TM - congratulations on the BFP! I am so very happy for you. We have all come a long way since we first met a year ago. Praying that you have a stress-free and happy pregnancy.
Thanks everyone for your support surrounding Nathaniel's anniversary tomorrow. It is nice to know that I have people who understand that having Anna does not mean I am now 'ok'.
The OB appointment went well, ok to TTC in Jan, just need to make sure the geneticist doesn't raise any issues to be concerned about. We also got our prelimanary autopsy results for Jasmine. The heart was extremely bad, worse than we thought,quite a long list of problems. OB said it definelty would have been fatal, so that has really reasurred me that we made the right decision. There were also other issues with the lungs & bowel, but the heart was the major one. Full report takes 6-8 months. I feel more at peace now knowing there was nothing I could do.
Thinking of you tomorrow Katie. Jo your sunrise photo's sound lovely, nice way to remember your angel. Thinking of everyone hoping for BFP this month! Catch-up would be good, I live in East Sydney.
Hi everyone just a quick one before my date with surgery tomorrow, I am feeling quite positive about it all, but still concerned as well.
Jo - Your sunrise sounded beautiful and Jack's butterfly just choked me up.
Katie & Laney - big hugs for both of you tomorrow.
Rozzie - I hope you are doing OK
TM - Welcome back and congrats!
Hi to everyone else, I will come back and do some more personals when I get back, I need to crawl into bed, I am dog tired. Here is to some BFPs soon!!
hi girls!
i just really quickly wanted to get on and let katie, Laney and Hgirs know that i am thinking of you all today and hope that you all get through it ok!
Our friends who had their baby 6 weeks prem and named him Jack came in yesterday (have told you the story previously) to say hi. As soon as i saw them and then the pram i started to really stress out and the more i tried to act normal the more shaky and nervous and stressed i got. Worse -i was with a customer at the time also! Their baby is beautiful but i got teary and then after they left i went out back for a quick bawl.
The dad sent a message to DH last night and asked if i was ok and they had'nt intended to upset me but i said to Dan it is too close to when i was due to having madison and too close to Jack for me not to be emotional so just let them know i was happy to see them (which i genuinely was) but it also killed me to be so happy for them when we had lost so much.
hammi -testing...well, i have nothing at the moment BUT my body has been (TMI coming) beyond badly constipated so have'nt tested. the last 4 days have been hell and yesterday my poor belly blew up like a balloon and felt ready to pop. So with your eyes and my poor insides we are a great pair right now!!! My body is quite sensitive to something i eat and so i do get a bit but this lately has been horrible! any suggestions to help...anyone???
xx jo
Happy angelaversary Nathaniel. I hope you are safe and happy where you are and thank you for your beautiful gift of hope in the form of Anna. Hugs to you Katie. I can only imagine that having Anna in your arms would intensify your sense of loss because now you really know what you don't have with Nathaniel.
Happy angelaversary to Parker. I hope you enjoy blowing out your birthday candle with Nathaniel. Please guide the little baby in your mummy's tummy safely into this world so that you parents will have an earth baby to cuddle. Hugs to you Laney.
Good luck today Helen. I would be as nervous as anything but you knew in your gut that you wanted this done and you do know your own body best. Hope it's not too painful. Eek.
Jo, we are a sad pair! Maybe it's the stress of TTC? I didn't think I was but your body always knows even if your mind is in denial. How about a fruit and vegie detox where you eat nothing but fruit and vegies for 24hrs? That should purge! I imagined what it was like for you to see that couple and their baby and I feel sick in my stomach for you. Of course you're happy for them but how can you not look at that child and not think of your own little Jack and his button nose. Hugs!
Hi and hugs to everyone.
Oh Diana, meeting next year is a good idea. Maybe we'll be celebrating BFP's then!
Megan, I?m happy you feel more at peace after the results. It does seem you made the right decision for Jamsine even though it was heartbreaking for you. that January is your month.
Katie & Laney, big hugs to you. Hope Anna gives you lots of little smiles to ease a little bit of the pain today and Laney, hope baby kicks you to tears!
Helen, hope all went well today and can?t wait to hear from you.
Oh Jo, I just want to send you the biggest ever. I know it would have been extremely difficult to see your friend?s baby. You are very brave (well on the outside at least).
Sorry you haven?t been feeling well, can you take a laxative to at least help ease the pain? There are some safe ones to take like Metamucil or Coloxyl just in case
Lan, really looking forward to meeting you and Megan and I?m picturing us all bringing our sticks to show each other our BFPs!
jo76: sounds like your weekend was healing (and then you had to see your friends' baby, sigh). Best of luck.
but as for your *ahem* TMI problem--prunes, raisins, apple juice and if that doesn't work, coffee with a chocolate bar...
