I'm still here, just very busy.... firstly will notice the "personality change" ie: change of user name (from kellyd)...
Everyone is growing very fast here, the boys are almost 7 mths old now and Liam is sooooo close to crawling and Rhys rolls all over the floor so have to be on my toes now. Tara is now 2 going on 15 and is cheeky with the odd tantrum and screaming fit thrown in for good measure.
I'm really stressing at the moment as I need to start looking to head back to work very soon which is so hard when you don't have childcare available and to get a place in a daycare centre - let alone 3 places - is near on impossible, so I need to try and find something in the evenings (yeh right). But getting back to work is a priorty as I am in some serious debt - with all the expenses associated with getting my 3 babies here - and seeing I haven't has an 'income' for 2 1/2 years I'm now living on borrowed (sorry for the pun) time. I'm going to have a chat to DH's boss at his Xmas party as she always told me to talk to her when I was looking at going back to work, I can only ask I suppose.
On another front I'm also having a dilemma about our 3 remaining embryo's and just can't bring myslef to have them destroyed as "what if"... Is it my destiny to try and see if there is another baby waiting for us or not, but htey have been on ice now for 3 years so I only have another 2 years left before my 5 years of storage finishes. DH does not want any more children but I just have this niggly feeling that I will feel like I've destroyed a little person if I let them go.
Although, why at this momemt I'm even considering another child is beyond me as I'm so busy and tired running around after the 3 I've got. It doesn't help that overall all my babies have been so go with sleeping and routines etc and we do get the odd bad day here and there but I've never had the non stop screaming baby to put me off having anymore. Oh well I suppose I still have a little bit of time to leave them on ice before I have to make a real decision either way.
Hi Mummas!! Well it's been about 10mths since I've posted, but wanted to pop in to say hello. Seems like this thread has really petered off, not like how I remember it with you bunch of chatter boxes gasbagging ALL day every day!
It's good to see you're all well, and congrats to you Lise!! Such great news :-)
My little man turns 1 tomorrow, I dare say there'll be a tear or two shed. What a journey we all go on to get here but isn't it totally worth it :-)
Congrats JBM on the arrival of your little man!!!!! and of course joining us here
My little Ellie is already 10 weeks old today she is growing sooo fast but loving every minute with her! She is now smiling and baby talking heaps which i just love and almost sleeping through the nights from 8:30-4:00 so proud of her. Id have to admit the first 6 weeks were really hard and think i may have had some baby blues as i was feeling a bit down which i was very angry at my self for because iv wanted her for so long but now im feeling great and loving being a mum so much. It's funny i believe going through this journey has made me appreciate her and love her so much more im just content with her, id be happy to just have the one but i want a sibling for her and know DH would love to try for a boy (not that we would care the slightest if it was another girl) so that's why i would try again but i think we will wait till Ellie is 1 and a half-2 i just want to enjoy her and give her her own time first.
afm: Hunter will be one week old tomorrow... wow thats gone fast. he is feeding well and sleeping well .
he has a little jaundice still and i have his carrier thing on our bed today with the sin coming thru the window on him so he doesnt look so yellow/ orange. he almost looks asian LOL. with dark hair also. LOL....
wow thats gone fast and i would have been 39 weeks today... thank goodnes he came early
he is feeding well although as i had to use nipple shields due to the grazing he gave me just after birth. now i have gone back to the breast he is fussing about a bit and i have to re- attach him several times sometimes to get him to have a full feed ?
but he is still sleeping well and i am making sure he has awake times during the day so he goes right back to sleep at night time..
i still have full breasts and i am using the brest pump once a day to just express a little so it is easier for him to feed
Hi JBM and congrats again.
Sometimes it takes a bit of time to get them off the shields. if feeding works well with them, don't stress about getting rid of them right away. Hope the nipples are feeling better soon.
well my baby will be 4 weeks tomorrow !! wow thats gone fast !!
he is such a good baby... my brests have recovered from the earlier hammering.. thank goodness for that !!
he is a very good sleeper and feeder and has grown heaps.. i will have to get him weighed tomorrow and see how fat he has gotten ... lol
he has been extra hungry over the last few days when we had 33 . 34 and 37 degrees here in brissy but seems a little more settled today. he was wanting to be fed every one to two hours ,,,
but was still sleeping 3 to 4 hours between feeds at night.
i have been tired with all the boys at home and can't wait til the other boys go back to school and i am able to have a day time nap !!!
Hi JBM - yes it has been quiet in here. I have mainly been lurking back in the LTTTC threads as I am currently PUPO! I can't believe Hunter is already over a month old - wow time goes so fast for everything except the TWW! Hope all is going well for you xxx
AFM - well as mentioned above I am indeed PUPO from a natural FET. Had a day 2, 7 cell embie transferred on Saturday 28/1/12. BT is on 10/2/12... time is dragging on so slowly! I am on pessaries for the TWW as my lining was a little thin at my last scan (although FS was almost certain it would have caught up - so really just a precaution). Only once a day 400mg. Apart from that I have had no medication this cycle - it has been very strange relying on my body to do the right thing, but it did finally ovulate on day 18 of my cycle - which is actually pretty good for me. Miss Jasmine is just awesome, fully toilet trained now and in the 3 year old kinder room (can you believe it!) at nursery. She is so grown up it is scary. She has also decided that she no longer wants a day sleep (at least 99% of the time) and it has made getting her to sleep at night so much easier. If she has a day sleep it takes up to 1 and 1/2 hours for her to go to sleep at night. If she doesn't she is asleep in 15-20 mins. Makes my life much easier - although I do sort of miss the down time during the day.
janie: i remeber this time with DS 3 specially the day sleep thing. and sometimes he just would be awake til 10 pm !!! it's sad when day sleeps stop but pretty good for almost 3 year old. wow time flies doesn't it.
yes why does the TWW take forever !!!! yet 3 years seems to have flown by >????????????? lol
PUPO
best of luck for TWW . fingers crossed and toes too ... he he he
JBM, can't believe your little man is so big already, how time flies!
Janie, Oh I hate the 2WW, you're so right, it's a time warp going extra slowly just to torture us some more. Sending heaps of sticky vibes your way and will be stalking the threads for good news Jasmine is getting so grown up! I have mixed feelings about toilet training Finn (not that we'll be doing it any time soon) because it means he's definitely growing up and getting big. Which is a good thing but where did my little baby go???
AFM, we're doing well. Finn started childcare a few weeks ago, he's still a little unsettled at times but we've had some recent success with sleeps (he wasn't sleeping there for the first couple of weeks which at 18 months was rather unfortunate!) and I think he's starting to enjoy it a bit more. Still breaks my heart having to leave him bu alas, the finances just don't stretch to me staying at home all the time. Especially with other one on the way (btw, we found out we're having another boy )
Hope everyone is doing well, love to hear how you're all going. I'll have lots of time to read/post this week as DH flew off to Moscow for work today. He just rang me to tell me he got upgraded to first class, am incredibly jealous!!!
Janie: ARE you preggers ??!!!! woohooo and yipee.... so exciting... lots of sticky vibes for you x x
lise: oh childcare ... it's harder on the mums i think. best of luck to you
hi to everyone else:
AFM: well Hunter is 8 and half weeks now and 6 kg !!! such a cute little fatty. he LOVES his milk !!!. he is doing really well . smiling heaps ... never for the camera though ? LOL
Hi JBM - yes I am - currently 4 weeks 6 days. First scan is this time next week as I am going to USA on Thursday next week - so had to bring it forward by a couple of days. Also have an OB appointment that day to see if I need to have any medication as I ended up with severe pre-eclampsia last time. Hopefully if I do it will only be something like half a aspirin a day and not the jabs - my sister had to inject herself every day of her pregnancy from 6 weeks, and they are ouchy jabs.
Very excited, but still at the stage where I don't feel particularly pregnant - not that I am wishing MS on myslef, but it is kinda comforting.
