oh amanda. i feel like im holding my breath!!!! trying to keep a lid on my excitement for you. all i want to do is vomit various baby related smilies all over my post lol. alright maybe just one

bahahaha!!!

bbl when kids sleeping

Amanda, soooo excited for you. Have just got home from a lovely dinner with friends and this news has made my night. x

Amanda, I am soo excited for you. That is just wonderful news.

Once again, I have to apologise for not posting more frequently. I have been having a tough time of it lately and have recently been diagnosed with PND. Pretty much this has been brought on by me not being able to cope any longer with Alex's reflux and therefore his all day screaming and not sleeping. Anyway we have seen a new pead and he has been put on some stronger meds and I am on some AD's, so am hoping that we will soon come out the other side.

Amanda, again a huge congratulations to you.

Yay! I just looked at your ff chart and that your temp is still up and another bfp!! 5th November is my wedding anniversary

I told dh and he is so happy for you!

Thank you, girls! I really appreciate your support and congratulations . I am still this one will stick, but so far, so good. I even decided to change my sig and enter in the BFPs on FF today, so I am trying to be a little more confident that everything will be okay.

Liz, I am so sorry to hear that Alex's reflux is still so bad, and that you have understandably been finding things tough. I am glad you have sought help, and I do hope everything will be much better for all of you very soon .

Rebecca, your mentioning my EDD is your anniversary date has reminded me about my wedding anniversary! It is the 25th of November, and this year is our 10th anniversary . I had hoped to do something special. I just asked DH what we will do for our anniversary now, and he said "be changing lots of nappies!" Hopefully we can do something nice though.

I told my mum yesterday. Well, actually she was over here and spotted the HPT box with the rubbish and asked me. To my surprise she congratulated me and gave me a kiss on the cheek and said it was exciting. I was expecting her to say, "But what if it's another boy?" after her 'Why would you be trying again when you'll probably just have another boy' comment last year. So that was a pleasant surprise.

My SIL went to the FS again this week - they are now doing egg pick up on Monday, and I think two embryos will be transferred back later in the week. I am so excited for them! I really really hope it works out for them first cycle. It would be so nice to be pregnant together.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

yay Amanda, that line is so dark looks like congrats are in order

Does anyone know about a bad gastro going around brisbane atm? My parents just got a call from my sister to come and watch their dd as BIL is in hospital, must be pretty bad and I'm worried about them

She's at Mt Warren Park.

Rebecca, Hows your BIL. I haven't heard or read anything about a gastro outbreak. Hope he gets better soon.

Liz, Sorry to hear you've been having such a rough time. I hope thigs start to get better for you really soon. keep us posted I hope Alex's new meds make a difference.

Amanda, i got goosebumps when i saw your new sig....Yay. 5th November is also my brothers birthday and he is a lovely guy. . very happy for you.

Well i have such a lazy day. I really should be folding clothes and cleaning this house, but i haven't done a thing. Well H and i walked to the park and then have played outside all day, but not much housewok. H has decided NO sleep today...help me. I'm sure he will crash around 5pm.Oh no. ANyway i really need to find some motivation and get moving on some cleaning.

x:)

Okay, maybe I should stop worrying so much now !


today's test - getting darker!

OK, so i am going to do it...

CONGRATULATIONS AMANDA!!!!

This is wonderful news, oh and



OK, so will now keep everything crossed its a sticky one for you Amanda and you and DH and Jordan and Coen can enjoy this time.



Liz - i am so sorry that you have been so down. I am very proud of you that you got help though, hopefully between the help you are getting and the help Alex is getting you can find an equilibrium. Don't feel bad about not posting, but remember we are here anytime, 24/7 if you need to get anyhting out of your system!!

OK, rampaging baby on the loose, so better go!

Yes Amanda - its darker woo hoo Sticky vibes are coming your way!

Liz, I really hope things improve for you - my 1st was a horror as well (latching difficulties for 3 months rather than reflux) but he just cried it seemed 24h a day for those months, and it's just so hard to take. It sounds like you are taking the right steps to keep going forward, and lets hope the meds make a difference for you both xo

me - went out for tea with 8 gals from mothers group.... it was bliss!! First time we have gone out without the babies, and we just all got on like a house on fire - all of a sudden it was 11pm and time to go home, no idea where the time went - we will have to do it again soon.

Milly fell over in our kitchen this arvo, and whacked her head on the floor - and now has a huge blue egg on her forehead, poor girl! She is so tough though, cried for about a minute, and I put a cold washer on her head and she was running about again another minute later...

Have a good weekend everyone

xo
ginny

Amanda, CONGRATULATIONS..... So glad i have a preg buddy to share this experience with... Here's to an uneventful 8 months. So so so so happy for you. xxx

Ginny, it certainly does sound like bliss. Glad you had a great night. And poor Milly, ouch. Hope her "egg" goes away soon and she has a good night sleep.

HIP HIP HOORRRAYYYY!!!!! AMANDA!!!!

Ginny sounds like a great night!

Liz - Sorry to hear that you have been having a tough time. Hopefully things will ease for you. Sometimes the hardest part is telling someone your struggling.

ok here comes the similes vomit (although some have beaten me to it)

wow i think i got it all up
no
wait
here comes some more


liz - you should feel proud for getting some help. although i have never had pnd, i have been on ad before and i felt that just by saying to the dr that i needed some help, helped me greatly. i hope that things are looking up soon.

just nicked a few chocies from dh while he is at the football. really shouldnt as still trying to be good and lose all that extra weight but ive been doing so well. so far i have lost 29KG!!!!! im feeling sooo good, its nearly time to go down a size in clothes which will mean some serious shopping

Rebecca, I am on the northside of Brisbane, and haven't heard about the gastro. Sounds bad though. I hope your BIL is better soon, and that your sister and niece don't get it.

Holly, hey belly buddy! Coen has decided to skip having a nap the last 2 days - definitely don't want that to be come a habit. He crashed early yesterday. DH managed to change him into a night nappy without waking him, and he's still asleep. Sounds like you and Hudson had a fun day yesterday!

Ginny, dinner out sans bubs sounds fun! Hope Milly is feeling okay after her fall. Coen has given himself a few eggs too.

Brooke, 29kg!!! Wow! That is an amazing achievement ! You definitely deserve to go and splurge on a new wardrobe of clothes . I am embarrassed to say I have put most of the weight I lost back on .

Thank you all for the congrats and smilies vomit ! Big smile on my face here ! I am definitely past my luteal phase now, which makes me feel a little more confident about things. I POAS this morning - just an IC - and it is darker than yesterday's IC. I have a 3 pack of FR, but this will be the first day in 5 days that I won't be peeing on one. I have found in the afternoon is best, and I will be at work. It is about time I started spacing them out. Too expensive to be POAS with FR on a daily basis! So I will retest with the FR tomorrow afternoon. I know I am being a bit obsessive, but it gives me peace of mind.

I have to work this afternoon; one of the girls there already knows as she is always asking what is happening and had called on Fri for an update. So I am not sure how long I'll be able to keep a lid on my news for. Last time I ended up telling people at work when I was only 4 weeks - not my plan, but a lady came in with undiagnosed spots, and I had to refuse to care for her on the basis that I was pregnant. And people are always asking me if I am trying, so if someone asks, I won't be able to lie, and then the whole hospital will know within a week . Ideally I'd probably prefer to wait until after I have had a scan, but that might not be until I am 12 weeks for the NT, unless my GP distrusts my charting and decides to send me for a dating scan earlier. I think I will wait until I am 6 weeks before going to see my GP.

Have a great Sunday, everyone!
