Welcome Char-leigh! Definitely echo the words of Tegam and CM. Lean as much as you like - friends don't always understand but there will always be someone who's walked in similar shoes in here. I hope the next 8-9 months are completely boring and the BFP is the last unexpected thing in your life for a good, long time!
CM - good luck for your scan! I hope you see a gorgeous little 12-weeker in there.
30 weeks today for me. Nothing too exciting happening here. Back is still awful - the number of times gorgeous DS talks about "back, oww" indicates how much of a whinger I am! I'm playing chicken with him at the moment at the end of the bath. He has to stand up for me to get him out, sometimes it takes a looooooong time, but I wait him out until he gives up - while I can still pick him up, I may not be able to for long and he has to help me out. He is lovely though.
Good luck CLairesmummy! WIll be thinking of you...
Congratulations Char-leigh's mum! I can only imagine the rollercoaster of emotions you are on. I hope being on BB can help you a little and that all goes smoothly with your pregnancy.
Hi everyone-- I am crashing for the moment-- because I recognize some of your names and because you all held my DH and I in prayer for so long after our little son, "Obie," was born. This is an update after his death in April. Thank you-- first of all, to so many who sent us kind notes and thoughtful expressions. We are still grieving but moving forward as you will see.
All of my breastmilk (89+ bottles) were donated to a Children's Hospital in Philadephia, which was such a great thing to be approved, in memory of our son.
Our son's autopsy came back-- it took about 4 months-- and they said that our son suffered from a brainstem injury in utero, with a possible genetic cause, but this was doubtful because he tested genetically normal. I take pride in the fact that he was a little mystery boy-- and adorable to boot!
We learned 2 days ago that his heart valves were needed by another hospital in the US and we are so grateful that he will be able to help someone else.
Now, a second update-- I had an IVF procedure done this past week and, while I am not yet pregnant, today they transferred 2 blastocysts and this is unbelievable given my age. I am on bedrest and need your prayers that the little blastocysts grow healthy. We changed sperm donors from last year, as a precaution, and we are very hopeful. Please pray that my body will heal, that I will have courage (regardless of what happens) and that we can move forward.
S & S: What a mix of sad and wonderful news, thank you for your generous donations, it's nice to know that Obie helped other people and babies so much. I'm sure your little mystery boy would be glad to know he helped, and I'm sure he was beautiful!
I'll be praying that your blastys settle in extra safe and sound to end up safe and happy in Mummy's arms, and for courage and hope for the road ahead.

GL to all
AFM ~ think I had my first ever lot of morning sickness this morning
Loops~ Oh darl my heart goes out for you with the MS, I pray you don't get it like I did cause it's cruel. I couldn't even keep water down couldn't eat for a few days and just kept throwing up 24 hours a day. FX you don't get it like that darl, so when do you have your first scan darl?
Thank you for the good luck wishes for me today ladies. Sorry but this is gunna be a all about me post yet again.....lol
As you all know I had my 12 week scan this afternoon I was a ball of nerves and on the verge of tears as I got into the room to have my scan. Bub is measuring 11weeks 6 days and has a heartbeat of 163BPM and all showed to be normal in the scan today. Both DH and I had tears when we walked out of the scanning rooms I just can't believe we have got this far and praying and hopefully we will be holding our precious little bub in 6 months time. I even splurged and bought 2 little outfits for bub today.
S&S, a sorrowful but sweet update. I'm glad Obie's legacy will continue. It doesn't make it make any more sense, but it does help knowing he is helping another baby have a healthy life. And your breastmilk will provide much needed antibodies to some new bubbies. Good luck for your transfer, I hope those blastys settle in for the long haul. Can't wait for a BFP from you!
CM - that is awesome I bet you guys are still in shock - have you watched the DVD a million times yet?
Loops - MS is a pain, but at least you know everything's still good
PM - thanks, I think he's pretty cute too Wouldn't swap him for anything!
Again, nothing happening here This is a good thing. 30 weeks is a good time for pregnancy to be boring
that everything will be fine with bub and hope that virus goes!
everything goes well!
I bet you guys are still in shock - have you watched the DVD a million times yet?
