Uk SMOG Wannabes ~ January

[Babymad]

Morning!!

Deaks, glad ur feeling a better about attempt and things are going well? Is it this weekend ur attempt? or beg next wk?

Lavender, so glad the bleeding has stopped! Had u take the same cranberry strength before?? I had to half my initial dose due to low ph, but worth keeping an eye on. x

Indigo, wish i could fit into lycra!! Even pre-pg! Good for you runnning, last time I went on a 'running' spree I was off work for 6wks with sciatica and had to get intensive pysiotherapy, lost alot of weight running, but never again! You must be chuffed to see ur wee bump coming on...reassuring!

Hello to everyone else!!!

Ok what do u ladies think.....names for the Aubergines today!!!

We have decided to call the Girls Ruby and Amber. (I loved Ruby, which is a precious stone and Dh likes Amber also being a precious stone, so they seem to match well).

Beautiful names for the Aubergines I love them both xx

Thanks hun xx Feeling a bit better today. I have just been feeling down about bubs being a boy.... I needed a few days without being online before they carted me off in a white coat!!
This is the end of the line for our dream of having a DD and its very hard to think I will more than likely have to accept NEVER having a DD, I just don't know where to start......
Our journey has been a long one with lots of heart ache a long the way so I am pleased that my family is now complete but the sadness and longing never get any easier, how do you live with that forever, the last 8 years has been hard enough I just wish I didn't feel the way I do...how many times can you grieve for the DD that never was/ or was taken from you
Sorry didn't mean to off load my waffle onto you.
How are you doing? Great that you have felt baby kicking.....its lovely xx

Baby mad the specualtion seems to be really upsetting you. Please consider getting a sexing scan because you may have your dd growing in your belly and all this heartache could be put to a stop. If it is a DS you will know for sure and can focus on names and outfits and positive things. hugs hon x

Inglewood – ruby and amber are great names and go together really well.

Sunset – fantastic piccies. You look great! And bless Serena is gorgeous… I love newborns! They are just so magical.

Deaks – relaxing all the opking and temping will make this next attempt so much more enjoyable. Relaxing is good. With DS1 and DS2 I fell pregnant during/after a holiday… so relaxing must help! Fingers crossed it will lead to your BFP…

Zanacal – hope you feel better soon!

Babymad - I agree with Lavender - maybe finding out will help. I have been feeling stressed out that this baby is a boy. I am finding out in 2 weeks. After all my nub guesses being boy I have decided it is a boy and I was really down for a while. I then spent some time discussing boys names with DH and I have to say... I started to feel much brighter. I know I still haven't come to terms with the idea of never having a girl but I will deal with that in the future...

Well I had my first appointment at the hospital. Seen the midwife once but saw the doc today. I like my doctor – a good looking and very friendly man  Ended up being at the hospital for 4 hours! Thank god its holidays and the boys were at home with DH. First the doc wanted to do a smear. Then he organised a blood test and a 24 urine test (I have an ongoing kidney prob)… more waiting. Then he wants to do 2 weekly scans until 24 weeks. I had surgery on my cervix and as DS1 was a 35weeker he wants to watch me. So I had to hang about and get squeezed in for a cervical length scan today… more waiting. I DESPERATELY wanted to ask what the gender is… but couldn’t really as I was being squeezed in and she was super fast! Ahhh just another 2 weeks of waiting!!!! I have another piccie of bub though All these extra appointments with the boys will be so much fun!!!

Anyways – we’re off camping at the beach on Saturday so I’ll be off here for a few days.

Good luck to any attempters!!!

Hi everyone,

Indigo ~ When is your 12 week scan?

Maybe ~ Cant believe you will have a baby soon - very exciting

Anyone attempting soon a part from Deaks? GL x

Its horrible day here...raining and windy. Just about to put the wood burner on

[Inglewood]

Babymad, sorry to hear ur feeling down. The others may be right about the scan? That's why I had to know, as waiting till they came would of cracked me up inside and Dh would of been close to killing me! He admitted he couldn't of lived with my emotions if we didn't know. I wish there was something I could say to help, but you will know the right thing to do, waiting or not. HUGS xx

Pinga, I've had alot of treatment on my cervix over the years, very unpleasant and hence why I can't give birth vaginally!
Enjoy ur camping and 2 wks is not long till u know! x Yeah for ur sweet potato!!!! Thought my pg was zooming fast, they all seem to be!

Lavender, might not be the cranberry then? but might be worth thinking about, do u take aspirin too? We don't know any Ruby's or Amber's either, so hoping till April no-one has a baby locally that we know with those names!

Z, Wow! 25th Feb, my mum's b'day, so won't forget, so exciting!!! trying to upload 4d pics to my photobucket with no joy! Won't give up!!! We have decided as we choose the name Ruby 1st, whatever baby comes out 1st gets Ruby! 2nd baby Amber. The boys choose lovely wee mini build a bears for them, ds not too enthusiastic to be putting the wee dress he choose on the bear, typical 9yr old boy!! but ds2 was loving it!!!! he'll be playing with dolls for sure!!

We have told family and friends now, but haven't FB it yet, my mum wants to get a hold of a few people before then, so I will do it eventually! Everyone so happy for us, it's lovely. The shock of 2 babies was alot for us both to take in and still is, but abit easier to take in knowing it's girls. Esp with them being identical twins, either boys or girls would of been a new experience for us, but I do feel very lucky, although won't 100% let myself believe it till they are here in my arms.

Inglewood! so pleased the ascan went so well and your boys had an amazing day! i absolutely love the name Amber i have always loved it! My mams family dog which sadly passed away a few month ago was called Amber. but i love it for a girl! I dont know anyone with that name round here but there is alot of Rubys but all the same they are both beautiful names!

[Inglewood]

Thanks LMW! luckily there are NO Ruby's around here at all, so kinna glad and hoping it stays that way till April! I do know of 1 Amber, but it's friend thru another friend kinna thing, so Fx it doesn't get used either.

[littlemisswilko]

i also agree with the girls Babymad, that you should maby think about going for a sexing scan. just to put yourself at ease with the whole situation instead of obsessing over it! i thought the way petal went around it and had a sexing scan without her dh knowing was definitely a good idea and one i have started to think about. i dont know how im going to react when im told and really dont know if id be able to cope with my emotions as well as my dp at the same time if this one is a boy. Maby if i knew first then i could get over it in time before my dp knew IYKWIM. I will come to that stage when the time comes. who knows what i will decide

[charlieispy]

Babymad - thought that was the case.....time away but also time to grieve - although you dont know for sure your dream is over yet....is that harder?? I dont know x All i know is I think i will be joining you I know potty shots arent great at 13wks but am sure this is a little boy too. I keep dreaming i give birth to a girl then I wake up and remind myself to stop. I hope that although it will be my last baby and it will kill me to know I will NEVER have a a girl that knowing i will have no more will stop the wondering.....not the desire for a girl but the what ifs. I will never have more than 4 kids so I will have to focus on what i do have. Sorry for waffling I just want to give you a big hug I think back to my 20wk scan with ds3 and how my world collapsed. I have everything crossed that you have a little princess in your belly and we both know even through all the pain of if we have boys we will love them so so much it just still hurts. Here if you need me hun x

[charlieispy]
