Totally Talkative, Crazy 1st-timers (NTNP/TTC #1!) - [22+ BFP's & 18 babies born!]

[roodles]

BBH and Ezza - your little ones are absolutely GORGEOUS. Harry, Poppy, and Pyper - precious names. If it's possible to be even more broody when pregnant, your pictures have definitely just made it happen! Thanks for sharing.

gorgeous babies! I agree, Pyper has this Australian-esque look about her (maybe I'm just being a little bit stereotypical ) it's sooo cute! I love the name Poppy...especially swooning over the pic of them snuggling!

It's good that you can come on here still, Alex. Especially with Lara sick still I think it's nice that you're not completely alone (iykwim?!). it's best for both of you!

Gorgeous group of babies we have in here
I have a question for all our preggers and new mamas What are some of the things you have learned, through pregnancy/childbirth/breastfeeding things like that? The things that no one EVER told you, but wished you had known!

 

[roodles]

Smile - Max is so beautiful. Congratulations. And that smile is too cute.

Pyper is so gorgeous. She looks so Australian.

I know what you mean! Love her to bits!

Hi ladies!

I joined B&B nearly a year ago after my husband and I had been TTC for a couple of months, and loved how friendly everyone was! But health problems and hospitalisation meant we had to stop for a long while, so I stopped coming on here because I found everyone else's exciting stories a little depressing (although I was happy for you guys too - I was just not in a great place!).

Anyway, at the start of September I was finally off of all meds and we decided to try again... and conceived right away!! During my two week wait (more like three for me - I have a really long cycle!) I have been lurking on these forums a LOT to check out other people's symptoms and compare them to mine (I am very neurotic, haha). I got my BFP on Sunday!

So I'm looking forward to hopefully chatting with you guys once again - be nice to have some company on this crazy journey!

A quick peruse and it's wonderful to see so many BFPs etc in the time I've been away. Sending best wishes to those TTC xo

Hi roodles! congrats on your BFP! I'm currently 5dpo (going crazy I deffo couldn't stand a three week wait)!

Max is gorgeous Chloe love the smiley pics - suits your name now!

Hmmm. Everyone pushes formula here. Like, you say oh she's fussy, tired, doesn't sttn, etc. everyone thinks it's this cure all thing. My mom and dad both told me to give up when my supply dropped. I got it back up and am still bfing. Everyone says all this stuff about spoiling them.. They just came out of you. The world is scary. I remember how nervous I was to take her out the first time cause it was so new. Times that by 1000 is their fear. So of course they want you close by. So if your baby needs a snuggle, kindly tell all the well meaning "cry it outters" that you don't mind it. My own mother told me to let Lara cry it out for "a.few days" to get rid of her colic. so, don't always listen to your mother. Also after nine months of heartburn, peeing every hour and being suuuuper uncomfortable.. I get more sleep now then I have all year!

 

[Queen Bee.]

Thank you, Alex
Even without a child, I still get told how to raise it how awful is that? LOL

 

[flapjack10]

How's your month going Miranda? Are you in the TWW?

xxx

 

[Queen Bee.]

Yes! about 5dpo It is going really well, I thought I would switch it out every month, relaxed bding one month... constant the next. lol maybe that way I get a slight break each month and don't drive myself insane stressing about stuff.

How are you doing hun?

 

[flapjack10]

Sounds like a plan! I'm 5dpo too! Think I'm going a bit mental because I'm off work poorly so haven't got much else to think about!

[Queen Bee.]

Oh no, Sorry you are poorly hope you feel better soon, but I've heard being sick can help sometimes Fingers crossed! future bump buddies! I got some art supplies I will be filling my time with soon, can't wait!

 

[flapjack10]

Other girls have said that too! FX! Ooh what are your art supplies? Paints? What are you painting?

[Queen Bee.]

Its a sketch pad with different, sketch pencils, shading pencils, some metallic ones.
I would have bought paints, but I haven't painted much. I love sketching/drawing anything related to it. I am thinking of doing landscapes, they are by far my favorite thing to draw. I have gotten a lot of ideas from when we take a drive up the coast, It's just an amazing view.

Hello

I'm fairly new to all this but have been on the site for little while now and it's become almost a little haven
I have had a quick read through this thread and you all seem lovely and jolly so thought I'd say hello
Basically I'm 27, have been married a couple of months and have been ntnp (although we think its trying-we're just not overly into the science bits of it, far too confusing for me!!! )
Still figuring out my cycles but as I haven't been on bc for many years it seems easier for me than others I have spoken to on here!!
I am currently on cd20 and about 4dpo I think

Anyway, hope you are all having a lovely evening!! I'm looking forward to hopefully some giggles and some natters xx

 

[Queen Bee.]

Hi Ell, welcome to the group :wave:

 

[flapjack10]

Aww that sounds lovely! Have fun!

[flapjack10]

Hi Ellberry! Welcome to our thread Congratulations on your recent nuptials!
How cool that there are a few of us at similar points in the TWW! Can't wait for testing time

Xxx

 

[Ellberry]

Thank you And for the congratulations...seems a long time ago now
So far I have always given into my impatience-ness and tested ridiculously early but this month I'm not feeling overly positive, oh well, I'm sure that will change soon enough

How long have you been trying for? x
