    Good morning girls (Afternoon for most of you!)

    sorry for lack of personals, i'm quite sick atm, stupid flu!

    RE naps, Brendan just about always slept until he was about 6 months old even now at 19.5 months he still has 2 naps, if I let him 3 naps day.

    I've uploaded some pics to my gallery of Brendan with his Prem Doll. The doll cost me a fair bit but so worth it. It shows just how little he was. It's made to his birth measurements of 1545gms (3lb 6oz) 40.5cm long and a HC of 28cms.

    Hope you all have a good day.

    Hello heidi_jeschke and welcome.

    I can't remember Alyssa's naps but she def doesnt have one anymore, lol. Even though some days i wish she would so i could.hehe

    Taegz- i know i should be resting but my bathroom was so gross and trav is both hopeless and useless when it comes to that stuff, his version of cleaning would be wiping it quickly. lol. Good that i got it done though, now i can sit back and relax.

    Allioops- GL with the scan, how many eh?? maybe more than one, thats a scary thought, one is so enough for me at a time, although ppl who have twins say its easier with two.

    Trini- Yay, not long to go for either of us, how you doing/feeling?

    Hollye- Hope you feel better, would be nice is bubs decided to come early, she is technically considered full term. GL and i'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

    Sally- The flu sucks, i hope you feel better soon, how cute, a life size premy doll, its bigger than i thought but still so small.

    Alyssa is being a ferrel atm, im ignoring her, she was sick again last night and cried for over an hour cause her tummy was sore, it broke my heart and the panadol wasnt helping. She's all better now though, back to her lil devil of a self. lol.

    Well my ribs are sore, Charli thinking they make a nice kick toy so im gonna go lye down and watch some tv.
    Enjoy the rest of your day ladies.

    Taegan, Douglas is right near the huge barracks up here. We are on the other side of Townsville, which is only 20 minute drive from the barracks (they have decent speed limits up here! only the backstreets are 50!)

    Bloods all done, waiting for DH to get home so I know when he is available to be there for the girls while I have the scan. Follow up appointment booked with the Dr too!

    Fraternal twins (the ones that are influenced by the mother) havent skipped a generation in my family for hundreds of years so that is why we need to check how many are there.

    Kirra - yeah i am good but my BH have been shocking lately & nothing is helping them or making them go away..they come at the worst times & stay forever i have also been having back pain which is a pain in the a$$ but it only comes & goes! besides that everything is good i cant believe how quick it has all gone!

    Sal - i hope you recover from the flu really quick as i know how sucky it can be *hugs*

    Holly - i hope bubs comes soon so you can meet her & give her a massive hug

    Ali - good luck with your test results

    not much is happening here..DF is on his way to QLD now so i should hear from him soon my little brother is going to stay with me & keep me company which will be good as i dont like the idea of being home alone in our new house as im not used to it just yet! slowly unpacking everything but still loads to do but we need to find some wardrobes as we didnt realise the house didnt come with any when we applied for it but thats not a huge deal to us

    was back to the hospital this morning for another CTG. Was on it for 20 or so minutes and had 4 contractions.. so now just more waiting. busy day today and my feet and ankles have paid for it. Thats one thing i wanted to ask Bianca when she pops in again. How soon after she had cooper did the swelling go down? becasue its so bad the docs say it can still take 6 months after bubs born, im hoping thats not the case!!!

    Hi Everyone! I thought i'd drop a note and become a bit of a stalker of this group!
    I'm 20 & DF is 21 and I'm 10 weeks pregnant with #1 + mother to 1 furbaby ^^;! I live about 2 hours from perth... Seems everyone here is meeting their little bubs already! How exciting!

    Trini- i have to say im luckily enough that i dont get BH very often or if i do i certainly dont feel them, i got them once with alyssa and it was the day before i had her (only 8 hours before my labour and contractions started) but i remember it did hurt. Yesterday i got a couple but nothing that was too bad, Alyssa was a breeze to be pregnant with, Charli on the other hand thinks im a punching/kicking bag and doesnt stop, not that i dont love it cause i do, im so gonna miss being pregnant and feeling her move and kick when she comes out

    Hollye- Hope everything is ok, just remember to try and relax, sometimes being nervous and stuff can slow labour down. My fingers are crossed everything goes well for you.
    P.s- Bianca was in the young couples meet-ups so maybe try in there and ask.

    Welcome to the newbies & welcome back to the oldies

    Sally: i've seen the photos of Brendan & his premie doll elsewhere and it really shows how far hes come you have an amazing little man.

    Ali: good luck for your blood results & your scan. We went to Townsville in August to visit 1 of Chris' brothers & his family, they live at Burdell. I liked it up there but not sure i could live there i'm not a fan of the heat.

    Trini: sorry to hear of your DF loss {HUGS}

    With regards to naps & how many, Sophie use to have 3 or 4 but these days will usually have 2 naps a day & depending how long they are she might have a 3rd nap between dinner & bed. She sleeps through the night no matter how long her naps are or how many she has.

    Melb girls enjoy your meet up

    Hi there - Hollye has just given birth to a beautiful little girl after 2 years of TTC.
    She has PCOS and conceived on her first cycle of Clomid, so the story is a little different, but she may be able to offer you some support.
    Once you have 25 posts you will be able to PM and she will be able to PM you and so on.

    LizJessies has been TTC for a while as well but not sure how long, and I think BrendansMum was TTC Brendan for 18 months (from memory).

    You will find BB to be a great source of support. Feel freee to post in the LTTTC threads as regardless of age the women are all so supportive.

    Big hugs to you, praying your IVF journey is a short.

    M2M, a blighted ovum is fertilisation and implantation that indicates pregnancy but the embryo fails to develop (I think, please correct me if I'm wrong 21&TTC).
