You've expressed my sentiments, precisely! I couldn't love my boys any more than I do, but there is a bond between so many mothers and daughters that I truly crave. I am anxious about what going through it all will be like (sleep deprivation and all!) but I secretly would be thrilled with twin girls! My one worry about another baby now is the age difference.... My boys are 6 1/2 and 5. That's a lot, and I worry about a baby being lonely as she/he grows up. Do any of you gave experience with age differences like that?

Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that I've known loads of families where the children have large age gaps but are extremely close. I've also seen the opposite happen. The main difference I think is encouraging the close relationship by involving the older children in everything...pregnancy, scans, dressing, changing, bathing, etc.... Do everything you can to encourage the closeness! My first 2 are 7 years apart and have their moments, that's for sure, but I think that's true of any age gap :-)

[QUOTE=girliedreamz;531772]Welcome Bayoudancer and Sisterplease! (And, might I just say I am in total awe of you having 6 kids already, sisterplease! Ohmigod, I had to think long and hard about trying for #4 just thinking how overwhelming that would be. You , go, mama!)


Haha!! To be honest, going from 3 to 4 was the scariest transition. I found 3 children HARD work, and kind of fell pregnant 'accidentally' with number 4 and worried and stressed the whole time about how I would cope. But it went from the scariest to the easiest transition ever!! He just fit right into place, and I was more confident then I'd ever been. 5 and 6 followed in the same way. I've heard from several people that 2 to 3 was the hardest transition but 3 to 4 was the easiest. You'll be fine!!!! Hope you have a successful month :-)

I am in awe at anyone having more than one child Haha!! I am terrified! My son was/isn't an easy baby though. He was reflux and allergic to diary (still is) top to toe skin shredded from it and left with bad excema. Worst was the crying and no sleep though. He screamed day and night sleeping approx 3/4 hrs out of 24 for months until he was diagnosed. He's been in hospital more times in this last 2 years than id like to remember too. He a little tantrum pants now but so loving nd I wouldn't change him. He's only just started sleeping through the night but still wakes a few times a week.

God we must be mad ttc again Haha!! So im terrified! Hats off to you mama's of lots of kids x

Aww, I also know the horror of awful eczema! Son number 3 had it so bad he'd wake up with bloody sheets some mornings. Combine that with asthma, and the all night coughing episodes, and it was a traumatising first year. My daughter had a dairy allergy and had bloody diapers/nappies in her first year before we realised what the problem was. All awful stuff! Sorry your poor little boy has had to go through all that, hope he grows out of it soon!!!

Not sure dreaming, I don't temp because I sleep so badly most nights.

OK so I think I have a +OPK. Question though: I was going to take Zrytec morning of attempt but I have no EWCM, so would taking Zrytec hurt me? I know you need some EWCM to conceive. I am thinking of leaving it out, but wondering what everyone's opinions were...

Yeah I think you could leave it out as its to dry up the ewcm and as you say you need some. Good luck!

Yaay to starting testing tomorrow Greeneyes! Fingers crossed for you. Im a big tester too so will be starting from 10dpo as well.
Looking forward to hearing of your results :-)

[SpottyBear]

Mrs Incredible so sorry to hear of your miscarriage, everything crossed for a quick bfp for you

[greeneyes]

Well, think I'm out. I started spotting last night. Its gone from brown to red. Its still really light, but I usually start to spot at 7 dpo (unless I'm PG). Please don't even say "It could be implanation bleeding/spotting". I don't believe in implantation bleeding outside of a SCH.

[dreamingofwin]

Oh no greeneyes. Hopefully not but if so will see you over in ttc March as I expect bfn this month x
