Hi Lynn - it is nice to know you have such a supportive family around you. It is very important. What lovely things you did for Cooper and your DH. I know it is hard waiting for your BT when you have other things on your mind but we are all hoping the results are what you want.
Bailey - those results are fantastic - when do you have a scan arranged? I wished I was having a second BT as I have no symptoms and am sure I am just imaging things.
Danni - thank you so much for your post - it is lovely that you are all thinking of me. I have been checking up on you all and your bubs look beautiful. I am so pleased you are all doing okay. I did not want to make an official announcement yet as I want to wait for my first hospital appointment to make sure all is okay. I am hoping this pregnancy is an easy one too - thanks again honey.
Klee - hi, hope you are doing okay.

Yours have more than done that my love! 78 Tuesday... should be 156 Thurs. should be 312 Sat. Should be 624 Monday and by Wednesday should be 1248... YOur result has exceeded that!!!!!

Hi all - I can't believe all the exciting news that's getting around in this group! Kinda puts a spring in my step too.
Lynn I loved that poem you posted - not sure I'll stop crying anytime soon.
Well after 4 weeks we finally had some news today ourselves. Our little angel was a boy -they said there were no abnormalities - I'm not sure exactly what that means or what they've tested because I don't see the OB for two weeks.
It was so beautiful to finally find out and I felt really excited to know for the first two hours...I guess it was later that it sunk in that I would never actually hold my little man or smell his skin or bring him home and into the arms of our family.
It may sound strange but, at first, it felt like I was still having a baby boy but I'd just found out the sex - I thought about him playing in the backyard, and thought about what his voice may have sounded like and (dare to dream) what he may have looked like.
In some ways it's such a relief to finally have AN answer (any answer to any question) and in others I feel like my baby boy has gone again.
Now that I'm brave enough to even entertain the idea of TTC - I'm so pleased to once again find you all here supporting each other through the highs and the lows of this journey.
I'm going to have two due dates this year 17 July and 26 Sept - and both will pass without them - my goodness this journey is not for the faint hearted!
With love to all where ever you are on the journey...Georgie

Hi everyone,
Flowerchild - Thanks for the reassurance. I feel 100% better hearing that. I had it in my head that the numbers needed to double every 24 hours so I was a little concered. Thanks for setting that straight.:D How is Col doing?
Tess - I think I felt a little bit of MS this morning on my way to the medical center. I had just brushed my teeth, and the tast of toothpaste has always made me feel off when I am pregnant. It was only for about 3 minutes, but I am pretty sure that is what is was.
GKS - I am happy for you that you finally got your results. I understand that even though they are not always good news, it is good to have some answers.
Mel - I dont think the Chaser is on tonight...I am not sure why, but it's not coming up on the program.:( Edited to add" I think it actually tomorrow night...derr, preggo brain already!!
Hello to everyone, hoping you are all well.

Georgie: Big hugs sweetie. I am so glad that you found our you had a son. You have every right to feel special about that because no matter what, he is, and always will be your son. Are you going to name him? I hope you are Ok, you sound like you have had an emotional time of late but welcome formally to the TTC gang.
Lynn: I am sorry babe that yesterday was really tough. It sounds like you did some really nice things to remember your little boy. The poem for DH was just so touching. I hope Lunch with Dream was good and that your belly isn't too upset from stuffing yourself silly.
Deb: What a worry about the Parvo illness. I really hope this is just a nasty scare. I don't blame you for being angry, I would be furious with that Child's mother. I have everything crossed that tomorrow's results put your mind at ease.
Bailey: Whoo Hoo on the results hun, they are just perfect.
Well sorry for the short post, I am just not in a good place at the moment. Having a bad few days and feel like my stress levels are getting a bit beyond what I can handle. Nothing in particular, just a combination of things. Hopefully this dark clouds shifts soon because I am just in a fowl mood.
High to everyone else.
Big love
Spring

Georgie - big :hug: to you. I can imagine the emotions you are feeling right now. It is good to hear answers to questions that you have but it can also bring up so many other questions. I'm sure all our angels have welcomed your little boy and they are all playing peacefully amongst the stars. Are you going to name him?
Bailey - OMG! I must apologise I gave you the wrong info and probably made you stress for nothing! I am so sorry. I thought the levels doubled every 24 hours :doh: Luckily Deb was here to save my butt. Again I'm really sorry, I feel terrible. I am sooooo happy that your levels are high, little ???? is growing beautifully. Do you have a name?
Spring - big :hugs: to you. It is such an emotional roller-coaster isn't it. If you need to chat, you know where I am. Is it possible to eliminate some of the stress? Perhaps look at yoga? Thinking of you.
Mel - how are you going babe? Hope AF is treating you better now. Thinking of you :hugs:
Tess - thank you for thinking of me. How are you feeling?
Deb - keep praying!!! The closer it gets the scarier it gets. I just feel so sick in the stomach tonight - I think it is because I am just so worried. I have to keep myself busy tomorrow so that the day goes really fast. I think if it is a nice day I might take my girls for a walk and then go out into the garden. I'm going to email you about something if you could check your emails - thanks.
I hope everyone else is well. Take care

We are not sure about whether to name our little man - mainly because I had decided that if he was a boy we would call him Charlie - but now that we know he was - it's kind of hard to officially name him and let him go (maybe that sounds strange).
At the 13 week scan he was dancing around and had these very sticky out ears and we joked that he looked like a little elfin boy or a little pixie girl - so for today we just given him the playful name of "Elfie" - just until we decide.
Our DS and DD were happy to know too - but DS instantly demanded the 5 cents he'd bet with his sister while I was pregnant that our baby would be a boy.
Spring, Lynne, Bailey, Flowerchild, Tess- I'm really thinking of you. I'm going to practise all my positive energy (I'm reading the book The Secret) for you all and your growing little ones and will focus on a loungeroom (cyber loungeroom that is) filled with us all holding our dreams come true.
Life is about putting ourselves out there - TTC or getting through a pregnancy is never easy but at least everyone here is living their lives and not being too scared to dream and hope.
DH and I decided last night that whatever decision we made about the future would NOT be made because we were too scared to risk the pain we've felt for the last few years - we want hope to take the lead in our decisions - not fear! Well that's today's resolution anyway.
So if i had a magic wand I'd sprinkle some hope over us all tonight - Georgie
-
Georgie - i am glad you got an answer and found out that you had a boy - it is some relief - and Elfie sounds so cute if you do not decide to name him (officially). I have missed a few posts lately but do they know why you lost your little man ?
Lynn - i have my fingers crossed for you that AF stays away - a good sign already. One more sleep for you honey and i hope you get the biggest BFP ever seen ! I am being hopeful for a good result -i know the hours are drifting by so slowly for you though....
Bailey - bring on the morning sickness - do you want some of mine ? Glad to hear your results are shooting up - i have never done continuous bloods tests before to check levels. Is good to have peace now that MIL is gone - but it was fine while she was here - well not too bad anyway.
Deb - i am sure everything will be ok with Col - but it is frustrating when there are sick kids around and what effect it can have on us....we are so fragile and we all know how hard it is to get these babies home...
Spring - relax -you are number one ok - dont' try to stress about other things and try to palm them off (if at all relevant and you can). Hope you are doing well.
Tess - how are you feeling ? Any ideas about locations for a catchup ?
Mel - i hope you are doing ok and that AF leaves you very shortly for a long long time.
Hi to everyone else.
Well finally feel a bit better with the MS. Spent one day in bed feeling like i was going to throw up. I just keep thinking this must be a good sign it must be a good sign...But it keeps coming back when i need to cook dinner - not good - so i have just been having toast. And today i feel like a Big-Mac ! I don't even eat Macca's and that is what i feel like...why ???
Tomorrow i have the NT scan - hope it all goes well - i think it will...have to be confident a little...
HAve a nice day everyone and take care.
-
Quick visit - good luck today Tommysmum on the NT scan.... I will be thinking of you and looking forward to hearing how it all went. :hug:
-
Why is today going soooooooooooooooo slow! :(
I can't believe my 2ww is nearly over. I am so nervous about tomorrow. I hope they don't make me wait all day for the results. I think I will camp outside their office and stalk them so they can give me my results straight away! LOL!
Tommysmum - I hope your scan goes well. Thinking of you :hug: Wow it is going to be a big day in here waiting on results isn't it?!?!?!?
Georgie - you are so right. This is a difficult path, TTC or pg but we all have a dream and we will do anything to get it. Elfie is a beautiful name :hug:
Deb - thinking of you :hugs: I hope you get the results back from the boys bt and everything is ok. I can imagine this wait is so painful and frustrating. Little Col is a fighter and I'm sure he will be strong to get through this. Take care of yourself :hug:
Well I have just made cushions for the lounge.................what else can I do to fill in my day and make it go faster??????
-
lynn - i need some curtains, any chance?, i think the neighbours are sick of seeing the nudie runs lol
deb - let us know the results when you get them, hope col and your friends kid are both okay

Tommysmum - Hope the scan goes well
Hi to everyone else!

I just wanted to pop in quickly and wish Lynn all the best for tomorrow's BT. I will be driving to Canberra tomorrow, leaving about lunch, so I won't be able to check my email until Sunday. If you want to share your news with me I'd love for you to text, but if you just don't feel like it then I'll have to wait until Sunday to hear your wonderful news.
I wish for you and DH all the wonderful blessings the world can bring and a magical :bfp:
With evey little bit of good luck and :bluedust: I can muster.

Hi girls -
Spring - Big :hug: for you, I am sorry you are having a rough time. If I can do anything for you, you know that you can let me know. I will have to give you a buzz soon, havent chatted for a while. Let me know when your gonna be free. By the way, when are you gonna get MSN so we can chat to you online? ;)
Lynn - I can imagine how frustrated and anxious you are getting. I have been thinking about you and I so hope you get a :bfp: tomorrow! I will be at work so you have to text me and let me know. Call me a freak but I actually feel a little anxious for you :lol: BTW, that poem is just beautiful.
Bailey - Still no m/s? Bummer about Chasers! I saw the W-Coke E one though - LMAO :p
Tommysmum - Good luck with your NT scan, I am sure everything will be just perfect.
Deb - How you feeling? Have you had any results from your friends child yet? How stressful!
Georgie - I am sure you have very mixed emotions finding out your angel is your son :hugs: I do hope that you take some comfort in the knowledge he IS your son.
Hi to everyone else.
Not much to say (I know, I know - its a first) except that AF has been messing with my head this month. Arrived Sat night, really heavy Sunday (as you all know) and hardly anything Monday and nothing at all yesterday - and hello she's back again today with full force grrrrrrrrr!
Anyway, ciao for no.
Mel
-
Oh Spring have a nice time with DH in Canberra - I hope he can help make you feel a bit better :hug:
-
Hey girls,
Lynn - Good luck tomorrow, I am hoping and wishing and praying there is a BFP at the end of the day.
Tommysmum - Good luck with your scan tomorrow, I can't believe it is already time for that. Go on, have that Big Mac!
Mel - My last AF was exactly like that one you described, I usually have them heavy first 2 days then trailing off for the next 3 and my last one was medium first day, heavy the second and then almost nothing from day 3. Weird! How are you doing anyway? When do you have your coit test (inset Kelvin-like giggle here) I have found a fantastic site for you, I'll email it.
Deb - Hear anything about your friends son's BT? Hoping all is well. I am sure Col is wondering what all the fuss is about.
Spring - Enjoy Camberra! Not long til hubby is home though.
gks - Elfie is a sweet name. I hope you are feeling a little better.
Hello to everyone. I hope everyone is well.
-
Hey Kelvin :lol:
My coit (:cryinglaugh:) is 7.30am next Thursday - something to look forward to :rolleyes:
I just want to get it over and done with so that we can work out where to go from here. AF is a B.... huh? Luckily I am working around the corner from my OB so popped in to ask him what he thought and he said no one has exactly the same period every month and also very few people have an exact 28 day cycle without fail every month so that I have to expect some variations in the flow and date of AF - expect???? she isnt even welcome! LOL
Cant wait for the email :D
