the oldest) is really struggling with her legs.....and she is.. uhm a bit incontinent....lol....2 of the cats are old too and one has a long-term skin condition and the other has just been diagnosed to have a tumor....so all in all it's more like a nursing home for pets.....lol....but I would not want to be without them! the cat in my avatar is ruby and she is a little mischief at times....giving the dogs a run for their money...bless her...she is only playing mind!


as for my family being over the moon....well not quite.....have felt too hurt to mention it on here before, but slowly getting over it....
I told my grandmother on the phone about 2 weeks ago and she said: Did you have to do that? ....which "translated" means: on top of being a lesbian (and vegan) do you have to go and have children in that situation as well....
I live about 3 countries away (btw in a stable relationship for 7 years, both working) and she worries about what the neighbours might think....whilst the neighbours really could not care less!
I think it's a really crass to say that about any pregnancy....let alone your grandchild!
I have not heard from her or anybody she may have told (my grandfather or father) since.....still I am staying with my best mate when I am over there, who has always been more of a family to me than my bio-family...
sorry about the rant!

Aw Hekate

sorry your gran reacted like that but dont let her take the shine off things for you babe

I think older people generally just dont realise that times have changed now and people are a lot more accepting than they used to be when they were our age (besides... who gives a crap what small-minded neighbours/other people may think?)

Im sorry she upset you hun but im sure she'll change her tune when your little one arrives & she sees what a lovely family you make xx

 

[noja]

Evening ladies. Well, thankfully I didn't waste my last HPT cause AF showed up proper a couple of hours ago-she was bound to once I wrote that last post, it's her nasty way. Thank you for all the hugs and encouragement. I know I was grasping at a very thin straw, thank you for not pointing that out.

Now, I'm just relieved the wait is over. I had a drive of just over an hour to get to the apartment this evening. It was the most beautiful evening and the world looking fabulous clothed in its Autumn splendor. The moon came out- a perfect silver ball suspended over the Sperrin Mountains, and somehow, my hurting little soul was soothed.
So now, we're officially on a break from TTC for a wee while. My wee heart can't take another bashing just at the minute. So for the next wee while I'm really gonna try to concentrate on not concentrating on making babies IYKWIM.
DH rang earlier, he's on his way back from Scotland. His gran isn't well (this is his mum's mum and his mother died when he was only 3) so obviously this is really hard from him. The man who has made my life a better place to be must therefore come first. So ladies, if you see the slightest hint of me straying from the 'taking a break' path please, please put me right back on it and make me behave!!!


Hekate, I'm sorry about how your gran reacted, that must hurt like hell. And for the 'situation' into which you will be bringing a child-I think your baby will be blessed. He\she will know the love of two woman who obviously have HUGE hearts (I reckon you can judge a person fairly well by how they treat their pets!!!!), who have obviously gone to some effort to bring a new life into the world and who will provide a loving, stable home of which he/she will be absolute centre. I also think Nicky is right, put the baby in her arms and she'll be sold.
Lyns-my LP is usually spot on 14 days which is why I got the old hopes up. But Im not even thinking about such things for a while now...really!!
Hope-take care of yourself this week. Great to have you home.
Sorry for such a HUGE post everyone-apologies!!

 

[noja]

BTW, for the first time in about 20 years I have no cramps!!! Go acupuncture!

 

[hekate]

thanks so much nicky and noja....you both made me cry! thank you both for being so kind and caring!

 

[hekate]

I am so sorry the witch messed with you! I totally understand wanting and needing a break from ttc..it can be so very draining with it's emotional roller coasters...I hope having a break will help you feel better! and I truly hope that it is your turn for a baby soon!

on the acupuncture: it truly is magic isn't it? I should go back to it....it done wonders for my migraines in the past

 

[Anababe]

Hello :wave:

Hope your all ok

Hekate - Im sorry she reacted like that, unfortunately theres always going to be somebody who doesnt agree. I was very upset when my brother found out i was pregnant and he refused to talk about the pregnancy to me, he told my mum that he didnt agree and didnt think 'people like me' should have children.. but just as i thought as soon as he saw Caeden he loved him and shows him off to his friends when i go down there now. He hasnt really spoke about this pregnancy but im sure he'll be fine once he sees Logan. Its hard when a family member reacts like that and it does hurt but its only ignorance and usually not meant in such a nasty way, as it seems to come across. You deserve this baby so much and i know you are going to make great parents

big for everyone else and to those testing soon

[jem_5500]

Hey lovelies,

What a lot going on, Noja fingers crossed keeping fingers crosse dhoney xxx

Hekate I am sorry peoples reactions are sometimes just not understandable. People to come round and you will be great parents there is no one who can jusdge you on that as you know you will do everything you can and more xxx


I have o admit my friends were really bad and not great when they found out and past few days they are like different people and I could ask for me-shows people can change their tune.

Looking forward to hearing more good news....oh and dont get a kitten so close to having a baby it adds to the chaos ha ha. We also having a new conservatory built in 3 weeks....mmmmmm going to be interesting if bumps is here next week!! SHITE thats scarey!

You take care lovelies xxx Sorry again I am been so rubish xx

[Su11]

Hey :wave:

so so so happy.





sorry pic is not very clear

& to all

 

[HoneySunshine]

Well Su, that makes me even more convinced mine is too!! we always said we were having the same!!

Which means Ill probably be late if he's anything like his Daddy!! lazy little boys!

Jem, I cant believe youre so far along already!! yey!! I forget that other people's tickers move along as well as mine!

Simone, apart from giving birth, you got anything planned for Caedens bday?

Hekate, sorry your family arent so supportive you deserve this baby as much as anyone else!! Its gonna be so loved by you and DP, if your family are willing to cut their nose off to spite their faces and not realise what a little miracle your baby is then its their loss! Theyll be missing out xx

Noja - sometime a break from ttc does us the world of good, it worked for me and DH, after 28 months of trying we stopped for 2 months, then got our the cycle we started back, I do put it down to us not having expectations coz we were about to go under fertitily, so we resigned to the fact it wasnt gonna happen! then bam! Nature has a funny way of doing things So I hope it works for you too xx

Hope, Im so glad youre feeling better and LO is ok, you had us all worried! Take it easy xxx

Nicky, Lyns, Pretty Sakura & Chris, hope youre all well!!

Hiya Sammie!! :wave:

Honey & Anababe - Not long for you two now!

Jem - Wow can't believe your LO could be here before your EDD. How exciting don't over exerate yourself hun just relax and try and enjoy the last of your pregnancy

Hekate - sorry your family are being unsupportive most important thing is that your LO is going to be well loved
