Jude, sending you a hug as it sounds like you have way too much to cope with at the moment. I hope you get some good news soon. I have only had vag scans at that early stage as they can never pick up anything abdominally until I am around 12 or so weeks (I have an inverted uterus). Can you ask for another scan just to put your mind at ease?
Dory, it sounds like you remembered your baby girl in the perfect way. There is never an easy way to work out what to do on those days, but I think it helps to just go with what feels right. It sounds like you and your DH expressed the love you have for your daughter in a beautiful way.
Klee, I am also glad your boys helped you through a tough day. It is always a bit easier when you can hug your kids to make things seem a bit better. How did your day go yesterday?
Laney, so the 2 week wait starts in 3 days. I hope it passes quickly. The waiting is always so hard. I think it is totally understandable that you find TTC difficult. It is so hard to find time for TTC when sleep seems so appealing. Poor DH was hoping for plenty of practise and I think we fell pregnant the first cycle. In fact my cycle was obviously all over the place as it turns out I conceived 3 weeks earlier than I had thought. I even had a period after I fell pregnant (which is why I got my dates wrong). I am glad I didn't think I was pregnant as I would have assumed I was having an ms.
All is well here. The baby is a kicker and is head down (was head down from 26 weeks just like Anna). I had a dream last night that my breasts started leaking milk, thankfully that has not happened yet. Have I told you all that we are having a boy? It is a secret to the general public but you all have the right to know. We are very excited by this news. I had secretly always worried that maybe I would not get to have another boy after Nathaniel, so this has really been a great joy to us.
Hi to everyone, and I hope you are all having peaceful and stress free days.
Judy... a friend of mine had twins that were a week apart in age!! She ovulated twice- and being a "normal" pregnant person didnt have a scan until the 12 weeks mark- and one twin measured a week behind the other- and stayed that way right till the end! I dont know any comforting numbers stories to tell you- but i think your sonographer is a jerk- with your history she should have done all she could do establish what was going on with egg b... it is not too difficult to do a trans vaginal.
I hope that both your little bubbas are sticky xoxo
Laney... LOL i think we were same ttc- with a lil boy who loved to be in our bed and dh working alot and me just generally being tired- we definately didnt bed as much as he would have hoped!! But i must say - it must be something about being pregnant with a girl- coz i am alot more randy this time than i was when pregnant with Shane- and from memory i was the same with Zahra!! And our lil boy has learned to sleep all night in his bed!!
Katie.... Congrats on a little boy- we are keeping the gender quiet in public too (well facebook basically) but only because some of our family want a surprise- if anyone wants to know they just have to ask and we will tell. That is crazy that you got an AF after you were actually pregnant!! Your right if you had known you would have freaked out for sure!!!
Klee.... I saw you in some lovely photos!!! Your bump is looking very impressive!! (not as big as mine though!! ) I hope you had a great day with your friend and that she has many many many more happy days to come!!!
Oh and do you mean to say that you will be passing on some clothes that are "pink"? Like ones you had for Phoebe??? Or do you plan on going out and buying me lots??!! If they are your angels clothes i would be sooo humbled and honored to accept them, and please dont feel you have to xoxoxo
jlk.... Sorry i disapeared the other day while we were chatting!! I got stuck being a bed for Shane!! I hope all is going ok with you- rest up and take care!!
AFM... All is going well here- feeling movements a bit more which is nice- she seems to move more at night once i stop and sit down and relax. So far i am feeling really good- excep tthe muscles in the top of my legs (like the VERY TOP- but not exactly UP THERE IYKWIM) feel really tender. Its a bit hard to explain- but i guess you could say they are sore.. it has felt like this for awhile- at first i thought it was from DTD.. lol so i didnt do it again for awhile, but it still feels tender. I am not too worried coz its def not in the tummy- or even as high up to make me feel its cervix or contraction related.. its just kinda weird. i will mention it to the Dr next time i see him- its just that i dont remember feeling it with any of my other pregnancies. Mind you - i wasnt getting up and down off the floor as often in any of my pregnancies, so it could have something to do with it too!!!
Hi everyone
Have read but crazy here ...so sorry no personals...DH has been away and I am STUFFED...just wanted to give everyone a big HUG...wonderful that it's chatty in here again.
Try to get on tomorrow to catch up properly xxx
Ellie, hope things calm down for you. I always say that my DH doesn't help me enough but when he is away I realize how much he really does help.
StarBright, I know the muscle pain that you are "talking" about. I had it pretty bad with Grayson. It started to migrate "up there" as time went on Later on it felt like a sharp pain in the sides of my vagina TMI sorry. I was in tears at one point but my doctor told me that everything was fine. Nothing really helped it except taking it easy. I know that you really can't do that.
Katiegirl, I had a feeling that you were having a boy. Congratulations and great to hear that he gives you some good kicks. I often feel like I will never be blessed with another little girl. I really really want one but I would be happy with another healthy boy. I have kept all of the little pink things that people gave me for Shelby. I just haven't been able to part with them. I thought about giving them away a few times but I didn't know how someone would feel about my angels clothes.
dory - your day to remember your angel sounded beautiful, a day for you and dh to remember your beautiful girl, just the way you wanted, hugs. i hear you on the being scared to DTD, i'm the same, we call it the scrabble club lol, why dtd when you can play scrabble, no chance of harm, except for possibly spelling the word lol. so welcome to the scrabble club
angelicdragon - hugs to you, sounds like a lot of confusion for you that you could easily have been without had they done an internal. is there anywhere else you can go? or will you just go back next week and see? i had an internal one with this bub which found h/b and measured 6w 1day, i had roughly calculated i should have been 6 week 6 days, but at the 12 week mark it had caught up and measured right on the higher size, so i guess really yours would be about the same roughly 5 days behind in size, so its possible its ok. keep us updated on how you go.
katiegirl - congrats on the boy, thats beautiful news. keep kicking little boy, have you found a name? i had those same feelings, when i had my scan this time and found out it was another boy, i was at first upset, having lost phoebe, and this most likely being our last, i probably wont get that chance to raise a girl, but then a couple of minutes went by and i thought to myself why get upset, if you get to hold another boy and he's healthy and as beautiful as his brother is then i'll be blessed. had a nice day the other day hope you've got to check out the beautiful girls photos on fb, hoping to get a cuddle of her next week.
sb - no not phoebe's things, i will be spoiling your little girl thats all, we didn't know we were having a girl so i didn't have many things. i know the pain you mean too, especially first thing in teh morning when i'm going to the toilet lol. thanks for the photo comments, i got a few comments from people who saw me with j, who said i looked lovely and i was like awwwwww, it helps when you have a special beautiful little girl in front of you .
laney - i can sympathise with you on the dtd, i really don't know how we fell pg this time, our little munchkin sleeps with us most nights, but remember it only takes once and if the times right, the times right . we weren't trying though, i had only had one af after finishing b/f so really didn't know what was going on and i think we dtd twice that month and it happened, so good luck, not long to wait now for this month, fingers crossed
ellie - welcome back
afm - this week is a better week, nothing really to complain about which is good, this bubs is really only a night mover too, feels so funny, cause the other two used to move a lot during the day, i guess its a little like you sb in that when i get teh chance to rest he starts. not much else to say, but belly rubs to all
jlk - great to see you here again, is it your scan next week? remember to let us know how you go. my mum has a magnet on her fridge which says ewws not fat, ewwws just fluffy, so for you today we can just say ewwws not huge, ewwws just fluffy . thinking of you
) I hope you had a great day with your friend 
and that she has many many many more happy days to come!!!
