HELLO GIRLIES!! very sorry for my absence........feel like such a putz sometimes --- and suffice it to say (w/out going into all the boring details) that work has been kicking my a$$!!!!!!!!!!!!! but i've sworn that i wouldn't beeatch about it with the unemployment rate being so damn high everywhere --- i am lucky to have a job!!! and by the time i get home, i'm just whooped and have no desire to get back ON the computer where i've just spent the last 10-12 hours of my day!!!

just know that i've missed you all so dearly........so let's see, first things first.......

LEE --- sending you lots & lots & lots & lots (ok, i hope you get the point) of STICKY BABY DUST!!!!!!!!!! and just as angel said -- enough wind on this side of the pond that my wishes should reach you a-ok!!

YOU'RE BACK and so completely with it!!! can ya see me w/ the whole attitude shake of the head / snappin my fingers --- going "YOU GO GIRL"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so happy that you've been able to climb out of the funk (and ALL of us have been there/done that......) you really sound fantastic my dear.....

MIR -- all i have to say WTF?????? it's ok for YOU to go missing for days at a time, but same rules don't apply to me????? (can you see me LMAO??? ) so kidding.....and believe me when i say i share your opinion of work crap interferring w/ my posting time -- BAH HUMBUG!

SOPH ---- sorry 'bout the episode w/ mum sucks...... ya know, when i was younger (teenager thru about 20-something) i HATED my mother... not to mention she was completely stupid and knew nothing ( ).... and then i grew up!!!!! and while i thought we'd never have a close relationship --- there is rarely a day that passes that we don't talk..... anyway -- not that you requested a dissertation on "angie's relationship with HER mum"....sorry.......back to YOU........sending big hugs!!

Angel!!! So glad you are back and on the road to recovering, was so happy to see your name when I logged on, grieving time is time we all need now and again then we come to a place where we can box it up and put it away and then get it out now and again and look at it and put it back again until we feel the need to get it out again, you sound as though you have really thought things through and have come to a point where you can cope with the whole IF thing and can think about what has happened without it overwhelming you, so proud of you honey........

As for other people my wider family kept on at me everytime we met up making jokes and saying why am I not with child now I wasn't getting any younger you know!! So we were at a family gathering with them all in the lounge and I just came out with it, why I wasn't with child how hard it was and what we would probably have to do to have a slight chance of being with child and yes Miracle I had the same reaction, they all shut up didn't know what to say and eventually changed the subject!! Don't get me wrong I love all of my family dearly, there are a lot of us!! Since then they have been very supportive and are curious as to what happens with the IVF etc etc,

Thankyou for your luck and sticky vibes it was definately windy enough for them to reach me in Sunny Swindon!!

Sophie I am sorry you are having a hard time with your mother, you sound like you have dealt with your feelings about what she has said?? I hope you are feeling better about it today.
Very happy your little chappie is doing so fine!! Easy to push out don't speak to soon you may live to regret those words in a few weeks time!! HaHa, yes I want the link too so put it up soon!!!! 2nd May not long......

Hi jayne hope all is well with you and the babies!!

Miracle really pleased DH is starting a new job, much more stability for you both, things are looking up for you on all fronts now!!

Angie glad your back we are nearly all back together again!! So you have your very own personal beeeeaaaaattttcchhhh!!!!!!!!!! at home hope he is enjoying himself, so do you get a regular service as well then?? Don't work too hard we miss your so full of energy posts!!!

Carolyn You do enough exercise and healthy eating for all of us so don't you dare feel bad about having a few crappy eating days!!! Blame it on the hormones I always do every day!!!

Hi Becky hope you are doing ok.........

OK warning embie talk

Thankyou all for your good wishes and vibes because they have certainly worked!! I am officially PUPO, they transferred 2 grade 10 embryos at 3.00pm this afternoon, all went without a hitch, one of our embryos stopped growing and the other one they will continue to grow till saturday, if it survives they will re freeze it for us. So now we wait.........

OK warning over

I just want to say thank you so much all of you for welcoming me on to this thread with such kindness, I am aware it has been going a long time and I kind of gate crashed it!! I feel like I have been in here with you for ever and it has only been a few weeks!! You are all so supportive of each other and you have all really helped me through the last 3 months when perhaps I would have felt I could have gone crazy with grief but I didn't and that is in part thanks to you guys.



Ok off to lie on my sofa now as DH is fussing over me like mad, check in on you tommorrow

Love Lee xxx

[PMApsy]

Hello ladies!

Whew, lots of action, I love that!!!!

Miracle,
Hi girlie! THanks for your kind words, they got right to my heart. *hugs* Sorry to hear you're still so tired... I hope you can get some rest this weekend, you deserve it!!!!

Carolyn,
LOL about eating crap!;) I agree with Angie, this doesn't sound like you! Must be the meds! Remember our old Auntie... always blame it on the meds! Keep up that PMA girlie, it's amazing! Any new dates for us with your tmt? Thanks for your comments about the situation with my mother, it made a lot of sense and it does put things in perspective!

ANGEL!
Girl, you rock, you know that? Reading your post was incredibly refreshing, and I agree with the others, you're showing amazing attitude. Sure everybody experiences that kind of struggle in their own way, but I really really like your attitude and your view on all of this. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better and I just want to give you a huge HUG and send you a huge SMILE! Love ya! To answer your questions, the nursery is practically ready, just some details that we have to see to.

Jayne,
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to comment on my situation; it's always great to know someone is going through the same struggle and finds a way to manage it.

Angie!
It's great to see you around, LOL you always start your posts with a big scream, it's so funny! Don't feel bad, you know we think about you and send you good vibes even when you're not around! I hope the situation at work gets better soon!!! And I hope DH takes good care of his working girl!!!

Lee
OUR PUPO GIRL!!!! Yippee!! This is EXCELLENT NEWS! I thought about you a lot these last 24 hours, keeping everything crossed for you... so do you have a test date? (sorry, forgot to check if you had a ticker) I know it's the hardest part now, but if you keep yourself real busy, it passes by faster. About my mother, yes, I am feeling better now that she's agreed to respect my wishes at the very least. She sent me another email today, chatting about other stuff, so it's an occasion to just move on and go back to friendly matter-of-fact emails like before, which is comfortable.

As for me, I HAVE EXCITING NEWS! But warning, it's baby-related...

First of all, I FINALLY reached my boss and we talked about my cunning plan. Turns out he was quite worried that it would create a precedent and what if other psychologists made the same request afterwards, and what would the administration say if they knew... but when I told him about how I had arranged things with my patients, how most of them had completed their therapy with me or were at the perfect stage to be transferred to my replacement, and when I told him about all the administrative stuff I had to do anyway before my leave, he seemed to relax and he agreed to let me work from home. WOOHOO! Can't describe the feelings I felt yesterday! So I'm not on leave yet, don't get me wrong. I'll still go to the hospital at least twice next week, I'll do a presentation in a conference, attend a meeting and give one last session to a cligny borderline patient. But being a very organized person, all the administrative stuff I told my boss about absolutely doesn't need to be done over 3 weeks... a few days will be more than enough in my case. LOL So till the end of the week, i only want to relax, knit, run some errands, clean the house a little bit... I'll work next Monday when I'm at work.

Plus my best friend's situation has changed. She was supposed to end her bedrest today, but her doc examined her... and she passed from 1.5 to 3 cms dilated, and from 30% to a staggering 75% effaced. At 4 cms, you're in active labor, so... the minute she has regular contractions, she had to rush to the hospital because things could happen pretty quickly. For now though, she's just back on strict bedrest. She's 35.5 weeks today, and the baby is fine. But her doc played the perfectionist card to scare her a little bit into respecting the strict bedrest and said she'd prefer if my friend made it to 37 weeks. But I know in my heart that she won't be able to make it, her labor will start within a week. I just feel it, but I might be wrong of course. I also feel that her baby is healthy and okay, and it's not the end of the world at all if he comes out now, he's ready.

So my friend timidly asked me if I could run some last-minute errands for her, and of course I will! I'll see her on Sunday, and we'll do a super quick cross-stitch project together, and knit her baby a hat and booties.

and for those interested, here's the link to my pregnancy album with the last ultrasound pics... and two videos on which you can see the baby move (it's there for my family, but I thought I'd let know know why there's that big belly and sweat pants on the page, lol!)

***warning over***

Other than that, my nose is particularly itchy and runny today, and I saw a patient on Monday that had a super bad cold. Oooh I hope I'm not in for another bad cold... Positive thinking!

Okay, time to bake some cookies and muffins! Weeee!

Take care ladies,

Sophie xxox

Hi,

Sorry to gate crash your thread Jut a quick message for Sophie - Could you resend me your e-mail address. Our house was broken into a couple of weeks ago and among other things my laptop taken - as a result I have lost everyones contact details.
I hope you are doing well, I can't believe you have less than two months to go.

Shantalla - How are things going, your little girl must be growing up fast.

Angela
