Morning everyone!

Ah, our weather has been so strange these past few weeks... we get all kinds of weather during the day. This morning, we woke up with a nice sun, but there are huge clouds everywhere in the sky. You never know. At least the weather is not too hot.

Miracle,
Awwww I heard that inventory is a pain in the neck indeed... what kind of warehouse do you work in? TWO MONTHS, wow, that sounds like a LOT of stuff to count!! Hang in there sweetie.... we'll miss you around here that's for sure! :D I didn't know New Yorkers were so rude... like they completely ignore you, I think? Hehehe every culture has its particularities... In Spain, apparently, the waiters and waitresses are very rude. Like they'll come to your table, all irritated and moody, and they'll blow out "Que?!" (what!?). No welcoming sentence, no "may I take your order please?" LOL and apparently, they're really pissed off when you leave your shrimp peelings on the table or in your plate. The thing to do, I've been told, is to throw them on the floor! That way they just have to sweep them all at once with a broom and it's faster. :D

I hope everybody else is doing great! Nimble, thinking of you here! Can't wait to hear about you! Hope you told DH to send us a post!!!

As for me, I have a patient at 9:30 and then I'm off to my friend Patrick's... he'll do acupressure and reiki and so on... worked last time! :D

Take care ladies and have a great day!

Afternoon my lovely friends - so today's the day!!! kepted myself busy so far, re-organised the study, arranged all the books into alphabetical order, hoovered, dusted and cleaned the windows - well not all of them just the ones in the study - wow they were dirty.......... do you think i may be nesting?????????????!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :lol:

Anyway, get a call from one of the girls who I went to anti-natel with and she has been taken in to hospital last night as all her fluid as gone so they are delivering the baby 5 wks early tomorrow by c-section so we will be hospital together tonight which won't make it so bad when DH has to go home. They can only stay until 9pm and then if I go into labour they will call him back.

PMA - have fun with the accupressure and reiki - sounds very relaxing - I feel sad as I'm likely to miss your big day on thursday - but remember I will be thinking of you in between the screams and pushes!! :wink:

Funny what you said about Australia - we watched a programme on TV last night - the most deadliest places to go in Oz - what with the sharks, spiders, ants, snakes, kicking kangeroos etc you'd think nobody would ever live there and I hate all of the above so why oh why would I go...... !! :? But when we went there, we saw only 2 big spiders and they were harmless but just very big and ran very fast !!

Mir - we shall miss you when you are doing your inventory but you better check in every now again!!

I think most capital cities are similiar cos they are made up with so many different cultures - London can be the same too - but mostly they aren't real londoners but people who have come over to study /work here etc..... I've only been to NYC once and I love it - was only there for about 2 days for business so really didn't get a chance to see it in its full glory!

Carolyn - hope you having a great 'out and about' day.

hi to everyone else - hopefully next time I come on here I shall be a mom - OMG this is so surreal!! i will either get shantala to post or teach DH on what to do so you guys know real soon.

love ya all

Nims, what time you going? If you worried about your cervix staying closed, they should have a medication to that they can place, like a suppository like thing, right up inside the cervix to help it open. Just ask about that that way once they start to induce you they can put it up there. That is soo weird about hearing that the hubbies have to go home at 9. I would go crazy if that happened to me. Is that all hospitals in that part of the world, or just the one you are going to? My only limitation is, because I amhaving twins, we have to go to the OR to deliver but prior to, we can have as many as we want in the room during labor pretty much at any time. But for delivery only up to 2 people. I have offered my DSD to come in and she goes back and forth, not sure if she wants to see the gore, (it is gore to her). Otherwise my sister will be coming in with DH.

Sorry I have not been on in a while guys. Work has been killing me. I actually had an easy day yesterday and was able to sit down most of the day. I look about 9 months pregnant so I constantly get asked when are you going to stop working. Well....... I guess when they decide to come unless I have a complication. Trying to decide to on vaginal or csection. I get more time off with csection. So we will see. Beach, what did you do again?

hi stephjim

Going in at 7pm tonight and yeah the first set of drugs they will do, will be the ones that open the cervix but it all depends on how ripe it is - you never know it may have started to ripen on its own then they will use different types of drugs.....just have to wait and see.

As with DH going home - its only whilst there isn't anything happening - as soon as I go into 2nd/3rd stage of labour that they will call him back asap otherwise he could be hanging around all night and nothing going on.

Hopefully you can stop working soon, must be really hard with the twins - I know that for me it got more difficult from about 30 wks and I was on my feet all day most days so can't imagine how hard it must be for you and then with all the questions as well !!

Just killing time now til we need to leave for the hospital - feels really weird!! Going to have a nice bath, eat some food and guess thats it - it is so hard to explain the waiting around - me and DH said its like when you have finished your holiday and you're sitting around waiting to go to the airport !!

Hi Ladies,

How are u all? So sorry for being MIA lately, been taking some well needed time out for myself and DH. :roll: I have been reading and trying to keep up, so have seen the messages some of u have left for me. Thank you so much for those and for thinking about me xxx

I’m not doing tmt this mth after all. :o Going to give it a miss an wait until next AF (should be around end Sept) I still haven’t had my Aug one yet (a week late) so wont actually start d/r until Oct. Seems far away but I’m sure it will pass as quickly as the past few weeks have :)

I think this IVF lark has taken its toll on me, physically and emotionally – I know it does for everyone else too – I’m tired of it being constantly on my mind, an just want this last tmt over with so we can get on with our lives with or without children together. I know that sounds harsh cos I know I will be devastated if this last go doesn’t work, but I also know that I WILL get over it an learn to live without having a child with DH.

I have been thinking of all the things we can do together – DD is off to Uni (providing she passes her A-levels – Results tomorrow!) and the eldest DD we hardly ever see as she at her b/f’s more often than not. I will have a spare bedroom to keep allllll MY clothes in, kinda like a walk in wardrobe (would much prefer a nursery – but this is a list of things we can do without a baby in our life yes???) I can come an go as I please, nip down the shop instead of loading the car with baby an taking half hour to get ready to go an get 5lb of potatoes :wink: we can have a new puppy (although DH has already said no to that one – I’m sure I cud coax him hehe :lol: ) we can go on holiday when we like an for how long we like to nice warm hot places (ok, I don’t like to fly – but I cud get used to it lol) we can nip off for a quickie when we like :wink: :wink: can have a nap when we like, we can do lots of things together with DD’s or on our own, We can look fwd to DD’s having their own children an spoil the grandchildren … …. I’m sure there are plenty more I can add to the list too. So, IF this doesn’t work (i havent given up yet!!) that is what I am going to do, I’m going to embrace life with DH, the man I married and will love for the rest of my life.

I turned the big 4 zero last Saturday – wasn’t looking fwd to that either, so I embraced it with a huge party with about 50+ guests. It was DD’s 18th birthday the same day so we shared the party and ended up with a BBQ, Karaoke and Adult Assault Course Bouncy Castle – what a scream! Best laff I hav had in a long long time :D

So ladies, if I don’t come on as often, its not because I’ve forgotten all about u all, but simply cos I need a break :roll: You have been my lifeline for the past 2 an half years (god THAT long!) I have laffed with u an cried with u, I have made friends with some of the nicest women I will ever dare to meet …. Strong determined women who don’t give up without a dam good fight.

Don’t ever give up ladies ….

Speaky soon my friends

Becky Xxxxx


P.S - NIMS: Hope u are well and are finally a well deserved mum - was gonna text u, but tht i wud leave it - dont want to intrude, will text Shantala instead, she will know LOL (mind u-she prob aint got money in her phone to text me back LOL) sending much love Xxxxxxxx

Hello lovely ladies,

I'm back. Haven't had a proper chance to catch up and probably won't. Hope you'll forgive me for MIA. I was really ill with a chest infection that lasted a week. Then I was on leave for a week (for the 2 weddings we had to attend). So just got back to work on Monday after 2 weeks and just have too much to catch up on here.

Will pop in later again, but thought I'd let you know that I am still around.

welshbugger - i had to laugh so hard when you said i probably dont have any credit to text you back!! so true!!! but the good news is that i'm now on contract so will definitely be able to text you when nimble has had her baby!! so good to hear from you. xxx

PMA - best of luck for tomorrow hun! keeping my eye on you! :wink:

Goooooood morning ladies!

How are you guys doing? Whew, Miracle is busy elsewhere and it shows!!!! We miss you Miracle!!!!! Where are youuuuuu????

I'm doing well! Pretty excited, actually. LOL and not necessarily about FET tomorrow. I mean, of course I'm looking forward to being PUPO, but there's something else going on. I just put the final touches to my birthday dinner menu (Sunday)! And I'm reeeeeally satisfied with the result! It will be a nice gastronomic vegetarian dinner, but I'll be able to prepare many things in advance. It requires a lot of planning, but work is SO quiet right now that I have plenty of time for that! I'm so looking forward to making the cake!!! Please, recipes, don't let me down!!! ;)

Becky,
Long time no see, really! It's so refreshing to read your posts again! :D I totally understand your need for taking some distance with the board from time to time. It does become a necessary thing. I'm glad to see that you're preparing yourself for all possible outcomes, and I'm especially happy that you've found other ways to really enjoy life. Life is NOT only about having children, same for happiness. Your post was very refreshing to read, and inspiring. Come here! *HUGS* That being said, I really hope that you'll become pregnant with your next try. Go girl!!!

Carolyn,
Thank you so much for your kind words! :) I'll put them in my pocket! ouch, doesn't seem like you have a great day ahead.... ;) Cheer up, though... business dinner means free food! yay? :lol:

Shantala,
Thanks for keeping us posted about Jackie... I can't wait to have news! The poor little thing, induced labor can draaaaaag for a long time!!! Thanks for keeping your eye on me dear!

Have a great day ladies! Next time I post, I'll know how many embies survived! :D:D:D:D
