OMG that is wonderful news Niamh. Send me some of that water :)
Oh Niamh that's lovely news congrats!!!
Thanks girls :grouphug:
indie are you TCC, you should try taking MACA if you are :D it works great on your hormones and DH added benefit it increases your libido, my cycles have been mad all over the place so I was taking it to help regulate them and but a bit of a zing in my step LOL I got a zing and a bit more I bargained for.:D
Mel you use cloth nappies, are they good, I'm thinking I might use them this time to save some money, but I was wondering are they water proof and poo proof to a certain amount LOL I know disposables are not Eireann is always leaking :doh: I am thinking I may have a go making them my self I found a pattern on line. wondering are they worth it. I love your ones and I'm hoping they help prevent nappy rash poor Eireann always seem to be getting one so annoying.
Yeah we are TTC. Up to about 8 months. What is MACA? Is it available here?
Yes what is MACA? I'd be interested too! I start with my trainer next week I'm hoping shifting a few kgs will help the ttc process. It's very new to me. We weren't trying with Em.
On sadder news (have posted in the boo hoo thread) it seems my sister has lost her baby after 3.5 years ttc :( at 8 weeks so so sad for her.
I read that thread Ezy. So very sad for your sister. :hug: hugs to you and your family
Aww hugs Ezy :( Your poor sister :( How terribly sad :(
Niamh yes I love the cloth nappies.
For a newborn, go Lushies from "Sustainable Hemp Products" with a PUL cover (Tots Bots flexi wrap are good) for maxiumum pootainment ;)
Medium petites (from Baby Beehinds) from a couple of months until they grow out of them :) Then onto Larges if you need.
No nappy rash here, though Ash gets it if I put him in disposables :(
MACA is a plant that grows in the Andes the inca took it to help with libido and energy levels, it works on the piturity gland in the brain balancing out hormones it also increase sperm mobility and sperm count in men and increase a woman's fertility. I was taking it as it regulates your cycles my O date was very late and short LP but I was very cramps and spotting a lot as well. PMS was killing me to, not what I was used to at all in my cycles. I have been on it 3 months and DH took it as well for about a month.:
I noticed straight away I felt great, more energy and deffo increased my LIBIDO and made BD much more enjoyable, I then noticed less PMS symptoms easier AF and no spotting and this month I OV early! ha I wasn't watching out for that hehehe I have been charting so when I saw that I had an Idea we may have caught the egg.
This is my second time taking MACA I used it after DS2 when I had lingering PND it had gone but I kept noticing I felt really down a few days before AF it worked great then as well. its so worth using it as it is a natural plant that nourishes the body. Oh yea you can buy it off ebay or it could be in the health food shops, I got mine off ebay if you do buy some it comes in powder or tablet form powder is an acquired taste so I went with the capsules 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon it really boast your energy so only take in the evening if you heading out some were.
Ezymay I'm so sorry to hear about your sister that is so sad ((HUGS))) a friend of mine lost her baby after tcc for a long time to MMC she is devastated as well.
Thanks Mel Im such a newbie when it come to the nappies so is the lushies like the old way terry towling square and then a cover over it? ( I used them on my brother when he was born and I was 7, wow blast from the past):

Hello! Congratulations, Niamh! Fabulous news! Hope there will be a couple more announcements soon (not from me although if I were ten-fifteen years younger and in a sound relationship the story'd be different, you betcha!)
Sorry haven't been around much. Fulltime teaching and Matthew being sick for what felt like a month, a computer hard drive that died and a week in Canberra are my excuses :p
I've had news of a transfer so looks like I'll be set to teach in Bungendore next year. No idea how I'm going to be able to afford to live there though! Rents are $400-500 for a house or you can buy a shoebox in the housing estate next to the village for $500,000. :rolleyes: But at least DS will be able to spend more time with his father. It was so cute hearing him say Daddy, Daddy and watching the effect of that while we were in Canberra this past week.
Great to hear things are going well for you, Pam. Hope you've had a chance to rest over the school holidays!
Very sad about your sister, Erin. How heartbreaking. :hug:
Thanks Mel Im having a look, Im thinking Im going to make lots for this bub FX, Baby gowns, a linner for my pram, blankets etc save some money! Im looking forward to it now :D:
OOH exciteing whos next then from our ol group ;) will you have to move futher out from work to find a house to rent, 400 to 500 when your the main earner is high all right :o did you have a good trip :D:
thanks for the congrats Im delighted and feel really lucky as well.
Not looking forward to insulin injections again, but they are worth it for the end result!
Niamh wow amazing, jaw dropping, fabulous news, congrats!!!!
Ezy soo sorry about your sister I can only imagine the pain she is feeling.
Mel sounds like you going well, I am rarely on here now..not keen on the new BB??? lose my posts on a regular basis and still finding my way around.
Kerry...where are you moving to??? Is it the A.C.T.?? I am really happy for you that Matthew got to spend time with his daddy, hopefully it encourages daddy to be a bit more involved. I will get onto sedning you things back, I have stopped pumping but we are still feeding, then comping so it certainly helped heaps.
We are doing well Tilly has had her kidney tested for function..and we have found out there is definately none..best news about that is no surgery require, but we need to adjust to a more healthy lifestyle to keep her good one well and not working overtime, so far touch wood she does'nt have other problems assicoated with it eg high blood pressure and UTI's..anyway off now to have a quick look around, someone is near there due date and I don't want to miss the annoucement.
Pam thanks LOL it is a bit! number 5 for me now whoo hoo
Glad to hear Tilly is doing well and she is ok how Poppy :)
