The One Year Strong Ladies!

[CottlestonPie]

Lol sorry Chelsea didn't meant to alarm you haha
I tested again next day (not fmu but before drinking anything) and it was negative too so I'm not gonna test again. I'm on my last day of my pack of bcp so if I'm not bleeding by Sunday evening I'll test Monday.

So it was my birthday yesterday... Spent it picking out ride-on for Toby's birthday on Saturday. SO CUTE though seeing him playing with all the stuff in toys r us. And he got me a lovely card... I'll post pics later

[CottlestonPie]

Thanks!
Yeah he's having a party at a local nursery... It's free to use because it's part of the school where OHs uncle is groundskeeper. Whoop!
I'm so excited, a friend of a friend is a photographer so hopefully there'll be some lovely pics to show off

Thanks! I got a wee vid because although he's been walking a bit, he's only just leant to stand up from sitting without using anything to pull himself up on. Yay!

Happy birthday cottles!!! And that is too cute!! love the video! while i was watching my neighbor child did the same noise i got so confused! I was trying to figure out how they were watching next door- but, alas!! they are not! lol!

Just their loud child running around and yelling REALLY loud!!

so exciting about the party too!!!

We have ava's first birthday booked at our local pizza place (best. pizza. ever.) which is 5 minutes away. this way if she's overwhelmed i can whisk her away to her home. I also wanted originally to do it outside but was afraid since August last year was 100 degrees that it would be a bit much for her first party to be outdoors like that. she might melt. Maybe next year for her second!

Can't wait to see photos

Just letting you ladies know daretodream left the forums- (LONG story) she didn't want you to think she forgot about you ladies x

 

[HappiestMom]

she left? why did she leave without saying anything to us? thats kinda weird?

 

[Spunky]

How sad! Does anyone have her e-mail or FB?

 

[CottlestonPie]

No Such ashame

 

[HappiestMom]

I knew her facebook at one point when she posted these pics and something about etsy and selling her prints..if anyone can find that post (from back when ava was younger) then I might be able to find her... in her journal it says its coz of backstabbers on the forum and people talking about her behind her back or something..it must have been serious because even when she and I had that fight that time she didnt leave..so someone must have been super super mean!

 

[CottlestonPie]

So... AF is here. Not sure how I feel. I knew that test was false but in my head I guess I kinda didn't stop thinking "what if..."
And now I don't know how I feel. AF was due Saturday. I had some random spotting on and off between Wednesday and today and I secretly wondered if maybe it was implantation bleeding. But now AF is here (very light but definitely here) I'm kinda sad. And confused. I don't want to ttc again yet do why am I disappointed? Stupid emotions.

 

[HappiestMom]

its because for the past few years we trained ourselves to look for that pink line..to be excited when it was there..and to be sad when it wasnt..its just a mental thing and especially since we are all at our best age fertility wise...

 

[HappiestMom]

Well..I am officially trying to get Hubby on board for ttc#2 THIS summer!! June-November I know Im and its a total change from what I wanted at first but more and more people have been making points and good arguments and more and more I want another one sooner...also soo broody

 

[Spunky]

katherine - I know I was disappointed lots whenever I got a BFN even when we weren't trying and it would have been a bad idea (years ago I was on percription drugs that cause defects - so bad idea, but can't help but love the thought of a baby!)

Erica - Have you looked into the recommendations for c-sections?

 

[HappiestMom]

at my last checkup I asked him and he told me that if I wanted a VBAC as long as I didnt have #2 before Brieanans 1st b-day I would be ok and anytime after then he would be comfortable with me trying for my natural water birth again so I couldve gotten preggie last month if I had wanted haha...

Just dropping in to say happy Easter. Madeline and I are still alive, it's been a crazy couple weeks trying to get settled with her, among other things. I'm having family issues, DH is having work issues, I'm trying to figure out my return to work schedule. It's been draining, I won't lie. Just wanted to say hello to everyone.
