Thanks Jo :hug: I hope everything is ok with your DH. Thinking of you guys :hugs:
-
Mel: I loved crimped hair - I was the crimped hair queen!!! :cryinglaugh:
I am glad you are going up but I hear you sister on the smoke - I can't STAND it when people smoke around me. I get very agitated - I think it's rude. It's illegal though now isn't it in pubs - I haven't been to a pub in a very very very looooong time!
Jo: It's great that your DH is getting checked out - I hope all is well - let us know...
Hi to everyone else - I hope you are having a beautiful Monday... :Hug:

Hi girls, I have read all your posts but I just don't have a chance to respond at the moment.
I just wanted to pop in and wish Lynn all the best for tomorrows scan. I know how nervous you must be feeling but I know in my heart that little Hope will be in there beating away.
Tomorrow will be a wonderful day.

Hi gals,
Lynn - OMG I do remember the banana clips - I had a few different colours so that they could match my outfits :cryinglaugh: Yeah I do think time has flown, all of you girls are zooming along... I mean look at Spring!!! But yes I understand it is must quicker to for me as I am not the one experiencing it. When I am pg I know I will be saying how slow its going, even pg with Nicholas I felt like it took forever to grow him. But then once I had him I looked back it and felt like I only just found out I was pg... And that was without the stresses that this next journey brings. I will be thinking of you tomorrow, if you feel up to it text me to let me know how you go (I will be working so cant check BB for an update). I just know everything will be fine and Hope's little :heartbeat: will be thumping away.
Deb - :lol: @ the crimped hair queen - I reckon I would come a close runner up! I was quite surprised you can still get them. My step-DD has the thinnest, limpest, straightest hair you have ever seen and the crimping made her hair look so thick - she loved it! I know that smoking anywhere (incl pubs) in qld is illegal but I am not sure if that law has come into effect in vic yet. Well if not, it could be an early night. After being a smoker for so long I now end up with a really sore throat if I am exposed to it too much. I think the rudest smokers are the ones who smoke in their car (worse still the ones who have their kiddies in there at the same time) and then throw their butts out the window :angry: I have been known to report those people to the EPA - even when I was a smoker I always threw my butts in the bin or put them in the ashtray of my car.
Spring - Hope everything is ok and you are just busy.
Hi to everyone else. Poor Bailey must still be plagued by M/S :(
Speaking of Red Nose Day wrist bands... DH and I bought a sales box of merchandise which we are going to talk our loved ones into buying in honour of Nicholas. I cant wait for the wrist bands, I really want to wear one and I am going to buy one for step-DD too. And the added bonus is that my favourite colour is RED! The whole box was only $134 and DH and I thought that after everything S&K have done for us over the last month the least we can do is spend some money for Red Nose Day - especially when it is focused on stillbirth this year. I started back at the path place today and a lady at work was wearing one of the wrist bands and it was really nice to see.
Anyway, hope you have a nice night - I hate Melbourne, its freezing here and I just cant get warm. This typing isnt helping either!
Mel :)

Bugger - just typed out a bloomin story and it all disappeared ! Hmmm
Mel - I get the impression you are doing fine. Your posts set the tone and i think having a break from TTC is probably a good idea. But only you and DH will know what is best - all will be fine and when you get UTD soon we will all be here barracking for you each and every day and your ticker will fly by !
That is very nice that you are selling the S&K bands - was this offered to you via S&K group or did you enquire about it ?
Dream - yes our palace will (better be) ready by xmas. We have been going for a year and a half now - with breaks of 3 months here and there. We have not been able to use our front and backyards for this entire time ! It will just be nice to sit out the back on the deck and then go for a dip in our pool. I can't wait. Having this baby has pushed us to get back into it. Saying that, Tommy was going to be in our room until we finished (which we would have done if he would have survived). But we didn't do anything for months after he died. Now we have another reason. Hope you are doing well and looking forward to Sunday.
Bailey - you will be fine in your skimpy bikini showing off your baby belly this summer - no problem. I think a pregnant belly in a bikini is beautiful ! Hope you are feeling better. Can your brother mind DS tomorrow for the meeting ?
Hello to eveyrone else - hope you are having a wonderful week.
-
Hey all,
Tommysmum - hopefully you'll be sitting in your back yard soon, once it warms up I mean! LOL!
Mel - what a good idea to buy a box of merchandise, I have brought a teddy bear & a pen (that the kids keep wanting to pinch) but the two places I have been haven't had the wristbands :dunno:
Deb & spring, hope your both well!
Lynn - thinking of you today!
well I was never one for crimping my hair, but my god did I own some banana clips :lol:
-
*Hope* has a :heartbeat: and is measuring exactly 7 weeks. There is just one *Hope* in there. I was relieved for a little bit but I am completely emotionally exhausted, I don't know what I feel. Just seeing that heartbeat on the screen was so hard for me because the last baby I saw on the screen was Coop and his little heart wasn't going. It has just brought up so many emotions for me and I think this pg is going to be a lot harder than I thought.
:happybirthday: :happybirthday: :happybirthday: Happy Birthday Spring, hope you are have a fantastic day :hug:
-
:hugs: To you Lynn (I posted in the other thread too) I guess it's normal for you to feel like you do, but it's also good to know that all is well with "Hope". (YKWIM)
But I have to put these in here for "Hope" :happyforyou: (Been wanting to use those! LOL!)
Is it Springs b'day? If so "HAPPY B"DAY"
Hope everyone else is well

Hi Guys,
Lynn - Woo hoo on your scan, do you finally believe it now? I booked in for my NT scan today, its in 4 weeks. I hope all goes well tommorrow, I wish I could make it.
Spring -:happybirthday: Happy Birthday!! 21 Today? What did you get?
Mel - How good was crimping? I have really thick hair and back in the day, I used to have it so long that I could sit on it, so imagine it crimped. Yes, there was more hair than gorl I tell you, but I thought I looked gorgeous. I remember my mum laughing at me at the time, I thought she was just happy, lol, but now I know that she really was just laughing at me. How are you doing? Have you tested yet?
Tommysmum - Hmmm, thanks for your confidence that I will be in Bikini's, but I am not so sure, lol. When I was pregnant with DS, I was massive, and I rememeber being at Little Bay in a cossie and people were just staring at me, lol. I am sure somebody was going to call Greenpeace to rescue me.
Dream - My mum swears by Ginger beer too, but I hate the taste of it. I bought a bottle, but the thought of it make me feel even worse. I might try it tomorrow, cos it is starting to get a bit much now. See you on sunday.
Flowerchild - How are you doing? I get a little worried if I start looking ahead too, so I am just following the whole one day at a time mantra, and so far it's working for me, and the last 4 weeks since I got my BFP have gone really fast.
Ho to everyone else too, I hope you are all well.
Not really much to say. Haven't even been out of the house for a while with this Sydney weather. DS and I have had marathon kiddy-flick sessions. Today we watched Shrek - twice, Finding Nemo and The Nightmare before Christmas - My favourite. I was so excited to show it to him, and he wasn't even scared. The ms was a little better today. My brother is a fantastic cook and he came over and made me Thai noodles and chicken satay sticks, and I am telling you, it was just as good as the real thing. Yum!!
-
Lynn :happyforyou: that is just the most wonderful news about Hope. I understand the emotional exhaustion, it is a long journey but it is worth every step.
Well yes it is my B'day today. TBH, I lost it last night and this morning. I just couldn't stop crying because all I wanted for my birthday was a warm cuddle from my baby boy and instead I got to kiss his urn. I managed to make it to work but I hadn't told anyone it was my birthday so I just felt plain miserable. My eyes are stinging so bad from all the tears. But on a good note, DH made me feel heaps better tonight buy spoiling me rotten with presents and he got me some cup cakes from my favorite cup cake shop.
Oh well, 27 down and I am positive that 28 will be better.
Going to go to sleep because all that crying is exhausting.
Oh, I'll have to update my signature first.
Big love
Spring

Spring :hug: I can totally understand your feelings today. I think we have all felt it on our birthdays since we lost our babies. Harry would have been wishing you a beautiful birthday and he will lay a kiss on your cheek tonight as your head hits the pillow. Have a good sleep, sweet dreams :hugs:
-
Hey all,
Hope everyone is well :D
Well DH is off to the gp today to see if there could be any problems, I'll fill you all in on what the go is after he's been but i'm :pray: that there is nothing seriously wrong!
Hope you ladies on the east coast aren't getting to much bad weather, if only it would rain just a little bit here :rolleyes:
-
Jo, how did it go with DH? I hope everything is ok. Thinking of you both :hug:
-
Hi Everybody ;)
Spring - :happybirthday: for yesterday you sneaky thing you... you should have known you couldnt :hiding: I can sympathise with how hard it was for you, I remember I was a mess on my birthday. I so wish we all had our bubbas here to give those much needed cuddles.
Lynn - YAY FOR HOPE :confetti: How is that m/s going? Are you loving every second of it?
Jo - Gee I hope DH is ok :hug: That's surprising that you cant get the wrist bands, if you want one email me your postal address and I will send you one courtesy of our business, we have heaps.
Deb - I saw in another post that you had an u/s today... how is lil Col going?
Bailey - OMG talk about my dream day, watching kids flicks all day... ya lucky duck! Re your brother are you telling me he is pretty cute AND a good cook? I didnt think those men existed. My DH is pretty cute (well ok I might be bias but...) by he cant cook for ****! Actually he can make a pretty mean baked potato, but lets be honest, its hardly rocket science!
Tommysmum - We ordered the Red Nose Day sales box through their website. I am not sure if they are available for sale to the general public, DH and I have a registered business so we ordered it through the business.
I only worked for a couple of hours today. Dont know what is wrong with me, have had a headache for the last few days and last night I had severe belly cramps and bloating and then today I woke up with these jabbing kind of pains in my lower right pelvic area which were coming and going but were really uncomfortable. So I decided to come home and rest, I have been taking Naprogesic which seems to be helping. Am I a baby or what? LOL
Hello to everyone else, hope you are all well.
Well our Red Nose Day pack arrived today, soooo exciting. We are going to try and sell some stuff to our family (and DHs workmates) but after looking through it, all the stuff is so cool and I want to keep alot of it. DH says that we should try to sell it because not only is it to raise money for S&K but also to increase awareness. Man I hate it when he is right :rolleyes: But I have talked him into letting us keep some of it. I am definitely wearing my wrist band everywhere!
OK thats about all from me, I am sure I will be back later.
Love Mel

Thanks Mel - *Col* waved at me! I can't believe how much they grow in a week. Some gorgeous movements and the wave that has melted my heart! Good heartbeat and growth equal to dates so another milestone down...
Monday is the biggy for me the nuchal scan and uterine artery doppler - it's a biggy. I am stressed because of the age factor, stressed because I don't want any problem with blood supply etc etc. ARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, today is over and *Col* is bouncing and I have a smile on my dial...
JO: How is your DH?
Spring: I didn't know it was your birthday my love... :hug: :happybirthday::happybirthday::happybirthday:
I am sorry I missed it - so I am thinking of you now and hoping that yesterday was lovely... :hug:
I am freezing here. It's 6 degrees and I can't thaw out!
I am sure you are all the same... Pop back later...
-
Oh Deb - that is so wonderful :hug: I will be sending every positive vibe I have in me for great results on Monday :pray: How cool is it that Col waved to his Mummy?!?!?!
Its cold here in Melbourne too, not sure of the temp but its feels like -6... although I am such a wuss in the cold, I hate it - not a day goes by where my hands and feet are not like ice and I just cannot warm up. We have out heating on 25 and I am still cold! :(
-
Hi girls,
Mel - Um...I think your symptoms sound a little like preggo symptoms....stay off the Napro, you just never know. It sounds just lke what I had.:goodluck: Oh how good are kids movies? Today I joined the video shop up the road and we hired 5 movies, so today we watched Hook and Ninja Turtles 2 : The secret of the Ooze..lol it was a million years old and had Vanilla Ice in it. Tomorrows highlights will be 'Chicken Run' 'Herbie Fullyloaded' and 'Stuart Little' I can't wait til he is a bit older so we can watch The Labyrinth and the Dark Crystal, they are my fave's.
Deb - :confetti: for you and *Col* all sounds good. I know that none of us can ever feel safe until we have those babies screaming in our arms, but I guess each milestone that is reached and passed (with flying colours and a waving baby) is a step closer.
Jo - How did it go today?
Lynn - I am so sorry I missed the meeting today, I really wanted to come, just couls palm the monster off onto anyone lol. We hired more kiddy-flicks today and watched them and ordered pizza, so I still had a good day anyway.
Feeling ok today, morning-sickness wise, but I am starting to get scared now that I have booked in my NT scan. And I have my first hospital appointment in just over 2 weeks. I think on one hand I should feel better when I hear the heartbeat, but on the morning I went into hospital because I wasn't feeling Asha move, the midwife hooked me up to one of those doppler-belt things and said "Theres bubs heartbeat, everythings fine" And for 2 hours I lay there while she continued to tell me it was all ok. It wasn't ok, my baby had died and this idiot was listening to my heartbeat. For two hours!! And she told me she could feel kicks!! She kept rubbing the top of my belly and saying see babies foot kicking?? Well, considering Asha was breech, it was not her foot. Anyway, after that little vent, what I am trying to say is, how do I trust the doppler? How do I take the doctors word for it? I just don't know that I am going to feel any better hearing a heartbeat, I will always doubt it. I guess maybe I should explain that to the doc that the doppler scares me? I don't know. Sorry about that long story, I guess it's something thats been worrying me alot lately.
-
Bailey - As nice as it would be to think you are right about that I doubt it, I am a few days off AF being due so I think it is just PM symptoms. DH and I didnt really try this month... besides, every month I get something that make me think it could be PG symptoms but they always turn out to be PM symptoms. But thats ok, I will handle it - and then my lap will be next week and hopefully its all uphill from there :)
That's awful what that silly nurse put you through when Asha has passed, how can she call herself a nurse? I think it is perfectly understandable that you are nervous about your scan, but I really hope that Faith is in there kicking about so that you can see with your own eyes that she is ok. She might even follow in Col's footsteps and give Mummy a bit of a wave LOL.
OMG havent thought about good ol' Ice Ice Baby for like a decade but I used to love it - loved the line in the song "Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it" :cryinglaugh: I used to think I was so cool cause I knew all the words, now I just know that I am extremely sad! Although whats even more sad is I think I still know most of them and I havent heard the song for years :redface:
OK now that I have embarrassed myself bigtime I will be off to bed :p
