Inglewood ~ Hope all the colic tips help - how have they been today?? How are you coping generally - have you got lots of help? Do you go out and about much?

Indigo ~ Love to see a bump pic

Pinga ~ I will defo go into June I really wish my babies came earlier!! My induction date is 11th...feels a lifetime away!
And still no name When DH and I do have 5 mins to think of any we either don't agree on the odd one we do find but generally we are REALLY struggling! I think it will be the first time I have had a baby and had no name

Hope ~ GL hun, FX for you

Thanks for all the kind comments about my bump - funny isn't it as I don't think I look good at all - just big, fat and old!

Loving the weather - even though my ankles wouldn't agree

Had a few teary days - all I can keep thinking is how different everything would be if it was my DD I was waiting for.....

Big hugs babymad. He will be here soon and you will feel much better.dave just melts my heart and your little chap will too. One day he will give you that big gummy smile and your older boys will be fussing over him and you will not be sad. Maybe that longing will never go completely but it will stop being the first and last thing you think of every day.

I'm still about sunset, just not a lot of energy at the moment, lol. Diet is going well, lost 5lbs in the first week but nothing in the 2nd week?? Hopefully will lose a couple of lbs everyweek from now till attempt in june.

Hi ladies, had problem with my internet all day today also had a teary day... my friend finally had her dd (she is the one with 3 ds's). She totally deserves it of anyone but it is still hard...she was one of my few boy only mums... in fact that why i befriended her in the first place! Going to have to do the whole meet the baby, spend loads of time with the baby, listen to everyone coo over it being a girl... silly of me i know. Just hard. Anyway going to get on here when boys in bed and catch up on posts...dh is out all eve...could have done with him for a hug. X

Deaks virtual hug from me (((hug))) xxx

[deaks66]

Right i got boys to bed (feel bad for being narky with them all day ), had a few tears and now need to sort my head out. This constant thinking of what might have been keeps leaving me with a headache. Like you Indigo, the other day i also had what i can only describe as a migraine... couldn't even turn my head or roll over in bed...just hideous! I think the stress is getting to me.

Pinga/charlie/babymad, the name situation is hard isn't it. It feels like using sloppy seconds and i guess we're all searching for that name that we forgot all about or hadn't noticed before in the book.... but it doesn't matter how many times i flick through the pages, nothing jumps out! But i think i may finally be there with a name and dh seems ok with it though hasn't committed yet.

Hope&D, is your attempt tonight? i seem to remember a post of yours saying what cd it was on and me looking at your chart thinking i must remember it is a wednesday and wish you luck. If not, it must be very soon. GL! it is soooooo your turn!

Sunset, hi hun, sounds like your ds had a fab party. How is dd doing...still only waking once in the night i hope?!

Aurora, interesting you should say that about not being able to get 4 kids out of your head. I really only wanted/kinda still want three so im trying to get the idea of 4 kids INTO my head! Don't want to leave much of a gap as from day one i always wanted my kids to be a similar age but also cant imagine the stress of having 4 under 6 in my household! I guess knowing it would be pgd and therefore a dd (if i was successful of course) would make it easier to cope with.

Babymad, this has been such a tough pg hey? its horrid to constantly have that feeling...mine is from the moment i wake up to the moment i sleep and doesn't really disappear much in-between at the mo How are things with your dh? are you talking more even if not about bubs name?!

Wishing4pink, great news on the diet and GL for June...we will be cheering you on!

Charlie, like babymad, big hugs hun. Not long now.... and what a relief it will be i hope! Pregnancy is the worst bit about gd in many respects i think. What a long old slog which gets harder everyday.

Right feeling a bit brighter. Perhaps my problem all day has been that i couldn't get on here...its like my therapy!

[deaks66]

Thanks maybe, i needed that Your posts about dave are part of what keeps me going everyday... and i know once my little man is here, the pressure will be so much less. How are you feeling about all things gd? or are you managing to avoid thinking about it all for the time being at least?

[maybebabythree]

Deaks I have to say that as time passes and the pg hormones have worked there way out of me my gd gets better every week. Dave is pretty absorbing so what with his scrummyness, two other kids and the loveliness of really enjoying being a new mum (been there, done all the mistakes so this is so much more enjoyable ) I have little room for gd. I really don't think any one looks at me with pity - last week a old couple come up to us in a cafe (take them every week for the last four years) and said how lovely my boys are and how I was a good mum. I feel comPlete for the first time ever. I never thought I would. However hand me a dd on a plate and I would take her in a flash. Problem is like you four kids was never on my radar and I would need to move and Surrey is not a cheap place to get a four bed house. Plus it would have to be a dd to take all that extra risk but no gauranteed way to get that. 15 months ago I was so sure I never wanted another boy but honestly he was meant for us. Life is pretty damn great right now.
