Yay, Nikolina, I'm so glad you got to hear your baby's heartbeat, and so strong!! That's such a wonderful and reassuring sound :-) You're doing amazing, hun, I'm so happy for you!!! :-) So nice that your Dr even complimented you about your bum! :-)

Lots of love to all of you!!!

Alice

Hope everyone is good! Surgery on my tubes Monday, please send up prayers ;)

Hi ladies!

Jada, I'm okay, thanks :-) I now have 6.5 weeks to go until my due date, it barely feels real... I'll be sending LOTS and LOTS of prayers your way for your surgery!!! How long do you have to recover from such a surgery?

Best wishes!!!

Alice

Alice,

Seems like the time flew by for you! Are you settled with all of her stuff and her room? My surgery went fine, but I have no working tubes...so we are now looking into IVF. I'm trying to wrap my head around it all, ya know?

Oooh, Jada, I'm so sorry to hear that about your tubes :-( Thank God that things like IVF exists, but this is such a sad page in your story, it's really from major to minor :-( I'm so sorry, I know you had probably expected to be back on the normal TTC track by now, and so was I!! I really feel sad, this feels like one of those journeys at which, every time you think the finish is around the corner, there is just another nasty corner :-( I can understand you need some time to process this... How are you and your husband feeling about IVF? And if you decide to go for it, when would that start?

AFM, no, not entirely ready yet, but I'm hoping to have most of it done in the next few weeks...

Sending you lots of love, hugs and baby dust!!!!! No matter how long this road gets, I strongly believe that you will make it till the end, and you will be blessed with the baby you have been longing for!!!

Alice

Alice,

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure you are more prepared than you may think. We have a follow up with the doctor for my post op and to talk about the way ahead. My dh and I have already started looking into the IVF coverage financially. I already have a lot of injectables which will be used for the procedure. If I had to guess I would say we may try for December for the first try. I will keep you posted.

Hope the rest of you are doing well!

Jada

Hi ladies!

Jada, keep us posted about the follow up! I guess IVF is the most logical way to try now, so in that case it would be convenient that you already have some supplies. Is there some form of financial support for IVF in the States? And how do you feel about IVF emotionallly? No matter what method the Dr says, there is definitely hope and I sure dare to hope that your TTC path, which has been long and challenging, will soon reach its happy ending and you'll be blessed with a BFP, no matter how!!! You are a strong woman, you will get there, cause I know you will keep fighting no matter what life throws at you! And I will be here to cheer for you! Good luck, hun!!!

How are the rest of you ladies doing?? I hope you are all okay!!

AFM, I'm okay, but my husband has been ill for weeks now and it's getting hard to keep things running on my own, but I guess that's a good preparation for taking care of a baby ;) None the less, it's heart breaking to see him feeling so bad, so I hope he's better soon...

Lots of love!!!

Alice

hi girlies! <3

Alice, yes we've got lots of girls clothes and toys. I pretty much saved everything. Just need to get a car seat and just little things like socks, bottles, diapers, wipes etc. Oh those darn hiccups! They're cute to us but I always imagine the baby getting annoyed. lol. My second got them very often. 5-8 times a day it would seem. I was really worried and asked my OB but they said it was normal. Some don't have them very often and some very often and it's all normal. So I was glad to hear it and she came out perfect. :) Glad to hear she's active! That's great news! Head down is always great too! My first was breech until 38 weeks and it was awful with her head in my ribs and it hurt when she finally turned. Oh man, sorry to hear your hubs is sick! Hope he starts feeling better soon!

Nikolina, I'm feeling ok. Very tired... all the time. But I manage. How're you feeling? Yes, baby girl started kicking around 16 weeks off and on, 18 a bit more and by 19 I was feeling her every day quite often. Even to the point that my hubs and girls got to feel her on the outside! They were so excited! Oh, I'll bet what you felt was baby! Has it increased any since you posted that 2 weeks ago? My next appt is Tuesday. :) I'm so glad to hear you had a great time on your trip! ahh man! I can't believe you're going to wait to find out! I was totally going to..and then I just couldn't wait. lol. I'm glad I did though since I'm a bit sad it's another girl I have time to prepare myself. :) So glad to hear your appt went well and baby is great!

Jada, even though I haven't posted I've been reading everyone's posts and have been praying for you and your surgery since you posted! I'm sorry to hear you didn't receive good news. :( IVF is great though and I'm glad it's available to people who need it, I hope soon you'll get your IVF miracle!! I saw a picture recently someone posted on facebook of a sweet baby girl with shots and meds and all sorts of stuff made into a heart around her to represent all that the mother had to endure to get that precious miracle. <3 I will continue praying you get your miracle baby soon too.

Emmy... thinking of you. <3

AFM, I go for my next appt on Tuesday for my 20 week appt. Then the following Tuesday I have the big 2 hour scan where they look at the baby and make sure all is developing well. So pray we receive good news in regards to that. She's pretty active and I feel her often. Sometimes it even hurts, so I know she's getting stronger. :) Yesterday was Halloween so I took my girls out and it was raining so much! we got nearly 2 inches of rain yesterday and my girls were SOAKED. Poor things. But they had fun. Now they're getting sick tho. :( We weren't even out that long. I think I might be getting it too...hopefully not but my throat is sore. Been really tired. It's hard work keeping up after 2 kids and being preggo and working. I didn't know it was going to be so rough on me... but it's all worth it in the end. :) Miss you ladies! Sorry I don't post as much anymore, I just don't have the energy to get online most days.

Hay Missy hun, how did your appointment went???

But we will see in March lol :) Hope your tiredness goes away soon hun, mine went away, im full with energy now :) Sending you lods lods love hun and can not wait to hear about your appointment :) xxx

So.. i had my appointment on 28 oct, cos of the hospital being, bit far, i had a choice to move my appointments to town im living, the only down side is that scan machine is the traveling one, so its small and hard to see... i was v disappointed, they even didnt measure a baby!!!It was v quick, i saw a heart and bit moving and thats all. Doctor said its all good. Ahh, i was soo disappointed... but happy that all my bloods and everything came back great and doctor said baby is looking great! So i have booked anomaly scan for 21 November, its private clinic, cos here in hospital they dont do that scan. So can not wait now :) For past week and a half ive been feeling lil one kicking and moving. Even my hubby felt few kicks, and last night we saw my belly moving when baby was kicking!!! Awwww amazing feeling, i feel baby now every day, especially in mornings and evenings, and when i try to sleep lol :) But is amazing to finally feel lil baba :) Can not belive im 20 weeks alredy!!! Where did the time went!!?

Sending you all ladies lods lods love! Sorry i havent been here lately, but i still thinking of yea ladies!!!! xxx
