Oops double post!
Oh Meercat, don't get me started on the food!! We are struggling BIG time here. Cam has a handful of things he will eat. He eats practically no meat & no veg. I have to give him a multivitamin and omega 3 and calcium supplements daily. I feel so guilty giving him the same stuff all the time but he refuses to try new things. I am actually losing sleep over it now :( Just the other day I managed to sneak grated veg into his spag bolonaise sauce and he ate it :wall:
Thank god it isn't just me! Sometimes at the end of the day I realize all she has had is a piece of toast and a yoghurt and think "how the hell isn't she starving?!"
And she will love something and then the next day declare it "yuck mum" and refuse to eat it :(
Ree Ree - congratulations :-) :-)
Teresa - hope the antibiotics work quickly. We haven't been making a big deal of the toilet training but he sits on the potty before the bath - most nights. One night he did a wee and I made a huge deal, but then he refused to sit on the potty for a while after...
Rach83 - that's really cute! Angus is really looking forward to a new baby and points to everything saying "baby, baby" with the bassinet, dummies etc. Hope it's all going well for you :-)
MissB - I'm waiting for the summer too with toilet training. Angus was really behind with his speech but in the last 4 weeks he's just taken off. I think changing from 1 to 2 days at daycare has really helped, but I think he just had some kind of growth spurt. He decided he wanted to sleep in a big bed (that was always in his room as well as the cot) and he's just SO much more independent. I hope your appointment with the FS goes well and you work out some kind of a plan...
AFM - today is my due date - but no baby :-( Angus was induced at 14 days over and I really don't want to be induced again... Oh well, we'll see what happens. Like I said above, Angus has just taken off with his speech and copies everything.. He is so independent and so cute! I'm sure he's going to make a great big brother - if this baby decides to make an appearance some time soon..
Meercat - Angus doesn't eat that much either really. At dinner I just serve whatever we are having and he usually picks at it, plays a bit and then will eat some more. He takes so long to eat it and if DH isn't at home and I am feeling lazy, I just give him something like fish fingers and sweet potato chips and let him eat it in front of In the Night Garden.
Hope it gets better for you, but don't worry too much Miss B, I'm sure he's getting enough..
Oh nat! I thought your due date must be coming up! Exciting :)
I can't imagine how hard ivf is miss b. I hope you get your bub before the end of the year.
Poor Hamish and his little willy! Poor bub.
Jemma is a hit n miss eater at the moment too. I just let her eat when she pleases throughout the day. At the moment she likes yoghurt cheese sticks and salt n vinegar and cheese n chive rice cakes.
Cucumber is a staple as is watermelon. She loves tacos but we aren't eating them every night!
So frustrating how one day she will love something and the next day won't even sniff it! Aargh! I love this age and hate it all at once!
thanks everyone!
miss b i really hope ivf works for you soon!
afm, i am now late with af! i cant remember what date i got it last month only that it was 2 or 3 days before the date i normally get it. i figure there is no point stressing about it. if i am UTD then it means gods taken the decision of whether we want another baby or not out of our hands and into his! i think i better get some FR tests today tho. feeling icky the last couple of mornings lasting throughout the day too. spoke to my friend about it yesterday and she laughed saying that i was in denial and to just do a test! DH is like "but we have been careful", um honey not really! i had to try and explain the withdrawal method is not 100% reliable and safe :brickwall:
anyway better go and get ready for playgroup. will catch up with you lovelies later xxx
Still hanging on nat?
How did you go Teresa?
Xx
hey rach
af arrived last night. kept getting BFN's so thinking i probably had a longer cycle then normal.
How annoying. Are they usually irregular?
yeah but usually between 30-32 days. this has by far been the longest one since i just before i fell pregnant with Hamish!!!
Teresa - not sure if it is a good or bad thing - but at least it made you really think about having number 2, because I know you weren't really sure..
41 weeks for me today & I had a stretch and sweep which I never had last time... Starting to chicken out about it all now, so hopefully things happen quickly.
I hope everyone else is doing well..
Hi ladies,
Thanks Rach, I will be doing a cycle in September so hopefully this one will work! FX :) How is your pg going? Your 20 weeks scan is coming up, how exciting! I remember your PA announcement like it was yesterday! lol.
Nat, I hope your bub comes by him/her self very soon!! I hope you won't need an induction but somethimes that's better than keeping bub in there too long. Fingers crossed the stretch and sweep has worked :crossfingers: Will be doing a stalky stalky on ya, GL sweetie :)
Teresa, that's annoying about your long cycle!! Hopefully it will regulate itself soon. Have you been stressed/worried about something? The only time my AF is late is if I am pg or really stressed..big hugs hun x
Meercat how is your pg going hun? Is Miss Tiah eating any more? Cam started to eat a bit better lately, thank God. I hope I haven't jinxed myself ;)
So like I've mentioned before, I'm excited to be doing a new cycle of IVF in September. We'll be doing a new cycle where the follicle stimulant hormone is slowly released in the blood so the eggs and embryo quality is a lot better than it's been in the past as the ovaries are stimulated gently rather than being bombarded with drugs every day. So excited!!! I just wish I could get pg naturally, this IVF sucks big balls!!!!! It has given me my beautiful DSs so I'm always thankful for that :)
Hello to anyone else out there!!
b xxx
Hi b
It's going really smooth and fast thank goodness. I have had barely any morning sickness, no weird or unhealthy cravings (i can't get enough oranges or lime cordial) I have mood swings but nothing like my first pg! Ive only just got my appetite back though. Most the time has had me wondering if it's all my head it's been that unnoticeable! But clearly a baby on the ultrasound isn't in my head and I have a belly now so clearly I'm UTD :). It's sad that recurrent miscarriage takes the excitement from it though. I've actually pulled out the bassinet to reiterate that it's actually happening. I think once I get full on kicks etc I will be ok as it's a constant reassuring reminder.
Thanks for asking honey x
Hi Miss B! I am going ok. Apart from the usual pregnancy stuff my anxiety has come back with a force so I am struggling a bit. Worried about DD, worried about this baby, worried about DP. It is exhausting! I am seeing my Dr today do hopefully he can tell me baby boy is fine and I can calm down.
She still is a crappy eater :( I think a lot of it is a fear of something hurting her tummy or making her throw up so she sticks to her safe foods?
On a good note though... We have had her in knickers all day today and had no accidents! Well... She hasn't. A poo in the potty had me throwing up on the floor lol
nat - i dont think its so much thinking of another baby its more accepting it if it happens! its really hard to think of whether we are happy or sad that i am not UTD. i think DH is slightly relieved but i wont be surprised if he tells me he wants another one soon. i think he is very clucky but just wont admit it! :lol:
meercat - :lol: oh gosh! you poor thing! poor tiah must have gone WT??? yay for no accidents on her behalf :D
miss b - good luck with your next cycle!
rach - thanks for all you support chicky. means a lot xx
hugs to everyone else xx
ok so i am going to be completely honest here because i need to be to someone! i guess talking to DH next is also what i am going to have to do but if i am completely honest with myself yes i do want another baby. BUT i dont know if its for the right reasons. i want to know what its like to be pregnant right up to my due date, have my baby in the room with me the whole time, change their first nappy, feed them in that first few minutes or hours of life, get discharged the same day as my baby. i also want hamish to be a big brother. but i am so scared to go thru another pregnancy just in case its like my first one.
sorry but you girls were there with me from day one and i know i can tell you anything!
:hug:
Teresa it is ok! It took DP and I having a scare to get me to admit I wanted another baby. Then I felt guilty, like I wasn't happy with Tiah and wanting another baby made me selfish.
And this pregnancy is 100% different to my first. I think it is perfectly reasonable to want those things... I missed out on skin to skin contact with Tiah and it is one of the things I am looking forward to most!
