: We are all here for the loss of our children. Some of us are beginning again, and some of us are trying, some of us are just trying to cope. We support each other through every moment of life now, maybe with a little help from Sandwaby ( stands for Sad and wanting a baby) or the rest of us in SANDHABY ( sick and having a baby) . And now we even have a STANDHABY ( stressed and having a baby) . All of us have come a long way !!! We have become more then support....we have become friends. So either way, come on in and join us...everyone is welcome!!! ↓
Hi smmom2. I'd love to join if I may. I'm 32, DH 36. I've had 2 m/c in May06 and Mar07. Both barely at 7 weeks. Nothing has happened since and we get worried at times. I've had all the possible testing and now I'm scheduled for a laparoscopy in about 4 months time. My best friend has now announce her first pregnancy, I am so excited for her, but at the same time I know it's gonna be tough. I keep hoping. ↑
Hi girls, nice new thread. Hope everyones hanging in there. Smmom, how are you feeling? Wow you lost the mucus plug, thats exciting, so not long now. Are you 37weeks now? So your not really too early i guess. I hope this littlun comes at 37 weeks! I dont want to go over im too huge already. Girls, me and dh hav been talking for ages and were probably gonna change our name choice. I know it might seem strange after months of calling him Tyler, but its just basically since we came back to the Uk that weve been feeling this way. I just have mixed feelings, like i might regret it after but i dont know. Any of yous been sure about a name for months and then wanted to change it?? Were thinking either Malachi or Bailey. What do yous think? I still love Tyler but i just started having these doubts and i dont know why? x x ↑
sorry can not help,i would go with what being calling the baby from the start.or use it as middle name
with my m\c at eightteen weeks i was call my son austin the time could think of change it.d\h do not like the name,it was a joke name a first but he love it. hope this help a little ↑
Smmom hang in there. Hopefully you will make it till your doc gets back. I totally understand the idea of someone you are not familiar with taking over the birthing process for you. When we moved to Portland, I considered driving to Bangor each appoitnment to keep the doctor that delivered Tabby, but that would be a long drive and where I am a scheduled C-section, 2 and a half hours might make the difference between having my scheduled C-Section or going into a risky natural labor. So I found a new one instead. welcome maybebaby, good luck with your laproscopy and ttc. Keep us posted on how things go for you and your test results. Missp do not fret about the name. DH and I did that with Rory. We had two definate names that we could go with and we both really liked, but then about 8 weeks before delivery instead of finally deciding which of the two we were going to use, we decided to go with a completely different name. What matters most is that you do not have any doubts. You need to be 100% on board and comfortable with the name you choose, after all that name will be falling from your lips very very very often! I am sorry I didn't get a chance to catch up on the other thread, I know someone got AF besides Erin that was hoping for a BFP this cycle, but I am sooo sorry I only glanced at the thread so I don't remember who it was. I will catch up tomorrow I promise. I am exhausted. I cleaned DD bedroom top to bottom including disinfecting all the toys today and finally finished in there by shampooing the rug. DS's room is next on the list, then the playroom and bathroom. All easy rooms. I am sooo dreading the kitchen and living room. They are far bigger and have far more nooks and crannies and places for dust and cat hair to hide. Goodnight ladies, it is going to be a long week at work! ↑
Hello ladies...sorry I have been mia today...been gone all day !!! MAYBEBABY.....I am so very sorry to hear about your losses. That is so aweful for you and dh. We would love for you to join us and you couldnt pick a better group of women for support. This thread got me through my m/c. And through all that comes afterwards. I know it will be tough to support your friend...but somehow we find the strength to do it. Your healthy bean will come. I can not tell you when....but in God's time. I wish you much luck with ttc and pray you get some answers with all these tests. Let us know what is going on with everything. MISSP....it is not to late....his is not born yet. By the way....I LOVE the name Bailey !!!!! I am not so liking Malachi...but If you chose that I will !!! And DH wanted to change Carson's name for a minute a few weeks back/..I told him NO !!!! SO yes it is ok....if you are changing your mind....then go ahead !!! This is YOUR baby !!! BRYANDI.....geeez....are you taking my energy from me !!! You are doing exactly what I was all summer !!! I can not stop either....it is like cleaning everything till there is not a spec of dust is all you can think of, and then you have to start all over when you are done !!! ANyways...i wish you luck with all the cat hair !!! bUT DONT OVER DUE IT !!! As for me ladies..>I am still hanging in there, I only have a week till my doc gets back....so lets hope Carson stays put. Yes MissP....I am 37 weeks now and hoping ot make it to my edd, but I guess at this point in time hoping for another week as my dr. is out of town. ANyways...I just know your little man will make it to 37-38 weeks, even if you dont name him Tyler. HAHA. Well girlies..I am off to bed, as I have done to much and I have to get up early !!! Have a good evening . ↑
HI guys, just a quick one as Lily is calling to me with a nappy of the chocolate variety, but I had to say to Miss P that he's your baby and you can call him whatever you want. There must be some reason you are having these doubts, so you need to be 100%. I love the name Malachi, particularly if you have a Celtic surname. Bailey and Tyler are also nice - whatever you decide, you could have all three if you want! x Kath ↑
Hi girls and welcome to austinmysweetangel and maybebaby. Im sorry for your losses and hope this thread brings you some support and hope. Weve all been where you are now and can understand some of how you feel. Smmom - i really hope you last out another week too, i imagine that your doc being away is worrying. Im sure he will hold up though, and youll be fine. Put your feet up and dont worry! Just think, in a weeks time he may be in your arms!! I cant wait to meet my baby, altho im terrified about the birth. Iv been reading a lot about it and am trying to remain calm. I know its not going to be easy but i have to do it and grit my teeth. I guess this is every first time mothers fear!! Its funny how we spend so long stressing about getting pregnant and keeping the baby and dont give a second though to the ultimate consequence - the birth!! Bryandi, wow that is some amount of cleaning, you must be nesting a bit earlier or something! Have you got people coming over or are you just in a spring clean mood? I dont think i could even attempt to clean like that at the moment, i just dont have the energy or the agility haha. Well actually i hurt my knee a week or so ago and am really worried because i cant put any weight on it all and i know if it dosnt ease up its going to really affect me in labour. If i want to be on my knees or all 4s i wont be able too. I think its a trapped nerve so massage isnt helping at all. Its so typical isnt it. Smmom didnt you hav labour with a broken leg once? How did you do it?? By the way thanks everyone for the thoughts on the name change. I had another chat with dh and hes happy with any of the three we like and he really dosnt mind if we do decide to change it. So i feel a bit better.Still dont know why im feeling like i need to change it as tyler rolls off my lips, but there it is. Maybe its some pregnancy brain damage affecting me!! Our surname is St Juste, which sounds english but is said in a french accent so its actually pronounced like San Juice! And with it being quite a soft sound then most names seem to go well with it. All of my family have bible names so Malachi is their no 1 choice. Iv allways liked the name. I love Tyler too and Bailey is also lovely. I still dont know. I think we are favouring Malachi at the moment pronounced like Malak aye not ee. But hey ive got just under 8 weeks to go. Anything could happen! Shabnam, im hoping you get chance to post today with some wonderful news!! That would be great. To everyone else hope you all had a lovely weekend and take care x x ↑
Hi girls - did you miss me? I certainly missed all of you! I have been catching up with all of you the past few days - sounds like alot has happened. I am sorry I can't remember everything, but JUDI - so happy for you getting your BFP. Well where do I begin? Life has been so difficult these past few weeks - so quick recap....I took a test on Thursday 7/31 when I got up. Much to my suprise (ok, to be honest I felt like I just "knew" I was) it was a blaring BFP - I was shaking, crying just feeling so relieved as I just felt this was the one that was going to work out for us. Anyway- told DH that night over a romantic dinner, it was truly one of the most special moments in my life. We both just felt at peace and the scary part of it being after two losses hadn't sunk in yet. It was just that blissful first few hours when you and he have this amazing secret. So Friday Morning got up and went to work, then my world was turned upside down. I don't remember exactly what happened, but an 18 wheeler lost control coming down a hill and jack knifed sweeping me down the hill with it. Honestly I have no idea how I am alive after seeing what my car looked like, next thing I know I woke up in the hospital, They had to do all kinds of tests to make sure I didn't have any permanent damage as I was unconscious for a bit of time. I broke my leg in three places and i am covered in bruises. I am so lucky to be alive, it was just one of those wrong place wrong time things. When i saw the truck coming at me I ducked down which they think saved my life as a piece of the truck went through my windshield and into the drivers seat. You wouldn't believe it girls, it was right out of a movie. It is just all so surreal, one moment my world was about as good as it can get the next DH and I are once again clinging to eachother trying to weather yet another loss. My Dh had told the doctors that I was pregnant and they didn't seem hopeful that it was a viable pregnancy at this point. According to the dr. the impact and the seatbelt would be enough to damage the fetus. Sure enough they did an ultrasound and there was nothing there - they decided to wait because I was so early but I started bleeding that day and had what they would call more of a chemical than a miscarriage, but its all the same to me. The good thing is I didn't need a D&C since I was so early. And also there was no permanent damage done to my reproductive area so after my body and mind heal I could try again.... SO here I am scared, confused and just angry! How on earth am I supposed to justify this in my mind? I can't even begin to heal yet so I am just taking it day by day. The one good thing that came of this is my complete and total love I have for my DH and DS. A baby isn't everything to me anymore, it would be nice and I still want one someday, but I have so much already, if DS is the only shot I get at being a mom, you will never hear me complain. Truly going through this experience has made me much more grateful for the life I have. I have months of PT to get back to "normal" ... well girls, I am off to take a nap. They have me on so many medications I am always tired. Love to you all and thank you all for your kind words, you are truly an amazing group of women and I am proud to be part of this group. I will check in later..... LISA ↑
Hello ladies...... KATH....haha...chocolate surprise !!!!!!!!! You made me laugh !!! MISSP...I am positive that no matter what name you chose for little man, not only will we all love it, but most of all you will love it, and it will be fitting of the cute little fighter you have in there !!!! LISA>...I have been so worried about you, and thinking about you bunches. I am sooo glad you escaped that nasty accident with only some bumps and bruises and a nasty broken leg. I am so glad you are going ot be ok. I am sorry you had to lose your bean,but like you said, you were so early on it did not cause you to have damage, or a d/c. I am glad you can ttc again as soon as you are healed. Again, we will be here with you for everything!!!! I can not even imagine the ordeal you went through...a semi coming at you. How totally scary. ANd sounds like you did some quick thinking to save yourself !! Well...check in as much as possible and let us know how your recovery is coming. Oh MISSP...yes I did have a broken leg, in 3 places, when I was pg with dd. I was 9 months to be exact and delivered with it. It was not as big of a deal, I just couldnt walk to halls and pretty much had to lay there. But I tend to have very fast L & D's so i was lucky. I guess it is all in how you chose to get through labor. I hope your kneee is ok. OK ladies..I have to go baby is crying again !!!! ↑
Peanutk...I dont know if you found your way to #30....but I am sorry about your loss. It is a hard thing to get through. I had my m/c at 12 1/2 weeks and the baby died at 12 weeks. So...you just never knwo when it can happen, whether 5 wks, 12 wks, or 18 wks...it is sad and scary to go through. And no man or other woman knows what you are going through unless they to have it happen to them. That is why we are all here...support. And I tell you these ladies are the best !! It is normal to feel sad and wonder when and if it can happen again. My dh also told me he wanted to wait...I think most do. But...I am now 37 weeks pg with a healhty baby. SO it can happen. ↑
Ok so to catch up on the other thread. Jstay, your doc sounds awesome! You are very lucky!
My doc is good, but not that awesome!
Shana, sorry that 8/8/08 was a rough day for you. I know there is not way to ease the pain,
you can only grieve and let it out. It is too soon for DH to feel our little bean yet. She moves
around a lot, but I don't think the movement is strong enough to be felt on the outside yet, only the inside.
Lexxy, sorry AF showed her ugly face for you. It is tough everytime she comes around. Let's hope she doesn't come next month.
Peanut, sorry you are in such a tough spot right now. So many people just don't understand, and even though your dh loves you it just
doesn't mean so much and in the same way to him as it does to you to know that even if it was just a week, it was your baby and it was inside of you.
I am sorry that it feels like everyone in your life is being unsupportive. They might not know what to say or how to deal with it. You have come to the right place,
I hope you can find the support you need from all of the ladies here on the thread. ↑
There you are smmom I was worried when I checked in last night to see you hadn't been on as much as usual. I totally think you
passed the energy torch to me smmom. I just feel like everything needs to be done, and not just kind of done, but done well.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that when we were finishing the basement and moving our bedroom and converting our old bedroom
to the playroom the house got very disorganized and messy. I have a one track mind and I had no interest in detail cleaning until our projects were done.
Now I want the house spotless! yet another day down and you are still holding Carson in! MissP we don't have anyone coming over, it just has been a while since I
really did some good cleaning. I love the name Malachi. LOL before I had kids I had my two names picked out. Chloey and Malachai....now that we are having kids, my two favorite
names are taken. Oh well. I also like Bailey a lot, and I considered Bailey for this baby, but dh didn't like it so much. LISA so glad to hear from you. I am sorry you went through such a terrible accident. I am so glad that you have your life, though. It sounds like it certainly changed
your perspective a bit. I hope you heal quickly and completely so you can enjoy your dh and ds (btw dh is fantastic in my book!) and maybe think about a new little bean when you are ready! THanks for the
kind words and get some rest. We are all thinking of you! Alright ladies, I am going to bed. I am exhausted. Good night! Oh btw SHANA & JSTAY we are 22 weeks this week! ↑
BRYANDI....I can not believe all you girls are 22 weeks already. That just seems so fast to me. Here I am almost done, SHab is done...speaking of, I am dying to hear about it, And you girls are half way. And we have a whole new group starting and ttc !! This doesnt get any better....we have come such a long way girls. I am so happy for us all. To all my TTC girls......This will be you shortly, this is what you DO have to look forward to !!! ANyways...I am ranting.....I did pass the energy torch to you bryandi....I WANT IT BACK !!! hahaha. I am so missing being able to get things done. I do gets bursts of energy...so when I do I try to get as much done as possible. I know what you mean about changing a rooma round, and then you have to do the whole house cause everything is out of order !!! We are starting our basement in Sept...after Carson is here. SO it will be interesting to see how is messes up my house !!! It is going to drive me crazy !!! ANyways...LISA>..again...we do love your dh for telling us what happened and that you were ok. ANd I can not be thankful enough that you are ok !!! Like you said...the good thing is that they considered it a chemical which means you didnt have to have a d/c and you can get pg again soon !!!! I believ you do not even have to wait cycles....except you NEED to let your bodya nd mind heal from what you went through !! OK...gotta go lay down and make sure Carson stays put !!! ↑
Whaw, you all seem to know each other so well! I'm trying to read through it all, but it's just a one big mess in my head. Looks like most of you are just a week before the arrival of your little ones. It' s great! Today is my cd7 and I hope like never before, that it will finally happen. 16 months! It feels like an eternity!!! I really don't understand why such a silence when before we got pregnant straight away both times. ~~~~~lisamc, I'm so so sorry for your accident and subsequent loss. I hope you will heal very shortly to start ttc again. All the best to ladies who are just few days before welcoming their babies and others who ttc. ↑
hi guys..just checking in....AF due for me around next Tuesday.....fingers crossed she forgot my address for the next 9 months.....LISA, so glad to hear from you. I hear you re the anger and also about the line "if ds (or in my case Lily) is the only one, there are NO complaints". I have said and thought that many times myself. I'm really thankful you are okay, although at times you WILL feel so ripped off and cheated. I certainly do sometimes and I wasn't hit by a huge truck.....I'm just so happy to see you posting. Shelly, stop typing and concentrate on effacing!!! Don't make me come up there (to America) !! :) Things are sure getting exciting for some of you here....maybebaby, keep reading.....everyone will fall into place. I am constantly trying to keep up myself with the crew, but if you read everyday you will get everyone straight in your mind! For those TTC anyone else in the 2ww?? ↑
hey ladies... just checking in. I'm glad everyone seems to be doing okay. Including LISA.... you have a great mindset after what happened. I hope that stays with you. You're son by the way just sounds like the sweetest thing ever! I sure hope my son and I have a relationship like yours. They say boys are made for their mamas! MAYBEBABY....welcome and I am so sorry for your lil one you lost. We've all been there and still every time there is someone new posting and telling there story.... I feel the loss all over again. It's so healthy to be in a place like this. I'm not ready to forget about my first lil one eventhough I am preg 22 weeks with my second child, a son, now! They are both my children eventhough I lost my first at 13 weeks. But do keep posting and chatting with us. We can hold your had on the ttc adventure and be there when you need to vent! You will get to know the ladies and there stories in no time at all! SMMOM... you are so almost there! I am so happy (and a lil jealous!) that you get to meet your lil man!!!!!!!! in just a couple weeks! I can not wait to be where you are! I know it's gunna come quick tho. I remember being newly preg and hearing about you and carson in the sec trimester and saying I can't wait to be where you are! Now I am! 22 weeks! Shesh! That's just wonderful huh?!! Also just wanna say best of luck to LILY!!!!! I am praying you get this so that JUDI won't be alone this cycle too! WOuldn't that be great for you both! Well ladies.... as for me and Ethan... we are wonderful! Last night DH actually got to see our son moving inside and DH was like "no way!" and then put his hand on my belly to see if he could feel it.... I thought oh great now ethan's gunna stop moving... but HE DIDN"T! DH actually got to feel a BIG kick too! I think it may have been the beggest kick so far for me too. I almost made me jump! Dh and so happy. We were sitting at the dinner table and Ethan was dancing like crazy so I told DH to come lay down with me and see if he would keep moving. He sure did! Then we started playing this game with him inside. I pretend to be yelling for someone in the next room. Not sure why (if it's the vibrations, my stomach muscles contracting when I shout, or just the plain noise of it!) but Ethan moves like CRAZY! It was so cool! We are hoping to be able to get some more movements on the camera next week. We'll see! ALso his room is coming together.... much slower than I would like, but alot of stuff we just don't have for the room cuz it will go on the registery to receive as gifts. So in time we will have that stuff too. I finally found hangers! This has been a process. I wanted them to be green to match the nursery (someone asked what we were using "Bunny Meadow" at babies r us is what DH picked. I really like it as our house is very old english like with lots of solid wood doors and framing work and creamy shades and patterens on the walls, so this set is very earthy colored and calm) But I also wanted clips on the hangers for his outfits. Well those two things, green with clips, never come together! Or I couldn't find them. It was driving me crazy and became a competion in my head. I wanted them so it was driving me nuts. I think I was driving my BFF nuts along the way who thinks I should just use the hangers the clothes come with (is it bad that I didn't want to... I wanted it to match his room) Whatev.... I found them! Now I just need to find the 0-3, 3-6, etc labels the stores use on their wracks. I want his walk in closet to be organized! Dh says it's gunna look like a high end baby department store! I'd be okay with that....they're organized! lol. Anyway... that was my battle last night. But things are good here all around. Be in touch soon! ↑
Lisa -im so happy to hear that your doing ok after what must have been really scarey - if you could remember it, its probably a blesing that you cant. Your poor leg. And im so pleased theres no permanent damage inside after all of that trauma. You myust be very frustrated with how life is going for you but on the other hand your so lucky to still be here and you obviously have a beautiful little family already. Its great that your thinking positive. I hope you can start to recover from this soon and it dosnt hold you back too much. Shana - glad that dh managed to feel that kick! Its great the first time someone else finally catches one. In a matter of weeks he wont have to try because believe me youll be able to SEE them and thats when it starts hurting and you cant believe how big hes getting! Maybebaby - dont worry you will eventually figure out who we all are and where we are along the preg journey - im 32 and a bit weeks, due early october. My prev mc was last October so not even a year will have passed and il hopefully be holding my healthy little boy. Things can change fast, so stay positive and hang in there. Bryandi im going to change your name to cleaning lady or something - too much energy!! Pls pass some to me, i have none. Im feeling massive and totally unable to move at the moment and scared myself today when someone asked how far i had to go and i realised it was 7 and a half weeks! Argh! Thats too soon! Anyway thats my freak for the day. Smmom, cant believe that a totally wrecked leg didnt affect you that much in childbirth, where did you put it? I hope mine is fast also so i dont have to worry about my knee. Ok well im off to find some chocolate, oh and milk, cant stop drinking it at the moment x x x ↑
MISSP.... I can't wait until I'm seeing it ALL the time. I feel it very often but can only see some. It will be SO exciting. I don't know why but I think it took this to really believe he's in there! After 22 weeks right!? The doctors already feel this is gunna be a long baby (as his femur bone was very long) and DH is just over 6'4! So prettty soon I'm gunna be feeling this string bean all over and just wait til he turns....rib ricks ahhh! But I'm gunna love it I swear! Glad lil Tyler/Bailey/Malachi is doing so good! By the way.... I LOVE all the names. Good strong names. Whichever you choose will be perfect! ↑
Oh, girls! Reading all your wonderful post just sets my mind imagining all those wonderful feelings you must have. What an incredible experience it must be. I think you are going to have a very good influence on me. Many times people say: don't think about it and it will happen. How can I? it's impossible. I think it's ok to think about it, but I have to learn to think about it positively. Looking forward to it, rather than feeling sorry for myself, which I have been doing for the past year. I'm dreading October. I would have had a one year old at home or two year old at Christmas. I crave for our baby so much, it hurts! It's taking forever!~~~?ShanaT/MissP: I've lost both only at 6-7 weeks, I never even made it for a scan. It was only a promise. But I guess it doesn't matter, from tthe moment of BFP it changes our lives forever. I hope that you'll pass on that torch on me! :o) ↑
Hello ladies...I think this week is going slow !!! MAYBEBABY.... cd7, and the bding commences soon. I am praying for you this cycle...I know 16 months is a long time to wait. I have afriend that is going through the same thing. It has been a yr for her. It makes me sad. I am hoping this is your cycle. Just keep reading and you will pick up on all of us. KATH....hahaha, you make me laugh. Stop typing and eface,,....I cant remember my doc is out of town !!!! Until next week, no efacing for me !!! I am throwing all kinds of baby dust on you also for this cycle !!!!! SHANAT......... I am sooo glad DH finally got to feel little Ethan. That is awesome!! I remember when my dh felt it first with Carson, he loved to jiggle my tummy and wake him up !!!! Said...he listens to his daddy !!!! HAHA. We will see. You are where I was...and guess what..I will say it again...pretty soon you will be where i am now..miserable all over again, and soon to meet your baby !!! And Carson will be a couple months old !!! MISSP.....I think I am going to call him babyP for now..since you are missp..he will be babyP...or maybe JrP. Tyler/Bailey/Malachi is just to long !!! hahaha. ANyways...I sooo cant believe you are 32 weeks. That is soooo awesome. Considering they told you you might have to deliver before 30 weeks. Doesnt that seem like forever ago. SO...are you going to have any more u/s at all to check his fluid levels??? ↑
As for me ladies...I am 3 weeks away from having my little man !!!! I took the kids to the children's museum today...they had so much fun !!I had my little niece also...she even loved it !!! I am wiped out now and just trying to relax this week. But then there is so much I want to get done....cleaning my house and keeping it clean for Carson's arrival !!!! It is hard to keep them how you want them !!!! ANyone have a magic cleaning fairy???? ↑
maybebaby, we do know each other very well. Some of us have been here quite a while! Everyone here is great and
we all try to keep track of each other and encourage each other along the way. After talking to each other every day or a couple times a week
we really get to know each other quite well! You will have to bear with us pg ladies. Especially myself lately. We have pg brain. Things get fuzzy and\
you start mixing up Tyler's and Carson's and forgeting that you already asked that question....LOL. You said you have had all tests run on you possible, but what
about dh? Have they checked him for sperm count and motility and whatever else it is they check dh's for? Good luck with the bding over the next week or two! I hope your first cycle
on this thread brings great success and a long happy healthy 9 mths of being pregnant with it. Lilly, one week left of your 2ww! I have everything crossed for you and am sending two big boxes of
baby dust your way!!! Judy needs a cycle buddy! Shana, glad to hear dh got to feel your little one! That is great! I bet that made things so much more real to him! MissP you don't need to accomplish anything, but R&R.
So I won't share the energy torch with you...sorry. I am so glad you have made it 2 weeks past the 30 weeks they had originally thought and want to make sure you make it the remaining 7 and a half weeks! No cleaning for yoU!
Plus that knee needs to heal. maybebaby it is very hard not to think about getting pg again. We all know how much it can consume you. We all went through it. It is a good idea to try to keep a positive outlook, though. 3 weeks smmom! How crazy is that?
I totally wouldn't be surprised if Carson waited just until your doc comes back from vacay and then decides it is time sometime next week. He does seem to have a mind of his own in there! Ok so I am pooped...plus I need to get to work early tomorrow. YUCK!
I got ds bedroom half shampooed and called it good tonight. I am going to let dh tackle the bathroom, because all the cleaning stuff in a smaller room makes me feel ill. Goodnight ladies! ↑
BRYANDI.........hahahahah...mixing up carson's and JrP's !!! HAHA. Made me laugh ! I agree though MIssP...no energy torch for you !!! Especially if you are starting to feel anything like what I do !!! If Bryandi is right and Carson makes his way next week...then I will gladly pass you the baby torch !!! HAHA...I do believe you are next in line...you and Clauds and I think following you is Sarah9. SPeaking of..where are you ladies. KATH...only a short more time before ou will be joining Judi. ERIN...I hope you are doing well...and not giving up !! I know it is so frrustrating and heart breaking....but you have to hang in there. I hope you are ok. JILL...hows your mom and your little one doing?? MAYBE... I forgot to ask...why are they making you wait 4 months for the laproscopy?? Are they trying something else in the meantime?? OK ladies....I have to lay down..having way to many bh !!!! ↑
Yes, I do have a lot to catch up, but I think I'm getting seriously hooked! :o) I know it must be a pain to repeat yourselves so many times, but perhaps you could help me and tell me a little bit about your ttc history and yr children. :o) ~~~Bryandi, DH had his test done too and the doctor seemed more than pleased with his results. So it must be that my eggs are hiding away from his superracers. :o) ~~~~Smom, here in UK everything takes ages, but it is all free in the end. I'm on a waiting list, haven't got my day confirmed yet, but the nurse estimated 3-4 months. In the meantime I can only hope and I'm going for a private acupunture consultation this evening to see if I can help it myself. Has anyone done that btw? ↑
Hi girls. Thank you all for your warm wishes and for thinking of me. Your support means so much to me. Lillymummy(is it Kath?): We are both so blessed that we have our little ones, it doesn't make a m/c any easier to deal with, but at the end of the day I have the most amazing child and watching him grow into a young man is the best gift I have ever been given. Yes I would love more than anything to have a biological child with my DH, but at least I know my son would be enough for him if that is the extent of our parenting. He always has said, at least we know we tried .... yes SHANA - my DS and I are so close, its true what they say about boys and their mama's. He is so protective of me and just the best thing ever, both my boys (drives DH crazy when I refer to him as one of my BOYS....after he is a MAN! ha ha) are wonderful. They are taking such good care of me right now. My DS has no idea about any of my babies that I lost, he has enough to deal with so I want to shield him from this as much as I can. I know he would love a baby in the house but I don't want to give him that and yank it away. Once I get pregnant and I know all is well I will include him, but not until then. I think this accident reminded all of us how lucky we are to have eachother. Sometimes something like a tragedy can put it all in perspective for you. Oh boy I am rambling, can you tell I don't get much adult conversation? I have been bed ridden for weeks, the thought of driving a car scares me right now, but I go back to work in another week and I have an hour commute so I better get past that! SMMOM: how weird we both had legs broken in three places? that doesn't happen too often. You sound like your getting close - any new news? MISSP: Sounds like you are getting close too - how is the baby doing? Decided on a name yet? I had my someday children named when I was a child myself... always wanted a Tyler, my Dh at the time didn't like the name but I didn't care - that is what I had decided and so I kept it. I like it because he is the only Tyler I know and the only one in his class at school. MAYBEBABY: Welcome! you will find it comforting here and I hope we see you right thru your successful pregnancy! I have lost 3 now... first two were m/c at week 9ish... but both babies stopped growing at 6-7 weeks the last was just a few weeks ago in a car accident - I was only 4 weeks or so along so I didn't require any medical intervention with that one (got my BFP the day before)... so back to square one for me. I also have a 10 year old DS from my previous marriage (got preggers with him on the first try! so you can imagine my suprise that I am 2 years into this and only losses to show for it!) Hopefully we will have some good news of our own to share soon. I don't think I can even ttc for at least another month but we will see. Where is JUDI??? I am worried because she hasn't been here. ↑
hi, i am here, LISA! i have just been reading and following everyone's posts the past few days, but have not been writing. work sucks so it's tough to take time to write to each of you. but i'm going to take a break and write since you are so kind to be concerned. first, as i mentioned before, i am sorry about your loss and this crazy accident. i am so glad you are ok, God bless, but sad for your baby. i am hopeful that whenever you heal, hopefully soon, you can get back to ttc and be pg again. and if not, God forbid, then you def have your wonderful son, God bless. way to be positive. MAYBEBABY - so sorry for your loss and welcome to the group. this has been a great place for my journey to recovery from my mc which i had this past feb. at 17 weeks (but they said the baby measured at 15 weeks). i recently got my bfp, God bless, but i am totally freaked out and i don't have my 1st appt until 08.25.08 so i pray everyday. i also pray that you have your recovery and bfp soon too, God willing. SMMOM - sooo close, how exciting. keep relaxing w/those bh contractions! BRYANDI - i am still hearing you on work sucking... try to take it easy, your energy is amazing! MISSP - so glad you and baby have gotten so far along, God bless. the names are all wonderful but initially i was pronouncing malachi as mala-chi and wasn't feeling it. now that i know what the pronounciation is, i am down w/that name b/c it's unique. hope you figure it out soon. SHANA - sorry about how you were feelilng about the edd. i don't agree w/your mom about not being on this thread. i don't ever want to forget about our baby. in fact, when people ask if we have kids, i say yes, a baby in heaven b/c i don't want to not acknowledge him. oh and i saw "bunny meadow" on babies r us... simple but elegant. nice choice! ERIN - are you still reading or have you taken a long break away from it all? JSTALEY - where are you? haven't heard from you or CLAUDS in a while. SHABNAM - can't wait until you get back and tell us about cute little shireen! CYNNBABY - looking forward to hearing your mommy stories. SARAH9 - still MIA? you must chime in to tell us how you are! COL - i think is permanently out of the thread? along w/KENDALYN, DESTINY and DECBABY. have i forgotten anyone? hopefully not. ok ladies, back to work. ↑
Hi, Girls! Sorry JUDI…I’m here. Like you though, work has been nuts and I am so tired all the time. I cannot wait for my little babe to get here so I can not come to this office for a few weeks. Don’t know how much of a “vacation” it will be with the sleep deprivation and all but totally better. I had my 20 week appt yesterday (at 21.5 weeks) and it went well. I just love seeing my baby. Babe was a little on the small side but only off by a week and a few days and they said they don’t worry unless they are like 3 weeks small so I guess all is well. My placenta was also just a bit close to my cervix but they expect that will go up. And I’ve only put on 1 more freakin’ pound. I was concerned that I was doing something wrong and that baby and I were too small for this point but the doc said everything was fine and I shouldn’t worry. I still don’t get it…I eat a lot! Doc said all was good so I’m not going to worry! Okay so, JUDI, how are you and where are you at in your cycle? MISS P…I love the name Malachi. It’s my vote, totally. LISA, so relieved to hear from you. I have been pretty worried and I can’t imagine what that was like for you! It totally sounds straight out of a movie. I’m just glad your back and your spirit is totally encouraging to me. We love you here and are so glad you are safe. BRYANDI…your nuts! You are so busy! DH and I have been working hard too. We just go some plumbing work done so the washer is working again…Yay! And we are working on getting all our vents cleaned out and the furnace serviced, then we gotta move DH’s office stuff out so I can paint and get the carpets cleaned and move in baby stuff. Huh…guess we’re busy too. Nesting fools! I can’t believe you and Shana and I are 22 weeks. It’s amazing and I just feel so stinkin’ blessed. Shana, how are you doing after 8/8/08? I said a special prayer for ya. How is Ethan? My DH got to feel baby kick for the first time the other night too. I was sure it would never happen cause every time we tried baby stopped but not this time. Baby whacked him real good. His eyes got all big and he was like, “That must feel so weird for you!” Yeah, but I just love it too. Okay, LILY…I’m keeping fingers crossed AF forgot your address too. Less than a week until we know! Shelly, how’s it hangin’? Is that an inappropriate question for this stage? Hee hee.. Please remember every detail right now cause I’m gonna have a million questions for you. Losing anymore plug or do you think it’s mostly gone? I don’t know why, but I’m totally freaked out by that part. Did you ever take Lamaze? I’m thinking of skipping it. I was going to take a breastfeeding class though. What do you think? Hi, MAYBEBABY and welcome! We love adding new sisters to the crew although we’re always saddened at the circumstances that bring you to us. I hope we can offer support and encouragement to you. My story in a nutshell… DH and I tried one time for our first baby last August and lucked out! I found out at my 8 week appt that I had a blighted ovum. I had a D&C in late September. Had some trouble with my HCG levels dropping so they were afraid it might be a molar pregnancy but my levels finally dropped and we were given the green light to try again in December. It took us until April this year. So not too bad but I sure was losing my mind. The first time was so easy and the second…not so much. But, finally we got our baby on the way. I’m due with Bryandi and Shana around the 18th of December. Please let us know if you have any ttc questions after a m/c. Things can be really different emotionally and physically and these ladies totally got me through. Again, welcome. I’d better get to work girls but I’ll try to post more instead of every so often with these GIANT posts. Happy Hump Day, girlies. ↑
Oh My Goodness!!! Ladies I leave for a week and already a few new threads. I noticed a few new faces and although i didnt read everything I want to say that I am sorry for all the losses. I think I read quickly that Judi got a BFP, congrats on that! Smmom, you are close to the end, how is Carson doing? MissP, there's nothing wrong with changing names... The choice really comes down to what you want to name your child. I hope everything is well with your little one. Lisa, how are you doing. What an awful thing you went through. I wish you a quick recovery. As for me, I went in on the 5th of august for an induction, which failed miserably. Shireen was too high in the womb, and my blood pressure was climbing so dr didn't want me holding my breath and pushing. She arrived at 10:35am on August 6. She is perfect! They did an ultrasound on her kidneys and thank God everything is fine. I on the other hand am still suffering from high blood pressure (very high). I've been back to the hospital twice and I am scheduled to go back on Sunday again. DH and I are staying with my parents for the week so that is helping alot! I will try to catch up with all your stories soon. But for now I need to be resting... Take good care ladies and I look forward to hearing more good news on this thread. ↑
LILYMUMMY - completely forgot to wish you patience and luck for the 1 week left in the 2ww. i am hoping you join me and we both enjoy this pg journey together and hopefully LEXXY and ERIN can join us too. LEXXY - i also forgot to post to you, where are you in your cycle? JSTALEY - so good to hear from you! thanks for writing. definitely sounds like all you 20+ week women are nesting, haha. good for you! i have to tell you i am totally scared about the blighted ovum. actually, i am scared about everything. i am trying to enjoy the few weeks i have been pg (6 according to american pg assoc. calculator), but i won't be at ease until my first appt which is in 12 days. i am looking forward to seeing a healthy heartbeat and finding all good results, God willing! please pray for me like you prayed for SHANA! after that i am going to have them monitor the hb every week starting at 11 wks per my rheumatologist. then God willing, at 16 wks i am going to begin ecocardiograms for the baby. although it sounds like a lot, i am very much looking forward to it! sometimes i feel i shouldn't get ahead of myself, but how can i not get excited. i really want this baby to be a healthy keeper, God willing. SHABNAM!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS! oh my goodness, i am so happy that shireen is perfect w/no kidney issues at all, God bless!!! you have to put up pictures! i am praying that your blood pressure calms itself down. keep us posted whenever you can, but keep resting!!! oh and yes, you read right, i did get my bfp and i am hoping this is my keeper! please pray for me! ↑
