It is so good to hear from you! I don't have the courage to read the BAs so was hoping you would drop by and let us know how you are going. Congratulations on your beautiful little boy - how I long to be tired because of looking after a newborn - you are so very lucky What name did you give to him? I hope you are all healthy and getting stronger by the day. Happy first Easter to Beata's baby boy!
Hi Cheryl! Thank you so much for your warm congrats hun. We named our man Cameron Oliver Mario, my DF liked Cameron and I liked Oliver and we used Mario as that's my dad's name. I feel so blessed hun, and believe me, when it's your turn, you'll take all the tiredness, soreness, and everything else with a smile on your face! Maybe not the sleep depravation...lol.
Have a Happy Easter hun and hang in there! I still stalk you guys (hope you don't mind), maybe not as often now, but I do, just waiting anxiously and excitedly for the next BFP!!
Big hugs!
PS Happy Easter to everyone else! Now we all have a good excuse of stuffing our faces with chcolate! hehehe.
After taking some time out and re-evaluating things we are full steam ahead ttc #2. I am currently CD 12 with a scan yesterday showing that I have three follies maturing (2 x 12mm and 1 x 10mm) showing that I responded to the 150mg dose of clomid. YAY!!! Another scan on Tues to see where they are up to and to be triggered if ready to O.
Beata - So happy that you are settling in well with your little Cameron Congrats again!
Berry - Congrats on little Liam - hope all is well so far
Blessed - Well done on your exams - all of your hard work is paying off!!!
Chez - How are you? Hope all is on track for you.
Hi to everyone else - Im sorry there is so many now I will have to try to keep up!
Aries...welcome back hun. Lovely to hear you are back on the bus! It surely is a bus in here in now which is both sad and a blessing i guess. Too many people in a similar boat but then more support than ever. Good Luck for this cycle...I hope the Easter Bunny brings you more that just chocolate eggies.
Beata, Wow hun. I am so glad you came by here too. CONGRATULATIONS! A very strong name. So very happy for you. I hope we all follow in your footsteps. I hope it all went well and are feeling well too.
Love and best wishes
Just dropping in everyone to say Happy Easter and long live Chocolate! Feeling a bit gloomy and pensive today. My self induced pregnancy shock therapy is having a bit of an affect atm. I am feeling a bit sad for myself and altogether left out. I hate having left those blissful and innocent feelings behind. I get a bit carried away with celebrating everyone else and forget to leave time for me. It is funny, i know all of this sounds entirely contradicting... but i just want to be alone right now. I get angry that i feel i must be normal for everyone around me. I am convinced of it too i guess. I love my loved ones but these days i feel a bit resentful that i think of them all, do things for them, celebrate their journey's no matter how hard that might be for me and no one considers me. My mother will ring, but that is for her benefit alone...that is for sure. This does get really lonely too often. The main people in my life right now are pregnant, four of them so if I am to socialize it is with this...pregnancy. You might think, well I have asked for it, and yes i probably have just by being who i am. Taking photos and making things for them. I don't know how to exist without doing these things. I am not sure how to protect myself sometimes and let my spirit live too. I think i need to be thought of once in a while. It is not too much to ask.
Thanks for listening to me vent and pity myself for a moment. I will sort it. xoox
Happy Easter.

Hi everyone!
Sorry I have been MIA. My computer was unable to connect to the internet an entire week! It was terrible!
Beata- Congrats! I am so glad you dropped by!
Aries- welcome back! It is great to hear from you again. Fingers crossed for those eggies!
Chez- Sounds like good news all around. I am glad things are going well with DH. I took to speaking with my DH about the same thing, but it looks like I am not having as much success. I dunno...Maybe I will talk to him again about it later. Sounds liek things are lining up for you. I wish you the best with the IVF!
dory- Sounds like you and your friend might be moving away from eachother, but I have had plenty of friendships that have come back after that. I hope things are going well for you! I have also seen Julie and Julia and thought it was really cute! I have been thinking about you being on bed rest, how are you passing the time? reading and movies?
blessed- CONGRATS on your exam! Hooray!
Gigi1- Your last post made me cry. it truly was beautiful. I understand so much how you feel. Just about all who are close to me are pregnant, and I am trying so hard to support them and be involved in their lives, but every time it feels like a little pin***** in my heart. Last weekend I sat in the shower and cried for about 10 minutes on just how unfair things can be. You are completely allowed to be a little selfish. I really admire how strong you are and am amazed at everything you are doing for your family and friends when I know sometimes there is that little voice saying when will it be my turn? Happy Easter to you and may the chocolate help you feel a little better!
Tenibear and crumpet- Robert (my DS) was due on April 27th. I can feel the date looming. Keep me posted on your plans. right now I just want to take the day off of work and probably stay home and have some good tears. I miss him so much!
AFM- So I took another hpt this morning and it was negative. I am 10 days post ovulation....ARGH! I believe the test. I feel like what are we doing wrong? But I am not as upset as last time around. I guess there is still a little hope till AF arrives, but I really don’t have any. And I was really thinking that this might be it. At least I get to have a beer with my colleagues this afternoon- we are celebrating the beautiful day here with drinks today…..so I wanted to know if I could partake a beer or not… It is crazy though because I thought I really was experiencing some symptoms, but I guess it was all on my head. I have been super emotional lately--I dunno if it is PMS or what but I am crying at a lot of things and feel quite silly a lot of the time. I wonder if I should go and see someone has this happened to anyone else? I am also really debating temping and doing OPK next cycle...our vacation will be in the middle and maybe I just need a little break. I don't know. Any thoughts!
Anyway love to you all!
I missed you when I was stuck being not connected (a horrible way to be)
Since Ianto's due date is on a Friday, I'm starting to think of maybe having a party - but how would I word the invitations?
I want to have a get-together of some sort, because I'd like to do a balloon release (we were supposed to have one at the funeral, but there was a mix-up with who was meant to organise them )
ETA: I had a dream last night about holding a little girl post-birth. Very similar to one I had when I was about 15 weeks with Ianto that ended up similar to real events (I was trying to breastfeed a little boy who wouldn't/couldn't latch)... Could this be a sign of things to come? Stay tuned
Tenibear- I just know you will word it beautifully. You have done such wonderful things for Ianto and this will be equally fitting. It sounds like a lovely idea and I am in awe of your strength to do what is right for you and your DH. I hope your dream is a premonition hun, i really do.
Cmegles- Enjoy your drink hun but i hope you will have a different result in a few days. Is it too early to test for you or do you tend to show up early? I hear you re crying in the shower. My husband seem to be the only person that will see me cry these days. Sometimes not even he will be here though is he is at work. I feel like life sometimes moves on too quickly for me. Everyone forgets...you know what i mean. Anyway, thanks for hearing me and sending me such caring words. I can't thank you enough.
AFM- 3 weeks to go until DD's 1 year anniversary of the day she was born. I have to get an announcement ready for the SANDS mag, we have to decide what we want to do, what cake i will make and what else we can do. A tattoo will happen but not until the budget can pay for it which might be a couple of years. We might get a sketch done of her though, for the wall. Black and White i think. I want something of hers in every room of the house.
Oh today, i really miss her.
Love to all xoxo
