This time next week, a good friend will be in hospital after her c section. She is fearful and trying to accept this but finding it hard. I am trying to get myself ready to go to see her. I thought i might give my visit purpose and take her some food as i know she will also be suffering with hospital food and she loves her food. So I am trying to think of what I can take. If I get there and don't want to go in, at least i can leave food.
Anyway, that is today. This thread is so busy now, it is too much for me to leave it a couple of days...i struggle catching up.
Love to all hm oxxo
Blessedatlasst - yay Well done! You must be thrilled! Make sure you treat yourself for all of your hard work!
Dory and Gigi - thanks for your kind words. I agree, we do have to learn to treat ourselves better and put ourselves first sometimes. I find recognising when I need to do that is the hardest. I will endeavour to do that more often.
Crumpet and TeniBear - I find the build up to my EDD was very hard so I understand what you are going through right now. We decided to mark Ryan's EDD with a quiet picnic beside a lake in the late afternoon. We watched the sun going down and cast a flower into the water and said some quiet words and then sat there and watched the flower float away in the fading sunlight. We took some photos to remember the spot (we were in France) and to remember the day. We have shown my ILs who were respectful of the time, but no-one else. I guess it should be as public or private an event as you want - whatever feels right. I know some other ladies who released balloons with messages written on them, and written their baby's name in the sand at the beach. I hope you both find some way to recognise the day and be at peace with it.
Hi to Samcougar, aries, my2boys, charlieb, angelicdragon and everyone else.
AFM - had my GP appointment today. Pap smear was done but as I'm CD5 there was a tiny bit of blood which might render it invalid. If that happens I have to wait 3 to 6 months before another one! Oh well. Came out of the Dr's office with a handful of paperwork - more b/t day 1 and 21 usual tests, plus referrals for two specialists - one for IVF and one for a colonoscopy - yay! I get one done every 5 years because of a family history of bowel cancer so my GP has recommended getting it done before starting IVF again. I'm lucky that my GP is lovely - she was very encouraging about trying IVF again, so that was good. DH even made it to the appointment which was nice. DH hasn't had a drink since last Saturday night - he is such a wonderful caring man. I really hope that what Dory says is right and that even if he can't do this all of the time that it may make a difference!
Anyway, time to order pizza for dinner - our treat to ourselves for such a busy week!
Take care all and have a happy Easter! I hope the Easter bunny brings a fertilised egg to all of us
oxo
Enjoy you pizza hun and aren't our men just gorgeous. Glad all is being sorted for you. That is a bucket load of tests and I hope they all go well. You are a trooper!
xoxoox
I'm sorry I've been MIA, but have been so tired lately with the new wee man in my life. But every time I whinge to anyone about it who is willing to listen, I remind myself how lucky I really am!
So, I've dropped in to say hello and to say that I often think about you ladies and I pray that soon you'll be seeing those two lovely lines!!
Welcome to the newbies, and I'm so sorry you have lost your precious angels I hope your stay in here is a very short one.
So I'm spreading loads of baby dust and sticky vibes in here, and hope this group gets smaller and smaller!
Well done! You must be thrilled! Make sure you treat yourself for all of your hard work!
I hope your stay in here is a very short one.
