[onthefly]

Hi Kelly and welcome over here to the other side
Gosh that's lucky about the placenta, isn't it?

Glad to hear you're going well - do shout out if you have any probs or worries. And definately let us know all about your gorgeous daughter.

Here's my first bit of advice - don't do housework!

[Shannon22]

Welcome Kelly and hueg congratulations on Tara Sounds like you had the best possible outcome for you both!

Lol i agree with Marcellus no housework! :P

Thanks for the ears the other day ladies i really appreciate it.

Oh and Marcellus huge congrats on the mod role!! Absolutely perfect fit with you and Lenny running the place we are in great hands!!

I also had the hugest scare today with the kids..went to the bathroom came back Julia is eating a dorito and then i realised they also smashed my glass and Owen was sucking on a broken peice of glass (heart attack and a half!) and then whilst i am cleaning the glass up i notice Julia is missing.... she went through the safety gate and was sitting on the back deck at the top of the stairs with the dog! I need a drink....

Hi to all.

Shan

Oh no Shannon - now I need a drink!
I know it won't make you feel any bettr, but I once found DS sucking on.... fibreglass. I don't know where it came from

Thanks - trust me, I'm not running anything

with you and Lenny running the place we are in great hands!!

LOL - running around like crazies

Hi Kelly, welcome to you and to Tara too. Hope things are settling in nicely for you.

Shan - you are a legend for coping with two toddlers. I can't imagine how hard that is. hope you are feeling a little better

Shannon, sorry to hear about your cycle..hope next one is better Your twins sound like they are having a ball distracting mum while the other gets into mischief! This week here, we have also been putting naughty things in our moouth, like Sudocream!! He thought it was fantastic, me I had a heart attack as well i think.

Marcellus, exciting news about your FET..Won't be long, christmas is around the corner, then it will be february! Just think, this time next year you could be in your third trimester.

Kelly, Congrats on the arrival of Tara Rose. Hope you are recovering well.

Big hello's to everyone else. Not much happening here...DS is like i said, experimenting with new flavours.. Sudocream, AA batteries, biro caps, Books, DVD's... DH suggested ringing the FS who did our transfer and ask if there was any well behaved embies or were they all little devils Next time he wants a good one, or a refund lol. He was describing to his brother the other day what DS is like with a favourite activity of his, which is standing on the side of the lounge grabbing the DVD's from the bookcase and hurling them across the room..He says, "Oh bro, it's like something from those Poltergeist movies, the DVD's are flying everywhere and there is this evil little giggle while we are screaming NO NO NO" It's funny, because it's so true..

Sleep is starting to slowly improve....getting about 3-4 hours, wake for a feed then anywhere up to another 5 hours after that.

Your DS sounds delightfully wicked . IT's so hard to be serious when they giggle, isn't it?
So, you planning No.3 already?

Glad the sleep is improving. We seem to have turned a corner here.... most nights he's only really waking once or twice and he actually didn't get up till 6:45 this morning, which is some sort of record compared to 5, 5:30 usually. I put alfoil on his windows yesterday - had to lock him out of his room cause he insisted on chewing on bits of foil....

Talking about #3 at the moment.. Something we have to give a little extra consideration too because our embies are about 1000 klms away from us, as well as the FS, because their satellite FS (200klms away from here) has retired. So we would have to look at possibly moving them to the other clinic closer to us...not sure I want to do that though??
Another child would mean another room, we currently don't have. With DD turning 10 next month, I think she needs her own space, and DS's room isn't big enough for another person. It's a battle of heart versus practical brain at the moment.
Far out at your wake up time of 5-5.30am! Good to hear that the alfoil seems to have done the trick with getting a a little more sleep

[onthefly]

Wow - some tricky logistics! Is the other clinic not so good, or you're just unsure about the move?

I thought about changing clinics, but it seemed a bit daunting to up sticks like that so decided to try a different FS instead. He seems ok from our first meeting, so will see how we go.

Heart vs brain - which will win...? In these matters I find it's generally the heart. You know if you have another baby, somehow or other everything will work out.

I spoke too soon about A's sleep. He's back to needing company most of the night. sigh. Maybe it's the next lot of teeth.
