Babies due Jul/Aug/Sept 2014

[miracle19]

hi Joanne, I spoke to Gp and actually talking to him having a proper conversation with hubby and I feel a lot better. Not perfect but much better and feel like I am relaxing into it so much more. The depressing thing is I go back to work in about 8 weeks so not got much time left...
how is everyone else getting on.
Jue so exciting not long now. xxx

So we are coming up to first birthdays can anyone quite beleive it.

Miracle you will be fine once you actually go back to work. I think the worry before is worse than actually doing it. Try to forget about it and just enjoy your time off.

Georgia is crawling, pulling herself up and has plenty of hair but no teeth!!! There are a few other babies a similar age with no teeth still but I hope it won't be long until she gets some. We are having a little baby party on her birthday and on the weekend a close friends and family party at home as we had a big christening instead of a large first birthday party. Plus I think we want some more professional pictures doing when she is walking. What is everyone else doing?

Hope everyone is well and the babies are progressing well.

WELL first official day back to work today. It was ok. But warm and weird teaching again as it has been a while. Hated leaving Joshua but he is with mum or Ste until September so no nursery yet which makes things a bit easier.
Missing daughter's sport's day tomorrow which is a nightmare as they changed the day and I can't change work as I am on a course tomorrow PM. My mum is taking Joshua to watch and have the picnic with her but she is really disappointment as I have always been able to go before.
Sad to be back. Missing my man and the thought that this is it...work forever again. No more babies. It is weird after trying for babies for 13 years I almost (not completely as it was agony) miss it. Think I got so used to trying that it is weird that, that part of my life is done. Loving my beautiful kids though so just got to keep that in mind.
Hope everything is ok. x

Miracle - how is work going? I am sure going back for a bit and then having the summer hols is nice. Georgia starts nursery one day a week from September. I am sure she will love it as she is so outgoing and loves other children.

I think long term ttc comes part of who you are so Its hard when you are not doing it but I am sure in time other things will replace that part.

So all the babies are one or just coming up to one. We had a lovely baby party for Georgia and then a family party to celebrate her birthday. She is talking lots and has a few words she knows. She was bought a baby as a present and loves it. She couldn't wait to even take it out of the box before she was kissing it and feeding it with the bottle and making such cute little sucking noises as she did it.

How is everyone else?

Hello ladies,

Apologies for not replying sooner but I only ever check on my phone and replying a proper message is too fiddly!

Molly is fabulous. I expressed until she was 10 weeks as she lost too much weight initially and with her being premature there wasn't much room for it. But as it took 3 hours to express, feed, wash and steralise for next time, it just wasn't sustainable and she started sleeping through when she went onto formula. She is crawling freely, standing up unaided but not walking yet. Says Da Da a lot, even when I tell her to say Mama! She has 6 teeth but does not like them brushing....any tips!!!????

Yes, it was Mollys first birthday a few weeks ago which was lovely. She truly is a gorgeous little thing and I'm besotted. Sadly I have just gone back to work, 2.5 days a week so it is not horrendous but a bit of a shock to the system and we are both trying to readjust. I don't know if this is coincidence or linked but she has got majorly clingy these past few weeks. She is currently in nursery 2 days a week to try to get her to settle quicker but will drop to the regular one day next month. Then my sister will have her one day and my in laws the half day. She doesn't like nursery yet but getting better each day so that's a relief!

Anyone planning another? I initially said (before we had her that is) that I would try again straight away, but that soon went out of the window! My cycles stayed quite regular afterwards but they are becoming more erratic and I'm not ovulating every month so don't want to leave it till she is 5 etc but won't be trying before she is 2 I don't think. If we only have her, she will still bring us so much joy and so be it.

hope everyone is well and babies are growing well...
Joshua turned one on the 25th Of September. Cannot believe it really. Time went by so fast. In my mind I know he is our last but a little part of me is sad about that. I know we are finished and what a perfect family we have but I still feel sad that others can just see what happens. The stress of actually trying for another baby would be too much.

Just thought I would add some pictures.
So proud of my little family.

Hey ladies!

How is everyone doing? I have tried to attach a photo of our little girl, no longer a baby!! Hope I have done it right.

Love her so much. It has put me off anymore until now as I worry how she will react when I have less time for her. But recently she has started to like babies etc and so we are thinking about trying in Sept once we have been on holiday. I still have in date clomid and my cycles are insane again but OH doesn't want to take it without supervision. So I may have a round before we try to see if it regulates things.
