Pregnancy After LT TTC ~ March 2006

[~Raven~]

Catch up on the previous thread HERE

[{sarah}]

If anyone has their baby's on Sunday - Sush & Mel I'm looking at you two - it would be a great day for a baby to be born

[shell_l_d]

Skyelar, thnx, yeah we really like it. Funny thing is that Jaime, you & I all like it & we all came from the clomid thread, cool huh. Jaime's lil Holly was born last wk.

Sushee, glad ur feelin more relaxed bout havin bub's now, & could be anytime from now on huh.
ROFL at bub being born out belly button, hehe.

Sheree, wow, ur DD certainly didn't want to wait those extra 2 days for ur c/c, cool.

Justine, hehe on MIL.

Mel, that masssage sounds wonderful, good to hear u got some rest, even if it was thru the day. Oh ur poor Dad being told by the sister's to go home without seein u & ur mum, yikes, things certainly have changed for the better.

Carrie, eeewwww. :-)

Yay, as of today, I'm now officially in the birthing 2WW, hehe. No signs for me, but not really expecting to go early or on time, doh. :-)

[Melbo]

Hi Girls,

Just checking in for the day. Nothing new to report.

Sarah - hmmm ... could Sunday be a special day for a certain moderator? Might that day involve candles and a cake? =) I can't promise anything but who knows what might happen between now and then?

Shell - Welcome to the waiting period, my friend. I hope your stay is a pleasant one. Wouldn't it be funny if you went before Sush and I? Well, maybe not for you but it would turn everything on its head wouldn't it?

Time for me to attend to domestic duties. Catch you lovelies later on.

Mel

[Magic]

Morning ladies \/

[sushee]

Only 4 days until we meet Mel's little William!
Only 13 days until we meet Shell's litte Holly!

Morning girls!

Sarah, I reckon Mel's your best bet! I'm still crossing my legs until my mum's departure! Lol!

Nothing much to report on this front either. I definitely 'feel' like bub is engaged now, with lots of pressure just there. Ouch BHs last night too. Yet I wake up every morning and get onto BB as usual \/ So I've convinced myself it will be a while yet!

Mel, I think it would be grand if Shell beat us both, don't you? Go on, shell, you can do it! I'm not even the in the 2WW yet!

Well, off to take my beautiful DD to work. She is on tennerhooks waiting for this baby to arrive. Was supposed to be staying at her best friends tonight, but I heard her on the phone last night saying but the Dr said my mum could have the baby anytime now! I have to be at home if anything happens! What if she needs me? Put such a smile on my face, she did!

See you all later!

love
sushee

[humphrey]

Is she going to be in the delivery room with you Sush? How cute that she's so excited. Plus you have the bonus of a babysitter who you trust.

[Freya]

OMG guys its puppy time here in the T household! 5 beautiful chocolate lab pups so far, my baby girl is doing so well! Pics on my webpage if you want to see them but be warned YOULL FALL IN LOVE! lol

[~Raven~]

Sushee it is so sweet that your DD is so excited \/
Anna awww the puppies are cute!

[humphrey]

Anna - yes they are adorable. I have a 1 yr old chocolate lab and she's a terror!! Why can't they stay little? Sometimes my dog is more trouble than my boy, but when they're together.... watch out garden.... they take no prisoners!

[tiggy]

LV Mel

[Baby~amore`]

Mel - I meant to ask if you wanted LV for tomorrow 1st April

Tiff - are you on holidays yet ? Hope you have a lovely week away thinking of you for Sunday and Williams 2nd birthday anniversary

[shell_l_d]

Mel LV to you, hope u go first with a short & sweet labour.

Sorry Sush, dont think I can & wouldn't want to take it away from Mel either. I know they say it's not hereditory for the timing of birth, but my mum & sis & nan all went over, but they do say that the length is, so hoping to get a 5hr labour too. :-)
How sweet & cute of ur DD.

Anna, how cute. And yay on the 2nd trimester, there's a few of u now, looks like we need alot more recruits in here.

Tiff, I 2nd what Trish said, hope u have a good time considering.

[Freya]

After 9 hours of labour we finally have :shock: 11 :shock: puppies, all chocolate. Honestly my labour will be a breeze after this lol Im knackered and so is Mama.

More pics on the webpage if anyone is interested. Your probably not but Im just so proud of her =D>

[Baby~amore`]

Anna they do look very cute - glad humans can't have 11

[{sarah}]

Sarah - hmmm ... could Sunday be a special day for a certain moderator? Might that day involve candles and a cake? =) I can't promise anything but who knows what might happen between now and then?

It might be I think though just tell little Will that tomorrow might not be the best day to arrive!

Aww 11 puppies And they are just too cute!

[Melbo]

I knew it!! Happy birthday for tomorrow Sarah!!

Trish - looks like we dodged the 1 April bullet (am I speaking too soon??). I don't want to tempt fate as there are already enough fools in the family tree (a whole heapin' helpin' on DH's according to him).

Anna - your dog is a legend! 11 little ones. Hope she is recovering and feeding them all well.

Sushee - how sweet that Ariani is so excited. She's going to be a big help to you I just know it.

Tiff - thanks for the labour vibes and I'll be thinking of you :flower:

Nothing new to report here. I thought to pass the time, I would start a list of stupid comments that people have made to me lately.

1. "Your life is going to change forever you know." (Well stick a feather in my cap and call me Macaroni. Here's me thinking I can just sling the kid in the corner and carry on as usual.)

2. "You look so big/small!!" (The lesson here being that there is never a suitable size to be in pregnancy).

3. "Wow, 12 months off. That's a nice holiday!" (response to this unprintable)

Go on girls ... I know you have some others to add. =)
