[crysshae]

Hi everyone! My internet has been down for 3 days! It's been crazy!

Fiona - I'm so sorry your end of year and new year were so difficult. I hope you are both able to talk and work through everything and figure out what is best for all of you. If that little egg was on its way down, I wish you tons of luck and sending you baby dust!

Jo - I'm sorry it looks like AF is on her way.

Becks - Brooklyn is a big one. He's going to be grown before you know it! I hope AF is letting up for you.

InVivo - Has AF or a BFP shown?

Lisa - 4 months already? Time flies way too fast. I love it when they find their voice.

Regina - How are you feeling?

AFM - We will begin trying next week! DH's gallbladder is acting up, so hopefully that won't cause us to miss any time. Feeling good but nervous about it. Thinking positive!

May all of us still trying be blessed with our rainbows in 2014!!!

Just looked back over old pages, 66 & 67, pictures of my positive hpt a year ago!

Where has that year gone?

 

[Oasis717]

Lol I know Lisa! I still remember you telling me there's no doubting my line on my hpt, seems so long ago now it's crazy. Must get some sleep we've been up late watching a film. Adam (dh) is 26 today! Xxxx

 

[dancareoi]

Only seems a minute since yours as well.

Wow you're a night owl! Happy birthday to Adam for yesterday

Been up the last 2 hours with Caitlin, she is really bunged up and can't breathe properly. I've covered everything in olbas oil but it doesn't seem to be working. I am sat up in bed and she is upright against my chest, asleep. Going to try putting her down again

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Lisa, oh dear poor Caitlin it's awful when they're like that, I'm surprised Brooklyn has got away with just one slight cold as dd 12 and ds 5 have been constantly ill it seems. Really hope you managed to settle her in the end xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Hope Caitlin is better soon. Bless her.

Well AF still not here but expecting her today. Hope its not going to be a 49 day cycle. I was doing well as FF put in ov but has since taken it out. Oh well. Got a feeling 2014 is going to be a good year.

Wedding I went to was really good. Lot of travelling but my mate looked so beautiful.

 

[dancareoi]

Becks she settled finally but has been so snuffly again today. She's due her second lot of jabs on Wednesday, so we'll have to see.

Jo, no idea what's going on with you but loving the PMA. 2014 is going to be a lucky year for you

Last Christmas my friend didnt send a Christmas card but sent a good luck for 2013 card, it stayed on the fireplace for the whole of 2013 (still there now) I felt it was lucky and didnt want to move it, I will take it down now, but will keep it.

Happy 2014
Sending lots of love, good luck and
best wishes your way.

This is my good luck message for you

Morning Lisa

Thank you for your good wishes. Love the pic, so cute. Yes, where does time go, bet that has flown by for you.

Wondering when AF is going to come, cramping is not so bad. Oh well, see what happens. Have a good day everyone.

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi everyone well I'm offically back to work after Christmas today good news it only for 2 more weeks before I start my maternity leave ( well with one week al added on ) We are entering the final countdown 35 weeks tommrow although I know it maybe nearly another 2 months before he arrives if I go over !

Jo you must get so frustrated with your cycles never really knowing where you are at !! Hang in there girl . 2014 is yours for the taking

How are all our 2013 rainbows doing ??? Well apart from poor Caitlin who has a stuffy nose

 

[Oasis717]

I bet you can't wait for your ml to start Regina! Brooklyn is doing amazing he's so laid back it's unreal, never cries, so contended, he's my easiest baby yet we hardly know we have him lol xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Hope your last couple of weeks at work go quick for you Regina.

Thanks. Yes it is frustrating. But onwards and upwards. You get to the point where you wish for AF so at least you are not wondering.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[crysshae]

Regina - I bet you are ready for maternity leave. It's getting so close. Are you getting excited?

Lisa - I hope Caitlin feels better very soon.

Becks - That's wonderful that Brooklyn is such a happy baby.

Jo - 2014 is gonna be great! You will have your little one before you know it. The rest of us too!

Fiona - How are you doing?

AFM - It's getting to be that time to actively try. I'm going back and forth as to whether I want to temp or just try on the usual days. I can't decide which would drive me more crazy in the TWW. Lol.

 

[Left wonderin]

Cry I always found temping really helpful especially over a period of time as it showed patterns . Also gave me a daily task so I felt I was moving closer to my goal lol ......

AFM just back from hospital apt , all seems well bp fine , baby head down and measuring to dates . Nurse did say some while blood cell in urine and shed sent it way to see if I had uti but doctor said nothing to worry about no infection just cross contamination from discharge in sample ? In other news the doc casually pops out that they will examine me at 39 weeks and see how things are but due to my age it is likley that they will look to induce me on or very shortly after my due date at 40 weeks . I won't be let go over even though all is well so far with no complications .

Came home and dr googled the reason for it . Research from 2011 now shows inducing 40+ women reduces the incidences of stillbirths by half from 2-1000 to 1-1000 . If induced prior to 41 weeks your risk of stillbirth is reduced to the same as a women in her 20s giving birth at 42 weeks ! All new to me was not information I heard before . Not sure how I feel about an induction at 40 weeks . Mmmm have to think about it .

 

[Oasis717]

I had no idea about all that Regina! I'm 42 and no one said anything to me, I had no idea, I'm glad I didn't know before that would of really worried me, something to think about for next time. Don't worry about the white blood cells I had that in the last few weeks and it was nothing, no uti, no infection nothing, just a bit of cross contamination from discharge they said xxx.

 

[josie1234]

Aw thanks Crystal. Yes, PMA will get us there and bring us our little rainbow prince and princesses. Exciting. I know what you mean sometimes you just want to take the stress away but temping is a good way of seeing what is happening (unless you have cycles like mine lol!) Good luck hun

Regina - glad things went ok at the hospital. First I've heard of that too of being induced but try not to worry (I know that is easier said than done).

Becks - glad that Brooklyn is a laid-back baby for you, nice and chilled, he must be so happy and content.

Well, I am off to bed as I am tired. Still no AF. CD 36 tomorrow.

 

[dancareoi]

Jo I think you ov'd Christmas Day, like me last year.

Caitlin still a little snuffly.

We are having her christened on 26th jan and just remembered I need to sort a cake !

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Jo, no af still? Let's hope she never arrives! xxx
Lisa dd will be 13 on the 26th Jan, we must sort out Brooklyn's christening when we get time, the weeks are flying by. Hope Caitlin is much better xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Do you think so Lisa? I do not have a clue. Still no AF. No symptoms but still got some cramping. Wish I knew what was going on. I bought some digi opk today and nearly bought some balanceactiv while I was there but didn't due to the price. This ttc is expensive business!

How is Caitlin today? Hope the snuffles are going. Shame you don't live closer Lisa, I could have made the cake. Done birthday cakes but not done a christening one yet. I am still a beginner mind. Here's a pic of the one I done recently.
