Hello Brave Phoenix Ladies

I love Lis's idea of "blooming Phoenixes"! May this wish come true for all!!



Margarida is growing fast and changing all the time. They are always doing new things and evolving from one phase to another.
The first few weeks (+/- 2 months) are much harder than I had imagined - but worth every single second!!!!!

Hi Girls!!!!


Hope all well with you all

GAIL - Where is our new addition??!! Hope she hurries along - you must be sooo excited and going insane with impatience! Have a ride over the speed humps xx

NIKKI - Glad stimms are going ok. You will find that does happen occassionally. Find yourself panicking over the littlest thing don't you! No hot sweats, mood swings,headaches? Hope not. The hot sweats were a nightmare for me and I had a memory like a sieve!! Brain went to mush.

LIS - I am soooo pleased everything went well on the scan. Bet you still pinch yourself don't you! Roll on September. Add your new date to the list.

LUCY - How are you chick? Hope ok xxx

JEN - Hello Mrs, Hope you are behaving yourself and taking it easy!!! Have your parents gone home now?

MLG - Good to hear from you. Margarida sounds delightful!! Can imagine it is very hard work tho!!

Well, i am feeling extremely positive. Actually trying not to think about treatment too much (!!).... but with our newest mum MLG and impending mum Gail and expectant Lisa I think all coming good for us all!!! 2007 is definately going to be our year!!!

Have a fab weekend. We are having a BBQ on Sunday so pray for sunshine! xxx

Sorted out food and drink buffet and we have had 80 replies to come to th night. We didn't want pressies and instead asked everyone to give to our charity 'MAKE A WISH FOUNDATION', Everyone has been superb and we have raised #1474 (pounds)so far from their donations It's so wonderful....

Question???

I am on day 4 of stimms and had the stretchy egg white clear cervical mucus! Is this ok/normal in a IVF cycle???

In a natural cycle with me it means Ovulation will be in the next day or 2!!! A little worried, but sure it's ok!! Just need some1 to re-assure me!!!

Enjoy the sunshine every1, this is lovely to have sun again!!! xxx

[Lis]

Hi girls!

Sorry Nicki can't help you there ..... you know I know nothing about the IVF game altho I'm sure another lovely phoenix wil be able to! Gald you are feeling good - and with good reason. Everything is going tickety boo for ya with this cycle so far

Julie - did you get sunshine for the barbie? The sun shone all day today here. Nice in the sun but freezing in the shade!! Did you have a few voddies to wash down your burger?!

Jen honey was it warm when you were sitting outside? I hope you are feeling better and all ready for your party. More champagne and vino .... sounds fabulous ... and more lovely photos of the happy couple! Are you both wearing full wedding attire again? Not sure about the password - I struggled to get on photo bucket before so maybe omeone can enlighten me too. That's fantastic about the money you raised

I have had a busy one this weekend. went to Primark yesterday for some bargain basics for the next few months - does anyone know it? I got 2 velour jogging suits, 4 snug fitting t shirts in various colours (with lycra for the bump!), a cotton casual jacket, 3 pairs knickers and 2 pairs pumps - one in silver and same pair in gold and for the grand total of ...... 55 quid!! Happy days! I have been doing so much lounging around in the evenings I was in desperate need of new smart comfies so the joggies are great. Last night we had friends over for dinner and I cooked then today we went to our neighbours for lunch then we took the kids to a country park (one is our godson) where the sun was glorious! Dh has got dvd for tonight but not sure what he got from video shop. Roght now I loom as I am piling on the weight - expanding boobs, diminishing waistline and little bump but still not looking preggers !!!

Gail I am keeping everthing crossed xxxx

Julie, totally understand what u mean, coz its cheap u buy more and still spend the same!!!

But yes, that sounds good, is their maternity clothes selection good then Lisa!!

[Lis]

Hi Nicki last AF Christmas day and I ovulated late that cycle but good to know expected date is right on track! I know how freaky is that, that I am due on your birthday!! We have names in mind - definite one for the boy almost definite for the girl They don' thave maternity clothes in there but I bought velour joggies and T's in a bigger size so hopefully will tide me over the next couple of months I hope. However I have heard you can baloon over the next 8 weeks so will have to weight and see how far I get with them.

Hope all is well with everyohne and hope AF comes soon Julie

[gailp]

Hi Just a quickie to say that I had a gorgeous baby girl at 23.14 on the 29th March 6lb 15 oz. Katie Hope Smith.

Labour didn't go quite to plan as had emergency C section after 28 hours of labour, but I can say she was worth every minute of it.

I will catch up with you all later and can't wait to see all your BFP's

xxx

[nicolamark]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Hugs to Katie!!! x x x
Hope ur recoving well, from C section!! xxx

Catch up with you laters xxx
