    Hi girls,

    Congratlulations Ellie on the arrival of your second DD!! Well done hun! Enjoy this special time.

    Mummyof4, I'm so sorry to hear of the stress you're going through ATM. I really hope the bleeding stops very soon so you can feel a bit better. Big hugs!

    CharlieB, Cam's oral thrush is much better now. He is so much more settled which is great. GL with your dating scan hun, I'm sure you'll see that beautiful heart beat very soon!

    Cmeglles, welcome sweetie!! So glad you could join the wonderful ladies in here

    Girls, reading through your posts it breaks my heart that you're feeling so anxious going through your pg. I remember what it was like for me, sometimes it was pretty stressful. But I hung in there, and I know that you will get there too. Take one day at a time, and every day remind yourself how well you are doing, and how truly blessed you are to have those precious bubbas in your bellies. Make every day special, and try to enjoy your pg as hard as it is to do. When the bubbas arrive, you'll miss your bellies and the little kiscks and hiccups!! You can do it girls, I know you can. Thinking of you all and sending you massive hugs.

    Congrats Ellie - I can never ever guess a boy or a girl in advance....

    Beata - Such wise words sweetie. Thankyou! I try to put that very mantra into practise, but not always as successful as I would hope...Glad Cameron's oral thrush is clearing up. I think it's a marvel that he is now 8 weeks old, and still so handsome Give the cheeky monkey a big hug!

    Charli - can't wait to hear.....

    Laney - same for you - 17th tomorrow.... hope you are excited and not too anxious......

    Hi everyone,

    Ellie - thanks for popping in, I'm so happy to hear that things are going well, two beautiful daughters, how divine! Enjoy the bliss!!

    Laney - was thinking of you today, hope the scan bought nothing but good news.


    Beata - thank you so much for your post the advice was really helpful. Glad to hear that Cam has settled.

    KAM - how are you feeling? did you mention you have a scan tomorrow as well? Good luck!!

    Mo4 - hope the bleeding has settled down and things are ging well xx

    Dory - hope you're feeling well and enjoying all the resting! How did the Feliway go? Hope it's been drier around your house!!

    cmeglles - still lurking around? hope the little bean is behaving for now, pop in and let us know?

    AFM - scan is Wednesday. Terrified. Can't believe how much I took for granted last time. It's funny but I though that everything would feel a bit better after my BFP, instead it seems to have bought everything that happened with my beautiful angel right back up to the surface. Hopefully seeing a little bean with a healthy heartbeat will help!!

    Take care
    xx

    Hi Everyone! Thanks for thinking of me!

    Everything looked good today. Baby was measuring big! Looks like baby is going to be a boy, not 100% positive yet. This is the time that we found out that Grayson was a boy though. I have my next scan on June 14th. I feel like I am going to be a nervous wreck for that one. I was already in tears on the way to this scan. One day at a time.

    Charlie, good luck with your scan hun. It is going to be a long road to your 20 week scan. I hope at that point you are able to relax a tiny bit and enjoy being pregnant.

    Ellie, you sound so happy! Congratulations again hun.

    mo4, I hope that you are doing okay and that the bleeding has stopped. Pop in and let us know how you are.

    Beata, thank you for your kind words. I hope that things are getting a tiny bit easier for you and that you are getting more sleep.

    dory, how are you doing?

    Hi to every one else...bbl

    Laney - awesome! I am so happy for you. Ah a little mystery for you still about whether you have a pink or blue bundle! I know all too well your anxiety. I was pretty anxious too before each scan, and only realised just how much so, by the fact I had a nervous tum beforehand, and by just how much I cried and felt relieved at the end. I also get pretty anxious before every obstetrician's appointment - I have an appointment at least every two weeks, so I get some real peaks in my anxiety levels regularly! And I even like my obstetrician and the appointments are comfortable. Crazy times. 14 June seems so close! But I know for you each day probably feels like an eternity.

    Mo4 - how are you doing? Thinking of you and sending you lots of love & hugs.

    Cemgelles - how are you doing? You must be 6 weeks by now? I still think of you as berumda girl.... I know that's cheeky.

    Charli - You might surprise yourself and get the courage up before week 30! I never thought I would actually ever do it, but finally realised I also needed to try to embrace the present and not be too scared of it. But it was pretty difficult and it took me over 6 weeks from the time I first became open to the idea to the time I actually put it into effect. When is your scan? I can't remember... Has Crumpet dropped by in here at all?

    Beata - how are you and your gorgeous boy doing?

    Hiya to anyone I have missed. I am feeling a little spaced out today.

    Not much doing here. A friend who has going to visit today has cancelled because she is not feeling well. It's nice to be thought of, but I was looking forwawrd to cathcing up. Oh well next week... Tomorrow will be a milestone for me. I am very excited actually and not yet as nervous as I expected. I have a good feeling about this journey today..... Take care all. Be strong, one day at a time.

    CharlieB - Thanks for asking, I guess I'm ok, as good as can be expected at least, and your right I did mention I had a scan today. A fetal growth and wellbeing U/S and as fair as they could see everything looked ok. She has a heart rate of 130 today and is still measuring big (by 5 days this time) and didn't like being poked by the U/S thingy, she kept kicking it back lol. Good Luck with your U/S tomorrow.

    Laney - I'm glad to hear you're U/S went well, not long until your next one either.

    dory - aren't the good days just extra good, I hope your enjoying that good feeling. I hope I don't offend by asking but what milestone is tomorrow? Is this baby going to be the same age as Amelia tomorrow?

    As I mentioned above I had a U/S today and even though everything was fine I keep thinking it only takes one day, hell probably not even that long, for something to go wrong. One day Isabel was fine the next day she was gone, how do I know this baby is still going to be ok tomorrow? It scares me so much.

    Big waves and belly rubs to everyone else.

    hi all, i'm popping in to to say sorry for being MIA since my last meltdown, but its been a bit crazy on the homefront. hi to all the newbies, i'm so sorry and devastated to read of your losses, but just getting to this point and conceiving again is one huge step, you'll be making your angels so proud.

    i'll try and do some catch up personals in the next few days but just wanted to say
    ellie, congrats on the arrival of your dd, you did it hon, both your little princesses are here, big hugs to you, i hope we all take some positivity from your successful journey
    wow laney, look at your ticker fly, 14 weeks already wow you go girl,
    laney, thinking of you as you reach your milestone, you are doing so well, one foot in front of the other, your getting closer to bringing that baby home.
    jlk here for you if you need me, you have my number if you want to chat.
    charlieb, great news on your scan and seeing little ones heartbeat, grow stronger little one.
    kam, i feel your fears, nothing can tell us its going to be ok, but just do what you can to get yourself through, my mantra in my first subs pg was to not focus on the end or what can go wrong, but to do something each day to get me to the good outcome. i am just coming up to the week i lost my first and i am going to do something every day to look after myself and get this boy here, i have a massage booked and a few other things to keep me busy.
    starbright, welcome back, i've missed you , can you send your mum down to my place in a few weeks, she might come in handy lol

    afm, its official we have sold our house, settling on this bubs due date (oh ohhhhhhh) and purchased a new place which is in the country on 10 acres. just hoping my ob goes with his plan of induction at 38 weeks, but wont know til 37 weeks when he's booking me in for. the new place doesn't settle til end of july so we have to crash with my parents for five weeks but thats ok, hoping mum wont mind hleping me out with the hopeful new arrival. i've calmed down a little since my last meltdown, just focusing on my next growth scan next thursday and hoping this boy has grown a bit more, people have been commenting that i've grown in the last few weeks but i can't see it, but i really hope this boy has. i've had two ctg's since i last posted and they were great, thank goodness we'll have one each week for the next few weeks. i've finally finished work and am taking this week to catch up and rest up before i tackle packing the house up for a move. anyway sorry for my babbling i'll try but just wanted to pop in and say hello and bellyrubs to all
