Rach: I'm so sorry you Mum has had bad news. I hope she gets well super quick :comfort:
O is almost 2.5 and has 2 - 3 hour nap each day. I hope he doesn't want to drop it anytime soon because it's my relax time.
Freya: how exciting about the puppy. I love bulldogs.
Kelly: good luck with the test
BBL to finish persies
Rach: i'm so sorry to hear of your news :hug:
Mako: all the best for your appt with Dr S :hug:
As far as naps go, Sophie goes down between 12-1pm and will usually sleep for 2hrs, i dred the day she drops a day sleep altogether, it give me a chance to get things done around the house or grab a quiet shower.
AFM: I went up at lunch time to have the 2nd blood test done, the lady that took the blood today wasnt as bad as the lady i got on Monday, she even commented on the lovely bruise i had. So just need to wait until after 2pm to ring the pathology lady to see if they have my results and whether or not she can give them to me. Then i went to Target and picked up a pair of shortish leggings for $15 none of my 3/4 jeans fit right already.
Mako - All the best today. I am thinking of you
Rach - I am so so sorry that your mum is faced with this. Please keep us updated and a big hug to you
Freya - Wow a new pup. Sara is desperate for a puppy, but I am not up to the challenge of a newborn again lol
Kelly- Fingers crossed hun. I got a BFP 4 weeks after my DandC. I tested and got a BFN and then waited 2 days and got a BFP.
Bonham - All the best for your test results.
Lisa - I am so glad that your scan went well. Go the VBAC!!! I can't wait to meet all the new bubs!!!
Sequio - Thanks for the information. If you can get any other info that would be great. My doctor doesn't seem to know much about the desentisation process. I was the one that told her I wanted it done because it was recommended to me years ago by another doctor. I am so glad that your amnio results were good.
Megsmum - Happy 6 months to you little miss. I hope she starts sleeping longer again
Willow - Good on Mr L and his tt. I hope Mr D is ok and that you get some more sleep too. Eva has started doing the odd 4 or 5 hours stint at night. Day sleeps are still really really bad. Atm I can only manage to get her down for 1 sleep:wall:
Did I miss anything??? So sorry if I did. Hugs to all
Ohhhhh Bek yeah dont do the whole puppy thing til Miss Eva is older. I would have put it off just a bit longer but a unique opportunity came up and now is the time to do it before Uni gets full on so I have time to puppy train.
I had to go pick Stellan up from daycare early because he vomitted everywhere and it was phlegmy. He isnt coughing or rattly in the chest; he hasnt even got a runny nose so I have zero idea why he would be spewing phlegm. Its only started since he's been having formula at daycare. Just my luck it would be a lactose issue, although I would think he would have it even being breastfed cause I eat and drink just about everything.
Anyway enough of my rambling, he is asleep and the other lads are engrossed watching Prehistoric Park so I might get cracking on dinner. Lamb steaks, mashed potato and green vegies.
Hi guys, look, I have a avvy! Woohoo!!! I love it!
Bek - sorry to hear you sounding down. It must be so hard raising three kids - I take my hat off to you! I hope your littlies let you get more sleep soon.
mako - hope the appointment went well today. I can't wait to hear about it! Hopefully he has a perfect plan for you.
Freya - wow, not long til uni starts now!!
Jo - do you have any results yet?
rach - I am so sorry to hear about your mum sweetie. I also know a couple of people who have beaten it. Big hugs hun. When does your mum find out more?
Hi to everyone else, sorry for no more persies. Finding it hard to get time to get anything done at the moment! DS is such a good boy though - other than when he has gas and gets upset, he pretty much just eats and sleeps! He is such a darling and so far DD is the most lovely big sis. Any time he cries she calls out 'Dummy!' and goes to find his dummy and puts it in his mouth for him. She wantts to kiss and cuddle him all the time and TRIES to be gentle, although being a pretty unco toddler she rarely manages this! Mum and Dad are great - keeping DD entertained while I feed DS and we are taking it in turns to do dinner which is a wonderful break. They leave on Sun though so not sure how things will fare then!
Why do I do this to myself?? Still no AF so tested again this morning... of course it was another BFN.. which I should of expected but I'm still really upset. It would be miracle to be pg again already but somehow my stupid brain almost 'expects' it and is not very happy with the BFN. I just wish AF would hurry up and arrive so I can remove all aspects of 'hope' that I somehow still have left. God, this is going to be one very hard and tough journey! I'm so thankful that I have all of you and I'm sorry for the selfish post... I know there are much 'bigger' issues in here atm and feel really silly and selfish sometimes... so I'm really sorry for that... I'm just a little bit upset.
Thanks for understanding.

Kel - there are no bigger issues :hug: Every issue is big because it is yours - and that is how it should be!! Don't downplay how you feel because you think, in the scheme of things, it is insignificant. It isn't and it is a tough journey whether it is one cycle or ten :hug: When you want to be pregnant, nothing eases the feeling. We understand that :comfort: Vent away and let us support you xx
Kel, :hug: I think that I went through 2 boxes of hpt's this past cycle. It was such a let down when AF arrived even after a bunch of BFN's.
Don't give up all hope for this cycle just yet. I had decided that AF was on her way before Grayson. I had even decided on no more hpt's for that cycle. When AF was 2 days late I got an unexpected surprise.
Hi lovely ladies,
Sorry I haven't been around, particularly after all the wonderful support you've been giving me. I'm not quite sure what my problem is, I've come in to post a number of times, but end up not knowing what to say. And I very selfishly don't have it in me to do personals right now :redface: (although I am reading, and empathising/sharing joy with you all :)). We're going along well, bub is being active enough for everyone's liking, which is great. And I'm very excited to be technically 32 weeks (although according to my dates, that's not until Sunday or Monday). Really realising what a long way we have to go now, but I am feeling a great deal more positive than I was :). It's pretty likely that we will get to 34 weeks now, and possibly even further along, which is fantastic. But we still probably won't get our take home baby, and I think I'm struggling with that.
Anyway, enough whinging from me :lol:, just wanted to say thanks for all your support, and that I'm still here, just haven't been able to post. :hug: to all.
ETA Kelly, I'm feeling bad, that maybe I put too much pressure on you the other night about testing.........I know I warned you that I'm no help LOL, but I really hope I didn't make things harder for you. It was lovely to talk, I hope you're feeling good now that DH is home :).
Kel - Hugs sweat pea. Wow you've been through so much hun. I understand your pain and don't ever think that your challenges seem insignificant. I completely understand what you are feeling. All I can say is be kind to yourself and vent here as much as you need.
Janie - I was just thinking about you and wondering where you are. I thought that you may be just taking time out to reflex and prepare. I feel from the bottom of my gut that you'll make 34weeks. Rest up and pop in when you feel, we all love you:) Don't feel that you are being selfish either, it is important for you to take time away
Janie - Glad you are feeling more positive :hug: Make sure you take it easy I wouldn't be worrying about posting too much if I were you either, rest and take care of yourself and bub.
Kel - Stupid AF :( I had that happen a few times to me too and it is awful when you try to hold out that little bit of hope only to have her arrive :hug: I think it is only natural to want to be pg ASAP after a m/c, what you are feeling is totally normal. Its cetainly the way I felt, and I was devastated that it took so long for me to fall pg again :( I'm sure it will happen soon for you :hug:
Bek - I'm sorry to hear about your allergies, sounds awful. I hope you can find a solution to them.
Mako - I hope yesterday went OK ? :hug:
Jo - GL with the BT results today!
Bun - Love the avvy!
Hi everyone else hope you are all OK today.
Well I'm feeling a bit worried today and just need to get it out so bear with me if this is a bit jumbled. I got a call from my stepmum last night - her and my Dad are in Sydney having radiation treatment because Dad has sinus cancer :( Anyway he had to be admitted to hospital because he has had too much of his blood thinning medication, even though he took the correct dose they don't seem to know why his BTs are so high :wall: He is on them because he had a blood clot after the surgery to remove the cancer - it was fairly major surgery and he has a history of blood clotting. I'm just so worried though that because he is being looked after by so many sets of drs in Sydney and back here and no one seems to be able to give them an answer, my stepmum is no pushover but even she complained to me last night about getting fobbed off grrrrr. Not to mention how tough it is on them both being down there away from home, I think they are both absolute legends for soldiering on through this like they have. It will be so good when the next couple of weeks are over and they are finished with it all and hopefully can go back to their normal life. Anyway fingers crossed she can get some answers out of the oncologist on Monday.
Hey everyone,
well the OB appointment went well, knowing my history, the first thing he did was a scan. There was bub, heart beating away, the only thing that worried me was it wasnt moving much, just the odd jerk & a few waves of the hand, but the OB wasnt worried about that.
He looked up my results from when Finn was born & It appears that the only suspicious thing they could find was that the placenta showed signs of not having received enough oxygen, so he will be doing growth scans all the way through.
so, so far so good, will find out more at my morf scan
Hope everyone is well :)
Thanks so much guys.. I honestly don't know what I would do without every single one of you... now I'm crying again (but a good cry.. because I'm actually reminded that there are people out there that care and that know exactly what I'm going through.. it's easy to forget that)!
I just don't feel like myself atm.. I try to put on a 'happy, strong and positive' front but that's all it is and when I get home again, I feel like a bit of a wreck! I know thats normal too.. I just wish I had my Mum nearby so I could go veg at her place and get some much needed cuddles! I'm forgetting that I've had to deal with not only the recent losses but moving interstate aswell... it's tough. I'm finding it hard to not think about where I would be now.. if I hadn't of lost the baby back in August. I really need to move on from that though. I just hate feeling this way.. I miss my happy, carefree and bubbly self... I hate feeling miserable and sorry for myself, it really sucks.. and I'm trying to make friends.. they're all going to think I'm mad.
Anyway I'm rambling again now. Really just wanted to say a very big thank you from the bottom of my heart... I really couldn't get through this without you all.
Kel xxx
kelly - you really are facing a lot atm hun. It is a really big deal moving states and to endure a loss as well at the same time is really really tough. I think you are doing a great job of getting through things and I can't wait for you to get a sticky BFP! I remember also not feeling like myself after my losses and just wanting to get back to the happy person I used to be. I did get there though and you will too! It feels like it will never happen at the time, but it will and in the meantime we are here for you to 'talk' to whenever you need to.
Jo - do you have your results yet?
jlk - fantastic scan hun, that's great news!! Often bubs is just having a sleepy time so I wouldn't worry about there not being much movement during the scan. It is all sounding good and I am so pleased to hear it!!
mako - how did your appointment go? Can't wait to hear what he told you.
Janie -so glad to hear that bubs is doing so well. Sounds like he/she may be staying in there a little longer which is great news!
Well I just had Josh's check up and he is a little porker! Is putting on around 400g a week! I think I can actually SEE him growing it is happening so fast. I am pleased that he is doing so well but I also want him to stay my little baby and at this rate he will be all grown up soon! Sniff sniff.
Ugh Stellan has tonsilitis *sigh* Right before I start Uni too. The Gp assured me he would be ok by tuesday to go to daycare but I have to have a letter stating that before I can soooooooo now Ry will have to get monday off work to watch them and take him to the GP so I can get the letter. Seems thats why he is vomitting mucous and stuff.
Anywho better go do some more packing and tidying for the house viewing tomorrow.
Kelly :hug: if its important to you its important to us!
Bun WOOHOO on J's growth. That is a fantastic effort :clap:
Freya Poor Stellan. I hope the A/B's kick in soon and he's feeling much better. All the best for Tuesday too. Can't wait to hear all about it.
jlk Fantastic news on your appointment. How far along are you?
Jo Any news yet?
Kelly :hug: to you hun. I could have written that post many times now too since my last m/c. I also felt the need to test around the 4 week mark but for me AF arrived 5 weeks to the day. My cycles are usually between 4 and 5 weeks now and have been since they came back after having DS.
I wish I was closer to you to give you a RL hug.
Rach How are you doing today? I don't have any wise words but want you to know I'm here if you ever want to chat or sit and cry or whatever you feel the need to do :hug:
Megsmum OMG I'm sorry to hear your Dad is having treatment for cancer. I hope everything works out perfectly for him :hug:
Janie I'm so happy you've made it to 32 weeks. Bring on 34 I say. Please don't feel bad for not posting. You have far more important things to worry about ;)
Willow How is D? I hope he didn't end up getting a cold.
Michelle Thanks again for the messages yesterday. I love your ticker too btw.
Sorry I didn't log on last night but I came home and was exhausted and had/ have a terrible headache. I can't say too much just yet but the appointment was ok. He's ordered some b/ts and I have to go back to see him again in a month. I'll fill you all in once I've spoken to DH.
P.S Sydney girls......I'm coming down to Kogorah(sp) on Monday for a b/t and was hoping we might be able to catch up. I know its short notice and all but I'm willing to travel to wherever suits if you are interested..Just let me know :)
Mako - Glad to hear the appointment went well and will look forward to hearing all about it. I've been wondering how it went!!
Jo - Am also getting very worried about you.. have you got your results yet.. I'm praying for some more good news... please let us know what's going on!!
Freya - Oh no.. tonsilitis.. poor thing! Why do things like this always happen at the worst possible time! All the best for Monday too.. in case I forget to say it over the weekend!
Bun - Glad your little man is chubbing up!! Great news.
Sorry again for the lack of personals.. I'm just not in the right head space right now. Well.. it's definitely all over this month (I don't know why I'm surprised).. AF is definitely on the way now.. which in turn of course means more tears. Thankfully DS is asleep. Why can't this one thing just happen for me NOW! To make it worse, I just looked up the dates for next cycle.. based on AF arriving tomorrow.. which it will... and O day is of course while DH is away (he's away for 4 days early in March). Wonderful.. there goes another month.. then we'll be looking at a Christmas baby, which I really wanted to avoid.. we have big plans to go back to Perth for Christmas, seen as we weren't with our family last Christmas. I'm not a happy camper. I really NEEDED it to happen now... why couldn't it happen now...
