Now the previous posts make being a part of this forum so much more worthwhile.You girls are fantastic at making me feel better and making me laugh and smile.Thankyou,everyone!!!
Smithy~ We havnt DTD since 3 days before the egg collection!! I did tell him that from 30 weeks onwards we will give it a go.....yuk.Im not sure i will want to but i dont want him searching elsewhere (not that he would but you never know) and especially since ive heard many say that once the baby is born you never get a chance to.I figure i should make 'some' effort. Part of being married i guess.LOL

I have been watching peanut going wild in my belly.It actually starten to frighten me a little as there were big lumps poking out next to my belly button and the movements were soooo strong.My whole belly was looking bumpy and being pushed all around!! Felt like i had a full term bub in there wearing soccer boots.

I know i keep asking but has ANYONE heard from Sammiejam???? (Colts mummy)
I had a friends daughter today give birth to her son who has the Anti D thingy and she never had the injections required and now the blood has transferred across to the mum.I know that Little Colt had some trouble after birth,but had started to pick up and was getting better.If anyone gets into contact,can you get her to pop in to say how he is doing? I pray all is o.k

Well Connor turned 13 today and he stayed in his room all day playing his new wii games.He was very happy.I actually felt neglected but found the time to bake 30 muffins and start on my next sculpted baby for ebay.
Hope everyone is well.

Lilmiss' baby Ethan Boh is a big boy! Im curious as to his middle name 'boh'.Curious as to the meaning/inspiration.
What is everyone elses inspiration behind their name choices? (no need to give away names though)
The names i chose are because of meanings and one name which we are yet to agree on for a middle name (we are having 2 second names) is my cousins name who passed away at 17 when i was only 11.The meanings of my chosen names are 'Priceless' and 'Graceful' and 'Beauty'.

Hey my lovely bellies

Just thought Id pop in a quick one while my son has decided to go lie down.

WELCOME ETHAN AND BIG CONGRATS TO LIL MISS!! Its soo good to see another fed up LTTTC'er finally get her wish Its beautiful isnt it that after all the hard years of waiting and and trying and seeing so many people getting pregnant so easy then finally finding herself there and getting through the long pregnancy wait to hear another healthy bubba has blessed his mummys life

Sorry if that sounds corny or outwardly religious, its not Im just feeling very happy for her especially after the last entry when she was so damn fed up with waiting!

Want baby#2 -=- hunni 51 kilos is beyond my wildest dreams lol! I was 55 in high school and Id be lucky to get back down to my pre pregnancy 65kg after this one! Especially considering the amount of chocolate and apple pie with custard Ive been scoffing down the last week! HAHA! Your are such an inspiration being so healthy this whole time and cutting out all the caffiene being so good to yourself and the bubba! What an example of a great well deserving mummy! Your son sounds great! I would be so happy if my lil man turns out as well mannered and caring as that! I thought it was so cute that he is threatening to steal away bubbi to get them away from the swearing! Please dnt be to wrryd about a bit of a belly hun! There is always something thats going to bug us ladies about our bodies no matter what we do and what size we are for me its my chunder thighs.. even more chunderous whilst holding up my lil one! I hate them so much especially considering the rest of my looks relitively small which makes them seem even bigger and more out of proportion.. But hey, it hasnt stopped me eating desserts on thursday nights yet so I suppose it musnt be all THAT bad LOL

Lise -=- It must be hard for you to not be able to share with your friends what youve been through.. Your very sweet respecting your DH's feelings that way and keeping quiet about it all Glad you have plenty of friends to get clucky with now! Does that make you happy or is it a little hard to hear? When I was TTC for well over one year and my GF decided she woulld start trying with her bf of a whopping 3 months.. then fell pregnant.. went through her whole pregnancy and then gave birth and I still wasnt pregnant.. I found it really hard not to be jealose of her.. I just always felt when she was complaining about pregnancy and such that it was so unfair and even felt she was taking it for granted because here she was *****ing to me about it all when I couldnt even concieve.. But at the same time I immersed myself in helping her with everything and became so involved with her pregnancy. We had our 2nd MC just before she had her baby and at that point I felt like giving up and ended up giving her all our baby things.. But it seemed like she didnt even care about us losing our bub and was just happy to be scoring some stuff. I dont know maybe I was just over sensitive at the time.. but it makes me wonder how it will all feel when I hear pg news now.. hm not sure..

AFM -=- well im still here haha isnt it funny how Im already so fed up and wondering why I havnt popped yet even tho I still have 9 days to go! I almost feel guilty for not being mroe patient and at least wait until im over b4 getting grumpy about it lol

Well Im getting some really strange pains today.. I can only describe them as dull stabbing period like pains in my pelvis and through to the back.. they are comeing in waves but there arnt realy any contractions or tighening.. I figure its not labour.. but does anyone know if that is something else like maybe its the cervix softening or something?? Gosh who knos.. guess ill have to wait and see...

Love to all hope to be announcing to you soon

wantbaby#2 its great to see we are all here to support you isnt it.. hahaha.. Im more than happy to join in if DH keeps it up so make sure you let us all know
kyrawolfe not long to go now. Hope those pains mean something is well and truly happening.

So most of you ladies were/are not not interesting in DTD at all throughout your pregnancy?? Umm i guess my DH can count himself lucky..LOL

[lise]

Paula - it's not me it's DH!! I can't tempt him for love nor money and I'm about to threaten him with divorce if he doesn't agree to DTD soon...! He's so worried about hurting the chicklet which I think is lovely, but this is way too long!!

Ky - it's funny, now that I'm pregnant I'm perfectly fine when I hear of friends falling pregnant and indeed excited to have friends along for the ride, but when we were still trying I was certainly angry and teary and jealous. DH used to hate telling me about any friends having babies, I was definitely a green eyed monster. That friend of yours doesn't sound like a friend at all, I'm glad you've got friends around you know who seem much nicer! And I hope your pains are a sign of things to come VERY SOON! Will be keeping my fingers crossed for you xx

Wantbaby - you can add me to the list of people willing to hit DH around the head. I'm sure you look just gorgeous and this is not the time for you to be feeling bad about your body. I love my belly and can't wait till it gets even bigger!!

Londonmiss - I think you might be talking about MY thighs there! As for my butt nowdays...!

Well chicklet is going off tonight, I think she's having a disco or something in there she's so active! DH put his face on my belly and she gave him a huge kick on the cheek, hehehe. Put my official application for mat leave in today, so so excited!! Only 17 more working days

[*Paula*]

lise that is sweet of DH not wanting to hurt chicklet. Hopefully though for your sake he starts to feel more at ease soon and understand that its ok and chicklet is well and truly cushioned in there. Isnt it just the most amazing feeling when they have their little discos inside us. I love it!!

Just had lunch with a friend who has a four month old baby and OMG.. i want my bub out now! I was soooo in love. Totally lost track of time and got back to work late but it was worth it. He was so adorable and pleasant. It amazing to see what will be here and all mine in just a few more months.

[LondonMiss]

ha ha ha sorry I didn't respond, I was DTD

gosh, you could wait for years to use a line like that! But I actually was!!! To answer your question - no, we certainly don't do it as much as we used to but still regularly-ish if you see what I mean. Long enough to realise we could give it a go and that would be lovely, and long enough between goes that we forget how bloody logistical the whole thing has become!! Little babydoll nightdresses are the answer in my book, and candles rather than lights. I'm self conscious about my body, despite all this stuff about glowing motherhood making you sexier (and I definitely cannot do it when she's kicking, that's just way too wierd) which I think is a bit idealistic when you have a great big belly to actually contend with. But no, its not quite a drought in our house, more a bit less rain than normal

[*Paula*]

GO LONDONMISS!!!! Haha..

[kyrawolfe]

just a quick one for me today

Those niggly period like stabby ish pains are still comeing every 15 minutes... wish they would progress already! so excited and impatient at the same time! DH has started doing half days at work because hes anxious about being home with me more now helping me sleep more and taking care of DS for me.. and also wanting to be here when things kick off.. He has this big fear that when things happen and if hes at work his co-worker will take forever to get to the shop so he can leave. I really dnt think jelly bean is far away now my bellies! Continueing to drink my raspberry leaf tea (which is yummy with honey btw) and curry food chillis etc... speaking of dtd have given up on that one LOL way to hard to manouvre now! but lets just wait and see I think Im close girls i really do

aww chicky babe you poor thing,but i totally know this feeling as i said my poor old fella waited for months and months I WAS NOT GOING TO DTD NO WAY i thought the risk of hurting my bub was to great and apart from that i just didnt feel like it at all,actually i remember saying i could go the rest of my life with out dtd lol. and we do always get that yukky feeling of "would my man go elsewer "knowing very well they wouldnt but thats how we still think hun.
so i didnt even have to dtd i use to gee myself up and say to dh well ill give you a (tmi)hand job sometimes this use to shut him up for a while id say i dont feel like doing it for you but its a favour.so on would go the cream on the old hand and off we'd go pmsl (yes i know i said tmi lol)but the things we do,then even when we started it again i was so not into it
anyways hun just know you are not the only one this is happenig to ok dont feel bad at all.

so were mooving house tomorrow girls and i wont be online for a week or 2 so just wanted to say take care and belly rubs to you all.see you soon.

[LondonMiss]

Oooh Kyra - that sounds very promising! Does it hurt yet, or is it more of a temporary thing? Does it feel like the start of a birth? If you've started, I won't bother changing the list until you have popped and I have both names to change

Go and eat something filling and have a bath whilst you have a chance. And make sure your DH knows his most important task (after looking after you of course) is to make sure that you or someone else gets to a laptop to update your bellyfriends when it happens!

lm -=- no not really hurting yet just enough to think something different is going on these last couple days.. TBH i have no idea.. I fear getting my hopes up for nothing but at the same time I am so wishig this is the beggining and Ill go in the next few days..

Ill keep you all posted dnt wry with any luck things will progress tonight or tomorow and Ill be in and out of hosp in a few days and back home with bubs to announce by then! crossing fingers its not another false alarm!

anyway I havnt stopped eating since i concieved LOL so thats all fine the bath idea sounds good tho I wry about my waters breaking..

[sammiejam]

Hi gals!

Just popping in to say hi -"HI!" and see how everyone is doing.

Wantababy2- awwwww, I was so touched to see you asked after me and lil Colt We are doing fine now. Soooo glad to be home. I hope your friend and her bubs are holding up ok. It is a horrible and scary thing knowing that your blood is trying to attack your baby Im sure everything will be fine though as they can do so much for this situation now. How odd to hear of 2 cases in a month! It is supposed to be very rare now days...

LM- great to see everything is going well I cant believe you are already 27 wks! It seems like yesterday you got your bfp. And dont worry about the size of your thighs. I bet all y'all when it comes to weight gain during pregnancy lol. And my thighs are still WAYYYY huge. And dimply lol.

Paula - I love your ticker. So cute. And how nice to have lunch with added baby snuggles! In no time flat it will be your bubs that you are cuddling and you will be wondering where all that pregnancy time disappeared too. It really seems to go sooo fast - after its over LOL.

Lise- Phew, only 17 days to go at work - how wonderful! I bet you cant wait. Once you stop work you are really on the homeward stretch. ANd its so great to lie around all day in your jimjams eating bon-bons and pondering the size of your growing butt. Oh hang on, that was ME! hehehe - projecting again

Kyra - OMG. I came on here in the nick of time!!! What is happening with you is exactly what happened with me! Just try to relax and have something to eat and drink. Advice I didnt take and lived to regret. You know that when the contractions get to about 5 mins its time to get your butt to the hospital right? Is DH home with you now? I am getting all nervous and excited for you! SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!!

AFM - Colt is doing great. He is still pretty small (or "compact" as his daddy says) but he is feeding like a ... mad feeding thing, and is cute as a button. He barely cries at all but is a really squawky wriggler. He is only waking once after his 11.30 feed so I am getting some sleep at night. THANK GOD. On an unusal note, he has no eyebrows. Not sure what that means but I have no qualms in drawing them on if they dont grow in before he starts school. JOKE!

Well speak of the devil and he squawks and squeezes out a big fart. I think thats my cue girls. Time to get out the boobs again. Sorry if i missed anyone out in the persies, I have worse baby-brain now than I did when I was preggo! Oh dear, someone is trying to wake the dead with angry howling, better dash.

Love to all!

Sammie

[lise]

Am I on the wrong thread? There's way too much DTDing going on here. hehehe!!

Kyra - honey I hope this is the beginning and your next post is your BA! Sending as many good labour vibes your way as I can muster xx

Sammie - so glad you and Colt are home and doing well, though where are our pics?! Seriously, it must be so lovely to be home having 'normal time' after your experience, yay for you. And don't worry - I plan on spending my six weeks off eating as much as possible and lying around doing as little as possible. They might have to crane me to hospital, lol.

Londonmiss - stop making me jealous, though i'm glad you're still having fun with DH. I do wish mine wasn't quite so concerned with the Chicklet sometimes, I swear sometimes he just thinks of me as a vessel for his baby!

Paula - lucky you getting cuddles, I haven't had any baby hugs for ages, I so can't wait till I can squeeze the Chicklet all day long!

smithy - hehehe, you funny thing!

At work googling baby capsules, think we're going to hire one for the first six months and then buy one. What are others doing?

Hope you're all going well, sending belly rubs to everyone and especially to Kyra
lise xx

[sammiejam]
