morning !!

Angie - how you getting on back at work - is it strange ?

Life is getting busier here - both boys are now crawling and pulling them up on anything that is available wether fixed or mobile so lots of bumps - they are sleeping better now as I think they play so hard when they are awake they knacker themselves out!! Both have 8 teeth now and I think the next batch are on the way :twisted:

I am having to have a re think on mums and toddler groups I attend with the boys as the one in the village hall is not purpose built and lots of hazzards and now on the move I can't contain them as easily when out !!

How is everyone else getting on - can't believe some of you are thinking about number 2 already !! - do you have frosties or full cycle - although am sure if I was not so old i would do it all again - i loved being pregnant - well apart from the last 4 weeks when I was so huge it was uncomfortable !!

oh just woken up - best go and stop them tag team wrestling !! Samuel is such a terror - he just dives on Benjamin!

take care ladies - cuddles to all those gorgeous babies xxx

Hi Kim:Nice to hear from you and get to know you better! My Mom and my Mom-in-law watch Savannah while I work, which is great, because they both LOVE spending time with Savannah! You NEED to join Facebook...it's sooo much fun! So many of my client's parents have tried to friend me...I just tell them it's a personal account and they're fine with it.

Angie: I totally understand how you feel about how they change so fast!! Savannah is 8 months tomorrow and has 2 teeth and 2 more coming in now. She is sitting up for a couple of minutes after being propped up, hates to put her knees under her torso...so I think she's far from crawling. However, she is starting to use a few signs I've taught her, including "milk, all done, diaper change." That is exciting for me!! Especially because I do this for work as well ;-)

Wishful: They are crawling-wow!!! How was it baby-proofing the house? I AM thinking about #2, I am old too-LOL! I'm 39 but VERY young at heart...I want Savannah to have another sibling or two to grow up with ;-) Are you done...are twins enough? Ha! Ha!

Kisses to all the Mommies and babies!

Samantha has no teeth yet! My mom told me I didn't teethe until 13 months. I'm still breast feeding, so this is fine with me lol! :lol: She is crawling all over the place though, and it's so fun to watch her explore the world. I wanted to wait two or three years before doing an FET, but I think we may do it next summer. We shall see!

I hope ya'll don't mind if I join you ladies. I have followed most of your stories for a while. We had our DS March 23. I was very active on the boards for a while, but after we had our third miscarriage I just couldn't come on and talk about it anymore. I am back at work now(teacher), so I have a little more time to check in.

Ty is seven months old and is crawling, pulling up, and getting into everything! He just got his first two teeth last week. I have enjoyed hearing about all of your little ones. Don't know how you twin moms do it!!!!!!
After 7 attempts (2 negatives/3 miscarriages), we have TWO miracle boys!! If you would like to hear our story, please visit http://www.ivfsuccessstories.info. Never give up, it can happen for you!!

Hi everyone

How are you and you precious ones? Are you ready for Christmas?

Freddie is crawling around everywhere, it was a very frustrating task for him to master! As soon as he did though all he wants to do is stand up, boys! He is so cute and funny. He has had a couple of tummy bugs lately that have been horrible but he is getting there. He loves nursery and loves seeing the other babies. Although he has been sitting for ages he can't sit himself up easily but the other day I put him in his cot so I could go to the bathroom and when I walked back in he was sat up then proceeded to stand up and bounce up and down and was giggling away!

I am sick of the snow now! 2 foot outside the front and back and digging cars out is not fun. We are so useless in this country when it comes to bad weather and so unprepared! dh is buying supplies from his work (MAKRO) as we are not going out this weekend at all.

Carolyn - it is strange being back at work and I miss Freddie terribly. However, I am enjoying the rush and pressure I always thrive with and having my own identity. I do wish I could afford to work part time but such is life! How are gorgeous Samuel and Benjamin? I bet they keep you on your feet.

Tia - I hope Tia is better, she is so beatiful. It seems so long ago that she was keeping you on bedrest doesn't it? She seems to be coming on really well.

Brit - welcome to this thread. Sounds like Ty keeps you busy. He was crawling early wasn't he? Are you on facebook?

Take care everyone

Ya he is very active! He started "army" crawling the day he turned six months and started crawling "normal" a little after seven months. He is really trying to walk! I didn't think I would be chasing him so much already. He is a pretty big boy, most people think he is older than he is. Thanks for the welcome. I posted here alot when I was first going through treatments, but just started posting again recently. No, I am not on facebook, I think I may be the only one left to join! My family teases me because my grandparents even have one! I think I will join soon. I worry about my students being able to see everything and them trying to "friend" me.

Is anyone going to try for another one anytime soon? We have 4 donor embryos left and would like to try again in the summer. I am worried about the finances, even of a FET. We have just bottomed out all of our resources. I'm also afraid of getting rapped up in all of it again. It has been so nice to have a break from going through treatment, or being pregnant!

Happy New Year Mommies!
Brit: Yes we want to do IVF this year again...not sure when though. When are you thinking of starting?

Wishful;: A year already, wow!! Are the boys talking, walking?

Savannah is doing great but still not crawling, she stands and cruises furniture though!

We are thinking about this Summer, but I don't know where we would get the finances. My clinic was very helpful with meds and reduced prices but once you have a baby they don't have the same sympathy on you anymore. It is kind of intimidating to me to start again. It has been so nice just enjoying my DS and not thinking about getting pregnant or being pregnant! I recenlty started a blog if anyone wants to check it out.

how is everyone ? - been awful quiet on here - can only assume we are all too busy with our babies :D

Can't believe my boys will be 1 in less than 2 weeks - where has that year gone ? - back to work for me in 5 weeks can't complain though as had 14 months off - hopefully only short term and they will make me redundant - really don't want to go back !! Boys have started nursery today thoiugh and they loved it - not even any tears .. and I thought they would miss me !!!

Come on ladies lets have some updates .. walking/talking ??

Samuel is walking and babling away .. Benjamin babbles but can crawl too quickly to be bothered with walking!!

Take care xxxx

Hi Wishful, the boys sound like they are doing really well. Happy first birthday to them (soon)! Amazing. I thought you were going to not go back to work, nursery must cost you a fortune for the 2 boys! Are you going back part time.

Freddie is doing really well. He has been crawling for ages and babbles all the time. He took his first step a week ago but has only walked with his walker since (which he pushes everywhere!). He has called Matt daddy a few times which always make me do a double take. He also loves nursery and is always happy when we get there in the morning. He goes twice a week and Matt looks after hime the other 3 days and then we have a 'handover' before he goes off to work.

Tia - Savannah is gorgeous, I love all your posts about her.

Take care everyone

wow all very quiet on here !!

Hope all the babies are doing good !! My two are both walking now - its chaos - I need about 6 extra hands and some eyes in my butt !!!!

Back to work for me on Tuesday - have had 15 months at home so can't complain - dreading it - although the boys have been loving nursery - been going one day a week - not sure how they will like 5 :? :?

Would be great to hear updates on everyone else
