I am still in total awe - sometimes I have to pinch myself to prove that this is really happening and DH and I are truly parents to such a beautiful miracle - I know a real "gushy" thing to say, but I reckon everyone here can understand what I'm saying because of everything we go through.
My life is spent just watching Amelia all the time - I can't seem to get motivated to do anything. She has totally taken over - well it was to be expected!!
She spoilt me rotten yesterday for Mother's Day - a day I will remember forever. I have a feeling DH helped Amelia plan everything!!!
How are things going for you?
I don't seem to have the time to come and visit the boards like before and I feel terrible for letting people down!!
LP.
Can so imagine how you feel like as I go thru it everyday- dh and i keep wanting to cuddle D.Am worried about getting her into the habit of being held as everyone keeps warning us about it becoming a problem later on, though we cant seem to stop ourselves at all..Though the doc told me that the more you hold her, the more secure a person she will be...
Life revolves around her, and I'm worried my friends have started to think I've nothing else to discuss( I honestly try to talk abt other things with them, but come back to Dhruvaa!!)
Time seems to be flying by and I know she'll be a year old before we know it..
I count my blessings each moment.
I cant wait till she smiles at me in recognition..tears well up when i look at her often.. is this a dream, or what?
hugs to you..
i know only those on this forum will truly understand whatever we go thru.

Theres no such thing as too much love, especially where a baby is concerned. When my daughter was born i held her all the time, i just loved to be with her every second and she is the sweetest well ajusted girl now and my best friend. Enjoy every second of you small babies as they grow fast, I know i held and spent as much time with my little baby as was possible so when i think back on those baby years i have no regrets because i know i didnt waste a single second.
Life sounds delicious Lil P - enjoy every second and just go with whatever feels right - I'm sure your instincts are spot on,
Much love

Baby girl Paris Ruvarashe Born on the 10th of March 2006.
I can imagine both of you are the most wonderful loving mums and the more cuddles for your sweeties the better, don't let others put you off, outsiders have great advice but it's totally not in line with modern thinking so cuddle away!!!!
biggest hugs to both of you

Its good to hear from you. I know what you mean about the one fingered typing!! I was saying to a friend yesterday that mums should also be given 2 pairs of hands when they give birth!!
Isnt motherhood wonderful though? Totally life changing and overwhelming as well, but I cant get over the strength of feelings I have for Jenna. They seem to get stronger as well!
I hope you are going to post some piccies soon, cant wait to see your beautiful daughter. Also please come over and post on the 2005/2006 mummy's. Its a bit quiet!
Take care and keep enjoying all those little moments with Amelia.

HI LP and Amelia,
How're you both doing?
Dhruvaa and myself are fine thank you.. Dhruvaa remains as adorable as ever and is starting to let her mommy sleep at night, which is good!
Have fun together!

Hello,
I've just been browsing the boards this evening, reading about BFP's BFN's, the ups and downs of it all.
And I was thinking what an absolute nightmare IVF is and wondering why on earth we all bother putting ourselves through such agony when the chances of it working are so slim.
Then I came over here for a peek and read your posts (LittleP and Smita)
They brought tears to my eyes and restored my faith in it all.
It can work and can bring such amazing peace and joy to people who make the best parents. I so happy for you both, and for all the other ladies who have little miracles thanks to IVF.
It's given me renewed enthusiasm and optimism.
Keep cuddling those little babies and treasure every second, you deserve it.
love
Claire x

I'm sorry I've not been around much - been enjoying Amelia far too much. She is absolutely terrific and the perfect Lil Mini P - I am feeling truly blessed to have her in our lives.
We had our 6 week check this week and she's doing really well and starting to put the weight on - she's now reached 8lbs!!!! My little one is growing up - she is so tall I can't believe the length of her body and legs.
Anyway I really hope that everyone is well and looking after themselves - it's great seeing all the new babies arriving and seeing so many more mums-to-be joining the lists.
Good luck everyone and here's to more announcements from you very soon.
