[JJsmom]

Congrats Disney!!!

Aurora, that is definitely a beautiful picture!!

I find out what we're having in 4 1/2 weeks!! It's exactly 1 month from today!! We're so excited and I hope the time passes quickly! I'm sure if I don't really think about it too much it will but the last week will probably drag by. HAHA! At least we'll be working on planning a birthday party for DS at the end of the month so it'll be good to keep my head preoccupied!

 

[Aurora CHK]

Ooh so exciting!

 

[joo]

Happy Monday, everyone! Only 352 days until Christmas xxx

Hello girls!!
Missed you all.
I'm still in the TTC mode. BD every other night this week and hope for a miracle. Otherwise OH has an appt w urologist next month

Sucks!!

On a brighter note, I'm 133 days from graduating with my BSN!!! I'll be a nurse so soon

 

[flapjack10]

Ashley! Hope you get that sticky bean soon! If I can, you can!

Ok I looked at the pic... Awww that's amazing!

[Aurora CHK]

Love it! Must be SO WEIRD to hear for the first time. Don't know what you're missing, and suddenly 'noises in my head'. So cool his reaction was so delighted.

 

[flapjack10]

I love it when his dummy falls out his mouth what a cutie xxx

 

[AllisMommy]

I'm hoping too!!

I was reading up that if an egg is fertilized by an abnormal sperm.. It can lead to miscarriage. I wonder if that's what happened to us back in June

I'm trying to remain positive!

 

[flapjack10]

Yes hun the most likely reason is that there was a chromosomal problem and to protect you and to prevent a very unhealthy baby/pregnancy the body rejects the fertilised egg.

Keep positive hun! We're rooting for you!

Xxx

 

[mrsswaffer]

That's the most common reason for miscarriage in the early stages, hun, so it's not necessarily because your OH has abnormal sperm. It's really common in people that go on to have normal, healthy pregnancies.

Good luck with the urologist, and nursing is the best career I know (it's the ony one I know!). I qualified in June '11, and haven't looked back.

 

[Aurora CHK]

Morning ladies! Anyone watch One Born last night? Guess I'm talking mostly to the British birds here, although I think US pals can watch it on demand?

Bit tough to see people who fell accidentally pregnant giving birth, was well jel

'Oh no, its gone 3pm so I've missed Dickinson's Real Deal now'

 

[Sharris]

Hello ladies! Sorry I've been away so long! I know I've missed a TON.. how have you all been?!

Flapjack - Congratulations!! I'm so happy you're prego!! ^-^

Allismommy - Good luck and Congrats on almost being done!

All the new mommies and their sweet babies - They're all absolutely ADORABLE!! Congratulations!!

All the ladies with new BFP's.. CONGRATULATIONS LADIES!!

All you Ladies TTC & WTT - !! !! !!

I know I didn't get everyone, it's going to take me a looong time to catch up with all the posts..
AFM.. I had a rough few months, it's a really long story.. I'll have to update my journal soon.. and wound up getting a job in the process.. so I've been really busy!

 

[joo]

Hi Sharris :wave: hope things get easier for you from now on!

Aurora - I watched it, so funny. I laughed so much when she complained she'll miss made in Chelsea. And she was on the pill, forgot to take it and the condom split? I know it can happen, but seriously?!
Next week is the lady who thinks she's dying. This series is very scary for me because all I can think of is how much pain they're obviously in. I don't want to be the one screaming down the ward.

 

[mrsswaffer]

joo, you and me both! But I'm sure we'll be the model labouring ladies and will have amazing labours.

I didn't watch it, but I did record it (DH didn't fancy watching when it was on), so I'll be catching up today, probably.

 

[Aurora CHK]

Sharris! Good to hear from you sweetie! Some people's lives have changed irrevocably since you were last here, others keep trucking in much the same way... Can't wait to hear your updates

Aurora - I watched it, so funny. I laughed so much when she complained she'll miss made in Chelsea. And she was on the pill, forgot to take it and the condom split? I know it can happen, but seriously?!

Yeah, looked like such a lie about the condom, he was grinning awkwardly as he said it, like they'd planned for him to say it and he couldn't help almost blushing.

Also interesting how the mums were almost more involved than the OHs. Is anyone here planning on having their Mum as a birthing partner (or had them/decided not to if their bubbas are already born)? I think my DH might have a problem with that and think its not our parent's place/business, but maybe not. I think I would like possibly someone else as well as DH on hand in case he's not much use, even if they only come down for a bit, but would prefer a friend or my sister to my Mum. I think it might make me feel like a kid just at the time I'm most becoming a grown-up!

 

[mrsswaffer]

That's a good point, Aurora. I'm only having DH there, but if he can't, for some reason (ie: he's in hospital himself or something equally as important), second choice is my mum, which she is over the moon about.

I'm going to watch that OBEM now.

 

[MommaAlexis]

My mum, dad and best friend were with me. There's a girl on BnB that was on OBEM, talked to her a few months ago. Guys I've been on bnb almost every day for a year.. Oh my.

 

[disneydarling]

Haven't watched last nights OBEM yet, it's my day off work tomorrow so I'm excited to watch it! It feels crazy that il be in that situation in 18 weeks time, I think it's only just starting to sink in!

Also, finally started to feel some big kicks from my girl, so exciting!

 

[Smile181c]

i had my mum and df with me at the hospital. my mum played more of an active role but that suited df fine as he didnt really know what to do with himself anyway bless him lol although saying that, we both have said that for the next baby we want it to just be the two of us

joo, please dont be scared of labour! i know its easier said than done though. im the type of person who thinks their arm has fell off if i get a papercut but i coped really well with labour. no shouting/screaming/moaning or anything! the one thing i remember thinking to myself with each contraction was 'one step closer to baby' i also remember telling myself (in my head, or out loud who knows!) during contractions that as soon as it hits its peak it'll go and it made them feel half as long as i was only focusing on one half of them if that makes sense??

ps sorry for typos/bad grammar etc, im typing one handed as i have a sleeping max on my lap!
