Jada, that's amazing news, hun!!! I'll be crossing my fingers for your February BFP!!!! :-) Keep us posted, hun!!!

Nikolina, yay, seeing your baby again tomorrow!!! :-) Those are the moments to look forward to :-) Ah, the leg cramps are not pleasant :-( Hope they will ease off...

Missytwoshoes, how are you doing, hun? I must say, I admire you so much for raising more than one child!!! At this point, I can't imagine doing this while already having a child running around... And soon, you'll have three!!! Respect!!! :-)

Emmy, hun, still thinking of you and hoping you are feeling okay...

Lots and lots of love!!

Alice

Nikolina, Yes, that is the name we chose for her. :) Thank you. :) lol some days I don't know how I do it either... I think I've lost my sanity a long time ago. :p It can be hard when they're fighting/arguing but also they have moments where they're so sweet with each other and that makes it all worth it! My next appt is December 29th. I'll be 28 weeks. Oh yes, it is a great feeling knowing all is well with her. She lets me know it too, she's very active in there. Sometimes yes at night she will wake me up with her movements and makes it hard to sleep. But it's ok, I love feeling her. :) Glad to hear your anatomy scan went well and that baby is doing good! That's good you have lots of energy right now, better to put it to good use and work extra hours and make the $$ you're going to need for your new baby! Yes, unfourtunatly those leg cramps are very common. I don't usually get them but I hear they just tell you to drink more water, which feels like their answer for everything. If I drink anymore water I'm going to turn into a fish. lol

Alice, my girls are very excited. :) They hug and kiss the belly every night and say "nigh night Aubrie." lol. They're very sweet and can't wait for her to get here. I can't believe she's here!!! yay yay yay!! Congrats mama!!! Don't apologize for not having time to get on and let us know! I of all people understand what life with a newborn is like and it's not easy! Breastfeeding IS very hard. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. You're learning and so is baby girl... and it will take some time to figure it out. Plus your nipples have to get used to it, and it's a whole different sensation that can't be compared to anything else. I myself had a rough time with breastfeeding because no matter what I did I never seemed to make enough. Don't beat yourself up over it, it's not worth it. All that matters is a happy baby AND happy mama. <3

Jada, how exciting about starting IVF! I hope this new chapter brings great rewards!! I will have everything I can crossed and will pray that February brings two pink lines for you!! <3 Always feel free to come here and vent about your struggles if you have any, we're always here to listen as you did for us and our struggles to a bfp! <3

Well ladies... I had my 3 hour glucose test yesterday and failed. :( Which I knew I would because I had Gestational Diabetes with both my girls. But it doesn't make it any less hard... I don't want to prick my finger 4x a day and give myself insulin every day... it's awful and I know it's worth it to keep baby girl healthy but it's miserable and my fingers end up hurting really bad from being poked so much despite me rotating fingers. Then my legs look bruised and I just feel like a druggie. :( I've also had this rash that's been insanely itchy and making life hard. Because for whatever reason my entire skin aside from the rash itches too. Come on baby girl... mama needs you to grow quickly and come out soon so I can feel normal again! But she's moving lots and seems healthy despite all my issues. lol. Also... which this has NOTHING to do with pregnancy... but we've been getting A LOT of rain and had some localized flooding and because of that we've got ant coming in by the HOARDS. ugh. They're everywhere in my house despite me cleaning really good, which of course is not why they're here. They're here because of the rain, and we ran out of ant baits and I just sent hubs to go get more and ALL the stores are sold out because everyone is having an ant problem! So frustrating! I hate them crawling on me. :( So if ya'll could say a prayer that these ants move on OUT that would be really really great! On a positive note, we went this last weekend and got our Christmas tree. :) The girls love it. I'm pretty proud of myself. I got everything done and decorated in the first weekend of December, which usually takes me till the second week to finish because I'm usually more bah humbug than this. lol. I blame nesting. :p

Hi ladies! So happy to hear from you all.

Alice, CONGRATS!!! I know you have to be over the moon, while exhausted, but for such a wonderful reason! I'm so happy for you and glad you let us know :) thanks for doing that!

Nikolina, you are getting closer! How was your appointment? Glad you have energy and getting things done. Hoping your legs are feeling better?

Missy, sounds like things are going really well for you too and that's great to hear!! I'm happy your girls are so excited, how's your hubby holding public? That's awesome you and Nikolina are both feeling your LOs, soooo cool!

I want to really, sincerely say thanks to each of you for being here and remaining so encouraging to me! It makes me so happy to be on your journeys and gives me so much hope! I'm awaiting AF, she should be here soon, and on day 3 I start BC!! We will head to NC in Jan to meet with the docto, nurses, and lab. So it's definitely getting underway! All prayers and hopes and well wishes are more than welcomed:)

Jada

Merry Christmas ladies!!! (well, it's Christmas eve here, but I thought I'd pop on and wish you all a good holiday if you celebrate it.) :)

Hope everyone is well!

me not so much... currently taking antibiotics for a sinus infection and my rash has gotten much MUCH worse and is now all over my body. I get about 3 hours of sleep a night because I'm up scratching till I bleed. >.< Please send me prayers and good thoughts that my body heals itself soon!

Congratulations Alice!

Haven't been on here in a very long time.
No rainbow for me. It's been 15 months.
Pretty sure I'm not meant to have any more.
Starting the new year heartbroken beyond words

Hi sweet sweet ladies!!

Emmy, thank you so much hun...! You are in my heart, and I feel so sad that you are still waiting for your rainbow baby :-( I see that you feel like all hope is lost, but I keep praying and believing that your rainbow baby is on its way!!! I wished he/she would have already been here, but I guess he/she is taking his/her time... I'm not giving up on your rainbow baby, hun, I'll cheer for you all the way!!! Let a baby be my wish to you for 2016, and with all my heart I hope it will come true...

Nikolina, hun, thank you for the wishes :-) I hope you enjoyed the holidays? :-) Yes, there is a lot to learn :-) But it's very nice to see how Anna already develops her own personality. We hold her a lot, and she sleeps next to me at night. They say you can't spoil a tiny baby, and love and warmth is something I missed a bit when I was a child, so I'm trying to give her plenty (without overcompensating, hopefully ;-) ). How are you doing now that you're in the third semester? Did you manage to still not know the gender? Ah, I'm so curious and excited to 'meet' him/her!!! :-)

Missytwoshoes, I'm so sorry to hear about your rash being worse instead of better! You could really use your sleep... :-s Is it any better now? I hope so!!! Aubrie is really a very nice name :-) And that's so cute about your girls!!! :-) Thank you for your comforting words about breast feeding! It IS very hard. In fact, I gave up :-s I couldn't feed her directly (had to use a machine to get the milk + was not enough too) and it was just too much, I wanted my hands free to take care of her, not to be tight to a machine :-s I'm feeling much better now and I can be a better mum for Anna like this.

Jada, thank you!! :-) And thank you for your sweet words, hun... I am very happy that being 'here' is valuable for you, and I intend to support you all the way!!! I'm also grateful for the support you sweet ladies gave me and still do!!! This is probably a stupid question: what is BC? How are things going in the meantime? I'm crossing my fingers that the IVF will very soon do what is meant to do!!! :-)

AFM, I'm having a hard time remembering my pre-Anna life :-p Anna is growing like crazy, and it is so nice to watch her grow :-) And watch her develop her personality :-) I feel better now that I've quicked breast feeding, although it took some time to accept that it wasn't working out... My admiration for other mums grows by the day :-p

Wishing you all a lovely 2016!!! I hope that your dearest dreams will come true...

Lots of love

Alice
