Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - Jan 2008

Lenny - I agree rest up, this is one of the few times left that you will able to be completely self absorbed and look after yourself

Marcellus - I cant believe you are on maternity leave wow that means its close, I have 9 weeks left and counting hehe

I tried to sort our car seat out yesterday and to my utter distress it doesnt fit, we have a nissan navara and I said to dh that the back seats were smaller than normal cars but he wouldn't have any of it. Think it may have to go in the front passenger seat until it can be turned round the other way. I am just not having any luck with these baby purchases. DH just said to me we will get it right with the 2nd one......I just looked at him.

On a happy note my parents are absolutely giddy over their 1st impending grandchild and are flying out from the uk on 24/05, very excited as havent seen them for 2 years. Mum hopes I will be late, so that they make the birth...I think everyone is hoping I am late except me.

Hope you are all doing well, I cant believe how close we are all getting

Hi Ladies,

Lenny, Satya, Marcellus - Thank you for your understanding when I think no-one does.

Satya - hope the eye is ok. How cute little man is in sympathy for you.

Marcellus - congrats on the maternity leave. You wont know yourself. You will start nesting now, how nice. Enjoy yourself and take your time with everything. Enjoy the peacefulness until the big day. Spoil yourself!

Lismith - how precious your family is flying out for you. You must be stoked. I was told that no car seats can go in the front because of the airbag situation. Maybe you should check this out just as a safety precaution.

Me - DH took me away for the weekend to get me out of the house. It was ok but on the drive back home last night I started to feel like I was driving back into that fog again. Its another quiet day on the home front but at least the sun is out and I have a heap of washing to do to keep me busy. I think that's the key to keeping spirits up, busy busy busy.

I got a note in the letterbox about a lady in our street organising walks 3 times a week for 45mins. Im going to go and I am looking forward to it. I think some exercise will help lift my mood and I will get to meet some ladies in my street. Its amazing how things happen when we need them to.

Thanks for your kind words again, girls xoxo

Nic - love the new av!
Lismith - it'll be great to see your parents. Carseat is a dirty word in our house. Bugsy is still transport-less! It's an expensive decision and we are STILL undecided! We are useless! I can barely decide what clothes to put on in the morning and what to cook for dinner - carseats etc, are just too hard!
Marcellus - had a swab last week too, but no internals at all (thankfully). I'm pleased that your maternity leave has started. I am only doing part-time now. I enjoy it still - and i am quitting permanently to have bugsy, so it seems quite hard to actually leave. It will be strange not to 'have a job' although i'm sure i will be busier than i could ever imagine!
TL - the walking group sounds great. Being busy sometimes helps, but don't ignore your feelings either. I wish i had some wise words for you - but i am thinking of you and i hope the fog lifts soon.
Kimbe - you still in preggy-land - or are you in baby-land already?!
