Hi kell!! Time is just zooming by isn't it? I have ordered some baby k things in the mothercare sale for 12-18 months! Before I know it he will be running around (but he can't sit even yet!)

Nightmare right now with each of my boys. Not them, by school, childcare and the dra
Dreaded nhs speech therapy. Spoke to ds2 teacher today and recons the school will know what's up within weeks of starting (next week). Feel overwhelmed by life this week.

Petal ~ only 5 months how exciting!!

Kell ~ 8 weeks already and wow what a good sleeper she is! i think my dd needs to spend some time with your baby, maybe she will learn a thing or 2 :P i am one tired mama! My dd is doing great. She’s so interactive now and loves to play with her brothers she’s started giving out open mouthed kisses haha it’s so sweet

Maybebaby ~ fingers crossed life gets easier for you all soon... it’s so worrying isn’t it. I’ve been speaking to the teachers at my sons school (ds2 will start nursery in November) and i’ve had a good response from them. I’ve also been given exercises of the private speech therapist so looking forward to start doing those with him and hopefully that will be of help while we wait for nhs speech therapy. Let us know how it goes with your son, hopefully he will get good support from the school.

Pinga ~ good luck with the move! Exciting times!

Deaks ~ thinking of you, not long to go now

Hi all, finding it so hard to get on here at the moment. Have had my parents staying with me to help me out a bit since tuesday and although it really does help me in many ways, it also causes quite a lot of hard work too... laundry, cooking and hoovering (especially as they have a dog too). Anyway, have finally got me house straight this afternoon and hoping to get on top of emails, fb and our thread! Feels like time is flying by and im desperate to meet my new little man (though everyone teasing me its gonna be a girl ... i even started googling when a boy comes out a girl and how likely that is to happen!). Have got everything sorted for baby and even managed to land myself an ex-display bugaboo £250 reduced! so just need to get hospital bag packed now but going out to buy maternity pads etc doesn't exactly excite me much! Am dreading the birth.... just hoping i get there soon enough for some pain relief!

Anyway, im glad to read most of the bubs on here doing well, though charlie it sounds like there isn't much improvement for you. I really hope you manage to find someone who can help you both very soon as that cracking point is not a nice place to be at all... am thinking of you.

Petal, cant believe its not long till HT.... eek! am desperate for it to go smoothly and work first time for you As you know my plan was to do HT next april, but at the moment i am wandering how on earth i would cope with another pregnancy that soon!

[Sunset]

good luck with the birth deaks! i am very excited for you and cant believe you are nearly full term how exciting! if you don't go for it in april how long do you think you will leave it before going ht?

Hi ladies, wish it was majority rule, because us against my dh would mean i would get my 4th child after all!!!! He says he's not totally against it if we manage to get the extension done in the next year or so .... then promptly resorted to his get out clause '...but I'm too old ...' so back to square 1. Still really clucky, especially now C is getting so big.

Lovely catching up, weeks just pass without getting on to say hi, wish there was the app for android like there is for Apple phones to keep up with this site!! hugs xxx

[deaks66]

Thanks sunset! so glad im nearly full term... going to start of the pineapple, sex and curries as of this tuesday!! Dh and i chatted about ht last night and we are still up for going to california next easter so think we may just book flights and a holiday and then if by the time easter comes i don't want to be pregnant again just yet we could always freeze any female embryos and go back for transfer later (the body is supposed to be more receptive when it isn't as full of meds anyway). But im sure if i get told there is a girl to be used, i wont be able to help myself there and then!

Hi everyone,
Haven't been on here for a while, life has been very hectic. DS1 just started school and I didn't know how stressful and emotional it would be. He's been on half days for the last 2 weeks and I've struggled with all 3 of them in the afternoons. Glad he's starting full time tomorrow so I've got a bit more time for the other 2. Started working again yesterday too (own business) so think I've put a bit too much on my plate.
Glad to read all your posts and see everyone is doing well. Deaks, I can't believe you're nearly there!!! So exciting. Also wonderful news that you and Petal are going for HT.
Life with DS3 is wonderful. He was quite poorly at 6 weeks and in hospital with a Urinary Tract Infection. I don't know whether it's because I had a difficult pregnancy or the scare of him being in hospital but I feel very protective over him, moreso than I did over the other 2 and although I still have a very heavy heart and longing that I don't think will ever go away, DH and I don't think we'll try again and so my swaying journey ends here. We haven't completely ruled out having a 4th in time (although time not completely on my side)but we're not going to plan for it and I just don't think I could go through another sway attempt and don't have the money for HT. To be honest, I'm just about coping with 3 and take my hat off to anyone that has 4+. Without family around I think we'd struggle.
I'm selling my swaying stuff, if anyone wants anything, let me know - http://genderdreaming.com/forum/tryi...m-selling.html
Pinga, lovely to hear that you're coming back to the UK. Where did you decide to move back to in the end? Pleased to hear Duke is doing well

Hey hun, yes we decided fairly early on that our first attempt will be in the US. I think realistically there will be only one attempt there unless there is a spare to freeze in which case i will return alone somehow. Any other attempt/s will be at genesis but i wanted to try HRC first as i don't think dh would have agreed to the US as a second or third attempt as it is more expensive. Plus i know at genesis they are more keen to replace more than one egg and that wont be an option for us at all.

I didn't realise charlies little boy had been readmitted to hoss.. thats awful but i really hope they can get to the bottom of things now.

Maybepink, lovely to hear from you. Glad things are better with ds3, he sounds like a little angel. I think we all get that heavy heart feeling... hopefully it makes us into stronger women who take things for granted less.... thats what i tell myself anyway! Not convinced ht will work for me anyway so im sure i will be in the same position considering an au natural 4th but just don't think i can cope with the emotional rollercoaster again.

Hi everyone else! X
