Theresa: glad to have you back. sounds like you've had a rough trot with your health. I hope you're feeling better soon and thanks for the congratulations, it is so exciting, that I get to share it all with you girls.
Megan: try not to fret, ttc will be here before you know it. I remember deciding to hold off on ttc due to my health and it seemed like forever for next ttc to arrive and look here I am with a BFP!
Rozzie: Haven't you been busy. Was it fun setting up the nursery etc. It sure sounds like it. I can totally understand the irritability bit as well. It just seems like no matter what people say, they say the wrong thing. I think it is the energy they say it with that makes the difference. if someone I know loves me and has been supportive re losing Charlie says something I am usually ok regardless of what they say. But if someone says something, even if it is nice, and I know they just don't get it, then they **** me off!
Cindee: Good to hear from you too and again, thanks for the congrats!
Tildy: I have to say that your mother sounds absolutely terrible. I complain about mine, but I think yours takes the cake. You should stick to you guns though and do whatever you think is best for you and your family.
Laney: All these sickies, what's going on! Hope you're feeling better. I know exactly what you mean about DH being away. I have already read mine the riot act. He has only missed 2 OB appointments but they just happened to be the 2 where I found out about the miscarriage and then about Charlie. So needless to say I am a little paranoid about him not being there for anything.
Jo(LM): thank you so much for sharing that poem. It was so beautiful and really sums up the whole ttc, next pregnancy, next baby issues. I am keeping a journal for my kids about this whole process and just life in general. it is written to them and just explains what's going on with DH and I at different times and why we make the choices we do. I hope someday it might help them understand our choices and help them learn from our experiences.
Teagz: how funny your DH thinking you would be keeping a BFP secret. I'm not sure it would be possible to keep such a thing. I am sure some women could but not many!! I hope you get what you are looking for out of Jayvan's test results and will be joining the ttcers soon. It is a good idea to wait though. It has really given me peace of mind, even though at the time when I put ttc off for a bit it nearly killed me. Now I know I have done all I could.
AFM well I went out yesterday and bought 2 of the most gorgeous organic cotton baby outfits. i really felt like I needed to just to cement in my confidence. With Charlie I did nothing because I was so anxious right from day one. I am determined this time will be different.
That is not to say I have not been having moments of completely freaking out. I just have to give myself a stern talking to when that happens.
I spoke to OB's office today and have my first appointment booked for 12 Feb. I should be just under 7 weeks and get to see a heartbeat if nothing else. Making the appointment made me feel so sick with anxiety but its a bit like the ttc thing. It is so hard to do but if I don't do it then i won't get the reassurance of seeing that my little one is ok.
Oh girls, I am just so happy that soon I will have a little baby in my arms. I am sorry that some of you are still waiting to ttc and get your BFP's but once you do it is so worth it. It just feels like such a miracle and it is such a lovely surprise during the day when I have forgotten I am PG and then all of a sudden remember. Thank you all for your support and well wishes, I wish you all your much longed for earth angels as soon as possible.
