Lisa - Caitlin gets more adorable every time we see her.

Becks - I love those first chuckles. He is growing so quickly and sleeping so well. Great job, mama!

Karen - An exciting story! I hope everything went well after that. Can't wait to hear the rest.

Jo - I'm sorry AF got you, but what a perfect cycle with a great LP. Your body is setting you up for success!

Fiona and Regina - How are y'all doing?

 

[josie1234]

Thanks Crystal, it means a lot you saying that, lets hope so. Not in the best of moods today and had a cry on the phone to DH. Things just getting me today, hormones! Think I will be ok tomorrow, just a lot on my mind and think I just need to vent off. But yes, the best cycle yet I think.

How are you today? Hope you are ok.

 

[crysshae]

Lovely hormones! We all need a good cry and some venting sometimes. I hope it helped.

I'm doing okay. Thinking I might go ahead and have that blood work done this month. Need to have a heart to heart with DH before I get started though I guess.

Creative your story so Far is better than any movie on tv How very exciting can't wait for the next update . Hope all is going well and you get to deliver your little one into the world exactly how you would like xxx xxxxxx thinking of you

JO sending a big cyber and a just for you . This journey just plays havoc with your emotions ! Hopefully a more positive day will follow soon , in the meantime be nice to yourself xxxxxxxxx

Everyone else hope you are all doing ok , it's freezing here tonight ! I'm doing good although having some really weird dreams when I eventually get comfortable enough to sleep !! Most of them have the same theme about not getting to see baby after he is born , weird like someone took him for a few days and no one will tell me who etc ..... I'm guessing its to do with the increasing realisation that I REALLY am having a baby and SOON !!!!

Also dawned on me how soon Christmas is and I have done ZERO preparation . Time to get the finger out and start by putting up the decorations

 

[dancareoi]

Karen, good to heAr from you, sounds an ordeal! Can't wait to hear next part and also more details about your rainbow!

Jo, my last Af was 6th dec as I got pg that cycle.

 

[josie1234]

Thanks everyone. Regina - that made me cry. I am an emotional wreck today. I hope I snap out of it soon, hate being like this. Tomorrow is a new day. Off to bed so look forward to update tomorrow from Karen xx

So there I am, baby well on the way and no gas and air in sight and that set a slight panic in me. I didn't mind the no pain killers, but I'd banked on having gas and air to regulate my breathing. I had a few seconds of doubt as the pain hit fully and baby began to decend. I could feel the head making it's way slowly down and so put my fingers on it to stop it coming too fast. I eased it out through the "ring of fire" and then it was that magic moment as the ear came into view and finally the head was out. The midwife just watched and everyone was very quiet. Then I felt around the neck, and felt the cord. The midwife had seen it and asked me if she could move it and I said yes. She lifeted the cord over the head and then as I felt another contraction I lifted my baby out of me and held it in my arms. It was screaming and that was an amazing relief. I held baby against my skin and told it that it was welcome to a world where it would be loved and we were so happy to greet it. Then with every one watching I turned baby over for the big reveal. and there was a penis!
It was amazing, the love that I felt for this scrap of life and any doubt about really wanting a girl simply melted away.
I fed him and then we told him his name which even his sister and brother didn'#t know...... he's called Barnaby Arran and weighs 8lb.

 

[crysshae]

That's a beautiful birth story, Karen! Gave me chills and watery eyes. Makes me want to do it, but I always get so nervous about it....

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to all of you!!!!! Would love to see pictures of Barnaby!

Hope you are keeping safe hun

How are you finding it after a 14 year gap?

 

[josie1234]

Hi all

How is everyone today?

 

[Left wonderin]

Hello everyone its quite on here ?? I was away yesterday for the night on a Christmas shopping trip,with my sisters and mam . Glad to say most of my shopping is now done all that's left to do is wrap it all and put it under the tree ........ Wait first I have to get the tree and put it up

How is everyone doing ??

 

[josie1234]

Hi Regina, lol, at least you are organised with the presents. I have just put the tree up today but finding it so hard to get into the Christmas spirit. DH home tomorrow so will get him to put some lights up and maybe that might do the trick. Done opk today and had a second line but neg so hoping that it darkens over next few days but on previous charts it has been later (around CD 20).

How are you feeling? How's your bump? One of the girls I know had a baby girl last night. She had a hard pregnancy and always seemed to complain on facebook, I was thinking, seriously, think how lucky you are!

Very tired today, think it is the cold weather so will try and have an early night tonight. Any updates/news from anyone else?? We are defo due another BFP.
