For you non-Brit ladies, Sunday Brunch is a magazine type show with cooking, other food related items, interviews, music, that sort of thing. It is on (as the name implies) mid morning every Sunday for a couple of hours and every week they have a theme for viewers to send in their photographs. This week it was crying or smiling children They show a few from the ones they've been sent in and ours got shown this week!

 

[Miniegg27]

Love that photo!! I usually watch Sunday brunch but couldn't this weekend.

CC you must be feeling a huge mix of emotions about going back to work tomorrow but once you've got tomorrow out the way you'll feel stronger. If you need to cry do it don't hold it in. I'm sure your work friends will be very supportive. Will be thinking of you tomorrow.

Jo Thank is so funny, I love it XXX I showed it to DH and he wants to know who upset who.

 

[J04NN4]

I think Felix upset us We had a friend visiting who is dead into photography, he had brought all sorts of kit to take a wholesome family portrait and Felix wouldn't stop crying every time we tried to take it. We thought we could either get stressed about it or go with it

 

[Banana2012]

Hello girls I wonder if anyone else has popped yet?! I hope the wait isn't too frustrating for those of you who haven't!

CC, I hope going back to work went as well as it could

Jo, I love that picture!

Things are still going well with the girls, they're gaining weight and everything's going fairly smoothly for them. I had a rough week as I had a funny tummy and couldn't risk going in to see them, so missed out on 5 days of their little lives I found it so hard, particularly as I'd already missed out on 2 days at the beginning when I was too poorly to be moved from the high dependency unit . I felt almost angry that all the nurses were getting to see them and telling me how lovely they were, yet the one person who really should be with them all the time couldn't be I know it was for the best though, just so frustrating! I feel much better for seeing them yesterday, so hopefully things will get better from now on.

Hugs to everyone

 

[J04NN4]

Oh Banana that sounds awful! I'm glad you're feeling better and hope you've got to spend lots of time with those girlies. I think your feelings towards the nurses are totally understandable, I felt resentful of the nurses cup feeding Felix at first when I couldn't feed him myself and I was in nowhere near the sort of situation you are in. They'll be all yours before you know it though

It's all very quiet around here. I hope that's because there's some little babies arriving!

CC, how are you doing?

All you ladies baking beans, I hope you're doing really well. Any milestones coming up any time soon? Scans/new trimesters etc?

AFM - Felix is meeting his great grandparents this afternoon! They are on their way from the airport right now. I'm so excited and so are they. We're all doing well and Felix is getting so big. He can reach out for toys and put stuff in his mouth now, as well as rolling over and bearing his weight on his legs. We're in the middle of the four month sleep regression due to all this mental development so we're knackered but happy!

 

[Snuffles]

Yay for Felix getting to meet his great grandparents

AFM: I'm 15 weeks today and yesterday I bought a gender neutral outfit for LO. Got it for $2

 

[mojo86]

Hi ladies! Not been on this thread in a while so im pretty behind. Just trying to catch up.

CC - im a bit late but im so sorry to hear your sad news! Big x

Mini – congratulations hun! I really hope this is a sticky bean for you and hope you are keeping well??

Banana – massive congrats to you hun! Your girls are sooo beautiful and im glad they are doing so well in NICU you will have them home in no time! Looking forward to seeing more pics of them as they grow!

Jo – cant believe Felix is 4 months old already!! Hope he enjoys meeting his great grandparents!! Loved the photo of you all crying LOL!

Snuffles – are you going to find out if your having a boy or a girl or are you keeping it a surprise?

Hope all the rest of you ladies are doing well and those of you due this week are feeling ok! Best of luck when the time comes! Looking forward to hearing all these birth stories!!

AFM: we had our 3D scan last week it was amazing I couldn’t believe how clear the photos were. I feel like its a bit more real now though I keep looking at the photos and thinking he cant possibly be mine lol!

 

[Miniegg27]

Thanks Mojo! Your 3d scan sounds amazing, wld love to see a picture!!!! I'm all good at the moment! Went to my dr this week and asked her a million questions as I'm feeling so anxious. I know I need to try and relax but everything is freaking me out. She's going to book me in for a dating scan as we're not sure about my dates. Just gotta take one day at a time.

CC how did work go this week? Hope you're ok?

Snuffles I can't believe you're 15 weeks! How u feeling?

Jo I bet felix's great grandparents were so excited to see little Felix!

Banana how are those gorgeous girls doing?

Scardicats due soon good luck!!!! You've been awfully quiet!!

If I've missed anyone I'm sorry hope you're all well!

 

[chickenchaser]

Hi Mini, Work was Ok thanks, nice to be back really. It is only natural to be anxious, was your Dr helpful?

 

[Miniegg27]

Oh good I'm glad you're feeling ok about work. That's how I felt. Being back was a welcome distraction!

My dr was sort of helpful but was being very careful about what she was saying. She didn't tend to completely answer my questions but tried to reassure me. I haven't heard anything from them yet about a scan date. Hope I'm not waiting too long as just need to know everything is ok.

 

[Mrs.Luvbug]

cc- so glad to hear that work went well- I'm sure that's a relief!

Mojo- so nice to hear from you- those 3d ultrasounds are pretty awesome huh! I loved seeing our little guy!

banana, snuffles and Mini- hope you're doing well!

Jo- so exciting for felix to meet his great grandparents and I hope you guys are having a lovely time!

I hope everyone is doing well. And to the ladies that are due around now- I hope things go smoothly for all of us!

AFM...I've had an interesting week to say the least. I went to the doctor on Tuesday as I had been having weird symptoms in my face. Long story short I have Bells Palsy so I have very little control over my left side of my face. I guess it's pretty common in pregnant women and it should go away shortly after I have him ( given it's pregnancy induced ). It's frustrating and has definitely made me miserable.
My mom surprised me and is here now, waiting for this little boy to arrive. Dh and my mom have had me up and walking a ton and are spoiling me rotten haha. I lost my mucas plug last night/ this morning ( sorry if TMI ). I had a dr apt Yesterday and have a scheduled induction for the 26th if baby doesn't choose to arrive sooner.

 

[annaki]

Hello all! I have now been cooking our Baby Boy for 41 weeks. Feeling very fed up! Just can't wait to meet him. Had a sweep today and it failed as my cervix wasn't reachable. I have been tears all afternoon (stupid hormones!). I will be induced on the 25th if no sign of Baby before then. I am determined to try everything so I do t have to be induced! Walking, sex, curries, stairs,one apple juice etc I am doing the lot!

Nice to hear from you all...will reply later as just off for lunchxx

 

[Snuffles]

Mojo- I'll definitely be finding out the gender!

Mini- I'm feeling okay. My stomach feels weird everyday but I've gotten used to it.

Luvbug- Hoping your little boy comes soon

Annaki- I also hope your little boy makes an appearance soon.

 

[Trying2012]

Just popping by to send you all love and hope those who are waiting to pop don't have too much longer and those of you who haven't been on in a while are doing okay.

I lurk on this thread everyday so do keep up with you all, we are still struggling on so I'm not joining you all here just yet xx

 

[chickenchaser]

It sounds like next week is going to be a good week with possible 2 inductions, I hope you guys get on OK.

Snuffles are you a bit more relaxed now. It must be better now your past your last loss date.

Trying, sending you the biggest hugs a can, I can totally understand how you are feeling. Please remind me have you had any testing/spoken to your GP? I'm here if you want to talk. XXX

Thanks loads and straight back at you I have had AMH bloods done & a Transvaginal ultrasound. Hubby has had a SA done. All fine there. Going to get 21day bloods done this week (later though due to late ovulation) and GP is doing a referral to fertility clinic regardless. Xx

 

[chickenchaser]

Thats good honey I hope you get answers, and remember I got my BFP 5 days after we had our fertility specialist referral. Typical.
