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 :D 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 :)

S&S :hug:
CM Yay that is fantastic! I'm so happy for you

Hey everyone I'm back :) I was on a cruise for a few days. I'm so glad to be home though. Will do persies soon.

I'm still paranoid at times. I found myself walking to the car on Tuesday thinking through what I would do if I went into labour early or if the baby was stillborn. Why must I dwell on the negative (that's not going to happen!)??? Most of the time I'm planning for the best, but sometimes the negatives get me down. Maybe it's because so many of my friends have had happy, healthy babies this year and I keep waiting for something to go wrong - and it must be me :( I can't wait to just have this baby and bring it home!
Sorry to bring the mood in here down, just don't have anywhere else to express that thought.

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII EVERYONE!!!
just a quick one - i will respond to everyone tomorrow!
finally home! everything is good, now! nothing too serious just feeding issues/lack of sleep!
hope everyone is well ive missed you guys xox

Hi everyone sorry that i am so far behind and i have not been on life is kinda of out of control right now Honor is crawling and getting into everything and with me being pg its not an easy task.
Wannabeamum~ i kinda of know what your feeling i feel as if i was already given a baby this one is going to be takin away from me. I look at my drs office and see everyone pg and i say that i am going to be the unlucky one to lose this one.
Hard to believe i am 24 weeks today time is flying
-
S&S - Here's hoping for a BFP. Thankyou for updating, I still think of Obie and wonder how you are from time to time. :hug:
Clairesmummy & Loops - I am so thrilled to see you both in here! I too hope the stay is long and boring for you. Congratulations, girls!
AFM - Pretty dang chuffed to see my name still on the recent arrivals list. :) Axel is big and fat, and still terrorizing mummy all night long. What did I sign up for, lol! I'll sneak back out now since I'm not UTD. Just wanted to say hi.
And of course hi to all the other lovelies I shared part of the journey to motherhood with. Much love to all!
-
alish - congratulations on your little girl! Enjoy being a mommy.
Clairesmummy - Congrats on the great scan. How are you doing now? Did you get the results for the test of that bump on your neck?
S&S - I am really glad to see you here, I followed your story when you were expecting Obie because we are from the same age group of "oldies". I was very sad when he passed away, and sad for you that your dream ended like that. I am glad that you are not giving up and trying again. I think we may be from the same area, I am in the Philadelphia suburbs. Keeping my fingers crossed for your blasties, when will you know the results? And do not worry about your age, there were quite a few ladies in their 40s on this forum with success stories.

Thanks for the lovely wishes for today ladies
Scan today was good, exciting but I was so nervous going in. bub is measuring only 6wks 1 day, a little stressed over it because I thought I was further along but then again my cycles can be long and get up to 36days so it is hard to know. I also have a friend that went in for a scan when she thought she was 10 weeks and the same sonographer (or whatever they are lol) told her it only looked like 8 weeks and she has gone on a lot further now. We saw the tiny flicker of the heart beat and it was at about 115 to 120 BPM.
Ive changed my sig - dated it back a little.
Wannabemum ~ I feel exactly the same - trying so hard to be positive but some people that have easy pregnancies etc just dont understand - its near impossible to not be worried. I just pray and FX'd for you that all goes well - one day at a time :)
Forshelby ~ thanks hun and congratulations on your little bundle of joy - or should I say healthy little chubba bub :)
-
Thanks Loops and angel - it just helps to know you're not on your own sometimes you know?
Loops, I'm glad you got to see a little heartbeat - how awesome is that! Even if you aren't as far along as you thought, that heartbeat is an awesome sign :D It may feel a long time until a 12 week scan. If you get nervous in the meantime, my Ob said to me (when I requested a "paranoid Mummy scan") "There is no reason you can't have one every week if it helps your stress levels". So don't be afraid to ask if you want another in a few weeks! I think we all did :D It's nice to see bubba growing well.
This little one's certainly keeping me in the loop as to what it's up to - so much movement! A little dancer is on the way :)
-
Thanks so much Wannabe mum ~ you have really eased my mind a lot and I will take your advice and try get an earlier scan. I have Ob appointment on the 7th Oct so I think I'll try and wait until then and get one done about 10 weeks. I'll try and stay relaxed - as hard as it is.
Certainly your little treasure moving so much should be a good sign as well :D GL hun

clairesmummy: So thrilled for you that everything went well with 12wk scan. Onwards and upwards!
Sunshine and stars: so glad you 'dropped by'. I have thought about you over the months and it's good to know you are moving forward as best you can. What a sweet legacy you and Obie gave the families of other babies with special needs with your gifts of breast milk and Obie's gift too. Glad to hear you are trying for a brother or sister for Obie. I hope your embies grow and flourish. Will look out for more news from you.
WBM: Those 'negative' feelings are soooo normal. I tried to tell myself that plenty of other people have healthy babies and there's no reason I can't be one of them... but you still have moments where the fear breaks through this sort of 'common sense'. It didn't feel real that i could have another baby until DD was here and even now i feel like i'm dreaming sometimes! Anyway, just wanted to say, 'I get it' and 'you can do it!'
Alish: Great to hear from you, welcome home! Sooo exciting! Hope you are not too sore... or heal quickly if you are. Good luck with feeding and sleep issues. The first few weeks are pretty tough in the sleep department but it does get better (i vaguely remember this through the sleep deprived haze i'm currently in!)
Loops: Great news that you saw the heartbeat. Sticky sticky vibes to you!
Angelfish: hope your DP, friends or family are helping you out and letting you rest sometimes. Hard to be pregnant with such a young baby.
AFM: Still stalking for more BA's eg Cheshire. Belly rubs to all! Enjoying my DD2. Cuddly koala with a lovely head of hair and chubby cheeks i can't stop smooching! Tired with ouchy nipples but otherwise good!

possum magic ~ no i dont get any help the only rest i get is if she is sleeping like today we got a nap together for two hours but then there are some days were she naps for 15 to 20 mins. Its very hard but i would not give up one day at all with Honor
-
Popping to see how everyone is going :)
Nothing new happening here, so over it & i really want to meet her but it just doesn't feel like my body is doing anything to get ready.
So i fear meeting her is still 3 weeks off & it has me feeling really down.
-
just popping in to see how everyone is going!
all is well here.
hayden is in a routine already. every 4 hours she feeds (10 mins each boob & top up on bottle - but she is starting to not drink the formula anymore 10-20mls tops sometimes nothing) and self settles. hubby does the 9pm feed (i express) and i go to bed about 8-830. he has been such a good help, i miss him now he is back at work.
had the mchn here yesterday. she made me feel bad about top ups with bottle. i havent been making enough milk for her and she was soooo upset in hospital thats why i did it. sigh. cant win them all.
shes so beautiful.
belly rubs to all.. cant wait to see some BA's ladies!!
s&s - so good to hear from you. i hope you & hubby are well and i think about you often xoxo
