Donor Conception General Chatter #8

[SD2001]

QLD was great. Lots of sun and warm weather. Yay! Now I am asking myself why on earth I came back to Sydney.

Blizz, I didn't see any whales but the sharks and dolphins at Seaworld were great.

Tarkine, thanks, yes we had a great time in QLD. Also glad to hear that you appreciate the generosity of your donor.

Gargy, no offence was taken regarding your interrogative questions. I am happy to answer general questions in this public forum, but I prefer to answer personal questions via email or a private forum. It is not that I do not wish to answer personal questions but more that this is a public forum and thus quite literally anyone can read what we write. In any case, if you ask me a question then I'll answer as best I can. From my point of view, I am interested in finding out the thoughts and experiences of recipient families in their journey to have a family.

Unfortunately for me, this website will not allow me to use PM's.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

"Blizz, I didn't see any whales but the sharks and dolphins at Seaworld were great."- no you wouldn't have seen any on the beach......... I stayed home!!!!...though I think I may have progressed to blue whale status.


nothing new here...have a completed laundry as of this morning (no renno mess around new bubba...double yay!!!!)
will post before and after shots ...now


Bubba has a nearly completed possy (will post a picture when I have finished it completely if I am brave enough) DH built me a small storage cupboard so we now have some where to put bubbas things

Have been to a friends baby shower today which was fun


VERY UNCOMFORTABLE HERE!!!!!! glad to be on the count down finallly.

DD broke her uncles nose playing 'stacks on' with her cousins, she fell forward and hit the bridge of his nose with her front teeth taking a fair gash out of it, he later informed me that it was broken it was such a hard hit I thought she may have broken her teeth but no uncle came out worst for ware.
I felt a little bad that I had insisted that he let DD put a captin feathersword band aid on his nose because she was feeling bad about it (probably hurt a fair bit)

will catch up more tomorrow night DH goes back on to night shift.
he is sooooo going to be at work when I go in to labour isn't he?????

Blizz,

Ouchies to DD's uncle's nose!

about the uncomfortable feelings...thinking of you.

Take care.

Blizz... isn't that how murphy's law works? with DH being away at work - although you never know all the best hun..I'm thinking of you and your family... Also got my fingers crossed that DH is at home when Angus arrives. Looking forward to the msg from Gargy. Take care sweetie.

[Caramello]

I thought the same too Tarkine - definitely Murphy's Law!

Not much to report here - had a sloth day all day - started puregon tonight, that's about it really.

Hi to all!

[blizz]

evening all,
feeling a little lost and lonely DH has started back on night shift tonight Paige has gone to bed early so I am at a bit of a loose end.
Rang my brother and his family to come down for tea but they had other plans then rang mum and dad and they were too busy too and will come to tea on Tuesday instead so I am having my own hormonal pity party at the moment but that's OK as I really should have an earlyish night as I haven't been sleeping very well and I guess I am about to be sleeping a whole lot less shortly.
Just hoping that my labour won't reduce by too much time as DD was 8 hours from woe to go and we have DH's sister driving through from Hobart (about 3-4 hours away) at a moments notice and DH will take about an hour to get out from underground and 2 hours driving to get home to me.
Anything could happen at this stage I guess I have stand in's organised in the mean time so I won't be doing it alone at any point.


Gargy yowie on the Puregon - hope you don't bruise yourself like I did with it.
Paige will send you a captin feathersword bandaid for your ouchies if you like (like the one we stuck over my poor brothers broken nose!!!)

Hi to everyone else...we seem to have gone a little quiet in here of late but we all have a fair bit going on I guess hope we are all still truckin' along OK??

Love to you all
Allie.B aka Blue whale!!!

Nothing wrong with Blue Whales. They are very majestic creatures!!!

Sun and sand sound great!

I agree. If only we didn't have to work ...

Thanks.

Gargy - yay on the Puregon! in my experience things seem to fly by from this point. I hope it is the same for you. Good luck sweets. Let us know if any hand holding is needed.

Alllie - hun you sounded so lonely and hormonal last night. Lets hope you wont need any stand ins. I am so excited for you. Not too long now.

Hello everyone

I should have beforehand but luckily I checked my cycle sheet and last night was my last Pill after almost 6 weeks on the active ingredient. AF has been breaking through for weeks now. So annoying, can't wait to get her proper and get rid of her.

At home with a tummy bug today. So am going to read in bed and rest up.

[SD2001]

Hi Dusty.

[Malyna]

**pacing around the room, waiting for Angus to make his arrival**.

Blizz hun - take care of yourself... I promise I'll try and be more patient!!

Hi everyone all round

[blizz]

Sorry hon no signs of arrival any time soon so aunty Tarkine will have to cool her heels got a feeling we're headed in to the november birth dates, although I thought halloween would make a cool birthdate so I haven't lost hope yet!!!!

well we had rissoles and vegies for tea fed mum, dad Paige and myself it's sooo much nicer cooking for a few people rather than just the 2 of us (well 1.5 if you go off how much Paige eats!!!)
Can't help wishing that mum would come down and cook for me or help me to clean house, or go baby shopping it's funny how much I miss this but it isn't to be not for me with Paige or with this bubba.
she can't help it and I don't resent her for it anywhere as much as I did with Paige, now we know that it is a mental condition connected with dimensia and not just mum being self centered.
At least I know that they have both had a good healthy meal as I am afraid mum has lost touch a little with the appropriate times for storing foods and I am scared to think of what meals they have been eating,( they sat down to ham and cheese toasties made with 3 week old ham!!! ands mum ate hers just to spite everyone saying "there's nothing wrong with it it's beautiful..."but she'd served them uo to my brother, his two children(including the one with CF) and dad.
I even snuck three doggy bag meals home with dad tonight under the guise that "I just couldn't fit them in my freezer and would hate to see them go to waste"

I was nearly crashed in too this afternoon I was sitting at an intersection at a red light when this white 4 wheel drivey thing did a dukes of hazzard around the corner and there was literally nothing I could do to avoid it with out putting myself and others at furthur risk...He managed to make it around the corner JUST!!!!!!( I had braced myself for impact and was trying to reach around to paige It is a horrible feeling to be so powerless....all I could think of were my babies, we have just moved Paiges car seat behind the drivers seat so he would have slid straight in to Paige , me and Bubba, I sat at the intersection for about a minute trying to compose myself and restart my heart...Paige kept asking "what's the matter mumma?" over and over again
wouldn't have been at all suprised for my contractions to start immediately as I was sooooo freaked out....but we are all OK just a little shocked and shaken.
well I should go and right the chaos in the kitchen but I am thinking that I may watch a little telly and toddle off to bed instead
