Thanks Laney for posting the link. The tiny little thing, it's so heart wrenching seeing her with all those tubes, but it sounds like she is doing well, and I know you've been here before Cindee. What a little love she is. Love her nursery as well, so sweet!

Cindee - Congratulations on the birth of Miranda Eva. I wish you both every success and sending lots of love to you. The NICU and SCN staff are amazing people with lots of experience you are both in great hands. She is so sweet.
All my love

Hi girls,
Just a quick post to say thank you again for all your kind and beautiful thoughts for yesterday. The day went well and we released the balloons for Joshua which was just beautiful. Each person wrote a little message for him on their balloon, it was really touching, and we watched them fly into the sky for good 5 minutes until we couldn't see them anymore. The sky was clear with only a few clouds so the blue and white ballons were clearly visible.
Will post some personals later :)
Love

Laney wow you are going along so well hun. i do know hwo scary it can still be there. With thi sone we have had a scare all along. First with DS as the NT came back high so we had CVS done (worry over m/c rates and results but HE is fine), then a had placenta previa which has now moved but then he was breech. At some time he turned in the last week and is now presenting just fine although already 5lb4oz by scan measurements.. however he has the cord around his neck which is how Annabelle died.
it never seems to be anything going right.
Tildy I hope you are allowed to take the early maternity leave. beleieve me you will appreciate it!
I had better go see what Ds4 is up to with the icy poles.
hugs
Jude

Cindee -- super congratulations on Miranda's entry into the world! I hope her stay in the hospital is calm and healthy.
Yup Jude, I managed to move my maternity leave up a bit. I'll be on full time leave from February 28, and until then I'm working half time (or as much as I feel I can/need to get my coworkers up to speed on how to do my job, but I feel I've trained them up really well already). I'm sooo looking forward to it. Today I'm going to the maternity ward though to have my kidneys checked, because they say the pain I've been having sounds like there's fluid collecting around my kidneys, and I've been sleeping just 2-3 hours per day because of it. Let's hope I don't nod off behind the wheel on the way to the hospital. :P

Just dropping in quickly to do a bit of a book recommendation!
I remember a while ago someone mentioned something about finding ways to get a boy or a girl?
My mum gave me a book called "The Sexual Odds" By Dr Ron Wells. It's quite old (as least 18 years old as she brought it while trying to conceive my brother!) But it's quite interesting... even if you don't care what sex you end up with I'd definately give it a squiz ;)

Hi Girls,
Cindee, I hope Miranda is doing well. Sending you big hugs, and kisses for your little girl xxxxxx
Helen, I know what you mean about Cooper's ashes. I'm not sure now if I will ever be able to bury Joshua's ashes. I've decided from the start that when it's my turn (which I hope is a very long time away, LOL) I want his ashes to be burried with me.
Congrats on your huge milestone with your bub! It must be a relief, hun, I can imagine. Big hugs coming your way :hug:
Diana, how are your injections going? Only a few more sleeps, how exciting!! Haven't been doing double jabs have you?? ha ha. How are you feeling in general??? Thinking of you always hun, hope you get your BFP very very soon :pray:
Nae, congratulations on officailly TTCing hun!!!!! I know what you mean about just relaxing a bit more and going with the flow. It will take the pressure off that's for sure. Sending you bucket loads of baby dust hun and here is to a BFP for you soon :crossfingers:
Teagz, do you think you've made a bub last nite?????? How many times did you DTD?????? haha. What cycle day are you today? Baby dust and sticky vibes coming your way miss :pray: PS Too bad I can't try any of the possies from your book........have been off DTD for 4 weeks now, it's killing me. 2 weeks to go, I don't know how I will survie.....
Tildy, very glad you've moved up your ML, very glad hun. I'm sorry to hear you've got kidney trouble, hopefully they'll fix you up in no time :pray:
Dee, sending you big hugs and good luck on 24th for your transfer. You must be very excited now!!!! How the time just flies...
Laney, hoping all is well with bubbie, you've come such a long way hun. Very very proud of you :dance:
How is everyone else doing???????????? Have been rather quiet in here lately....big hugs to all my friends :grouphug:
Also big hello and hugs to all our wonderful mummas to be soon :grouphug:!!!!!
AFM, I feel such relief my EDD has come and gone. I feel so good to have my litle boy here. I bought him a blue bunny rabbit holding a little bunny rug himself! So cute. I thought because I haven't really had the chance to get anything for Joshua before, that was my little pressie for him on his due date.
Also, I am still getting weird pain around my uretus/ovaries since around the 10th. It feels like mild period cramps and low back pain (not enough to take medication but still there...). I'm seeing my doc on 27th, so I will ask him what it might be.... I might also post on the c/s thread and ask the girls there what sort of pain they had (if any) 4 weeks after their c/s. Well, I must go now, off to Bunnings, my favourite store in the world!
Love and big hugs
Beata xxxxxxx

Beata, Huh? You're comment has confused me XDD Def no babies last night as there was no DTD to little ol' me! (another reason why I hate AF!) Lan, on the other hand had better of got her funk on for V-Day! hehe!! She's CD15 today!
I'm only on CD06 today, and, i'm hoping it's just me being paranoid but I think i can feel the nigglings of thrush again. I don't understand why I keep getting it. If it's that I think I'm going to have a huge tantrum because it means I'll miss out on a bub for sure this month again and I'll have to wait another month, again! Sorry for the TMI.
6 weeks no special hugs, Beata!!! You poor girl! ;)
I had a friend ask me yesterday how I had gotten photos and foot prints of jayvan. She couldn't for the life of her get her head around how we got photos of him... I don't think she realises that they are actual babies when they are still inside of you! She was flabbergasted and kept saying she was so sorry but she "just didn't understand how we could possibly have photos, he would have been to small" :doh:
Hope everyone had a lovely Valentines. I'll come back and do some proper persies later... we're just in the middle of drilling a bore.:rolleyes:
-
Beata - hun I am not sure if you are due for a visit from AF but I still get some weird crampy type sensation (not pain as we know pain) where my c-sec scar is especially around AF time and O time. Also I have muscle movement for ages as my body started to go back to normal from being pregnant. Definately mention it to your dr.
Love that you got Joshua a little pressie it sounds so cute.
Teagz - thrush is horrible - get onto it early, get into cotton undies and keep your fingers crossed that its not.
Dee81 - it can be so stressful, :hug: Sounds like you have a wonderful supportive DH who really understands how you are feeling and what to do to cheer you up.
AFM -I have a little story for you all - bit of background first, some of you may or may not know but we scattered Nikita's ashes on our farm and can see the place from our living room. It was important for us to release her ashes here at home firstly because I needed to bring her home and secondly we wanted to send her on her way (so to speak) from a place filled with love and give all those close to us a private opportunity to help send her with their love as well. We have built a big garden in her memory next to our house.
Anyway back to the story, I was outside with DH doing gardening stuff and was heading back into the house and for some reason I turned around and looked back at her garden and this feather came from that direction blew right up to my face then kinda did this U turn and blew off in the direction where we released her ashes - granted it was windy but this feather came right up to my face then went off in another direction. it was weird and at the same moment the feather came up I immediately thought of Niki.
:grouphug: love to all.

Teagz, so sorry hun :doh:, I must have mixed you and Lan up...I must be very frasturated ATM as I've had no action for AGES. This was the first Valentines Day for a very long time with no 'special hugs' (I love it!!). So, you're on CD6, I'm on CD9, not that it matters what day I'm on, can't do anything anyway...I'm gonna cry!
PS I hope you're not getting thrush, it's horrible. When I get it, and the only time I do is when I take antibiotics, I go straight to that pill you take and it takes 2 days to clear it ( 'deflucan 1' sp?) it's on the ad when the lady starts talking about thrush and the guy that's shooting the commercial runs away as he's embarassed.
So Lan hun, maybe you caught a sticky one???? praying with all my might you did :pray:
Nae, I know for sure Niki is letting you know she is around you. You've had feathers in the house before, so that could be her 'thing'. That is so special, especially because you immediately think of her when little things like that happen. You know, on Joshua's EDD on Thursday, after everyone left, I was sitting outside with DF talking, when I looked on the ground and I saw what looked like a tiny foot print on the brick paver. Now, this is why I think it's definitely Niki around you, when I looked at the 'foot print ' shape, I straight away thought of Joshua. I think that when little things happen and you immediately think of your angel, it's them telling you that they are around you. The other day when I was coming back from the priest when we were arranging Joshua's service, all of a sudden (and I can count on one hand how many times I have heard this song on the radio) Celine Dion's 'Immortality' came on and even though DF was talking to me, I didn't hear anything he said because I was so enveloped in that song. I knew Joshua was making contact with me. So enjoy these moments, as they are so very special, to know our little ones are with us all the time.
As for the pains, I had my AF last weekend on 7/2 so I'm due to O on 20/2 or 21/2 so I really don't know what these pains are. Weird pains hun, like around the scar area. Maybe it's muscle pain as you've said??? Not sure, I'll ask doc in 2 weeks.

Hello girlies, hope you all had a lovely V day. I invited 2 of my single girlfriends for dinner as I really hate that the day makes them feel lonely and unloved... so not really romantic for DH but we had a nice time.
Beata, the little bunny sounds so cute. Someone stole this cute little blue teddy we had at the cemetary for Sebastian and a beautiful pot plant we had for my mum. The caretakers say it happens all the time. Unbelievable. Love the little footprint hun, I'm sure it was your little Joshua thanking you for his beautiful little memorial. If your pain persists, perhaps give the doctor at call at least to ask if it's normal?
Nae, welcome on board the TTC train with us. I wish you a speedy journey hun. Like Beata, I too agree with the little signs our angels send us. I have told this story before but wanted to share it with you. On Sebastian's EDD, which was also the anniversary of my mum's death, a little orange butterfly came and spent some time in our patio area. It stayed put for about an hour then flew away. We didn't think anything of it at all until that night when my MIL called to say she was in the kitchen cooking when a little orange butterfly flew in and sat on her kitchen bench for a while then flew away. I know it was my little boy and mum coming to visit. So, I believe that feather was your precious little Niki coming to give you a kiss.
Tildy, good to hear you can move your maternity leave forward. Hope the doctor sorts out your pain and all goes well. Ooooo not long now.
Dee, best of luck with your lining scan tomorrow.
I have a blood test and scan tomorrow to check up on what I'm sure will be NUMEROUS GREAT SIZE EGGS and BEAUTIFUL LUSH LINING!
Hello to everyone else. Hope you're all doing well x

Good luck Diana!!
Hi Diana,
I just wanted to wish you best of luck for tomorrow. I am counting on your good fortune to give me much faith this month :)
And though I haven't written much in this forum I just wanted to wish the other girls in here heaps of luck with TTC. Each time I see a positive response, I'll know its just around the corner for me!
Lots of love to all, love Joselyn. xxx

Diana, wishing you lots and lots of good luck for tomorrow, and I know you've grown some GOOD, NUMERO UNO QUALITY eggies, and that your lining is super duper lush. Big hugs hun, I :pray: all goes well for you and let us know how you went!!!!
Dee, also wishing you lots of good luck with your lining scan tomorrow, hope it all goes nice and smooth for you :pray:
Love b xxx
