Pregnancy After Long Term TTC - Feb 2007

[sushee]

Aw Shez! Isabella is an absolute darling!

[Danni]

aww shes gorgeous!

[monnie]

Shez...Isabella looks like one very happy baby...she's beautiful!

[Kar]

Danni and Monnie - the secret was a doula - I am sure! She and DH sheltered me from all the crap going on in the room. (there was meconium in my waters about 3 hours into the labour, and lots of comings and goings, shift changes etc). I was able to go to planet la la and stay there and not come back.

I think the other big thing was being really excited about going into labour instead of apprehensive. Knowing that the labour pain was temporary and that every one got me closer to seeing my baby.

Shez - must be something about chubby cheeks and PALTTC... Isabella is gorgeous!

I tell myself this everyday and I cant wait to do it!

She's gorgeous Kar. Well done & a short labour too, wow, so the secret is to be dialating & having BH's days/wks b4 hand & a doula present at the birth huh!

Oh Jane, hope ur not working too hard & getting some rest.

Wow Danni, ur next now. Hope ur getting as much rest as possible.

Monnie, that's not fun, hope the sciatica eases for u.

[Danni]

wow shell, youre 15 weeks already!!

Are you finding out the gender?

[shell_l_d]

Sure am Danni, we think we already know (www - milestones)

[Freya]

Just popping in to say Hi ladies!
Kar, Shez your baby girls are just beautiful! Congrats again to you!
Kar, way to go on the 6 hour labour, its great when it goes by fast isnt it?

OMG Shell your 16wks already! Took a look at your pics too, you look fabulous! I hope my tummy looks as good as yours 2nd time around!

Speaking of second time around, like Shell, am hoping maybe you might let me back in here in a week or two

Danni, good luck lovie, your up next how exciting!!!!

[Danni]

wow shell, what great u/s pics!! It looks like she was covering her "bits" hehe!

Welcome anytime Anna...its so quiet in here. We need some more recruits...COME ON DOWN MISS KEEN!!

[Keen]

oh ok then, if you insist! Hopefully one day soon, guys. For the moment living vicariously through you...

[shell_l_d]

Ooh how exciting AnnaT. Thnx for the belly complement, but I feel so much bigger this time, doh, hehe.
P.S. I'm not actually back in here though, as wasn't LTTTC this time. I put most of my preggy info in my www & some in the April baby buddy thread, although an occasional comment slips in here. I (like Sush, Mel, etc) just can't keep away from checking up on the LTTTC success stories in here.

Oooh, fingers crossed big time Keen.

[monnie]

Yeah...we definitely need so more recruits...

Can't wait til this thread is overflowing with LT-TTC-ers!!!

So...is this the order so far...

Danni
Jane
Me (monnie)
Shell

Any others that I've missed? (if so...so sorry!!!)

[firemansgirl]

Yep DH and I are going to start very very soon.. i promise.. and hopefully i will be over here .. might line up to take Janos seat! That could be perfect timing

leis x

[monnie]

Oh that would be great Leis!!!

Just saw your signature...where are you going in the US and Europe?

My DH did a 3 month trip about 3 years ago...he was on a study scholarship...but it was amazing...we did London, Paris, New York, Bloomington (Indianna University), Minneapolis (University of Minnesota), Chicago, San Francisco (my personal favourite), LA and San Diego...

[Kar]

Morning everyone
Sorry have been MIA - have been in a postnatal hospital for 4 days and only got out yesterday. Good news is that I finally have Hester on the breast after a harrowing 2.5 weeks of breast refusal and nipple confusion.

Danni - how are you sweets? Not long now.
Jane - has the sciatic thing gone?
Monnie - only 3 weeks til you're half way! Yay!
Shell, Keen and Leis and everyone else -

[Danni]

Oh Kar, thank goodness you're home and have the princess on the breast where she belongs

Im going well...i think? Bring on Junior!

Great news Kar -well done it took Joel 5 months but he is going strong now. Hester is gorgeous.
