Hi everyone, Its great to here good news from you who are newley pregnant, I can feel the excitment from you. Yes today is a year since egg collection. Its now hard to think what we have been through. The pregnancy dosnt feel real its all a daze,how weird do I sound? My son Connor is 15weeks old on friday. he is 16lb 4 and is 65cm long so hes a big baby. A friend of mine has a girl 5months older and is almost the same as him. It is wonderful, very hard at times but hes getting a routine now and I do get some sleep. Not always but now and again I get from midnight to 4.00am then 5.00am to7.00am. I wish you all a smooth pregnancy, mine was great no morning sickness just hard the last month. Oh and my hair is falling out in lumps now. take care all love Karenlouise

Hello Karenlouise It's so, so nice and very encouraging to read other people successes, I hope I can be bothered to come back on and post my success so that other people can get the encouragement and excitement that I've got from reading posts like yours. Sarrah

) ps - my friends hair fell out really badly after she had her baby, but fret not... she did not go bald!

Karen-Louise, Connor sounds like a healthy lad, and I know what you mean about time going so quickly. As for the lack of sleep.....can totally sympathise and I don't want to preach but have you tried the contented baby book. The method is not the easiest (controlled crying is hell on earth) but the results are phenomenal. Both mine were about 12 weeks when we first started and now both sleep from 10.30 (Last feed and we have to wake them for it) till 6.30 to 7.00 in the morning. We also invested in the Sleeping bags as Rebecca is a miniature houdini when it comes to blankets. As for the hair loss...I must have been the only person to be thrilled when it started to fall out as by the end of my pregnancy I was starting to look like Crystal tips (if you remember the cartoon she had one amazing afro about ten times the size of her head). anyway enjoy and savour the moments and any tips from you gratefully recieved!!!
