Hi Ladies,

Long Time No Post.

I need to read the thread and catch up. May take a bit but hope you are all doing well.

Well Christmas has been so busy and the New Year seems to have already flown past very quickly.

I had my amnio on the 31st and am excited to say that there are no chromosone abnormalities in our baby. I had so much crap going on in my head about the amnio and when I went in, it was nothing. The doctor was fantastic but baby pushed his foot on the needle and touched it. I didnt watch because every time I see an ultrasound of our baby I laugh and cry at the same time and wanted to be still. DH watched. It was nothing. The needle did not hurt and I expected to feel a dragging sensation when they withdrew the fluid but felt nothing. A very easy procedure and I rested for a few days after.

Ready for this; We have a son on the way! I couldnt believe it. I cried and cried and cried. Eleven years of hard slog on IVF and we have a son. Just the thought makes me cry. We have been through so much disappointment and failure and now we are no longer a statistic. We are so happy its amazing. Im tired, emotional and have a sore back but its all worth it.

Its 4.47am and I awoke at 1am and slept until 3am and cant get back to sleep. Im so uncomfortable. Im on my third glass of skim milk and usually that works but nothing tonight. Anyway, I hope it rains today so I can sleep.

Will catch up with you all soon.

Take Care
