Hello again,
awww, your comments were so sweet, there were most definitely tears! I also made a friend up the road cry, an old hardened mum and grandma, she was so upset for us. I put Jasmine straight in the car and turned up at her house right as tea was on the table and said how can you be sad when we are all so happy? She loved it and was surprised at how well she is after first seeing the wee little thing in hospital.
can you please let me know if anyone is able to view a few of my pics on face book? You shouldn't have to be a face book user to view on the link we used, so smithy you should be good to view (I hope so, you'll love her).
I've been meaning to do this for ages but have finally pinned DH down to do it for me. Hope you can see my photos. It takes ages to upload them onto face book and as you can see I barely use face book so I'll post more later if you are interested. xoxo
awwww murph i could see the pics and oh my goodness jazzy is just so beautiful im melting here rite now .
you have done so well my friend and thank you for letting us have a look at your beautyyou were rite I LOVE HER LOL.
Murph: Oh you gorgeous thing! You are so strong it's an inspiration! Jazzy will be just fine and is very lucky to have the two of you as her parents! By the way she is a very cute & tiny little poppet! Love the photos! I'm glad you ended up in Mossman, seems like it was the perfect place to be in the end.
Bella: WOOHOO!!! 8 more sleeps max! Man when I get to your point I'm gonna go insane LOL. Glad you stood up for yourself ansd finally got taken seriously! Wishing you a smooth and trouble-free delivery.
Grub: Yes I'm booked in for the b/f classes already but thanks for the tip. Glad to hear you got something out of it! So what's the countdown now til DH gets home?
lilmisshavachat: oh sorry to laugh but you just gave me the giggles. As if with IVF etc we don't have enough to explain to people but now you have to add your poo habits LOL. Just for good measure though, I would have hidden the sorting implements & when you came out of the bathroom, tried to shake hands with them, just to stir them up hahaha the looks on their faces would have been priceless.
Saph: Oh dear... that bored??? Well I guess on the bright side it must mean Campbell is being a good boy!
Haven't had a post from our friend Harry lately, she must be too busy making up for lost time with DH LOL
to everyone else! Hope you're all away nicely!
AFM: Not much happening here. Yesterday was DH's birthday and I deliberately arranged to have our 20wk scan then as a little "present" for him. Well it worked a treat! "Best birthday ever!" he said last night! Cookie is all good, albeit stubborn. The little bugger has refused at every scan to let us see his/her face, curls up in a little ball with back to us every time we try. But the rest of the time was having a ball in there... swinging off the umbilical cord!!! The sonographer was almost falling off her chair laughing, said she'd never seen that before. We're now measuring 2 days larger than original EDD (although we're not changing dates), which is fantastic considering that at our 7 week scan we were almost a week behind.
So all that being said... 20 WEEKS TODAY!!!! (except my stupid ticker still keeps mucking up!)
I am so happy, I honestly never thought we'd make it this far, and I know it's all a downhill run from here. Everyone's telling me the last 20 weeks will fly! I hope so. Can't wait til my baby shower, I've had 3 different people asking if they can throw one for me, so I've just told them to put their heads together and go for it! Awww way to feel loved! I went into Toys R Us/Babies R Us the other day and started a registry for everything I have left to get. Got a nice little goodie bag too, and we sat at the table that night and went gaga over the teeny newborn-sized bottles. It's soooo great seeing DH so genuinely happy & excited it just makes me melt every day. He's not a man that gets excited over anything so it makes it extra special. Every time he talks about Cookie his chest puffs up with pride! So cute!
Oh Murph, Jasmine is so very lucky to have a loving and supportive Mummy and Daddy.
Tears of love roll down my face on your sweet words for the love of your beautiful girl.
You and your DH will do whatever is needed for Jasmine and know that we are fortunate to live in this country where so many medical things can be done when needed.
Enjoy these early days as Janie said they fly so fast and soon you too will be waking up to a toddler and chasing her around.
Sending you a cyber not in sadness but in your love and strength.
BTW, your little Miss is soooo cute!!! Gosh they grow so fast
Murph- Jasmine is absolutely gorgeous! Your time in Mossman sounds lovely. Just the sort of thing you need after clinical hospitals. I hear you about the boobs. After IVF and years of gynae investigations every Tom, **** and Harry has seen 'down below' but the boobs have been my last bastion of modesty!!! I am inspired also by you with your attitude about Jasmine's hearing. Everything is going to be just fine...Big hugs!
Boc - Great news about the scan...so did you see any telltale gender signs accidentally? I know you don't want to know but did you accidentally sneak a peek? LOL! You sound like you have some great friends around you too organising you a baby shower. Enjoy!!!
Bella - wow only eight days!!! Good luck!
Grub - Oh dear! Glad everything is Ok with bubs but hope you were not hurt too much in the fall. Sometimes the shock of falling is bad enough! We just are not prepared for it as adults!
Everyone else Belly rubs!!!!
AFM - Scan in two days!! Hopefully we get the nice sonographer again as she will let us take our time looking. The last one only looked for his face because I asked her to as she had finished the scan in two seconds flat. I see the midwife tomorrow so will ask her about this pubic bone pain. Kills to turn over in bed and get up or do anything really that involves lifting my knees. It is not actually at the front of the pubic area but (TMI sorry!!!) underneath each side of my vulva IYKWIM.
Busy couple of weeks ahead...We go up to Manchester to visit DH's parents. I am hoping there might be a big box of nappies waiting for us there! Or the money to order them off the net! It is the only thing we have asked for so I don't feel too bad.
Then my friend from London is bringing her new boyfriend to meet us. We have had to put the moses basket in the guest room temporarily so we have to remember to take it out before they come. She is hoping to settle down and have babies soon and I am not sure how far their negotiations have got in that way so I don't want to look like we are dropping big hints to the new boyfriend!!! No pressure at all!!!
Then my Dad is coming (ALONE!!!!) and then my brother. Then I think it might almost be time for me to have a baby! I still haven't washed all his little clothes. I said I would do it week 30 but that has passed! I have however almost finished crocheting him a blanket and I have begun a cloth mobile for his hammock. I also crocheted him a jumper and hat and sewed and crocheted a bunny blanket. So I haven't totally been slack in the preparation area!
Oh Murph she is just beautiful oh and so little!!!! It was nice to see because that's about how big my big twin will be so will have to show DH the photo as he keeps asking me "how big will they be" and when we see babies at the shops he taps me and says "will they be that big" argh no honey that baby is probably a few months old he really has no idea but it's cute!
Grub - hope everything is ok after your fall - i have told you once but will tell you again - TAKE IT EASY! xxxx
BOC...you crack me rite up you cheeky thing,you are getting to be a funny little thing to have around here and i luv it and a big happy 20 weeks darlin your half way
MURPH AGAIN LOL... even had to show her off to dh and he say shes tiny and just beautiful and omg its so nice to see your face to sweety.
KELLYD... yay for smiles how cute
ME... well charlie must be having a growth spurt cause im feeling like crap all over again not just sick I MEAN SICK dh even had to shower me today 3 days in a row this has been now but ill get there you girls just keep me going please .
Ange, you are the bravest lady thank you for sharing yoru story, great to hear you midwife was a fighter (we all need one of those) It is wonderful to hear you so possitive about Jazzy's challenges ahead. All the best and lots and lots of warm fuzzies.
BOC you missed my post yesterday! guess we're not on the same wave length all the time Great to hear Cookie has caught up and is now bigger. What a nice Birthday Prezzie for DH. I agrea on the down hill from 20weeks, I think for me it was all the movement that just took all the guessing out of my life now, I just know Squeak is ok, I don't need a scan. I've never heard of swinging off the UC either. would have made a great site. Wow you are organised with BabyShower, people keep asking me but I think whatever they get will be great. Still not shore what sizes to buy either. I was a 10lb baby DF was 8.5lb so I'm thinking 0000 will be too small. But who knows.
Poppyfairy: Goodluck with your scan. I hope you get to have a good long look. Not long till you'll be seeing bubs in the flesh
KellyD how nice to hear your beautiful baby is smiling
Smithy bugga about feeling crook again. I hope Charlie grows quick then gives you a bit of time off.
ATM 43C today! I'm staying put in my nice airconditioned office. I don't have alot of work to do and am feeling a little unmotivated. I'd rather be at home but can't come up with a reason to take off. Funny this week is the first week I've really not wanted to leave the house. I'm ok if I'm busy but I'd rather be at home in my garden (not when it's 43C though).
Squeak's feet have found my ribs again. OUCH I love feeling movement but I guess there's a lack of room going on in my belly. And there's 9 weeks to go..........
Seeing as it worked so well for Ms Dusty I need you to muster up some more of your telepathic super icky for a dear friend of mine.
A bit of background: I have known her since 2006, when she & her DH first said they were going to TTC. We lost touch for a while but found each other again a couple of years ago. She is now currently in her 2ww on her 5th cycle/3rd EPU. Her first cycle was cancelled due to OHSS and none of her other ETs have ever managed to stick (for some unknown reason). In the midst of all this she lost her Mum (who she was so very close to) to cancer and she has been struggling. She is pretty level-headed when it comes to IVF but for some reason last cycle she had some different symptoms and became convinced it had worked, and was totally devastated when it didn't, especially since it was so soon after her mother's death.
This couple would make the most amazing parents you'd ever see and it honestly breaks my heart that they haven't got there yet. Especially since she has been there for me the whole way, and even when I got my BFP shortly after her mother's death she was still contacting me every few days to see how I was doing!
I am rallying my church, bible study group and everyone else in that I can to send stickies and prayers their way, so if any of you other lovely are into prayers, please send a couple up for them too! I think we're a pretty good group to be doing so, as most of us have been in her shoes in one way or another.
Her BT is scheduled for the 24th
I'm not sure if she posts in BB anywhere, I really haven't asked her just because I'm sure if she does she would like a little to maintain a little bit of privacy. But I just think these two really need a miracle.
aww BOC your a good friend hunny ,it makes it so much easier when you have people in your life that actually understand ivf and what we have all actually been through, so both you and this girlfriend are lucky to have that in common for a start its nice you are both back in contact hun.it sounds like they have also have a very tuff time and 5 ivf is just not fair ,3 was bad enough plus a fet
then to loose your mum as well breaks my heart cause ive still got my mum and serious i dont know what i would ever do with out her .
so i wish your friend all the luck i can muster and i will say i little for her and her dh for a beautiful miracle to hold in there arms and i know it will happen as good thing come to thoses who wait
sending all the hot wax and hair gel i can hun for the 24th
Hi all this will be a bit of a me post as my internet has been down for a few days and it is ust to hard to try and catch up.
Well I was feeling great after my few days of, went to the physio and she said it was the best I have been since she started seeing me 3 months ago. Well then on tuesday I slipped on Campbells toys not once but twice and have really aggrivated my pelvis. The theory that the further the pain is away from the sorce the worse it is well I have pain radiating down my legs into my ankles and the most unbelievable cramps in my tummy so at times I cant even stand up straight. I keep wondering how I am ever going to feel early labour as I feel like I am cramping sharp and like period pain all the time. Sigh.
Sorry just feeling a little sorry for myself. DH wants to take Campbell to the xoo on the weekend but I just dont think I could possibly walk around.
Anyway hope everyone is doing well, lots of belly rubs to all.
oh saph, i think your DH should take campbell to the zoo.. and you should stay home, put your feet up and relax a bit. have a sleep, put some heat on that sore back/pelvis or maybe have a nice long, warm bath. Hope you start to feel better soon sweetie.
boc - sending some stickyvibes to your friend! what a lucky friend she is to have you ox
greenswl - how long!!!! OMG it's going so quick... hope you have a quiet weekend at home, with lots of sleep and coolness love. good luck today, cos i think it's supposed to be worse.
smithy - that's terrible about the sickness still! have you been to the doc about it? (sorry can't remember). it sounds very extreme. oxox
thanks bella and poppyfairy - i will be more careful.
poppyfairy - good luck with teh scan love. and that's great news about your dad visiting alone. win for you love! enjoy seeing your friends
murph - she is so precious. i just want to pick her up and protect her. gorgeous love, and nice to see your face too! HOpe you are all settling at home well. oxoxox
afm - just dropped my sis off at the airport, it was good to have her here. we had some giggles like only sisters do lol. we haven't always been close so it was really nice to have just some quiet time. But the fur baby is now depressed and sulking cos her new best friend left her with the slack, fat mummy lol.
it's suppose to get very hot here today, so am hiding inside with the air con on and watching my fave tv show - the west wing Mother in law called yesterday, she's coming up from tassie for a few days to help me in these final 2 weeks til Dh gets home. I'm ssoooo relieved, was very worried about how i'd cope all alone and so far along. So only have just over a week alone and then she'll be here next sunday then DH home that friday!!! YIIPPEEE.
hope you are all well... stay out of the heat and drink plenty of water.
saph hey chicky babe the zoo sounds like fun but i couldnt walk around a zoo either hun no way lol im to sore in my groin all the time lol.
grubby.. WOOT WOOT NOT LONG NOW AND DH IS HOME HOW GOOD AND THEN NOT LONG AFTER YOULL BE A MUMMA sweety your doing so well i think of you all the time and wonder whats shes doing at home by herself tonight lol.. cuddles for you soon
me HAPPY 28 WEEKS HOLY CRAP WERE GETTING THERE even dh said yesterday "do you know babe we havent been for any long drives or spoken of any ivf now for 28 weeks" oh my poor baby gee i love him and just thank god we never need ivf again this baby was to be our only one together and now were nearly there.. 10 weeks today left yay ,
Well smithy that sounds like a great idea. I am trying to get DH to take Campbell somewhere on Sun but not to have a rest so I can write my reports they are due in just over a week so really should get a wriggle on.
Just booked gold class tickets for new twilight movies so very excited a night out for the grown ups. Yeah.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. Belly rubs to everyone.
Hello all. Well, I'm back from a very wet but very nice week in NZ. I've been having a wierd pregnancy week - and need some reassurance to put my mind at rest. Out of the blue, I did a great big sneeze, and I was racked with pain, all across my stomach. But surely sneezing cannot do you any damage? My boob pain comes and goes - is that normal? I worry that the pregnancy might fade like the last one.
I'm very nervous about the scan on Tuesday - also it's not our lovely FS, he's away. My husband has told me that it's probably easier if tell him when I'm not worrying, as I seem to be worrying about something about 95% of the time. tell me I'm not the only worrywort?
Murph - Jasmine is sooooo beautiful - I can't believe even between your five pictures how much she's grown already! She's gorgeous. Sorry for the lack of personals, I hope you are all very well and having a good weekend.
awwww murph i could see the pics and oh my goodness jazzy is just so beautiful im melting here rite now .
you were rite I LOVE HER LOL.
