i just can not sighn into f/b as my ex might see me and i can not have that.
BIG Congrats to you and your DH BDT!!!
What beautiful little baby girls :dance:
Saph...you are one of three ladies, all one after the other who I breathed a huge sigh of relief for when your baby was out. Phew...what a tough ride you have had. If I had felt just a bit of the pain some of you girls went through, I'd have been a mess. You, Smithy and Greenslw deserve medals. I haven't been so relieved since Briggsysgirl gave birth to the cheeky miss Emerald. Anyway onthe birth of your Xavier, a huge and hearty CONGRATULATIONS and enjoy your second round of mummyhood. I bet there's heaps you've forgotten.
BDT..all the comments have been made, but I thought I'd walked onto a set of Neighbours, you all look so gorgeous. My DH looked gorgeous (to me anyway) but I looked like I gave birth naturally over a 30 hour labour I'm sure of it:o I don't think i will post those. seriously though, you look like you are going fantastically and I'm so happy for you. Great news on the smooth c-sect. A word of warning, keep on top of your bowel movements:redface:...pear juice, pear juice, pear juice and soaked prunes. never underestimate the power of constipation and trapped wind after surgery, I ended up back in hosi:o. Enjoy it all...I'm so wistful of those memories already. Congratulations on your lovely Sophia and Aria (such pretty names too)
Smithy...oh honey, so sorry that's your reason for not going on facebook. Now I'm even happier I copy the public link for you. Maybe BDT could copy the public link for you and I hope you see them soon.
:hug::hug:MURPH... your such a great friend to all of us hun and thanks for thinking of me,about the face book ive tried it once before and my ex family found me and it frightened the crap out of me and i promised my self never to go back on it ,i know you can block people and all that but its all to raw and scary for me still after all these years (6.5 yrs later lol) but this fella is in and out of jail all the time and after him giving me broken ribs smashing my face on a daily basis being held captive putting me to sleep in chocker holds killing my dog in front of me the list just goes on so for me the way you have always posted the links is awsom as i still get to see our beautiful little jazzy :D thanks hun.
my life is awsom now with my love cooper but i still get scared sometimes and its taken me so long to get over all this.anyways thats my winge for today just thought id let you know my reasons for not likeing to go to F/B
A BIG HELLO TO ALL TODAY :D
BDT.. hope the little girls are really well today hun and your feelinkg ok too. luv ya lots.
BDT - your girls are just beautiful and I'm so glad you're all doing well. CONGRATULATIONS on a great baking job!
Smithy - to come out of such experiences the caring, beautiful person that you are, well it bought tears to my eyes. Perhaps murph can tell all us FB dummies how to post our links so you can see the pics.
AFM - I've got a couple of much needed days off work so am about to go claim some money back from my health insurance for all my acupuncture and buy myself something nice! We have our 20 week scan on Monday and I'm so excited!!! Monday is exactly 20 weeks and I'm very happy to be nearing that halfway mark.
Big hello to everyone else- I'm not really being slack with the no persies but doing this on my phone as our computer has died again. Definitely tone for a new one.
Have a great Friday ladies xx
Smithy~ I am so,so very sorry that you have had such a terrible past.Unfortunately there has been things like that in my family(my mum was abused for years).My heart goes out to you.You never really recover from being treated that way.You only learn to get better at dealing with the pain but it never goes away.I would be staying away from FB too.I am so very glad that you have your new partner.You seem really happy and i am so happy for you.I have always believed that success is the best revenge.You have it all now.xoxox
AFM,I am madly trying to find the top of my uterus by feeling around.Because my stomach was in 'shocking' shape from DS,and because my stomach muscles remained separated,i am probably feeling everything BUT my uterus.This is keeping me busy until my next appointment in 3 weeks time.:) I even had lines drawn on my belly so i could get up and measure with a measuring tape.This is all to make sure im growing as i havnt gained any weight.I started at 47kg,dropped to 45kg and am now back to 47kg but nothing more so this might ease my worries about the baby not growing.Do i sound insane yet? LOL
Belly rubs to all.Sorry no personals today.I have lots to do but wanted to have a quick peek in. xx
Smithy - oh my goodness, I'm stunned by your post. How you have managed to get through such a hideous experience is amazing. Thank goodness you have now got so much happiness in your life.
Lise - very jealous to hear about your scan on Monday, I'm counting down the days to mine. DH will actually be in the country for this one which is nice!!! Good luck and I hope you see lots of jumping and swimming about
Out the corner of my eye, I can see the dog stalking a pigeon (Imagine a lion stalking a gazelle, I think she thinks she looks like that). Did I tell you I found her in the kitchen with her mouth round a pigeon the other day. Disengaging flea ridden pooping pigeons from a dog's slavering mouth is not really a good job for a pregnant lady!
Totally!:
I gues i should pop my head in here now, for a long time i didnt know where to fit in. i was still in total denile! But now i am here at 12 weeks. The ladies in my BB thread have been wonderful and totally understanding, but i feel like i am doing their heads in with my stresses and worries, thats the LTer showing i guess. I dont know if any of you are as early as i am in my pg as i know there are lots of births waiting to happen, but i do lerk from time to time to check in on you all.
No words do it justice smithy, but thankyou so much for trusting yourself with us and sharing. My heart nearly fell on the floor and I'm a bit in shock, but onwards and upwards. You are amazing and very, very loved and treasured here and with your new family.xoxo
thank you girls means a lot to have your support xoxo
Smithy, just PM you the photos.
Bigest hugs to to my friend.
BDT, I hope you don't mind we can't have our Smithy missing out
Hi loverly ladies, thanks so much for your kind words, we are doing well, I am still amazed at how lucky I am, I am in heaven and it just gets better.
Smithy, you poor love, I hope you got Nicole's PM with the pics, you are totally amazing! So happy you are so happy with your new family.
Loula, I am so happy you are here too, can't wait to catch up on your news.
Umm..can you tell, I am so happy :D can't say it enough and can't get the smile off my face. Will be back when I get into a routine, I can't believe how quick the 3 hour feeds come around.
And...Lilmiss, OMG, what a totally beautiful gift, you really went all out, I have sent MIL home with the wraps and outfits to wash already so I can use tomorrow :dance:. Thank you so much.
Love and belly rubs to all xx
:cheer::leap::cheer: oh wow bdt,your girls are so beautiful hun i am so very happy for you hun and very proud,you look so happy and your dh looks so proud i thank you so much for sharing those pics hun,enjoy every second with your 2 little miacles,when i saw the pics i just lost it broke down in tears after all you have been through you have your girls.
NIC S...:bluecheer: oh hun what a cutey pie you have there,also thanks you very much for sending me pics of your little man,you have made my day by sending all those pics through to me,i know your a busy mummy hun and for you to do that was just awsom...your the bestest .
im feeling really good tonight after seeing my friends oh and i forgot BDT YOU HAVE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TEETH HUN ( YEH I KNOW IM A TEETH GIRL ) and i just cant believe how relaxed you look in surgery
Just popping in!
Smithy - what a strong woman you must be....I cannot imagine what you have been through... I am glad you have finally found happiness. I can see just from the photos I have seen, that you and Coops share a strong and loving relationship and I can see what a caring, lovely gentle man he is from his eyes and the way he looks at you in your pics. I know I am basing this only on pics but I am glad you have found such a lovely relationship when you could have sooo easily given up hope because of your experience.
Loula - Welcome! I know what you mean about where you belong on threads. I joined my BB thread for my due date and as much as they were lovely ladies I just felt I belonged here more with ladies who understood the anxiety of a LTTC pregnancy. I would lurk in my BB thread because I was interested in their progress but I never posted. Just felt more at home here...
LM - so let me guess....is your surname Price, Marsh, Rooney or Cole? I know some would disagree with me about the last two but anyway!!!!
Everyone else belly rubs!
AFM - Got a few minutes free from a hungry bub wanting booby as he is out with his daddy dogwalking. Progress has been made because we are now feeding hourly instead of every flipping minute!!! Still dodgy on the attachment (attaches pretty well on his favourite boob but hopeless on the other!) One nurse at the hospital (when he was getting his thyroid blood test....hell time!!)reckons he might have a slight tongue tie. I am going to the antenatal class graduates show off session today so I will get the midwife to have a look.
Have started co-sleeping (:shhh: don't tell anyone LOL!!!) so we are getting tons of sleep at night. I guessed it wasn't worth the stress of putting him in and out of the moses basket throughout the night. :wall: We plan to get a bedside cot (using a guard rail on our bed at the moment) and then gradually move him into that and then move the cot away from our bed. I figure he is just not ready to self settle yet. Four weeks ago he was being fed and held 24 hours a day...I don't believe he should be going off that cold turkey. Little by little is ok with me.
CONGRATULATIONS BDT!!! You just look soo serene and at peace. Those babies are gorgeous and i love, love, love the pic of your DH holding the girls with that look of absolute adoration on his face... lol. Poor bloke, THREE girls haahaa.
See you on the parenting after LTTC folder :) and enjoy every moment!!!
big belly rubs to all the girls here. keep well!
Look what I found girls, another blue bundle to add to our ever expanding lists of bubba's.:
Congrats Melbel on the arrival of you BIG little boy.
Poppyfairy~ When i had my son 13 yrs ago i slept with him cradled in my arm until he was 12 months old.I was a paranoid mother and he was a baby who had asthma that would stop breathing through the night.I could feel and hear him not breathing as he was so close to me that i would wake,give him a gentle shake to get him to take a breath! It was comforting to me knowing he wasnt alone in a cot on the other side of the room.Anyways long story short,the drs say its dangerous co sleeping but there is a thing you can buy that you put in the bed with you.It is available at Target for about $60.Its like a rectangular bed with mesh sides and padding to stop bub slipping around but it just goes in the bed with you and DH making it so easy and safe to co sleep.Thought you could check it out if interested.?xx
Who is MelBel??? I dont remember her. :redface: I love the name of her new son.Connor Jack Edward. My son is Connor,My brother is Jack and my dad was Edward.They are my 3 favourite names!!! She must have read my mind.:)
Congratulations anyhow Melbel.Enjoy your new bub.xx
:dance::dance: CONGRATULATIONS MELBEL AND DH :dance::dance:
enjoy your little man hun xoxo
BDT - Welcome to your two little girls!! Well done and enjoy them! They are beautiful!
Melbel - Welcome to your little boy!!! Well done!!! Looking forward to pics!
:hug::hug:you are to beautiful hun thank you so much for this little msg,it really does mean a lot to have you girls supporting me.:
and yes i just love my new little family and im so lucky to have coops in my life,he actually was my mum and dads friend for about the last 25 yrs so ive known him for a very long time then he got divorsed and i grabbed him :lol: so lucky i did .
BDT: CONGRATULATIONS!!! on the safe arrival of Sophia & Aria! They are gorgeous! And I agree with Murph, poor DH, in about 13 years he won't be able to say a word right for 3 weeks of the month :rofl:
Melbel: CONGRATULATIONS!!! on the safe arrival of Connor! Hope you are enjoying your babymoon!
:hooray: :leap: :loveshower:
Smithy: Once again I take my hat off to you! After everything you've been through to still emerge this smiling, happy, kind caring person is amazing! And I agree 100% with you, these old blokes we've snagged ourselves have made all the difference! They've been there and made their mistakes and learned from them and are ready to be the best husbands and fathers they can be. People give us heaps but I tell you, I wouldn't have it any other way! DH's ex is still dumbfounded at our relationship, she tried to tame him for 28 years and it took me oh about 6 months :lol:
:hello: and :bellyrubs: to everyone else!
Having technical difficulties last couple of days. My computer blew up and I have the laptop but the only way I can access the internet is if the laptop is plugged directly into the modem which means sitting on the floor in the corner of the back bedroom.. not very comfy! Am waiting til there's NOT a 45min+ queue on the phone for tech support :rolleyes: so I can get the wireless fixed! When all that's done I'll update the EDD List!
Hope you all have a great weekend!
Congratulations Melbel and DH on the safe arrival of baby Connor.. Welcome Earthside little man...:happyforyou::happyforyou:
Congrats Melbel Welcome baby Connor.
Congrats BDT you made it :D
Ok this is going to be a bit of a zzzz post. Thank you for all your congrats.
Well we made it one week home.
Little bub is adorable I could just look at him all day.
Sorry been MIA but lack of sleep, washing and baby watching have been the order of the day.
Bubs is finally putting on weight and is now BF fully no more formula (fingers crossed) he is sleepy so I have to unwrap, cold flannel burp to get through a feed but he then sleeps for a few hours (3-4 horuly feeds) which is a good sign.
We exchanged our bassinett for one that has wheels so we can rock him, which seams to settle him right away :D
Hope everyone's pg is going well, will keep popping in to see the anouncements.
:)
More congratulations! I can't imagine who is top of the list now....? Such a run of babies. Thanks for letting us know how you are getting on Poppy, it really puts my mind at rest knowing that the first week isn't some sort of purgatory.
Sorry, an AFM as I need my mind put at rest. I've moved suddenly a couple of times today, a sort of combined turn and lift (had people over and was dog managing) and my belly has been really painful. Not for long and if I sit still it quickly goes away. I've not had any bleeding or anything. Never had this before. Is it just movement related pain? Scared the bejeezus out of me. Hopefully this pain is normal. (Can't believe I can use hopefuly and pain and normal in the same sentence)
Also can't believe I've just stayed up to watch a tv programme finishing past midnight. This is very late for me .....DH who has had a little too much vino collapso has been asleep in the rocking chair snoring for an hour :shhh:
LM try not to stress too much, it's probably that round ligament pain we've mentioned. I used to get it a lot, if I stood up too quick, when I coughed or sneezed too hard and often if I twisted while getting out of the car or out of bed.
HI All hope everyone is doing well.
Well we finally got home on wed. Eight days in hospital was brutal. Things went a little pair shaped (typing this one handed as i put Xavier to sleep) after the blood transfussion i started feeling much better I am still a little fragile and need to make sure i dont do to much but i am ok. But master Xavier lost 14% of his birth weight so they would not let us go home. Because he was considered prem (by one day) he was slightly jaundised and very sleepy so feeding although he new what to do he would fall asleep all the time. Eventually he put on some weight and we could go home. He is starting to wake up more and is feeding better.
My pelvis is much better and I am able to do more houssework now.So not much time to chat anymoe as "I have no excuses now. Oh have to have a little brag I am 6kg lighter than when I fell pregnant. Yay for morning sickness.
Try and update again soon.
Apols in advance for a totally non pregnancy related post.
I had told the girls in LTTTC TWW but not sure if I mentioned it here. We have a customs dog, you train her for a year and then she goes off hopefully to be protect Australia... well customs have just confirmed her pick up of 22nd Feb. So my baby is going to leave me. And I'm sat here with tears pouring down my face, I know I'm too emotionally attached and I always knew she was going to go but it's so hard, she's been my companion for a whole year. DH calls her my shadow, she follows me everywhere. She's been my first baby :cry:
:clap: oh LM good on you sweety what a great job i bet you have done with her and i personally thank you as we really do need good dogs like this ..youll miss her hun but always remeber what a great job youve done and very soon you will have another bubba
a big hello to all my beauties today
Oh no sweetheart :(
I lost my sweet furbaby on Xmas day. (still think about the support and kindness I recieved here during that trauma - thanks again guys) And I know the pain. You gave your lil one such a wonderful start and although its going to be horrible you will be ok in a little while. You just have to hang in there. Which is something us LTTCers are good at. I am guessing they will give you lots of updates and maybe you will be able to visit?
Big hugs, I am thinking of you.
Sammie
London Miss~ That pain is normal.It is just your body/ligaments stretching.I get it down both sides and sometimes across my abdomen when i get up quickly,cough or sneeze.
Try not to worry.Hey do you have movements yet??:)
I havnt been receiving any emails so i had to find belly belly and log in.Strange!
On friday i ordered a home doppler from 'first beats' and received it this morning.After watching the info dvd regarding sounds,i listened to my peanuts heartbeat!! Its is sooo good.So reassuring! It took me weeks to decide whether to hire one or not and now that i have it im not sure,i will send it back! Haha.
You should only use it no more than twice a day so my mum and dh are going to have a listen tonight when they both are here together.
Im also excited to say that i think we have finally decided on names....well,i have.:redface: I just need to let dh know.LOL
Oh LM :hug: :hug:
I remember you mentioning the possibility before on the Furbabies thread. You poor thing, I understand how heartbroken you must be. They really are like our children aren't they, and most people don't understand the connection, and I think it's a whole lot more when people have been in our type of situation, they're there for us through the worst times. I know my world revolves around my furbaby, whenever my parents "babysit" for a weekend I cry when I have to leave her. I can't even fathom the thought of losing her. They all think I'm nuts LOL.
Thinking of you hun and sending lots of :hug: and if you need to talk about it you know where to find me.
MelBel - congratulations and welcome to baby Connor!
LondonMiss - I have been having similar pains. Sometimes they are more pronounced but I just try to ignore them knowing that my ligaments and everything are in the process of stretching. Sorry to hear you are losing your customs dog. It is hard to loose something you are emotionally attached to but I am sure you have done an amazing job in preparing her for a very important role.
Loula - welcome! While there are lots of lovely ladies having there babies at the moment there is still quiet a few of us that are still in the early stages.
Lise - Congrats on reaching 20 weeks and I hope your scan went well today. Are you happy with the change of provider? Where they better than the last one?
Smithy - wow it sounds like you have been through some tough stuff and so glad to hear that you have now found happiness with Coops and baby Charlie. If you want to be able to access Facebook you could set up a fake account. I know a guy who isn’t meant to have an account due to the nature of his work but he has a fake name and random picture on his account. His friends and family know it’s really him but stops anyone else who he doesn't want to know.
BDT - I got to see your photo’s on the weekend. You were absolutely radiating! You and DH look so happy and what beautiful little girls.
Poppyfairy - great to see that everything is falling into place for you. I have found a million people will try and tell you what you should and shouldn’t be doing but I figure just do what works best for you.
Wantbaby - having a Doppler must be amazing.... I thought about buying one but DH talked me out of it… being our first baby there seems to be so many other things to buy.
AFM - went baby shopping on the weekend...... I got lots of ideas but it also got sent the mind boggling! I think we will get the Mountain Buggy swift for our pram… it will be so nice when I have made all the decisions and get to order everything!
Hello to all you other lovely ladies!!
