Dreaming Pink Due Date Group: TTC and Beyond

Haha ironically I had my 20 week scan on Friday morning about 8 hours before the crash.... I was hoping the same thing! But alas, he is still a he. In fact he had the tech giggling because he was yanking on it during the scan! So he's one of those, eh? LMAO

Thanks Pixi... yes one piece, one road rashed piece though! They spent about 30 mins taking all the glass and gravel out of my arm and shoulder... talk about painful! And of course because I'm pregnant I get no pain meds... just lovely.

Charlee, this truly without a doubt sounds like a miracle, but thankfully your boys and baby are fine. Hope you feel better soon too. Big, big hugs.

Charlee, I don't know what to say but thank goodness you are all okay. What a horrendous experience! I can't begin to imagine the terror you must've felt. Is DH okay? He must've been terrified when he was told. How about your boys? I know that you said they weren't injured - thank God! - but how are they coping with the shock of it? You're all in my thoughts. I'm so glad to hear that baby is fine, he's certainly a strong little one. I can understand how something like that would change your view on things, your guardian angels must certainly have been there with you all. Sending you a huge hug from across the pond. Rest plenty & look after yourself. Are you off work as a result of this? X x

The boys were totally fine until last night when we all got into the car for the first time.... they were very scared and asked if Daddy would drive Of course this sent me into a terrible crying fit, but then I've been crying for about 3 days straight.... and I NEVER cry. They are having nightmares too because they both ended up in me with me last night. Dh kindly slept on the couch ... he's been so amazing through this whole thing! He said it was the worst hour of his life after he got the call from police that his wife and kids had been in a rollover crash and were on the way to the hospital

Yes I'm off work this whole week, my boss has been VERY understanding about everything. She even offered to watch my kids if I needed ... like I would ever say yes to that! Haha But the gesture was amazing nonetheless...

Oh gosh Charlee I'm so sorry to hear about that!!! Thank goodness you are ok and sending your way for a speedy recovery (and giving thanks that everyone walked away mostly unscathed.)

Charlee, how terrifying! I'm so glad to hear you are all well. Makes you and all of us appreciate how lucky we are. Hugs to you and your family!

Charlee - I am choking up just reading about your story! How unbelievably terrifying and horrific!!! I am so, so sorry for what you have been through, but PRAISE THE LORD you and your sweet babies (all of them) are ok. I just cannot begin to imagine. Will pray for a super speedy recovery for you, and emotional recovery for your boys!

Charlee-sorry to high jack this thread but I read about your accident! So glad to hear you are ALL ok! Hope your arm and shoulder get better soon! Also glad you are getting the week off! Take it easy as much as you can!

Oh no! I feel your pain! I had my in-laws over while swaying. I cooked mushroom risotto (the jamie oliver oozey one but only put the palma ham topping on theirs), veggie lasagne ( loaded with more cheese one end) raw grated courgette,olive oil, lemon and parmesan pasta (more parmesan grated into theirs) and made sure that i had enough calories left at the end of the day to have a glass of wine or something. Nothing makes people suspect/ hassle you like not drinking!

Is she a difficult woman to get along with? Are you worried about your T levels? Tell us what you are concerned about as many of us have been through teh sam and might be able to help - worrying that she might ruin your sway is no fun.

I bet! The way around the drink thing is have a glass of wine. If they insist on topping it up, nurse the one glass. If "one is not enough", out comes the lemonade/soda water - have a spritzer - looks like you've had a couple of good glasses but in fact have had a fraction of the glass. The real problem is if you can't stomach alcohol at all. I can hear the questions now...

Honestly, MiL can be pretty cool - I could have done a lot worse. She just really doesn't think and can really come across as insensitive and judgemental. I don't believe she means to, but she has a habit of forgetting and has really lousy timing as far as spouting rubbish. Testosterone levels? Maybe a little nervy, however since I've lost 1lb a day over 4 days I'm thinking I have the 'girl swaying worrying' going on. Who knows?! Just taking as it comes for now...
