Dear Mel,
Im so sorry you had such a tough day.As far as AF she can just P%#@ right off as this will be the last time she will be here! Nicholas is still with you forever but it must be so very hard to have to put that full stop in place, im sending you great big hugs and hope that the reason for AF is so you can get your lap done and everything sorted and then that baby then came home to you. You have evey right to be disappointed my god be p#@!$ at it, I am I will be kicking her to never land for you.
As far as Vanilla, hair colour.......? I just remeber those poo catchers he use to wear!I have another flash back what about Black Box?
Thinking of you today and hope its not to hard.
Lots of luv Nat xxx:hug:

Sorry Klee I didnt see you till after I posted, Im glad you had a good holiday. Your so right you are a mum and you will get that earth baby soon.
As for knowing what to say to you kids, you just bluff your way through and hope to god that they belive what you are saying and what your saying will have a positive affect on them. There is no instruction book on how to raise them you are just as much in the dark once they are out in the world as to the control you have over them in the womb! You just go with it and you to will be a wonderful mum and know just "what to say" .
Hope you have a good day
Luv Natxx

Hey all,
Hope everyone is well!
I'll pop back in later to do some personals!

Mel: What a tough stinkin day, I hope you are ok hun and for the B@tch to show up at the end, what a cow!!!! Just know that taking down the nursery doesn't mean that Nicholas isn't as close to you as he has always been. You could move house, move states or move across the world and Nicholas would always be with you. Big :hugs:
Klee: Welcome back hun, we missed you. I know what you mean about that smile, it is like a club that I just want to be a part of but seem to have to pay the most expensive membership fee. Don't worry, very soon you too will be giving those knowing smiles.
Deb/Michelle: I don't mean to stalk you but I have been thinking about you all day. Big postive vibes are still coming at ya.
Lynn: How was today going back to the SAN? I hope they treated you gently. Today was a massive step and you should be proud. Oh and I hope that lunch with Phil Kearns was nice.
Dream: you can have all the belly rubs you like. I can't wait to be rubbing yours right back. It was so nice seeing you all again. Now don't get me wrong, I will always be a Queenslander, but knowing that I have met such wonderful women in Sydney makes me feel so much more at home.
Well I am going to hang around until Deb or Michelle posts. DH is working late tonight. Being home like a normal at the normal hours lasted all of a week :rolleyes:

Hey Gals,
Klee - Welcome back :confetti: LOL @ swapping AF cycles, although they still keep lurking around each other... next month will be ours :crossfingers: Thats hard about the plane, you know your a mummy, we know your a mummy but to everyone else you are a stranger and you just wanna jump up and tell them... but then you run the risk of security being called and being thrown off the plane like some terrorist LOL. Hope your 1st day back at work went ok - man that sucks, they could have given you a day at least!
Spring - How rude of DH!!! LOL. Thanks, I know you are right - but you know how it is, it just makes it all so final! I have been wondering about Deb too.
Deb - Been thinking of you today and :pray: everything is ok. When you can let us know how you got on.
Lynn - ;)
Nat - :cryinglaugh: @ the poo catchers! Dont you remember Vanilla Ice's hair? No need for words... check this out, he is hilarious (you might even spot a pair of poo catchers if you look hard LOL: http://www.starpulse.com/Music/Vanilla_Ice/Pictures/
Caro - Thank you very much :)
Hi to everyone else.
Well I am off to rest up... I have waited all this time for my lap and to finally get some answers and a plan and wouldnt you know it, today I have started to get sick - I have a bad headache behing my eyes, achy shoulders, neck and back and the glands in my neck are swollen. If I am not well on Thursday I dont think they will give me a general anaesthetic which means I wont be able to have the procedure! So I am probably going to take tomorrow and Wednesday off work (I was a good girl and told them) so I can rest up and try to get myself back on track by then.
So off to eat a huge plate of veggies (when they are cooked) and have an early night.
Love to all,
Mel

Hi everybody!!
Mel - To the extreme I rock a mike like a vandal, light up the stage and wax a chump like a candle. A ha ha, we had the album 'To the Extreme' I think my brother still listens to it. Remember the hair?? My god, I remember the eyebrows, he had 'gills' shaved into them.
Nat - The party music sounds good, I grew up on Cold Chisel, The Angels etc and still love them now, I would have been right in there. Lunch was great, good choice!
Lynn - Big day for you today? How was Phil? How cute is Hope?
Deb - Did you have your scan today? Hoping it all went well.
Spring - Are you still full from yesterday? Lol, I am, my god, I was all dizzy when I was talking to you guys at the end there.
Tommysmum - Thanks for the ride...again. I don't think that I will go on wednesday, I am not sure I can do it, but I will let you know on wednesday.
Klee - Welcome back. it is nice to have a break isn't it?
Jlk - I hope your brother is ok. My brother witnessed a bad car accident where the driver of a van lost his legs and we are pretty sure he lost his life too, and I remember how much it upset him. It is horrible isn't it.
Hello to everyone else too!!
Well lunch yesterday was great again, though Tommysmum should come with a censor. Lol, no we probably all do, but she just seems louder when she's x-rated, lol. but it was great to catch up with everyone and see those expanding belly's. Though, there is too much peer pressure for desert. Yum! Morning sickness is still here for me, but not all day like it was last week, so I guess that is good. Starting to get nervous about my first hospital appointment and the doppler thing, as there is only 2 weeks to go. ANd only 3 weeks till my NT scan, which will be my first look at *Faith* as Aunty Mel has called her/him.
-
Bailey - Well I had huge respect for your brother, he is pretty cute, he can cook... and then you go and tell me something like that and it ruins it all ;) Do you remember the song "Regulator"? That's another one I can remember the words to this day, but I must its still quite catchy LOL. I still am a dag with music, always have been always will be (I used to love Roy Orbison - and still do). OK should be off now... before I make things worse :redface:
-
Just wanted to say a quick hello to all you lovely ladies - I am sorry I have been very quiet lately (not in a good place at the moment). I have read through your posts and think it is impossible for me to do proper personals.
Mel - I am sorry it was so hard to put away the nursery. It is such a difficult time and I am sure it will get easier now. Have you put something else in the room or are you leaving it empty? I found it very hard having it empty so we bought some furniture and made it into a spare bedroom. Makes it easier to go in there now - but thats just me.
Bailey - glad to see you doing well and that the m/s is easing. Mine has been real bad this time around but is better than it was thank goodness. Good luck in 3wks for your scan - I have mine in 4wks and really looking forward to it too. These milestones are very important.
Hi to everyone else - I am looking forward to meeting most of you in August - especially if dessert is on offer :-)
I will try to keep up in future - promise.
-
It was a clear black night a clear white moon Warrnen G was on the street trying to consume!!!!! I love that song Mel.
-
Hey guys, sorry it has taken me a while to post but all is good with *Hope*. Her/his heartbeat was 167 so nice and strong and they said that everything look fantastic. They were just wonderful and so caring at the hospital and made it a bit easier for me. I am going back in 2 weeks for another scan.
Bailey - yes my blob *hope* is beautiful!! DH had to ask what end the head was! LOL!!! I guess it is a bit early yet to see. Hopefully in 2 weeks it will be clearer. Lunch with Phil Kearns was good. He is so polite and a lovely person. I told him all about Cooper which was great.
Mel - big hugs to you babe :hug: what a big day you had yesterday. the girls are right, Nicholas is always with you, in your heart and dreams :hugs: I hope you are feeling a bit better soon. YOu have done the right thing by having a few days off. I will be thinking of you on Thursday. I'm sure everything will go well and before you know it you will be UTD!!!
Tommysmum - you definitely would have got an infraction yesterday!!!! But you made us laugh and that is what is important! See you Wednesday I am definitely going (mind me a seat!)
Klee - welcome back! We missed you. I'm glad you had a great time away. If I was on that plane I would have smiled at you! You are a mummy, a very special one at that and one day (very soon) you will have everyone smiling at you :hug:
Spring - it was very emotional going back into the hospital. I sat in the corridor until they called my name and it was good that they didn't make us wait long. I requested that we didn't go into the same room as when we found out about Cooper. They were just wonderful and I'm glad you are going there too now and not putting up with those horrible women at THAT other hospital (won't mention any names!). I wouldn't look at the screen until she said to me that everything was ok. She wanted me to see the heartbeat before she did anything else which was good.
Nat - thanks for not stalking me today!!!!! just jokes! Hope you recovered from yesterday. It was such a fun day.I told my mum about the waiter who asked us if we were a mother's group and we said sort of! Imagine if we told him how we met.
I hope everyone else is well
Take care :hugs:
-
OMG Spring thats just too funny - you know that bit "Nate Dog and the G-child were in need of something else"... I used to sing it to my sister and say Nate Dog and the L-child" cause of our surname and I still sometimes call her the L-child to this day - it cracks me up, but it is such a cool song! Hey I think this could be yet another club?!?!?!?
-
Mel - sorry to hear that it was difficult to pack up the nursery. It must have been tough - it is never easy is it. And a double wammy with AF turning up - damn witch. But never fear - July could be the month for you babe. Just snuggle up to DH during these winter nights and who knows what might happen hey ?
JLK - that is so sad that your brother had to witness that accident and just terrible that that man suffered so. No one should have to go through something like that - just awful. Hope you are well otherwise.
BAiley - no worries about the lift. Just let me know about Wednesday no problem. I am sure it is going to be a sad night - but i am still keen to go and cry my heart out - greeeeeeat !!!! 2 weeks will go fast for your scan - i cant wait ! I think the MS is hitting me now when i cook - but that is about it ! Hope it has passed and you don't need a bucket anymore.....
PS i do not need a censor - i am just a nutter (i told you all that before). Plus if Spring knew where her genitals were i think things would have been more civilised. Lunch was great (thanks Dream for booking). I was soooo full last night when i got home - i ate too much - but hey, what could you expect for eating fries (who ordered those by the way ?); garlic bread, pasta, s/date pudding and coffee....
Hello to everyone else.

Mel, it was driving me insane trying to remember the spoken bit at the begining so I googled it.
We regulate any stealing of his property
And we damn good too
But you can't be any geek off the street,
Gotta be handy with the steel if you know what i mean, earn your keep!
Regulators!!! mount up!
Ok I'll leave it there now.
-
Sorry missed the other posts...
Lynn - So happy that everything was so good :dance: Sorry, forgot about your lunch date today (was so wrapped in the scan LOL) - how was he when you told him about Cooper?
Tess - You are right, it would be too hard to leave the room empty. My parents are coming to stay with us for a month on Thursday (just in time to look after me after my procedure LOL) so they will be living in there... although we may allow them out of the room to go to the toilet LOL ;) After they go we will be putting a treadmill in there - buying one next week YAY!
-
hi there girls
i hope you dont mind me popping in and chatting with you all. i found out i had misscarried last thursday and had to get a d&c done i was 12 weeks pregnant.
my partner and i will be ttc as from next friday as i have to wait 2 weeks. and thought i could share our jurney with you guys it would be nice to get to know you all.
love susan
-
LOL so did I - for Bailey's benefit only though ;)
-
:confetti:Lynn - wonderful news - see i told you all would be ok. Sounds like the hospital staff handled everything tastefully for you. And now you have faced another challenge (going back to the hospital). Although hard - it is just another step closer.
I am glad i made you laugh (you probably all think i am crazy but that is how i am) - i am glad i still have my sense of humour - i think that has helped me greatly get through the tragedy that we have all faced. Definitely see you there on Wednesday - and will save you a seat.

Susan
Welcome honey and so sorry for your loss :hugs:

Susan
Welcome to the thread. Sorry to hear about you losing your baby - just awful and i know how you feel. I am glad though you are keen to get back into TTC and to beat it and to bring your baby home. Good luck and look forward to chatting with you.
-
thankyou you guys yes my dr told me to stay positive and i have already had two beautiful children and that im sure to have another one. so im not to stress or it may take me a little longer to concieve and we dont want that.
tommysmum i was reading through the thread and it seems that everything has been turning good for you and the bubs which is wonderful. and fingers crossed for the rest of the journey.
love susan
-
Welcome Susan - sorry for your loss :hug: Hope your TTC journey is a swift one :)
-
Susan - I am so sorry for your loss. This is the best place for support so feel free to stay with us.
Lynn - I will post here too - I am so pleased all went well today. I did not think about the hospital part until I arrived there last week (on my own, as DH had a meeting he could not get out of) and had to walk into the same ward as I went in the stretcher. It was really upsetting but I am glad I did it and feel that it is a step closer (as Tommysmum said) to our ultimate goal!!
-
Hi Susan,
Welcome. I am sorry to hear about your baby. You have come to the right place for support. It might look a little crazy in here sometimes, but these awesome ladies have saved me.
-
Hi all - it looks like I'm last up (again) - my cousin says only witches stay up as late as me LOL.
Anyway, hi to everyone -
Mel - I was so sad to hear about the nursery pack up and think your DH is so gorgeous. It must have been so so hard ...and as for AF...there are no words for that witch! Good on you for getting yourself ready for Thursday - I'll be hoping all goes well on the day! I'm sure Nicholas will be with you and giving you little angel cuddles. BTW I made an appointment with your OB it's on 7 August - so thank you for that advice and that little bit of hope. Hopefully we'll be able to schedule some regular appointments together and catch up!
SpringStill stalking your ticker and pleased to see all is bouncing along so quickly - I'm sure it doesn't seem like it to you. September is creeping up. How are you feeling? Is the pregnancy different to Harrison's? Do you have any boy/girl feelings?
SusanHi Susan - I too am sorry for your loss and like the others :pray: that TTC is the shortest journey you have to take!
Tommysmum you sound like fun! Mel and I will have to come to Sydney some time and play with you all!
Lynn Go Hope? Is 167 considered a fast heart rate - am I right in thinking that is sometimes a boy thing?
Hope everyone is well - and thank you to everyone who gave me a boost a couple of days ago - it was one of those yuk periods - and I'm pleased to say it's moved away for now.
Jo how's your brother doing? What a terribly hard time for him!
BaileyI've just noticed your ticker flying along too!
The only news from me is that DH and I are officially TTC again,again,again - which is really just a small step up from "letting nature take it's course" (that was last months decision). The main difference is that we have an appointment with Mel's lovely OB Thanks Mel:hug: BUT it's a big step up from "I can't do this anymore".
As we all know - we can always do this some more !
Also a really big :grouphug: to everyone having/waiting on scans at the moment - it takes so much strength to wait for a scan. I know that when :pray: our time comes again to be sitting in the darkened room - it will take all of my strength to keep it together. I'm not sure the Hampton scan centre I went to will want me back LOL! What I mean is, I'm thinking of you all!

howdy everyone! i'm back from nebraska and the family visit. it was hot and sunny, and the wheat is getting ready to be harvested. we went for a canoe ride down a fast river, leaving me little time to wallow in self-pity. we saw a great Aussie movie "the castle" that made me lol the whole time -- my parents just got back from a month tour of Australia with an exchange student from when i was a child. sometimes i wish i were the same person i was before Yeti, and could just laugh and be carefree on my weekends with my family. but that would mean i would have to give up my Yeti too.
Bailey- lol, nebraska as an "exotic" place sounds wonderful. i love it because i grew up there, but most in the u.s think of it as a rural backwater. the coast sounds exotic to me!
Georgie- i'm sorry you are feeling so down. i am too, so i'll just send hugs.
Lynn- YEAH! for *Hope*'s heartbeat! sounds like a good gig at work, something for you to do and still supportive enough to be not so stressful. i find it difficult to care about work the way i used to. i'm a zombie who gets some stuff done, that's all.
Jo- what a terrifying experience for your brother. the post traumatic stress thing could kick in. ikwym about worrying about loved ones, every time someone is 5 minutes late, my morbid imagination is sure they have met with a bad end.
Spring- hope you have some luck relaxing. i guess each day is a new test. hugs.
Mel- yah, sometimes the too hard basket ****es me off too. but only when i have the energy to be angry. when i do, i focus it all on one friend in particular who finds me too hard to talk to at all. sorry about the disappointment this cycle - i think it is impossible to not feel it, no matter what one tries to do to keep hope at bay.
Klee- oh, i am sorry for your feelings about the other moms not knowing and recognizing you. we should have signs above our heads, i swear. my sister in laws always talk about child rearing in front of me, but i can't participate because i don't count as a mom to them. it hurts. hugs to you, and you are a great mom to Phoebe!
Susan- i'm so sorry for your loss. good luck with the ttc.

Time for a new thread gorgeous ones! You will find it HERE
