Hope4Rainbow - congratulations! That is wonderful news!! I wish you all the best the next 9 months 
For me, AF arrived, I am on CD 3 and so excited. DH and I are going to start trying again this month. Of course I am nervous of what can happen, but I am hoping for a healthy pregnancy the third time around...

Just a quick one while I'm feeding my lo, I'll update properly tomorrow while she sleeps and I can get on the laptop.
I have changed the title of the thread as I don't want those of you wonderful ladies that have been unfortunate enough to have had more than 2 losses to feel you have to leave the thread as you didn't get your third time lucky.
We are all here to support and guide each other through all sorts during our journeys of ttc, pregnancy and being an excited new parent.
I hope you ladies don't mind me changing things but was very sad at the thought of anyone feeling like they couldn't be apart of the group.
Like I said I'm on my mobile while I feed my little girl but will update and catch up in the morning.

Good morning everyone
I hope you are all well whether you are TTC, in the 2ww, dealing with this heat during your pregnancy or enjoying being a new parent.
I have been having a wonderful time these last few months with Ruby, she is the most content little girl and its soo amazing to watch how shes changed over these months....
She has been the most smiley girl since her birth and her expressions are now soo funny as she really thinks about what we are saying and doing with our faces and then trys to copy us. Its funny how when shes really trying to comunicate with us she gets frustrated and i soo wish i knew what she was trying to say. I can't wait till she comes out with her first word and wonder what it will be.
She is soo close to turning over and just loves to be stood up so she can see everything and look around and has loved both my stretchy carrier and patapum arrier since birth - Ruby loves her cuddles thats for sure.
We have been enjoying baby massage and music, colour and light group every week and shes always shattered when we've been. She will be 4 months old tomorrow and im still on cloud 9 and the happiest ive ever been.
DH and I are already trying for our second as it took soo long to get Ruby we dont want to leave it too long then find it takes ages again. Our little family unit is wonderful we cant wait to have another.
When we got to 3months post pardon i started to loose my hair - the post pregnancy mault as they call it and am still loosing it - my hair is everywhere and coming out all the time...its quite alarming after ive brushed it or had a shower but the doctor has said unless im really worried about the amount im loosing or start to notice a bald spot i should just try to not worry as it will stop in its own time....so for now im brusing my hair 3-4 times a day and it is slowing but its not great when i have thin/fine hair to start with but we shall see what happens.- any of you other new mums had this yet?
My skin also went through a stage of being really dry (it helped when i drank a stupid amount of water as i think i was dehydrating due to the heat and breastfeeding)and my ezcma flared right up but ive got cream for that so can keep it under control - it only gets worse after a bad night sleep and this mega heat hasnt helped much but even so i just have to remember to dry brush and cream up before getting into bed with Ruby and I couldnt be happier now.
So now at 4months old my skin is much better on my body and we are still breastfeeding very well, im soo lucky we were able to do it and both took to it so easily - even after a few stumbling points in the first few weeks.
Ive even been expressing and supplying my milk to a friend of mine whos had a little girl premature whos milk supply is being alittle slow to come in - I'l be delivering the 4th load of just over 100oz to her tomorrow and i love the fact that i can help them out as its really helped fatten up and boost her little girls health up - plus its taken the pressure off my friend so she now isnt worrying about her supply and its starting to come in very well now so this may be the last lot she needs but ill keep expressing for them just in case....then if they dont need it i can donate it to the hospital for premature babies they have who are only on human milk and not formula so al in all a well worthy cause in my eye.
How are you other mums doing with the heat and breastfeeding - i could do with being on a drip the amount of water im drinking these days - i even need a pint during the night when its been really hot.....good job water doesnt cost anything
So ill try get a moment to upload some pics of my little poppet for you all to see as shes now weighing in at 13lb 4 the little chucky monkey - i love her little creases and podgy thighs.
I hope you are all doing well and look forward to hearing how you and the little ones are doing, x
The pictures you ladies have been putting up are ace, so many gorgeous little babies, cant wait to see if we have anymore girls as its all boys apart from me i think - im also loving the bump pics and do miss mine - im soo pleased i made a plaster cast of my bump its hanging on the wall in the nursery as a great reminder of just how big my bump was - great to show guests and visitors too Did any of you or are you planning on doing anything similar as a reminder of your pregnancy?
Right little miss is awake so ill check in again later, have a good day ladies, xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hope you are all well and looking after yourselves and your staying positive in TTC waiting to ovulate or with your little ones, xxxxxxx

Think I have a ticker! We shall see!!
That's me nearly 7 months and absolutely knackered!! Tried to take DS to the zoo yesterday and by the aft was absolutely exhausted. We have had builders in for 2 months now and think that's exhausting me too as stress has been immense. I'm actually off back to bed for the first time in 2 months as DS at nursery and no one in the house for once!
Hope everyone doing well xx

Hope4Rainbow- how are you getting on?
Bagpuss- the code for your ticker is different for different websites- think if you try again and take the other code option when you get to it that might help? Somebody else might be able to explain better, sorry.
SATH, I'm so sorry it's been a year for you, but you will get there- we are all rooting for you and can't wait to congratulate you on your BFP xxx
PopTart, sound like you are loving motherhood and doing a great job of it! What you are doing for your friend is fantastic. I have quite a bit of frozen expressed milk and despite efforts to get Matthew to take it from a bottle (his Daddy really wants to be able to feed him sometimes) he is stubbornly refusing, so I wonder if I could donate it? I will have to look into it. I know what you mean about thirst- I am drinking litres and litres of water every day - cannot satisfy my thirst at the moment- so unfortunately getting up in the night to pee as much as I did when pregnant! Matthew continues to be wonderful, but definitely a bit more crotchety (understandably, of course) since the teething started. I find that 'wearing' him in my sling helps a lot though. He was 15lb1 when last weighed 10d ago, but 67.5cm long- 62nd centile for weight, and above 98th for length- so very long and lean! He needs 6-9m trousers for length now but they're huge at the waist so looks like it's going to be dungarees all the way, since at least they stay up!
Will write more soon. Keep posting please everyone, I still always read although can't always get the opportunity to reply! xx

Congrats Hope - it's one of the best feelings ever
Love to all the other ladies still stalking but not a lot to say these days
Still waiting for AF and go on holiday tomorrow for 10 days - so if she can put in appearance soon that would be good

Aw Lou, he is so cute and smiley! I bet you are glad that tooth is through! Have you investigated those amber necklaces? No personal experience obviously but have heard some mums rave about them!
SATH, fingers crossed for catching the eggy before OH goes away!
Garfie, thinking about you, hope you have a great holiday and that you catch the eggy too!
Hope, that's great news about seeing heartbeat, really hope this is it for you!
AFM, loving being on mat leave, amazing how time flies just pottering about, going dog walks, going out for lunch, nesting etc, it's great. 36 weeks on wed so nearly fully cooked! Had consultant on tues and got another scan, baby measuring just right and everything else looking good except i'm now on iron tablets as am a bit anaemic. Also acid reflux and trapped wind are a bit troublesome!!
Hope everyone else is well xxx

Hi All, hope everyone is doing well. Here are a few pics of Josh. He is being so good recently and spoiling us with loads of precious smiles - especially when he wakes up.
What is happening with everyone? Who is next to have their baby?
